(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, BNY Mellon has no obligation:

(i) With respect to any Assets until they are actually received in the Account;

(ii) To inquire into, make recommendations, supervise or determine the suitability of any transactions affecting the Account or to question any Instructions;

3

(iii) To determine the adequacy of title to, or the validity or genuineness of, any Assets received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iv) With respect to any matters related to: the establishment, maintenance operation or termination of Customer; or the offer, sale or distribution of the interests in Customer.

(d) If Customer engages in securities lending activities, such activities will be subject to certain additional and/or modified terms to be set forth in a separate written agreement between Customer and BNY Mellon or a BNY Mellon Affiliate.

2.2 Establishment of Account

3. AUTHORIZED PERSONS AND INSTRUCTIONS; ELECTRONIC ACCESS

3.1 Authorized Persons

Promptly following the Effective Date, Customer and/or its designee (including Customer’s investment adviser) will furnish BNY Mellon with one or more written lists or other documentation acceptable to BNY Mellon specifying the names and titles of, or otherwise identifying, all Persons authorized to act on behalf of Customer with respect to this Agreement (each, an “Authorized Person”). Customer will be responsible for keeping such lists and/or other documentation current, and will update such lists and/or other documentation, as necessary from time to time, pursuant to Instructions.

3.2 Instructions

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, BNY Mellon will have no obligation to take any action hereunder unless and until it receives Instructions issued in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Where Customer may or is required to issue Instructions, such Instructions will be issued by an Authorized Person.

(d) BNY Mellon will be entitled to deal with any Authorized Person until notified otherwise pursuant to Instructions, and will be entitled to act and rely upon any Instruction received by BNY Mellon.

4

(e) All Instructions must include all information necessary, and must be delivered using such methods and in such format as BNY Mellon may require and be received within BNY Mellon’s established cut-off times and otherwise in sufficient time, to enable BNY Mellon to act upon such Instructions.

(f) BNY Mellon may in its sole discretion decline to act upon any Instructions that do not comply with requirements set forth in Section 3.2(e) or that conflict with applicable law or regulations or BNY Mellon’s operating policies and practices, in which event BNY Mellon will promptly notify Customer.

(g) Customer acknowledges that while it is not part of BNY Mellon’s normal practices and procedures to accept Oral Instructions, BNY Mellon may in certain limited circumstances accept Oral Instructions. In such event, such Oral Instructions will be deemed to be Instructions for purposes of this Agreement. An Authorized Person issuing such an Oral Instruction will promptly confirm such Oral Instruction to BNY Mellon in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer agrees that the fact that such written confirmation is not received by BNY Mellon, or that such written confirmation contradicts the Oral Instruction, will in no way affect (i) BNY Mellon’s reliance on such Oral Instruction or (ii) the validity or enforceability of transactions authorized by such Oral Instruction and effected by BNY Mellon.

(h) Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to BNY Mellon and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method selected by the sender.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties will be bound by the rules of any transfer system used to effect a Cash transfer under this Agreement.

3.5 Electronic Access

If Customer elects to use the Electronic Access Services in connection with this Agreement, the use thereof will be subject to any terms and conditions contained in a separate written agreement between the Parties or their Affiliates.

4. SUBCUSTODIANS, DEPOSITORIES AND AGENTS

4.1 Use of Subcustodians and Depositories

(a) BNY Mellon will be entitled to utilize Subcustodians and Depositories in connection with its performance hereunder; provided that BNY Mellon will not utilize a Subcustodian that is an “Eligible Foreign Custodian” (as defined in Rule 17f-5 under the 0000 Xxx) to hold “Foreign Assets” (as defined in such Rule 17f-5) until after BNY Mellon is informed, pursuant to such means as determined by BNY Mellon, that Customer’s board of directors or similar governing body or Customer’s “Foreign Custody Manager” (as defined in such Rule 17f-5) has determined that

6

utilization of such Subcustodian satisfies the applicable requirements of such Rule 17f-5.

(b) BNY Mellon will only utilize Subcustodians that have entered into an agreement with BNY Mellon or a BNY Mellon Affiliate, and Assets held through a Subcustodian will be held subject to the terms and conditions of such Subcustodian’s respective agreement.

(c) Assets deposited in a Depository will be held subject to the rules, procedures, terms and conditions of such Depository. Subcustodians may hold Assets in Depositories in which such Subcustodians participate.

(d) In connection with each Depository utilized by BNY Mellon that is a “securities depository” (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act), BNY Mellon (a) will exercise due care in accordance with reasonable commercial standards in discharging its duties as a securities intermediary to obtain and thereafter maintain Securities or financial assets deposited or held in such Depository and (b) will provide, promptly upon request by Customer, such reports as are available concerning the internal accounting controls and financial strength of BNY Mellon.

(e) With respect to each Foreign Depository, BNY Mellon will exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence (a) to provide Customer with an analysis of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with the Foreign Depository and (b) to monitor such custody risks on a continuing basis and promptly notify Customer of any material change in such risks. Customer acknowledges and agrees that such analysis and monitoring will be made on the basis of, and limited by, information gathered from certain Subcustodians or through publicly available information otherwise obtained by BNY Mellon, and will not include any evaluation of the matters referenced in Section 14.2(c)(i).

(f) Unless otherwise required by local law or practice or a particular Subcustodian agreement, Assets deposited with Subcustodians or Depositories may be held in a commingled account in the name of, as applicable, BNY Mellon, a BNY Mellon Affiliate or the applicable Subcustodian, for its clients.

(a) BNY Mellon will exercise the Standard of Care in selecting, retaining and monitoring Subcustodians.

(b) With respect to Assets held by a Subcustodian, BNY Mellon will be liable to Customer for the activities of such Subcustodian under this Agreement to the extent that BNY Mellon would have been liable to Customer under this Agreement if BNY Mellon had performed such activities itself in the relevant market in which such Subcustodian is located; provided, however, that with respect to Securities held by a Subcustodian that is not a BNY Mellon Affiliate:

(i) BNY Mellon’s liability will be limited solely to the extent resulting directly from BNY Mellon’s failure to exercise the Standard of Care in selecting, retaining, and monitoring such Subcustodian; and

7

5.1 Notification

BNY Mellon will notify Customer or its designee of rights or discretionary corporate actions as promptly as practicable under the circumstances, provided that BNY Mellon has actually received, in its capacity as custodian, notice of such right or discretionary corporate action from the relevant issuer, or from a Subcustodian, Depository or third party vendor. Without actual receipt of such notice by XXX Xxxxxx, XXX Xxxxxx will have no responsibility or liability for failing to so notify Customer.

5.2 Exercise of Rights

Whenever there are voluntary rights that may be exercised or alternate courses of action that may be taken with respect to Securities in the Account, Customer or its designee will be responsible for making any decisions relating thereto and for instructing BNY Mellon to act. In order for BNY Mellon to act, Customer must issue Instructions either: (a) using the BNY Mellon-generated form provided along with BNY Mellon’s notice under Section 5.1 or (b) if Customer is not using such BNY Mellon-generated form, clearly indicating, by reference to the options provided on such BNY Mellon-generated form, which action Customer is electing. Each such Instruction will be addressed as BNY Mellon may from time to time request and issued by such time as BNY Mellon will advise Customer or its designee.

5.3 Partial Redemptions, Payments, Etc.

BNY Mellon will advise Customer or its designee upon its notification, in its capacity as custodian, of a partial redemption, partial payment or other action with respect to a Security affecting fewer than all such Securities held within the Account. If BNY Mellon or any Subcustodian or Depository holds any Securities affected by one of the events described, BNY Mellon or such Subcustodian or Depository may select the Securities to

8

participate in such partial redemption, partial payment or other action in any non-discriminatory manner that it customarily uses to make such selection.

6. SETTLEMENT

6.1 Settlement Instructions

Promptly after the execution of each Securities transaction, Customer will issue to BNY Mellon Instructions to settle such transaction. Unless otherwise agreed by BNY Mellon and subject to Section 88.1, Assets will be credited to the Account only when actually received by BNY Mellon.

For the purpose of settling a Securities transaction, Customer will provide BNY Mellon with sufficient immediately available funds or Securities, as applicable, in the Account by such time and date as is required to enable BNY Mellon to settle such transaction in the country of settlement and in the currency to be used to settle such transaction.

6.3 Settlement Practices

Securities transactions will be settled using practices customary in the jurisdiction or market where the transaction occurs, which may include the delivery of Securities or Cash to a counterparty or its agents against, as applicable, the receipt of Securities or Cash in the future. Customer assumes full responsibility for all risks involved in connection with BNY Mellon’s delivery of Securities or Cash in accordance with such practices.

7. TAX MATTERS

7.1 Tax Obligations

To the extent that BNY Mellon has received relevant and necessary information with respect to the Account, BNY Mellon will perform the following services with respect to Tax Obligations:

(a) BNY Mellon (or the applicable Subcustodian) will apply, withhold and report appropriate amounts as BNY Mellon (in its capacity as custodian) or the applicable Subcustodian (in its capacity as subcustodian) is required to do under the relevant source country tax laws, and is authorized to debit the Account in the amount of a Tax Obligation withheld and to pay such amount to the appropriate taxing authority;

(b) BNY Mellon will, where appropriate and upon receipt of sufficient information, pursue claims for tax relief, exemptions or refunds where (i) either a tax treaty or a source country’s domestic tax laws provide for favorable tax treatment with respect to an Asset as a result of Customer’s status as a specific type of investor and/or residency status and (ii) the source country’s tax authorities have outlined the requirements and qualification criteria required to obtain such relief; and

9

(c) BNY Mellon will forward to Customer or its designee information regarding Tax Obligations applicable to Customer that BNY Mellon receives in its capacity as custodian from third parties and that BNY Mellon reasonably believes would be useful to Customer or its designee in the submission of any reports or returns with respect to Tax Obligations.

7.2 Responsibility for Taxes

Customer will be responsible and liable for all Tax Obligations with respect to any Assets held on behalf of Customer and any transaction related thereto. Customer acknowledges and agrees that BNY Mellon and its Affiliates are not tax advisers and will not under any circumstances provide tax advice to Customer. Customer will obtain its own independent tax advice for any tax-related matters.

7.3 Payments

Where BNY Mellon receives Instructions to make distributions or transfers out of the Account in order to pay Customer’s third party service providers, Customer acknowledges that in making such payments BNY Mellon is acting in an administrative or ministerial capacity, and not as the payor, for tax information reporting and withholding purposes.

8. CREDITS AND ADVANCES

8.1 Contractual Settlement and Income

BNY Mellon may, in its sole discretion, as a matter of bookkeeping convenience, credit the Account with the proceeds resulting from the purchase, sale, redemption or other delivery or receipt of Securities, or interest, dividends or other distributions payable on Securities prior to its actual receipt thereof. All such credits will be conditional until BNY Mellon’s actual receipt of such proceeds and may be reversed by BNY Mellon to the extent that such proceeds are not received. Actual receipt of proceeds with respect to a transaction will not be deemed to have occurred, and the transaction will not be considered final, until BNY Mellon has received sufficient immediately available funds or Securities specifically applicable to such transaction that, under applicable local law, rule or practice, are irreversible and not subject to any security interest, levy or other encumbrance.

8.2 Advances

If BNY Mellon receives an Instruction that, if processed, would result in an overdraft in the Account, BNY Mellon may, in its sole discretion, advance funds in any currency hereunder.

8.3 Repayment

If: (a) BNY Mellon has advanced funds to the Account; (b) an overdraft has occurred in the Account (including overdrafts incurred in connection with the settlement of securities transactions, funds transfers or foreign exchange transactions) or (c) Customer is for any other reason indebted to BNY Mellon, Customer agrees to repay BNY Mellon (on demand or upon becoming aware thereof) the amount of such advance, overdraft or indebtedness, plus accrued interest at a rate then charged by BNY Mellon to its institutional custody clients in the relevant currency.

10

8.4 Securing Repayment

In order to secure repayment of Customer’s obligations and liabilities (whether or not matured) to BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate, whether or not relating to or arising under this Agreement, and without limiting BNY Mellon’s or such BNY Mellon Affiliate’s rights under applicable law or any other agreement, Customer hereby pledges and grants to BNY Mellon and such BNY Mellon Affiliate, and agrees BNY Mellon and such BNY Mellon Affiliate will have to the maximum extent permitted by law, a continuing first lien and security interest in: (a) all of Customer’s right, title and interest in and to the Account and the Assets now or hereafter held in the Account (including proceeds thereof) and (b) any other property at any time held by BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate relating to Customer; provided that Customer does not hereby grant a security interest in any Securities issued by an affiliate (as defined in Xxxxxxx 00X xx xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxx) of BNY Mellon. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that it owns the Assets in the Account, and such other property at any time held by BNY Mellon or a BNY Mellon Affiliate relating to Customer, free and clear of all liens, claims and security interests (except as otherwise agreed by BNY Mellon in writing), and that the first lien and security interest granted herein will be subject to no setoffs, counterclaims or other liens prior to or on parity with it in favor of any third party (other than specific liens granted preferred status by statute or as otherwise agreed by BNY Mellon in writing). Unless otherwise agreed by BNY Mellon in writing, BNY Mellon will be entitled to collect from the Account sufficient Cash for reimbursement and if such Cash is insufficient to sell Securities in the Account to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement. In this regard, BNY Mellon will be entitled to all the rights and remedies of a pledgee, secured creditor and/or securities intermediary under applicable laws and rules as then in effect as if Customer is in default.

8.5 Setoff

BNY Mellon has the right to debit any Cash for any amount payable by Customer in connection with any and all obligations and liabilities (whether or not matured) of Customer to BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate whether or not relating to or arising under this Agreement. In addition to the rights of BNY Mellon or such BNY Mellon Affiliate under applicable law or any other agreement, at any time when Customer has not honored any of its obligations to BNY Mellon or such XXX Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, XXX Xxxxxx will have the right without notice to Customer to retain or set-off against any obligations relating to Customer any cash BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate may directly or indirectly hold with respect to Customer, and any obligations (whether or not matured) that BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate may have with respect to Customer in any currency. Any such cash or obligation relating to Customer may be transferred to BNY Mellon and any BNY Mellon Affiliate in order to effect the above rights.

9. STATEMENTS; BOOKS AND RECORDS; THIRD PARTY DATA

9.1 Statements

BNY Mellon will make available to Customer, through the Electronic Access Services, a monthly statement (or report for such other time period as to which the Parties may agree upon from time to time) reflecting all transfers to or from the Account during such month and all holdings in the Account as of the last business day of such month (or as of such

11

other date(s) as to which the Parties may agree upon from time to time). Customer will promptly review each such statement and, within ninety (90) days of when such statement is made available by BNY Mellon, notify BNY Mellon of any exception or objection thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may notify BNY Mellon of any such exceptions or objections at any time; provided, however, that BNY Mellon will not be responsible or liable for any losses that could have been mitigated had such notice been provided during such ninety (90) day period.

9.2 Books and Records

The books and records directly pertaining to the Account which are in the possession of BNY Mellon will be the property of Customer. Such books and records will be prepared and maintained as required by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. BNY Mellon will identify on its books and records the Assets belonging to Customer whether held directly or indirectly through Subcustodians or Depositories. Securities held in the Account will be held in registered form in the name of BNY Mellon or one of its nominees and will be segregated on BNY Mellon’s books and records from BNY Mellon’s own property. Customer and its authorized representatives will have the right, at Customer’s own expense and with reasonable prior written notice to BNY Mellon, to have reasonable access to those books and records directly pertaining to the Account. Any such access will occur during BNY Mellon’s normal business hours and will be subject to BNY Mellon’s applicable security policies and procedures. Upon Customer’s reasonable request, copies of those books and records directly pertaining to the Account will be provided by BNY Mellon to Customer or its authorized representative.

9.3 Third Party Data

10. DISCLOSURES

10.1 Required Disclosure

(a) With respect to Securities that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that are issued by an issuer registered under the 1940 Act, the Shareholder Communications Act of 1985 (the “Act”) requires BNY Mellon to disclose to issuers of such Securities, upon their request, the name, address and securities position of BNY Mellon’s clients who are “beneficial owners” (as defined in the Act) of the issuer’s Securities, unless the beneficial owner objects to such disclosure. The Act defines a “beneficial owner” as any person who has or shares the power to vote a security (pursuant to an agreement or otherwise) or who directs the voting of a security. Customer has designated on the signature page hereof whether (i) as beneficial owner, it objects to the disclosure of its name, address and securities position to any U.S. issuer that requests such information pursuant to the Act for the specific purpose of direct communications between such issuer and Customer or (ii) it requires BNY Mellon to contact Customer’s investment adviser with respect to relevant Securities to make the decision as to whether it objects to the disclosure of the beneficial owner’s name, address and securities position to any U.S. issuer that requests such information pursuant to the Act.

(b) With respect to certain Securities issued outside the United States, BNY Mellon may disclose information to issuers of Securities as required by the organizational documents of the relevant issuer or in accordance with local market practice.

(c) In connection with any disclosure contemplated by this Section 10, Customer agrees to supply BNY Mellon with any required information.

10.2 Foreign Exchange Transactions

In connection with this Agreement, Customer may enter into foreign exchange transactions (including foreign exchange hedging transactions) with BNY Mellon or a BNY Mellon Affiliate acting as a principal or otherwise through customary channels. Customer may issue standing Instructions with respect to any such foreign exchange transactions, subject to any rules or limitations that may apply to any foreign exchange facility made available to Customer. With respect to any such foreign exchange transactions, BNY Mellon or such BNY Mellon Affiliate is acting as a principal counterparty on its own behalf and is not acting as a fiduciary or agent for, or on behalf of, Customer, Customer’s investment adviser or the Account.

10.3 Investment of Cash

In connection with this Agreement, Customer may issue standing Instructions to invest Cash in one or more sweep investment vehicles. Such investment vehicles may be offered by a BNY Mellon Affiliate or by a client of BNY Mellon, and BNY Mellon may receive compensation therefrom. By making investment vehicles available, BNY Mellon and its Affiliates will not be deemed to have recommended, endorsed or guaranteed any

13

such investment vehicle in any way or otherwise to have acted as a fiduciary or agent for, or on behalf of, Customer, Customer’s investment adviser or the Account. BNY Mellon will have no liability for any loss incurred on any such investments. Customer understands that Cash may be uninvested if it is received or reconciled to the Account after the applicable deadline to be swept into Customer’s selected investment vehicle.

11. REGULATORY MATTERS

11.1 USA PATRIOT Act

Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (including its implementing regulations) requires BNY Mellon to implement a customer identification program pursuant to which BNY Mellon must obtain certain information from Customer in order to verify Customer’s identity prior to establishing the Account. Accordingly, prior to establishing the Account, Customer will be required to provide BNY Mellon with certain information, including Customer’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other pertinent identifying information, to enable BNY Mellon to verify Customer’s identity. Customer acknowledges that BNY Mellon cannot establish the Account unless and until BNY Mellon has successfully performed such verification.

(b) Customer acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the services provided by BNY Mellon under this Agreement, each of Customer’s investors is not a customer or joint customer with BNY Mellon. Customer (and not BNY Mellon) has the responsibility to, and will, fulfill any compliance requirement or obligation with respect to each of its investors under all Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Without limiting any obligation imposed on Customer by Anti-Money Laundering Laws, throughout the term of this Agreement, Customer will maintain a reasonable compliance program with respect to its investors that includes the following: (i) a know-your-customer program in order to understand and verify the identity of each investor, in accordance with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and the relevant regulations thereunder, (ii) a transaction surveillance and monitoring program, and (iii) a policy for identifying and reporting any suspicious transactions and/or activities with respect to each investor to the appropriate law enforcement and regulatory authorities and to BNY Mellon where related to the services provided by BNY Mellon hereunder.

(c) Customer will promptly provide to BNY Mellon such information as BNY Mellon reasonably requests in connection with the matters referenced in this Section 1111.2, including information regarding (i) the Account, (ii) the Assets and the source thereof, (iii) the identity of any individual or entity having or claiming an interest therein, including any investor, and (iv) Customer’s anti-money laundering and Sanctions compliance programs and any related records and/or transaction information, including with respect to any investor, regardless of whether such request is made under USA PATRIOT Act Section 314(b) (where applicable). Customer will cooperate with BNY Mellon and provide assistance reasonably requested by BNY Mellon in connection with any anti-money laundering and terrorist financing or Sanctions inquiries. Prior to delivering to BNY Mellon the assets of any investor, Customer will obtain from each such investor, and will continue to maintain in effect throughout the term of this Agreement, any consents or waivers that may be required under applicable law in order to comply with the foregoing obligations.

(d) BNY Mellon may decline to act or provide services in respect of the Account, and take such other actions as it, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or advisable, in connection with the matters referenced in this Section 1111.2. If BNY Mellon declines to act or provide services as provided in the preceding sentence, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law or official request, BNY Mellon will inform Customer as soon as reasonably practicable.

(e) While Customer remains responsible for the matters set forth in Section 11.2(a) and Section 11.2(b), it is noted that certain duties relating to such matters may be delegated by Customer to its transfer agent service provider.

12. COMPENSATION

12.1 Fees and Expenses

In consideration of BNY Mellon’s services provided hereunder, Customer will (a) pay to BNY Mellon the fees set forth in the agreed upon fee schedule (as such fee schedule may be amended by BNY Mellon from time to time upon thirty (30) day’s prior written notice to Customer) and (b) reimburse BNY Mellon for any out-of-pocket and incidental expenses incurred by BNY Mellon in connection therewith. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, such amounts will be payable to BNY Mellon within thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of the relevant invoice.

Applications on such authenticated devices will be housed within an encrypted container and BNY Mellon will maintain the ability to remote wipe the contents of the container.

F.            Data Leakage Prevention (DLP). BNY Mellon will deploy DLP tools reasonably designed to help detect and prevent unauthorized transfers of Customer Data outside BNY Mellon’s network.

G.            Disposal. BNY Mellon will maintain chain of custody procedures and require that any Customer Data requiring disposal be rendered inaccessible, cleaned or scrubbed from such hardware and/or media using industry recognized methods.

VIII.       Physical Security. BNY Mellon will deploy perimeter security such as barrier access controls around its facilities processing or storing Customer Data. The ISP will include (i) procedures for validating visitor identity and authorization to enter the premises, which may include identification checks, issuance of identification badges and recording of entry purpose of visit and (ii) physical security policies for personnel, such as a “clean desk” policy. In accordance with its ISP and applicable law, BNY Mellon will install closed circuit television (“CCTV”) systems and CCTV recording systems to monitor and record access to controlled areas, such as data centers and server rooms.
