II. TERMS OF INVESTMENT

2.1 In order to help reasonably address the risk of undue influence on an Acquired Fund by an Acquiring Fund, and to assist the Acquired Fund’s investment adviser with making the required findings under the Rule, each Acquiring Fund and each Acquired Fund agree as follows solely with respect to an investment by such Acquiring Fund in an Acquired Fund that exceeds the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A)(i) of the 1940 Act:

(i) In-kind redemptions. The Acquiring Fund acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent consistent with the Acquired Fund’s registration statement, as amended from time to time, the Acquired Fund may honor any redemption request partially or wholly in-kind.

(ii) Timing/advance notice of redemptions. The Acquiring Fund will use reasonable efforts to spread redemption requests greater than $200 million over multiple days or to provide advance notification of such redemption requests to the Acquired Fund(s) if practicable and consistent with the Acquiring Fund’s best interests. The Acquired Fund acknowledges and agrees that any notification provided pursuant to the foregoing is not a commitment to redeem and constitutes an estimate that may differ materially from the amount, timing and manner in which a redemption request is submitted, if any.

(iii) Scale of investment. Upon a reasonable request by an Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund will provide summary information regarding the anticipated timeline of its investment in the Acquired Fund and the scale of its contemplated investment in the Acquired Fund. The Acquired Fund acknowledges and agrees that any information provided pursuant to the foregoing is not a commitment to purchase and constitutes an estimate that may differ materially from the amount, timing and manner in which a purchase order is submitted, if any.

2.2 Section 2.1 shall not apply to any purchases or sales of Acquired Funds that are listed in the secondary market.

2.3 In order to assist the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) or sub-adviser with evaluating the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with an investment in an Acquired Fund, each Acquired Fund shall provide each Acquiring Fund and its Adviser (and if applicable, sub-adviser) with information reasonably requested to comply with the terms and conditions of Rule 12d1-4, including information on the fees and expenses of the Acquired Fund.

III. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ACQUIRING AND ACQUIRED FUNDS

3.1 In connection with any investment by an Acquiring Fund in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations in Section 12(d)(1)(A), the Acquired Fund agrees to: (i) comply with all conditions of the Rule, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, applicable to Acquired Funds; (ii) comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) promptly notify the Acquiring Fund if the Acquired Fund fails to comply with the Rule with respect to an investment by the Acquiring Fund, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, or this Agreement.

2

3.2 Each Acquired Fund agrees that any information regarding planned purchases or redemptions of shares of an Acquired Fund provided pursuant to Section 2.1 will be treated confidentially, used solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and will not be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of the Acquiring Fund, except for directors/trustees, officers, employees, accountants, service providers and other advisers of the Acquired Fund and its affiliates on a need-to-know basis and solely for the purposes of this Agreement.

3.3 Each Acquired Fund represents that it will not purchase or otherwise acquire during the term of this Agreement, the securities of an investment company or private fund (as defined in the Rule) where immediately after such purchase or acquisition, the securities of investment companies and private funds owned by the Acquired Fund have an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the total assets of the Acquired Fund except as otherwise permitted by the Rule and guidance issued thereunder by the SEC or its Staff, or relevant SEC exemptive relief.

3.4 In connection with any investment by an Acquiring Fund in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations in Section 12(d)(1)(A), the Acquiring Fund agrees to: (i) comply with all conditions of the Rule, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, applicable to the Acquiring Fund; (ii) comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) promptly notify the Acquired Fund if such Acquiring Fund fails to comply with the Rule or this Agreement with respect to its investment in such Acquired Fund such that the Acquired Fund would not be permitted to rely on the Rule with respect to Section 12(d)(1)(B), as such Rule is interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time.

IV. CERTIFICATIONS

4.1 Each Underlying Company, on behalf of itself and its respective Acquired Funds, agrees to deliver to the Fidelity Trust and the Adviser on an annual basis a certificate, duly certified by the President, Chief Compliance Officer, or any Vice President of the Underlying Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
