WHEREAS, the Fund desires to appoint Price Services as its transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with certain other activities and Price Services desires to accept such appointment;
WHEREAS, Price Services represents that it is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Transfer Agent under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“’34 Act”) and will notify each Fund promptly if such registration is revoked or if any proceeding is commenced before the Securities and Exchange Commission which may lead to such revocation;
WHEREAS, Price Services has the capability of providing shareholder services on behalf of the Funds for the accounts of shareholders in the Funds;
WHEREAS, certain of the Funds are underlying investment options of portfolios of College Savings Programs (“529 Plans”) and Price Services has the capability of providing services, on behalf of the Funds, for the accounts of individuals participating in these 529 Plans; and
WHEREAS, certain of the Funds are named investment options under various retirement plans including, but not limited to, individual retirement accounts, SEP-IRA’s, SIMPLE plans, deferred compensation plans, 403(b) plans, and profit sharing, thrift, and money purchase pension plans for self-employed individuals, individual 401(k)s and professional partnerships and corporations (collectively referred to as “Retirement Plans”) and Price Services has the capability of providing services, on behalf of the Funds, for the accounts of shareholders (“Participants”) participating in these Retirement Plans (“Retirement Accounts”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. Terms of Appointment
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund hereby employs and appoints Price Services to act, and Price Services agrees to act, as the Fund’s transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with the Fund’s authorized and issued shares of its common stock or shares of beneficial interest (all such stock and shares to be referred to as “Shares”) and provide services to shareholders of the Fund (“Shareholders”) and beneficial Shareholders as agreed to by the parties.
The parties to the Agreement hereby acknowledge that from time to time, Price Services and their affiliates may enter into contracts (“Other Contracts”) with employee benefit plans and/or their sponsors and the sponsors of 529 Plans for the provision of certain services to participants of 529 Plans and Retirement Plans. Compensation paid to Price Services pursuant to this Agreement is with respect to the services described herein and not with respect to services provided under Other Contracts.
In addition, Price Services may subcontract or jointly contract with other parties, including banks, on behalf of the Fund, to perform certain of the functions described herein.
B. Duties of Price Services
1. Services. Price Services agrees that it will perform services set forth on Schedule 1 of this Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, the Fund’s then-current prospectus and policies and procedures adopted by Price Services. Price Services will implement and maintain the systems, data storage and reporting necessary to perform such services.
2. Agreements with Intermediaries. The Fund authorizes Price Services to enter into agreements with certain third party intermediaries, which include but are not limited to banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and retirement plan recordkeepers (“Intermediary”), for the following purposes:
· Orders. Price Services shall enter into agreements, on behalf of the Funds, with Intermediaries for the purchase, sale and exchange of Fund shares by Shareholders (including Plan Participants) and for the transmission and settlement of such orders to Price Services in accordance with procedures established by such agreement. Receipt of orders by the Intermediary by the close of business on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open shall be deemed receipt of the order by the Fund for that day’s net asset value to the extent permitted by Rule 22c-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“’40 Act”) and the agreement between Price Services and the Intermediary.
· To comply with Rule 22c-2 of the ’40 Act. Price Services shall enter into agreements, on behalf of the Fund, with Intermediaries who hold shares in omnibus accounts for purposes of compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the ’40 Act (“Shareholder Information Agreements”). Price Services, or its agent, shall monitor the omnibus accounts for unusual trading activity in accordance with the Fund’s excessive trading procedures and when unusual activity is suspected, pursuant to the Shareholder Information Agreement, Price Services, or its agent, shall request from the Intermediary underlying Shareholder personal and transaction data. Alternatively, Price Services, or its agent, will request and receive regular periodic reporting from intermediaries with underlying Shareholder personal and transaction data. Once received, Price Services, or its agent, will review the data to determine if the Fund’s excessive trading policy has been violated. Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Information Agreement, if Price Services, or its agent, determines that the Fund’s policy has been violated, Price Services, or its agents, shall instruct the Intermediary to restrict or prohibit future purchases of Fund shares by Shareholders (or warn Shareholders when appropriate) identified by Price Services as having violated the policy.
· Redemption Fees. Price Services shall enter into agreements with Intermediaries maintaining omnibus accounts to require the Intermediary to collect and remit redemption fees for applicable Funds from underlying Shareholder Accounts in accordance with the Fund’s then-current prospectus at the time of the transaction (subject to the fee) and remit such fees to the Fund on a monthly basis or such other mutually agreed upon time.
· Fee Payments. The Funds have instituted a program whereby they may, in their discretion, pay an Intermediary or a Plan a fee to compensate the third party for certain expenses incurred as a result of providing certain services to underlying Shareholders of the Funds in accordance with the Funds’ Administrative Fee Payment Program or 12b-1 Plan (“Fee Payments”). Each Fund authorizes Price Services or its affiliate to enter into, on its behalf, agreements with such Intermediaries or Plans for payment of Fee Payments in consideration of such Plan or Intermediary’s performance of services pursuant to the Fund’s Administrative Fee Payment Program or 12b-1 Plan and Price Services shall act as paying agent for such Fee Payments. Any payments owed under these agreements shall be the obligation of the applicable Fund, not Price Services or its affiliates.
3. Anti-Money Laundering Program. The Funds authorize Price Services to perform, on behalf of the Funds, Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) services in accordance with the AML Program adopted by the Funds, including the Fund’s Customer Identification Program, as applicable. Price Services shall, maintain policies and procedures, and related internal controls, which are consistent with such AML Program. Price Services will also maintain policies and procedures to comply with economic sanction programs administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”), including checking Shareholder names against the OFAC list of sanctioned persons. Price Services is authorized to take, on behalf of the Funds, any action permitted by law and in accordance with the Fund’s AML Program in carrying out its responsibilities under the Fund’s AML Program or OFAC
policy, including rejecting purchases, freezing Shareholder accounts, restricting certain services, or closing Shareholder accounts if (a) suspicious activity is detected, (b) it is unable to verify the identity of a Shareholder, or (c) a Shareholder matches a government list of known or suspected suspicious persons.
4. Bank Accounts. The Funds authorize Price Services to establish one or more bank accounts in its name or in the name of the Funds for the purpose of providing Services under this Agreement and the Funds acknowledge that monies held for the benefit of a Fund may be held in an account with monies held for another Fund, provided, however, that in all cases Price Services shall keep records in the ordinary course of business as to the individual amounts held for the benefit of each Fund individually.
C. Fees and Expenses
For the services performed on Schedule 1 of this Agreement, the Funds shall pay such fees and expenses as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

F. Standard of Care/Indemnification
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
1. Price Services shall not be liable to any Fund for any act or failure to act by it or its agents or subcontractors on behalf of the Fund in carrying or attempting to carry out
the terms and provisions of this Agreement provided Price Services has acted in good faith and without negligence or willful misconduct and selected and monitored the performance of its agents and subcontractors with reasonable care.
2. The Fund shall indemnify and hold Price Services harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by Price Services resulting from: (i) any action or omission by Price Services or its agents or subcontractors in the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) Price Services acting upon instructions believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Fund; or (iii) Price Services acting upon information provided by the Fund under policies agreed to by Price Services and the Fund. Price Services shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of Price Services or where Price Services has not exercised reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.
3. Except as provided in Article M of this Agreement, Price Services shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Price Services or which result from Price Services’ failure to exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors. The Fund shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such negligence or misconduct is attributable to Price Services.
4. In determining Price Services’ liability, an isolated error or omission will normally not be deemed to constitute negligence when it is determined that:
· Price Services had in place “appropriate procedures;”
· the employee(s) responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably trained and were being appropriately monitored; and
· No evidence or circumstances have been produced to indicate that the individual who committed the error or omission was functioning in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct at the time of the incident.
It is understood that Price Services is not obligated to have in place separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or omission. The term “Appropriate Procedures” shall mean procedures reasonably designed to prevent and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reasonableness of such procedures, weight will be given to such factors as are appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or omissions when such procedures were in place and transfer agent industry standards, if known, in place at the time of the occurrence.
5. In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claim, action or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.
6. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article F shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments
concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party’s prior written consent.
7. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.
G. Dual Interests
It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or shareholders of both the Funds and Price Services (including Price Services’ affiliates), and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.

I. Recordkeeping/Confidentiality
1. Price Services shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that Price Services shall keep all records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law.
2. Price Services and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other party hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where Price Services or the Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or (c) after so requested by the other party hereto.

J. Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy of information furnished to the Fund by Price Services, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses and compliance with all applicable requirements of the ’40 Act, the ‘34 Act, the ‘33 Act, and any other laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Fund. Price Services shall be responsible for complying with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over transfer agents and their activities and cooperating with respect to examinations and requests from such governmental authorities.
K. Ownership of Software and Related Material
All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures and similar items purchased and/or developed and used by Price Services in performance of the Agreement shall be the property of Price Services and will not become the property of the Fund.
L. Quality Service Standards
Price Services and the Fund may from time to time agree to certain quality service standards, as well as incentives and penalties with respect to Price Services’ hereunder.
M. As Of Transactions
For purposes of this Article M, the term “As Of Transaction” shall mean any single or “related transaction” (as defined below) involving the purchase or redemption of Shares (including exchanges) that is processed at a time other than the time of the computation of the Fund’s net asset value per share next computed after receipt of any such transaction order by Price Services due to an act or omission of Price Services. “As Of Processing” refers to the processing of these As Of Transactions. All As Of Processing may only be performed in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 22c-1 of the ’40 Act. Price Services is responsible for monitoring As Of Transactions procedures that set forth the circumstances under which As Of Transactions are permitted. If more than one As Of Transaction (“Related Transaction”) in the Fund is caused by or occurs as a result of the same act or omission, such transactions shall be aggregated with other transactions in the Fund and be considered as one As Of Transaction.
· Reporting
Price Services shall:
1. Utilize a system to identify all As Of Transactions, and shall compute the net effect of such As Of Transactions upon the Fund on a daily, monthly and rolling 365-day basis. The monthly and rolling 365-day periods are hereafter referred to as “Cumulative.”
2. Supply to the Fund, from time to time as mutually agreed upon, a report summarizing the As Of Transactions and the daily and Cumulative net effects of such As Of Transactions both in terms of the aggregate dilution or loss (“Loss”) or gain (“Gain”) experienced by the Fund, and the impact such Gain or Loss has had upon the Fund’s net asset value per share.
3. With respect to any As Of Transaction which causes a Loss to the Fund of $100,000 or more (unless Price Services fully compensates the Fund for such Loss), Price Services shall provide the Fund: (i) a report identifying the As Of Transaction and the Loss resulting there from, (ii) the reason such As Of Transaction was processed as described above, and (iii) the action Price Services has or intends to take to prevent the reoccurrence of such As Of processing.
· Liability
1. It will be the normal practice of the Funds not to hold Price Services liable with respect to any As Of Transaction that causes a Loss to any single Fund of less than $25,000. Price Services will, however, closely monitor for each Fund the daily and Cumulative Gain/Loss that is caused by As Of Transactions of less than $25,000. When the Cumulative Loss to any Fund exceeds 3/10 of 1% net asset value per share, Price Services, in consultation with counsel to the Fund, will make appropriate inquiry to determine whether it should take any remedial action. Price Services will report to the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund (“Board”), as appropriate, any action it has taken.
2. Where an As Of Transaction causes a Loss to a Fund equal to or greater than $25,000 (“Significant As Of Transaction”) but less than $100,000, if Price Services does not reimburse the Fund for the Loss, Price Services will review with Counsel to the Fund the circumstances surrounding the Significant As Of Transaction to determine whether the Significant As Of Transaction was caused by or occurred as a result of a negligent act or omission by Price Services. If it is determined that the Loss is the result of a negligent action or omission by Price Services, Price Services and outside counsel for the Fund will negotiate settlement. Significant As Of Transactions causing a Loss to the Fund that are not reimbursed by Price Services will be reported to the Audit Committee at least annually. Any Significant As Of Transaction, however, causing a Loss in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or a xxxxx per share that is not reimbursed by Price Services will be reported to the Board as soon as reasonably practicable.
Settlement for Significant As Of Transactions causing a Loss of $100,000 or more will not be entered into until approved by the Board. For Related As Of Transactions involving Funds with more than one class, the amount of Gain or Loss resulting from an As Of Transaction shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Services’ liability for reimbursement of a Loss to any class, Gains in one class may be used to offset Losses in another class of the same Fund. Any net Gains remaining after offsetting a loss in one or more classes, as well as aggregate Gains from a Significant As Of Transaction causing a Gain of a xxxxx or more per share in a class, will be allocated ratably to all of the classes in the affected Fund.
The factors to consider in making any determination regarding the settlement of a Significant As Of Transaction would include but not be limited to:
· Procedures and controls adopted by Price Services to prevent As Of Processing;
· Whether such procedures and controls were being followed at the time of the Significant As Of Transaction;
· The volume of all transactions processed by Price Services on the day of the Significant As Of Transaction;
· The number of As Of Transactions processed by Price Services during prior relevant periods, and the net Gain/Loss as a result of all such As Of Transactions to the Fund and to all other Funds; and
· The prior response of Price Services to recommendations made by the Funds regarding improvement to Price Services’ As Of Processing procedures.
3. In determining Price Services’ liability with respect to a Significant As Of Transaction, Section 4 of Article F of this Agreement will be applied.
· As Of Transactions - Intermediaries
If an As Of Transaction is performed by an Intermediary designated by the Fund to receive orders for Fund Shares, Price Services shall cause such Intermediary to promptly reimburse the Fund for any Loss caused by such As Of Transaction; provided, however, Price Services shall not be obligated to seek reimbursement from such Intermediary if the Loss to the Fund is less than $100. The Fund shall keep any Gains caused by such As Of Transactions.
N. Term and Termination of Agreement
· This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.
· This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice to Price Services; and by Price Services, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days’ written notice to the Fund.
· Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price Services such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.
O. Notice
Any notice as required by this Agreement shall be sufficiently given (i) when sent to an authorized person of the other party at the address of such party set forth above or at such other address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other party; or (ii) as otherwise agreed upon by appropriate officers of the parties hereto.
P. Assignment
Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided this shall not preclude Price Services from employing such agents and subcontractors as it deems appropriate to carry out its obligations set forth hereunder.
Q. Amendment/Interpretive Provisions
The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, Price Services and the Fund may agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may, in their joint opinion, be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions are to be signed by all parties and annexed hereto, but no such provision shall contravene any applicable Federal or state law or regulation and no such interpretive or additional provision shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.
R. Further Assurances
Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.
S. Maryland Law to Apply
This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of Maryland.
T. Merger of Agreement
This Agreement, including the attached Appendices and Schedules supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject hereof, whether oral or written.
U. Counterparts

With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, the term “Fund” means and refers to the trustees from time to time serving under the applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) of such 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.
