BNY Mellon intends to perform the services under this Agreement from (a) the facilities that TRP has dedicated for use by BNY Mellon to perform the services and (b) various of the locations listed or described in Schedule III (the “Service Locations”).

(d) BNY Mellon shall not provide any services relating to the management, investment advisory or sub-advisory functions of any Fund, distribution of shares of any Fund or other services normally performed by the Funds’ respective counsel or independent auditors and the services provided by BNY Mellon do not constitute, nor shall they be construed as constituting, legal advice or the provision of legal services for or on behalf of a Fund or any other person, and each Fund acknowledges that BNY Mellon does not provide public accounting or auditing services or advice and will not be making any tax filings, or doing any tax reporting on its behalf, other than those specifically agreed to hereunder.

Within a reasonable period of time after any such request relating to any new service, BNY Mellon will provide a proposal to the Fund in writing setting forth the terms under which BNY Mellon is willing to provide such new service. BNY Mellon and the Fund shall negotiate in good faith with respect to each proposal for new services, provided that the Fund shall not be required to accept such proposal. Similarly, with respect to the money market fund reforms announced by the SEC in 2014, the parties hereto agree to review
13
such reforms and negotiate in good faith any related new services or increases in the scope of services provided under this Agreement as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Additionally, BNY Mellon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop modifications to the method of delivery of services provided hereunder and to the systems utilized in connection therewith to keep pace with prevailing industry practices for its fund accounting clients generally.

BNY Mellon shall not be obligated to provide any new service or increase in the scope of services hereunder unless and until the parties have agreed to the terms applicable to such new service or increase in scope.
(f) Each Fund shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, advisors, independent auditors and accountants, transfer agent and any other service providers hired by the Fund to, cooperate with BNY Mellon and to provide BNY Mellon, upon reasonable request, with such information, documents and advice relating to such Fund as is within the possession or knowledge of such persons, and which BNY Mellon has informed the Fund in writing that it reasonably believes is necessary in order to enable BNY Mellon to perform its duties hereunder. In connection with its duties hereunder, BNY Mellon shall not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into, or be deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy, validity or propriety of any information, documents or advice provided to BNY Mellon by any of the aforementioned persons, as long as BNY Mellon utilized the data as contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise instructed by an Authorized Person. BNY Mellon shall not bear, or otherwise be responsible for, any fees, costs or expenses charged by any third party service providers engaged by a Fund, or by any affiliate of such Fund or by any other third party service provider to such Fund. In the event that any services performed by BNY Mellon hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information obtained from a third party service utilized or
14
subscribed to by BNY Mellon which BNY Mellon in its reasonable judgment deems reliable, so long as the selection of the applicable third party service provider was made in good faith and did not involve any XXX Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, XXX Xxxxxx shall not have any responsibility or liability for, be under any duty to inquire into, or be deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information.
(h) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict BNY Mellon, any BNY Mellon Affiliate or any officer or employee thereof from acting for or with any third parties, and providing services similar or identical to some or all of the services provided hereunder, provided, however, BNY Mellon shall not use Confidential Information (as defined at Section 18) of the Fund in providing such services.
(i) Each Fund shall furnish BNY Mellon with any and all Instructions, explanations, information, specifications, Documents and documentation deemed necessary by BNY Mellon in the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the amounts or written formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of Fund liabilities and expenses (including fee waivers and rebates, expense repayments and reimbursement amounts), and the value of any securities lending related collateral investment account(s) (with the exception of Funds held within such cash collateral investment account(s) and receiving services hereunder), the amounts receivable and the amounts payable on the sale or purchase of securities, and the amounts receivable or the amounts payable for the sale or redemption of Fund Shares effected by or on behalf of a Fund, and BNY Mellon shall be entitled to rely fully on and shall have no duty or obligation for the accuracy, validity or propriety thereof. BNY Mellon shall not be required to include as Fund liabilities and expenses, nor as a reduction of Net Asset Value, any accrual for any federal, state or foreign income taxes except as expressly required pursuant to the SLDs or unless the Fund shall have specified to BNY Mellon in Instructions the amount of or formula to compute the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce Net Asset Value. In the event BNY Mellon’s computations hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information, including, without limitation, bid, offer or market values of securities or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings thereon, from a security pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by BNY Mellon and which BNY Mellon in its judgment deems reliable at the time such information is required for
15
calculations hereunder or which the Fund directs BNY Mellon to utilize, BNY Mellon shall
16
not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into (except as expressly required pursuant to the SLDs), or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information as long as BNY Mellon utilized the data as contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise instructed by an Authorized Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BNY Mellon shall not be required to inquire into any valuation of securities or other assets by a Fund or any third party described in this sub-section (f) even though BNY Mellon in performing services similar to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement for others may receive different valuations of the same or different securities of the same issuers. BNY Mellon will notify the Fund when bid, offer or market values for a security are not available to BNY Mellon and such Fund shall then furnish BNY Mellon with bid, offer or market values for such security as applicable. At any time and from time to time, the Fund also may furnish BNY Mellon with bid, offer or market values of securities and instruct BNY Mellon in Instructions to use such information in its calculations hereunder. In connection therewith, BNY Mellon shall at no time be required or obligated to commence or maintain any subscriptions to any securities pricing or similar service but may be required to utilize a pricing or similar service if required by TRP or the Fund’s Board pursuant to an agreement between the Fund or TRP and the securities pricing service vendor. In no event shall BNY Mellon be required to determine, or have any obligations with respect to, whether a market price represents any fair or true value, nor to adjust any price to reflect any events or announcements, including, without limitation, those with respect to the issuer thereof, it being agreed that all such determinations and considerations shall be solely for the applicable Fund and such Fund’s Valuation Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BNY Mellon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Fund of events, announcements, issuer information, or other market news of which it becomes aware for consideration by the Fund’s Valuation Committee.

BNY Mellon will own all such aggregated data. In the event that the BNY Mellon Group desires to aggregate the Fund’s data for the purpose of products offered to the BNY Mellon Group’s clients, BNY Mellon will provide a proposal to the Fund in writing setting forth the data that the BNY Mellon Group desires to aggregate and the proposed use of the aggregated data, and the BNY Mellon Group will not aggregate and/or use such aggregated data in such manner without the Fund’s prior written consent.

(h) BNY Mellon may consult with counsel to the appropriate Fund, at such Fund’s expense, and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith and without BNY Mellon Misconduct in accordance with the advice or opinion of such Fund counsel.
(i) BNY Mellon shall be responsible for determining in accordance with U.S. tax laws and regulations: (i) the taxable nature of any distribution or amount received or deemed received by, or payable to, a Fund and (ii) the taxable nature or effect on a Fund or its shareholders of any corporate actions, class actions, tax reclaims, tax refunds or similar events (each, a “BNYM Tax Determination”) and agrees to process such securities or events in accordance with the BNYM Tax Determination unless instructed otherwise by TRP through the Escalation Process described immediately below. BNY Mellon and TRP shall put in place mutually agreed upon procedures as part of the SLD that outline the circumstances under which BNY Mellon is required to alert TRP regarding a BNYM Tax Determination. TRP shall have the right in those circumstances to instruct BNY Mellon to process a security or an event differently than the BNYM Tax Determination for a Fund or Funds (the “Escalation Process”). BNY Mellon is not responsible for the identification of securities requiring U.S. tax treatment that differs from treatment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, BNY Mellon shall not be responsible for determining the taxable nature or taxable amount of any Fund level distribution or dividend, or the effect under any federal, state or foreign income tax laws of a Fund making or not making any Fund level distribution or dividend payment, or any election with respect thereto.
(j) Subject to the terms of Section 2, BNY Mellon shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and Schedule I including SLDs attached hereto. Subject to the terms of Section 3(b)(viii), no covenant or obligation shall be implied against BNY Mellon in connection with this Agreement.
(k) BNY Mellon, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining whether any interest accruable to a Fund is or will be actually paid, but will accrue such interest until otherwise instructed by such Fund.
19
(l) BNY Mellon shall enter into and shall maintain in effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. In the event of equipment failures, BNY Mellon shall, at no additional expense to the applicable Fund, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions. BNY Mellon 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 XXX Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx.
(x) XXX Xxxxxx agrees to provide an annual report (Service Organization Control Report SOC 1SM1
1 SOC 1 is a service xxxx of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which reserves all rights.
) (“SOC 1SM Report”) issued under the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (“SSAE 16”) or International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3402 (“ISAE 3402”) or other similar standard in place from time to time covering the preceding 12-month period (with the first such period commencing October 1, 2015 and ending September 30, 2016), by a globally recognized firm qualified to perform such audits, and will use reasonable efforts to provide such within sixty (60) calendar days of the applicable period end date. The SOC 1SM Report shall be a multi-client SOC 1SM type 2 which shall cover services, systems, infrastructure and the ongoing maintenance of control documentation for all common processes controlled and performed by BNY Mellon for which such audits are then currently performed. Such SOC 1SM Report will not cover services, systems, infrastructure or the ongoing maintenance of control documentation for common processes for which TRP is responsible. With respect to any period of less than twelve (12) months prior to September 30, 2015 during which BNY Mellon is providing services hereunder, such period shall be covered by TRP’s annual Service Organization Control Report SOC 1SM, and the Fund shall obtain such report from TRP. Each SOC 1SM Report provided by BNY Mellon shall contain a certification from BNY Mellon’s auditor that specifically addresses (i) review of BNY Mellon’s internal controls as they relate to a user organization’s financial statement assertions and (ii) the processing locations used in providing the services as they relate to a user organization’s financial statement assertions. Upon the Fund’s reasonable request, BNY Mellon shall deliver to the Fund a bridge letter from an appropriate officer or representative of BNY Mellon stating20
that, to the best of such persons’ knowledge, there have been no changes to BNY Mellon’s internal controls, as described in the preceding SOC 1SM Report and as reviewed by BNY Mellon’s Independent Auditors in conjunction with their Independent Service Auditor’s Report, which would materially or adversely affect the internal control environment; provided, however that if any such changes have occurred, BNY Mellon and the Fund shall promptly meet with BNY Mellon’s auditors to discuss such change. The Fund may provide a copy of such SOC 1SM Report to its external auditors, provided that such auditors are required to maintain the confidentiality of such SOC 1SM Report and any related information. The requirements of BNY Mellon in this Section 5(m) shall apply to any standards that supersede or supplement SSAE 16 or ISAE 3402.
(n) In the event that (i) the conversion of all of the services from TRP’s systems to BNY Mellon’s systems is not substantially completed by the date that is two (2) years from the Effective Date and the Fund does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(c)(v), or (ii) TRP ceases to provide in all material respects, prior to the date that is two (2) years from the Effective Date, the support and/or resources under the Middle Office Services Agreement reasonably necessary for BNY Mellon to perform such conversion and/or provide the services under this Agreement; upon the request of BNY Mellon, the Fund and BNY Mellon shall negotiate in good faith to assign or terminate this Agreement to effectuate the provision of services in an alternate manner from an alternative service provider (a “Service Alternative”); provided, that BNY Mellon shall continue to provide the services pursuant to this Agreement until an agreement with respect to a Service Alternative is reached and BNY Mellon shall then provide reasonable assistance to the Fund in connection with the transition to the Service Alternative.
6. Allocation of Expenses.
Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses arising or incurred in connection with the performance of this Agreement shall be paid by the appropriate Fund.
7. Standard of Care; Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.
21
BNY Mellon shall be liable to the Fund for any and all costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and claims (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of investigation and enforcement and the costs, expenses and fees of attorneys
22
(b) and accountants) (“Liabilities”) sustained or incurred by the Fund and any Fund Affiliate, its officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns and amounts paid in settlement in accordance with this Section 7 only to the extent such Liabilities arise out of the negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, fraud or recklessness of BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate in the performance or omission of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement (collectively, “BNY Mellon Misconduct”). The parties acknowledge that there may be instances where such Liabilities arise out of BNY Mellon’s performance of its duties or obligations under this Agreement but it is unclear as to whether such Liabilities were caused by BNY Mellon Misconduct (“Potential Liabilities”) and in such cases the parties shall use good faith efforts to determine appropriate means for addressing such Potential Liabilities, including the extent, if any, to which it is appropriate for BNY Mellon to assume all or a portion of such Potential Liabilities in light of relevant facts and circumstances.
(c) BNY Mellon shall not be responsible for Liabilities (including without limitation damages caused by delays, failure, errors, interruption or loss of data) or for failure to perform (or delay in performing) its obligations which occur by reason of circumstances beyond its reasonable control in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an event of natural disaster, casualty, elements of nature, acts of God, riots, terrorism, war, or such other event of similar nature that is beyond the reasonable control of BNY Mellon (excluding labor disputes or strikes directed at BNY Mellon), non-performance by a third party not hired or otherwise selected by BNY Mellon to provide services in connection with this Agreement, failure of the mails, communications or computer (hardware or software) services or functions or malfunctions of the internet, firewalls, encryption systems or security devices caused by any of the above (a “Force Majeure Event”). BNY Mellon shall not be responsible for delays or failures to supply the information or services specified in this Agreement where such delays or failures are caused by the failure of any person(s) other than BNY Mellon or a person retained by BNY Mellon to provide services under this Agreement. In any such event, BNY Mellon will use commercially reasonable efforts including, upon declaration of a disaster, those described in their disaster recovery and business continuity plans referenced in Section 3(b)(x), to continue to perform, to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent reasonably possible without delay, and to mitigate the impact of its non-
23
performance notwithstanding the occurrence of such event; provided that, if a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders or delays performance of the services contemplated by this Agreement by more than ninety (90) days and has a material adverse impact on the continuing operations of the Fund, then the Fund may, by giving BNY Mellon at least five (5) days prior written notice, terminate this Agreement (a “Force Majeure Termination”). In addition, in the event that the Fund reasonably believes that a Force Majeure Event will substantially prevent, hinder or delay performance of the services contemplated by this Agreement for more than five (5) consecutive calendar days, the Fund may take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate the impact of such services not being provided, including, but not limited to, contracting with another service provider to provide such services during such period and/or engaging TRP to perform such services in-house during such period; provided, that the Fund shall consult with BNY Mellon in good faith in connection with any such mitigation and BNY Mellon shall provide the Fund reasonable assistance in good faith in connection therewith; provided, further, that BNY Mellon shall resume providing, and the Fund shall pay for, such services when BNY Mellon resumes providing, unless the Fund has terminated this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 7(b), (i) in no event shall the Funds be obligated to pay any fees under this Agreement to BNY Mellon with respect to any services not actually provided during any such Force Majeure Event and (ii) the Funds shall have no responsibility to pay BNY Mellon for services temporarily performed by the Investment Adviser or a third party.
(e) The Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless BNY Mellon from and against any and all third party Liabilities which are sustained or incurred by BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate or any of their officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns only to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of (i) the performance of BNY Mellon’s duties and/or obligations, under this Agreement (including any action taken or omitted to be taken by BNY Mellon in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of counsel for the Fund) except to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of (x) any material breach of this Agreement by BNY Mellon or (y) BNY Mellon Misconduct; (ii) errors existing in the Fund’s records prior to the Effective Date; (iii) action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by BNY Mellon pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of any Instructions; and (iv) the Fund’s own negligence, bad faith, willful
24
misconduct or fraud, including any improper use by the Fund of any valuations or computations supplied by BNY Mellon pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Fund acknowledges and agrees that BNY Mellon may apply to an Authorized Person of the Fund for Instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with BNY Mellon’s performance hereunder for such Fund. Such application for Instructions may, at the option of BNY Mellon, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by BNY Mellon with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken. Without limiting the foregoing and unless there is XXX Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, XXX Xxxxxx shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified therein unless, prior to taking or omitting to take any such action, BNY Mellon has received Instructions from an Authorized Person in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.
(g) BNY Mellon shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from and against any and all third party Liabilities which are sustained or incurred by the Fund or any Fund Affiliate or their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns (which, for purposes of this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any other Funds that invest in the indemnified Fund), only to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of any material breach of this Agreement by BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate or by any BNY Mellon Misconduct.
(h) (i) In the event of a claim against a party (“Claim”) related to Liabilities for which such party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the party obligated to indemnify such claim (the “Indemnifying Party”) as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that any failure by the Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to indemnify under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual prejudice as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party all reasonably available information requested by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
25
(ii) Within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Indemnified Party’s notice of a Claim, but (to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances) no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any formal response to the Claim is due, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing as to whether the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense of the claim with respect to the Indemnified Party and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and permitted assigns (a “Notice of Election”).
(iii) If the Indemnifying Party timely delivers a Notice of Election to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, conduct the defense of the Claim and, consistent with the rights of Indemnified Party under this Agreement, all negotiations for settlement of the Claim, subject to the following:
(1) The Indemnified Party shall cooperate, at the cost of the Indemnifying Party, in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.
(2) The Indemnified Party may participate in said defense and/or negotiations to protect its interests at the Indemnified Party’s cost and expense.
(3) Neither any settlement of a Claim that involves a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party, nor any admission regarding the Indemnified Party’s interests, shall be entered into by the Indemnifying Party, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(iv) If the Indemnifying Party does not timely deliver a Notice of Election, the Indemnified Party may defend and/or settle the Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that no settlement of a Claim that involves the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party or any admission regarding the Indemnifying Party’s interests shall be entered into by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(v) If the Indemnified Party brings an action against the Indemnifying Party to enforce the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Section 7, and the
26
Indemnified Party prevails in such action, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Section 7.
(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7 (except as expressly stated otherwise in the NAV Error Policy), BNY Mellon agrees to be liable to the Fund in accordance with the terms of Schedule II (NAV Error Policy). The parties understand that there may be investors and beneficial owners who hold shares of the Fund through an intermediary, including but not limited to banks, broker-dealers, other Funds and defined contribution plan recordkeepers (collectively referred to as “Intermediaries”). Such Intermediaries will maintain one or more accounts directly with the Fund on behalf of investors or beneficial owners (e.g., defined contribution plan participants). If there is either a delay in delivery of a Fund’s NAV or a Material NAV Error arising out of BNY Mellon Misconduct, it is acknowledged there may be Liabilities sustained by such Intermediaries, which, if they had been sustained or incurred by the Fund, would be the type of Liabilities for which BNY Mellon would have been liable under this Agreement (“Covered Liabilities”). In the event an Intermediary claims the Fund or TRP must reimburse it for such Covered Liabilities, BNY Mellon shall be liable to the Fund, TRP or the Intermediary directly for such Covered Liabilities, provided that the Fund or TRP has taken all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Covered Liabilities.
(j) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, no party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages sustained or incurred by such other party arising out of, concerning or relating to the performance of such party’s duties and/or obligations under this Agreement, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action, except to the extent arising out of such party’s own gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, fraud or recklessness. For purposes of this Section 7(g), the parties acknowledge that any and all Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Party arising out of Claims with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 are not and shall not be deemed to be indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages.
27
8. Compensation.
For the services provided hereunder, each Fund agrees to pay BNY Mellon such compensation and out of pocket expenses as are set forth in Schedule IV attached hereto or otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by such Fund and BNY Mellon from time to time. Except for those amounts (a) expressly approved by the Funds in writing to BNY Mellon or (b) set forth in Schedule IV attached hereto, the Funds shall not be obligated to pay any other fees or expenses in connection with BNY Mellon performing the services under this Agreement. Except as hereinafter set forth or as otherwise set forth in Schedule IV attached hereto, compensation shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly. Each Fund may authorize BNY Mellon to debit such Fund’s custody account for all amounts due and payable hereunder, provided that any such authorization shall be provided in the Fund’s sole discretion in writing and shall only be valid for the time period and to the extent expressly set forth therein. In the event that the Fund authorizes any such debiting, BNY Mellon shall deliver to each Fund invoices for services rendered after debiting such Fund’s custody account with an indication that payment has been made. Upon termination of this Agreement before the end of any month, the compensation for such part of a month shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining compensation payable to BNY Mellon, each Fund’s Net Asset Value shall be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Fund’s Offering Materials.
9. Records; Visits.
(a) The Books and Records (as defined below) pertaining to each Fund and such Fund’s Series which are in the possession or under the control of BNY Mellon shall be the property of the Fund. The Fund and Authorized Persons shall have access to such Books and Records at all times during BNY Mellon’s normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Fund, copies of any such Books and Records shall be provided by BNY Mellon to the Fund or to an Authorized Person, with the expense associated therewith to be borne as mutually agreed upon between the parties hereto.
(b) BNY Mellon shall keep all books and records related to the services provided to the Fund hereunder, including with respect to each Fund’s books of account,
28
records of each Fund’s securities transactions, that BNY Mellon is required to maintain pursuant to Rule 31a-1 of the 1940 Act in connection with the services provided hereunder (“Books and Records”) for the period required by applicable Securities Laws. If a Fund desires to retain any such Books and Records longer than the period set forth in this Section 9, then upon written notice of the Fund’s desire to retain such Books and Records, BNY Mellon shall cooperate with the Fund by providing any such requested Books and Records to the Fund.
10. Term of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall be effective on the date first written above and, unless terminated pursuant to its terms, shall continue until 11:59 PM (Eastern time) on the date which is the tenth (10th) anniversary of such date (the “Initial Term”), at which time this Agreement shall terminate, unless renewed in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms of one (1) year each (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless the Fund or BNY Mellon gives written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew and such notice is received by the other party not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term (a "Non-Renewal Notice"). In the event a party provides a Non-Renewal Notice, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Fund at 11:59 PM (Eastern time) on the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.
(c) Termination for Convenience.
The Fund may terminate this Agreement for any reason whatsoever in its sole and absolute discretion by delivering a termination notice to BNY Mellon at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the effective date of termination, provided that the Fund shall pay BNY Mellon, as BNY Mellon’s sole and exclusive remedy for such a termination for convenience, the applicable termination fee calculated pursuant to Schedule V; further provided, however, there shall be no payment of a penalty or termination fee for the following:
(i) where such termination for convenience is required by a governmental authority, and in such case, the notice period shall be reduced as necessary to meet the requirements of such governmental authority;
29
(ii) if the Fund is liquidated, effective as of the liquidation date;
(iii) effective upon the effective date of any merger or reorganization of the Fund with or into another fund advised by TRP (other than in connection with an acquisition or merger of TRP into, with or by another entity that results in the termination of this Agreement by the Fund and the replacement of BNY Mellon by another third party service provider in the provision of services similar to those provided in this Agreement);
(iv) termination by the Fund if the Board reasonably determines, in good faith, that an event that has occurred with respect to BNY Mellon that the Board reasonably believes would cause a material adverse effect on BNY Mellon's ability to perform its duties and/or obligations under this Agreement and that the failure to terminate this Agreement would cause the Board to be in breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable law; provided that the Board has provided written notice to BNY Mellon of its intent to terminate the agreement pursuant to this provision, which notice shall specify the basis for such determination, and provided that the events giving rise to such termination notice have not been cured within sixty (60) calendar days following such notice to BNY Mellon; and further provided that no such determination to terminate shall be based in whole or in part on the compensation paid to BNY Mellon pursuant to this Agreement;
(v) in the event that the conversion of all of the services from TRP’s systems to BNY Mellon’s systems is not substantially completed by the date that is two (2) years from the Effective Date, upon at least one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior notice to BNY Mellon; provided, that to the extent the failure to substantially complete the conversion is caused by BNY Mellon such termination shall be treated as a termination for cause and the Fund shall be entitled to recover damages (including the recovery of platform fees previously charged to the Funds pursuant to this Agreement) and be reimbursed for Costs and Expenses (as defined below) only to the extent such failure was caused by BNY Mellon;
(vi) if BNY Mellon is subject to a Regulatory Event; “Regulatory Event” is defined with respect to BNY Mellon as any governmental or regulatory action that limits, suspends, or terminates the rights, privileges or operation of BNY Mellon in a manner that would result in a material adverse effect on the ability of BNY Mellon to perform its duties and/or obligations under this Agreement or any governmental or regulatory investigation
30
determined against BNY Mellon that would result in a material adverse effect on the ability of BNY Mellon to perform its duties and/or obligations under this Agreement;
(vii) a Force Majeure Termination; or
(viii) upon the occurrence of a Specified Convenience Event.
(d) The Fund’s Termination for Cause.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Fund and BNY Mellon in writing, the Fund in its sole and absolute discretion may, by delivering a termination notice to BNY Mellon at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of termination, terminate this Agreement for cause (and without the payment by the Fund of a termination fee or penalty) if BNY Mellon:
(i) commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of any termination notice from the Fund;
(ii) commits a material breach of this Agreement which is not capable of being cured within a ninety (90) calendar day period;
(iii) commits numerous or repeated breaches of its duties and/or obligations under this Agreement, which, regardless of whether they have been or could be cured, collectively constitute a material breach of this Agreement;
(iv) commits a Specified Cause Event; or
(v) is subject to an Act of Insolvency; “Act of Insolvency” is defined as: (i) the commencement by BNY Mellon as debtor of any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar law, or BNY Mellon seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official for BNY Mellon or substantial part of its property; (ii) the appointment of a receiver, conservator, or manager for BNY Mellon by any government agency or authority having the jurisdiction to do so; (iii) the commencement of any such case or proceeding against BNY Mellon, which (a) is consented to or not timely contested by BNY Mellon, (b) results in the entry of an order for relief, such an appointment, the issuance of such a protective decree or the entry of an order having a similar effect, or (c) is not dismissed within 60 days; (iv) the making or offering by BNY Mellon of a composition with its creditors or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (v) the admission by BNY Mellon of its inability to
31
pay its debts or discharge its obligations as they become due or mature; or (vi) any governmental authority or agency or any person, agency or entity acting under governmental authority shall have taken any action to condemn, seize or appropriate, or to assume custody or control of, all or any substantial part of the property of BNY Mellon.
(e) BNY Mellon’s Termination for Cause
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Fund(s) and BNY Mellon in writing, BNY Mellon in its sole and absolute discretion may, by delivering a termination notice to the applicable Fund(s) at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the effective date of termination, terminate this Agreement for cause (and without the payment of a termination fee or penalty by BNY Mellon) with respect to a Fund or Funds only if such Fund(s):
(i) fails to make payments due hereunder when due, which failure remains uncured for thirty (30) calendar days after the date of any notice from BNY Mellon of such failure unless being contested in good faith, or
(ii) is subject to an Act of Insolvency; “Act of Insolvency” is defined as: (i) the commencement by such Fund(s) as debtor of any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar law, or such Fund(s) seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official for such Fund(s) or substantial part of its property; (ii) the appointment of a receiver, conservator, or manager for such Fund(s) by any government agency or authority having the jurisdiction to do so; (iii) the commencement of any such case or proceeding against such Fund(s), which (a) is consented to or not timely contested by such Fund(s), (b) results in the entry of an order for relief, such an appointment, the issuance of such a protective decree or the entry of an order having a similar effect, or (c) is not dismissed within 60 days; (iv) the making or offering by such Fund(s) of a composition with its creditors or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (v) the admission by such Fund(s) of its inability to pay its debts or discharge its obligations as they become due or mature; or (vi) any governmental authority or agency or any person, agency or entity acting under governmental authority shall have taken any action to condemn, seize or appropriate, or to assume custody or control of, all or any substantial part of the property of such Fund(s).
32
For the avoidance of doubt, terminating this Agreement for cause by BNY Mellon with respect to one Fund shall not have any effect on the obligations of BNY Mellon to any other Fund under this Agreement.
(f) Costs and Expenses of Termination
If a Fund terminates this Agreement with respect to such Fund at any time pursuant to Section 10(c)(v), 10(c)(vi) or 10(d) above, then BNY Mellon shall reimburse such Fund for any Costs and Expenses incurred by such Fund in connection with converting such Fund to a successor service provider (including TRP, if applicable), including without limitation the delivery to such successor service provider, such Fund and/or other of the Fund’s service providers any of such Fund’s property, records, data, instruments and documents; provided, that, with respect to a termination pursuant to Section 10(c)(v), BNY Mellon shall be required to reimburse the Fund for such Costs and Expenses only to the extent that the failure to substantially complete the conversion of all of the services from TRP’s systems to BNY Mellon’s systems is caused by BNY Mellon. For purposes of this Section 10(f), “Costs and Expenses” shall mean any actual, provable, reasonable, customary and direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Fund. Costs and Expenses shall not include, and in no event shall BNY Mellon be liable under this Agreement for, any lift-out expenses or platform development costs for the successor service provider or any wind-down costs of the Fund or any Fund Affiliate, including, without limitation, non-cancelable payments or termination charges regarding hosting and/or any other subcontracted services. The Fund must provide BNY Mellon with written evidence of the Costs and Expenses before BNY Mellon is obligated to pay them. The Fund also has a duty to mitigate, and must exercise its duty to mitigate, such Costs and Expenses.
11. Amendment.
This Agreement may not be amended, changed or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by BNY Mellon and the Fund to be bound thereby, and authorized or approved by such Fund’s Board.
33
12. Assignment; Subcontracting.
(a) Except as expressly provided in Section 12(b) below, this Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable, whether by merger, operation of law or otherwise, by any Fund without the written consent of BNY Mellon, or by BNY Mellon without the written consent of the affected Fund, in each case which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, and their permitted successors and assigns.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) BNY Mellon may assign or transfer this Agreement to any BNY Mellon 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 BNY Mellon gives the relevant Funds ninety (90) days' prior written notice of such assignment or transfer and such assignment or transfer does not impair the provision of services under this Agreement in any material respect, and the assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all terms of this Agreement in place of BNY Mellon; (ii) BNY Mellon may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to any BNY Mellon Affiliate with respect to the performance of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNY Mellon under this Agreement but any such subcontracting, hiring, engaging or outsourcing shall not relieve BNY Mellon of any of its liabilities or obligations hereunder and BNY Mellon shall remain responsible for all activities, including all acts and omissions, of such BNY Mellon Affiliates to the same extent as if such activities were performed by BNY Mellon; (iii) BNY Mellon may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to an unaffiliated third party with respect to the performance of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNY Mellon under this Agreement but any such subcontracting, hiring, engaging or outsourcing shall (A) require the prior written consent of the relevant Funds and (B) not relieve BNY Mellon of any of its liabilities hereunder; and (iv) BNY Mellon, in the course of providing certain additional services requested by a Fund (“Vendor Eligible Services”) as further described in Schedule I attached hereto, may in its sole discretion, enter into an agreement or agreements with a financial printer or electronic services provider (“Vendor”) to provide BNY Mellon with the ability to generate certain reports or provide certain functionality; provided, however, that BNY Mellon shall ensure prior to any assignment, transfer, subcontracting, hiring, engaging or other outsourcing, as applicable, under subsections (i) through (iv) that the
34
applicable BNY Mellon Affiliate, unaffiliated third party or Vendor is subject to written confidentiality, security and data protection obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement. BNY Mellon shall not be obligated to perform any of the Vendor Eligible Services unless an agreement between BNY Mellon and the Vendor for the provision of such services is then-currently in effect. Upon request, BNY Mellon will disclose the identity of the Vendor and the status of the contractual relationship, and a Fund is free to attempt to contract directly with the Vendor for the provision of the Vendor Eligible Services.
(c) As compensation for the Vendor Eligible Services rendered by BNY Mellon pursuant to this Agreement, the applicable Fund will pay to BNY Mellon such fees as may be agreed to in writing by the Fund and BNY Mellon. In turn, BNY Mellon will be responsible for paying the Vendor’s fees. For the avoidance of doubt, BNY Mellon anticipates that the fees it charges hereunder will be more than the fees charged to it by the Vendor, and BNY Mellon will retain the difference between the amount paid to BNY Mellon hereunder and the fees BNY Mellon pays to the Vendor as compensation for the additional services provided by BNY Mellon in the course of making the Vendor Eligible Services available to the Fund.
13. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof. Each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of a state or federal court situated in New York City, New York in connection with any dispute arising hereunder, and waives to the fullest extent permitted by law its right to a trial by jury. To the extent that in any jurisdiction any party may now or hereafter be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process, such party irrevocably agrees not to claim, and it hereby waives, such immunity.
14. Severability; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless
35
remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no rights to enforce any provision of this Agreement, and no Fund shall have a right to enforce any provision of this Agreement as it relates to another Fund. BNY Mellon shall not be responsible for any costs or fees charged to a Fund or an affiliate of a Fund by consultants, counsel, auditors, public accountants or other service providers retained by the Fund or any such affiliate.
15. No Waiver.
Each and every right granted to a party to this Agreement hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of a party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
16. Notices.

17. Several Obligations.
The parties acknowledge that the rights and obligations of the Funds hereunder are several and not joint, that no Fund shall be liable for any amount owing by another Fund and that the Funds have executed one instrument for convenience only.
18. Confidentiality.
(a) Each party shall keep confidential any information relating to the other party’s business (“Confidential Information”), except as otherwise permitted hereunder or as expressly agreed in writing by the protected party. Confidential Information shall include (a) any data or information that is competitively sensitive material, and not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, information about product plans, marketing strategies, finances, operations, customer relationships, customer profiles, customer lists, sales estimates, business plans, portfolio holdings and transaction information and internal performance results relating to the past, present or future business activities of a such party and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies; (b) any scientific or technical information, design, process, procedure, formula or improvement that is commercially valuable and secret in the sense that its confidentiality affords such party a competitive advantage over its competitors; (c) all confidential or proprietary concepts, documentation, reports, data, specifications, computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions, know-how and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or copyrightable; (d) any information or data with respect to the
37
shareholders of a Fund, including information that can be used to identify an individual (e.g., a social security number); (e) information from third party vendors; and (f) anything designated as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between BNY Mellon and a particular Fund information shall not be subject to such confidentiality obligations if it: (a) is already known to the receiving party and is not subject to a duty of confidentiality at the time it is obtained; (b) is or becomes publicly known or available through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (c) is rightfully received from a third party who, to the best of the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under a duty of confidentiality; (d) is released with the protected party’s prior written consent; (e) is requested or required to be disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to a court order, subpoena, governmental or regulatory authority request or law, provided the receiving party provides the protected party with reasonable assistance and notice, when legally and practically possible to do so, for the protected party to attempt to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment at the protected party’s expense (it being understood that no prior notice shall be required in connection with the disclosure of information by the receiving party in response to a request from its regulators) and the receiving party discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed; or (f) has been or is independently developed or obtained by the receiving party. Provisions authorizing the disclosure of information shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The obligations set forth in this Section 18 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years after such termination.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) BNY Mellon may disclose relevant aspects of the Fund’s Confidential Information to its and BNY Mellon Affiliates’ officers, directors, professional advisors, counsel, personnel, subcontractors and third party vendors (each, a “BNY Mellon Representative” and collectively, the “BNY Mellon Representatives”), to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. BNY Mellon shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the Fund’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or duplicated in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement by such BNY Mellon Representatives and all such BNY Mellon Representatives shall be (A) informed by BNY Mellon of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and of the confidentiality undertakings of BNY Mellon contained
38
herein and (B) bound by either one or both of (I) written confidentiality obligations or (II) confidentiality obligations under the applicable BNY Mellon code of conduct or similar binding policy, in each case that are at least as restrictive as those by which BNY Mellon is bound as contained herein. BNY Mellon may also disclose relevant aspects of the Fund’s Confidential Information to TRP to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of the services contemplated hereunder. BNY Mellon shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by BNY Mellon Representatives.
(ii) The Fund may disclose relevant aspects of BNY Mellon’s Confidential Information to Fund Affiliates or TRP and their respective officers, directors, professional advisors, counsel, personnel, subcontractors and third party vendors (each, a “TRP Representative” and collectively, the “TRP Representatives”), to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the receipt and use of the services under this Agreement. The Fund shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that BNY Mellon’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or duplicated in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement by such TRP Representatives and all such TRP Representatives shall be (A) informed by the Fund of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and of the confidentiality undertakings of the Fund contained herein and (B) bound by either one or both of (I) written confidentiality obligations or (II) confidentiality obligations under the applicable TRP code of conduct or similar binding policy, in each case that are at least as restrictive as those by which the Fund is bound as contained herein. The Fund shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by TRP Representatives.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 18, BNY Mellon will not engage in proprietary trading based on non-public portfolio holdings or transaction information of the Fund.
19. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts together shall constitute only one instrument.
39
20. No Publicity.
A party to this Agreement shall not use the name or marks of, refer to, or identify the other party (or any related entity) in any publicity releases, interviews, promotional or marketing materials, public announcements, testimonials or advertising without the prior written approval of authorized representatives of the other party (which approval a party may withhold in its sole discretion), except no such written approval is required to the extent any such disclosure is required by law. BNY Mellon may identify the Fund(s) as a client in client lists, provided that the Fund(s) name is no more prominent than any other client on such list(s). A party may withdraw such consent at any time.
21. Parties’ Relationship.
The parties to the Agreement are independent parties. BNY Mellon, in furnishing the Services, is acting as an independent contractor. BNY Mellon has the sole right and obligation to supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed, all work to be performed by BNY Mellon and its employees, agents, independent contractors and other representatives under the Agreement. At no time shall any such individuals represent himself or herself as an employee of a Fund or be considered an employee of a Fund. BNY Mellon is not a joint venturer with, nor an employee, agent or partner of the Funds and has no authority to represent or bind the Funds as to any matters.
22. Covenant of Good Faith.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees, in its dealings with the other party under or in connection with this Agreement, including the performance of all obligations and the exercise of all rights under this Agreement, it shall comply with the fundamental principle of good faith and fair dealing.
23. Invalidity.
If any of the provisions of this Agreement becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired.
40
24. The Parties.
All references herein to “the Fund” are to each of the Funds listed on Exhibit A individually or any class thereof, as if this Agreement were between such individual Fund and BNY Mellon. In the case of a series Fund or trust or a separate class of shares, all references to “the Fund” are to the individual series, portfolio or class of such Fund or trust, or to such Fund or trust on behalf of the individual series, portfolio or class, as appropriate. The “Fund” also includes any X. Xxxx Price Funds that may be established after the execution of this Agreement; provided, however, upon notice to BNY Mellon of any such X. Xxxx Price Funds established after the execution of this Agreement, BNY Mellon and the applicable fund shall cooperate in good faith to promptly execute a written addendum to this Agreement adding such fund, and BNY Mellon shall not be obligated to commence to provide services hereunder to such fund until such addendum has been executed by BNY Mellon and the applicable fund. Any reference in this Agreement to a “party” or “Party” shall mean BNY Mellon or such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains individually, and to the “parties” or “Parties” shall mean BNY Mellon and such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains collectively.
25. Directors, Trustees and Shareholders and Massachusetts Business Trust.
It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither the holders of shares in the Fund nor any Directors or Trustees of the Fund shall be personally liable hereunder.
With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (“Trust”), the term “Fund” means and refers to the trust established by its applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) as the same may be amended from time to time. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property of the Trust, as provided in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been authorized by the trustees and signed by an authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as provided in its Declaration of Trust.
41
26. Rules of Construction.
(a) Language. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all versions of this Agreement in any other language shall be for accommodation only and shall not be binding upon the parties. All communication, notices, or other documents to be made, given, or approved pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the English language.
(b) Use of Certain Words. Unless the context requires otherwise:

(iii.) “shall” and “will” are expressions of command, not merely expressions of future intent or expectation;

(v.) use of the singular imports the plural and vice versa.
(c) Interpretation. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are the result of negotiations between the Parties. The Parties intend that this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason of the extent to which any Party or its professional advisors participated in the preparation or drafting of this Agreement.
(d) Headings and Article, Section and Exhibit References. The Article and Section headings are for reference and convenience only and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, Article or Section references are to Articles or Sections of the document in which the reference is contained.

42
this Agreement also refer to and include all attachments of the referenced Appendix, Exhibit or Schedule.

(g) Covenant of Further Assurances. The Funds and BNY Mellon covenant and agree that, subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, without any additional consideration, each of the Funds and BNY Mellon shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that may be reasonably required to confirm and effectuate the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.
(h) Survival. Any and all provisions of this Agreement which by their nature or effect are required or intended to be observed, kept, or performed after the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement and remain binding upon and for the parties’ benefit.

ATTACHMENT B
AMENDED SCHEDULE II
NAV Error Policy
Definitions
NAV Error.
· For a fund that prices its shares to the nearest penny (e.g., $10.00) for transaction purposes, an NAV Error is any misstatement of the NAV that is a difference of at least one full penny per share (without rounding) between the originally computed NAV and the correct NAV.
· For a fund that prices its shares to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000) for transaction purposes, an NAV Error is any misstatement of the NAV that is a difference of at least 1/100th of a penny per share (without rounding) between the originally computed NAV and the correct NAV.
An NAV Error can result from an error (something done wrong), omission (something not done), or reliance on incorrect data.
Material NAV Error. A Material NAV Error is an NAV Error that is equal to or greater than ½ of 1% of the correct NAV.
Loss. A Loss (also referred to as dilution) results when a fund or, in the case of a multi-class fund, a class either (1) has paid excess redemption proceeds as a result of an overstated NAV or (2) has received insufficient subscription monies as a result of an understated NAV (in either case, transacting shareholders benefit from transacting at the misstated NAV, to the detriment of the fund or class).
Benefit. A Benefit (also referred to as accretion) results when a fund or, in the case of a multi-class fund, a class either (1) has paid insufficient redemption proceeds as a result of an understated NAV or (2) has received excess subscription monies as a result of an overstated NAV (in either case, transacting shareholders incur a loss from transacting at the misstated NAV, to the benefit of the fund or class).
Net Loss. A Net Loss for a particular fund or, in the case of a multi-class fund, a class results when aggregate Losses exceed aggregate Benefits (i.e., net redemptions on a day the fund’s or class’s NAV is overstated or net subscriptions on a day the fund’s or class’s NAV is understated) during the Error Period.
Net Benefit. A Net Benefit for a particular fund or, in the case of a multi-class fund, a class results when aggregate Benefits exceed aggregate Losses (i.e., net redemptions on a day the fund’s or class’s NAV is understated or net subscriptions on a day the fund’s or class’s NAV is overstated) during the Error Period.
90
Error Period. An Error Period comprises those days during which the circumstances causing an NAV Error exist prior to correction.
Error Incident. An Error Incident is a single or series of NAV Errors that results from the same act, omission, or use of incorrect data.
Correction
NAV Errors will be corrected as follows:
· If an NAV Error is less than ½ of 1% of NAV and results in a Net Benefit, the fund will retain the benefit.
· If an NAV Error is less than ½ of 1% of NAV and results in a Net Loss, the Net Loss will be paid to the fund by the party responsible for causing the NAV Error.
· In the case of a Material NAV Error, shareholder transactions/accounts will be corrected/ reprocessed at the corrected (restated) NAV, subject to a $10 per-account correction minimum threshold; any residual Net Benefit after correction of shareholder accounts will be retained by the fund and any residual Net Loss (resulting from uncorrected accounts below the $10 minimum threshold) will be paid to the fund by the party responsible for causing the error. If an NAV error is not caused by either the fund accounting agent or TRP, both TRP and the fund accounting agent will provide all reasonable assistance to the fund in its attempt to recover all costs from the responsible third party.
· Notwithstanding any contractual provisions to the contrary, to the extent a NAV Error was caused by the actions or omissions of the fund’s accounting agent, any Net Loss or residual Net Loss equal to $5,000 or less that results from the same Error Incident will be paid by the accounting agent.
TRP will be responsible for summarizing and reporting to the funds’ Audit Committee or Trust Company’s Board (or designated committee), as applicable, all NAV Errors related to the funds/trusts in conjunction with other relevant error statistics on a quarterly basis. The report will include corrected NAV Errors as well as the aggregate effect of any uncorrected NAV Errors. The report will also include information about shareholder accounts that were corrected in the discretion of TRP in the case of an NAV Error that is not a Material NAV Error. The funds’ Audit Committee and the Trust Company’s Board shall have the authority to adjust these procedures with respect to the funds and trusts, respectively, to the extent necessary or desirable to address NAV Errors by providing notice thereof to TRP and the fund’s accounting agent.
Correction of Shareholder Accounts
In the case of a Material NAV Error, corrections are made by correcting or “reprocessing” shareholder transactions/accounts at the correct NAV. When the NAV is understated, investors purchasing shares receive too many shares, and redeeming shareholders are paid less redemption proceeds than that to which they are entitled. When the NAV is overstated, investors purchasing shares receive too few shares for the amount paid and redeeming shareholders are paid excess redemption proceeds. Thus, correction or reprocessing of shareholder accounts results in adjusting the number of shares purchased or sold to the number that should have been acquired or sold, based on the correct NAV and the amount paid. In the case of a full redemption at an
91
understated NAV, the redeeming shareholder would be reimbursed directly for the additional amount they would have received in the absence of the NAV Error (subject to the $10 per-account correction minimum). In the case of a full redemption at an overstated NAV, TRP would determine whether to pursue reclamation of the overpayment from the shareholder (for accounts above the $10 per-account correction minimum). If TRP elects not to pursue reclamation from the shareholder, the amount of the overpayment will be paid in to the fund by TRP. Additionally, any reasonable losses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred for correcting shareholder accounts will be paid by the party responsible for causing the error.
When a fund corrects shareholder accounts (and restates its NAV), investors or beneficial owners who hold shares through an intermediary (such as banks, broker-dealers, and defined contribution plan recordkeepers) will be corrected in the same manner (i.e., shareholders invested through an intermediary’s omnibus account should be transacted at the fund’s restated/official NAV). Further, there may also be losses or benefits to shareholders if the shareholders exchanged all shares of a fund with a Material NAV Error into another fund (“New Fund”) during an Error Period. Should this occur, the amount of New Fund shares may also need to be corrected to reflect the correct share amount (e.g., if a shareholder exchanges all shares of a fund with an understated NAV into a New Fund, the shareholder will receive less proceeds and therefore less shares of the New Fund and the New Fund account also would be corrected).
In certain circumstances, such as, for example, where the costs of determining and administering the adjustment to shareholder accounts are excessive in relation to the adjustment, TRP may determine to implement alternative corrective action subject to approval by the fund’s Audit Committee or Trust Company’s Board. In such cases, the incremental cost of any such alternative corrective action (in excess of the cost of correction otherwise in accordance with this policy) will be borne solely by TRP.
To the extent an NAV Error is corrected by adjusting shareholder accounts/transactions at the correct NAV (i.e., the NAV is restated), the restated NAV becomes the official NAV and is used for all purposes, including shareholder account/transaction correction, performance computations, “as of” transactions, and financial reporting. The restated NAV is presented on shareholder statements, web postings, and in financial reporting. If an NAV Error does not result in an NAV restatement, the original NAV remains the official NAV used for shareholder transactions and performance computations.
Other Error Correction Principles
For the avoidance of doubt, a gain in one fund may not be used to offset dilution in another fund resulting from the same (or unrelated) Error Incident.
In the case of an Error Period that spans multiple days, (i) shareholder accounts require correction only on days with a Material NAV Error; and (ii) the Net Loss and the Net Benefit for each day during the Error Period (and the residual Net Loss and/or residual Net Benefit if there are Material NAV Errors on certain days) will be aggregated for purposes of determining the Net Benefit or Net Loss for the Error Period. The Net Benefit or Net Loss for the Error Period will
92
be subject to correction as noted above (i.e., Net Benefit for the Error Period retained by the fund and Net Loss for the Error Period paid to the fund by the party responsible for causing the error).
An NAV Error is evaluated for each NAV calculation during an Error Period. Accordingly, a multi-class fund could have an NAV Error in one class but not another on the same day (e.g., in the case of an improper class expense accrual). Further, it is possible that the same Error Incident causes an NAV Error, or a Material NAV Error, on one or several days but not all consecutive days during the Error Period (e.g., an unrecorded corporate action results in an improper share position that causes the NAV impact to fluctuate above/below a full cent (or above/below ½ of 1%) on different days prior to discovery and correction).
In the situation when there is an NAV Error for a fund in which a fund-of-funds invests (an underlying fund), the impact to the fund-of-funds’ NAV should only be considered if the underlying fund restates its NAV. So, if an underlying fund has an NAV error < ½ of 1% and does not restate its NAV, its original NAV remains its official NAV, and the fund-of-funds would not have an NAV error.
In the case of any Material NAV Error, TRP may elect to allow benefited shareholders to retain an undue gain (i.e., subscribing shareholders who receive too many shares as a result of an understated NAV or redeeming shareholders who receive excess proceeds due to an overstated NAV) so long as TRP makes the fund whole for the resultant Net Loss. TRP may decide on this course of action, for example, to minimize the number of shareholders affected by correction and, thereby, minimize reputational risk, re-processing efforts, etc. Additionally, TRP may elect to correct shareholder accounts for errors with less than ½ of 1% NAV impact, for example to minimize the amount that must be paid in to make a fund whole, subject to TRP’s reporting such corrections to the fund’s Audit Committee and following procedures designed to ensure that all affected shareholders are treated fairly.
