FUND OF FUNDS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

THIS FUND OF FUNDS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of January 19, 2022 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Acquiring Funds, severally and not jointly (each, an “Acquiring Fund”), and the Acquired Funds, severally and not jointly (each, an “Acquired Fund” and together with the Acquiring Funds, the “Funds”), listed on Schedule A.

WHEREAS, each Fund is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act limits the extent to which a registered investment company may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, Section 12(d)(1)(B) limits the extent to which a registered investment company, its principal underwriter or registered brokers or dealers may knowingly sell shares of such registered investment company to other investment companies, and Section 12(d)(1)(C) limits the extent to which an investment company may invest in the shares of a registered closed-end investment company;

WHEREAS, Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Rule”) permits registered investment companies, such as the Acquiring Funds, to invest in shares of other registered investment companies, such as the Acquired Funds, in excess of the limits of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act subject to compliance with the conditions of the Rule; and

WHEREAS, an Acquiring Fund may, from time to time, invest in shares of one or more Acquired Funds in excess of the limitations of Section 12(d)(1)(A) in reliance on the Rule;

NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the Rule, the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds desire to set forth the following terms pursuant to which the Acquiring Funds may invest in the Acquired Funds in reliance on the Rule.

1. Terms of Investment.

(a) 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:

(i) Timing/advance notice of redemptions. The Acquiring Funds will use reasonable efforts to spread large redemption requests over multiple days or to provide advance notification of redemption requests to the Acquired Fund whenever practicable and consistent with the Acquiring Fund’s best interests. Each 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.

(ii) Scale of investment. Upon a reasonable request by an Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Funds will provide summary information regarding the anticipated timeline of their investments in the Acquired Fund and the scale of their contemplated investments in the Acquired Fund.

(b) In order to assist the Acquiring Funds’ investment adviser with evaluating the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with their investments in an Acquired Fund, each Acquired Fund shall provide the Acquiring Funds with information on the fees and expenses of the Acquired Fund reasonably requested by the Acquiring Funds with reference to the Rule.

2. Representations of the Acquired Funds.

In connection with any investments by the Acquiring Funds in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations in Section 12(d)(1)(A), each Acquired Fund agrees to:

a. Limit its acquisition of securities of investment companies and companies that would be investment companies but for the exclusion from the definition of investment company in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act to an aggregate amount that does not exceed 10% of the Acquired Fund’s total assets, exclusive of investments in (A) reliance on Section 12(d)(1)(E) of the 1940 Act; (B) reliance on Rule 12d1-1 under the 1940 Act; (C) a subsidiary that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Acquired Fund; (D) securities received as a dividend or as a result of a plan of reorganization of a company; or (E) securities of another investment company received pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC to engage in interfund borrowing and lending transactions;

b. Disclose in its registration statement that it is subject to the 10% limitation set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement;

3. Representations of the Acquiring Funds.

In connection with any investments by the Acquiring Funds in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations in Section 12(d)(1)(A), each Acquiring Fund agrees to:

a. 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;

b. Comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and

c. Promptly notify the Acquired Fund if the Acquiring Fund fails to comply with the Rule with respect to its investments in such Acquired Fund, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, or this Agreement.

(b) Each Acquired Fund, severally and not jointly, agrees to hold harmless, indemnify and defend the Acquiring Funds and the Acquiring Trust, including any of their principals, directors or trustees, officers, employees and agents (each an “Acquiring Fund Agent”), against and from any and all losses, expenses or liabilities incurred by or claims or actions (collectively, “Claims”) asserted against the Acquiring Funds and/or the Acquiring Trust, including any Acquiring Trust Agent, to the extent any such Claims result from (i) a violation or alleged violation by an Acquired Fund or any principals, directors or trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Acquired Fund (each an “Acquired Fund Agent”) of any provision of this Agreement, or (ii) a violation or alleged violation by an Acquired Fund or an Acquired Fund Agent of the terms and conditions of the Rule, such indemnification to include any reasonable counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating and/or defending any such Claims.
