AMENDED AND RESTATED
MASTER DELEGATION AGREEMENT
This
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DELEGATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as
of January 1, 2011 by and among each registered investment company identified on
the signature page hereto (each such registered investment company shall
hereinafter be referred to as a “Fund” and
collectively the “Funds”), and STATE
STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY a Massachusetts trust company (the “Delegate”).
WHEREAS,
the portfolios of the Funds listed on Appendix A hereto (as such Appendix A may
be amended from time to time) (each a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”), may
invest their assets in Foreign Assets (as defined below); and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 17f-5 under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Board of Directors / Trustees of each Fund desires to delegate
to the Delegate certain responsibilities concerning Foreign Assets, and the
Delegate hereby agrees to retain such delegation, as described herein;
and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 17f-7 under the 1940 Act, and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Board of Directors / Trustees of each
Fund desires to retain the Delegate to provide certain services concerning
Foreign Assets, and the Delegate hereby agrees to provide such services, as
described herein; and
WHEREAS,
the Funds and Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”) entered into a Master
Delegation Agreement dated June 30, 2005, as amended, modified and supplemented
from time to time (the “Prior Agreement”); and
WHEREAS,
IBT merged with and into the Delegate, effective July 2, 2007, with the result
that the Delegate now serves as Foreign Custody Manager under the Prior
Agreement; and
WHEREAS,
the Funds have requested that the Delegate amend the Prior Agreement and the
Delegate has agreed to do so as an accommodation to the Funds notwithstanding
that as amended, the Prior Agreement is not identical to the form of custodian
agreement customarily entered into by the Delegate as custodian and Foreign
Custody Manager, in order that the services to be provided to the Funds on

4. Jurisdictions and
Depositories Covered
a. Initial Jurisdictions and
Depositories
The
authority delegated by this Agreement in connection with Rule 17f-5 applies only
with respect to Foreign Assets held in the countries and custody arrangements
for each such country listed on Schedule A to this
Agreement, which list of countries may be amended from time to time by any Fund
with the agreement of the Delegate. The Delegate shall list on
Schedule A the Eligible Foreign Custodians selected by the Foreign Custody
Manager to maintain the assets of the Funds, which list of Eligible Foreign
Custodians may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the
Delegate (it being understood that any such amendments do not constitute an
amendment to this Agreement). The Delegate will provide amended
versions of Schedule
A in accordance with Section 11 hereof.
Upon the
receipt by the Delegate of Proper Instructions to open an account or to place or
maintain Foreign Assets in a country listed on Schedule A, and the fulfillment
by each Fund, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio(s), of the applicable
account opening requirements for such country, the Delegate shall be deemed to
have been delegated by such Fund’s Board on behalf of such Portfolio(s)
responsibility as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to that country and to
have accepted such delegation. Execution of this Agreement by each
Fund shall be deemed to be a Proper Instruction to open an account, or to place
or maintain Foreign Assets, in each country listed on Schedule
A. Following the receipt of Proper Instructions directing the
Delegate to close the account of a Portfolio with the Eligible Foreign Custodian
selected by the Foreign Custody Manager in a designated country, the delegation
by the Board on behalf of such Portfolio to the Delegate as Foreign Custody
Manager for that country shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and the Delegate
shall immediately cease to be the Foreign Custody Manager with respect to such
Portfolio with respect to that country.
3
Delegate’s
responsibilities under this Agreement in connection with Rule 17f-7 apply only
with respect to the Eligible Securities Depositories listed in Schedule B. Upon the
creation of a new Eligible Securities Depository in any of the jurisdictions
listed in Schedule
A at the time of such creation, such Eligible Securities Depository will
automatically be deemed to be listed in Schedule B and will
be covered by the terms of this Agreement.
b. Withdrawn
Jurisdictions
Board may
withdraw its (i) delegation to Delegate with respect to any jurisdiction or (ii)
retention of Delegate with respect to any Securities Depository, upon written
notice to Delegate. Delegate may withdraw its (i) acceptance of delegation with
respect to any jurisdiction or (ii) retention with respect to any Securities
Depository, upon written notice to Board. Ten days (or such longer period as to
which the parties agree in such event) after receipt of any such notice by the
Authorized Representative of the party other than the party giving notice,
Delegate shall have no further responsibility or authority under this Agreement
with respect to the jurisdiction(s) or Securities Depository as to which
delegation is withdrawn.
5. Monitoring of Eligible
Foreign Custodians and Contracts
In each
case in which Delegate has exercised the authority delegated under this
Agreement to place Foreign Assets with an Eligible Foreign Custodian, Delegate
is authorized to, and shall, on behalf of Fund, establish a system to Monitor
(i) the appropriateness of maintaining Foreign Assets with such Eligible Foreign
Custodian and (ii) the contract governing the custody arrangements established
by the Delegate with the Eligible Foreign Custodian.
6. Eligible Securities
Depositories
a. In
accordance with the requirements of Rule 17f-7, Delegate shall, upon execution
of this Agreement, provide the Fund or its investment adviser with an analysis
of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with each Eligible
Securities Depository listed on Schedule B
hereto.
b. In
accordance with the requirements of Rule 17f-7, Delegate shall Monitor the
custody risks associated with maintaining assets with each Securities Depository
listed on Schedule
B hereto on a continuing basis, and shall promptly notify the Fund or its
investment adviser of any material change in such risks.
7. Guidelines and Procedures
for the Exercise of Delegated Authority
a. Board’s Conclusive
Determination Regarding Country Risk
In
exercising its delegated authority under this Agreement, Delegate may assume,
for all purposes, that Board (or Fund’s investment advisor, pursuant to
authority delegated by Board) has considered, and pursuant to its fiduciary
duties to Fund and Fund’s shareholders, determined to accept, such Country Risk
as is incurred by placing and maintaining Foreign Assets in the jurisdictions
for which Delegate is serving as Foreign Custody Manager of the Funds. In
exercising its delegated authority under this Agreement, Delegate may also
assume that Board (or Fund’s investment advisor, pursuant to authority delegated
by Board) has, and will continue to, Monitor such Country Risk to the extent
Board (or Fund’s investment advisor, pursuant to authority delegated by Board)
deems necessary or appropriate.
4
Except as
specifically described herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Delegate
to make any selection or to engage in any Monitoring on behalf of Fund that
would entail consideration of Country Risk.
b. Selection of Eligible
Foreign Custodians
In exercising the authority delegated
under this Agreement to place and maintain Foreign Assets with an Eligible
Foreign Custodian, Delegate shall determine that Foreign Assets will be subject
to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians in the
market in which the Foreign Assets will be held by that Eligible Foreign
Custodian, after considering all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such
assets, including, without limitation the factors specified in Rule
17f-5(c)(1).
c. Evaluation of Written
Contracts
In
exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement to enter into written
contracts governing Fund’s foreign custody arrangements with an Eligible Foreign
Custodian, Delegate shall determine that such contracts provide reasonable care
for Foreign Assets based on the standards applicable to Eligible Foreign
Custodians in the relevant market. In making this determination, Delegate shall
ensure that the terms of such contracts comply with the provisions of Rule
17f-5(c)(2).
d. Monitoring of Eligible
Foreign Custodians
In
exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement to establish a system to
Monitor the appropriateness of maintaining Foreign Assets with an Eligible
Foreign Custodian or the appropriateness of a written contract governing Fund’s
foreign custody arrangements, Delegate shall consider any factors and criteria
set forth in Schedule
D to this Agreement. If, as a result of its Monitoring of Eligible
Foreign Custodian relationships hereunder or otherwise, the Delegate determines
in its sole discretion that it is in the best interest of the safekeeping of the
Foreign Assets to move such Foreign Assets to a different Eligible Foreign
Custodian, the Fund shall bear any expense related to such relocation of Foreign
Assets.
8. Standard of
Care
a. In
exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement with regard to its
duties under Rule 00x-0, Xxxxxxxx agrees to exercise such reasonable care,
prudence and diligence as is customary for persons having responsibility for the
safekeeping of Foreign Assets of an investment company registered under the 1940
Act to exercise.
b. In
carrying out its responsibilities under this Agreement with regard to Rule
00x-0, Xxxxxxxx agrees to exercise such reasonable care, prudence and diligence
as is customary for a person having responsibility for the safekeeping of
Foreign Assets of an investment company registered under the 1940 Act to
exercise.
5
9. Reporting
Requirements
Delegate
agrees to notify Board of the withdrawal of the Foreign Assets from an Eligible
Foreign Custodian and the placement
of Foreign Assets with a particular Eligible Foreign Custodian by providing to
the Board an amended Schedule A at the end of the calendar quarter in which an
amendment to such Schedule has occurred. The Delegate shall make written reports
notifying the Board of any other material change in the foreign custody
arrangements of the Funds described after the occurrence of the material
change. Such reports
shall be provided to Board quarterly for consideration at the next regularly
scheduled meeting of the Board or earlier if deemed necessary or advisable by
the Delegate in its sole discretion, or if reasonably requested by the Board to
the Delegate, with notice to the Authorized Representative.
10. Market
Information
The
Delegate shall provide to the Board the information with respect to custody and
settlement practices in countries in which the Delegate places Foreign Assets
with a Foreign Sub-Custodian described on Schedule C hereto at the time or times
set forth on such Schedule. The Delegate may revise Schedule C from
time to time, provided that no such revision shall result in a Board being
provided with substantively less information than had been previously provided
hereunder.
11. Limitation of
Liability.
a. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Delegate or
any of its officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, the “Delegate
Indemnified Parties”) be liable to the Fund or any third party, and the Fund
shall indemnify and hold the Delegate and the Delegate Indemnified Parties
harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, actions, suits,
claims, and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, (a
“Claim”) arising as a result of any act or omission of the Delegate or any
Delegate Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that any
Claim results from the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith, or reckless
disregard of its duties on the part of the Delegate or any Delegate Indemnified
Party. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Delegate nor the Delegate
Indemnified Parties shall be liable for, and the Delegate and the Delegate
Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified against, any Claim arising as a result
of:
|
i.
|
Any
act or omission by the Delegate or any Delegate Indemnified Party in
reasonable good faith reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, any
resolution of the Board, telegram, telecopy, notice, request, certificate
or other instrument from an Authorized Representative reasonably believed
by the Delegate to be genuine; or
|
|
ii.
|
Any
information that the Delegate provides or does not provide under Section
12 hereof.
|
6
b. The
Delegate agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Fund, its Directors /
Trustees, and its affiliates and their officers and employees (“Fund Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all Claims arising as a result of any act or
omission of the Delegate or any Delegate Indemnified Party under this Agreement
to the extent resulting from the negligence, willful malfeasance, bad faith, or
reckless disregard of its duties on the part of the Delegate or the Delegate
Indemnified Parties.
c. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a party be liable
to the other party or any third party for lost profits or lost revenues or any
special, consequential, punitive or incidental damages of any kind whatsoever in
connection with this Agreement or any activities hereunder.
12. Conduct of
Claims
a. In
connection with the indemnification provided by the Delegate to the Fund
pursuant to Section 11.b. as well as the indemnification provided by the Fund to
the Delegate pursuant to Section 11.a., the indemnified party may make claims
for indemnification by giving written notice thereof to the indemnifying party
after it receives notice of a claim, but the failure to do so shall not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability except to the extent that it is
materially prejudiced by the failure or delay in giving such
notice. Such notice shall summarize the bases for the claim for
indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted.
b. Within
fifteen (15) days after receiving any such notice, the indemnifying party shall
give written notice to the indemnified party stating whether it disputes the
claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any claim at its
own cost and expense. If the indemnifying party fails to give notice
that it disputes an indemnification claim within fifteen (15) days after the
receipt of notice thereof, it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to
indemnify the claim.
c. The
indemnifying party shall be entitled to direct the defense against a claim with
counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the indemnified party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the indemnifying party is
conducting a good faith and diligent defense. The indemnified party
shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a claim
at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if the
named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party, and the indemnified party is advised that
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party may engage
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. If no such
notice of intent to dispute and defend a claim is given by the indemnifying
party, or if such good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be
conducted by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right,
at the expense of the indemnifying party, to undertake the defense of such claim
(with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and to compromise or settle
it, exercising reasonable business judgment. If the claim is one that
by its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the
indemnified party shall make available such information and assistance as the
indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the
indemnifying party in such defense, at the expense of the indemnifying
party. The indemnifying party shall have the right to settle any
third-party claim without the consent of the indemnified party provided that
such settlement (i) fully releases the indemnified party from any liability and
provides no admission of wrongdoing, and (ii) does not subject the indemnified
party to any additional obligation, whether financial or
otherwise. In the event that any such settlement does not meet the
requirements of (i) and (ii) above, then the indemnified party must consent to
such settlement in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
7
13. Effectiveness and
Termination of Agreement
This
Agreement shall be effective as of the later of the date of execution on behalf
of Fund or Delegate and shall remain in effect until terminated as provided
herein. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by
written notice from the terminating party to the non-terminating party.
Termination will become effective 30 days after receipt by the non-terminating
party of such notice.
14. Authorized Representatives
and Notices
The
respective Authorized Representatives of Fund and Delegate, and the addresses to
which notices and other documents under this Agreement are to be sent to each,
are as set forth in Schedule E. Any
Authorized Representative of a party may add or delete persons from that party’s
list of Authorized Representatives by written notice to an Authorized
Representative of the other party.
15. Governing
Law
This
Agreement shall be constructed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts without regard to principles of choice of law.
16. Business
Recovery.
The Bank
represents and warrants that it has and will continue to maintain and
periodically test and update a commercially reasonable continuity and business
recovery program for the protection of information, data and assets of and
relevant customers including the Funds. Upon reasonable request, the
Bank shall discuss with senior management of the Funds any business
continuity/disaster recovery plan of the Bank and/or provide a high-level
presentation summarizing such plan.
17. Force
Majeure.
Notwithstanding
anything otherwise to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be liable
to the other for any loss or liability arising from events or circumstances
beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, without limitation, any
acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods, storms or other disturbances of nature,
epidemics, strikes, riots, nationalization, expropriation, currency
restrictions, acts of war, civil war or terrorism, insurrection, nuclear fusion,
fission or radiation, the interruption, loss or malfunction of utilities,
transportation or computers (hardware or software) and computer facilities, the
unavailability of energy sources and other similar happenings or events, except
to the extent that any such loss or liability results from the failure of the
Delegate to (a) maintain a commercially reasonable business recovery program,
and (b) act reasonably to mitigate, as soon as practicable, the specific
occurrence or event.
8
18. Amendments. This Agreement may not be
altered or amended, except by an instrument in writing, executed by both
parties.
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 shall, together,
constitute only one instrument.
