FUND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
Exhibit 28 (h) (4) (a) under Form N-1A
Exhibit 10 under Item 601/Reg. S-K
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of March 1, 2011 is made, severally and not jointly (except that the parties agree that the calculation required by paragraph 31 hereunder shall be joint and not several) by and between the registered investment companies listed on Schedule I to this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time (each stand-alone registered investment company and each series company of a registered investment company a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York corporation authorized to do a banking business, having its principal place of business at Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (hereinafter called the “Bank”).
WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Funds and the Bank hereby agree as follows:
1. The Funds hereby appoint the Bank to perform the duties hereinafter set forth.
2. The Bank hereby accepts appointment and agrees to perform the duties hereinafter set forth.
3. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 below, the Bank shall compute the net asset value per share of each class of shares of each Fund listed on Schedule I hereto (all references to “Fund” shall be deemed to include all classes of the Fund) and shall value the securities held by each Fund (the “Securities”) at such times and dates and in the manner specified in the then currently effective registration statement or offering memorandum (the “Offering Materials”) of each Fund, except that notwithstanding any language in the Offering Materials, in no event shall the Bank be required to determine, or have any obligations with respect to, whether a market price represents any fair or true value, nor to adjust any price to reflect any events or announcements, including, without limitation, those with respect to the issuer thereof, it being agreed that all such determinations and considerations shall be solely for each Fund. However, the Bank agrees to incorporate into its calculation of a Fund’s net asset value any price or factor given by a Fund or by a third party valuation service upon instruction by a Fund.
4. To the extent valuation of Securities or computation of a Fund’s net asset value as specified in the Fund’s then currently effective Offering Materials is at any time inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, the Fund shall immediately so notify the Bank in writing and thereafter shall either furnish the Bank at all appropriate times with the values of such Securities and each Fund’s net asset value, or subject to the prior approval of the Bank, instruct the Bank in writing to value the Securities and compute each Fund’s net asset value in a manner which the Fund then represents in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. A Fund may also from time to time, subject to the prior approval of the Bank, instruct the Bank in writing to compute the value of the Securities or a Fund’s net asset value in a manner other than as specified in paragraph 3 of this Agreement. By giving such instruction, the Fund shall be deemed to have represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and the then currently effective Offering Materials of the Fund. The Fund shall have sole responsibility for determining the method of valuation of Securities and the method of computing each Fund’s net asset value.
5. The Fund shall furnish the Bank with any and all instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation as deemed reasonably necessary by the Bank in the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the amounts or written formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of Fund’s liabilities and expenses. The Bank shall not be required to include as a Fund’s liabilities and expenses, nor as a reduction of net asset value, any accrual for any federal, state, or foreign income taxes unless the Fund shall have specified to the Bank the precise amount of the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce net asset value. In calculating the prices for Securities the Bank will use the price services authorized by an authorized person for a Fund listed on Appendix B to this Agreement (“Authorized Persons List”). Such authorized person shall provide the list of authorized pricing services to the Bank in a writing signed by such authorized person substantially in the form of Appendix C to this Agreement. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Appendix C signed by an authorized person actually received by the Bank. A Fund shall also furnish the Bank with bid, offer, or market values of Securities if the Bank notifies the Fund that same are not available to the Bank from a Fund’s Authorized Pricing Services. At any time and from time to time, a Fund also may furnish the Bank with bid, offer, or market values of Securities and instruct the Bank to use such information in its calculations hereunder.
6. The Bank shall advise the Fund, the Fund’s custodian and the Fund’s transfer agent of the net asset value of each Fund upon completion of the computations required to be made by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.
7. The Bank shall, as agent for the Fund, maintain and keep current the books, accounts and other documents, if any, and perform the additional duties, listed in Appendix A hereto and made a part hereof, as such Appendix A may be amended from time to time. Such books, accounts and other documents shall be made available upon reasonable request for inspection by officers, employees and auditors of a Fund during the Bank’s normal business hours, and shall be preserved for a period of seven (7) years. The Bank and the Fund’s intend to enter into a Service Level Guidelines Agreement (“SLA”), that may be amended from time to time by the parties, that will outline the Fund’s expectations with respect to specific services to be provided by the Bank and the operational mechanics of providing such services.
8. All records maintained and preserved by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement which a Fund is required to maintain and preserve in accordance with the above-mentioned Rules shall be and remain the property of a Fund and shall be surrendered to a Fund promptly upon request in the form in which such records have been maintained and preserved. Upon reasonable request of a Fund, the Bank shall provide in hard copy or electronic format, whichever the Bank shall elect, any records included in any such delivery which are maintained by the Bank on a computer disc, or are similarly maintained, and a Fund shall reimburse the Bank for its expenses of providing the same.
9. The Bank, 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 by the Fund and shall have no duty or obligation to review the accuracy, validity or propriety of such instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation, including, without limitation, evaluations of Securities; the amounts or formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of a Fund’s liabilities and expenses; the amounts receivable and the amounts payable on the sale or purchase of Securities; the amounts receivable or amounts payable for the sale or redemption of Fund shares effected by or on behalf of the Fund. In the event the Bank’s computations hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information, including, without limitation, bid, offer or market values of Securities or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings thereon, from Authorized Pricing Services, the Bank 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.
10. The Bank shall not be required to inquire into any valuation of Securities or other assets by a Fund or any third party described in preceding paragraph 9 hereof, even though the Bank in performing services similar to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement for others may receive different valuations of the same or different securities of the same issuers.
11. The Bank, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining whether any interest accruable to a Fund is or will be actually paid, but will accrue such interest until otherwise instructed by a Fund.
12. The Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss, malfunctions of utilities or communication services, accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions. Nor shall the Bank be responsible for delays or failures to supply the information or services specified in this Agreement where such delays or failures are caused by the failure of any person(s) other than the Bank to supply any instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation deemed reasonably necessary by the Bank in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.
13. No provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Bank from offering services similar or identical to those covered by this Agreement to any other corporations, associations or entities of any kind. Any and all operational procedures, techniques and devices developed by the Bank in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including those developed in conjunction with a Fund, shall be and remain the property of the Bank, and the Bank shall be free to employ such procedures, techniques and devices in connection with the performance of any other contract with any other person whether or not such contract is similar or identical to this Agreement.
14. The Bank may, with respect to questions of law, apply to and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to the independent trustees of a Fund or counsel that is mutually agreed upon by a Fund and Bank and shall be entitled to rely on the advice or opinion of such counsel.
15. The Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any oral instructions received by the Bank and reasonably believed by the Bank to be given by or on behalf of a Fund, even if the Bank subsequently receives written instructions contradicting such oral instructions. The books and records of the Bank with respect to the content of any oral instruction shall be binding and conclusive.
16. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Bank shall have no duty or obligation with respect to, including without limitation, any duty or obligation to determine, or advise or notify a Fund of: (a) the taxable nature of any distribution or amount received or deemed received by, or payable to, a Fund; (b) the taxable nature or effect on a Fund or its shareholders of any corporate actions, class actions, tax reclaims, tax refunds, or similar events; (c) the taxable nature or taxable amount of any distribution or dividend paid, payable or deemed paid, by a Fund to its shareholders; or (d) the effect under any federal, state, or foreign income tax laws of a Fund making or not making any distribution or dividend payment, or any election with respect thereto.
17. The Bank shall be held to a standard of reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Bank shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense, including counsel fees and other costs and expenses of a defense against any claim or liability, resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with its performance hereunder, including its actions or omissions, the incompleteness or inaccuracy of any specifications or other information furnished by the Fund, or for any delays caused by circumstances beyond the Bank’s control, unless such loss, damage or expense arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. In no event shall the Bank be liable to the Funds or any third party for special, indirect, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or loss of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.
18. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Fund shall indemnify the Bank against and save the Bank harmless from any loss, damage or expense, including counsel fees and other costs and expenses of a defense against any claim or liability, arising from any one or more of the following:
(a) Errors in records or instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation of any kind, as the case may be, supplied to the Bank by any third party described in preceding paragraph 9 hereof or by or on behalf of a Fund;

(f) Any valuations of Securities or net asset value provided by the Fund.
19. In consideration for all of the services to be performed by the Bank as set forth herein the Bank shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses and such compensation as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time between the Bank and the Fund.
20. Attached hereto as Appendix B is a list of persons duly authorized to give any written or oral instructions, or written or oral specifications, by or on behalf of the Fund. From time to time the Fund may deliver a new Appendix B to add or delete any person and the Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Appendix B actually received by the Bank.
21.
