Trust Duties, Representations and Covenants in Connection with the Services The provision of the Services to each Trust by State Street is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The parties acknowledge and agree on the following matters: The Services depend, directly or indirectly, on: (i) Required Data and (ii) information concerning each Trust or its affiliates or any Fund, pooled vehicle, security or other investment or portfolio regarding which each Trust or its affiliates provide services or is otherwise associated (“Trust Entities”) that is generated or aggregated by State Street or its affiliates in connection with services performed on each Trust’s behalf or otherwise prepared by State Street (“State Street Data,” together with Required Data and Third Party Data (as defined below), “Services-Related Data”). State Street’s obligations, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to any State Street Data used in connection with other services received by each Trust shall be as provided in such respective other agreements between State Street or its affiliates and each Trust relating to such other services (e.g., administration and/or custody services, etc.) from which the State Street Data is derived or sourced (“Other Trust Agreements”). Nothing in this Agreement or any service schedule(s) shall limit or modify State Street’s or its affiliates’ obligations to each Trust under the Other Trust Agreements. In connection with the provision of the Services by State Street, each Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for providing State Street with any information requested by State Street, including, but not limited to, the following:
(A) Arranging for the regular provision of all Required Data (including State Street Data, where applicable) and related information to State Street, in formats compatible with Administrator-provided data templates including, without limitation, Required Data and the information and assumptions required by State Street in connection with a Trust reporting profile and onboarding checklist, as it, or the information or assumptions required, may be revised at any time by State Street, in its discretion (collectively, the “Onboarding Checklist”) and such other forms and templates as may be used by State Street for such purposes from time to time, for all Trusts and/or Funds receiving services under this Agreement, including but not limited to those to be reported on Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN (as determined by each Trust), including, without limitation, arranging for the provision of data from each Trust, its affiliates, third party administrators, prime brokers, custodians, and other relevant parties. If and to the extent that Required Data is already accessible to State Street (or any of its affiliates) in its capacity as administrator to one or more Trusts, State Street and each Trust will agree on the scope of the information to be extracted from State Street’s or any of its affiliate’s systems for purposes of State Street’s provision of the Services, subject to the discretion of State Street, and State Street is hereby expressly authorized to use any such information as necessary in connection with providing the Services hereunder; and
(B) Providing all required information and assumptions not otherwise included in Trust data and assumptions provided pursuant to Section 1(A) above, including but not limited to the Required Data, as may be required in order for State Street to provide the Services. The following are examples of certain types of information that each Trust is likely to be required to provide pursuant to Sections 1(A) and 1(B) above, and each Trust hereby acknowledges and understands that the following categories of information are merely illustrative examples, are by no means an exhaustive list of all such required information, and are subject to change as a result of any amendments to Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN: · SEC filing classification of each Trust (i.e., small or large filer); · Identification of any data sourced from third parties; and · Identification of any securities reported as Miscellaneous.
2. Each Trust acknowledges that it has provided to State Street all material assumptions used by each Trust or that are expected to be used by each Trust in connection with the completion of the Services, and that it has approved all material assumptions used by State Street in the provision of the Services prior to the first use of the Services. Each Trust will also be responsible for promptly notifying State Street of any changes in any such material assumptions previously notified to State Street by each Trust or otherwise previously approved by each Trust in connection with State Street’s provision of the Services. Each Trust acknowledges that the completion of the Services, and the data required thereby, requires the use of material assumptions in connection with many different categories of information and data, and the use and/or reporting thereof, including, but not limited to the following: · Investment classification of positions; · Assumptions necessary in converting data extracts; · General operational and process assumptions used by State Street in performing the Services; and · Assumptions specific to each Trust. Each Trust hereby acknowledges and understands that the foregoing categories of information that may involve the use of material assumptions are merely illustrative examples of certain subject matter areas in relation to which each Trust (and/or State Street on its behalf in connection with the Services) may rely on various material assumptions, and are by no means an exhaustive list of all such subject matter areas.
3. Each Trust acknowledges and agrees on the following matters:
(A) Each Trust has independently reviewed the Services (including, without limitation, the assumptions, market data, securities prices, securities valuations, tests and calculations used in the Services), and each Trust has determined that the Services are suitable for its purposes. None of State Street or its affiliates, nor their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or service providers (collectively, including State Street, “State Street Parties”) make any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Services or otherwise.
(B) Each Trust assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it. State Street is not providing, and the Services do not constitute, legal, tax, investment, or regulatory advice, or accounting or auditing services advice. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties to this Agreement, the Services are of general application and State Street is not providing any customization, guidance, or recommendations. Where each Trust uses Services to comply with any law, regulation, agreement, or other Trust obligation, State Street makes no representation that any Service complies with such law, regulation, agreement, or other obligation, and State Street has no obligation of compliance with respect thereto.
(C) Each Trust may use the Services and any reports, charts, graphs, data, analyses and other results generated by State Street in connection with the Services and provided by State Street to each Trust (“Materials”) (a) for the internal business purpose of each Trust relating to the applicable Service or (b) for submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as required, of a Form N-PORT template and a Form N-CEN update. Each Trust may also redistribute the Materials, or an excerpted portion thereof, to its investment managers, investment advisers, agents, clients, investors or participants, as applicable, that have a reasonable interest in the Materials in connection with their relationship with each Trust (each a “Permitted Person”); provided, however, (i) each Trust may not charge a fee, profit, or otherwise benefit from the redistribution of Materials to Permitted Persons, (ii) data provided by third party sources such as but not limited to market or index data (“Third Party Data”) contained in the Materials may not be redistributed other than Third Party Data that is embedded in the calculations presented in the Materials and not otherwise identifiable as Third Party Data, except to the extent each Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data, or (iii) each Trust may not use the Services or Materials in any way to compete or enable any third party to compete with State Street. No Permitted Person shall have any further rights of use or redistribution with respect to, or any ownership rights in, the Materials or any excerpted portion thereof. Except as expressly provided in this Section 3(C), each Trust, any of its affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, investment managers, investment advisers, agents or any other third party, including any client of, or investor or participant in each Trust or any Permitted Persons (collectively, including each Trust, “Trust Parties”), may not directly or indirectly, sell, rent, lease, license or sublicense, transmit, transfer, distribute or redistribute, disclose display, or provide, or otherwise make available or permit access to, all or any part of the Services or the Materials (including any State Street Data or Third Party Data contained therein, except with respect to Third Party Data to the extent each Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data). Without limitation, Trust Parties shall not themselves nor permit any other person to in whole or in part (i) modify, enhance, create derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile, decompose or disassemble the Services or the Materials; (ii) make copies of the Services, the Materials or portions thereof; (iii) secure any source code used in the Services, or attempt to use any portions of the Services in any form other than machine readable object code; (iv) commercially exploit or otherwise use the Services or the Materials for the benefit of any third party in a service bureau or software-as-a-service environment (or similar structure), or otherwise use the Services or the Materials to perform services for any third party, including for, to, or with consultants and independent contractors; or (v) attempt any of the foregoing or otherwise use the Services or the Materials for any purpose other than as expressly authorized under this Agreement.
(D) Each Trust shall limit the access and use of the Services and the Materials by any Trust Parties to a need-to-know basis and, in connection with its obligations under this Agreement, each Trust shall be responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of any Trust Parties.
(E) The Services, the Materials and all confidential information of State Street (as confidential information is defined in the Agreement and other than Third Party Data and Required Data), are the sole property of State Street. Each Trust has no rights or interests with respect to all or any part of the Services, the Materials or State Street’s confidential information, other than its use and redistribution rights expressly set forth in Section 3(C) herein. Each Trust automatically and irrevocably assigns to State Street any right, title or interest that it has, or may be deemed to have, in the Services, the Materials or State Street’s confidential information, including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any Trust Party feedback, ideas, concepts, comments, suggestions, techniques or know-how shared with State Street (collectively, “Feedback”) and the State Street Parties shall be entitled to incorporate any Feedback in the Services or the Materials or to otherwise use such Feedback for its own commercial benefit without obligation to compensate each Trust.
(F) State Street may rely on Services-Related Data used in connection with the Services without independent verification. Services-Related Data used in the Services may not be available or may contain errors, and the Services may not be complete or accurate as a result.
