Upon receipt from Trust of the necessary information or Proper Instructions, State Street will supply information from the books and records it maintains for Trust that Trust may reasonably request for tax returns, questionnaires, periodic reports to shareholders and such other reports and information requests as Trust and State Street may agree upon from time to time. At Trust’s expense at an hourly rate per State Street employee as agreed in the fee schedule referenced in Section 6 below, State Street will also provide reasonable assistance to Trust’s oversight personnel, and reasonable access to State Street’s offices by such personnel, for the purpose of auditing State Street’s performance of its duties hereunder, including the systems, disclosure controls and procedures implemented by State Street, but only as they relate to Trust.
SECTION 3.4 ADOPTION OF PROCEDURES. State Street and Trust may from time to time adopt such procedures as they agree upon, and State Street may conclusively assume that no procedure approved or directed by Trust, Trust’s or Portfolio’s accountants or other advisors conflicts with or violates any requirements of the governing documents, prospectus, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, decree or agreement by which Trust may be bound. Trust will be responsible for notifying State Street of any changes in statutes, regulations, rules, requirements or policies which may impact State Street responsibilities or procedures under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.5 VALUATION OF ASSETS. State Street will value the Assets in accordance with Trust’s Proper Instructions utilizing the information sources designated by Trust (“Pricing Sources”) from time to time on a Price Source and Methodology Authorization Matrix in the form attached as Schedule A.
SECTION 3.6 TRAINING. After execution of this Agreement, State Street shall provide initial training to Trust’s oversight personnel, at State Street’s expense with regard to the person(s) providing such training, on the use of State Street’s systems necessary to assist Trust to view its accounting records maintained by State Street. Such training shall be provided at Trust’s offices or such other location as the parties may agree. After execution of this Agreement and prior to its termination, upon request from Trust, State Street shall also provide a list of State Street’s internal training classes for State Street’s employees relating to investment accounting and industry knowledge, and shall provide reasonable access to such classes by Trust’s oversight personnel. State Street reserves the right to limit the number of Trust personnel who may enroll in any such class, and to prohibit participation by Trust personnel if their enrollment would bar participation by State Street employees. Trust shall bear all expenses related to the participation of Trust personnel in such classes.
SECTION 3.7 MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT, PROCEDURES AND PROGRAMS. State Street agrees that it will maintain:
1) | Computer and other equipment necessary or appropriate to carry out its obligations under this Agreement; |
2) | Commercially reasonable procedures and systems to safeguard from loss or damage attributable to fire, theft or any other cause the records and other data of the Trust; and |
3) | A commercially reasonable business continuation program and disaster recovery plan. |
SECTION 4 PROPER INSTRUCTIONS. “Proper Instructions”, which may also be standing instructions, as used throughout this Agreement, shall mean instructions received by State Street from the Trust, the Trust’s investment manager or sub-adviser, as duly authorized by Trust. Such instructions may be in writing signed by the authorized person(s) or may be in a tested communication or in a communication utilizing access codes effected between electro-mechanical or electronic devices or may be by such other means and utilizing such intermediary systems and utilities as may be agreed to from time to time by State Street and the person or entity giving such instructions, provided that the Trust has followed any security procedures agreed to from time to time by the Trust and State Street. Oral instructions will be considered Proper Instructions if State Street reasonably believes them to have been given by a person authorized to give such instructions with respect to the transaction involved. The Trust shall cause all oral instructions to be confirmed in writing. The Trust or the Trust’s investment manager or sub-adviser shall cause its duly authorized officer to certify to State Street in writing the names and specimen signatures of persons authorized to give Proper Instructions. State Street shall be entitled to rely upon the identity and authority of such persons until it receives Proper Instruction to the contrary. Unless such Proper Instructions delegating authority to any person to give Proper Instructions specifically limit such authority to specific matters or require that the approval of anyone else will first have been obtained, State Street will be under no obligation to inquire into the right of such person, acting alone, to give any Proper Instructions whatsoever. If Trust fails to provide State Street any such Proper Instructions naming designated representatives, any instructions received by State Street from a person reasonably believed to be an appropriate representative of Trust will constitute valid Proper Instructions hereunder. The term “designated representative” may include Trust’s or a Portfolio’s employees and agents, including investment managers and their employees. Trust will provide upon State Street’s request a certificate signed by an officer or designated representative of Trust, as conclusive proof of any fact or matter required to be ascertained from Trust hereunder. Trust will also provide State Street Proper Instructions with respect to any matter concerning this Agreement requested by State Street. If State Street reasonably believes that it could not prudently act according to the Proper Instructions, or the instruction or advice of Trust’s or a Portfolio’s accountants or counsel, it may in its discretion, communicate such belief to Trust and refrain from acting in accordance therewith.
SECTION 5 INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers.
