Re: Custodial Services Proposal for Franklin Regional Retirement System
Dear Ms. Bobe:
Thank you for inviting Comerica Bank to respond to your RFP for the Franklin Regional
Retirement System. Attached please find our response which includes a fee schedule and
Executive Summary. The Franklin plan is exactly the sort of mid-sized client that Comerica is
dedicated to serving. This means that you would receive our state-of-the-art online technology
and one of the best custody relationship managers in the business, Daniel Berd. Dan’s focus is on
municipal plans like Franklin’s and he looks forward to demonstrating to you how attentive client
service can make your job easier. Finally, our careful attention to costs allows us to provide this
high level of service and technology at an extremely competitive price.
Please note that, in most cases, Comerica provides administrative services for our clients’ entire
plan, including commingled/mutual funds and alternative assets. While mutual funds are not
actually “under custody”, we can provide transaction services and reporting on the funds which
appear as “line items” in our statements. This structure gives clients the ability to look at their
plan in its entirety from a single source. I have included the costs for “line items” in our fee
schedule (but not the calculation) if you wish to include the funds now, or in the future. We are
happy to accommodate any level of service you request.
Kindly also note that Comerica is a world class paying agent – processing 297,000 payments a
month for hundreds of defined benefit plans. If Franklin wishes to utilize these services in the
future, the associated fees are included in our schedule.
Finally, Comerica would be happy produce the annual PERAC report schedules that were
provided by your office. The role of a good custodian is to help your staff be more efficient by
seeking out ways that we can add value. I have included an additional fee for this service in our
fee proposal.
We believe that a good relationship starts with a smooth transition and that begins with the very
first meeting. Dan and I look forward to visiting you at a time of your choosing. Please do not
hesitate to call or email with any questions. We would be honored to become Franklin’s
custodian.
Best regards,
Robey Newsom

success in today’s business environment. They allow organizations to cut costs,
minimize risks and maximize earnings. The solutions we are proposing are tailored to
help clients manage their resources as effectively and efficiently as possible. This
proposal includes information regarding our services and the relationship we look
forward to building with The Franklin Regional Retirement System.
Stability
Comerica has been in business for 160 years. As of March 31, 2010, Comerica
Incorporated reported total assets of $57 billion.
Fast facts on Comerica:
¾ Located in seven of the 11 largest cities
¾ Among the 25 largest U.S. banking companies

reduction in prices for Master Trust/Custody services.
Comerica Bank continues to make investments in technology to provide our clients

internal operations.

Comerica Bank structures its client service around the specific needs of each client.
The knowledgeable and proactive team we are proposing will leverage their extensive
industry experience through a collaborative working relationship and personalized
solutions. Product experts in areas such as benefit payments, charitable service, and
banking are also available to further maximize the benefits of working with Comerica.

service. This proposal describes our products, services and commitment to custody
services. We are confident that Comerica Bank is an ideal partner and will exceed your

COMERICA RESPONSE
History
Comerica Bank (NYSE: CMA) is a publicly held, full-service financial service provider
that was established in 1849 as the Detroit Savings Fund Institute. The corporation became
known as Comerica in 1982 to reflect its expanded presence throughout the United States
and abroad. From that time and throughout our 160 year history, we have provided unique
and innovative financial products and services to individuals and organizations worldwide.
Our focus and enduring client relationships have made Comerica Bank one of the 25
largest banking companies with over $57 billion in assets and 9,200 employees in over 400
offices worldwide.
Evolution of the Custody Department
Comerica Bank first began offering trust services in 1900 through the Detroit Trust
Company. We began offering Master Trust/Master Custody services in 1971. Since that
time, Comerica has continuously invested in this business line as part of the Bank’s overall
strategy to service institutions having multiple portfolios and/or multiple investment
advisors.
Client Service Philosophy – Attentiveness & Responsiveness
Comerica employs a dedicated Client Service Team approach to account administration,
and the team proposed works exclusively for Public Funds. Each relationship manager is
supported by a trust analyst who handles most day-to-day activities. The Client Service
Team is also supported by an active management team, specialists in functional areas, such
as benefit payments, securities lending, etc. as well as the full resources of Comerica’s
Trust Operations Department.
The Client Service Team for every relationship has designated backups from a client
servicing perspective, both at the relationship manager and analyst level. Account profiles
are maintained for every client relationship and are available to all administrative team
members should the need arise. This ensures that our clients will always receive prompt
and effective account servicing.
For your relationship specifically, we propose Dan Berd as the relationship manager, with
Felecia Relief as the assigned back-up relationship manager. Both Dan and Felecia work in
the Municipalities Unit of Client Administration and are seasoned trust professionals who
would share their combined years of experience for your benefit. As relationship manager,
Dan would be the daily contact and responsible for your overall relationship and
satisfaction with our trust services as well as all representation at meetings.
The Client Service Team will also include Patricia Mimms, trust analyst, who would
handle the daily activities within your accounts. Dan, Felecia and Patricia, as well as all
support staff, are all located in our Detroit, Michigan office. They sit within a few feet of
one another and report to the same business line executive. This streamlined and efficient
reporting structure benefits our clients when decisions about additional resources are
needed quickly for special situations, while the close proximity of the members of the

Safekeeping of Assets
Through domestic and global depository relationships, Comerica can assure our clients that
all security transactions and cash movements are executed with the highest degree of
accuracy for both domestic and global securities. Comerica has the technology to support
all asset classes, now and in the future as a client’s portfolio grows.
Reporting
Our dedicated compliance attorneys staffed within the Institutional Trust department
monitor regulatory changes and ensure that we are servicing our account relationships and
providing reporting in compliance with regulations and accounting standards.
Comerica Response to Franklin Regional Retirement System Request for Proposal

Through the Comerica Trust Accounting System (ComTRAC II), we provide daily, fully
accrued, trade-dated investment accounting reports for individual portfolios as well as
consolidated account groups
In addition to the near real-time information available via Comerica’s Custody Online, a
Master Custody client receives a combined transaction and asset statement for each account
each month. The report provides a comprehensive record of their investments and
transactions during the statement period.
The reports generally include the following sections:

period. Statements are available online one to two days after month-end through Custody
Online. We have provided a sample statement guide for your review in Exhibit I.
The majority of the reports that our clients need are available through our Internet product

convenience, free of charge.

The transaction data can be sorted chronologically, by transaction type, by security number
or by security name. Transaction data is also available in a number of date ranges; daily,
monthly, quarterly, annual or specified dates. Asset data can be sorted by security name,
security number, investment category, industry sector, market value, gain/loss, yield, plus
more.
Custody Online provides two different ways to export data. You can either use a screen
'Download’ feature that allows you to customize your reports, or a ‘File download’ tab for
a standard report download option. Reports can be exported for one account or multiple
accounts. Files can be downloaded into Excel, Lotus 123, Comma Delimited, Semi-colon
Delimited, Tab Delimited or Fixed Length file types.
Controls and Reconciliation
We have extensive procedures and controls in place to ensure that:
¾ Purchases and sales are properly documented and recorded completely
¾ Investment income is collected in a timely manner and recorded to the appropriate
accounts
¾ Market values are properly calculated using reputable and accurate pricing sources
¾ Security positions with our depositories are reconciled on an on-going basis
These controls, among others, along with internal review and reconcilement procedures
ensure the accuracy of our periodic reports. Additionally, numerous systematic audit
controls in our trust accounting system ensure that all monthly statements are in balance
before they are generated.
Comerica works proactively with investment management firms across the country and
around the world to reconcile holdings and ensure proper handling of master trust and
custody accounts. Since Comerica’s records would be the “books of record” for the client,
the reconciliation process would see the investment managers reconciling their books to
Comerica’s. Comerica Trust Operations personnel as well as the client service team would
actively assist your investment managers with any issues uncovered in the reconciliation
process.
We provide our clients’ investment managers with near real-time access to online
information, which provides the opportunity for reconcilement on a daily, weekly, and
monthly basis. In addition, we send automated file feeds to many data aggregators who
reconcile our records to the managers. Any discrepancies noted are researched and
resolved as soon as they are discovered. The assigned trust analyst would work with the
investment manager to resolve the issue.
The majority of trade instructions from investment managers are communicated
automatically via the DTC ID System, also known as TradeSuite. Exception trades, such
as “same day” trades are communicated via fax. Also, Comerica Bank has SWIFT trade
message capabilities.
Comerica Response to Franklin Regional Retirement System Request for Proposal

Internally, there is reporting in place to help the Trade Processing Unit prevent the
following situations:
• processing of duplicate trades
• the accidental changing / canceling of trades
• daily reconcilement of our holdings with depositories
All uninvested cash, regardless of processing time, is swept and earns interest on the same
day with Comerica’s end-of-day sweep cash management vehicles.
Tax Reporting
Comerica also provides annual statements which have 5500 schedules to assist our clients’
tax preparers in completing the 5500 returns. Comerica provides consolidated year-end
trust reports that are in the same format as our periodic reports with the exception of the
following additional schedules:
¾ 5500 Schedule H Part I – Asset and Liability Statement
¾ 5500 Schedule H Part II – Income and Expense Schedule
¾ Report of 5% Transactions
¾ Broker Commission Report
Total Quality Management
Comerica is committed to the highest quality financial services. As a result, we combine
on-going key performance measurement reviews and formal and informal client feedback
to monitor team performance and client satisfaction.
Key Performance Measures
Every unit at Comerica develops a series of quality key performance measures (KPMs)
based on the service expectations defined by their clients. KPM’s are monitored
continuously and reported monthly. The primary KPM categories are:
• Timeliness - The time it takes to turn around a product or service to the customer
• Accuracy - Doing it right the first time with zero defects, providing service and products
without mistakes and eliminating rework
• Responsiveness - The readiness to service customers; the willingness to serve customers
promptly and efficiently
Client Feedback
In addition to our key performance measures, we actively solicit feedback from our clients
regarding our performance. Our Client Service Team also monitors customer satisfaction
on a continual basis through direct, frequent communication with each client.
Conversion
Comerica assigns the coordination of the implementation and conversion process to the
Client Service Team assigned to the relationship. While each team member has specific
responsibilities, the proposed Relationship Manager, Dan Berd, would serve as project
leader and daily contact during the conversion.
Comerica Response to Franklin Regional Retirement System Request for Proposal
7
The Client Service Team’s direct involvement in the conversion process allows the
members to gain immediate familiarity with the relationship structure and client
preferences and provides continuity of service after the conversion is complete. Dan would
be responsible for your success from day one and for many years to come.
Conversion Controls
Great care is exercised in the conversion of new relationships to Comerica Bank. Our
dedicated Client Service Team coordinates the transfer of assets from the prior custodian
and builds controls into the conversion timeline to ensure that all tasks are completed as
instructed by the client service team and client.
• Monthly statements are immediately requested of the prior custodian so the Client
Service Team can become familiar with the operation of the relationship. These
statements are required until all accounts are cleared from the prior custodian.
• A list of account assets are also requested of the prior custodian one month before
conversion, 2 days before conversion, on the day of conversion, and subsequent to the
conversion. This ensures that all assets and residual cash transactions are properly
transitioned and recorded on our systems.
• Procedures are also immediately set with the prior custodian regarding all daily activities
of the relationship until all assets have been transitioned to Comerica. The Client Service
Team continually coordinates activities with the prior custodian.
The conversion process immediately begins with a meeting between the Comerica Client
Service Team and the client’s staff to discuss all conversion issues and develop a project
plan. Following the meeting, a detailed conversion schedule is prepared, which outlines
the responsibilities for each step in the conversion including target dates for
accomplishment. Historical data can be loaded once we receive complete pool and donor
account information including all donor balances from the client. We also will require the
prior custodian statements for the same time period, and any subsequent statements until
the prior custodian statements are at a zero balance.
Transitions typically take between 30 to 60 days. However, Comerica will accommodate
any client timeframe. Following is a sample conversion timeline:

Performance Measurement
For over thirty years, Comerica has offered performance measurement and consulting as a
key component of our Institutional Trust custody services. Easy and cost-effective,
Comerica’s dedicated Performance Measurement Team assists clients in monitoring and
evaluating performance of their investment managers.
Our performance measurement services range from the calculation and attribution of
portfolio returns and customized benchmarking to manager universe comparisons. We also
offer services designed to support asset allocation and manager selection decisions.
The following is a summary of the key services provided:
¾ Portfolio performance results on a monthly, quarterly and/or annual basis.
¾ Portfolio performance for both the total portfolios and their component asset segments
(i.e. equities, fixed income). Calculation of time-weighted total and income rates of
return Ability to aggregate performance of individual manager's portfolios to provide
returns for a total pool of assets or any definable subset.
¾ Comparisons to virtually any market index or customized benchmark which provides
an appropriate measure of manager's performance.
¾ Monitoring of compliance of investment policy guidelines or adherence to a specified
style.
¾ Peer group comparisons are used to measure an investment manager’s ability to
outperform managers that invest using similar strategies.
Comerica Response to Franklin Regional Retirement System Request for Proposal

Performance calculations use a time-weighted, Modified Dietz Method to calculate returns
on traditional and marketable securities portfolios. This method weights each cash flow by
the amount of time it is held in the portfolio. For private funds, the reporting system
calculates an internal rate of return using client-specific cash flows to and from a given
partnership. We gather market value, contribution, distribution, income, fee, and accrued
income data from the custodial statements for input to our proprietary performance
reporting system.
Depending on the fund and client preference, information may be provided by the fund
directly, the client or by Comerica as custodian. It is preferred that the information come
directly from an independent third party.
Performance reports are produced and delivered on a quarterly basis. Most reports will be
generated and delivered by the fourth week following the end of the quarter.
We can also generate monthly non-reconciled “Flash Reports” as early as the fifth business
day after month end, although these reports also rely on data provided by custodians.
Monthly “Flash Reports” would include a summary of investment performance and a
schedule of asset allocation. Monthly flash reports also include a monthly performance
column in addition to the standard performance columns.
To ensure the accuracy of our performance, we reconcile our performance to that of the
portfolio manager’s performance. The performance of the portfolio manager is collected
on a quarterly basis through the use of a “Quarterly Compliance Questionnaire” (QCQ).
On this form we ask for performance, market value, cash flows and any other pertinent data
needed to thoroughly reconcile performance. The reconciliation process is completed once
there is a 10 basis point or less difference between the manager’s performance and ours for
the quarter and a 20 basis point difference or less for the trailing twelve months. After
reconciliation, a draft of the performance report is generated to be reviewed for accuracy
before distribution.
The entire process of performance calculation, reconciliation, report production and report
review is documented and utilizes checklists for quality assurance. At each step of the
process, persons responsible for their particular area must sign off before moving the report
to the next step. The report is sent for distribution to the client after the consultant has
reviewed the final draft.
Summary
Comerica Bank’s Institutional Trust Division is focused on plans like yours. Our
commitment to attentive client service and state-of-the-art technology would make us a
great fit for the Franklin Regional Retirement System.

Exhibit II
CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
Institutional Trust Department
This Custodial Account Agreement is between
, (the "Depositor") and Comerica
Bank, a Texas banking association (the "Custodian"). This Agreement shall become effective upon its
execution by both the Depositor and the Custodian.
The Depositor and the Custodian agree:
1.
The Depositor will deposit cash, securities or documents with the Custodian from time to time, and
the Custodian agrees to hold the same and any additions thereto in one or more Custodial
Account(s) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If there is more than one
account, the names of the separate Custodial Account(s) shall be listed in Exhibit A, which may be
amended from time to time and which shall be attached to and be made a part of this Agreement.
References to "Account" herein shall mean all accounts established under this Agreement.
2.
The Custodian will administer the property deposited to this Account in accordance with written
instructions of the Depositor. The investment of such property will be the sole responsibility of the
Depositor, or its agent duly designated in writing (the "Agent"), and the Custodian shall have no
liability for events occurring as a result of such investments.
3.
The Depositor hereby instructs the Custodian to invest accumulated cash in the variety of
short-term funds, including but not limited to savings deposits with the Custodian, which it
customarily uses in custodial accounts, except as hereafter specifically revoked in writing by
the Depositor. Investments in savings deposits will be subject to such banking regulations as may
be in effect from time to time. The Custodian shall not be liable for interest on any cash not so
invested or held by it awaiting investment or distribution instructions from the Depositor.
The Custodian is authorized to employ its automatic cash management procedures for custodial
accounts. Investments may be made in short-term mutual funds. Depositor is hereby notified that,
with respect to these funds:
(a) The funds are sponsored by third parties independent of the Custodian, its subsidiaries, and
affiliates;
(b) The funds are not endorsed or guaranteed by, and do not constitute an obligation of, the
Custodian, its subsidiaries, or affiliates; and
(c) The funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Depositor acknowledges that no person is authorized to make any representations concerning
such mutual funds other than those contained in the current prospectus for such mutual funds or in
such printed information as is issued by the mutual funds for use as information supplemental to the
prospectus. In investing in such mutual funds, the Depositor shall rely solely on the representations
contained in the prospectus and in the above-mentioned supplemental information.
4.
The Custodian will collect all income received from Account assets and distribute or dispose of same
in accordance with the Depositor's instructions. In the absence of instructions, the income shall be
added to principal and reinvested in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
5.
Purchase and sale of Account assets shall be made in accordance with established procedures of
the Custodian.
6.
Withdrawal or payment of assets or cash held by the Custodian hereunder shall be made only upon
the written instructions of Depositor, provided, however, that cash may be transferred between the
-1-
Account and any deposit account maintained by Depositor at the Custodian or remitted by check to
the order of the Depositor upon the telephonic instructions of the Depositor. The Depositor agrees to
indemnify the Custodian and hold it harmless as to any actions reasonably taken to comply with or to
implement any such instructions.
7.
As to any property or securities held pursuant to this Agreement, the Custodian may hold and register
the same in its own name, or in the name of a nominee, or by electronic book entry, provided that the
records of the Custodian shall at all times account for the property belonging to the Account of the
Depositor. All proxies will be forwarded to the Depositor or the Agent for voting.
8.
The Custodian utilizes various standard industry pricing services and brokerage contacts to provide
current pricing information for active publicly traded securities. Assets not publicly traded may reflect
the initial acquisition value or cost and not a current market value. Many fixed income securities are
priced on a matrix system, resulting in a mathematical approximation of price derived by computer.
Although the Custodian attempts to provide accurate pricing, in some instances prices may not reflect
the most accurate pricing readily available or the true value of the asset. The Custodian shall have
no liability for such an occurrence.
9.
The Custodian subscribes to various standard industry notification services pertaining to capital
actions including puts, calls, tenders, mergers, conversions, stock distributions and other activities.
The Custodian agrees to process assets in accordance with Depositor's instructions, provided the
Custodian receives the Depositor's timely written authorization. In no event shall the Custodian be
liable for failure to respond to a capital action if proper notification and authorization has not been
provided to the Custodian by the Depositor within the required time frames as specified in the capital
action notice. The Custodian shall attempt to notify the Depositor if it becomes aware of a voluntary
action or provision which may affect an asset, but shall not be obligated to do so, and under no
circumstances shall the Custodian be liable for failure to provide such notice. Further, the Custodian
shall have no responsibility and no obligation with respect to any asset to take any action which shall
pertain to stock dividends, warrants, rights to subscribe, offers to purchase, exercising of options,
plans of reorganization, plans of exchange of securities, claims or settlements pertaining thereto,
other than that which is directly authorized by the Depositor by written instruction received by the
Custodian within required time frames.
10.
The Custodian shall have no obligation or liability with respect to the receipt, distribution, or reporting
of an event of bond default or a filing of a bankruptcy, and shall have no obligation or liability for the
filing of any related report or claim other than that which is directly authorized by the Depositor by
written instruction received by the Custodian within required time frames.
11.
The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting from the physical presence of any property in
a foreign country including, but not limited to, losses resulting from nationalization, expropriation,
exchange controls or acts of war or terrorism.
12.
The Custodian will keep accurate books and records. The Depositor understands that a rule of the
Federal Reserve Board provides that Depositor has the right to be given or sent by the Custodian,
without additional cost, written notification of a securities transaction effected by the Custodian at or
before completion of the transaction, and to be sent a copy of the confirmation of a broker-dealer
relating to a securities transaction within one (1) business day from the date of Custodian’s receipt of
the confirmation. The rule provides that the Custodian and the Depositor may agree in writing to a
different arrangement. The Depositor hereby agrees with the Custodian that, in lieu of the notification
provided for by the above rule, the Custodian will furnish to the Depositor a statement, at least
quarterly, which will specify the funds and securities in the custody of the Custodian at the end of
such period and debits, credits and transactions in the Account during such period. The statement
-2-
will be considered approved and ratified unless written objection is made to the Custodian within sixty
(60) days from the receipt of the statement. If no written objection is made within sixty (60) days from
receipt, the Custodian will not be liable for any matter contained in the statement, notwithstanding
any statute or rule to the contrary. Securities transactions made directly by the Depositor with a
broker-dealer are not deemed to be securities transactions effected by the Custodian.
13.
Rule 14b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 enables corporations to learn the identity of their
security holders whose securities are held by the Custodian and registered in "nominee" or "street"
name unless the beneficial owner specifically indicates its objection to such disclosure. The
Depositor hereby indicates its objection to disclosure by the Custodian of Depositor's name,
address and security position to all companies whose securities are held in this Account and
are registered in "nominee" or "street" name.
14.
The Custodian is a party to this Agreement solely for the purposes set forth herein, and no obligation
or duty shall be expected or required of it except as expressly stated. Neither the Custodian nor any
of its directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives shall be liable for any action or
omission in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement except for gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
15.
The Custodian shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services pursuant to its schedule
of fees, as it now exists or as it may be revised from time to time, and to reimbursement for any
expenses reasonably incurred in the administration of this Agreement. Such fees and charges shall
constitute a lien on the Account property. The Depositor shall be entitled to notice of any change in
the Custodian's fee schedule.
16.
The Custodian shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal proceedings involving the
assets of the Depositor or any property or interest in property held hereunder, or to take any other
action unless it shall be first indemnified to its satisfaction in respect to such proposed action. The
Custodian shall notify the Depositor of any class action involving a security held in the Account of
which the Custodian receives notice. If the Custodian, nonetheless, determines that it should take
any action in connection with any legal proceeding including, without limitation, engaging legal
counsel, the Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless for all costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the Custodian in
connection with any legal proceeding involving the assets of the Depositor or any property or interest
in property held under this Agreement.
17.
The Depositor may revoke this Agreement or withdraw all or any part of the property deposited with
the Custodian by written direction delivered to the Custodian. Revocation or withdrawal of property
will be subject to payment of all fees and charges. The Custodian shall have a reasonable time
within which to complete its duties and responsibilities hereunder and deliver the Account property to
the Depositor and shall be entitled to compensation pursuant to its account closing procedures. The
Custodian may revoke this Agreement upon giving like notice.
18
The Depositor shall certify to the Custodian the names of one or more of its officers or employees
who are authorized to give instructions to the Custodian and/or to otherwise act on its behalf, or to
designate any other party to give instructions to the Custodian and/or to otherwise act on its behalf.
Upon request by the Custodian, the Depositor shall also provided specimen signatures for its
authorized signers. The Custodian is entitled to rely on such certification until it is amended or
revoked by the Depositor.
19.
The Depositor represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and that the execution, delivery, and
-3-
performance of this Agreement are within the Depositor's powers and do not require the consent or

BENEFIT PAYMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
for the
[Plan Name]
This Benefit Payment Services Agreement (“Agreement”) describes the services that Comerica Bank
(“Comerica”) agrees to provide to __________________________ (“Sponsor”) with respect to the
employee benefit plan named above (“Plan”). The Sponsor agrees to compensate Comerica for these
services according to the Fee Schedule provided by Comerica, as revised from time to time, and agrees to
pay each invoice within thirty days of receipt. Comerica’s waiver of any fee or provision of this Agreement
on any occasion or for any period of time does not constitute a waiver of such fee or provision, or any other
fee or provision, at any other time or for any other period. This Agreement outlines the responsibilities and
obligations of both Comerica and the Sponsor with respect to specific services provided to the Plan. Either
party may delegate some or all of its duties under this Agreement; however, the Sponsor or Comerica shall
remain responsible for the performance of any third party to whom they delegate duties under this
Agreement.
The adoption and operation of a retirement plan is an important legal undertaking. Comerica does
not practice law and does not provide legal or tax advice. The Sponsor is responsible for obtaining qualified
legal and tax counsel for advice on the plan design and final plan provisions appropriate for the Sponsor’s
situation as well as on legal and tax issues arising out of the operation of the Plan. The Sponsor is
responsible for monitoring the qualification requirements of any tax-qualified retirement plan and for
administering any plan adopted by the Sponsor. In the event the Plan is not administered in accordance with
its terms and applicable legal requirements, the Sponsor is responsible for determining the appropriate
correction and directing Comerica as to its role, if any, in such correction. Comerica may consult with the
Sponsor, if requested, on the appropriate correction, but has no authority or obligation to decide upon the
method(s) to be used in such correction.
Comerica will rely completely on the information provided by the Sponsor or any third party retained by
the Sponsor for ongoing operation of the Plan as well as the Plan set-up. Comerica is under no obligation to
seek out or verify the accuracy of information provided by the Sponsor. Comerica is not responsible for
penalties, taxes, or other losses resulting from faulty or inaccurate information provided by the Sponsor.
Comerica reserves the right to refuse to provide services at any time if Comerica determines it cannot
provide services for the Plan upon review of materials, information or data supplied by the Sponsor.
Comerica is not acting as a Plan fiduciary in providing services under this Agreement. The Agreement
does not give Comerica any discretionary authority in the management and administration of the Plan.
Comerica shall carry out its duties under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the
directions of the Sponsor.
A.
PLAN DOCUMENT
The Sponsor has provided Comerica with all Plan documents. The Sponsor is responsible for seeking
appropriate legal advice and determining whether the Plan should be submitted to the IRS for a favorable
determination letter on the Plan’s qualified status. If the Plan will invest in any Comerica collective
investment fund(s), a current determination letter or its equivalent must be obtained and provided to
Comerica. In addition, the Plan or trust agreement must explicitly authorize any such collective fund
investment. The Sponsor agrees to take all necessary actions to update and amend the Plan as necessary and
to maintain the Plan’s tax-qualified status.
Page 1 of 4
B.
PRIOR PLANS AND MULTIPLE PLANS
Comerica is not responsible for losses resulting from the prior administration of the Plan, or for any losses
incurred as a result of actions or decisions which were undertaken or made by any party prior to the effective
date of Comerica’s engagement. Comerica is under no obligation to review prior administrative work or tax
filings. Where Comerica is retained to provide services midyear, it shall not verify the accuracy or
correctness of work performed in the prior portion of the year. The Sponsor holds Comerica completely
harmless for any consequences which are the result of work performed prior to the effective date of
Comerica’s engagement. If the Sponsor maintains more than one plan, the Sponsor acknowledges that it,
and not Comerica, is responsible for monitoring the aggregated coverage and discrimination testing,
maximum benefit and contribution limitations for its plans.
C.
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to take the appropriate action to cease benefit accruals and/or properly
terminate the Plan. If Comerica serves as trustee, Comerica may require an IRS determination letter upon
termination before distributing the assets of the Plan. Comerica does not prepare IRS determination letter
filings.
D.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES
The Sponsor agrees to provide Comerica with such information in a timely manner, in such form as required
by Comerica, as is necessary to perform the services under this Agreement, including all necessary
information held by third parties. Comerica is not responsible for the performance of the services under this
Agreement unless and until such information is provided.
The Sponsor agrees to review all forms, reports or documents and to notify Comerica of any errors within
sixty days of receipt.
Comerica is entitled to charge additional fees for any additional services requested by the Sponsor and for
any revisions or corrections to reports, forms, discrimination tests and documents resulting from (1)
inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information supplied by the Sponsor, (2) errors not reported in a timely
manner, (3) payments of contributions or reimbursement of fees and expenses after allocations for a period
are complete, or (4) retroactive amendment of the Plan.
The attached Appendix A lists the duties and responsibilities of the Sponsor and Comerica with respect to
the specific services provided under this Agreement.
E.
CONTROLLED GROUP
The Sponsor shall notify Comerica if it is or becomes part of a controlled group of corporations, a group of
trades or businesses under common control or an affiliated service group (“controlled group”) under
§414(b), (c), or (m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Comerica is under no obligation to seek out this
information or verify the Sponsor’s status as regards this issue. Comerica shall in no event be liable for any
fines, penalties, or taxes which may result from a Sponsor being part of, or not being part of, a controlled
group.
The Sponsor is responsible for retaining qualified tax and employee benefits counsel to determine if it is part
of a controlled group and the impact this status may have on the administration of the Plan. Generally, all
employees of a controlled group must be considered for coverage, participation, and contribution limitations
for any plan of the group. If the Sponsor becomes part of a controlled group after the effective date of this
Agreement, the Sponsor must notify Comerica in writing of this fact immediately.
Page 2 of 4
F.
DATA RETENTION
Comerica and the Sponsor shall each maintain Plan information in accordance with their respective data
retention policies and applicable law.
G.
FLOAT
Comerica uses a general disbursement checking account to process lump sum and periodic distributions.
This is a non-interest bearing account from which Comerica may receive float. Float is earned at the Fed
Funds rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal or on the Federal Reserve web site.
Comerica may begin earning float once the funds for the distribution(s) are transferred from the trust
account to the general disbursement checking account. For periodic distributions, the transfer typically
takes place on the first business day of the month. For lump sum distributions, the transfer typically occurs
on the day the check is issued.
Comerica continues to receive float until a check is presented for payment or the funds are disposed of
pursuant to the unclaimed funds procedure. Distributions paid by direct deposit do not generate float, and
provide improved funds availability for recipients.
Generally, Comerica does not receive float on funds received pending investment instructions.
Exceptions to the procedures described above may apply.
H.
MODIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement may by modified or amended only by a writing signed by both the Sponsor and Comerica.
Each party reserves the right to submit any proposed changes to this Agreement to its counsel for review
prior to committing to the proposed changes.
I.
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
The Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party upon sixty days’ advance written notice of
termination provided to the other party. As soon as administratively feasible after payment of all fees and
expenses incurred to the date of termination or transfer of assets, whichever is later, Comerica will deliver
Plan records and documents in its standard format to the Sponsor or other party designated by the Sponsor
and will be entitled to compensation by the Sponsor for the actual costs incurred in transferring such records
and documents. Additional services or custom reporting requested and/or performed after that date will be
charged at Comerica’s standard hourly rate.
J.
ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the written consent of the other party and is
binding upon Comerica, the Sponsor and their successors in interest.

our then current charge, a written confirmation of your executed
Payment Order.

applicable fees, even if the debit creates or increases an overdraft
position or causes a draw on your line of credit. Unless we otherwise
agree in writing, we have no duty to (i) effect a Payment Order if you do
not have sufficient available funds or line of credit in the Designated
Account to cover the Payment Order and all applicable fees at the time
the Payment Order is received and at the time we are ready to execute
the Payment Order or (ii) lend money, extend credit or otherwise
advance funds to cover the amount of the Payment Order and/or fees.
