1. Article IX of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:
1. The Agreement shall become effective on March 1, 2011 and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of four (4) years (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically continue in full force and effect after such Initial Term unless either party terminates this Agreement by written notice to the other party at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. Additionally, if the Custodian (or any of its affiliates) engages in (i) any act or omission which constitutes a breach of any representation, warranty, term, or obligation contained in this Agreement, which upon notice the Custodian has not cured within 5 business days or (ii) any act or omission which constitutes negligence, reckless misconduct, willful malfeasance, or lack of good faith in fulfilling the terms and obligations of this Agreement, then each Fund shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement.
In the event such notice is given by the Fund, it shall be accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the board of the Fund, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, electing to terminate this Agreement and designating a successor Custodian or Custodians, each of which shall be a bank or trust company having not less than $2,000,000 aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits.

2. If a successor Custodian is not designated by the Fund or Custodian in accordance with the preceding Section, the Fund shall upon the date specified in the notice of termination of this Agreement and upon the delivery by Custodian of all Securities (other than Securities which cannot be delivered to the Fund) and money then owned by the Fund be deemed to be its own Custodian and Custodian shall thereby be relieved of all duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, other than the duty with respect to Securities which cannot be delivered to the Fund to hold such Securities hereunder in accordance with this Agreement.

THIS AMENDMENT (“Amendment”) TO THE CUSTODY AGREEMENT dated June 7, 2005, amended November 7, 2007, September 5, 2008, September 8, 2009, October 23, 2009, November 13, 2009, January 13, 2010, September 1, 2010, March 1, 2011 and March 25, 2011 (the “Agreement”), by and between the registered investment companies listed on Schedule II to the Agreement, as may be amended from time to time (each stand alone registered investment company and each Series a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”).
WHEREAS, each Fund is registered as a management investment company, or certain services thereof, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and
WHEREAS, the Funds and the Custodian desire to amend the Agreement subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
2. The following article shall be added to the Agreement as a new Article XI “CUSTODY OF LOAN DOCUMENT FILES AND RELATED SERVICES”:
1. As used in this Article XI, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
“Loan Document File” shall mean a hard copy file delivered to and received by Custodian hereunder.
“Loan Documents” shall mean all documents and instruments relating to any Loans (as hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, loan or credit agreements, assignment and acceptance agreements, promissory notes, participation agreements, deeds, mortgages and security agreements contained in a Loan Document File.
“Loans” shall mean the bank loans or loan commitments held in the Fund.
“Servicer” shall mean the agent appointed by the applicable Fund to service the Loans, which initially shall be the Custodian, provided that the parties have entered into a separate loan servicing agreement (the “Loan Servicing Agreement”).
2. It is understood and agreed that unless Custodian and the Fund enter into a duly executed Loan Servicing Agreement, all references to the Servicer hereunder shall refer to a person or entity other than Custodian. Upon execution of such Loan Servicing Agreement, all such references shall be to Custodian.
3. The Servicer, as agent for the Fund, shall be solely responsible for the servicing of all Loans. All payments by or on behalf of borrowers under the Loans received by Custodian shall be credited to the Account.
4. It is understood and agreed that Custodian shall have no responsibility for maintaining any records of account activity relating to each Loan, including without limitation, all amortization schedules, records of transfer, pay-off, assignment, participation, sale, modification, termination or other changes in the Loans, except as provided for in the Loan Servicing Agreement between the Funds and Custodian dated March 25, 2011.
5. Upon origination, modification or other change in any Loan, the Fund shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Custodian all relevant Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that Custodian will accept any file purporting to be a Loan Document File for custody hereunder “as is” and without any examination. Any duty Custodian may have to review or inspect any Loan Documents or to determine the contents of Loan Document Files shall only be pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Servicing Agreement. No such duties or obligations shall be imposed on Custodian under the Agreement. Under no circumstances will Custodian be required to issue a trust receipt (or similar instrument) with respect to the Loan Document Files or their contents. Account statements will only reflect an inventory of the Loan Document Files that Custodian holds in custody hereunder without any representation as to the contents thereof.
6. No director, officer, employee or agent of the Fund shall have physical access to the Loan Document Files or be authorized or permitted to withdraw any Loan Documents nor shall Custodian deliver any Loan Documents to any such person, unless such access or withdrawal has been duly authorized by a resolution of the board of directors of the Fund. All such access shall be by two or more persons jointly, at least one of whom is an officer of the Fund.
3. All Loan Documents and Loan Document Files in the possession of the Custodian are and shall remain the property of the Fund.
4. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof upon execution by the parties hereto. From and after the execution hereof, any reference to the Agreement shall be a reference to the Agreement as amended hereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of the Amendment shall control. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties thereto.

LOAN SERVICING ANNEX AND SUPPLEMENT
TO THE CUSTODY AGREEMENT
This Loan Servicing Annex and Supplement (the “Loan Servicing Agreement”) a part of the Custody Agreement dated June 7, 2005, amended November 7, 2007, September 5, 2008, September 8, 2009, October 23, 2009, November 13, 2009, January 13, 2010, September 1, 2010, March 1, 2011, and March 25, 2011 (the “Custody Agreement”), between the registered investment companies listed on Schedule II to the Custody Agreement, as may be amended from time to time (each stand alone registered investment company and each Series a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”). Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Custody Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Funds and the Custodian desire to supplement the Custody Agreement to provide for the servicing of loans held as assets of the Funds, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, covenants and representations herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Services. Custodian shall provide to the Funds the services described in Exhibit A attached hereto (which services are hereinafter referred to as the “Services”). The Funds shall, promptly after the date hereof, deliver or cause to be delivered to Custodian copies of all documents and information listed on Schedule II to this Loan Servicing Agreement relating to the loans or loan commitments (the “Loans”) being serviced for the loan portfolio(s) described on Exhibit A-1 (the “Portfolio(s)”).
2. Service Fees. In consideration of the performance of the Services by Custodian, each Fund shall pay Custodian in accordance with the fee arrangements set forth on Schedule I to this Loan Servicing Agreement (the “Service Fees”). Except for such sums as are payable upon the execution hereof, if any, Custodian shall send an invoice for the Service Fees to the applicable Fund within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the term hereof and such invoice shall be payable upon receipt.
3. Delegation. Custodian is hereby authorized to assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to a BNY Affiliate, whenever and on such terms and conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate to perform its services hereunder, without any further notice to the Funds. The Funds agree to be bound by all actions taken by such BNY Affiliate pursuant to the preceding sentence to the same extent as if they were taken by Custodian, it being understood and agreed that no such assignment or delegation shall discharge Custodian from its obligations hereunder. Accordingly, Custodian is fully responsible to the Funds for the acts or omissions of such BNY Affiliate under the Agreement to the same extent that Custodian would be liable for such acts or omissions had Custodian not delegated such services to such BNY Affiliate. If so advised by Custodian, the Funds shall provide Instructions or other information directly to such BNY Affiliate rather than to Custodian.
4. Notice of Default. Custodian shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or event of default under the Loans unless Custodian has received notice from a Fund referring to this Loan Servicing Agreement, describing such default or event of default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Such notice will be delivered in a manner permitted under the Custody Agreement. Custodian shall take such action with respect to such default or event of default as shall be reasonably directed by such Fund; provided that unless and until Custodian shall have received such directions, Custodian may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or event of default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of such Fund.
5. Non-Reliance by the Funds. The Funds expressly acknowledge that neither Custodian nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties pursuant to this Loan Servicing Agreement and that no act by Custodian hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any borrower or any affiliate of any borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Custodian with respect to the Loans. The Funds represent to Custodian that they have, independently and without reliance upon Custodian, and based on such documents and information as they shall deem appropriate at the time, made their own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any borrower and its affiliates and made
their own decisions to make and/or purchase the Loans. The Funds also represent that they will, independently and without reliance upon Custodian, and based on such documents and information as they shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action with respect to the Loans, and to make such investigation as they deem necessary to inform them as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Funds by the Custodian, Custodian shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Funds with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any borrower that may come into the possession of the Custodian or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
6. Advances. Custodian shall not be obligated to make any advances or make any payments to any party out of its own funds and no provision of this Loan Servicing Agreement or any other document executed in connection herewith shall require Custodian to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its duties hereunder.
7. Event of Default by Custodian. The following shall constitute a “Custodian Event of Default” hereunder:
The commencement of a case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other similar relief with respect to Custodian or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator, administrator, custodian or other similar official for Custodian or Custodian’s property and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days.
8. Event of Default by a Fund. The following shall constitute a “Fund Event of Default” hereunder:
The commencement of a case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other similar relief with respect to a Fund or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator, administrator, custodian or other similar official for such Fund or such Fund’s property and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days.
9. Remedies.
(a) If a Custodian Event of Default shall occur, the Funds may terminate this Loan Servicing Agreement immediately upon the delivery of written notice to Custodian, and shall, subject to the limitations contained in the Custody Agreement, be entitled to any and all other rights and remedies under law or in equity.
(b) If a Fund Event of Default shall occur, Custodian may terminate this Loan Servicing Agreement and resign immediately upon the delivery of written notice to the Funds, and shall, subject to the limitations contained in the Custody Agreement, be entitled to any and all other rights and remedies under law or in equity.
10. Termination for No Cause. Either Custodian or the Funds may terminate: (a) this Loan Servicing Agreement in its entirety or (b) the Services as to any particular portfolio of loans or as to a loan or loans without terminating this Loan Servicing Agreement in its entirety, for any or no reason upon the providing of ninety (90) days’ advance written notice to the other parties.
11. NOTICE REQUIRED BY THE USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Fund hereby acknowledges that Custodian is subject to federal laws, including the Customer Identification Program (CIP) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, pursuant to which Custodian must obtain, verify and record information that allows Custodian to identify its customers. Accordingly Custodian will ask the Funds to provide certain information including, but not limited to, the name of each Fund, physical address, tax identification number
and other information that will help Custodian to identify and verify each Fund’s identity such as organizational documents, ownership, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.
12. Custody Agreement. The parties understand and agree that this Loan Servicing Agreement shall be subject to the term and conditions of the Custody Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Custody Agreement and the Loan Servicing Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Loan Servicing Agreement shall govern.

AMENDMENT TO TERMS OF
FOREIGN EXCHANGE BENCHMARK PRICING PROGRAM
AND
FOREIGN EXCHANGE STANDING INSTRUCTION SESSION RANGE PROGRAM
FX PROGRAM SELECTION FORM
Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”) has received the FX Standing Instructions Session Range Program Description, dated Xxxxx 00, 0000 (xx amended from time to time, the “Session Range Program Description”), and the FX Standing Instructions Benchmark Pricing Program Description, dated March 25, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Benchmark Program Description” and collectively with the Session Range Program Description, the “Documents”).
Capitalized Terms not otherwise defined herein shall bear the meanings given to them in the Session Range Program Description or Benchmark Program Description, as applicable.
The parties agree that the terms of the Documents are amended as described herein:
- By executing this amendment and the FX Program Selection Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Opt-In Form”), the parties express their agreement regarding the pricing and processing of FX Transactions executed pursuant to the terms of the Documents, as amended by this Opt-In Form. For avoidance of doubt, this is an agreement concerning the pricing and processing of FX Transactions, and not an agreement by either party hereto to enter into any particular FX Transaction. BNY Mellon is not in any way obligated to enter into any FX Transaction with the Customer as a result of the Customer providing instructions to BNY Mellon under either the FX Benchmark Pricing Program (the “Benchmark Program”) or the FX Standing Instructions Session Range Program Description (the “Session Range Program”). BNY Mellon may refuse to accept or provide a price for the Actionable Trade Request for any reason, including without limitation, because of market restrictions, legal, regulatory, credit or operational reasons.
- BNY Mellon’s Asset Servicing Representative dedicated to Federated will provide Federated with notice as soon as reasonably practicable: (i) of any refusal to accept or provide a price for the Actionable Trade Request, and (ii) of any market, legal, regulatory, credit or operational restrictions that render BNY Mellon incapable of accepting or providing a price for an Actionable Trade Request with respect to a particular currency. Such notice will be provided by email alert to Federated at the email address(es) provided below or at such other e-mail address as may be provided by Federated in writing hereafter.
- Federated acknowledges that each Customer identified in Exhibit B will engage in FX Transactions with BNY Mellon under the Benchmark Program for Developed Market Currencies, and under the Session Range Program for all other currencies. Federated may amend the accounts listed on Exhibit B hereto at any time by sending BNY Mellon an instruction in writing to either add account(s) or to remove account(s). The instruction shall identify the name of the account(s), account number(s), legal name(s), and the instruction to add or remove such accounts from Exhibit B. An instruction to add a new account will be thereby incorporated hereunder xxxx XXX Xxxxxx’s written consent (or upon execution of an FX Transaction with respect to such account, which shall be deemed BNY Mellon’s written consent). An instruction to remove an account shall cause such account to be automatically terminated from the scope of the Documents upon receipt of such instruction without requiring BNY Mellon’s consent, provided that such termination shall
- not affect any obligations of such terminated account outstanding at the time of termination and including a reasonable time to act thereon.
- As used in the Documents, each separate legal entity is deemed to be a Customer. Unless checked below, Federated understands and acknowledges that Netting (as defined in Annex A and described in Annex B and C of the applicable Document) will occur among accounts belonging to the same Customer. In the case of multiple accounts, if Federated does not identify which accounts belong to the same Customer, netting will occur at the account level.
We are requiring you to apply Netting across different Customers. We have specified the exact legal names associated with each account in Exhibit B and provided that we have elected to apply Netting across different Customers, the following Indemnity shall apply:
Indemnity
The accounts listed in Exhibit B do not belong to the same Customer, they belong to various Customers. In consideration of making Netting available across the accounts of various Customers and enabling the FX trading activity of one Customer to benefit another Customer, we agree to indemnify and hold BNY Mellon and any affiliate of BNY Mellon harmless from and against any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses as they become due), arising out of or related to any claim of breach of any Law in connection with the Netting across the accounts of various Customers. "Law" means any law, rule or regulation, including without limitation the Investment Company Act of 1940, Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974, each as amended, or any successor federal statute.
- Reporting for FX Transactions shall be in the form attached, which may be modified from time to time. In the event that such modifications result in a material reduction in the information contained in the form and thereafter Federated reasonably requests such information, then BNY Mellon will provide such information as it relates to the Benchmark Program or the Session Range Program, so long as Federated’s request does not include third party information, violate any policy of BNY Mellon, conflict with any other customer’s confidentiality, and is information that BNY Mellon can produce (as reasonably determined by BNY Mellon).
- The parties agree that, if executing an Actionable Trade Request, prior to determining that it will not price such Actionable Trade Request in accordance with the terms of the Documents, BNY Mellon must make a reasonable and good faith determination that an Extraordinary Event has occurred or is expected to occur.
- Notwithstanding any provisions in the Documents to the contrary, BNY Mellon may only charge an additional or separate fee for its services outside of such fees earned by BNY Mellon in the form of Spreads or otherwise described in the Pricing sections of the Documents as part of either the Benchmark Program or the Session Range Program with the prior written agreement of Federated.
- The parties agree that in the event Federated chooses to terminate the agreement on behalf of a Customer or to revoke advance instructions on behalf of a Customer in accordance with Section 2.b of Annex D to each of the Documents, that such termination or revocation will be effective
- after the lapse of a reasonable time for BNY Mellon to act on such termination or revocation and in any event will be effective no later than 10 business days after receipt by BNY Mellon.
- In no event will BNY Mellon be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (including loss of profit, expense of use of other services, or attorney's fees), arising out of or in connection with this agreement, regardless of whether such damages arise in tort, contract or otherwise, even if BNY Mellon has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Documents shall not be construed to exclude or limit the liability of BNY Mellon or any of its affiliates for losses incurred in connection with any FX Transaction executed pursuant to the Documents attributable to: (i) fraud (ii) actions taken in bad faith; (iii) negligence (which shall be determined in accordance with the reasonable commercial standards of the banking industry); or (iv) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by Applicable Law. For purposes of the Documents and this Opt-in Form, “Applicable Law” shall mean all applicable United States or foreign federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, interpretations, orders, judgments and decrees of any applicable regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization or of any national exchange, market or clearinghouse where foreign exchange transactions are executed.
- Either party may terminate this agreement upon thirty (30) days’ (or in the case of a termination for cause, five (5) days’) prior written notice to the other party. The termination shall not affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of any party hereto accrued as of the date of such termination. Notices under these Documents may be sent by electronic mail or regular mail to the other party at the addresses set forth below:

We understand that The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) offers two standard pricing options for custody related Foreign Exchange (FX): (1) the Session Range Program; and (2) the Defined Spread Program.

We understand that if we do not specifically select the Defined Spread Program or the FX Benchmark Pricing option, or fail to execute an FX Program Election Form, any custody related foreign exchange instructions we send will be priced either in accordance with another arrangement to which we and BNY Mellon have agreed or if no such agreement has occured, such instructions will be priced in accordance with BNY Mellon's then-applicable default program for handling such instructions. Currently, Session Range is the default program for handling such instructions.
