(d)BNYM-AIS shall, as agent for the Company, maintain and keep current the books, accounts and other documents, if any, listed in Schedule II. Such books, accounts and other documents shall be made available upon reasonable request for inspection by officers, employees and auditors of the Company during BNYM-AIS’s normal business hours.

Except as otherwise authorized by the Company or its agents, all such records (other than those which are not of a material nature) shall be preserved by BNYM-AIS for a period of at least six (6) years, unless delivered to a duly appointed successor or to the Company. In the event the Company utilizes the BNYM-AIS Anti-Money Laundering services described herein, BNYM-AIS will maintain records relating to this service as follows: (i) the shorter of (a) at least five (5) years from the date the Shareholder liquidates its investment in the Company, or (b) such time as the Company converts to a successor administrator with a corresponding transfer of such records by BNYM-AIS; or (ii) in the case of a liquidation of the Company, the shorter of (a) for at least five (5) years from the date the Company liquidates or (b) until such records are transferred by BNYM-AIS to the Company’s appointed liquidator or another designated Company agent.

- 5 -

BNYM-AIS in the performance of its duties hereunder. BNYM-AIS shall calculate the Company’s Net Assets in the manner described in the Offering Materials. At any time and from time to time, the Company may, if consistent with and to the extent permitted by the Offering Materials, furnish BNYM-AIS with bid, offer, or market values of securities and instruct BNYM-AIS to use such information in its calculations hereunder. BNYM-AIS shall at no time be required or obligated to commence or maintain either any utilization of, or subscriptions to, any securities pricing or similar service or any arrangements with any brokers, dealers or market makers or specialists described in the Offering Materials.

(g)In the event BNYM-AIS’s computations hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information, including (i) bid, offer or market values of securities or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings thereon, from a pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by BNYM-AIS which BNYM-AIS in its reasonable judgment determines to be reliable, or (ii) prices or values supplied by the Company or by brokers, dealers, market makers, or specialists described in the Offering Materials, BNYM-AIS shall not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into, or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information.

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

(h)The method of valuation of securities and the method of computing the Net Assets shall be as set forth in the then currently effective Offering Materials of the Company. To the extent the description of the valuation methodology of securities or computation of Net Assets as specified in the Company’s then currently effective Offering Materials is at any time inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, the Company shall immediately so notify BNYM-AIS in writing and thereafter shall either furnish BNYM-AIS at all appropriate times with the values of such securities and Net Assets, or subject to the prior approval of BNYM-AIS, instruct BNYM-AIS in writing as to the appropriate valuation methodology to be employed by BNYM-AIS to compute Net Assets in a manner that the Company then represents in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company may also from time to time, instruct BNYM-AIS in writing to compute the value of the securities or Net Assets in a manner other than as specified in this Agreement; provided that, BNYM-AIS shall provide its prior approval in connection with such computation solely to confirm it has the capability to perform such calculations and implement any required process changes in support of such calculations. By giving such instruction, the Company shall be deemed to have represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and the then currently effective Offering Materials.

(i)BNYM-AIS may apply to an Authorized Person of the Company for Instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with BNYM-AIS’s performance of services hereunder, and BNYM-AIS shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such clarified Instructions, absent BNYM-AIS’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such application for Instructions may, at the option of BNYM-AIS, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by BNYM-AIS with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement. BNYM-AIS shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified therein unless, prior to such date for taking or omitting to take any such action, BNYM-AIS has received Instructions from an Authorized Person in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

- 6 -

(j)BNYM-AIS may, with respect to questions of law specifically regarding the Company, obtain the advice of competent external counsel at BNYM-AIS’s sole expense and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with such advice; provided that, and notwithstanding any advice to the contrary, any action taken by BNYM-AIS must be consistent with BNYM-AIS’s rights and responsibilities under this Agreement.

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

(l)The Company has determined that BNYM-AIS shall not provide registrar, transfer agency or investor servicing.

The Company has determined its review and verification procedures as related to investors to be adequate in satisfying the legal obligations of the Company as related to the acceptance of each investor with respect to anti-money laundering and FATCA services and directs BNYM-AIS that is shall not perform any services related to the foregoing. Accordingly, BNYM-AIS shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever relating to anti-money laundering or FATCA services, including but not limited to investor identification and verifications/know your customer obligations (including OFAC or similar screening, monitoring and/or reporting), the review and validation of any investor’s FATCA status and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against BNYM-AIS in connection with this Agreement relating thereto.

The BNY Mellon Group may centralize functions, including audit, accounting, risk, legal, compliance, sales, administration, product communication, relationship management, storage, compilation and analysis of customer-related data, and other functions (the “Centralized Functions”) in one or more affiliates, subsidiaries and third-party service providers. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement, solely in connection with the Centralized Functions, (i) the Company consents to the disclosure of, and authorizes BNYM-AIS to disclose, information regarding the Company and its accounts (“Company-Related Data”) to the BNY Mellon Group and to its third-party service providers who are subject to confidentiality obligations substantially similar to the confidentiality obligations elaborated in this Agreement with respect to such information and (ii) BNYM-AIS may store the names and business addresses of the Company’s employees on the systems or in the records of the BNY Mellon Group or its service providers. In addition, BNY Mellon Group may aggregate and anonymize Company-Related Data with other data collected and/or calculated by the BNY Mellon Group, and the BNY Mellon Group will own all such aggregated data, provided that the BNY Mellon Group shall not distribute the aggregated data in a format that identifies or links Company-Related Data with the Company, or which in any manner could be reverse engineered to identify the Company, BNYM-AIS being liable for any direct damages associated with any such identification of Company-Related Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Company-Related Data shall not include personally identifiable information of any Shareholder (unless such Shareholder is an employee of the Company). In addition, BNYM-AIS may disclose Company-Related Data as required by law or at the request of any governmental or regulatory authority; provided, however, that, to the extent legally permissible, BNYM-AIS shall make reasonable efforts to provide the Company with written notice prior to making any such disclosure.

(p)BNYM-AIS will take reasonable precautions to ensure the security of Shareholder records and information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records or information, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that would result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any Shareholder and will maintain reasonable procedures to detect and respond to any internal or external security breaches. BNYM-AIS will monitor and review its procedures periodically and revise them, as necessary, to ensure they appropriately address any reasonably foreseeable risks.

(q)BNYM-AIS may utilize systems, software and databases designed or provided by third parties, including but not limited to pricing and valuation services. Absent BNYM-AIS’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, BNYM-AIS shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense that occurs as a result of the failure of any such systems, software or databases, provided that such systems, software and/or databases were selected with reasonable care. No such vendor shall be an agent or delegee of BNYM-AIS hereunder.

(r)BNYM-AIS shall make reasonable provisions for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available and, in the event of equipment failures, BNYM-AIS shall, at no additional expense to the Company, take

- 8 -

reasonable steps to minimize service interruption. BNYM-AIS shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or service caused by equipment failure, provided such loss or interruption is not caused by BNYM-AIS’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8.Allocation of Expenses.

BNYM-AIS shall be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (such as telephone, facsimile, photocopy, overnight courier and messenger charges, postage, etc.) incurred in connection with the performance of any administrative services required, as well as any fees, costs and expenses permitted to be procured for the Company by BNYM-AIS pursuant to this Agreement. BNYM-AIS shall supply supporting expense documentation to the Company if so requested and to the extent such documentation is available.

9.Standard of Care; Indemnification.

In no event shall BNYM-AIS be liable to the Company or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with its performance hereunder, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.
