MASTER ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
This Master Administration Agreement (“Agreement”) dated as of May 10, 2018 and effective as set forth in Section 13 hereof, is by and between State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company (the “Administrator”), and each management investment company identified on Schedule A attached hereto and each management investment company made subject to this Agreement in accordance with Section 1 below, severally and not jointly.
WHEREAS, each Trust (as defined below) is an open-end management investment company currently comprised of multiple series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by means of a registration statement (“Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and
WHEREAS, each Trust desires to retain the Administrator to furnish certain administrative services to the Trust, and the Administrator is willing to furnish such services, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATOR |
All references herein to the “Trust” are to each of the management investment companies listed on Schedule A hereto, and each management investment company made subject to this Agreement in accordance with this Section 1, individually, as if this Agreement was between such individual Trust and the Administrator. In the case of a series organization, all references in this Agreement to the “Fund” are to the Trust on behalf of that specific series of the series organization, as appropriate. Any reference in this Agreement to “the parties” shall mean the Administrator and the individual Trust as to which the matter pertains.
In the event that any management investment company in addition to those listed on Schedule A hereto desires to retain the Administrator to act as administrator hereunder, such management investment company shall notify the Administrator in writing. Upon written acceptance by the Administrator, such management investment company shall become a Trust hereunder and shall be subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the existing Trust(s), except to the extent that such terms, conditions and provisions (including those relating to the compensation and expenses payable by such Trust and its Funds) may be modified in writing by the Trust and the Administrator at the time of the addition of the Trust.
The Trust hereby appoints the Administrator to act as administrator with respect to the Trust for purposes of providing certain administrative services for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Administrator accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services stated herein.
The Trust will initially consist of the Funds listed in Schedule A to this Agreement. In the event that the Trust establishes one or more additional Funds with respect to which it wishes to retain the Administrator to act as administrator hereunder, the Trust shall notify the Administrator in writing. Upon written acceptance by the Administrator, such Fund shall become subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the existing Fund(s), except to the extent that such terms, conditions and provisions (including those relating to the compensation and expenses payable by the Trust and its Funds) may be modified with respect to each additional Fund in writing by the Trust and the Administrator at the time of the addition of the Fund.

7. | INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE |
At any time, the Administrator may apply to any officer of the Trust or his or her designee for instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Administrator under this Agreement. The Administrator shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Trust) on all matters, and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice.
Pursuant to other agreements now or at any time in effect between the Trust (or its investment manager or investment advisor, on its behalf) and State Street Bank and Trust Company or its affiliates (the “Other State Street Agreements”) in any capacity other than as Administrator hereunder (in such other capacities, “State Street”), State Street may be in possession of certain information and data relating to the Trust and/or the Funds that is necessary to provide the Services, including Form N-PORT Support Services. The Trust hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Section 7 of the Agreement serves as its consent and instruction, or Proper Instruction, as the case may be, for itself and on behalf of each Fund under and pursuant to such Other State Street Agreements for State Street to provide or otherwise make available (including via platforms such as xx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) to the Administrator, Trust and Fund information such as net asset values and information relating to the net assets of the Funds, holdings reports, registrant information, market value and other information and data related to the Funds.
The Administrator shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Trust, for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon any such instructions or advice or upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons. The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Fund(s). Nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing upon the Administrator any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received; provided, however, that the Administrator shall provide written notice to the Trust prior to acting in a manner not in accordance with such advice.
8. | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION |
The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section 14, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Trust insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reliance upon records that were maintained for the Trust by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as administrator for the Trust. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless solely
Information Classification: Limited Access
5
caused by or resulting from the negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Administrator, its officers or employees. The Administrator shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits, of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) under any provision of this Agreement or for any such damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either party or any entity had been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, except as otherwise agreed in writing, the Administrator’s cumulative liability under the Agreement for each calendar year (a “Liability Period”) for any liability or loss suffered by the Trust, including, but not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Trust as a regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Trust’s compliance with any federal or state tax or securities statute, regulation or ruling, regardless of the form of action or legal theory, shall be limited to the Administrator’s total annual compensation earned and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as defined herein, with respect to the Trust. “Compensation Period” shall mean the calendar year ending immediately prior to each Liability Period in which the event(s) giving rise to the Administrator’s liability for that period have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Period for purposes of calculating the annual cumulative liability of the Administrator for the Liability Period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on December 31, 2018 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2018, calculated on an annualized basis, and the Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2019 and terminating on December 31, 2019 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2018, calculated on an annualized basis.
The Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, natural disaster, governmental action or communication disruption. In the event that any of the aforementioned events or circumstances actually causes loss, damage or expense to the Trust, the Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to mitigate the negative effect of such event on the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Administrator from its responsibility to provide and maintain appropriate backup and disaster recovery facilities.
The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by the Administrator resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with the Administrator’s acceptance of this Agreement, any action or omission by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Trust or upon reasonable reliance on information or records given or made by the Trust or its investment adviser, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator, its officers or employees in cases of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The limitation of liability and indemnification contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The provision of the Services to the Trust by the Administrator is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The parties acknowledge and agree on the following matters:
The Services depend, directly or indirectly, on: (i) Required Data and (ii) information concerning the Trust or its affiliates or any Fund, pooled vehicle, security or other investment or portfolio regarding which the Trust or its affiliates provide services or is otherwise associated (“Trust Entities”) that is generated or aggregated by the Administrator or its affiliates in connection with services performed on the Trust’s behalf or otherwise prepared by the Administrator (“State Street Data,” together with Required Data and Third Party Data (as defined below), “Services-Related Data”). The Administrator’s obligations, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to any State Street Data used in connection with other services received by the Trust shall be as provided in such respective other agreements between the Administrator or its affiliates and the Trust relating to such other services (e.g., administration and/or custody services, etc.) from which the State Street Data is derived or sourced (“Other Trust Agreements”). Nothing in this Agreement or any service schedule(s) shall limit or modify the Administrator’s or its affiliates’ obligations to the Trust under the Other Trust Agreements.
In connection with the provision of the Services by the Administrator, the Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for providing the Administrator with any information requested by the Administrator, including, but not limited to, the following:
(A) Arranging for the regular provision of all Required Data (including State Street Data, where applicable) and related information to the Administrator, in formats compatible with Administrator-provided data templates including, without limitation, Required Data and the information and assumptions required by the Administrator in connection with a Trust reporting profile and onboarding checklist, as it, or the information or assumptions required, may be revised at any time by the Administrator, in its discretion (collectively, the “Onboarding Checklist”) and such other forms and templates as may be used by the Administrator for such purposes from time to time, for all Funds receiving services under this Agreement, including but not limited to those to be reported on Form N-PORT and
Information Classification: Limited Access

Form N-CEN (as determined by the Trust), including, without limitation, arranging for the provision of data from the Trust, its affiliates, third party administrators, prime brokers, custodians and other relevant parties. If and to the extent that Required Data is already accessible to the Administrator (or any of its affiliates) in its capacity as administrator to one or more Trusts, the Administrator and the Trust will agree on the scope of the information to be extracted from the Administrator’s or any of its affiliate’s systems for purposes of the Administrator’s provision of the Services, subject to the discretion of the Administrator, and the Administrator is hereby expressly authorized to use any such information as necessary in connection with providing the Services hereunder; and
(B) Providing all required information and assumptions not otherwise included in Trust data and assumptions provided pursuant to Section 1(A) above, including but not limited to the Required Data, as may be required in order for the Administrator to provide the Services.
The following are examples of certain types of information that the Trust is likely to be required to provide pursuant to Sections 1(A) and 1(B) above, and the Trust hereby acknowledges and understands that the following categories of information are merely illustrative examples, are by no means an exhaustive list of all such required information, and are subject to change as a result of any amendments to Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN:
• | SEC filing classification of the Trust (i.e., small or large filer); |
• | Identification of any data sourced from third parties; |
• | Identification of any securities reported as Miscellaneous; and |
• | Any Explanatory Notes included in N-PORT Section E. |
2. The Trust acknowledges that it has provided to the Administrator all material assumptions used by the Trust or that are expected to be used by the Trust in connection with the completion of Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN and the provision of the Services and that it has approved all material assumptions used by the Administrator in the provision of the Services prior to the first use of the Services. The Trust will also be responsible for promptly notifying the Administrator of any changes in any such material assumptions previously notified to the Administrator by the Trust or otherwise previously approved by the Trust in connection with the Administrator’s provision of the Services. The Trust acknowledges that the completion of Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN and the provision of the Services, and the data required thereby, requires the use of material assumptions in connection with many different categories of information and data, and the use and/or reporting thereof, including, but not limited to the following:
• | Investment classification of positions; |
• | Assumptions necessary in converting data extracts; |
• | General operational and process assumptions used by the Administrator in performing the Services; and |

The Trust hereby acknowledges and understands that the foregoing categories of information that may involve the use of material assumptions are merely illustrative examples of certain subject matter areas in relation to which the Trust (and/or the Administrator on its behalf in connection with the Services) may rely on various material assumptions, and are by no means an exhaustive list of all such subject matter areas.
3. The Trust acknowledges and agrees on the following matters:
(A) The Trust has independently reviewed the Services (including, without limitation, the assumptions, market data, securities prices, securities valuations, tests and calculations used in the Services), and the Trust has determined that the Services are suitable for its purposes. None of the Administrator or its affiliates, nor their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or service providers (collectively, including the Administrator, “State Street Parties”) make any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Services or otherwise.
(B) The Trust assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it. The Administrator is not providing, and the Services do not constitute, legal, tax, investment, or regulatory advice, or accounting or auditing services advice. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties to this Agreement, the Services are of general application and the Administrator is not providing any customization, guidance, or recommendations. Where the Trust uses Services to comply with any law, regulation, agreement, or other Trust obligation, the Administrator makes no representation that any Service complies with such law, regulation, agreement, or other obligation, and the Administrator has no obligation of compliance with respect thereto.
(C) The Trust may use the Services and any reports, charts, graphs, data, analyses and other results generated by the Administrator in connection with the Services and provided by the Administrator to the Trust (“Materials”) (a) for the internal business purpose of the Trust relating to the applicable Service or (b) for submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as required, of a Form N-PORT template and a Form N-CEN update, including any Portfolio of Investments, if applicable. The Trust may also redistribute the Materials, or an excerpted portion thereof, to its investment managers, investment advisers, agents, clients, Trustees, investors or participants, as applicable, that have a reasonable interest in the Materials in connection with their relationship with the Trust (each a “Permitted Person”); provided, however, (i) the Trust may not charge a fee, profit, or otherwise benefit from the redistribution of Materials to Permitted Persons, (ii) data provided by third party sources such as but not limited to market or index data (“Third Party Data”) contained in the Materials may not be redistributed other than Third Party Data that is embedded in the calculations presented in the Materials and not otherwise identifiable as Third Party Data, except to the extent the Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data, or (iii) the Trust may not use the Services or Materials in any way to compete or enable any third party to compete with the Administrator. No Permitted Person shall have any further rights of use or redistribution with respect to, or any ownership rights in, the Materials or any excerpted portion thereof.

Except as expressly provided in this Section 3(C), the Trust, any of its affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, investment managers, investment advisers, agents or any other third party, including any client of, or investor or participant in the Trust or any Permitted Persons (collectively, including the Trust, “Trust Parties”), may not directly or indirectly, sell, rent, lease, license or sublicense, transmit, transfer, distribute or redistribute, disclose display, or provide, or otherwise make available or permit access to, all or any part of the Services or the Materials (including any State Street Data or Third Party Data contained therein, except with respect to Third Party Data to the extent the Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data). Without limitation, Trust Parties shall not themselves nor permit any other person to in whole or in part (i) modify, enhance, create derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile, decompose or disassemble the Services or the Materials; (ii) secure any source code used in the Services, or attempt to use any portions of the Services in any form other than machine readable object code; (iii) commercially exploit or otherwise use the Services or the Materials for the benefit of any third party in a service bureau or software-as-a-service environment (or similar structure), or otherwise use the Services or the Materials to perform services for any third party, including for, to, or with consultants and independent contractors; or (iv) attempt any of the foregoing or otherwise use the Services or the Materials for any purpose other than as expressly authorized under this Agreement.
(D) The Trust shall limit the access and use of the Services and the Materials by any Trust Parties to a need-to-know basis and, in connection with its obligations under this Agreement, the Trust shall be responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of any Trust Parties.
(E) The Services, the Materials and all confidential information of the Administrator (as confidential information is defined in the Agreement and other than Third Party Data and Required Data), are the sole property of the Administrator. The Trust has no rights or interests with respect to all or any part of the Services, the Materials or the Administrator’s confidential information, other than its use and redistribution rights expressly set forth in Section 3(C) herein. The Trust automatically and irrevocably assigns to the Administrator any right, title or interest that it has, or may be deemed to have, in the Services, the Materials or the Administrator’s confidential information, including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any Trust Party feedback, ideas, concepts, comments, suggestions, techniques or know-how shared with the Administrator (collectively, “Feedback”) and the State Street Parties shall be entitled to incorporate any Feedback in the Services or the Materials or to otherwise use such Feedback for its own commercial benefit without obligation to compensate the Trust.
(F) The Administrator may rely on Services-Related Data used in connection with the Services without independent verification. Services-Related Data used in the Services may not be available or may contain errors, and the Services may not be complete or accurate as a result.
