(3) Customer Identification Program.

(A) To assist the Fund in complying with requirements regarding a customer identification program in accordance with applicable regulations promulgated by U.S. Department of Treasury under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act (“CIP Regulations”), BNYM will do the following:

(i) Implement procedures which require that prior to establishing a new account in the Fund BNYM obtain the name, date of birth (for natural persons only), address and government-issued identification number (collectively, the “Data Elements”) for the “Customer” (defined for purposes of this Agreement as provided in 31 CFR 1024.100(c)) associated with the new account.

(ii) Use collected Data Elements to attempt to reasonably verify the identity of each new Customer promptly before or after each corresponding new account is opened. Methods of verification may consist of non-documentary methods (for which BNYM may use unaffiliated information vendors to assist with such verifications) and documentary methods (as permitted by 31 CFR 1024.220), and may include procedures under which BNYM personnel perform enhanced due diligence to verify the identities of Customers the identities of whom were not successfully verified through the first-level (which will typically be reliance on results obtained from an information vendor) verification process(es).

(iii) Record the Data Elements and maintain records relating to verification of new Customers consistent with 31 CFR 1024.220(a)(3).

(iv) Regularly report to the Fund about measures taken under (i)-(iii) above.

(v) If BNYM provides services by which prospective Customers may subscribe for shares in the Fund via the Internet or telephone, BNYM will work with the Fund to notify prospective Customers, consistent with 31 CFR 1024.220(a)(5), about the program conducted by the Fund in accordance with the CIP Regulations.

(B) Nothing in Section 3(b)(3) shall be construed to require BNYM to perform any course of conduct that is not required for Fund compliance with the CIP Regulations, including by way of illustration not limitation the collection of Data Elements or verification of identity for individuals opening Fund accounts through financial intermediaries which use the facilities of the National Securities Clearing Corporation.

(4) FinCEN Requests Under USA PATRIOT Act Section 314(a). The Fund hereby engages BNYM to provide certain services as set forth in this Section 3(b)(4) with respect to FinCEN Section 314(a) information requests (“Information Requests”) received by the Fund. Upon receipt by BNYM of an Information Request delivered by the Fund in full compliance with all 314(a) Procedures (as defined below), BNYM will compare appropriate information contained in the Information Request against relevant information contained in account records maintained for the Fund. Information relating to potential matches resulting from these comparisons, after review by BNYM for quality assurance purposes (“Comparison Results”), will be made available to the Fund in a timely manner. In addition, a potential

Page 12

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

match will be analyzed by BNYM in conjunction with other relevant activity contained in records for the particular relevant account, and if, after such analysis, BNYM determines that further investigation is warranted because the activity might constitute “suspicious activity”, as that term is used for purposes of the USA PATRIOT Act, then BNYM will deliver a suspicious activity referral to the Fund in a timely manner, with “timely” in this instance meaning the Fund will be given a reasonable period to comply with any applicable regulatory requirements. BNYM shall have no responsibility for filing reports with FinCEN that may be appropriate based on the Comparison Results or a referral. Such responsibility, as between the Fund and BNYM, shall remain with the Fund exclusively. “314(a) Procedures” means the procedures adopted from time to time by BNYM governing the delivery and processing of Information Requests transmitted by BNYM’s clients to BNYM, including without limitation requirements governing the timeliness, content, completeness, format and mode of transmissions to BNYM.

(5) U.S. Government List Matching Services.

(A) BNYM will compare Appropriate List Matching Data (as defined in subsection (C) below) contained in BNYM databases which are maintained for the Fund pursuant to this Agreement (“Fund Data”) to “U.S. Government Lists”, which is hereby defined to mean the following:

(i) data promulgated in connection with the list of Specially Designated Nationals published by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and any other sanctions lists or programs administered by OFAC to the extent such lists or programs remain operative and applicable to the Fund (“OFAC Lists”);

(ii) data promulgated in connection with the published Financial Action Task Force lists (“FATF Lists”);

(iii) data promulgated in connection with determinations by the Director (the “Director”) of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that a foreign jurisdiction, institution, class of transactions, type of account or other matter is a primary money laundering concern (“PMLC Determination”); and

(iv) data promulgated in connection with any other lists, programs or determinations (A) which BNYM determines to be substantially similar in purpose to any of the foregoing lists, programs or determinations, or (B) which BNYM and the Fund agree in writing to add to the service described in this subsection (a).

(B) In the event that following a comparison of Fund Data to a U.S. Government List as described in subsection (a) BNYM determines that any Fund Data constitutes a “match” with the U.S. Government List in accordance with the criteria applicable to the particular U.S. Government List, BNYM:

(i) will notify the Fund of such match;

(ii) will send any other notifications required by applicable law or regulation by virtue of the match;

(iii) if a match to an OFAC List, will to the extent required by applicable law or regulation assist the Fund in taking appropriate steps to block any transactions or attempted transactions to the extent such action may be required by applicable law or regulation;

Page 13

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(iv) if a match to the FATF Lists or a PMLC Determination, will to the extent required by applicable law or regulation conduct a suspicious activity review of accounts related to the match and if suspicious activity is detected will deliver a suspicious activity referral to the Fund;

(v) if a match to a PMLC Determination, will assist the Fund in taking the appropriate special measures imposed by the Director; and

(vi) will assist the Fund in taking any other appropriate actions required by applicable law or regulation.

(C) “Appropriate List Matching Data” means (A) account registration and alternate payee data, to the extent made appropriate by statutes, rules or regulations governing the U.S. Government Lists, (ii) data determined by BNYM in light of statutes, rules or regulations governing the U.S. Government Lists to be necessary to provide the services described in this Section 3(b)(5), and (iii) data the parties agree in writing to be necessary to provide the services described in this Section 3(b)(5).

(D) BNYM may fulfill its obligations under this Section 3(b)(5) by utilizing commercially available lists that contain the data promulgated as the U.S. Government Lists, whether such lists consist of data exclusive to one U.S. Government List or of data representing a combination of several watch lists, including several U.S. Government Lists.

(6) Legal Process SAR Referral. Upon the conclusion of the legal process service described in Section 3(a)(14), BNYM will review the Legal Process Item and other pertinent account records to determine whether such information reasonably indicates “suspicious activity” has occurred, and if it determines suspicious activity has occurred deliver a suspicious activity referral to the Fund within 2 business days.

(7) Suspicious Activity Monitoring. BNYM as agent of the Fund will engage in a commercially reasonable monitoring of activities occurring with respect to the Fund during BNYM’s performance of transaction processing and recordkeeping services and if in the course of such monitoring it determines that any of such activities could indicate the existence of suspicious activity and that an investigation of the potential suspicious activity is warranted, then BNYM will promptly deliver a suspicious activity referral to the Fund.

(8) BNYM agrees to permit governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Fund to conduct examinations of the operations and records relating to the services performed by BNYM under this Section 3(b) upon reasonable advance request and during normal business hours and to furnish copies at the Fund’s cost and expense of information reasonably requested by the Fund or such authorities and relevant to the services. BNYM will notify a Fund in the event BNYM receives notice from such authorities of such an examination of the Fund’s records, unless such notice is prohibited by law, regulation or court or regulatory order.

(9) For purposes of clarification: All Written Procedures relating to the services performed by BNYM pursuant to this Section 3(b) and any information, written matters or other recorded materials relating to such services and maintained by BNYM shall constitute Confidential Information (as defined below) of BNYM, except to the extent, if any, such materials constitute Fund records under the Securities Laws.

Page 14

(10) The Fund is solely and exclusively responsible for determining the applicability to the Fund of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, regulations of FinCEN, and all other laws and regulations of similar subject matter, as they may be constituted from time to time (“Fund AML Laws”), for complying with the Fund AML Laws, for determining the extent to which the AML Services assist the Fund in complying with the Fund AML Laws, and for furnishing any supplementation or augmentation to the AML Services it determines to be appropriate. Section 3(b) of the Agreement shall not be construed to impose on BNYM any obligation other than to engage in the specific course of conduct specified by the provisions therein, and in particular shall not be construed to impose any other obligation on BNYM to design, develop, implement, administer, or otherwise manage compliance activities of the Fund. The services provided pursuant to this Section 3(b) may be changed at any time and from time to time by BNYM in its reasonable sole discretion to include commercially reasonable provisions appropriate to the relevant requirements of the Fund AML Laws and the description of services contained in Section 3 shall be deemed revised accordingly without written amendment pursuant to Section 16(a). BNYM shall provide to the Fund for its review notice of the nature or content of any such changes that BNYM reasonably believes the Fund should be informed about and consult with the Fund to the extent requested by the Fund due to any responsibilities of the nature described in the first sentence of this Section 3(b)(10).

(11) In the event the Fund becomes subject to new or modified AML Laws and BNYM does not revise its AML Services in a manner that the Fund determines is sufficient for the Fund to comply with the new or modified AML Law and as a consequence the Fund requests that BNYM implement and develop a new or modified AML Service, BNYM agrees to consult with the Fund in good faith to determine whether BNYM will develop and implement a new or modified AML Service, and if so, the time frame and scope of such new or modified AML Service, all pursuant to Section 19(c).

(c) Red Flags Services.

(1) The provisions of this Section 3(c) (the “Red Flags Section”) shall apply in the event the Fund elects to receive the “Red Flags Services”, which are hereby defined to mean the following services:

(i) BNYM will maintain written controls reasonably designed to detect the occurrence of Red Flags (as defined below) in connection with (i) account opening and other account activities and transactions conducted directly through BNYM with respect to Direct Accounts (as defined below), and (ii) transactions effected directly through BNYM by Covered Persons (as defined below) in Covered Accounts (as defined below). Such controls, as they may be revised from time to time hereunder, are referred to herein as the “Controls”. Solely for purposes of the Red Flags Section, the capitalized terms below will have the respective meaning ascribed to each:

(A) “Red Flag” means a pattern, practice, or specific activity or a combination of patterns, practices or specific activities which may indicate the possible existence of Identity Theft (as defined below) affecting a Registered Owner (as defined below) or a Covered Person.

(B) “Identity Theft” means a fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority.

(C) “Registered Owner” means the owner of record of a Direct Account on the books and records of the Fund maintained by BNYM as registrar of the Fund (the “Fund Registry”).

(D) “Covered Person” means the owner of record of a Covered Account on the Fund Registry.

(E) “Direct Account” means an Account established directly with and through BNYM as a registered account on the Fund Registry and through which the owner of record has the ability to directly conduct account and transactional activity with and through BNYM.

Page 15

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(F) “Covered Account” means an Account established by a financial intermediary for another as the owner of record on the Fund Registry and through which such owner of record has the ability to conduct transactions in Fund shares directly with and through BNYM.

(G) “Account” means (1) an account holding Fund Shares with respect to which a natural person is the owner of record, and (2) any other account holding Fund Shares with respect to which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to the particular account owner’s customers from identity theft, including financial, operational, compliance, reputation, or litigation risks.

(ii) BNYM will provide the Fund with a printed copy of or Internet viewing access to the Controls.

(iii) As soon as practicable under the circumstances of particular Red Flags, BNYM will notify the Fund of Red Flags which it detects and reasonably determines to indicate a significant risk of Identity Theft to a Registered Owner or Covered Person (“Possible Identity Theft”) and assist the Fund in determining the appropriate response of the Fund to the Possible Identity Theft.

(iv) BNYM, at its own expense, will (A) engage an independent auditing firm or other similar firm of independent examiners to conduct an annual evaluation of the Controls and issue a report on the results of the evaluation (the “Evaluation Report”), and (B) furnish a copy of the Evaluation Report to the Fund; and

(v) Upon the Fund’s reasonable request on not more than a quarterly basis, issue a certification in a form determined to be appropriate by BNYM in its reasonable discretion, certifying to BNYM’s continuing compliance with the Controls after the date of the most recent Evaluation Report.

(2) The Fund agrees it is responsible for complying with and determining the applicability to the Fund of Section 615(e) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC or other applicable federal agency (the “Red Flags Requirements”), for determining the extent to which the Red Flags Services assist the Fund in complying with the Red Flags Requirements, and for furnishing any supplementation or augmentation to the Red Flags Services it determines to be appropriate. This Red Flags Section shall not be interpreted in any manner which imposes a duty on BNYM to act on behalf of the Fund or otherwise, including any duty to take any action upon the occurrence of a Red Flag, other than as expressly provided for in this Red Flags Section. The Controls and the Red Flags Services may be changed at any time and from time to time by BNYM in its reasonable sole discretion to include commercially reasonable provisions appropriate to the Red Flags Requirements, as they may be constituted from time to time. BNYM shall provide to the Fund for its review notice of the nature or content of any such change that it reasonably believes the Fund should be informed about and consult with the Fund to the extent requested by the Fund due to any responsibilities of the nature described in the first sentence of this Section 3(c)(2).

(d) Access To And Use Of The BNYM System. The terms of Schedule C to this Agreement shall apply to the Fund’s access to and use of any component of the BNYM System (as defined in Schedule C).

4. Confidentiality.

(a) Each party shall keep the Confidential Information (as defined in subsection (b) below) of the other party in confidence and will not use or disclose or allow access to or use of such Confidential Information except in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing. Each party acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the disclosing party will remain the sole property of such party. In complying with the first sentence of this subsection (a), each party will use the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable degree of care.

(c) Information or data that would otherwise constitute Confidential Information under subsection (b) above shall not constitute Confidential Information to the extent it:

(i) is already known to the receiving party at the time it is obtained;

(ii) is or becomes publicly known or available through no wrongful act of the receiving party;

(iii) is rightfully received from a third party who, to the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under a duty of confidentiality;

(i) in connection with activities contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) as required by law or regulation (including, for avoidance of doubt, filings with the SEC required by the Securities Laws) or pursuant to a court order, subpoena, order or request of a governmental or regulatory or self-regulatory authority or agency, or binding discovery request in pending litigation (provided the receiving party will provide the other party written notice of such requirement or request, to the extent such notice is permitted, and subject to proper jurisdiction, if applicable);

(iii) in connection with inquiries, examinations, audits or other reviews by a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority or agency, audits by independent auditors or requests for advice or opinions from counsel (provided the receiving party will provide the other party written notice of such requirement or request, to the extent such notice is permitted, and subject to proper jurisdiction, if applicable); or

(iv) the information or data is relevant and material to any claim or cause of action between the parties or the defense of any claim or cause of action asserted against the receiving party (provided the receiving party will provide the other party written notice of such requirement or request, to the extent such notice is permitted, and subject to proper jurisdiction, if applicable).

(e) Subject to the exceptions in (d), each party agrees not to publicly disseminate, broadcast or release Confidential Information of the other party or mutual Confidential Information even if such action otherwise could be construed to be permitted by other provisions of this Section 4.

In addition, BNYM will (i) promptly take commercially reasonable measures to prevent any further unauthorized access to or use of or loss or theft of unencrypted personal information or Confidential Information on account of the security breach, (ii) take commercially reasonable measures to prevent a recurrence of the events or circumstances underlying the particular security breach and consider enhancements to the safeguards protecting the personal information or Confidential Information of the Fund and its shareholders, (iii) provide such information and cooperation as may be reasonably requested by law enforcement agencies and regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Fund; and (iv) as soon as practicable after a reasonable opportunity to conduct a full investigation of the circumstances of the Security Breach, provide the Fund in writing with a description of the security breach and the actions taken or to be taken by BNYM pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above. BNYM shall provide such assistance as the Fund may reasonably request to enable the Fund to prepare any shareholder notifications required by applicable law or regulations due to the Security Breach, and BNYM shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of preparing and distributing such notifications, which such costs and expenses shall not be subject to Section 11(b). BNYM agrees that this paragraph shall cover any of its affiliates, subcontractors or agents that obtains access to personal information related to a Fund under this Agreement, and that BNYM will be liable to the Fund for the compliance of such persons with this provision. This paragraph will survive termination or expiration of the Agreement for so long as BNYM continues to possess or have access to personal information or Confidential Information related to the Fund or its shareholders.

5. Privacy. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the reuse and re-disclosure provisions of Regulation S-P, 17 CFR Part 248.11, it shall not disclose the non-public personal information of investors in the Fund obtained under this Agreement, except disclosures in connection with carrying out the services set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by law or regulation. BNYM agrees to implement and maintain appropriate security measures to protect “personal information”, as that term is defined in 201 CMR 17.00: Standards For The Protection Of Personal Information Of Residents Of The Commonwealth, as amended from time to time (“Massachusetts Privacy Regulation”), consistent with the Massachusetts Privacy Regulation and any applicable federal regulations. BNYM will implement and maintain a comprehensive information security program with written policies and procedures reasonably

Page 18

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the non-public personal information of the Fund’s current and former shareholders. The information security program will contain administrative, technical and physical safeguards reasonably designed to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of such information; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to individuals, and (iv) ensure appropriate disposal of such information.

6. Cooperation with Accountants. BNYM shall cooperate with the registered independent public accountants for the Fund and shall take commercially reasonable measures to furnish or to make available to such accountants information relating to this Agreement and BNYM’s performance of the obligations hereunder as requested by such accountants and necessary for the expression of their opinion.

7. Ownership Rights. Ownership rights with respect to property utilized in connection with the parties’ use of the BNYM System shall be governed by applicable provisions of Schedule C.

8. Disaster Recovery. BNYM shall maintain or arrange with third parties for back-up facilities (“Back-Up Facilities”) to the primary operations and data centers used by BNYM to provide the services (“Primary Facilities”). The Back-Up Facilities will be capable of providing the services in the event an incident to the Primary Facilities significantly interrupts the delivery of a significant service to be provided hereunder. In the event of equipment failures, BNYM shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, notify the Fund as soon as practicable under the circumstances and take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions, including using the Back-Up Facilities where appropriate. BNYM shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or service interruptions caused by equipment failure, provided such loss or interruption is not caused by the intentional misconduct, bad faith, recklessness or negligence of BNYM in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or exacerbated by the intentional misconduct, bad faith or recklessness of BNYM.

9. Compensation.

(a) As compensation for services rendered by BNYM during the term of this Agreement, the Fund will pay to BNYM such fees and charges (the “Fees”) as may be agreed to from time to time in writing by the Fund and BNYM (the “Fee Agreement”). In addition, the Fund agrees to pay, and will be billed separately in arrears for, reasonable expenses related to such Fund as specified in the Fee Agreement or other writing signed by both parties, incurred by BNYM in the performance of its duties hereunder (“Reimbursable Expenses”).

(b) BNYM may establish demand deposit accounts or other accounts in its own name for the benefit of the Fund at third party financial institutions (“Third Party Institution”), including without limitation Third Party Institutions that may be an affiliate of BNYM (“Affiliated Third Party Institutions”) or a client of BNYM, for the purpose of administering funds received by BNYM in the course of performing its services hereunder (“Service Accounts”). BNYM may establish Service Accounts primarily or exclusively with Affiliated Third Party Institutions and retain funds primarily or exclusively in the Service Accounts at Affiliated Third Party Institutions. BNYM and its Affiliated Third Party Institutions may derive a benefit from the funds placed on deposit with the Affiliated Third Party Institutions in Service Accounts due to the availability of the funds for use by the Affiliated Third Party Institutions in their business operations and BNYM takes that possibility of deriving benefit from such funds into consideration when determining the fee set forth in the Fee Agreement for cash management services. As of the Effective Date, BNYM does not receive any balance credits, interest income, dividend income or other money or money-equivalent benefits (“Monetary Benefits”) with respect to Service Accounts but reserves the right to retain any Monetary Benefits related to Service Accounts that may accrue to it or be paid to it in the future as well as the right to transfer amounts between Service Accounts for cash management purposes.

Page 19

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(c) In connection with BNYM’s performance of transfer agency services, the Fund acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) BNYM in its role as transfer agent may be notified of a Fund payment obligation that BNYM as transfer agent is expected to satisfy, such as a same-day settlement obligation with the NSCC, by forwarding payment to the NSCC or other obligee but the amount required to satisfy the particular payment obligation of the Fund may exceed the amount of funds then available for transfer in the relevant Service Accounts (such excess amount if transferred by BNYM being hereinafter referred to as an “Overdraft Amount”);

(ii) BNYM is not obligated to transfer any funds representing Overdraft Amounts and may in its sole discretion decline without liability hereunder to transfer funds representing Overdraft Amounts;

(iii) Notwithstanding the absence of an obligation to do so, BNYM may elect to transfer funds representing Overdraft Amounts (from sources other than the Service Accounts) as a courtesy to a Fund and to maintain BNYM’s good standing with the NSCC and other participants in the financial services industry and that by electing to transfer funds representing Overdraft Amounts BNYM does not, even if it has transferred such funds as part of a regular pattern of conduct, waive any rights under this Section 9(c) or assume the obligation it has expressly disclaimed in clause (ii) above and BNYM may at any time in its sole discretion and without notice decline to continue to make such transfers;

(iv) The Fund is at all times obligated to pay to BNYM an amount of money equal to the Overdraft Amounts that have not been offset by credits posted to the relevant Service Account subsequent to the transfer of the Overdraft Amount and such amounts are payable, and shall be paid, together with such accrued interest as may be charged by BNY Mellon Bank in accordance with the Custody Agreement (as defined in Schedule D), by the Fund immediately upon demand by BNYM, except that to the extent the Fund repays outstanding Overdraft Amounts and any accrued interest to BNY Mellon Bank pursuant to the eighth paragraph of Schedule D, the Fund’s obligation to repay that amount to BNYM pursuant to this Section 9(c)(iv) shall be deemed satisfied; and

(v) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement the Fund (alone or together with other Funds) will execute the letter agreement attached hereto as Schedule D with BNY Mellon Bank as an Affiliated Third Party Institution in which one or more Service Accounts will be established and as the Fund Custodian.

(d) The Fund hereby represents and warrants to BNYM that (i) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the fees and expenses associated with this Agreement, and (iii) any benefits accruing to BNYM or to the adviser or sponsor to the Fund in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any fee waivers, conversion cost reimbursements, up-front payments, signing payments or periodic payments made or to be made by BNYM to such adviser or sponsor or any affiliate of the Fund relating to the Agreement have been fully disclosed to the Board of Directors of the Fund and that, if required by applicable law, such Board of Directors has approved or will approve the terms of this Agreement, any such fees and expenses, and any such benefits.

(e) No termination of this Agreement shall cause, and no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in any manner that would cause, BNYM’s right to receive payment of its fees and charges for services actually performed hereunder, and the Fund’s obligation to pay such fees and charges, to be barred, limited, abridged, conditioned, reduced, abrogated, or subject to a cap or other limitation or exclusion of any nature.

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(f) [reserved]

(g) Provisions of this Agreement providing for BNYM to receive commercially reasonable compensation or fees and reimbursement of expenses from the Fund for services or a course of conduct it might perform supplemental to the services expressly provided for herein or in circumstances outside the ordinary course of business shall not be diminished to any degree solely due to such compensation, fees and reimbursable expenses not being expressly provided for in the Fee Agreement.

(h) In the event the Fund or any class of the Fund is liquidated, ceases operations, dissolves or otherwise winds down operations (“Dissolution Event”) or effects a final distribution to shareholders (a “Final Distribution”), the Fund shall be responsible for paying to BNYM all fees that the Fund is legally obligated to pay BNYM hereunder with respect to the Fund or class, as applicable and reimbursing BNYM for all reasonable expenses associated with services to be provided by BNYM in connection with the Dissolution Event or Final Distribution, whether provided pursuant to a specific request of the Fund or provided by BNYM due to industry standards or due to obligations under applicable law or regulation by virtue of the services previously performed for Fund (“Final Expenses”). In connection with the foregoing, the Fund shall (i) notify BNYM as promptly as practicable following first approval of the Dissolution Event or Final Distribution or any aspect of the Dissolution Event or Final Distribution by its Board and furnish BNYM with copies of all materials filed with the SEC or distributed to shareholders related thereto, (ii) calculate, set aside, reserve and withhold from the Final Distribution or from any distribution subsequent to Board approval of the Dissolution Event or Final Distribution all amounts necessary to pay the Final Expenses and shall notify BNYM as far in advance as practicable of any deadline for submitting materials appropriate or necessary for the determination of such amounts, and (iii) take measures to ensure timely payment of Final Expenses as they come due.

10. Instructions.

(a) BNYM will engage in conduct when so directed by a Written Instruction or an Implementing Communication if the Written Instruction or an Implementing Communication, as appropriate, complies with applicable requirements set forth in this Section 10.

(i) Written Instructions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (A) unless the terms of this Agreement, Written Procedures or other written agreement between the Fund and BNYM expressly provide, in the reasonable discretion of BNYM, all requisite details and directions for it to take a specific course of conduct, BNYM may, prior to engaging in a course of conduct on a particular matter, whether the course of conduct is proposed by or otherwise originates with BNYM or is directed by the Fund in a Fund Communication, require the Fund to provide it with Written Instructions with respect to the particular conduct, and (B) BNYM may also require Written Instructions with respect to conduct specified in a Fund Communication if it reasonably determines that the Agreement, Written Procedures or other written agreement between the Fund and BNYM provides for the Fund to furnish a Written Instruction in connection with the specified conduct.

(ii) Implementing Communications. “Implementing Communication” means Fund Communications that are not a Written Instruction and that BNYM has determined in accordance with clause (i) above are not required in whole or in part to be the subject of a Written Instruction.

(b) Subject to the right of BNYM to require in accordance with Section 10(a)(i) that conduct directed by a Fund Communication be provided in a Written Instruction, BNYM reserves the right to decline to act in accordance with a Fund Communication:

Page 21

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(i) for a Bona Fide Reason; or

(ii) if the Fund Communication (or contents thereof) does not constitute in all material respects, in the sole judgment of BNYM exercised reasonably, a “Standard Instruction”, which is hereby defined to mean:

(A) an instruction received by BNYM directing a course of conduct substantially similar in all material respects to a course of conduct provided for in a Written Procedure, or

(B) if a Written Procedure provides for a particular form of instruction to be used in connection with a matter (a “Standard Form”), an instruction received by BNYM (I) on the specified Standard Form which responds appropriately to all requirements of the specified Standard Form, or (II) in a format other than the specified Standard Form but conforming in all material respects to, and responding appropriately to all requirements of, the specified Standard Form in BNYM’s sole judgment exercised reasonably.

(c) Notwithstanding the right reserved by BNYM in Section 10(b) to decline to engage in conduct directed by a Fund Communication that is not a Standard Instruction (such instruction being a “Non-Standard Instruction”):

(i) BNYM will in good faith consider implementing a Non-Standard Instruction if:

(A) BNYM in its sole judgment exercised reasonably determines sufficient time exists under the circumstances to evaluate fully and implement the requested conduct; and

(B) the Fund makes its request in writing (including via e-mail) to a Customer Service Officer and provides all written materials, including descriptions and responses to questions, that in the reasonable judgment of BNYM are appropriate to fully evaluate the request.

(ii) BNYM will attempt to evaluate the request with existing resources on the basis of the written materials but if at any time it determines in its sole judgment exercised reasonably that Research is required to fully evaluate the request or the development, implementation or performance of the Non-Standard Instruction, BNYM will notify the Fund of the Research required by BNYM and resume the evaluation only if (A) the Fund obtains and provides all Research required by BNYM or (B) the Fund authorizes BNYM in writing to obtain the required Research at the Fund’s cost and expense.

(iii) BNYM may at any time after such a request is made, and before or after the written materials and, if applicable, the Research are furnished in whole or in part, decline without liability or further obligation of any nature hereunder to implement a Non-Standard Instruction:

(A) for a Bona Fide Reason;

(B) if it determines in its sole judgment exercised reasonably that there is insufficient time to fully evaluate and implement the requested alternative to the applicable Standard Instruction; or

(C) if it determines in its sole judgment exercised reasonably and in good faith based on the course of discussions that it and the Fund will be unable to agree in writing to mutually satisfactory terms and conditions governing the Non-Standard Instruction.

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(iv) BNYM will act in accordance with a Non-Standard Instruction solely pursuant to the terms of a mutually agreeable written instrument executed by the Fund and BNYM with respect to the conduct constituting the Non-Standard Instruction (such written instrument is referred to herein as an “Accepted Non-Standard Instruction”). For the avoidance of doubt, such conduct is included within the conduct described in clause (b) of Section 12(a).

(d) (1) The Fund shall implement commercially reasonable measures to provide that Fund Communications delivered to BNYM are authorized, accurate and complete. BNYM is not obligated to act, and may refrain from acting, on any “Ineligible Communication”, which is hereby defined to mean a Fund Communication that BNYM in good faith determines:

(i) to be vague, ambiguous or incomplete;

(ii) to contain an error that is not reasonably reconcilable;

(iii) to have been received too late to be acted upon;

(iv) to be incapable of being implemented due to a failure to meet applicable specifications or system requirements;

(v) to be in conflict with a previous or contemporaneous Fund Communication; or

(vi) to be incapable of being executed in accordance with all applicable performance standards or due to any other defect.

(2) BNYM will as promptly as reasonable in consideration of the subject matter of the Fund Communication notify the Fund in a timely manner of its determination that a Fund Communication is an Ineligible Communication; provided, however, BNYM shall have no duty to inspect for or discover an Ineligible Communication. BNYM may act in reliance on Fund Communications as received by it and shall have no duty to inquire into any matter regarding the Fund Communication, including without limitation the validity, authority, truthfulness, accuracy or genuineness of the Fund Communication, or to verify the identity of an individual giving the Fund Communication; provided, however, BNYM shall be obligated to verify that the name of any person executing a Written Instruction is listed as an Authorized Person. BNYM may assume and rely on the assumption that any Fund Communication is not in any way inconsistent with the provisions of the Fund’s prospectus or organizational documents, this Agreement or any vote, resolution or proceeding of the Fund’s Board of Directors or shareholders. BNYM may also rely on and is authorized by the Fund to act in reliance on communications from shareholders of the Fund and from persons reasonably believed to be representatives of shareholders of the Fund with respect to all matters reasonably related to the services provided for herein other than those BNYM determine to be not in good order or which it reasonably rejects on other grounds (“Shareholder Communications”, and together with Fund Communications (excluding Fund Communications identified to the Fund as Ineligible Communications), “Service Communications”). BNYM shall notify the Fund of any such rejections in accordance with Written Procedures.

(e) Absent Liable Conduct on the part of BNYM, BNYM shall not be liable to the Fund for any Loss of the Fund, and the Fund shall indemnify and defend BNYM in accordance with Section 12(a) against any Loss, directly arising from or incurred due to or in connection with:

(i) BNYM’s reasonable good faith interpretation of a Service Communication;

(ii) BNYM’s reasonable reliance on, or conduct it reasonably engages in pursuant to, a Service Communication;

(iii) a delay in BNYM’s implementing a course of conduct contained in an Ineligible Communication;

(iv) BNYM’s failure to engage in conduct requested by a Service Communication with respect to which it has no duty to act;

(v) any error, omission, inaccuracy, inconsistency, misrepresentation, fraud, forgery or other defect in a Service Communication;

(vi) any failure to receive an item intended to be a Service Communication or the delay of its actual receipt or its receipt in a form, configuration or with contents other than as transmitted;

Page 23

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(vii) any interception of or unauthorized access to or use of a Service Communication or item intended to be a Service Communication prior to receipt by BNYM; or

(viii) the invalidity or lack of truthfulness, accuracy, authority or genuineness of a Service Communication.

(f) In addition to any other provision of this Agreement that may be applicable to a particular Instruction, BNYM may include in the writing constituting a Standard Instruction, or in a Standard Form, appropriate operational, procedural and functional terms and provisions, provisions appropriate to its agency role, and provisions appropriate in light of or imposed by applicable law or regulations, rules of the DTCC, NSCC or similar service providers or governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority, or Industry Standards. In addition, in the absence of provisions in this Agreement that in the sole judgment of BNYM exercised reasonably provide sufficient authority, indemnification, limitations on liability or confidentiality and privacy protections, BNYM may require third parties purportedly authorized to act on behalf of or for the benefit of the Fund in connection activities contemplated by this Agreement, or the Fund, to execute a document containing such terms and conditions as BNYM may reasonably require prior to engaging in any course of conduct with such third parties.

(g) While reserving its right under this Section 10 to decline to act in accordance with instructions not constituting Written Instructions, BNYM may agree to act in accordance with Oral Instructions on a particular matter, and, with respect to each acceptance of Oral Instructions, the Fund agrees that it will deliver to BNYM, for receipt by 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) on the same business day as the day the Oral Instructions were given, Written Instructions which confirm the course of conduct contained in the Oral Instructions. Under all circumstances and for all purposes of the Agreement: BNYM’s written memorialization of the Oral Instructions shall constitute the Written Instructions applicable to the particular matter; and the validity and authorization of such Written Instructions and of the conduct undertaken by BNYM and BNYM’s right to rely on such Written Instructions shall not be abridged, abrogated or adversely impacted in any manner.

(h) In the event facts, circumstances, or conditions exist or events occur, including without limitation situations contemplated by Section 10(d), and BNYM reasonably determines that it must take a course of conduct in response to such situation (including a course of action that constitutes taking no action) and must receive an Instruction from the Fund to direct its conduct, and BNYM so notifies two Authorized Persons of the Fund, and the Fund fails to furnish Instructions (“Response Failure”), BNYM will in good faith seek to determine the appropriate course of conduct in response to the circumstances and will have all rights with respect the conduct taken in good faith in such circumstances (including a course of action that constitutes taking no action) that it would have if the conduct were specified in Written Instructions.

(i) Any form furnished by the Fund to third parties for use in connection with the activities or services of BNYM contemplated by this Agreement that does not constitute a Standard Form or a form that is substantially equivalent in all material respects to a Standard Form (“Non-Standard Form”) shall constitute a Non-Standard Instruction subject to all terms of this Section 10 applicable to Non-Standard Instructions . BNYM may without liability hereunder decline to accept or act upon a Non-Standard Form and the Fund indemnifies and releases BNYM for and from Loss incurred in connection with reasonable conduct BNYM engages in in connection with the Non-Standard Form, including accepting or declining to accept or acting or declining to act upon a Non-Standard Form.

11. Terms Relating to Liability.

(a) BNYM shall at all times act in good faith and with reasonable care in its performance of services under this Agreement (the “Standard of Care”). To the extent BNYM uses subcontractors pursuant to Section 17 of this Agreement, BNYM shall be liable to the Fund for each such subcontractor’s performance to the extent it does not meet the Standard of Care. With respect to BNYM’s performance of a service provided for in Section 3, BNYM shall be liable to the Fund (or any person or entity claiming through or for the Fund) for any loss, cost, expense and damages, the recovery of which is not excluded by another provision of this Agreement, only to the extent caused by a failure to perform in accordance with the Standard of Care that constitutes intentional misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard, fraud or negligence (“Liable Conduct”). For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence does not diminish in any manner BNYM’s liability for breach of the Agreement by BNYM or its subcontractors. In the absence of a finding to the contrary, which shall include without limitation a finding that BNYM acted with intentional misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard of its duties, fraud, or negligence, the acceptance, processing and/or negotiation of a fraudulent payment for the purchase of Shares shall be presumed not to have been Liable Conduct.

(b) BNYM’s maximum aggregate cumulative liability to the Fund and all persons or entities claiming through the Fund, considered as a whole, for all Loss, the recovery of which is permitted and not excluded by another provision of this Agreement (including, for avoidance of doubt, any amount paid pursuant to Section 6.4(b) of Schedule C), shall not exceed: (i) the fees actually paid to BNYM by the Fund for services provided hereunder during the twenty-four (24) months immediately prior to the last Loss Date; or (ii) if the last Loss Date occurs during the period commencing with the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the greater of the amount calculated in accordance with clause (i) ) (i.e., fees paid through the last Loss Date) or the monthly average of fees paid through the last Loss Date multiplied by 24.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision, and for all purposes, of this Agreement: Neither party nor its Affiliates shall be liable for any Loss (including Loss caused by delays, failure, errors, interruption or loss of data) or breach hereunder occurring directly or indirectly by reason of any event or circumstance, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, which despite the taking of commercially reasonable measures is beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation: extraordinary forces of nature and natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, severe storms (storms of a nature substantially equivalent to hurricanes but not meeting other criteria necessary to receive an official hurricane name), tornados, earthquakes and wildfires; national or local states of emergencies; epidemics; action or inaction of civil or military authority; war, terrorism, riots or insurrection; criminal acts; job action by organized labor; building or area evacuations; interruption, loss or malfunction of utilities, transportation, computer or communications capabilities; denial of service attacks; non-performance by third parties (other than subcontractors of BNYM for causes other than those described herein); or functions or malfunctions of the internet, firewalls, encryption systems or security devices caused by any of the foregoing (all and any of the foregoing being an “Event Beyond Reasonable Control”) . Upon the occurrence of an Event Beyond Reasonable Control, the affected Party shall be excused from any non-performance caused by the Event Beyond Reasonable Control for so long as the Event Beyond Reasonable Control or damages caused by it prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to perform the obligation so impacted, including invoking disaster recovery or business continuity plans when applicable.

(d) BNYM shall not be liable for any Loss arising out of any action, omission or conduct of any prior service provider of the Fund or for any failure to discover any action, omission or conduct of any prior service provider of the Fund that caused or could cause Loss.

(e) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement:

Page 25

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

In no event shall BNYM, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be liable under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for lost profits, for exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, or for any other losses which are not direct damages regardless of whether such losses were or should have been foreseeable and regardless of whether any entity has been advised of the possibility of such losses, all and each of which such loss is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties. For purposes of clarification: no other provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to condition, limit, modify, nullify or otherwise prevail in whole or in part over this section 11(e)(1).

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement except Section 12(a):

In no event shall the Fund, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be liable under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for lost profits, for exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, or for any other losses which are not direct damages regardless of whether such losses were or should have been foreseeable and regardless of whether any entity has been advised of the possibility of such losses, all and each of which such loss is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties. For purposes of clarification: no other provision of this Agreement except Section 12(a) shall be interpreted to condition, limit, modify, nullify or otherwise prevail in whole or in part over this section 11(e)(2).

(f) [Reserved]

(g) Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party may become responsible.

(h) With respect to securities data, files, reports, information and research furnished to BNYM by third parties (not delegated duties, subcontracted or otherwise engaged by BNYM to perform the services hereunder on its behalf) and included in the BNYM System (“Securities Data”), the Fund acknowledges that BNYM makes no warranty concerning the Securities Data and BNYM disclaims all responsibility for the Securities Data, including its content, accuracy, completeness, availability or timeliness of delivery, and BNYM shall not be liable for Loss caused by Securities Data not being provided to it with the content and at the time which is standard for the industry or which is required for performance of any service provided for herein, including without limitation performance of the Licensed Services (as defined in Schedule C) and other BNYM services provided for in Schedule C; provided, however, with respect to transaction activity communicated to BNYM by the DTCC or NSCC, BNYM will maintain commercially reasonable processes and procedures to detect and attempt to resolve rejected transactions.

(i) If BNYM becomes aware of a matter that involves a check or draft drawn by a shareholder or a check or draft issued to a shareholder (or alternate payee) that is alleged to be fraudulently endorsed, a signature guarantee, signature validation or other guarantee or certification that is alleged to be fraudulently procured or tendered, or any other matter involving a payment instrument or system that may give rise to a claim under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by a particular State or Territory of the United States (“UCC”) or under a signature guarantee or other program, such as the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, based on whole or in part on provisions of the UCC (“UCC Program”), BNYM will take commercially reasonable measures to investigate the matter (“UCC Matter”) and if it reasonably determines at any time due to the investigation that a shareholder or the Fund possesses a valid claim under the UCC to recover any amount from a bank or other financial institution expressly subject to the UCC, BNYM will when considered commercially reasonable under the UCC take measures to file a claim on behalf of the Fund for recovery of the relevant amount with the appropriate party under the UCC or the UCC Program (“Initial Claim”). BNYM will inform the Fund if the claim is denied in whole or in part, if any recovery is made or if BNYM gets no response to the claim, and in the event of any recovery will consult with the Fund with respect to the depositing of the recovered amount in a Service Account, the crediting of a shareholder account or any other appropriate conduct, and will provide reasonable

Page 26

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

cooperation at the Fund’s cost and expense with any actions the Fund may subsequently elect to take to seek any further recovery. Absent Liable Conduct in BNYM’s processing of any underlying transaction, as between the Fund and BNYM, the Fund shall be solely responsible for any amounts not recovered or not capable of being recovered in a UCC Matter, any market exposure (gain or loss) experienced by a shareholder or the Fund as a result of a UCC Matter, any fraud or similar conduct not constituting a UCC Matter or involving a forged or unauthorized drawer signature or altered instrument, and all costs and expenses of seeking any recovery in a UCC Matter other than costs associated with filing any Initial Claim. This Section 11(i) sets forth the sole responsibility of BNYM with respect to the matters addressed herein.

(j) BNYM shall be entitled to rely on, and engage in conduct based upon, its reasonable interpretation of “Legal Authority” (which is hereby defined to mean all laws and all regulations, rules, legal process and other acts and communications of an official nature of governmental, quasi-governmental bodies, regulatory and self-regulatory bodies) and the analysis and advice of Fund legal counsel or external legal counsel of its own choosing, provided the external legal counsel is not a generalist and the practice area of the external legal counsel includes the subject matter of the analysis and advice, including such reliance and conduct in circumstances when available Legal Authority is in conflict or does not provide unambiguous precedent or guidance. BNYM may rely and act in accordance with the analysis and advice of such legal counsel that is reasoned notwithstanding the existence or availability of a differing legal analysis or advice or of different interpretations. For the avoidance of doubt, such conduct is included within the conduct described in clause (b) of Section 12(a) and the rights described in Section 12(a) apply in the event the Fund requests that BNYM engage in conduct other than in accordance with BNYM’s reasonable interpretation of Legal Authority or reasoned legal analysis or legal advice obtained from Fund legal counsel or external legal counsel and BNYM engages in such conduct.

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, no party to this Agreement shall be liable to any other party to this Agreement for any costs or expenses of any nature related to legal counsel, legal representation or legal action, including without limitation costs and expenses associated with litigation, threatened litigation and dispute resolution, court costs and costs of arbitration, discovery, experts, settlement and investigation that arise in connection with any claim, indemnification, action or demand made or sought under this Agreement between parties to this Agreement. Each party shall bear its own such costs and expenses.

(l) This Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

12. Indemnification.

(a) The Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless BNYM and its affiliates, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Custodian and its affiliates in connection with services it provides pursuant to Section 3(a)(12), and the respective directors, trustees, officers, agents and employees of each, from any and all Losses related to any Claim arising directly or indirectly from: (a) conduct of the Fund or a Fund contractor, subcontractor or prior or current service provider in connection with activities contemplated by the Agreement; (b) conduct of BNYM as agent of the Fund not involving Liable Conduct in the execution of the conduct, including without limitation conduct taken by BNYM pursuant to Fund Communications, Written Procedures, legal analysis or legal advice as described in Section 11(j), Section 10(h) (Response Failure), or Non-Standard Forms, and (c) a Fund Error. BNYM shall have no liability to the Fund or any person claiming through or for the Fund for any Loss caused in whole or in part by any conduct described in the preceding sentence.

Page 27

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(b) BNYM shall notify the Fund as promptly as practicable of all material facts of which it becomes aware regarding events or circumstances with respect to which BNYM could seek indemnification under this Agreement. No failure to so notify and no late notification shall disqualify BNYM from indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Fund is materially adversely affected by the failure to notify or delay in notification. The Fund has the option to conduct the defense of any third party claim asserted against BNYM with respect to which BNYM could seek indemnification from the Fund under this Agreement. In the event that the Fund so elects to conduct the defense of a claim, it may do so with counsel of its choosing reasonably satisfactory to BNYM, and thereupon the Fund shall take over complete defense of the claim and BNYM shall not be entitled to further indemnification hereunder for costs of counsel and related legal expenses; provided, however, BNYM may engage counsel at BNYM’s expense to participate in such defense and otherwise to advise it with respect to matters related to the claim and the Fund and its counsel shall provide all documents and information reasonably requested by BNYM’s counsel. Neither BNYM nor the Fund will, without the other party’s prior written consent, confess any claim, settle or make any compromise in any case in which the Fund will be or has been asked to provide indemnification.

(c) BNYM shall indemnify the Fund for the loss, cost, expense and damages that BNYM is liable to the Fund for under Section 11(a) of the Agreement. For avoidance of doubt: BNYM is not liable to the Fund under Section 11(a) for “Legal Costs”, which is hereby defined to mean all costs of litigation or threatened litigation such as but not limited to court costs, costs of counsel, discovery, experts, settlement and investigation.

(d) This Section 12 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

13. Duration and Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and continue, unless validly terminated pursuant to this Section 13 prior thereto, until the date which is the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Service Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will continue in effect but may be terminated by the Funds or by BNYM upon at least ninety (90) days advance written notice.

(b) [reserved]

(c) If a party (BNYM or any Fund) materially breaches this Agreement (a “Defaulting Party”) the other party (on one hand, BNYM; on the other hand, the Funds acting collectively) (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party (BNYM or the Funds collectively) (“Breach Notice”), and if such material breach shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after the Breach Notice is given, then the Non Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the Defaulting Party (“Breach Termination Notice”), in which case this Agreement shall terminate as of 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) on (i) the 30th day following the date the Breach Termination Notice is given, (ii) such later date as may be specified in the Breach Termination Notice (but in the event the material breach occurs during the Initial Term, not later than the last day of the Initial Term, or in the event the material breach occurs after the expiration of the Initial Term, not later than 90 days following the date the Breach Termination Notice is given), or (iii) if later and applicable, on the later of the day all services provided for hereunder cease to be provided (except Trailing Services) or the date of the Deconversion (or final Deconversion if more than one). In all cases, termination by the Non Defaulting Party shall not constitute a waiver by the Non Defaulting Party of any other rights it might have under this Agreement or otherwise against the Defaulting Party.

(d) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Section 13(h) , if prior to the date which is 2 years and 6 months after the Service Effective Date, due to a Change of Control or any other reason, the Fund gives notice to BNYM terminating this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 13(c) or Section 13(f), or terminating BNYM as the provider of any service, or the Fund by its action or inaction causes a “Constructive Termination” to occur (hereby defined to be circumstances that make it impractical or impossible for BNYM to perform some substantial portion or all of the services as contemplated by the Agreement on the Effective Date) (individually and collectively, “Early Terminations”), the following terms shall apply:

Page 28

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(i) BNYM shall, if requested by the Fund, make a commercially reasonable effort to facilitate a conversion to the Fund’s successor service provider; provided that BNYM does not guarantee that it will be able to effect a conversion on the date(s) requested by the Fund.

(ii) Before the earlier to occur of the effective date of the Early Termination or the commencement date of any significant activities related to a conversion or transfer of Fund records and accounts to a successor service provider, the Fund shall pay to BNYM an amount equal to (i) all fees and other charges and amounts that would be due under the Fee Agreement (excluding Reimbursable Expenses if not to be incurred) from such payment date through the second anniversary of the Service Effective Date and (ii) 50% of the fees and other charges and amounts that would be due under the Fee Agreement (excluding Reimbursable Expenses if not to be incurred) from such second anniversary date through the date that follows the Service Effective Date by 2 years and 6 months (“Early Termination Fee”). The Early Termination Fee shall be calculated using the average of the monthly fees and other charges and amounts due to BNYM under this Agreement during the last three calendar months immediately preceding the date of the notice of Early Termination (or, if not given, the date services are terminated hereunder) extrapolated over the remaining term of the Agreement at such date.

(iii) The Fund expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Early Termination Fee is not a penalty but is reasonable compensation to BNYM for a termination of the Agreement before the expiration of the Initial Term and prior to receipt by BNYM of the compensation upon which the fees and other terms of this Agreement were based.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 13(d), “Change in Control” means a merger, consolidation, adoption, acquisition, change in control, re-structuring, or re-organization of or any other similar occurrence involving the Fund or any affiliate of the Fund.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Section 13(h), if prior to the date which is 2 years and 6 months after the Service Effective Date any of the accounts serviced by BNYM under this Agreement, or assets in such accounts, are removed from the coverage of this Agreement other than pursuant to shareholder transactions (for clarification: redemptions, exchanges, transfers or similar dispositions of Shares in an account occurring pursuant to instructions from a record owner or beneficial owner of the account without direction or coordination among accounts of different owners by an Investment Company, a Fund, an affiliate of either or an Affiliate of such affiliate) (“Shareholder Transactions”) or “Omnibus Conversions”, which are hereby defined to mean broker-dealer initiated consolidations and conversions of individual shareholder accounts into broker-dealer omnibus accounts, and are subsequently serviced by another service provider (including the Fund or an affiliate of the Fund) (collectively, “Removed Accounts”), the Fund will be deemed to have caused an Early Termination with respect to such Removed Accounts as of the day immediately preceding the first such removal of assets or accounts and the Fund shall pay BNYM within 30 days of such date an Early Termination Fee calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)(1)(ii) as if the Removed Accounts constituted a “Fund” (“Removed Account Fee”).

Page 29

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(e) (1) In connection with any termination of this Agreement or services by the Fund, whether alone or in conjunction with other Funds, the Fund shall also pay to BNYM the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) below not later than the “Payment Date”, which is hereby defined to mean (i) the date of termination of the Agreement or service (whether such date is determined by designation of a date in a notice of termination or due to the occurrence of a Constructive Termination), or, (ii) if either of the following, or both, should occur before such termination date, the date that either of the following first occurs: (aa) the date of cessation of a substantial portion of the services provided for in Section 3 of the Agreement, or (bb) the date that performance of significant Deconversion Services is scheduled to commence:

(A) any Fees and Reimbursable Expenses that may be owed by the Fund pursuant to Section 9(a) for services performed by BNYM pursuant to the Agreement through and including the Payment Date (whether already invoiced, pending invoice or estimated in good faith);

(B) the amount estimated in good faith by BNYM (“Good Faith Estimate”) for:

(I) any services to be provided by BNYM following the Payment Date that may relate to a cessation of operations or the winding up of the affairs of the Fund or a termination of the Agreement, including by way of example and not limitation, answering general shareholder inquiries, furnishing historical shareholder account information to authorized parties, providing tax services with respect to transactions occurring before the termination such as the filing of final tax forms, maintaining a Service Account for checks not yet cleared, and compliance with record retention requirements (“Trailing Services”), at the fees set forth in the Fee Agreement or, if applicable fees are not provided for therein, at commercially reasonable rates, and

(II) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses expected to be incurred in performing the Trailing Services (“Reimbursable Trailing Expenses”); and

(III) if BNYM is requested to perform any Deconversion Services (as defined below): (I) fees and charges of BNYM for such Deconversion Services at the rates set forth in the Fee Agreement or, if applicable fees are not provided for therein, fees at commercially reasonable rates, and (II) amounts to reimburse BNYM for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in performing the Deconversion Services. “Deconversion Services” means a Deconversion and any and all other measures taken and conduct engaged in by BNYM associated with any transfer or movement of files, records, materials or information or a conversion thereof, including but not limited to the transfer, movement or duplication of any files, records, materials or information and any conversion of such from the formats and specifications of the BNYM System to the formats and specifications of a successor service provider or as otherwise specified by the Funds. BNYM’s obligation to perform any Deconversion Services is expressly conditioned on the prior performance by the Funds, to BNYM’s reasonable satisfaction, of their obligations under Section 3(a)(12)(C)(ii).

(2) For avoidance of doubt: to the extent BNYM performs any services pursuant to Section 3 or Schedule C of the Agreement subsequent to the Payment Date, the Fund shall pay for such services upon being invoiced for such services in accordance with the terms of the invoice.

(3) Within 120 days following the Deconversion (or final Deconversion if more than one):

Page 30

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(A) BNYM shall determine any (i) amounts payable by the Fund for services provided pursuant to Section 3 or Schedule C of the Agreement that have not been paid, (ii) amounts payable by the Fund for Trailing Services, for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing the Trailing Services, for Deconversion Services and for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing the Deconversion Services that have not been paid by the Fund, whether or not included in whole or in part in the Good Faith Estimate, and (iii) amounts paid by the Fund pursuant to Sections 13(e)(1)(B) and 13(e)(2) in excess of amounts actually owed by the Fund to BNYM for the services indicated in said Sections; and

(B) BNYM shall net the amounts determined in accordance with clause (A) above and notify the Fund whether BNYM owes money to the Fund or the Fund owes money to BNYM and the amount owed; and

(4) Within seven (7) days of the notification provided for by Section 13(e)(3)(B), BNYM will pay the Fund any amount it owes the Fund and the Fund shall pay BNYM any amount it owes BNYM.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, BNYM or the Fund may in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement immediately (and, for avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination by BNYM, immediately cease providing all services hereunder) by sending written notice of termination to the other party (the “Insolvent Party”) upon the happening of any of the following: (i) the Insolvent Party commences as debtor any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or there is commenced against the Fund any such case or proceeding; (ii) the Insolvent Party commences as debtor any case or proceeding seeking the appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee, custodian or similar official for the Insolvent Party or any substantial part of its property or there is commenced against the Insolvent Party any such case or proceeding; (iii) the Insolvent Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) the Insolvent Party admits in any recorded medium, written, electronic or otherwise, its inability to pay its debts as they come due. The Solvent Party may exercise its termination right under this Section 13(f) at any time after the occurrence of any of the foregoing events notwithstanding that such event may cease to be continuing prior to such exercise, and any delay in exercising this right shall not be construed as a waiver or other extinguishment of that right.

commercially reasonable or conduct consistent with generally accepted industry practices, principles or standards (“Industry Standard”). Likewise, when in connection with a providing a service, including IGO and NIGO determinations, BNYM is required to engage in conduct for which it does not have a Standard Procedure or Standard Procedures only partially address the facts and circumstances of a particular issue, BNYM may engage in and act in reliance on: a reasoned course of conduct, conduct it reasonably determines to be commercially reasonable or conduct consistent with Industry Standards. In making the decisions described in the foregoing sentences BNYM may rely on such information, data, research, analysis and advice, including legal analysis and advice, as it reasonably determines appropriate under the circumstances. For clarification: the published guidelines of the Securities Transfer Association shall constitute an Industry Standard on the subject matter addressed therein. BNYM may revise the Standard Procedures in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14(a).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following terms of this Section 14(b) shall apply in the event facts, circumstances or conditions exist or events occur which would require a service to be provided hereunder other than in accordance with BNYM’s Standard Procedures, or if BNYM is requested by the Fund, or a third party authorized to act for the Fund, to deviate from a Standard Procedure in connection with the performance of a service hereunder or institute a service or procedure with respect to which there is no Standard Procedure (collectively, a “Non-Standard Procedure”):

(i) BNYM will in good faith consider implementing a Non-Standard Procedure if the Fund requests such in writing and provides all written materials, including descriptions, specifications, business requirements and responses to questions of BNYM, that in the sole judgment of BNYM exercised reasonably are appropriate to fully evaluate the request.

(ii) BNYM will attempt to evaluate the request with existing resources on the basis of the written materials but if at any time it determines in its sole judgment exercised reasonably that Research is required to fully evaluate the request or the development, implementation or performance of the Non-Standard Procedure, BNYM will notify the Fund of the Research required and resume the evaluation only if the Fund obtains and provides all Research required by BNYM or if it authorizes BNYM in a writing reasonably satisfactory to BNYM to obtain the required Research at the Fund’s cost and expense.

(iii) BNYM may at any time after such a request is made, and before or after the written materials and, if applicable, the Research are furnished in whole or in part, decline without liability or further obligation of any nature hereunder to implement a Non-Standard Procedure (i) for a Bona Fide Reason or (ii) if it determines in its sole judgment exercised reasonably that it and the Fund are unable to mutually agree in writing to all terms and conditions governing the development, implementation and performance of the Non-Standard Procedure, including without limitation terms and conditions regarding appropriate procedures, indemnification and payment terms.

(iv) A Non-Standard Procedure that BNYM agrees to implement in a written instrument executed by the Fund and BNYM is referred to herein as an “Exception Procedure” and BNYM shall obligated to perform a Non-Standard Procedure only to the extent expressly provided for in an Exception Procedure.

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

(d) If in the course of acting in accordance with a Non-Standard Procedure, BNYM encounters questions, issues or uncertainty of a legal or other nature as to the appropriate course of conduct under the Non-Standard Procedure, the Fund agrees that any reasonable expenses incurred by BNYM in consulting with third parties, such as, without limitation, attorneys, auditors or accountants, to resolve the questions, issues or uncertainty shall be the responsibility of the Fund to be paid upon being invoiced by BNYM. Prior to engaging any such third party BNYM shall advise the Fund it is doing so and the Fund shall have the option of obtaining such consulting services on its own and providing the results to BNYM. For the avoidance of doubt, conduct engaged in pursuant to this Section 14(d) is included within the conduct described in clause (b) of Section 12(a).

17. Assignment; Subcontracting. Except as expressly provided in this Section 17, no party may assign or transfer this Agreement or assign or transfer any right or obligation hereunder without the written consent of the other party and any attempt at such assignment or transfer, or any such assignment or transfer, shall be void. For clarification: “assign” and “transfer” as used in the foregoing sentence are intended to mean conveyances (whether by contract or operation of law) which fully and irrevocably vest in the assignee or transferee exclusively all the rights and obligations being conveyed and fully and irrevocably divest the assignor or transferor of all the rights and obligations being conveyed. A merger, a sale of a majority or more of the assets, equity interests or voting control, or a transfer by operation of law or pursuant to court order shall be considered a “transfer” under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing: To the extent appropriate under rules and regulations of the NSCC, BNYM may satisfy its obligations with respect to services involving the NSCC through an Affiliate that is a member of the NSCC by delegation or subcontracting; BNYM may assign or transfer this Agreement to an Affiliate or transfer this Agreement in connection with a sale of a majority or more of its assets, equity interests or voting

control, provided that BNYM gives the Fund thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such assignment or transfer and such assignment or transfer does not impair the Fund’s receipt of services under this Agreement in any material respect, and the assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by all terms of this Agreement in place of BNYM; and BNYM may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to any third party with respect to the performance of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNYM under this Agreement but any such subcontracting, hiring, engaging or outsourcing shall not relieve BNYM of any of its liabilities hereunder.

18. Facsimile Signatures; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts; such execution of counterparts may occur by manual signature, facsimile signature, manual signature transmitted by means of facsimile transmission or manual signature contained in an imaged document attached to an email transmission; and each such counterpart executed in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed an original, with all such counterparts together constituting one and the same instrument. The exchange of executed copies of this Agreement or of executed signature pages to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or as an imaged document attached to an email transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery hereof and may be used for all purposes in lieu of a manually executed copy of this Agreement.

19. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the related Fee Agreement, embody the final, complete, exclusive and fully integrated record of the agreement of the parties on the subject matter herein and therein and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, proposals, responses to requests for proposal, memoranda of understanding or memoranda of any other nature, terms sheets, letters of intent and communications of any other nature relating to such subject matter.

(b) Non-Solicitation. During the effectiveness of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, no party shall, directly or indirectly, knowingly solicit or recruit for employment or hire, or make a recommendation, or referral or otherwise knowingly assist or facilitate the solicitation or recruitment of any employee of the other party (the “Current Employer”) for employment by any other entity without the Current Employer’s prior consent. To “knowingly” solicit, recruit, hire, assist or facilitate, within the meaning of this provision, does not include, and therefore does not prohibit, solicitation, recruitment or hiring of a Current Employer employee by another entity if the Current Employer employee was identified solely as a result of the Current Employer employee’s response to a general advertisement in a publication of trade or industry interest or other similar general solicitation.

(c) Changes That Affect Obligations. To the extent practicable, the Fund agrees to provide BNYM with at least 30 days advance written notice of any new or modified feature, policy, operation, parameter or other aspect of the Fund’s business that could reasonably be expected to impact BNYM’s provision of the services (“Company Standards”). To the extent that any service or course of conduct of BNYM provided hereunder is configured or performed as it is in whole or in part due to Company Standards, standards imposed by clearing corporations or other industry-wide service bureaus or organizations, other generally accepted industry standards or practices, Fund parameters or policies, or laws, rules, regulations, orders or legal process in effect on the Effective Date and performance of the services in compliance with any new or amended provisions of any of the foregoing after the Effective Date BNYM requires BNYM to develop, implement or provide a new or modified service, process, procedure, resource or functionality (“New Service”), BNYM shall be obligated to develop and perform a New Service only in accordance with a written amendment to this Agreement entered into in its discretion. In the event BNYM develops and performs a New Service other than pursuant to a written amendment, it shall entitled to commercially reasonable fees and reimbursement of reasonable expenses for such development and performance, or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

(d) Captions. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

(e) Requested Information and Documentation. The Fund will provide in a timely manner such information and documentation as BNYM may reasonably request in connection with providing services under this Agreement and BNYM will not be liable for any Loss incurred by the Fund due to a failure or delay in providing such information or documentation.

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made in New York and governed by New York law, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act drafted by the National Conference Of Commissioners On Uniform State Laws, or a version thereof, or any law based on or similar to such Act (“UCITA”), if and as adopted by the jurisdiction whose laws govern with respect to this Agreement in any form, shall not apply to this Agreement or the activities contemplated hereby. To the extent UCITA is applicable notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree to opt out of the applicability of UCITA pursuant to the “opt out” provisions contained therein. The parties hereby waive any right they may have to trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving, directly or indirectly, any matter in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with, this Agreement.

(g) Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. In such case, the parties shall in good faith modify or substitute such provision consistent with the original intent of the parties.

(h) Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to those certain provisions providing for rights of the Custodian or obligations of the Fund with respect to the Custodian, and those certain provisions benefitting affiliates of the parties, this Agreement is not for the benefit of any other person or entity and (ii) there shall be no third party beneficiaries hereof.

(i) No Representations or Warranties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, BNYM hereby disclaims all representations and warranties, express or implied, made to the Fund or any other person, including, without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (irrespective of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade), of any services or any goods provided incidental to services provided under this Agreement. BNYM disclaims any warranty of title or non-infringement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(j) Customer Identification Program Notice. To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. Federal law requires each financial institution to obtain, verify, and record certain information that identifies each person who initially opens an account with that financial institution on or after October 1, 2003. Certain of BNYM’s affiliates are financial institutions, and BNYM may, as a matter of policy, request (or may have already requested) the name, address and taxpayer identification number or other government-issued identification number of the Fund or others, and, if such other is a natural person, that person’s date of birth. BNYM may also ask (and may have already asked) for additional identifying information, and BNYM may take steps (and may have already taken steps) to verify the authenticity and accuracy of these data elements.

(k) [reserved]

(l) [reserved]

(m) Requests to Transfer Information to Third Parties. In the event that the Fund, other than pursuant to a Standard Procedure, whether by Written Instructions, Fund Communications or otherwise, requests or instructs BNYM to send, deliver, mail, transmit or otherwise transfer to a third party which is not a subcontractor of BNYM and which is not the DTCC, NSCC or other SEC-registered clearing corporation, or to make available to such a third party for retrieval from within the BNYM System, any information in the BNYM System: BNYM may decline to provide the information requested on the terms contained in the request due to legal or regulatory concerns, transmission specifications not supported by BNYM, or other good faith reasons, but will in good faith discuss the request and attempt to accommodate the Fund with respect to the request, and BNYM will not be obligated to act on any such request unless it agrees in writing to the terms of the information transfer. In the event BNYM so agrees in writing to transfer information or make it available within the BNYM System: the Fund shall pay a reasonable fee for such activities upon being invoiced for same by BNYM; BNYM shall have no liability or duty with respect to such information after it releases the information or makes it available within the BNYM System, as the case may be, provided BNYM does not commit Liable Conduct when executing the express instructions of the written information transfer request; BNYM shall be entitled to the indemnification provided for at Section 12(a) pursuant to clause (b) in connection with the activities contemplated by any such written information transfer request, including for the avoidance of doubt third party claims; and BNYM may conclusively presume without a duty of independent verification that the Fund has received all applicable third party authorizations.

(n) Service Indemnifications; Survival. Any indemnification provided to BNYM by the Fund or to the Fund by BNYM in connection with any service provided under the Agreement, including by way of illustration and not limitation, indemnifications provided in connection with an Accepted Non-Standard Instruction and indemnifications contained in any agreements regarding an Exception Procedure (“Service Indemnifications”), shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, Sections 4, 5, 7, 10(d), (e), (g)—(i), 11, 12, 19(e), (i), (m), (n) and (s) and provisions necessary to the interpretation of such Sections and any Service Indemnifications and the enforcement of rights conferred by any of the foregoing shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In the event the Board of the Fund authorizes a liquidation of the Fund or termination of the Agreement, BNYM may require as a condition of any services provided in connection with such liquidation or termination that the Fund make provisions reasonably satisfactory to BNYM for the satisfaction of contingent liabilities outstanding at the time of the liquidation or termination.

(o) Compliance with Law. Each of BNYM and the Fund agrees to comply in all material respects with the respective laws, rules, regulations and legal process applicable to the operation of its business. For clarification: With respect to BNYM, the foregoing requires compliance with laws, rules, regulations and legal process applicable to BNYM directly, not derivatively by virtue of providing services to the Fund. The Fund agrees that BNYM is not obligated to assist the Fund with, or bring the Fund into, compliance with laws, rules, regulations and legal process applicable to the Fund, except where BNYM has expressly agreed to assume such an obligation hereunder and then it is obligated only to perform strictly in accordance with the express terms of the assumed obligation.

(p) Further Actions. Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

(q) Enterprise Nature of Services. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in furnishing the services provided for in this Agreement or any component or segment of such services BNYM may utilize any combination of its own employees, facilities, equipment, systems and other resources and the employees, facilities, equipment, systems and other resources of its Affiliates, including

Page 36

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

employees, facilities, equipment, systems and other resources shared by BNYM and its Affiliates, and BNYM may satisfy its obligations under this Agreement directly or through Affiliates. References to employees, facilities, equipment, systems or other resources of BNYM in this Agreement shall mean employees, facilities, equipment, systems or other resources of BNYM and its Affiliates considered collectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 19(q) shall have the effect of transferring any obligation of BNYM to any other entity, including Affiliates.

(r) Centralized Functions. The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation is a global financial organization that includes BNYM and provides services to clients through its affiliates and subsidiaries in multiple jurisdictions (the “BNY Mellon Group”). The BNY Mellon Group may centralize functions including audit, accounting, risk, legal, compliance, sales, administration, product communication, relationship management, storage, compilation and analysis of customer-related data, and other functions (the “Centralized Functions”) in one or more affiliates, subsidiaries and third-party service providers subject to confidentiality obligations comparable to those provided for herein (“third party service providers”). Solely in connection with the Centralized Functions: (i) the Fund consents to the disclosure of and authorizes BNYM to disclose information regarding the Fund to the BNY Mellon Group and to its third-party service providers, and (ii) BNYM may store the names and business addresses of the Fund’s employees on the systems or in the records of the BNY Mellon Group or its third party service providers.

(s) No Interpretation Against A Party. All parties to the Agreement have had access to and use of legal counsel to the extent each has deemed sufficient and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any claim or defense that this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, should be interpreted or construed against a party solely on the basis that the particular party drafted or was responsible for the drafting of the Agreement or a particular provision.

0.1 Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not defined in this Schedule C shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Main Agreement. Capitalized terms defined in this Schedule C shall have that meaning solely in this Schedule C and not in any other part of the Agreement unless expressly stated otherwise in a specific instance.

SECTION 2. LICENSED RIGHTS AND COMPANY OBLIGATIONS

2.1 Licensed Rights.

(a) (i) BNYM hereby grants to Company a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Licensed System in the United States through its employees (other than as expressly permitted otherwise by Section 2.1(a)(ii) below), solely in accordance with applicable Documentation, through the interfaces and telecommunication lines designated by BNYM, strictly for the internal business purposes of the Company, solely for Permitted Purposes and solely for so long as any applicable fees are paid by Company.

(ii) The license granted by Section 2.1(a)(i) includes, where such access and use is expressly contemplated by the Documentation applicable to a particular Component System to which the Company has been given access and use, the right to authorize persons not employees of the Company to access and use in the United States the specified Component System strictly in compliance with applicable Documentation, through the interfaces and telecommunication lines designated by BNYM, solely for Permitted Purposes and solely for so long as any applicable fees are paid by Company. Except with respect to Fund shareholders seeking to access IAM, to exercise the right contained in this Section 2.1(a)(ii) the Company must designate such persons to BNYM and approve them in a

Page 50

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

writing that conforms to the requirements of applicable Documentation and procedures of BNYM and furnish any information reasonably requested by BNYM. Access to IAM for Fund shareholders shall occur in accordance with the Documentation applicable to IAM. Upon the exercise by Company of the right contained in this Section 2.1(a)(ii), the term Company shall be redefined for all purposes of this Agreement to mean the Company and all Permitted Users, individually and collectively, unless in an individual case the context clearly requires that the definition be restricted solely to the Company. The Company shall be responsible and liable for compliance by Permitted Users with all applicable terms of the Agreement as if the Permitted Users were its own employees.

(iii) Company may not, and shall not, under any circumstances grant sublicenses to any right granted by this Section 2.1 or subcontract or delegate any right granted by this Section 2.1 or use the Licensed System to provide services to third parties, other than shareholders of its Funds, or for any other purpose other than that described in Sections 2.1(a)(i) and (ii).

(b) The grant of rights in this Section 2.1 shall be construed narrowly. No grant of license is made hereunder to Company or any other party, except the license to Company expressly provided in this Section 2.1. The rights granted by this Section 2.1 shall immediately terminate without further action required on anyone’s part, including without prior notification, upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement. BNYM and its licensors reserve all rights in the BNYM System not expressly granted to Company in this Section 2.1. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall be construed to give Company rights of any nature in source code. The rights granted to Company by this Section 2.1 are sometimes referred to herein as the “Licensed Rights”.

(c) For clarification:

Company may be given access to and use of a Listed System which contains integration points or links to one or more Support Functions that are part of a Listed System to which the Company has not been given access and use (“Linked Functions”). The Licensed Rights granted by this Section 2.1 to access and use a particular Listed System containing integration points or links to Linked Functions includes the right to access and use such Linked Functions, does not include the right to use the entire Listed System containing the Linked Functions or other subsystems, software, programs, applications, interfaces, processes, subprograms, series of commands or functions in that Listed System. To the extent exercise of Licensed Rights hereunder inadvertently or otherwise results in access to or use of a Component System or other system, subsystem, software, program, application, interface, process, subprogram, series of commands or function which is not part of the its Licensed System, all terms of this Agreement shall apply to such access and use.

2.2 Documentation. Company shall use the Licensed System solely and strictly in accordance and compliance with the Documentation provided or made available to Company by BNYM from time to time and any specifications contained therein. Company may use only the number of copies of the Documentation that are provided to Company and may not make any additional copies of such Documentation, except that Company may copy the Documentation to the extent reasonably necessary for routine backup and disaster recovery purposes and upon request of an applicable regulatory authority. Company shall pay BNYM such fees as it has established for copies of the Documentation, if any, as listed in the Fee Agreement.

2.3 Third Party Software and Services. Company acknowledges that Third Party Products may constitute part of the Licensed System. Company’s use of Third Party Products shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, access, use, maintenance and support of Third Party Products made available to Company after an applicable License Effective Date may be conditioned upon Company’s execution of an agreement with the applicable Third Party Provider (“Third Party Agreement”) which would provide for certain rights and obligations between the Company and the Third Party Provider (“Direct Third Party Product”), in which case the terms of the Third Party Agreement will also apply to Company’s use of the particular Third Party Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences of this Section 2.3, Company acknowledges that BNYM is not responsible for, nor does BNYM warrant the performance or other features of, nor can it fix errors or defects in, third party software and services and BNYM’s sole obligation with respect to third party software and services is to inform the third party of any errors, defects, deficiencies or other matters regarding the third party software and services of which BNYM is made aware by Company and to request and pursue in a commercially reasonable manner remediation of the errors, defects or deficiencies by the third party to the extent BNYM reasonably determines remediation to be available pursuant to the terms of BNYM’s agreement with the third party.

BNYM shall have no liability or responsibility for any Loss caused in whole or in part by the Company’s or a Permitted User’s exercise of the Licensed Rights or use of the Licensed System or by data or information of any nature inputted into the Licensed System by or under the direction or authorization of Company or a Permitted User; provided, however, this Section 2.5 shall not relieve BNYM of its obligation to act in accordance with its obligations under the Main Agreement. Company shall be responsible and solely liable for the cost or expense of regenerating any output or other remedial action if the Company, a Permitted User or an agent of either shall have failed to transmit properly and in the correct format any data or information, shall have transmitted erroneous or incorrect information or data, or shall have failed to timely verify or reconcile any such data or information when it is generated by the Licensed System (“Data Faults”).

(c) Company warrants that the data transmitted to the Licensed System by or under the direction or authorization of Company or Permitted Users will not disrupt, disable, harm, or otherwise impede in any manner the operation of the Licensed System or any associated software, firmware, hardware, or BNYM computer system or network.

(c) Unless Company obtains prior written permission from BNYM, Company shall permit only Authorized Persons to use Security Codes assigned to or selected by Company with respect to the Licensed System. The Security Codes shall constitute Confidential Information of both Company and BNYM under the Agreement subject to all obligations thereunder, and Company shall not permit access to Security Codes to any person other than Authorized Persons. Company shall notify BNYM immediately if Company has reason to believe that any person who is not an Authorized Person has obtained access to a Security Code or accessed or used the Licensed System, that an Authorized Person has accessed or used the Licensed System using Security Codes not assigned to that Authorized Person, that any other loss of confidentiality with respect to a Security Code has occurred or the security of the Licensed System has otherwise been breached.

(d) Company shall verify and confirm all information it enters on the Licensed System and shall notify BNYM of any error in any information it has entered on the Licensed System as soon as practicable following Company’s knowledge of such error.

(e) Company will not recirculate, redistribute or otherwise retransmit or re-rout the Licensed System to any third party or authorize the use of any information included on the Licensed System on any equipment or display not authorized by BNYM without BNYM’s prior express written approval.

Schedule D

  Dated: October 1, 2014

The Bank of New York Mellon

Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx

New York, New York 10286

Re: Letter Agreement Relating to the Demand Deposit Accounts Established by BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. at The Bank of New York Mellon for the Benefit of the Fund

Dear Sirs:

This Schedule D constitutes Schedule D to the “TA Agreement”, which is hereby defined to mean the Transfer Agency And Shareholder Services Agreement, dated as of the date indicated above, between BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNYM”) and each investment company listed on the signature page to such agreement (each, a “Fund”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Schedule D shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the TA Agreement.

Each Fund is party to a Custody Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank”) dated as of October 1, 2014. Such Custody Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, is referred to herein with respect to each Investment Company, and each Fund, as the “Custody Agreement”.

The TA Agreement provides, among other things, for BNYM to provide cash administration services to a Fund, utilizing one or more demand deposit accounts or other accounts established at the Bank in the name of BNYM for the benefit of the Fund, either alone or together with other Funds (the “DDA”). In particular, BNYM will utilize the DDAs (i) to accept payments for the purchase of Fund Shares and forward such payments once funds have been collected to the Bank for deposit into the custody account of a Fund established with the Bank pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Account”); and (ii) in connection with redemptions of Fund Shares by Fund shareholders and with cash distributions effected by a Fund, such as dividend payments and capital gains distributions, to accept monies from the Bank drawn from the Custody Account and to remit such amounts to appropriate parties.

In connection with BNYM’s performance of transfer agency services and in particular the cash administration services described above, BNYM may be notified of a Fund payment obligation that BNYM as transfer agent is expected to satisfy, such as a same-day settlement obligation with the NSCC, by forwarding payment to the NSCC or other obligee but the amount required to satisfy the particular payment obligation of a Fund may exceed the amount of funds then available for transfer in the relevant DDAs (such excess amount if transferred by BNYM being hereinafter referred to as an “Overdraft Amount”).

The need to transfer an Overdraft Amount may occur due to any one or more of the transfer needs of a Fund that arise in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, such as, by way of illustration, and not limitation: transfers needed in order to satisfy the Fund’s same day settlement obligations with the NSCC; and purchase payments being forwarded to the Custody Account one day after receipt while the check representing the payment takes more than one day to clear.

Each Fund, on its own behalf, and not on behalf of any other Fund, acknowledges, consents and agrees with the statements made above and as follows:

Overdraft Amounts shall constitute overdrafts, outstanding indebtedness and an outstanding obligation of the Fund under the Custody Agreement and shall be deemed to be a loan made by the Bank to the Fund.

Page 69

Confidential And Proprietary Execution Version

The Fund agrees that the Bank shall at no time be under any obligation whatsoever to extend credit in connection with the transfer agency activities conducted by BNYM on behalf of the Fund and in particular the cash administration activities described herein, including without limitation an extension of credit constituting an Overdraft Amount, even if it has done so as part of a regular pattern of conduct, and that the Bank may at any time in its sole discretion and without notice decline to continue or re-extend any such credit.

Notwithstanding the absence of an obligation to do so, the Bank may in its sole discretion elect to transfer on behalf of the Fund an amount of funds that constitutes an Overdraft Amount and that by electing to transfer funds constituting an Overdraft Amount the Bank does not, even if it has transferred funds constituting Overdraft Amounts as part of a regular pattern of conduct in the past, waive any rights under this letter agreement or assume the obligation it has expressly disclaimed in the immediately preceding paragraph and the Bank may at any time in its sole discretion and without notice decline to continue to make such transfers of Overdraft Amounts.

The Fund is at all times obligated to pay to the Bank an amount of money equal to the Overdraft Amounts relating to the Fund and such amounts are payable, and shall be paid, together with such accrued interest as may be charged by the Bank in accordance with the Custody Agreement, by the Fund immediately upon demand by the Bank, except that to the extent the Fund repays outstanding Overdraft Amounts and any accrued interest to BNYM pursuant to Section 9(c)(iv) of the TA Agreement, the Fund’s obligation to repay that amount to the Bank pursuant to this letter agreement shall be deemed satisfied

In order to secure repayment of Overdraft Amounts relating to the Fund, the Fund agrees that the Bank shall to the maximum extent permitted by law have a continuing lien, security interest, security entitlement and right of setoff in and to any property, including without limitation, any investment property or any financial asset, of the Fund at any time held by the Bank for the benefit of the Fund or in which the Fund may have an interest which is then in the Bank’s possession or control or in possession or control of any third party acting on the Bank’s behalf. In addition, at any time when the Fund shall not have honored any of its obligations, the Bank shall have the right without notice to the Fund to retain or set-off, against such obligations, any cash the Bank may directly or indirectly hold for the account of the Fund, and any obligations (whether matured or unmatured) that the Bank may have to the Fund.

This letter agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Fund, constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and no statute, regulation, rule, order, judgment or contract binding on the Fund prohibits its execution or performance of this agreement.

This letter agreement shall be construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of a state or federal court situated in New York City, New York in connection with any dispute arising hereunder. The parties hereby waive any right to trial by jury they may have in any action or proceeding involving, directly or indirectly, any matter in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with, this letter agreement.

A Custodied Fund (as defined below) that, after the Effective Date, is added to the TA Agreement by virtue of Section 19(l) of the TA Agreement and thereby becomes a party to the TA Agreement shall automatically and without further action by any party become a party to this letter agreement as a “Fund”. “Custodied Fund” means each investment company which is party to a custody agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon pursuant to which assets of the investment company are held in custody.
