Agreements with Intermediaries The Fund authorizes Price Services to enter into agreements with Intermediaries, which maintain and service Indirect Accounts, to carry out the following: · Orders. Process the purchase, sale, exchange and transfer of Fund shares by shareholders (including Retirement Accounts) and transmit and settle such orders to Price Services in accordance with procedures established by such agreement. Receipt of orders by the Intermediary by the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on a day when the NYSE is open (or such other time as determined by the Fund) shall be deemed receipt by the Fund for that day’s net asset value to the extent permitted by Rule 22c-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“’40 Act”) and the agreement between Price Services and the Intermediary. · To comply with Rule 22c-2 of the ’40 Act. Enter into agreements, on behalf of the Fund, with Intermediaries who hold shares in omnibus accounts for purposes of compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the ’40 Act (“Shareholder Information Agreements”) unless such intermediary enforces the Funds’ excessive trading policy or an acceptable alternative policy or has accounts that are otherwise exempt from the policy. Price Services, or its agent, shall monitor the omnibus accounts for certain trading activity in accordance with the Fund’s excessive trading procedures and when certain activity is identified, pursuant to the Shareholder Information Agreement, Price Services, or its agent, shall request from the Intermediary Indirect Account personal and transaction data. Alternatively, Price Services, or its agent, will request and receive regular periodic reporting from Intermediaries of Indirect Account personal and transaction data. Once received, Price Services, or its agent, will review the data to determine if the Fund’s excessive trading policy has been violated. Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Information Agreement, if Price Services, or its agent, determines that the Fund’s policy has been violated, Price Services, or its agents, shall instruct the Intermediary to restrict or prohibit future purchases of Fund shares by Indirect Account holders (or warn these Indirect Account holders when appropriate) identified by Price Services or its agent as having violated the policy. · Fee Payments. The Funds have instituted a program whereby they may, in their discretion, pay an Intermediary or a Plan a fee to compensate the third party providing certain services to Indirect Accounts in accordance with the Funds’ Administrative Fee Payment (“AFP”) Program or 12b-1 Plan (collectively “Fee Payments”). Each Fund authorizes Price Services or its affiliate to enter into, on its behalf, agreements with such Intermediaries for payment of AFP in consideration of such Intermediary’s performance of services to the Indirect Accounts pursuant to the Fund’s AFP Program. Any payments owed under Fee Payment agreements shall be the obligation of the applicable Fund, not Price Services or its affiliates. Price Services or its agent shall also act as paying agent for such Fee Payments.
Agreements with Other Service Providers Each Fund hereby appoints FSSC as the Fund’s agent to enter into agreements with financial intermediaries that are not registered as broker/dealers under the 1934 Act (each an “Unregistered Intermediary”) to provide Services to their customers that are Shareholders of the Fund. Each Fund agrees to pay Service Fees at an annual rate as set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement of up to 0.25% of the average net assets held in Fund accounts for which an Unregistered Intermediary has agreed to provide Services. Any such accounts shall not be treated as FSSC Accounts for purposes of this Agreement.
