The parties hereby agree that:

“Unless terminated pursuant to its terms, this Agreement shall continue until February 20, 2016 (the “Initial Term”).”
3. | For clarity, as of the effective date of this Amendment the Agreement shall be deemed to be in its “Initial Term” (as defined in Section 2 above) rather than in a “Renewal Term”. |

“(vii) | Prepare and coordinate the filing of any annual Post-Effective Amendments and supplements (no more than four (4) supplements per year) to the Fund’s Registration Statement (not including the creation of a series or class); provide financial data required in the prospectus and statement of additional information to the extent |
such financial data has been prepared by or is in the possession of BNY Mellon; prepare and file (or coordinate the filing of) (i) semi-annual reports on Form N-SAR and (ii) Notices pursuant to Rule 24f-2.
