Duties and Obligations of BNYM.

(a) Subject to the direction and control of Fund and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Schedule I, BNYM shall provide to Fund the services set forth in Schedule I (the “Activities”).

(b) Except to the extent otherwise indicated on Schedule I, BNYM shall not provide any services relating to the management, investment advisory or sub-advisory functions of Fund, distribution of Shares of Fund, maintenance of Fund’s financial records or other services normally performed by Fund respective counsel or independent auditors.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision hereof, the Activities are not, nor shall they be construed as constituting, legal advice or the provision of legal services for or on behalf of Fund or any other person. Neither this Agreement nor the provision of services under this Agreement establishes or is intended to establish an attorney-client relationship between Fund and BNYM.

³ This provision is saying the Fund is responsible for the paying these expenses out of its own funds; it does not prohibit BNY Mellon from being directed to make payments to these entities on behalf of the Fund.

(d) Upon receipt of Fund’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), BNYM may delegate any of its duties and obligations hereunder to any delegee or agent whenever and on such terms and conditions as it reasonably deems necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fund’s consent shall not be required for any such delegation to any BNYM Affiliate notwithstanding the domicile of such BNYM Affiliate, but BNYM shall provide Fund with written notice prior to any such delegation where BNYM, in its sole discretion, deems such consultation appropriate. BNYM shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense incurred as a result of errors or omissions of any permitted delegee or agent; provided, that BNYM shall have (i) selected such delegee or agent with reasonable care; provided, further, that BNYM shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any BNYM Affiliate to the same extent it would be liable under the terms hereof had it committed such act or omission and not delegated the same to such BNYM Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, BNYM may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to any BNYM Affiliate with respect to the performance of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNYM under this Agreement (“Outsourcing”) but any such Outsourcing by BNYM shall not relieve BNYM of any of its obligations hereunder and BNYM shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any BNYM Affiliate to the same extent it would be liable under the terms hereof had it committed such acts or omissions. For the avoidance of doubt, such Outsourcing by BNYM to a BNYM Affiliate shall not be considered a delegation under this Agreement.⁴

Such books and records shall be prepared and maintained as required by the 1940 Act. Such books, accounts and other documents shall be made available upon reasonable request for inspection by officers, employees and auditors of Fund during BNYM’s normal business hours. To the extent permitted by and consistent with applicable requirements of any laws, rules and regulations applicable to Fund, or BNYM, any such books or records may be maintained in the form of electronic media and stored on any magnetic disk or tape or similar recording method. Except as otherwise authorized by Fund or its agents, all such records (other than those which are not of a material nature) shall be preserved by BNYM for a period of at least six (6) years, unless delivered to a duly appointed successor or to Fund. In the event Fund utilizes the BNYM Anti-Money Laundering services described herein, BNYM will maintain records relating to this service as follows: (i) the shorter of (a) at least five (5) years from the date the Shareholder liquidates its investment in Fund, or (b) such time as Fund converts to a successor administrator with a corresponding transfer of such records by BNYM; or (ii) in the case of a liquidation of Fund, the shorter of (a) for at least five (5) years from the date Fund liquidates or (b) until such records are transferred by BNYM to the Fund’s appointed liquidator or another designated Fund agent.

Upon reasonable request of Fund and payment of a fee specified by BNYM, BNYM shall provide in hard copy or electronic format any records included in any such delivery which are maintained by BNYM in the form of electronic media and stored on any magnetic disk or tape or similar recording method, and Fund shall reimburse BNYM for its expenses incurred in providing such records.

BNYM shall not be required to include as Fund’s liabilities and expenses, nor as a reduction of Net Assets, any accrual for any income taxes unless Fund shall have specified to BNYM the precise amount of the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce Net Assets. BNYM shall endeavor to determine the value of securities owned by Fund in the manner described in the Offering Materials. At any time and from time to time, Fund may, if consistent with and to the extent permitted by the Offering Materials, furnish BNYM with bid, offer, or market values of securities and instruct BNYM to use such information in its calculations hereunder.

BNYM, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining whether any interest accruable to Fund is or will be actually paid, but will accrue such interest until otherwise instructed by Fund.

(i) The method of valuation of securities and the method of computing the Net Assets shall be as set forth in the then currently effective Offering Materials of Fund. To the extent the description of the valuation methodology of securities or computation of Net Assets as specified in Fund’s then currently effective Offering Materials is at any time inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, Fund shall immediately so notify BNYM in writing and thereafter shall either furnish BNYM at all appropriate times with the values of such securities and Net Assets, or subject to the prior approval of BNYM, instruct BNYM in writing as to the appropriate valuation methodology to be employed by BNYM to compute Net Assets in a manner that Fund then represent in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. Fund may also from time to time, subject to the prior approval of BNYM, instruct BNYM in writing to compute the value of the securities or Net Assets in a manner other than as specified in this Agreement. By giving such instruction, Fund shall be deemed to have represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and the then currently effective Offering Materials.

(j) BNYM, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely fully on the accuracy and validity of any and all Instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation furnished to it by Authorized Persons on behalf of Fund and shall have no duty or obligation to review the accuracy, validity or propriety of such Instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation, including the amounts or formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual liabilities and expenses; and the amounts receivable and the amounts payable on the sale or purchase of securities.

BNYM shall not be liable for any commercially reasonable 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 such date for taking or omitting to take any such action, BNYM has received Instructions from an Authorized Person in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

(l) BNYM may consult with counsel to the Fund upon prior written notice to the Fund, it being understood that BNYM, solely in the course of its provision of the regulatory administration services described in Schedule I attached hereto, shall not be obligated to provide such prior written notice to the Fund when consulting with counsel to the Fund in connection with matters related to BNYM’s provision of the regulatory administration services, at the Fund’s expense, and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice or written opinion of such counsel.

In the event of delay or failure by the Shareholder to produce any information required by the subscription agreement or by BNYM in providing the BNYM Anti-Money Laundering Services, BNYM may refuse to accept the subscription and the subscription monies related thereto or may refuse to allow a redemption until proper information has been provided. Fund shall instruct BNYM not to accept any payment on behalf of Fund from a Shareholder or pay on behalf of Fund any redemption or repurchase proceeds to a Shareholder if Fund determines that such acceptance or payment would violate any anti-money laundering laws applicable to Fund. In the event any initial payment from a Shareholder is sent to an account other than an account of Fund maintained at a BNYM Affiliate, (A) Fund shall promptly notify BNYM of the receipt of such payment, (B) Fund shall not invest such payment until BNYM has completed the BNYM Anti-Money Laundering Services with respect to such Shareholder, and (C) Fund shall indemnify and hold BNYM harmless in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to any such payment that is invested prior to BNYM’s completion of the BNYM Anti-Money Laundering Services and acceptance of the subscription therefor.

Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

16.

Severability.

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 remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

17.

No Waiver.

Each and every right granted to BNYM or Fund 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 BNYM or Fund to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by BNYM or Fund of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

18.

Non-Exclusiveness.

No provision of this Agreement shall prevent BNYM from offering services similar or identical to those covered by this Agreement to any other corporations, associations or entities of any kind.

19.

Liabilities of Fund.

The liabilities of Fund shall be limited such that the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing and relating to this Agreement with respect to Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of Fund only, and not against the assets of any other Fund listed on Annex I.

ELECTRONIC ACCESS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Electronic Access Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) set forth the terms and conditions under which The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or joint ventures (collectively, “BNY Mellon”) will provide the counterparty(ies) and its (their) affiliates (“You” and “Your”) with access to and use of BNY Mellon’s electronic information delivery site known as “BNY Mellon Connect” and/or other BNY Mellon-designated access portals (“Electronic Access”). Access to and use of Electronic Access by You is contingent upon and is in consideration for Your compliance with the terms and conditions set forth below. Electronic Access includes access to BNY Mellon web sites accessible via BNY Mellon Connect and/or other BNY Mellon-designated access portals (“Sites”), pursuant to which You are able to access products and services provided by BNY Mellon as well as data regarding Your accounts.

Any particular product or service accessed by You through Electronic Access may be subject to a separate written agreement between You and BNY Mellon with respect to such products and services (each a “Services Agreement”). In addition, terms and conditions and restrictions with respect to any particular product or service accessed through Electronic Access (such as privacy and internet security matters), together with any disclaimers related to the specific products or services, may be set forth on the Sites (hereinafter referred to as “Terms of Use”) and are applicable to such products and services. By Your signature below, You agree to the Terms and Conditions. By any of Your Users accessing the Sites, and the products and services available through Electronic Access, You agree to any Terms of Use and acknowledge and accept any disclaimers and disclosures included on the Sites and the restrictions concerning the use of proprietary data provided by Information Providers (as defined below) that are posted on the Data Terms Web Site (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, the execution of these Terms and Conditions will not alter or amend or otherwise affect any Services Agreement whether such Services Agreement is executed prior to or after the execution of these Terms and Conditions.

1. Access Administration:

To facilitate access to Electronic Access, You will furnish BNY Mellon with a written list of the names, and the extent of authority or level of access, of persons You are authorizing to access the Sites, products and services and to use the Electronic Access (“Authorized Users”) on a read-only basis. In addition, You may also designate Authorized Users who will have authority to enter transactions and provide instructions to BNY Mellon that cause a change in or have an impact on assets held by BNY Mellon for Your accounts (“Authorized Transactional Users”). Where appropriate, Authorized Users and Authorized Transactional Users are collectively referred to herein as “Users.” If You wish to allow any third party (such as an investment manager, consultant or third party service provider) or any employee of a third party to have access to Your account information through Electronic Access and be included as a “User” under these Terms and Conditions, You may designate a third party or employee of a third party as an Authorized User or Authorized Transactional User under these Terms and Conditions and any such third party or employee of a third party so designated by You (and, if a third party is so designated, any employee of such third party designated by such third party) will be included within the definition of Authorized User, Authorized Transactional User, and User as appropriate.

Upon BNY Mellon’s approval of Users (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), BNY Mellon will send You a user-id, temporary password and, where applicable, a security identification device for each User. You will be responsible for providing to Users the user-ids, temporary passwords and, where applicable, secure identification devices. You will ensure that any User receiving a secure identification device returns such device immediately following the termination of the User’s authorization to access the products and services for which the secure identification device was provided to such User. You are solely responsible for Users’ access to Electronic Access, and

You and Users are solely responsible for the confidentiality of the user-ids and passwords and secure identification devices that are provided to them and will remain responsible for each secure identification device until it is returned to BNY Mellon. You, on behalf of You and Your affiliates, acknowledge and agree that, BNY Mellon will have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm the actual identity of the person who accessed Electronic Access using a validly issued user-id and password (and, where applicable, security identification device) or that the person who accessed Electronic Access using such validly issued user-id and password (and, where applicable, security identification device) is, in fact, a User (whether an Authorized User or an Authorized Transactional User).

You shall not, and shall not permit any User or third party to, breach or attempt to breach any security measures used in connection with Electronic Access or Proprietary Software. Any attempt to circumvent or penetrate any application, network or other security measures used by BNY Mellon or its suppliers in connection with Electronic Access is strictly prohibited.

You are also solely responsible for ensuring that all Users comply with these Terms and Conditions and any Terms of Use included on the Sites, the Service Agreement for each product or services accessed through the Sites and their associated services and all applicable terms and conditions, restrictions on the use of such products and services and data obtained through the use of Electronic Access. BNY Mellon reserves the right to prohibit access or revoke the access of any User to Electronic Access whom BNY Mellon determines has violated or breached these terms and conditions or any Terms of Use on a Site accessed by the User, including the Data Terms Web Site (as defined below), or whose conduct BNY Mellon reasonably determines may constitute a criminal offense, violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or constitute a security risk for BNY Mellon, a BNY Mellon’s third party supplier (“BNY Mellon’s Supplier”), BNY Mellon’s clients or any Users of Electronic Access. BNY Mellon may also terminate access to all Users following termination of all Services Agreements between You and BNY Mellon.

2. Proprietary Software: Depending upon the products and services You elect to access through Electronic Access, You may be provided software owned by BNY Mellon or licensed to BNY Mellon by a BNY Mellon Supplier (“Proprietary Software”). You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install the Proprietary Software on Your authorized computer system (including mobile devices registered with BNY Mellon) and to use the Proprietary Software solely for Your own internal purposes in connection with Electronic Access and solely for the purposes for which it is provided to You. You and Your Users may make copies of the Proprietary Software for backup purposes only, provided all copyright and other proprietary information included in the original copy of the Proprietary Software are reproduced in or on such backup copies. You shall not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or attempt to determine the source code for, any Proprietary Software. Any attempt to circumvent or penetrate security of Electronic Access is strictly prohibited.

3. Use of Data:

Electronic Access may include information and data that is proprietary to the providers of such information or data (“Information Providers”) or may be used to access Sites that include such information or data from Information Providers. This information and data may be subject to restrictions and requirements which are imposed on BNY Mellon by the Information Providers and which are posted on xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or any successor web site of which You are provided notice from time to time (the “Data Terms Web Site”). You will be solely responsible for ensuring that Users comply with the restrictions and requirements concerning the use of proprietary data that are posted on the Data Terms Web Site.

You consent to BNY Mellon, its affiliates and BNY Mellon’s Suppliers disclosing to each other and using data received from You and Users and, where applicable, Your third parties in connection with these Terms and Conditions (including, without limitation, client data and personal data of Users) (1) to the extent necessary for the provision of Electronic Access; (2) in order for BNY Mellon and its affiliates to meet any of their obligations under these Terms and Conditions to provide Electronic Access; or (3) to the extent necessary for Users to access Electronic Access.

In addition, You permit BNY Mellon to aggregate data concerning Your accounts with other data collected and/or calculated by XXX Xxxxxx. XXX Xxxxxx will own such aggregated data, but will not distribute the aggregated data in a format that identifies You or Your data.

4. Ownership and Rights:

Electronic Access, including any database, any software (including for the avoidance of doubt, Proprietary Software) and any proprietary data, processes, scripts, information, training materials, manuals or documentation made available as part of the Electronic Access (collectively, the "Information"), are the exclusive and confidential property of XXX Xxxxxx xxx/xx XXX Xxxxxx’s suppliers. You may not use or disclose the Information except as expressly authorized by these Terms and Conditions. You will, and will cause Users and Your third parties and their users, to keep the Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that You use with respect to Your own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care.

The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the copyright status of any of the Information which may be copyrighted and will apply to all Information whether or not copyrighted.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will be construed as giving You or Users any license or right to use the trade marks, logos and/or service marks of BNY Mellon, its affiliates, its Information Providers or BNY Mellon’s Suppliers.

Any Intellectual Property Rights and any other rights or title not expressly granted to You or Users under these Terms and Conditions are reserved to BNY Mellon, its Information Providers and BNY Mellon’s Suppliers. "Intellectual Property Rights" includes all copyright, patents, trademarks and service marks, rights in designs, moral rights, rights in computer software, rights in databases and other protectable lists of information, rights in confidential information, trade secrets, inventions and know-how, trade and business names, domain names (including all extensions, revivals and renewals, where relevant) in each case whether registered or unregistered and applications for any of them and the goodwill attaching to any of them and any rights or forms of protection of a similar nature and having equivalent or similar effect to any of them which may subsist anywhere in the world.

5. Reliance:

BNY Mellon will be entitled to rely on, and will be fully protected in acting upon, any actions or instructions associated with a user-id or a secure identification device issued to a User until such time BNY Mellon receives actual notice in writing from You of the change in status of the User and receipt of the secure identification device issued to such User. You acknowledge that all commands, directions and instructions, including commands, directions and instructions for transactions issued by a User are issued at Your sole risk. You agree to accept full and sole responsibility for all such commands, directions and instructions and that BNY Mellon, will have no liability for, and you hereby release BNY Mellon from, any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, claims, causes of action or judgments (including attorneys fees and expenses) (collectively “Losses”) incurred or sustained by you or any other party in connection with or as a result of BNY Mellon’s reliance upon or compliance with such commands, directions and instructions.

All commands, directions and instructions involving a transaction entered by Authorized Transactional User will be treated as an authorized instruction under the applicable Services Agreement(s) between You and BNY Mellon covering accounts, products and services and products provided by BNY Mellon with respect to which Electronic Access is being used whether such Services Agreement is executed prior to or after the execution of these Terms and Conditions.

6. Disclaimers:

XXX Xxxxxx will not be liable to You or Users for such content or information in any way nor for any action taken in reliance on such information nor for direct or indirect damages resulting from the use of such information. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, all information and data, including all proprietary information and materials and all client data, provided to You through Electronic Access are provided on an “AS-IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” basis.
