Delegated Identity Theft Prevention Duties. Terms in quotation marks in this Section shall have the meaning such terms are assigned in the Identity Theft Red Flag Rules under 16 CFR §681.2 issued by the Federal Trade Commission in November 2007, and replaced by 17 CFR Part 248 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2013 (in each case pursuant to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the “FACT Act”)), as may be amended from time to time, and the implementing regulations (collectively, the “Rules”). In general, the term “Delegated Identity Theft Prevention Duties” encompasses the functions necessary to fulfill obligations that are imposed upon the Trust and the Fund by the Rules and that relate to information maintained or transactions processed by the Transfer Agent (collectively, the “Identity Theft Prevention Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, the Delegated Identity Theft Prevention Duties shall not include any identity theft prevention function related to an obligation of the Trust that is performed by any entity that is neither directly nor indirectly owned by FMR LLC (an “Unaffiliated Intermediary”) pursuant to a provision of a Selling Dealer Agreement, Bank Agency Agreement, or any other agreement between Fidelity Distributors Company LLC or any other entity directly or indirectly owned by FMR LLC and the Unaffiliated Intermediary. Where applicable, the Trust has appointed FIIOC to implement its written IDTPP, which is reasonably designed to comply with the Rules. The IDTPP includes the Delegated Identity Theft Prevention Duties and reflects the Fund’s practices for detecting, preventing and mitigating identity theft for covered accounts. Where applicable the Fund shall exercise appropriate oversight of FIIOC’s IDTPP activities through the Fund’s Program Officer (as that is defined in the IDTPP) or his/her delegates.
