The Trust shall have the option to participate with State Street in the defense of such claim or to defend against such claim in its own name or in the name of State Street. State Street shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Trust may be required to indemnify State Street except with the Trust’s prior written consent.

Exhibit A
Procedures
State Street agrees to perform the duties set forth below with respect to the ownership or attempted ownership of shares in the series of the Trust set forth on Exhibit B, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
I. Requests for New Account.
Upon receipt of an application to open an Account (as defined in Part V Below), State Street shall determine whether the application includes such information as State Street deems necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to form a reasonable opinion that it knows the true identity of such applicant and open the Account. For an application to open an Account for a U.S. Person (as defined in Part V below), such information shall include either: (a) each Customer’s (as defined in Part V below) (1) name, (2) date of birth (for individuals only); (3) address (for an individual, a residential or business street address or, if none, an Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office box number or the residential or business street address of next of kin or of another contact individual; for a person other than an individual (e.g., corporation, partnership or trust), a principal place of business, local office or other physical location); and (4) Taxpayer Identification Number (as defined in Part V below) or reasonable evidence that such person has submitted an application for a Taxpayer Identification Number, provided that State Street is able to confirm with reasonable certainty that such application was filed prior to opening the Account and it receives assurances from the Customer or the Trust that the Taxpayer Identification Number will be provided within a reasonable period of time after the Account is opened; or (b) a certification from the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. to the successful verification of the Customer’s identity in accordance with the Trust’s CIP and the manner in which the Customer’s identity was verified, as well as a copy of any documentary evidence used in connection with such verification. For an application to establish an Account for a Non-U.S. Person (as defined in Part V below), such information shall include a certification from the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. as to the successful verification of the Customer’s identity in accordance with the Trust’s CIP and the manner in which the Customer’s identity was verified, as well as copies of any documentary evidence used in connection with such verification. Upon receipt of a certification and a copy of documentary evidence from the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. pursuant to clause (b) of this paragraph, State Street may establish an Account and deem the Customer’s identity verified without further inquiry or verification.
If State Street determines that the application does not include such information as it deems necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the Customer, it shall not open the Account and, within one business day of receipt of the application: (a) if State Street received the application directly from the Customer, it shall by facsimile or overnight courier request the necessary information from the Customer, with a copy of such request to the Trust c/o Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., and notify the Customer in the request that unless the information is provided within five business days of the request State Street will thereafter return the application as incomplete and return any funds earmarked for deposit in such Account to the
A-1
Customer; or (b) if State Street received the application from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., it shall request the information from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. and notify Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. in the request that unless the information is provided within five business days of the request State Street will thereafter return the application as incomplete and return any funds earmarked for deposit in such Account to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. If the Customer or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., as applicable, does not provide the necessary information within five business days of State Street’s request or sooner notifies State Street that it will not provide the necessary information, State Street shall thereafter promptly return the application as incomplete, return any funds earmarked for deposit in such Account to the Customer or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., as applicable, and notify the Trust c/o Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. of such action.
The trade date for the purchase of shares on a new Account shall not be prior to the date on which State Street deems the application in good order and complete as to Customer information.
II. Identity Verification
Upon opening a new Account State Street will verify the identity of the Customer using the information supplied on the application.
State Street shall deem the Customer’s identity verified if: (a) the information relating to the Customer on the application matches (i) information obtained from a consumer reporting agency, public database or other source reasonably deemed appropriate by State Street, or (ii) documentary evidence reasonably deemed appropriate by State Street; or (b) the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. certifies to the successful verification of the Customer’s identity in accordance with the Trust’s CIP, the manner in which the Customer’s identity was verified and provides copies of any documentary evidence used in connection with such verification. Examples of acceptable documentary evidence include, for an individual, unexpired government-issued identification evidencing nationality or residence and bearing a photograph or similar safeguard, such as a driver’s license or a passport; and for an entity, documents showing the existence of the entity, such as certified articles of incorporation, a government-issued business license, a partnership agreement or trust instrument. Upon receipt of a certification and a copy of documentary evidence from the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. pursuant to clause (b) of this paragraph, State Street may establish an Account and deem the Customer’s identity verified without further inquiry or verification.
In cases where State Street is unable to verify the identity of a Customer as described above, State Street and the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. shall cooperate to verify the identity of such Customer. If, after such cooperation, State Street still cannot verify the identity of such Customer, State Street shall promptly close the Account.
State Street acknowledges that, in the case of certain new Accounts opened by Customers who are not individuals, there may be cases where the foregoing verification methods standing alone will not allow State Street to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the Customer (e.g., an Account opened in the name of a corporation, partnership or trust that is created or conducts substantial business in a jurisdiction that has been designated by the United States as a primary money laundering concern). In such cases State Street and the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. shall cooperate to obtain and verify identification information regarding the
A-2
individuals with authority or control over such Account (including persons authorized to effect transactions in the Account) and each beneficiary of such Account, and to compare the names of such persons against the lists set forth on Exhibit C. If, after such cooperation, State Street still cannot verify the identity of any individual with authority or control over such Account or any beneficiary of the Account, State Street and the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. shall agree on any action to be taken with respect to such individual, beneficiary or the Account; provided, however, that if no agreement can be reached State Street may take such action as it deems reasonably necessary with respect to such individual, beneficiary or Account, including refusing to add such individual or beneficiary to the Account or closing the Account.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, State Street shall redeem any shares in a closed Account at the closing net asset value of the shares on the prior business day to the day on which the Account is closed and shall forward the proceeds to the Customer.
State Street shall make and retain for not less than five years after the Customer’s Account is closed a copy of all information obtained pursuant to Part I of these Procedures with respect to such Account. State Street shall also maintain for not less than five years after the record is made, a copy of any document and a description of any non-documentary method relied upon pursuant to Part II of these Procedures including a description of the resolution of any substantive discrepancy discovered when verifying any identifying information obtained pursuant to Part I of these Procedures, and the results of any measures undertaken to verify the identity of the Customer.
III. Comparison Against Lists Set Forth on Exhibit C
New Accounts
Upon opening a new Account State Street will compare the name of each Customer and each authorized signer and beneficiary of the Account against the lists set forth on Exhibit C to determine whether such Customer, authorized signer or beneficiary appears on any such list. The Trust shall notify State Street if it identifies any other lists issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control or other federal regulatory authority which the Trust believes should be included on Exhibit C; in which case State Street shall consider amending Exhibit C to include such lists if in State Street’s opinion it is a list applicable to the Trust and one that is appropriate for State Street to incorporate into the Procedures. An amendment to Exhibit C shall be made in a writing and signed by both parties.
Existing Accounts
Each month, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, State Street shall compare the name of each Customer, authorized signer and beneficiary against the lists set forth on Exhibit C to determine whether such Customer, authorized signer or beneficiary appears on any such list.
Compliance
State Street shall comply with any information request issued by FinCEN pursuant to Section 314(a) of the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, as currently in effect, by notifying the Trust of any match to be reported. The Trust shall notify State Street of any amendments to
A-3
Section 314(a) or the regulations thereunder or any other federal directive applicable to the Trust which it believes is issued in connection with one or more of the lists set forth on Exhibit C; in which case if, upon receipt of such notice State Street, in its reasonable opinion, believes such amendment or directive is issued in connection with any list set forth in Exhibit C, State Street shall cooperate and assist the Trust in complying with such amendment or directive.
Nothing in these Procedures shall require a party to file a 314(a) report or other similar report on behalf of the other party. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Agreement or these Procedures, if in the Trust’s reasonable opinion State Street’s cooperation and assistance in complying with any such federal directives is inadequate, the Trust may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice to State Street.
IV. Suspicious Activity Monitoring.
State Street shall assist the Trust in monitoring Accounts for Suspicious Activity (as defined in Part V below) by performing the Procedures set forth in this Part IV. To facilitate the monitoring of Suspicious Activity, State Street shall establish for each Account an activity profile (the “Profile”) based on the transactional history of the Account for the immediately preceding twelve month time period or such shorter period if the Account has been established for less than a year. The Profile will be based upon the number of purchase, redemption, exchange and transfer transactions as well as the average dollar amount of such purchases, redemptions, exchanges and transfers during such period. The Profile shall not include other types of transactional activity (e.g., dividends, share adjustments and stock splits). Each initial Profile shall be approved in writing by the Trust or an authorized employee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. The Trust understands and acknowledges that each Profile may change from time to time automatically to reflect additional Account activity and experience and to improve the efficacy of the Profile. If, in State Street’s opinion, the Profile is not as effective as it could be in establishing account activity for purposes of monitoring Suspicious Activity on behalf of the Trust, State Street may revise the Profile and not subject such revised Profile to any automatic changes; in which case State Street shall so notify the Trust and the Profile, as revised, shall not change except as mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. On a daily basis, State Street will input the purchase, redemption, exchange, and transfer transactions on each Account into its database to identify any transaction that does not correspond to the established Account Profile or, upon request by Trust, rules agreed to by the parties. With respect to each newly established Account, State Street will review transactions in the Account for thirty (30) days following the initial deposit into such Account to determine whether any such transaction or transactions, in its reasonable discretion, is or may be Suspicious Activity.
State Street shall cause its employees involved in monitoring Suspicious Activity on behalf of the Trust to participate in ongoing training on the detection of Suspicious Activity.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement to which State Street is subject or in violation of or prejudicial to any attorney-client privilege which may be invoked by State Street: (i) State Street shall notify the Trust of any activity that, in State Street’s reasonable discretion, is Suspicious Activity or may be Suspicious Activity; (ii) after any such notice, the parties shall cooperate and each party shall promptly provide to the other party such additional information in such party’s possession concerning the activity (including
A-4
information about the Customer and Account to which the activity relates) that the other party reasonably requests for the purpose of evaluating the suspiciousness of the activity; and (iii) each party shall document its findings concerning the activity to the other party. State Street, if it deems appropriate will prepare a draft SAR on Form SAR-SF and send a copy to the Trust for review. The Trust shall review the SAR and provide comments, if any, to State Street. State Street will file the appropriate report(s) on its own behalf and that of the Trust (“joint filing”) with the applicable regulators and comply with instructions of appropriate regulator(s) which may include, without limitation, freezing the account and its assets, refusing to add an authorized signer or beneficiary to the account, and/or closing the account. State Street shall provide to the Trust a copy of each SAR filed with supporting documentation which State Street will maintain for five (5) years.
The Trust acknowledges that State Street does not accept cash equivalents (including bank notes and bank drafts) in connection with any Account.
