B. Exemption. <br />J.P. Morgan recognizes that the City is an "exempt person" under the currency <br />transaction reporting regulations, given the City's status as a political subdivision of a <br />State, and, as a result, the Bank is not required to file currency transaction reports in <br />connection with the City's currency transactions and no exemption designations are <br />required under such regulations for such political subdivisions (31 CFR 1020.315 (a), (b) <br />(2), and (c) (2)). <br />C. Interest Earnings. <br />Bank must be able to provide interest earnings on the Cash Balance in excess of <br />required compensation balances. Please provide options for excess balances. As part <br />of the proposal, the bank shall provide the proposed formula to calculate interest <br />earnings. Ali interest earnings shall be credited to the Operating Account. <br />In today's current rate environment, the City may consider using our Hybrid Demand <br />Deposit account for excess cash balances. <br />The Hybrid Demand Deposit account provides a combination of an earnings credit <br />allowance on non - interest bearing balances to offset banking service fees and an interest <br />rate on balances over a predefined target threshold. Interest accrues daily and is paid <br />monthly. <br />How It Works: Balances up to a predetermined threshold ( "the peg balance ") earn an <br />earnings credit allowance at our enhanced managed earnings credit rate (currently <br />0.60%) to offset bank service fees. Please see Section V. B. 2. below for additional <br />information on the bank's ECR. Excess balances above the threshold earn hard dollar <br />interest at a proposed managed rate of 0.31% gross /o.189% net of PAF *. The interest rate <br />paid on excess balances above the peg may fluctuate during the contract period as <br />market conditions warrant. Interest accrues daily and is paid on the last business day of <br />the month. The peg balance may be changed at any time prior to the next billing cycle <br />(and will be applied on a go forward basis) to adjust for unplanned changes in <br />transaction fees (e.g. significant volume changes, service additions /deletions, to <br />compensate for periods in which minimum balance levels fall below the peg balance <br />amount). Your relationship team will work with you to determine the appropriate peg <br />balance, which is subject to the mutual agreement of the bank and City. <br />*Please note that all balances held in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDAs), including <br />Hybrid DDA's that exclusively receive ECR, are subject to the firm's Premium <br />Assessment Fee (PAF). The PAF is a monthly administrative fee assessed to address <br />various regulatory and other charges affecting J.P. Morgan. The current Premium <br />Assessment Fee is 0.13%. <br />Page 35 JYMorgan <br />
