WHEREAS, the Trust and Acquiring Fund(s) desire to amend the Agreement and Schedule B of the Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Except as specifically set forth herein, defined terms used herein shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Agreement.
2.Amendment to Schedule B. Schedule B to the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced by Schedule B as attached to this Amendment (which will be updated on a quarterly basis).

4.Amendment to Agreement. The following replaces Section 1(a)(i)(B)(III) of the Agreement:
The Acquiring Fund will use reasonable efforts to spread large redemption requests over multiple days or to provide advance notification of redemption requests to the Acquired Fund(s) whenever practicable and consistent with the Acquiring Fund’s best Interests. In addition, for Acquired Fund(s) noted with an asterisk on Schedule B, the Acquiring Fund will provide advance notification of at least 2 business days of any redemptions requests greater than 10% of such Acquired Fund(s)’ outstanding shares.
