This Agreement between Each Legal Entity Listed on Exhibit A Hereto, each a business trust or corporation organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction indicated on Exhibit A (each a “Fund”), and State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company (“State Street”),

Witnesseth:

Whereas, each Fund is authorized to issue shares in separate series, with each such series representing interests in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets; and

Whereas, each Fund intends that this Agreement be applicable to each of its series existing on the date hereof (such series together with all other series subsequently established by the Fund and made subject to this Agreement in accordance with Section 17, be referred to herein as the “Portfolio(s)”);

Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Appointment of State Street as Custodian and Recordkeeper. Each Fund hereby appoints State Street as the custodian of the assets of the Portfolios of the Fund, including securities which the Fund, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, desires to be held in places within the United States (“domestic securities”) and securities it desires to be held outside the United States (“foreign securities”). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio(s), agrees to deliver to State Street all securities and cash of the Portfolios, and all payments of income, payments of principal or capital distributions received by it with respect to all securities owned by the Portfolio(s) from time to time, and the cash consideration received by it for such new or treasury shares of beneficial interest of the Fund representing interests in the Portfolios (“Shares”) as may be issued or sold from time to time. State Street shall not be responsible for any property of a Portfolio held or received by the Portfolio and not delivered to State Street.

Upon receipt of “Proper Instructions” (as such term is defined in Section 6 hereof), State Street shall on behalf of the applicable Portfolio(s) from time to time appoint one or more sub-custodians located in the United States, but only in accordance with an applicable vote by the Board of Trustees or Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) on behalf of the applicable Portfolio(s). State Street may appoint as sub-custodian for the Fund’s foreign securities on behalf of the applicable Portfolio(s) the foreign banking institutions and foreign securities depositories designated in Schedules A and B hereto, but only in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement. State Street shall use all reasonable efforts to include in each agreement whereby State Street appoints any such sub-custodian a provision to the effect that the sub-custodian will be liable to State Street for losses and liabilities caused by the negligence, misfeasance, or willful misconduct of the sub-custodian. State Street shall have no more or less responsibility or liability to the Fund on account of any actions or omissions of any sub-custodian so appointed than any such sub-custodian has to State Street.

The Fund hereby constitutes and appoints State Street to perform certain accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions required of a duly registered investment company under Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and to calculate the net asset value of the Portfolios.

State Street shall provide to the Board the information with respect to custody and settlement practices in countries in which State Street appoints a Foreign Sub-Custodian described on Schedule C hereto at the time or times set forth on such Schedule. State Street may revise Schedule C from time to time, provided that no such revision shall result in the Board being provided with substantively less information than had been previously provided hereunder.

A-12

Section 4.5. Registration of Foreign Securities. The foreign securities maintained in the custody of a Foreign Sub-Custodian (other than bearer securities) shall be registered in the name of the applicable Portfolio or in the name of State Street or in the name of any Foreign Sub-Custodian or in the name of any nominee of the foregoing, and the applicable Fund on behalf of such Portfolio agrees to hold any such nominee harmless from any liability as a holder of record of such foreign securities. State Street or a Foreign Sub-Custodian shall not be obligated to accept securities on behalf of a Portfolio under the terms of this Agreement unless the form of such securities and the manner in which they are delivered are in accordance with reasonable market practice.

Section 4.6 Bank Accounts. State Street shall identify on its books as belonging to each Fund cash (including cash denominated in foreign currencies) deposited with State Street. Where State Street is unable to maintain, or market practice does not facilitate the maintenance of, cash on the books of State Street, a bank account or bank accounts shall be opened and maintained outside the United States on behalf of a Portfolio with a Foreign Sub-Custodian. All accounts referred to in this Section shall be subject only to draft or order by State Street (or, if applicable, such Foreign Sub-Custodian) acting pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to hold cash received by or from or for the account of the Portfolio. Cash maintained on the books of State Street (including its branches, subsidiaries and affiliates), regardless of currency denomination, is maintained in bank accounts established under, and subject to the laws of, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 4.7. Collection of Income. State Street shall use reasonable commercial efforts to collect all income and other payments with respect to the Foreign Assets held hereunder to which the Portfolios shall be entitled and shall credit such income, as collected, to the applicable Portfolio. In the event that extraordinary measures are required to collect such income, the Fund and State Street shall consult as to such measures and as to the compensation and expenses of State Street relating to such measures.

Section 4.8 Shareholder Rights. With respect to the foreign securities held pursuant to this Xxxxxxx 0, Xxxxx Xxxxxx will use reasonable commercial efforts to facilitate the exercise of voting and other shareholder rights, subject always to the laws, regulations and practical constraints that may exist in the country where such securities are issued. The Fund acknowledges that local conditions, including lack of regulation, onerous procedural obligations, lack of notice and other factors may have the effect of severely limiting the ability of the Fund to exercise shareholder rights.

Section 4.9. Communications Relating to Foreign Securities. State Street shall transmit promptly to each Fund written information with respect to Corporate Actions received by State Street via the Foreign Sub-Custodians from issuers of the foreign securities being held for the account of the Portfolios. With respect to tender or exchange offers, State Street shall transmit promptly to a Fund written information with respect to materials so received by State Street from issuers of the foreign securities whose tender or exchange is sought or from the party (or its agents) making the tender or exchange offer. Absent State Street’s negligence, misfeasance, or misconduct, State Street shall not be liable for any untimely exercise of any action, right or power in connection with a Corporate Action unless (i) State Street or the respective Foreign Sub-Custodian is in actual possession of such foreign securities or property and (ii) State Street receives Proper Instructions with regard to the Corporate Action, and both (i) and (ii) occur at least three business days prior to the date on which State Street is to take action to exercise such right or power.

Section 4.10. Liability of Foreign Sub-Custodians. Each agreement pursuant to which State Street appoints a Foreign Sub-Custodian shall, to the extent possible, require the Foreign Sub-Custodian to exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties, and to indemnify, and hold harmless, State Street from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising out

A-13

of or in connection with the Foreign Sub-Custodian’s performance of such obligations. At the Fund’s election, the Portfolios shall be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of State Street with respect to any claims against a Foreign Sub-Custodian as a consequence of any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim if and to the extent that the Portfolios have not been made whole for any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim.

Section 4.11 Tax Law. State Street shall have no responsibility or liability for any obligations now or hereafter imposed on a Fund, the Portfolios or State Street as custodian of the Portfolios by the tax law of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof. It shall be the responsibility of each Fund to notify State Street of the obligations imposed on the Fund with respect to the Portfolios or State Street as custodian of the Portfolios by the tax law of countries other than those mentioned in the above sentence, including responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, certifications and governmental reporting. The sole responsibility of State Street with regard to such tax law shall be to use reasonable efforts to assist a Fund with respect to any claim for exemption or refund under the tax law of countries for which the Fund has provided such information.

Section 4.12. Liability of Custodian. State Street shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a Foreign Sub-Custodian to the same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians generally in this Agreement and, regardless of whether assets are maintained in the custody of a Foreign Sub-Custodian or a Foreign Securities System, State Street shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim resulting from nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, or acts of war or terrorism, or any other loss where the Sub-Custodian has otherwise acted with reasonable care.

Section 5. Payments for Sales or Repurchases or Redemptions of Shares. State Street shall receive from the distributor for the Shares or from the Transfer Agent and deposit into the account of the appropriate Portfolio such payments as are received for Shares thereof issued or sold from time to time by the Fund. State Street will provide timely notification to the Fund on behalf of each such Portfolio and the Transfer Agent of any receipt by it of payments for Shares of such Portfolio.

From such funds as may be available for the purpose, State Street shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Transfer Agent, make funds available for payment to holders of Shares who have delivered to the Transfer Agent a request for redemption or repurchase of their Shares. In connection with the redemption or repurchase of Shares, State Street is authorized upon receipt of instructions from the Transfer Agent to wire funds to or through a commercial bank designated by the redeeming shareholders. In connection with the redemption or repurchase of Shares, State Street shall honor checks drawn on State Street by a holder of Shares, which checks have been furnished by the Fund to the holder of Shares, when presented to State Street in accordance with such procedures and controls as are mutually agreed upon from time to time between the Fund and State Street.

Section 6. Proper Instructions. Proper Instructions as used throughout this Agreement means a writing signed or initialed by one or more person or persons as the Board shall have from time to time authorized. Each such writing shall set forth the specific transaction or type of transaction involved, including a specific statement of the purpose for which such action is requested. Each Fund shall provide State Street with a list of persons authorized to give oral instructions. Oral instructions will be considered Proper Instructions if State Street reasonably believes them to have been given by a person authorized to give such instructions with respect to the transaction involved. State Street shall give a Fund prompt notice of the receipt of an oral instruction and the Fund shall cause all oral instructions to be confirmed in writing. Proper Instructions may include

A-14

communications effected directly between electro-mechanical or electronic devices provided that each Fund and State Street agree to security procedures, including but not limited to, the security procedures selected by a Fund in the Funds Transfer Addendum attached hereto. For purposes of this Section, Proper Instructions shall include instructions received by State Street pursuant to any three-party agreement which requires a segregated asset account in accordance with Section 2.10.

Section 7. Actions Permitted without Express Authority. State Street may in its discretion, without express authority from a Fund on behalf of each applicable Portfolio: 1) make payments to itself or others for minor expenses of handling securities or other similar items relating to its duties under this Agreement, provided that all such payments shall be accounted for to a Fund on behalf of the Portfolio; 2) surrender securities in temporary form for securities in definitive form; 3) endorse for collection, in the name of the Portfolio, checks, drafts and other negotiable instruments; and 4) in general, attend to all non-discretionary details in connection with the sale, exchange, substitution, purchase, transfer and other dealings with the securities and property of the Portfolio except as otherwise directed by the Board.

Section 8. Evidence of Authority State Street shall be protected in acting upon any instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf of a Fund. State Street may receive and accept a copy of a resolution certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of a Fund (“Certified Resolution”) as conclusive evidence (a) of the authority of any person to act in accordance with such resolution or (b) of any determination or of any action by the Board as described in such resolution, and such resolution may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by State Street of written notice to the contrary.

Section 9.

Duties of State Street with Respect to the Books of Account and Calculation of Net Asset Value and Net Income

Section 9.1 Delivery of Accounts and Records. Fund will turn over or cause to be turned over to State Street all accounts and records needed by State Street to perform its duties and responsibilities hereunder fully and properly. State Street may rely conclusively on the completeness and correctness of such accounts and records.

Section 9.2 Accounts and Records. State Street will prepare and maintain, under the direction of and as interpreted by each Fund, each Fund’s or Portfolio’s accountants and/or other advisors, in complete, accurate and current form such accounts and records: (1) required to be maintained by a Fund with respect to portfolio transactions under Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations from time to time adopted thereunder; (2) required as a basis for calculation of each Portfolio’s net asset value; and (3) as otherwise agreed upon by the parties. Fund will advise State Street in writing of all applicable record retention requirements, other than those set forth in the 1940 Act. State Street will preserve such accounts and records in the manner and for the periods prescribed in the 1940 Act or for such longer period as is agreed upon by the parties. Each Fund will furnish, in writing or its electronic or digital equivalent, accurate and timely information needed by State Street to complete such accounts and records when such information is not readily available from generally accepted securities industry services or publications. Upon notification from State Street, a Fund will prepare and maintain the books and records as set forth above on a “back-up” basis from the date hereof until completion of the conversion period in the event that State Street is unable to do so as a result of events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of State Street, including, without limitation, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, or other similar events or acts.

A-15

Section 9.3 Accounts and Records Property of Each Fund. State Street acknowledges that all of the accounts and records maintained by State Street pursuant hereto are the property of a Fund, and will be made available to that Fund for inspection or reproduction within a reasonable period of time, upon demand. State Street will assist a Fund’s independent auditors, or upon the prior written approval of a Fund, or upon demand, any regulatory body, in any requested review of that Fund’s accounts and records but the Fund will reimburse State Street for all expenses and employee time invested in any such review outside of routine and normal periodic reviews. Upon receipt from a Fund of the necessary information or instructions, State Street will supply information from the books and records it maintains for the Fund that the Fund may reasonably request for tax returns, questionnaires, periodic reports to shareholders and such other reports and information requests as the Fund and State Street may agree upon from time to time.

Section 9.4 Adoption of Procedures. State Street and each Fund may from time to time adopt such procedures as they agree upon, and State Street may conclusively assume that no procedure approved or directed by a Fund, a Fund’s or Portfolio’s accountants or other advisors conflicts with or violates any requirements of the prospectus, articles of incorporation, bylaws, declaration of trust, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, decree or agreement by which the Fund may be bound. Each Fund will be responsible for notifying State Street of any changes in statutes, regulations, rules, requirements or policies which may impact State Street responsibilities or procedures under this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Valuation of Assets. State Street will value the assets of each Portfolio in accordance with a Fund’s Instructions utilizing the pricing sources designated by that Fund (“Pricing Sources”) on the Price Source and Methodology Authorization Matrix, incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 10. Records State Street shall with respect to each Portfolio create and maintain all records relating to its activities and obligations under this Agreement in such manner as will meet the obligations of a Fund under the 1940 Act, with particular attention to Section 31 thereof and Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 thereunder. All such records shall be the property of the Fund and shall at all times during the regular business hours of State Street be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of the Fund and employees and agents of the SEC. State Street shall, at a Fund’s request, supply the Fund with a tabulation of securities owned by each Portfolio and held by State Street and shall, when requested to do so by the Fund and for such compensation as shall be agreed upon between the Fund and State Street, include certificate numbers in such tabulations.

Section 11. Opinion of Fund’s Independent Accountant State Street shall take all reasonable action, as a Fund on behalf of each applicable Portfolio may from time to time request, to obtain from year to year favorable opinions from the Fund’s independent accountants with respect to its activities hereunder in connection with the preparation of the Fund’s Form N-1A, and Form N-SAR or other annual reports to the SEC and with respect to any other requirements thereof.

Section 12. Reports to Fund by Independent Public Accountants State Street shall provide each Fund, on behalf of each of the applicable Portfolios at such times as the Fund may reasonably require, with reports by independent public accountants on the accounting system, internal accounting control and procedures for safeguarding securities, futures contracts and options on futures contracts, including securities deposited and/or maintained in a U.S. Securities System or a Foreign Securities System, relating to the services provided by State Street under this Agreement; such reports, shall be of sufficient scope and in sufficient detail, as may reasonably be required by a

A-16

Fund to provide reasonable assurance that any material inadequacies would be disclosed by such examination, and, if there are no such inadequacies, the reports shall so state.

Section 13. Compensation of State Street State Street shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and expenses as custodian and recordkeeper, as agreed upon from time to time between each Fund on behalf of each applicable Portfolio and State Street. The initial Fee Schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Section 14. Responsibility of Custodian So long as and to the extent that it is in the exercise of reasonable care, State Street shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties, including any futures commission merchant acting pursuant to the terms of a three-party futures or options agreement. State Street shall be held to the exercise of reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, but shall be kept indemnified by and shall be without liability to a Fund for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence, including, without limitation, acting in accordance with any Proper Instruction. It shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Fund) on all matters, and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice. State Street shall be without liability to a Fund and the applicable Portfolios for any loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from or caused by anything which is part of Country Risk (as defined in Section 3 hereof), including without limitation nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, or acts of war, revolution, riots or terrorism.

Except as may arise from State Street’s own negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of a sub-custodian or agent, State Street shall be without liability to a Fund for any loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from or caused by; (i) events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of State Street or any sub-custodian or Securities System or any agent or nominee of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities market, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, or other similar events or acts; (ii) errors by the Fund or its duly-authorized investment manager or investment advisor in their instructions to State Street provided such instructions have been in accordance with this Agreement; (iii) the insolvency of or acts or omissions by a Securities System; (iv) any delay or failure of any broker, agent or intermediary, central bank or other commercially prevalent payment or clearing system to deliver to State Street’s sub-custodian or agent securities purchased or in the remittance or payment made in connection with securities sold; (v) any delay or failure of any company, corporation, or other body in charge of registering or transferring securities in the name of State Street, the Fund, State Street’s sub-custodians, nominees or agents or any consequential losses arising out of such delay or failure to transfer such securities including non-receipt of bonus, dividends and rights and other accretions or benefits; (vi) delays or inability to perform its duties due to any disorder in market infrastructure with respect to any particular security or Securities System; and (vii) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the United States of America, or any state thereof, or any other country, or political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent jurisdiction.

State Street shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a Foreign Sub-Custodian (as defined in Section 4 hereof) to the same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians generally in this Agreement.

A-17

If a Fund on behalf of a Portfolio requires State Street to take any action with respect to securities, which action involves the payment of money or which action may, in the opinion of State Street, result in State Street or its nominee assigned to the Fund or the Portfolio being liable for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other form, the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio, as a prerequisite to requiring State Street to take such action, shall provide indemnity to State Street in an amount and form satisfactory to it.

If a Fund requires State Street, its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents, to advance cash or securities for any purpose (including but not limited to securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts and assumed settlement) or in the event that State Street or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such as may arise from its or its nominee’s own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, any property at any time held for the account of the applicable Portfolio shall be security therefor and should the Fund fail to repay State Street promptly, State Street shall be entitled to utilize available cash and to dispose of such Portfolio’s assets to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement.

State Street is not responsible or liable for, and each Fund will indemnify and hold State Street harmless from and against, any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, charges, counsel fees (including, without limitation, disbursements and the allocable cost of in-house counsel), payments and liabilities which may be asserted against or incurred by State Street or for which State Street may be held to be liable, arising out of or attributable to any error, omission, inaccuracy or other deficiency in any Portfolio’s accounts and records or other information provided to State Street by or on behalf of a Portfolio, including the accuracy of the prices quoted by the Pricing Sources or for the information supplied by that Fund to value the assets, or the failure of that Fund to provide, or provide in a timely manner, any accounts, records, or information needed by State Street to perform its duties hereunder.

State Street shall only be liable for direct damages that are the result of State Street’s action or failure to act.

State Street agrees to maintain commercially reasonable back-up and disaster recovery procedures and plans designed to minimize any loss of data or service interruption. Such procedures and plans include each Fund’s provision of certain services as set forth more specifically in Section 9.2 above.

Section 15. Effective Period, Termination and Amendment This Agreement shall become effective as of its execution, shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as hereinafter provided, may be amended at any time by mutual agreement of the parties hereto and may be terminated by either party by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed, postage prepaid to the other party, such termination to take effect not sooner than sixty (60) days after the date of such delivery or mailing; provided, however, that the Fund shall not amend or terminate this Agreement in contravention of any applicable federal or state regulations, or any provision of the Fund’s Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation, or other governing documents, and further provided, that a Fund on behalf of one or more of the Portfolios may at any time by action of its Board (i) substitute another bank or trust company for State Street by giving notice as described above to State Street, or (ii) immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for State Street by the Comptroller of the Currency or upon the happening of a like event at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction. Upon termination of the Agreement:

A-18

each Fund on behalf of each applicable Portfolio shall (a) pay to State Street such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination and shall likewise reimburse State Street for its reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, (b) designate a successor recordkeeper (which may be the Fund) by Proper Instructions; and (c) designate a successor custodian by Proper Instruction.

Upon payment of all sums due to it from a Fund, State Street shall (a) deliver all accounts and records to the successor recordkeeper (or, if none, to that Fund) at the office of State Street, and (b) deliver to such successor custodian at the office of State Street, duly endorsed and in the form for transfer, all securities of each applicable Portfolio then held by it hereunder and shall transfer to an account of the successor custodian all of the securities of each such Portfolio held in a Securities System.

If no such successor custodian shall be appointed, State Street shall, in like manner, upon receipt of a Certified Resolution, deliver at the office of State Street and transfer such securities, funds and other properties in accordance with such resolution.

In the event that no written order designating a successor custodian or Certified Resolution shall have been delivered to State Street on or before the date when such termination shall become effective, then State Street shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust company, which is a “bank” as defined in the 1940 Act, doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, or New York, New York, of its own selection, having an aggregate capital, surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not less than $25,000,000, all securities, funds and other properties held by State Street on behalf of each applicable Portfolio and all instruments held by State Street relative thereto and all other property held by it under this Agreement on behalf of each applicable Portfolio, and to transfer to an account of such successor custodian all of the securities of each such Portfolio held in any Securities System. Thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the successor of State Street under this Agreement.

In the event that accounts, records, securities, funds and other properties remain in the possession of State Street after the date of termination hereof owing to failure of a Fund to procure the Certified Resolution to appoint a successor custodian, State Street shall be entitled to fair compensation for its services during such period as State Street retains possession of such accounts, records, securities, funds and other properties and the provisions of this Agreement relating to the duties and obligations of State Street shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 16. Interpretive and Additional Provisions. In connection with the operation of this Agreement, State Street and each Fund, on behalf of each of the applicable Portfolios, may from time to time agree 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 shall be in a writing signed by both parties and shall be annexed hereto, provided that no such interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any applicable federal or state regulations or any provision of the Fund’s Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation, or other governing documents. No interpretive or additional provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.

Section 17. Additional Funds. In the event that a Fund establishes one or more series with respect to which it desires to have State Street render services as custodian and recordkeeper under the terms hereof, it shall so notify State Street in writing, and if State Street agrees in writing to provide such services, such series of Shares shall become a Portfolio hereunder.

A-19

Section 18. Massachusetts Law to Apply. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 19. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes and terminates, as of the date hereof, all prior Agreements between each Fund on behalf of each of the Portfolios and State Street relating to the custody or recordkeeper of a Fund’s assets.

If a Fund is a Trust, notice is hereby given that this Agreement has been executed on behalf of Fund by the undersigned duly authorized representative of Fund in his/her capacity as such and not individually; and that the obligations of this Agreement are binding only upon the assets and property of Fund and not upon any trustee, officer of shareholder of Fund individually, and, if the Fund is a Massachusetts business trust, that a copy of Fund’s Trust Agreement and all amendments thereto is on file with the Secretary of State of Massachusetts.

Section 25. Shareholder Communications Election. SEC Rule 14b-2 requires banks which hold securities for the account of customers to respond to requests by issuers of securities for the names, addresses and holdings of beneficial owners of securities of that issuer held by the bank unless the beneficial owner has expressly objected to disclosure of this information. In order to comply with the rule, State Street needs the Fund to indicate whether it authorizes State Street to provide the Fund’s name, address, and share position to requesting companies whose securities the Fund owns. If a Fund tells State Street “no”, State Street will not provide this information to requesting companies. If a Fund tells State Street “yes” or does not check either “yes” or “no” below, State Street is required by the rule to treat the Fund as consenting to disclosure of this information for all securities owned by the Fund or any funds or accounts established by the Fund. For each Fund’s protection, the Rule prohibits the requesting company from using the Fund’s name and address for any purpose other than corporate communications. Please indicate below whether each Fund consents or objects by checking one of the alternatives below.
