The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Trust. Nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing upon the Administrator any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received.

8. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. The Administrator shall at all times act in good faith without negligence and agrees to exercise the reasonable level of skill, care and diligence of a professional provider to exchange-traded funds of fund administration and fund accounting services in its performance of all services performed under this Agreement. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Trust insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reasonable reliance upon records that were maintained for the Trust by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as administrator for the Trust. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless solely caused by or resulting from the negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of the Administrator, its officers or employees. Except for actions of a party that constitute gross negligence or intentional misconduct, neither party shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits, of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) under any provision of this Agreement or for any such damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either party or any entity had been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, the Administrator’s cumulative liability for each calendar year (a “Liability Period”) with respect to the Trust under this Agreement regardless of the form of action or legal theory shall be limited to the total annual compensation earned by Administrator and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as defined herein, for any liability or loss suffered by the Trust or the Funds

including, but not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Trust or a Fund as a regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Trust’s or a Fund’s compliance with any federal or state tax or securities statute, regulation or ruling during such Liability Period; provided that such limitation on liability shall not apply to the Administrator’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. “Compensation Period” shall mean the calendar year ending immediately prior to each Liability Period in which the event(s) giving rise to the Administrator’s liability for that period have occurred. “Gross negligence” shall mean conduct that rises to the level of reckless disregard of an obligation owed under this Agreement or reckless disregard in the discharge of such obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Period for purposes of calculating the annual cumulative liability of the Administrator for the Liability Period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on December 31, 2021 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2021, calculated on an annualized basis, and the Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2022 and terminating on December 31, 2022 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2021, calculated on an annualized basis.

Neither party shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, natural disaster, governmental action or communication disruption (provided that the Administrator has complied with the obligations set forth in the following paragraph).

The Administrator shall at all times maintain a business contingency plan and a disaster recovery plan and shall take commercially reasonable measures to maintain and periodically test such plans. Such plans shall be consistent in all material respects with applicable prevailing industry practices and standards and designed to permit the Administrator to resume the provision of the services under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable following any event which prevents the Administrator from providing such services. The Administrator shall promptly implement such plans following the occurrence of an event that results in an interruption or suspension of the Administrator’s provision of services pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrator shall take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions in the event of equipment failure, work stoppage, governmental action, communication disruption or other impossibility of performance beyond the Administrator’s control. The Administrator shall make reasonable provision for periodic back-up of the computer files and data with respect to the Trust and its Funds and emergency use of electronic data processing equipment as necessary to provide services under this Agreement. Upon reasonable request, the Administrator shall discuss with the Trust the Administrator’s business contingency and disaster recovery plans and/or provide a high-level presentation summarizing such plans.

The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by the Administrator in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Trust or upon good faith reasonable reliance on information or records given or made by the Trust or its investment adviser, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to

actions or omissions of the Administrator, its officers or employees in cases of its or their own negligence or willful misconduct.

The indemnified party agrees to notify the indemnifying party of any such claim promptly in writing (provided that any omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnity obligations, except to the extent that such omission materially prejudices the indemnifying party) and to allow the indemnifying party to control the proceedings. The indemnified party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party during such proceedings. The indemnifying party agrees to keep the indemnified party reasonably apprised as to the status of the matter.

In the case of the Trust, Confidential Information shall also include, without limitation, any personal information (meaning any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual, but does not include business contact information of the Trust’s employees, information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records or that is deidentified or aggregate consumer information) (“Personal Information”).

In addition, the Receiving Party will exercise at least the degree of care that the Receiving Party exercises with respect to maintaining the confidentiality of its own proprietary or Confidential Information that it desires not to be disclosed to a third party but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information (a) that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement, (b) that is independently derived by the Receiving Party without the use of any information provided by the Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement, (c) that is disclosed to comply with any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, (d) that is disclosed as required by operation of law or regulation or as required to comply with the requirements of any market infrastructure that the Disclosing Party or its agents direct the Administrator or its Affiliates to employ (or which is required in connection with the holding or settlement of instruments included in the assets subject to this Agreement), or (e) where the party seeking to disclose has received the prior written consent of the party providing the information, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. As it relates to (c) in the

foregoing, unless otherwise prohibited by law the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any such demand or request.

The Receiving Party shall establish procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of the Disclosing Party information. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing of any breach of this section of which Receiving Party becomes aware.

10. Use of Data

(a) In connection with the provision of the services and the discharge of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator (which term for purposes of this Section 10 includes each of its parent company, branches and affiliates (“Affiliates”)) may collect and store information regarding the Trust or Fund and share such information with its Affiliates, agents and service providers who have a need to know such information in order and to the extent reasonably necessary (i) to carry out the provision of services contemplated under this Agreement and (ii) to carry out internal management of its business, including, but not limited to, financial and operational management and reporting, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance and client service management.

(b) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Section 10 shall limit the confidentiality and data-protection obligations of the Administrator and its Affiliates under this Agreement and applicable law. The Administrator shall cause any Affiliate, agent or service provider to which it has disclosed Data pursuant to this Section 10 to comply at all times with confidentiality and data-protection obligations as if it were a party to this Agreement and Administrator shall be responsible for any acts or omissions of its Affiliate, agent or service provider in connection with such party’s use or access to the Data.

11. Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations; Records

The Trust assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it. The Administrator shall comply will all applicable laws and regulations applicable to it in performing the services under this Agreement.

In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Administrator agrees that all records which it maintains for the Trust shall at all times remain the property of the Trust, shall be readily accessible during normal business hours, and shall be promptly surrendered upon the termination of the Agreement or otherwise on written request except as otherwise provided in Section 13. The Administrator further agrees that all records that it maintains for the Trust pursuant to Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act will be preserved for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act unless any such records are earlier surrendered as provided above. Records may be surrendered in either written or machine-readable form, at the option of the Administrator. In the event that the Administrator is requested or authorized by the Trust, or required by subpoena, administrative order, court order or other legal process, applicable law or regulation, or required in

connection with any investigation, examination or inspection of the Trust by state or federal regulatory agencies, to produce the records of the Trust or the Administrator’s personnel as witnesses or deponents, the Trust agrees to pay the Administrator for the Administrator’s time and expenses as mutually agreed upon by the parties, as well as the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrator’s counsel incurred in such production.

The Administrator agrees that it will store all records in a manner that ensures their accuracy and accessibility for as long as they are needed for the Administrator to meet its recordkeeping obligations under this Agreement and consistent with the 1940 Act. The Administrator shall have documented policies, standards and guidelines for converting or migrating data from one record system to another. The Administrator agrees that systems for electronic records must be designed so that records will remain accessible and accurate through any kind of system changes, for the entire period of the Administrator’s recordkeeping obligations under this Agreement and consistent with the 1940 Act. Where such processes do occur, evidence of these processes shall be retained, along with details of any variation in records design and format. This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Upon the Trust’s reasonable request, which in no event shall be more than once annually, the Administrator shall furnish to the Trust a summary of the Administrator’s applicable insurance coverage.

13. Effective Period and Termination

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party by giving one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice to the other. Either party may terminate this Agreement: (i) in the event of the other party’s material breach of a material provision of this Agreement that the other party has either (a) failed to cure or (b) failed to establish a remedial plan to cure that is reasonably acceptable, within 30 days’ written notice of such breach, or (ii) in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the other party or upon the happening of a like event to the other party at the direction of an appropriate agency or court of competent jurisdiction. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination, with respect to the Trust, of the Global Custody Agreement dated as of December 14, 2006 between the parties hereto, as amended from time to time. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Trust on behalf of a Fund shall pay Administrator its compensation due up to the effective date of termination.

Upon notice of termination of this Agreement for any reason, Administrator and Trust agree to provide their reasonable cooperation to effect an orderly transition of Administrator’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, including but not limited to transmittal of any records to a

new service provider or administrator selected by the Trust or to the Trust as soon as reasonably practicable. Such cooperation shall include the development and implementation by the parties of a mutually-agreed conversion plan for the orderly migration of the services herein. For the purpose of successful migration of such services, the parties may agree to have this Agreement remain in effect for an additional period after the termination date (the “Extension Period”). During the Extension Period, Administrator shall perform such services as the parties in good faith agree are reasonably necessary to facilitate the orderly transition of the services herein to the successor service provider or to the Trust. Any such services shall be provided by Administrator under the terms and conditions, and subject to payment of the fees and charges to be mutually agreed upon by the parties, applicable to the performance of the services under this Agreement on the date of notice of termination.

Sections 8, 9, 10 and 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Termination of this Agreement with respect to any one particular Fund shall in no way affect the rights and duties under this Agreement with respect to the Trust or any other Fund.

14. Delegation

The Administrator shall retain the right to employ agents, subcontractors, consultants and other third parties, whether affiliated or unaffiliated (each, a “Delegate” and collectively, the “Delegates”), to provide or assist it in the provision of any part of the services stated herein, without the consent or approval of the Trust. The Administrator shall be responsible for the services delivered by, and the acts and omissions of, any such Delegate as if the Administrator had provided such services and committed such acts and omissions itself. Unless otherwise agreed, the Administrator shall be responsible for the compensation of its Delegates.

The Administrator will provide the Trust with information regarding its global operating model for the delivery of the services on a quarterly or other periodic basis, which information shall include the identities of Delegates affiliated with the Administrator that perform or may perform parts of the services, and the locations from which such Delegates perform services, as well as such other information about its Delegates as the Trust may reasonably request from time to time. Nothing in this Section 14 shall limit or restrict the Administrator’s right to use affiliates or third parties to perform or discharge, or assist it in the performance or discharge, of any obligations or duties under this Agreement other than the provision of the services.

15. Interpretive and Additional Provisions

In connection with the operation of this Agreement, the Administrator and the Trust on behalf of each of the Funds, may from time to time agree on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions shall be in a writing signed by all parties, provided that no such interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any applicable laws or regulations or any provision of the Trust’s Governing Documents.

(a) Standard N-PORT and N-CEN Reporting Solution (Data and Filing):

Subject to the receipt of all required data, documentation, assumptions, information and assistance from each Trust (including from any third parties with whom the Trust will need to coordinate in order to produce such data, documentation, and information), the Administrator will use required data, documentation, assumptions, information and assistance from the Trust, the Administrator’s internal systems and, in the case of Trusts not administered by the Administrator or its affiliates, third party Trust administrators or other data providers, including but not limited to Third Party Data (as defined below) (collectively, the “Required Data”) to perform necessary data aggregations (including any applicable aggregation of risk metrics) and calculations and prepare, as applicable: (i) a monthly draft Form N-PORT standard template for review and approval by the Trust and (ii) annual updates of Form N-CEN for review and approval by the Trust.

Each Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for reviewing and approving each such draft N-PORT template and N-CEN update.

Following review and final approval by the Trust of each such draft Form N-PORT template and N-CEN update, and at the direction of and on behalf of each Trust, the Administrator will (i) produce an .XML formatted file of the completed Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN and (ii) electronically submit such filing to the SEC.

Annex 1 may be updated from time to time upon the written request of the Trust and by virtue of an updated Annex 1 that is signed by both parties.

Trust Duties, Representations and Covenants in Connection with (i) Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN Support Services.

The provision of the Services to each Trust by the Administrator is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. The parties acknowledge and agree on the following matters:

The Services depend, directly or indirectly, on: (i) Required Data and (ii) information concerning the Trust or its affiliates or any Fund, pooled vehicle, security or other investment or portfolio regarding which the Trust or its affiliates provide services or is otherwise associated (“Trust Entities”) that is generated or aggregated by the Administrator or its affiliates in connection with

services performed on the Trust’s behalf or otherwise prepared by the Administrator (“State Street Data,” together with Required Data and Third Party Data (as defined below), “Services-Related Data”). The Administrator’s obligations, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to any State Street Data used in connection with other services received by the Trust shall be as provided in such respective other agreements between the Administrator or its affiliates and the Trust relating to such other services (e.g., administration and/or custody services, etc.) from which the State Street Data is derived or sourced (“Other Trust Agreements”). Nothing in this Agreement or any service schedule(s) shall limit or modify the Administrator’s or its affiliates’ obligations to the Trust under the Other Trust Agreements.

In connection with the provision of the Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN Support Services, by the Administrator, the Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for providing the Administrator with any information requested by the Administrator, including, but not limited to, the following:

(A) Arranging for the regular provision of all Required Data (including State Street Data, where applicable) and related information to the Administrator, in formats compatible with Administrator-provided data templates including, without limitation, Required Data and the information and assumptions required by the Administrator in connection with a Trust reporting profile and onboarding checklist, as it, or the information or assumptions required, may be revised at any time by the Administrator, in its discretion (collectively, the “Onboarding Checklist”) and such other forms and templates as may be used by the Administrator for such purposes from time to time, for all Funds receiving services under this Agreement, including but not limited to those to be reported on Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN (as determined by the Trust), including, without limitation, arranging for the provision of data from the Trust, its affiliates, third party administrators, prime brokers, custodians, and other relevant parties. If and to the extent that Required Data is already accessible to the Administrator (or any of its affiliates) in its capacity as administrator to one or more Trusts, the Administrator and the Trust will agree on the scope of the information to be extracted from the Administrator’s or any of its affiliate’s systems for purposes of the Administrator’s provision of Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN Support Services, subject to the discretion of the Administrator, and the Administrator is hereby expressly authorized to use any such information as necessary in connection with providing the Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN Support Services, hereunder; and

(B) Providing all required information and assumptions not otherwise included in Trust data and assumptions provided pursuant to Section 1(A) above, including but not limited to the Required Data, as may be required in order for the Administrator to provide the Services.

The following are examples of certain types of information that each Trust is likely to be required to provide pursuant to Sections 1(A) and 1(B) above, and each Trust hereby acknowledges and understands that the following categories of information are merely illustrative examples, are by no means an exhaustive list of all such required information, and are subject to change as a result of any amendments to Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN:

SEC filing classification of the Trust (i.e., small or large filer);

Identification of any data sourced from third parties;

Identification of any securities reported as Miscellaneous; and

Any Explanatory Notes included in N-PORT Section E.

2. Each Trust acknowledges that it has provided to the Administrator all material assumptions used by the Trust or that are expected to be used by the Trust in connection with the completion of Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN and that it has approved all material assumptions used by the Administrator in the provision of the Services prior to the first use of the Services. The Trust will also be responsible for promptly notifying the Administrator of any changes in any such material assumptions previously notified to the Administrator by the Trust or otherwise previously approved by the Trust in connection with the Administrator’s provision of the Services. The Trust acknowledges that the completion of Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN and the data required thereby, requires the use of material assumptions in connection with many different categories of information and data, and the use and/or reporting thereof, including, but not limited to the following:

Investment classification of positions;

Assumptions necessary in converting data extracts;

General operational and process assumptions used by the Administrator in performing the Services; and

Assumptions specific to the Trust.

Each Trust hereby acknowledges and understands that the foregoing categories of information that may involve the use of material assumptions are merely illustrative examples of certain subject matter areas in relation to which the Trust (and/or the Administrator on its behalf in connection with the Services) may rely on various material assumptions, and are by no means an exhaustive list of all such subject matter areas.

3. Each Trust acknowledges and agrees on the following matters:

(A) Each Trust has independently reviewed the Services (including, without limitation, the assumptions, market data, securities prices, securities valuations, tests and calculations used in the Services), and the Trust has determined that the Services are suitable for its purposes. Excluding any representations and warranties provided by Administrator under the Agreement or in this Schedule B3, none of the Administrator or its affiliates, nor their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or service providers (collectively, including the Administrator, “State Street Parties”) make any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Services or otherwise.

(B) Each Trust assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it. The Administrator is not providing, and the Services do not constitute, legal, tax, investment, or regulatory advice, or accounting or auditing services advice. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties to this Agreement, the Services are of general application and the Administrator is not providing any

customization, guidance, or recommendations. The Administrator represents and agrees that it shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to it in performing the Services.

(C) Each Trust may use the Services and any reports, charts, graphs, data, analyses and other results generated by the Administrator in connection with the Services and provided by the Administrator to the Trust (“Materials”) (provided that the term “Materials” shall not include a Fund’s raw data, including Fund raw data provided by third parties, or the as-filed versions of a Fund’s Form N-PORT, Form N-CEN, or Portfolio of Investments filings) (a) for the internal business purpose of the Trust relating to the applicable Service or (b) for submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as required, of a Form N-PORT template and a Form N-CEN update, including any Portfolio of Investments, if applicable. The Trust may also redistribute the Materials, or an excerpted portion thereof, to its investment managers, investment advisers, agents, clients, investors or participants, as applicable, that have a reasonable interest in the Materials in connection with their relationship with the Trust (each a “Permitted Person”); provided, however, (i) the Trust may not charge a fee, or profit from the redistribution of Materials to Permitted Persons, (ii) data provided by third party sources such as but not limited to market or index data (“Third Party Data”) contained in the Materials may not be redistributed other than Third Party Data that is embedded in the calculations presented in the Materials and not otherwise identifiable as Third Party Data, except to the extent the Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data, or (iii) the Trust may not use the Services or Materials in any way to compete or enable any third party to compete with the Administrator. No Permitted Person shall have any further rights of use or redistribution with respect to, or any ownership rights in, the Materials or any excerpted portion thereof.

Except as expressly provided in this Section 3(C), the Trust, any of its affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, investment managers, investment advisers, agents or any other third party, including any client of, or investor or participant in the Trust or any Permitted Persons (collectively, including the Trust, “Trust Parties”), may not directly or indirectly, sell, rent, lease, license or sublicense, transmit, transfer, distribute or redistribute, disclose display, or provide, or otherwise make available or permit access to, all or any part of the Services or the Materials (including any State Street Data or Third Party Data contained therein, except with respect to Third Party Data to the extent the Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data). Without limitation, Trust Parties shall not themselves nor permit any other person to in whole or in part (i) modify, enhance, create derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile, decompose or disassemble the Services or the Materials; (ii) make copies of the Services, the Materials or portions thereof, other than with respect to the Materials and only as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 3(C); (iii) secure any source code used in the Services, or attempt to use any portions of the Services in any form other than machine readable object code; (iv) commercially exploit or otherwise use the Services or the Materials for the benefit of any third party in a service bureau or software-as-a-service environment (or similar structure), or otherwise use the Services or the Materials to perform services for any third party, including for, to, or with consultants and independent contractors; or (v) attempt any of the foregoing or otherwise use the Services or the Materials for any purpose other than as expressly authorized under this Agreement.

(D) The Trust shall limit the access and use of the Services and the Materials by any Trust Parties to a need-to-know basis and, in connection with its obligations under this Agreement, the Trust shall be responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of any Trust Parties.

(E) The Services, the Materials and all Confidential Information of the Administrator (as Confidential Information is defined in the Agreement and other than Third Party Data and Required Data), are the sole property of the Administrator. The Trust has no rights or interests with respect to all or any part of the Services, the Materials or the Administrator’s Confidential Information, other than its use and redistribution rights expressly set forth in Section 3(C) herein. The Trust automatically and irrevocably assigns to the Administrator any right, title or interest that it has, or may be deemed to have, in the Services, the Materials or the Administrator’s Confidential Information, including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any Trust Party feedback, ideas, concepts, comments, suggestions, techniques or know-how shared with the Administrator (collectively, “Feedback”) and the State Street Parties shall be entitled to incorporate any Feedback in the Services or the Materials or to otherwise use such Feedback for its own commercial benefit without obligation to compensate the Trust. The Administrator agrees not to identify the Trust Party as the source of such Feedback.

(F) The Administrator may rely on Services-Related Data used in connection with the Services without independent verification. Services-Related Data used in the Services may not be available or may contain errors, and the Services may not be complete or accurate as a result.
