2.	Appointment; Transactions in Shares.

a. As applicable, Servicer is hereby appointed and hereby accepts appointment as a limited agent of the Companies for the sole purpose of receiving Orders on behalf of the Funds from investors placing Orders through the Platforms (“Platform Investors”).

EXHIBIT C

Shareholder Information Agreement

Agreement to Provide Information. Servicer agrees to provide Distributor or Administrator or their delegate (“Fund Agent”), upon written request, the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) the Individual/International Taxpayer Identification Number (“ITIN”), or other government-issued identifier (“GII”), if known, of any or all Shareholder(s) of the account, the name or other identifier of any investment professional(s) associated with the Shareholder(s) or account (if known), and the amount, date and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held through an account maintained by Servicer during the period covered by the request.

Period Covered by Request. Requests must set forth a specific period, not to exceed 180 days from the date of the request, for which transaction information is sought. Fund Agent may request transaction information older than 180 days from the date of the request as it deems necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by a Company for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by a Fund. If mutually agreed upon by Fund Agent and Servicer, Servicer will provide the information specified for each trading day in the period.

Form and Timing of Response. Servicer agrees to provide, promptly upon request of Fund Agent, the requested information specified in this Section 1. If requested by Fund Agent, Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to determine promptly whether any specific person about whom it has received the identification and transaction information specified in this Section 1 is itself a “financial intermediary,” as that term is defined in Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act (an “Indirect Intermediary”) and, upon further request of Fund Agent, promptly either (i) provide (or arrange to have provided) the information set forth in this Section 1 for those Shareholders who hold an account with an Indirect Intermediary or (ii) restrict or prohibit the Indirect Intermediary from purchasing, in nominee name on behalf of other persons, Shares. Servicer additionally agrees to inform Fund Agent whether it plans to perform (i) or (ii) above. Responses required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing and in a format mutually agreed upon by Servicer and Fund Agent. To the extent practicable, the format for any Shareholder and transaction information provided to Fund Agent should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format.

Limitations on Use of Information. Fund Agent agrees not to use and agrees to cause each Company not to use the information received for marketing or any other similar purpose without the prior written consent of Servicer; provided, however, that this provision shall not limit the use of publicly available information, information already in the possession of Fund Agent, a Company or their affiliates at the time the information is received pursuant to this Agreement

C-1

or information which comes into the possession of Fund Agent, a Company or their affiliates from a third party.

Agreement to Restrict Trading. Servicer agrees to execute written instructions from Fund Agent to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been identified by Fund Agent as having engaged in transactions in Shares (directly or indirectly through Servicer’s account) that violate policies established or utilized by a Company or Fund Agent for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by a Fund.

Form of Instructions. Instructions must include the TIN, ITIN or GII, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed. If the TIN, ITIN or GII is not known, the instructions must include an equivalent identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or account(s) or other agreed upon information to which the instruction relates.

Timing of Response. Servicer agrees to execute instructions from Fund Agent as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five business days after receipt of the instructions by Servicer.

Confirmation by Servicer. Servicer must provide written confirmation to Fund Agent or its delegate that Fund Agent’s instructions to restrict or prohibit trading have been executed. Servicer agrees to provide confirmation as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten business days after the instructions have been executed.

3.	Detecting Violations. Servicer agrees to make reasonable efforts to assist each Company and its service providers (including Distributor and Administrator) in preventing and detecting excessive, short-term trading of Shares and other abusive practices, including “market timing.”

4.	Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit C, the following terms shall have the following meanings, unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context:

The term “Funds” shall mean the constituent series of the Companies, but for the purposes of this Exhibit C such term shall not include Funds excepted from the requirements of paragraph (a) of Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act by paragraph (b) of Rule 22c-2.

The term “promptly” shall mean as soon as practicable but in no event later than 5 business days from Servicer’s receipt of the request for information from Fund Agent.

The term “Shareholder” shall include the interpretation thereof set forth in Rule 22c-2 under the 0000 Xxx.

The term “written” includes electronic writings and facsimile transmissions.

In addition, for purposes of this Exhibit C, the term “purchase” does not include the automatic reinvestment of dividends or distributions.

EXHIBIT D

Operational Terms

Administrator or its delegate(s) will furnish Servicer or its delegate, on each Business Day with respect to each Class of each Fund made available by such Servicer, with (i) net asset value information as determined at or about the Valuation Time and (ii) income accrual factors, dividend, and capital gains information as it becomes available. Administrator or its delegate(s) will use best efforts to provide net asset value, income accrual, dividend and capital gains information to Servicer or its designee by 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each Business Day. Servicer will ensure that all Orders are dated and time stamped when received by Servicer or any Indirect Intermediary.

Unless otherwise instructed by Servicer, dividends and capital gains distributions from any Fund shall be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of such Fund.

Except with respect to the processing of Orders utilizing the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) Fund/SERV system (“Fund/SERV”) or the Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement System (“DCC&S”), as discussed below, payment for net purchases of Shares attributable to all Orders placed with a Company or the Transfer Agent as of the Valuation Time on a given Business Day will be wired by Servicer or its delegate to such Company’s custodial account designated by the Administrator no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next Business Day. Purchases of Shares will settle only upon receipt of payment in full by the Transfer Agent or other delegate of the Company. Administrator ordinarily shall provide for payment of net redemptions of Shares attributable to Orders received in good order by Servicer or its delegate prior to the Valuation Time on a given Business Day to be wired to a custodial account designated by Servicer no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the next Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company may, if it deems appropriate, delay redemptions of the Shares of a Fund or postpone payment upon redemption, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

If, and to the extent, Distributor and Servicer process Orders through Fund/SERV, and/or utilize the NSCC Networking system (“NETWORKING”) or DCC&S in connection with processing, account reconciliation and dividend processing, Servicer represents that it has access to Fund/SERV, NETWORKING and/or DCC&S services. Distributor and Servicer shall abide by the Rules & Procedures of the NSCC (“Rules”) and the Rules shall be part of the terms and conditions of each transaction and/or other processes that utilize Fund/SERV, NETWORKING and/or DCC&S services. For all Orders processed other than through the NSCC, Servicer shall comply with such reasonable procedures as Distributor shall specify.

Receipt in “good order” shall mean that all documentation, information, date and time stamps, signatures, and signature guarantees are complete, accurate and legible, and have otherwise been obtained and/or verified to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, Transfer Agent, Distributor or Administrator in a manner consistent with industry standards and practices, and are compliant with all requirements of Company policies, applicable laws, rules and regulations pertaining thereto.
