11. Statement of Interest Charges Pursuant to
the "Truth -In -Lending' Rule 10(b)-16
This statement, pursuant to the "Truth -in -Lending" rule, is
provided to explain the terms and conditions under which interest
charges are computed in your Account if you effect securities
transactions on credit. Interest will be charged on any credit
extended to you by JPMS for the purpose of borrowing,
purchasing, carrying or trading in any security.
The annual rate of interest that you will be charged on any U.S.
dollar denominated credit is based on either the Prime interest
rate (Prime) or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (501FR), The
Prime interest rate is an important index used by banks to set
rates on many consumer loan products, such as credit cards or
auto loans. The Prime interest rate will move up or down in
lockstep with changes made by the Federal Reserve Board. SOFR is
a benchmark for dollar -denominated derivatives and loans. SOFR
is based on transactions in the Treasury repurchase market,
• $0 to $25,000. Prime' + 4.75%
• $25,001 to $50,000: Prime + 4.50%
• $50,001 to $100,000. Prime + 4.00%
• $100,001 to $500,000; Prime+ 3.75%
• $500,001 to $1,000,000: Prime + 3.00%
• $1,000,001 to $3,000,000: Prime + 2.50%
• $3,000,001 to $10.000,000: SOFR + 2.35%
• $10,000,001 and above: SOFR + 1.85%
i The annual rate of interest that you will be charged on any U.S, dol'ar
denominated credit is based on either the Prime interest rate (Prime) or the
Secured overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The Prime interest rate is an
important index used by banks to set rates on many consumer loan products,
such as credit cards or auto loans. The Prime Interest rate will move up or
down in lockstep with changes made by the Federal Reserve Board. SOFR is a
benchmark for dollar -denominated derivatives and loans. SOFR is based on
transactions in the Treasury repurchase market.
Debits in currencies other than U.S. dollars will not be taken into
account in computing the debit size for purposes of determining
the applicable interest rate. The rate corresponding to the debit
size range in which your U.S. dollar denominated debit falls will
apply to your entire U.S. dollar denominated debit except in
certain cases where you may have borrowed money for purposes
other than purchasing, carrying or trading in securities. The actual
rate charged to you at any given time will be notified to you an
request and the amount charged will appear on your monthly
statements.
33840 1 v3.3 I Doc Codes 003 CA, 073 W-9, 085 SEC Disc 4 RETAIN A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS
CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
The rate of interest charged to you on any credit extended to you
in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be based on a rate
quoted by Reuters that is applicable to the currency in which the
obligation is denominated or, if a rate for such currency is not
quoted by Reuters, the rate provided by JPMS' local bank. In no
event will the rate JPMS charges you on credit extended to you in a
currency other than U.S. dollars be less than zero. The actual rate
charged to you at any given time will be notified to you on request
and the amount charged will appear on your monthly statements.
Debit balances in your Account represent money lent to you by
JPM5, and it is the amount lent to you by JPMS upon which JPMS
charges you interest. Each additional purchase of securities on
credit increases your debit balance as do interest expenses and
any other charges assessed against your Account. The amount lent
to you by JPMS upon which you are charged interest may also
include purchases of securities for which payment is made by
check or otherwise for which JPMS has not yet received credit and/
or cash is withdrawn from the Account before the sale of securities
has settled. interest may be charged to your Account at varying
rates during the month to reflect any changes in such interest
rates that have occurred during the month as well as any change
in the applicable rate caused by a change in the size of your debit
balance. Any interest charged on your debit balance that is unpaid
at the close of an interest period will be added to the opening
balance for the next interest period.
If you have a debit in your cash Account and you also have a
margin Account, interest calculated on the debit balance in the
cash Account (calculated on a settlement date basis) will be
charged to your margin Account. Free and available credit
balances in cash Accounts (excluding credit balances resulting
from the proceeds of the sale of securities which are not available
for delivery, whether because the securities are not long in your
Account or not in good deliverable form) are netted against
settlement date debit balances in the calculation of your net
balance. if you have more than one Account at JPMS or if your
Account is one of a group of accounts utilizing the same tax
identification number, you and JPMS may agree separately to
group your Accounts into Account linkages for the purpose of
determining the interest rate payable by each separate Account in
such group of Accounts. If the sum of the debits in any single
currency in all Accounts in such group is greater than the free
available withdrawable credits in that same currency, interest will
be charged on the net debit balance.
in addition to interest on debit balances, interest will be charged
on proceeds of sales paid to you prior to the settlement date and
on late payments, including those in cash Accounts.
The method of computing interest is as follows: interest is
computed on a daily basis on the net debit balance during the
interest period. JPMS' basic interest period runs on a calendar
month cycle from the 1st day through the last day of the month
and is itemized to show the dates of sub -periods and
corresponding interest rate changes, if any, during the month. You
commence your interest calculation by ascertaining the net debit
balance on the 1st day of the month (or the first day thereafter on
which there is a net debit balance) and on each day thereafter.
You then multiply each day's net debit balance by the interest rate
and by the fraction 1/360. The interest charged during the
interest period is the total of the daily charges so computed.
Accrued interest for the period will be charged on the 1st business
day of the following month. Your monthly statements show the
opening and closing balances for the period.
With respect to short sales and "marking -to -the -market." the
credit that appears on your statement due to short sales (including
short sales against the box) is offset by a debit of like amount
because JPMS has to barrow the same security in order to deliver
it to the buying broker and has to provide its lender collateral of
up to 105% of the settled short market value of the borrowed
securities to secure such loan. This means that the debit balance
on which interest is computed will be the difference between (1) up
to 105% of the settled short market value of such short sales
(across all currencies), which shall be calculated daily; and (ii) the
proceeds of such short sales.
in addition, any short positions in your Account will be kept
"marked -to -the -market." This means that periodically, the balance
maintained in the short Account will be adjusted to equal the
market value of the short securities. Securities that are priced
below $5.00 per share may be valued at $5.00 per share for short
marking -to -the -market purposes. If a security has been sold short
(or sold short against the box) and it has appreciated in market
price over the selling price, interest will be charged on the amount
of appreciation plus the value of any additional collateral as
described in the preceding paragraph; if it depreciates in market
price, interest will be correspondingly reduced by the drop in
value. The appreciation or depreciation of securities sold short will
be determined by JPMS based upon daily closing prices or
quotations provided by pricing services, as applicable, or upon
such factors as JPMS in its sole judgment deems pertinent,
including, without limitation, the amount of any interest accrued
with respect to such securities. Therefore, in order to compute the
amount on which interest is charged to you in connection with
your short sales, you will need to contact your J.P. Morgan Advisor
to determine the amount of collateral in excess of 100% provided
by JPMS to its lender, as described in the preceding paragraph,
and the amount of any interest accrued with respect to such
securities.
if JPMS makes changes in any of the credit terms and conditions
described herein or if a change is required by law, we will notify
you of such change within a reasonable period of time, unless such
change results in the same or a higher rate to you, in which case
we will provide you at least 30 days' prior written notice, The
annual rate of interest you are charged may fluctuate with
changes in the stated base rates. The changes in rates resulting
from this fluctuation will be made without prior notice to you (as
contrasted with changes in the credit terms and conditions, notice
of which will be provided as described above).

Disclosure of Third -Party Payments to

CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
short positions, are based on a fluctuating rate applied daily
to the market value of the securities. These fees are based on-
(i) the costs and expenses incurred by J.P. Morgan to settle
and maintain those transactions, and (ii) service fees in
connection with the establishment and/or maintenance of
your short positions. The rates upon which these fees are
imposed and calculated may be disclosed to you at the time a
short position is established, but J.P. Morgan may impose fees
with respect to short sale transactions at any time. Such rates
are not guaranteed or otherwise fixed for any period of time
and are subject to change without notice. They may vary
depending upon market conditions, including any prevailing
difficulty in the market of borrowing the particular security.
for example, increased short selling of a security in the
market, and a resulting increase in demand to borrow that
security, may increase the cost and expense to J.P. Morgan in
establishing and/or maintaining a short position in that
security for your Account(s). Accordingly, the cost of
borrowing any particular security may change rapidly and
materially, and such change is not predictable. You agree to
pay all fees charged in connection with short sale transactions
at the rates established by J.P. Morgan.

amount of assets held in the Accounts. Such payments or
other remuneration are in addition to shareholder servicing
and distribution fees that J.P. Morgan may receive. Funds

Selling and Transferring Fractional Shares. If you hold a
position that has a Fractional Share, you can sell the entire

dividend payable to your Fractional Share position must be
greater than or equal to one half of one cent to be credited to
your Account, and it will be paid in proportion to your
ownership interest.
Ownership Rights. Fractional Shares may be eligible to
participate in mandatory corporate actions such as stock
splits, mergers, or spin-offs. Fractional shares may not come
with the voting rights that whole shares entitle owner to vote
on regarding matters affecting the company that issued the
security. Finally, only whole shares, and not Fractional Shares,

securities you have selected will automatically be reinvested into

voluntary and you may modify or discontinue your
participation at any time. You may enroll by specifying
individual securities or have all eligible securities in your
Account participate in the Program; modify your elections; or
unenroll from the Program through the website or by
contacting your J.P_ Morgan Advisor.
• Trade Execution. With the exception of open ended mutual
funds, provided you are enrolled in the Program prior to the
record date, J.P. Morgan reinvests the Distributions from an
eligible security on the pay date of the Distribution, at an
average weighted price. For certain securities, reinvestment
may occur through the Depository Trust Company (DTC),
which may be later than the pay date. There may be a
difference in price depending on the whether the Program
trade is made through J.P. Morgan or DTC. These transactions
will post to your Account when the shares are made available
to JPMS by DTC and will be reflected on your statement.

trades.
• Fractional Shares. J.P. Morgan will credit to your Account the
number of shares equal to the amount of your funds to be
reinvested in a particular security divided by the purchase
price per share. If made available for your Account,
participation in the Program may give you interests in
fractional shares of securities, which J.P. Morgan calculates to
five decimal places. You will receive dividend payments
proportionate to your partial share holdings.

reflected on monthly account statements. You will not receive
separate immediate confirmations for Program trades. You

continue to receive confirmations contemporaneously with

Program is not a recommendation by J.P. Morgan to buy, hold
or sell such security. Participation in the Program does not
assure profits on your investments and does not protect
against loss in declining markets.

participation as are most equities, open ended mutual funds,
closed end funds and ETFs. Any exclusions will be identified
at the time you are enrolled.
