WHEREAS, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the undersigned and each such entity shall be either a Fund Agent or Intermediary for purposes of this Agreement (the Fund Agent and the Intermediary shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, which consideration is full and complete, the Fund Agent and the Intermediary hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Provide Information. Intermediary agrees to provide the Funds, upon written request, the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), if known, of any or all Shareholder(s) of the account and the amount, date, name or other identifier of any investment professional(s) associated with the Shareholder(s) or account (if known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held through an account maintained by the Intermediary during the period covered by the request.

1.1. Period Covered by Request. Requests must set forth a specific period, not to exceed 180 days from the date of the request, for which transaction information is sought. The Funds may request transaction information older than 180 days from the date of the request as it deems necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by the Funds for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding shares issued by the Funds.

1.2. Form and Timing of Response. Intermediary agrees to transmit the requested information that is on its books and records to the Funds or their designee promptly, but in any event not later than ten (10) business days, after receipt of a request. If the requested information is not on the Intermediary’s books and records, Intermediary agrees to: (i) provide or arrange to provide to the Funds promptly, but in any event not later than twenty (20) business days, the requested information from shareholders who hold an account with an indirect intermediary; or (ii) if directed by the Funds, block further purchases of Fund Shares from such indirect intermediary. In such instance, Intermediary agrees to inform the Funds whether it plans to perform (i) or (ii). Responses required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing and in a format mutually agreed upon by the parties. To the extent practicable, the format for any transaction information provided to the Funds should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format. For purposes of this provision, and “indirect intermediary” has the same meaning as in SEC Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act.

1.3. Limitations on Use of Information. The Funds agree not to use the information received for marketing or any other similar purpose without the prior written consent of the Intermediary.

2. Agreement to Restrict Trading. Intermediary agrees to execute written instructions from the Funds to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been identified by the Funds as having engaged in transactions of the Funds’ Shares (directly or indirectly through the Intermediary’s account) that violate policies established by the Funds for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by the Funds.

2.1. Form of Instructions. Instructions must include the TIN, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed. If the TIN is not known, the instructions must include an equivalent identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or account(s) or other agreed upon information to which the instruction relates.

2.2. Timing of Response. Intermediary agrees to execute instructions as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five (5) business days after receipt of the instructions by the Intermediary.

2.3. Confirmation by Intermediary. Intermediary must provide written confirmation to the Funds that instructions have been executed. Intermediary agrees to provide confirmation as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten business days after the instructions have been executed.
