Each of the Nuveen Open-End Investment Companies

As Listed on Schedule A to the Agreement

And

DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc.

This amendment, effective as of May 10, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), is made by the parties to the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement entered into on May 11^th, 2012, as amended (the “Agreement”), between each of the Nuveen open-end investment companies listed on Schedule A to the Agreement (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, the “Fund”) and DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as Boston Financial Data Services, Inc.) (the “Transfer Agent” or “DST”). Capitalized terms used in this amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the Funds have each appointed the Transfer Agent as transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with certain other activities, as set forth in the Agreement, of each Fund and its Portfolios; and

WHEREAS, the Funds and the Transfer Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Funds and the Transfer Agent hereby agree to amend the Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, as follows:

1. Schedule A. The current Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby replaced and superseded with the Schedule A attached hereto, effective as of May 10, 2020; and

2. Term. The Initial Term set forth in Section 11.1 of the Agreement is hereby redefined as the period extending from the Effective Date to May 10, 2025 (the “Extension Period”).

3. Fees. The Fee Schedule attached to the Agreement as Schedule 2.1, as modified by amendment from time to time (the “Current Fee Schedule”) is deleted in its entirety and the new Schedule 2.1 (the “2020 Fee Schedule”) attached hereto is inserted in lieu thereof and shall supercede and replace the “Current Fee Schedule” entirely from and after the Effective Date.

4. Print/Mail. The parties acknowledge that Transfer Agent is no longer performing or subcontracting print/mail services to a third party for the printing contemplated under the Agreement, but instead the Funds have directly engaged a separate print vendor to provide such services. As such, any references in the Agreement to Transfer Agent preparing and mailing any items, including but not limited to shareholder reports, prospectuses, shareholder statements and confirmations, and tax forms (1099, 1042, etc.) (“Shareholder Documents”) shall be modified to reflect Transfer Agent preparing and providing, in electronic format, to the Funds’ print vendor of

choice “print/read” files of such Shareholder Documents to enable the print vendor to print and mail the Shareholder Documents to shareholders and to the Funds for electronic delivery of shareholder daily statements, confirmations and tax forms (1099Div/B etc.), and any future enhancement for electronic delivery of additional items as agreed upon between the Funds and the Transfer Agent. Transfer Agent’s composition of such Shareholder Documents is outlined in Appendix A, attached hereto, and is subject to the fees outlined therein. Not in limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the following sections are amended as follows:

Section 1.2(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

(a) Other customary services. Perform the customary services of a transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, and, as relevant, agent in connection with accumulation, open account or similar plan (including without limitation any periodic investment plan or periodic withdrawal program), including but not limited to: maintaining all Shareholder accounts, preparing Shareholder meeting lists, sending electronic files to the Funds’ print vendor(s) of choice for the mailing of Shareholder proxies, Shareholder reports and prospectuses to current Shareholders, withholding taxes on U.S. resident and non-resident alien accounts, preparing and filing U.S. Treasury Department Forms 1099 and other appropriate forms required with respect to dividends and distributions by federal authorities for all Shareholders, sending electronic files to the Funds’ print vendor(s) of choice for confirmation forms and statements of account to Shareholders for all purchases and redemptions of Shares and other confirmable transactions in Shareholder accounts, sending electronic files to the Funds’ print vendor(s) of choice for activity statements for Shareholders and providing shareholder account information, as well as sending files to the Funds for those transactions via e-delivery.

Information Security.

Section 10.5 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

The Transfer Agent maintains and will continue to maintain at each service location physical and information security safeguards against the destruction, loss, theft or alteration of the Fund’s confidential information, including Customer Information, in the possession of the Transfer Agent that will be no less rigorous than those in place at the effective date of this Agreement, as detailed in Schedule 10.5, and from time to time enhanced in accordance with changes in regulatory requirements. The Transfer Agent will, at a minimum, update its policies to remain compliant with regulatory requirements. The Transfer Agent will meet with the Fund, at its request, on an annual basis to discuss information security safeguards. Further, upon the written request of the Fund with reasonable advance notice and for a proper purpose, the Fund’s information security personnel shall meet with the Transfer Agent to discuss the Transfer Agent’s information security programs (such as those detailed in Schedule 10.5) in greater detail, any such meeting to be held at a mutually agreeable location. In connection with such meeting, the Transfer Agent shall make available to the Fund such information regarding the safeguards as is reasonably necessary for the Fund’s

review; however the Transfer Agent shall not be obligated to provide information that it deems, in good faith, would be (a) a risk to the overall security of (i) the Transfer Agent’s information security program, (ii) the Transfer Agent’s systems, or (iii) the confidential information of the Transfer Agent’s other clients or (b) require extraordinary effort or expense to produce. The Fund may propose commercially reasonable changes to the safeguards and the Transfer Agent agrees to discuss such safeguards and, where appropriate, give them due consideration in connection with future updates of the Transfer Agent’s information security program. If the Transfer Agent or its agents discover or are notified of that someone has violated security relating to the Fund’s confidential information, including Customer Information, the Transfer Agent will (a) notify the Fund of such violation as soon as practicable on the same day, but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours of learning of such violation, and thereafter provide the Fund with details, once legally permitted, following its investigation, and (b) if the applicable confidential information was in the possession or under the control of the Transfer Agent or its agents at the time of such violation, the Transfer Agent will promptly (i) investigate, contain and address the violation, and (ii) advise the Fund as to the steps being taken that are reasonably designed to prevent future similar violations.

Schedule 10.5 Information Protection attached hereto is inserted as a new Schedule 10.5 of the Agreement.

6. Disaster Recovery.

The Plans shall also provide for the recovery from disruptions to Transfer Agents, sites, technology and staff, including pandemic planning or other impacts that could result in mass protracted absenteeism.

(B) An executive summary of Transfer Agent’s Plan evidencing viable recovery strategies for all Transfer Agent personnel is set forth in Schedule 10.6.

provided hereunder within thirty (30) days of test completion and shall include the demonstrated recovery time capability, and if housing the Funds’ Confidential Information, the recovery point capability as evidenced in the test. In addition, at least once per year, Transfer Agent will provide a minimum of ninety (90) days advance written notice of testing to allow the Funds to participate in and/or monitor Transfer Agent’s test exercises for the Plans.

(D) If Transfer Agent is required to activate a Plan due to an unplanned disruption, then (i) the Plan provides for a recovery time objective target of Transfer Agent processes in all material respects in order to perform the Services of four (4) hours (or less); and (ii) if Transfer Agent is storing Fund Confidential Information, then the Plan provides for a recovery point objective of thirty (30) minutes (or less) and Transfer Agent shall notify the Funds of the Plan activation as soon as possible after the disruption occurs. The parties understand that the Automated Work Distributor (“AWD”) application will not be recovered within the four (4) hour recovery time objective time frame specified above, but can support the recovery point objective of thirty (30) minutes or less.

(E) In the event that the Funds must invoke its own Disaster Recovery Plan, the Transfer Agent will cooperate with the Funds to provide back-up support to assist the Funds with the implementation of its Disaster Recovery Plan within 48 hours following the time of a disaster declaration by the Fund, and the Funds shall reimburse or cause to be reimbursed the Transfer Agent for any reasonable Out-of-Pocket expenses in providing such services.

Section 10.9. Insurance

The following is inserted as a new Section 10.9:

The Transfer Agent shall, at its own expense, secure and maintain, throughout the term of this Agreement, the minimum insurance coverage described in Schedule 10.9 to this Agreement, provided that such coverage is available from an insurance carrier at a reasonable cost to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall provide the Fund with written notice of any modification that decreases its coverage below such minimums or terminates such coverage. Such notice shall be given within thirty (30) days of the Transfer Agent’s receipt of notice of such modification or termination. Such insurance will be maintained with companies qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Services

will be performed.

Schedule 10.9 attached hereto is inserted as a new Schedule 10.9 of the Agreement.

8. Recitals Incorporated; Definitions. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and by this reference are incorporated herein. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. For clarity, references to SAS-70 or SSAE 16 in the Agreement, as amended (if any) shall be updated to Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 (SSAE 18), report on controls at a Service Organization or successor report issued by DST AMS’ certified public accountants.

9. Continuing Provisions of the Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Amendment, all other terms of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect.

10. Counterpart Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterpart signatures with the same effect as if the parties had all signed the same document. All counterpart signatures shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.

Such program shall align with the National Institute of Security and Technology (“NIST”) security framework.

2.2

Policies and Procedures. DST shall maintain a Written Information Security Policy (“WISP”) that is reasonably designed and implemented to identify, prevent, detect, contain, and correct security violations of measures taken to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Fund Confidential Information. The WISP, which may be in a single or multiple documents, must be reviewed and formally approved by DST management on an annual

basis. The WISP should be reviewed more frequently if changes are required based on risk assessments or whenever there is a material change in business practices, threat landscape, or regulatory requirements that may reasonably implicate the security or integrity of records containing Fund Confidential Information.

DST’s WISP must address, at a minimum, all security requirements as listed in this Schedule 10.5 as amended from time to time. DST shall make the WISP policy available to, and allow review by, Fund however the parties acknowledge that the WISP is guided by control standards which can only be viewed onsite upon the reasonable request of Fund (not more frequently than once per year). DST will not make any changes to the controls in the WISP which will materially negatively impact the security of Fund data.

At a minimum, the WISP will:

(i) establish and operate an information security function that is responsible for defining and overseeing the WISP, assign specific data security responsibilities and accountabilities to specific individual(s) designed to ensure effective management of information security and appropriate separation of duties within the organization, and employ qualified information security personnel sufficient to manage DST’s cybersecurity risks;

(ii) include a documented process by which exceptions to the WISP are reviewed and processed that addresses, at a minimum, the process for the prioritization, approval, and remediation, or risk acceptance, of controls that have not been adopted or implemented. DST will not allow any exceptions to the WISP as it pertains to Fund data without the agreement of Fund;

(iii) require accountability by DST personnel to immediately report suspected violations of the WISP to DST management. All DST personnel must formally acknowledge the WISP before they are granted access to Fund Confidential Information, and the WISP must document disciplinary measures for violations of the WISP;

(iv) describe acceptable use of DST’s assets, including computing systems, networks, and messaging. DST is responsible for ensuring that a resource inventory is kept current for all systems under DST’s control. It is the responsibility of DST to have an asset management policy which is communicated to DST personnel and other third parties. The asset management policy must be maintained and reviewed by management;

(v) provide authentication rules for the format, content and usage of passwords for end users, administrators, and systems. More specifically these policies will include:

(a) a password policy with a reasonably secure method of assigning and selecting passwords, or the use of unique identifier technologies, such as biometrics or token devices that cover all systems that store, access, transmit or process Fund Confidential Information. Passwords cannot be vendor supplied default passwords. This policy shall define standards for controlling password length, strength and change frequency;

(b) a policy requiring DST personnel to maintain the confidentiality of system passwords, keys, and passcodes designed to ensure Fund Confidential Information is not accessed without authorization. Passwords used for the protection of Fund Confidential Information must not be hard-coded into any scripts;

(d) controls to lock accounts when no more than five (5) invalid login attempts are made;

(e) a documented process to reset passwords that requires verification of user identity prior to password reset; and

(f) a requirement for system sessions to automatically timeout, and in the case of systems that store, access, transmit or process Fund Confidential Information, that such timeout shall occur after no more than fifteen (15) minutes;

(vi) describe logging and monitoring of DST’s production environment, including logging and monitoring of physical and logical access to DST’s networks and systems that process or store Fund Confidential Information;

(vii) include an incident response process;

(viii) enforce commercially reasonable practices for user authentication by employing a formal and documented process to grant access to facilities, systems, networks, and applications that contain Fund Confidential Information. This process must minimally include documented independent approval based on business need, and the initial password must be delivered in a secure manner and require change upon first logon;

(ix) restrict access to records and files containing Fund Confidential Information to only those DST personnel who need such information to perform the Services;

(x) restrict remote access, storage, or transmission to Fund Confidential Information. All remote access must be formally authorized by DST and must be protected using multi-factor authentication;

(xi) document a process to recertify access to facilities, systems, networks and applications regularly. This should include a documented review of access rights to confirm that access is still appropriate based on business needs. This review should occur at least annually or more frequently depending on risk and industry standards;

(xii) assign unique user IDs that are reasonably designed to maintain the integrity of the security of the access control to each person with computer access. Any shared accounts in use must be controlled such that the account is checked out and checked back in by a single individual (e.g. vaulting);

(xiii) include a formal risk management program which includes risk assessments performed at least annually, that defines internal and external threats, as well as the controls designed and implemented to mitigate these threats. Through its risk management program, DST must validate the effectiveness of these controls and document residual risk. The risk assessment must be performed on all systems, applications, and facilities transmitting, processing, or storing Fund Confidential Information include events and possible threats that could impact DST’s people, systems, and facilities. Additionally, the risk assessment program must include analysis of DST policy compliance. This risk assessment must be approved by DST management and communicated to DST personnel. DST must formally document roles and responsibilities for the risk assessment, including an owner to maintain and review the program;

(xiv) include self-assessments of internal controls in the area of information security for purposes of verifying compliance with their respective information security program, as well as with any legal, regulatory or industry requirements. The assessment should also be designed to ensure the WISP is operating in a manner reasonably calculated to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, Fund Confidential Information, and result in upgrading information security safeguards as necessary to limit risks;

(xv) limit the amount of Fund Confidential Information collected to that reasonably necessary to accomplish the Services, limiting the time such information is retained to that reasonably necessary to perform the Services, regulatory requirements, and limiting access to those persons who are reasonably required to access or handle the Fund Confidential Information in order to perform the Services; and

(xvi) provide an adequate framework of controls reasonably designed to safeguard Fund Confidential Information.

2.3

Subcontractors. To the extent that any subcontractor engaged by DST to provide services under the Agreement has access to, or receives from or on behalf of Fund any Fund Confidential Information in electronic format, DST shall enter into a written agreement with such subcontractor, which agreement shall contain provisions regarding maintaining the confidentiality of the Fund Confidential Information which are substantially compliant with, and at least as protective as, those terms set forth in the Agreement (including this Exhibit), to the extent the terms of the Agreement and this Appendix would be relevant to the subcontractor’s services provided.

(i) Subcontractor List. DST must maintain an up-to-date list of subcontractors that access, store, transmit, or use Funds’ Confidential Information.

(ii) Monitoring Subcontractors. For subcontractors who collect, transmit, share, store, control, process, manage or access Fund Confidential Information, DST is responsible for assessing and monitoring subcontractor control environments to meet reasonable security standards commensurate with the level of access an dservice provided by such subcontractor. DST must review and monitor the security practices and processes of its subcontractors on a regular basis, including, but not limited to, performing periodic audits on the security adequacy and compliance of the subcontractor. Where applicable and consistent with the services provided, any Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 18 (SSAE18) reports or similar report will be reviewed by DST at least annually. DST, upon prior written request, will provide evidence of DST’s oversight of any DST personnel. This may include, but is not limited to, documents related to DST’s vendor management program.

2.4

IT Change and Configuration Management. DST shall employ its own reasonable processes, for change management, code inspection, repeatable builds, separation of development and production environments, and testing plans. Code inspections will include a comprehensive process reasonably designed and implemented to identify vulnerabilities and malicious code. In addition, DST shall ensure that processes are documented and implemented for purposes of vulnerability management, patching, and verification of system security controls prior to their connection to production networks.

2.5

Firewall Management. Firewall management processes must be documented and meet industry standards. Any files containing Fund Confidential Information on a system

connected to the internet must be protected with up to date, industry standard, firewall protections and operating system security patches designed to maintain integrity and security of the Fund Confidential Information.

2.6

Network Access. DST must implement controls designed to prevent unauthorized devices from physically connecting to the internal network or to detect and alert an administrator (e.g. Network Access Control device (NAC)). DST must scan for rogue wireless access points on a regular basis.

2.7

Physical and Environmental Security. DST shall: (i) restrict entry to DST’s area(s) where Fund Confidential Information is stored, accessed, or processed solely to DST’s personnel or DST authorized third party service providers for such access; and (ii) implement commercially reasonable practices for infrastructure systems, including fire extinguishing, cooling, and power, emergency systems and employee safety.

2.8

DST Employee Training and Access. DST shall: (i) train its employees on the acceptable use and handling of the Funds’ Confidential Information; (ii) train its employees upon hiring on the WISP, the proper use of systems impacting Fund Confidential Information, and internal and external threats as identified in the risk assessment specified in Section 2.2(xiii) above and the expected procedures defined in the WISP to mitigate these threats; (iii) provide annual security education for its employees and maintain a record of employees that have completed such education; (iv) provide specialized security training to developers with roles and responsibilities in the development of applications interacting with Fund Confidential Information or systems; and (v) implement a formal user registration and de-registration procedure for granting and revoking access to DST’s information systems and services; and upon termination of any of DST’s employees, DST shall revoke such employee’s access to DST’s domain following termination of such individual and revoke such individual’s access to Fund Confidential Information within no more than twenty-four (24) hours of involuntary termination and within two (2) business days after voluntary termination hours and in accordance with DST’s internal policies and procedures. All privileged accounts with access to Fund Confidential Information that are known by the user must undergo a password change.

2.9

Change Notifications. DST may, in its sole discretion, revise DST information security policies and procedures based on internal company security and compliance related risk assessment decisions, provided such revisions do not materially degrade the controls associated with DST’s information security services provided to Fund as of the date of execution of this Exhibit.

2.10

Data Classification, DST must assign a classification rating that indicates the level of protection that should be applied when Fund Confidential Information is stored, processed, accessed, or transmitted.

SCHEDULE 10.6

TRANSFER AGENT’S PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The SS&C Data Center Executive Summary is an overview of the recovery processes for SS&C’s Winchester Data Center (WDC) infrastructure. The Executive Summary does not represent SS&C’s Corporate Business Continuity Plans. The Dedicated GCM team is responsible for the development, administration, exercising and improvement of the GCM program. All staff members maintain Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP) certifications from Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII). The GCM team reports to the Chief Risk Officer who is a direct report to the President of the company. The Winchester Data Center is the primary facility for the majority of SS&C’s data processing infrastructure. SS&C also maintains an alternate data center, commonly referred to as the Bridgeton Recovery Center (BRC). The Recovery Center is equipped with the hardware and software designed to achieve certain Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) if a disaster disables the Winchester Data Center. Recovery Time Objectives begin after SS&C declares a disaster at the Winchester Data Center. The specific RTO and RPO depend on the application being recovered. Initial Response to Emergency Situations WDC personnel take action designed to protect employees and organizational assets. They evaluate the emergency and make a preliminary estimate of damages and downtime. The BRC is placed on alert and the following information is then provided to the Global Crisis Management Response Team (GCMRT): Time disaster occurred Location of disaster Type of disaster Injuries Estimate of damage Estimate of downtime Recommendation to deciare a disaster or repair Declaration of Disaster If a situation warrants a disaster declaration, the GCMRT will recommend data center failover to SS&C’s Chief Risk Officer, who in consultation with SS&C’s Chief Technology Officer, will make a recommendation to SS&C’s President. SS&C’s President will make the ultimate decision for disaster declaration, its timing, and failover to the recovery center. Upon declaration, the GCMRT will coordinate and synchronize the execution of the following actions and maintain reporting through SS&C’s Crisis Communication protocols:

Notify SS&C’s BRC to begin recovery operations Execute manual or automated associate notification procedures Communicate with client relationship managers and associates following SS&C’s internal guidelines Provide status reports as defined at declaration Upon declaration, SS&C may run primary data processing from the BRC for an extended period Winchester Data Center and Bridgeton Recovery Center SS&C completed construction of its WDC in 1986 and acquired the BRC in 2003. The WDC and BRC are located approximately 250 miles apart in urban business parks near Kansas City (WDC) and St. Louis (BRC). Both facilities have the ability to monitor the other facility’s energy systems, environment systems, data systems, security systems, and personnel at all times. The WDC and the BRC have dedicated personnel supporting data processing functions and equipment available at all times. The WDC and the BRC each contain approximately 70,000 square feet of raised computer floor. Each data center is physically separated from adjacent buildings by roadways, parking areas, or fields. Both facilities’ primary structures are made with poured-in-place concrete. The WDC and the BRC facilities undergo weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual maintenance. Facility Information Energy Supply Each data center obtains power from local utilities. WDC receives its electricity through a dual feed from one substation and the BRC receives its electricity through a single feed from one substation. Both facilities are located in the Eastern Interconnected System. However, the data centers are located in separate North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) regions within the power grid. WDC resides in the Southwest Power Pool and the BRC resides in the Mid-America Interconnected Network. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Each data center contains multiple UPS systems rated at N+1 or greater. Engineering staff monitors these systems regularly and tests each system annually. Generator The data centers are equipped with generators and sufficient fuel to provide power for data processing, cooling, and facilities equipment for more than seven days without refueling under normal conditions. Facility support at WDC tests the N+2 rated system weekly and at the BRC monthly.

Power Distribution The data centers each contain redundant switchgear, PDU, and transformers rated at N+N. Cooling Equipment The data centers’ cooling systems retain a rating of N+N. Fire Suppression Fire detection systems constantly monitor both data, centers. In case of fire, two detectors must trigger to activate the fire detection system. Only then does the system fill the sprinkler piping and spray out water from the activated sprinkler head in the data center. SS&C associates monitor fire protection systems. Acts of Nature Tornado The WDC was built to withstand 250-270 MPH wind speeds and the related pressurization which are consistent to an EF-5 tornado. This structural integrity surrounds both the data center and environmental support facilities. Flood The WDC is located on a ridge several miles from the nearest flood plain. Historically neither the data center nor its surrounding area has been affected by flooding. The BRC is located within the Earth City Levee District. The 1,891-acre district is protected from flooding by an interrelated flood control system. Earthquake The WDC was built to meet seismic zone ratings based on distance from known faults. The data center is rated to withstand the effects of known fault areas in the Midwest based on historical fault information. Network Recovery SS&C has designed a multiple-carrier solution for data connectivity to the BRC. Network carriers provide diverse fiber connections between the WDC and the BRC. This network design allows for redundant connectivity to mirror and backup application data. SS&C accomplishes this connectivity by using high-speed channel extension and IP technology. SS&C does not encrypt data transferred within SS&C’s internal network.

Telecommunications The data centers use redundant circuits between facilities, redundant support equipment, redundant Point of Presence (POP)/Central Office (CO) connections, and diverse paths within the buildings for data and voice systems. Data center UPS supports data and voice equipment during an outage. Client Connectivity SS&C recovers client connectivity at the BRC according to the following processes: SS&C Supported Connectivity —SS&C has designed its Wide Area Network (WAN) to allow the redirection of client connections from the WDC to the BRC. SS&C accomplishes this through established commands. Client Provided —SS&C has implemented a secured network i nf restructure at the BRC, which allows client-provided connectivity. Customers who provide their own network connectivity to the WDC are responsible for providing connectivity into the BRC. Recovery Information SS&C uses various forms of data back-up and recovery designed to meet product RTO and RPO. SS&C backs up and recovers data and systems according to contracted product availability. Due to a wide range of client and application specific requirements, this document does not contain the list of SS&C recovered products. Client service representatives can provide specific product recovery. The following section covers the types of data processing used to back up and recover each of the platforms supported at the WDC. It also covers the two main recovery plans (4-Hour and 24-Hour RTOs) supported at the BRC. The name of the program reflects the RTO to which it relates. Mainframe Software For applications under the 4-Hour RTO, SS&C uses a mirroring process to backup applications and client data. This process controls data mirroring asynchronously between storage devices at WDC and the BRC. The RPO of 0-30 minutes can vary depending on the production data change rate. A higher change rate causes a longer delay in applying the changes at the BRC. The highest change rate occurs during the nightly cycle. Batch processing normally restarts at the last completed step, so the RPO should not be negatively affected. During online activity, the change rate is lower, so the RPO is at its shortest. As with all failures, work in progress is lost. The BRC personnel perform a system restart with the goal of providing system availability within 4 hours of declaration of a disaster. For applications under the 24-Hour RTO, SS&C uses a Virtualized Tape System (VTS) to backup application and client data. The RPO for application and client data is 24 hours. A sync point is taken on a daily bass by backing up the data to a VTS. This sync point occurs after nightly

processing has completed. The BRC personnel perform a system restart with the goal of providing system availability within 24 hours of declaration of a disaster. E-Commerce Software SS&C uses a replication tool for the recovery of the E-Commerce environment. The replication tool controls data-mirroring processes asynchronously between storage devices at WDC and the BRC. The RPO of 0-30 minutes can vary from time to time depending on the production data change rate. A higher change rate causes a longer delay in applying the changes at the BRC. As with all failures, work in progress is lost. The BRC personnel perform a system restart with the goal of providing system availability within four hours of the declaration of a disaster. Compute Software SS&C uses a replication tool for the recovery of the Compute environment. The replication tool controls data-mirroring processes asynchronously between storage devices at WDC and the BRC. The RPO of 0-30 minutes can vary from time to time depending on the production data change rate. A higher change rate causes a longer delay in applying the changes at the BRC. As with all failures, work in progress is lost. The BRC personnel perform a system restart with the goal of providing system availability within four hours of the declaration of a disaster. Mainframe, E-Commerce, or Compute Hardware Where required, SS&C associates and vendors install upgrades, patches, and any adjustments on BRC devices in accordance with production change control processes. Recovery Exercises SS&C’s Data Center Recovery plan exercises the recovery of products according to RTO and RPO. SS&C labels recovery exercises “4-Hour” and “24-Hour”, which indicates the RTOs exercised. SS&C has created the following exercise duration periods to accommodate product recovery, pre- nightly testing, nightly processing, and post-nightly testing: 4-Hour RTO exercises—24-hour period 24-Hour RTO exercises—48- hour period System support, product support, and applicable business units participate during scheduled exercises. SS&C exercises components associated with product recovery during a 4-hour or 24- hour RTO exercise, including but not limited to the following: Operating systems Databases

Applications Networks Hardware All 4-Hour and 24-Hour RTO recovery programs consist of the following types of exercises: Internal Exercises — Provide SS&C additional opportunities to validate recovery objectives. External Exercises— Provide clients an opportunity to view, manipulate, and use recovered products according to their pre-defined recovery objectives, including network. Each 4-Hour and 24-Hour RTO recovery exercise is scheduled multiple times per year, with two opportunities for client participation.
