Books of Account The Accounting Agent shall maintain the books of account of the Trust and shall perform the following duties in the manner prescribed by the respective Trust’s currently effective prospectus, statement of additional information or other governing document, copies of which have been certified by the Secretary of the Funds and supplied to the Accounting Agent (a “Governing Document”) (including the procedures established in the Service Level Agreement):
a. Value the assets of each Portfolio using: primarily, market quotations (including the use of matrix pricing) supplied by the independent pricing services selected by the Accounting Agent in consultation with the Trust’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and approved by the Board; secondarily, if a designated pricing service does not provide a price for a security that the Accounting Agent believes should be available by market quotation, the Accounting Agent may obtain a price by calling brokers designated by the Adviser, or if the Adviser does not supply the names of such brokers, the Accounting Agent will attempt on its own to find brokers to price the security, subject to approval by the Adviser; thirdly, for securities for which no market price is available, the Valuation Committee overseen by the Board (the “Committee”) will determine a fair value in good faith; or fourthly, such other procedures as may be adopted by the Board. Consistent with Rule 2a-4 under the 1940 Act, estimates may be used where necessary or appropriate. The Accounting Agent is not the guarantor of the accuracy of the securities prices received from such pricing agents and the Accounting Agent is not liable to the Trust for errors in valuing a Portfolio’s assets or calculating the net asset value (the “NAV”) per share of such Portfolio or class when the calculations are based upon inaccurate prices provided by pricing agents. The Accounting Agent will provide daily to the Adviser the security prices used in calculating the NAV of each Portfolio, for its use in preparing exception reports for those prices on which the Adviser has a comment. Further, upon receipt of the exception reports generated by the Adviser, the Accounting Agent will diligently pursue communication regarding exception reports with the designated pricing agents;
b. Determine the NAV per share of each Portfolio and/or class, at the time and in the manner from time to time determined by the Board and as set forth in the Prospectus of such Portfolio;

d. Monitor the triggers used to determine when the ITG fair value pricing procedures may be invoked, as further detailed on attached Exhibit C (the Fair Value Pricing Authorization), and inform the appropriate Federated personnel that triggers had been met. See First Amendment, dated 3/1/11, effective 3/25/11

j. At the request of the Trust, prepare various reports or other financial documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as required by federal, state and other applicable laws and regulations; and
k. Such other similar services as may be reasonably requested by the Trust. The Trust shall provide timely prior notice to the Accounting Agent of any modification in the manner in which such calculations are to be performed as prescribed in any revision to the Trust’s Governing Document. The Accounting Agent shall not be responsible for any revisions to the manner in which such calculations are to be performed unless such revisions are communicated in writing to the Accounting Agent.
