   For the fee components having basis amount as UTILIZED or UNUTILIZED,if there is a change in UTILIZED or UNUTILIZED amount due to Value dated amendment (VAMI), creation or liquidation of Drawdowns, then the unpaid schedules are recalculated and reflected in the future fee schedules. The recalculation for the unpaid fee schedules happens during the VAMI, If the change in basis amount happens during the fee calculation period of the Advance fee component's latest paid schedule, then the recalculation happens during the EOD on the date of amendment, and the calculated amount for that schedule is the sum of the calculated amount before amendment and after amendment.To make an amendment, you have to unlock the contract. To do this, click the Unlock option from the menu.

   Note:

   • You cannot amend the details of a component with status as Liquidated.
   • For existing fee components you cannot change the fee basis as part of amendment. However, you can specify the fee basis for new components.
