The Trust shall provide, or shall cause its third-party agent to provide, timely notice to the Accounting Agent of all data reasonably required by the Accounting Agent for performance of its duties described in Section III.B hereunder. The Trust’s failure to provide such timely notice shall excuse the Accounting Agent from the performance of such duties, but only to the extent the Accounting Agent’s performance is prejudiced by the Trust’s failure.

State Street is authorized and instructed to rely upon any and all information it receives from the Trust or its third-party agent that it reasonably believes to be genuine. State Street shall have no responsibility to review, confirm or otherwise assume any duty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any data supplied to it by or on behalf of the Trust.

State Street shall value the Trust’s securities and other assets utilizing prices obtained from sources designated by the Trust, or the Trust’s duly-authorized agent, on a Price Source Authorization substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or otherwise designated by means of Proper Instructions (as such term is defined herein) (collectively, the “Authorized Price Sources”).

Oral instructions shall be considered Proper Instructions if State Street reasonably believes them to have been given by a person authorized to give such instructions. The Trust and its third-party agents shall cause all oral instructions to be confirmed in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) above, as appropriate. The Trust and its third-party agents shall give timely Proper Instructions to State Street in regard to matters affecting accounting practices and State Street’s performance pursuant to this Agreement.

V. PERFORMANCE GOALS:

A. The Trust and State Street have developed mutually acceptable performance goals dated March 1, 2011 , and as may be amended from time to time, regarding the manner in which they expect to deliver and receive the services under this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Service Level Agreement”). The parties agree that such Service Level Agreement reflects performance goals and any failure to perform in accordance with the provisions thereof shall not be considered a breach of contract that gives rise to contractual or other remedies. It is the intention of the parties that the sole remedy for failure to perform in accordance with the provisions of the Service Level Agreement, or any dispute relating to performance goals set forth in the Service Level Agreement, will be a meeting of the parties to resolve the failure pursuant to the consultation procedure described in Sections V. B. and V.C. below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge that any party’s failure (or lack thereof) to meet the provisions of the Service Level Agreement, while not in and of itself a breach of contract giving rise to contractual or other remedies, may factor into the Trust’s reasonably determined belief regarding the standard of care exercised by State Street hereunder.

B. Consultation Procedure. If a party hereto is unable to meet the provisions of the Service Level Agreement, or in the event that a dispute arises relating to performance goals set forth in the Service Level Agreement, either party to this Agreement shall address any concerns it may have by requiring a consultation with the other party.

C. Purpose of Consultation Procedure. The purpose of the consultation procedure is to endeavor to resolve any failure to meet the provisions of the Service Level Agreement. If a consultation occurs under this Section V, all parties must negotiate in good faith to endeavor to:

implement changes which will enable the Service Level Agreement provisions to be met – such changes may include, but are not limited to, modification of either or both parties’ respective operational resources;

agree to alternative Service Level Agreement provisions which meet the parties’ respective business requirements; or

otherwise find a solution such that within a reasonable time after the consultation, the inability to meet the Service Level Agreement provision(s) is reasonably expected to be less likely to occur in the future.

VI. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL RULES and REGULATIONS; RECORDS

The Trust assumes full responsibility for its compliance with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it.

VII. WARRANTIES

If, prior to the Accounting Agent’s calculation of the current NAV, the Trust or its third-party agent notifies the Accounting Agent that any of its accounting services are erroneous in any material respect, the Accounting Agent shall endeavor in a timely manner to correct such failure. Third-parties that are selected by and approved by the Trust and from which the Accounting Agent may obtain certain data included in the accounting services are solely responsible for the contents of such data and the Trust agrees to make no claim against the Accounting Agent arising out of the contents of such third-party data including, but not limited to, the accuracy thereof.

VIII. FORCE MAJEURE

The parties will maintain throughout the term of this Agreement, such contingency plans as are reasonably believed to be necessary and appropriate to recover the parties’ operations from the occurrence of a disaster and which are consistent with any statute or regulation to which the parties are subject that imposes business resumption and contingency planning standards. The parties agree to provide to one another a summary of their respective contingency plans as they relate to the systems used to provide the services hereunder and to provide periodic updates of such summary upon a party’s reasonable request. If any party is unable to carry out any of its obligations under this Agreement because of conditions beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of war or terrorism, work stoppages, fire, civil disobedience, riots, rebellions, storms, electrical failures, acts of God, and similar occurrences (“Force Majeure”), this Agreement will remain in effect and the non-performing party’s obligations shall be suspended without liability for a period equal to the period of the continuing Force Majeure (which such period shall not exceed fifteen (15) business days), provided that:

(1)

where reasonably practicable, the non-performing party gives the other party prompt notice describing the Force Majeure, including the nature of the occurrence and its expected duration and, where reasonably practicable, continues to furnish regular reports with respect thereto during the period of Force Majeure;

(2)

the suspension of obligations is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is required by the Force Majeure;

(3)

no obligations of any party that accrued before the Force Majeure are excused as a result of the Force Majeure; and

(4)

the non-performing Party uses reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform as quickly as possible.

IX. INSTRUCTIONS and ADVICE

At any time, State Street may apply to any officer of the Trust for instructions and may consult with its own legal counsel with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by State Street under the terms of this Agreement. At any time, State Street may consult with outside counsel for the Trust or the independent accountants for the Trust (“Trust Advisers”) at the expense of the Trust, provided that State Street first obtains consent of the Trust which shall not be unreasonably withheld, with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by State Street under the terms of this Agreement. In its capacity as the Financial Administrator or as the Accounting Agent under the terms of this Agreement, State Street shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Trust or appropriate Portfolio for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith reliance upon any instructions or advice provided to State Street by a Trust Adviser or upon any paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons. State Street shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Trust. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as imposing upon State Street any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received.

XI. CONFIDENTIALITY

The parties hereto agree that each shall treat confidentially all information provided by each party to the other party regarding its business and operations (“Confidential Information”). All Confidential Information provided by a party hereto shall be used by the other party hereto solely for the purpose of rendering or receiving services pursuant to this Agreement and, except as may be required in carrying out this Agreement, shall not be disclosed to any third party. Neither party will use or disclose Confidential Information for purposes other than the activities contemplated by this Agreement or except as required by law, court process or pursuant to the lawful requirement of a governmental agency, or if the party is advised by counsel that it may incur liability for failure to make a disclosure, or except at the request or with the written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party acknowledges that the other party may provide access to and use of Confidential Information relating to the other party to the disclosing party’s employees, contractors, agents, professional advisors, auditors or persons performing similar functions.

The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information (i) that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement, (ii) that is independently derived by a party hereto without the use of any information provided by the other party hereto in connection with this Agreement, (iii) that is required in any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, or by operation of law or regulation, or (iv) where the party seeking to disclose has received the prior written consent of the party providing the information, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything in this Section XI to the contrary, the Accounting Agent may aggregate Portfolio data with similar data of other customers of the Accounting Agent (“Aggregated Data”) and may use Aggregated Data for purposes of constructing statistical models so long as such Aggregated Data represents a sufficiently large sample that no Portfolio data can be identified either directly or by inference or implication.

If either party is required to disclose Confidential Information as a result of a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress, then that party may disclose such Confidential Information, provided that the disclosing party, if not prohibited from doing so, shall undertake reasonable efforts to give the other party prompt prior written notice upon its receipt of any such order or subpoena and provided further that failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any liability.

The undertakings and obligations contained in this Section XI shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.

XII. LIMITATION of LIABILITY and INDEMNIFICATION

REMOTE ACCESS SERVICES ADDENDUM

FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Addendum is several and not joint by Customer.

State Street has developed and utilizes proprietary accounting and other systems in conjunction with the services that State Street provides to the Customer. In this regard, State Street maintains certain information in databases under its control and ownership that it makes available to its customers (the “Remote Access Services”).

The Services

State Street agrees to provide the Customer, and its designated investment advisors, consultants or other third parties who agree to abide by the terms of this Addendum (“Authorized Designees”) with access to State Street proprietary systems as may be offered from time to time (the “System”) on a remote basis.

Security Procedures

The Customer agrees to comply, and to cause its Authorized Designees to comply, with remote access operating standards and procedures and with user identification or other password control requirements and other security devices and procedures as may be issued or required from time to time by State Street for use of the System and access to the Remote Access Services. The Customer is responsible for any use and/or misuse of the System and Remote Access Services by its Authorized Designees. The Customer agrees to advise State Street immediately in the event that it learns or has reason to believe that any person to whom it has given access to the System or the Remote Access Services has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Addendum and the Customer will cooperate with State Street in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief. The Customer agrees to discontinue use of the System and Remote Access Services, if requested, for any security reasons cited by State Street and State Street may restrict access of the System and Remote Access Services by the Customer or any Authorized Designee for security reasons or noncompliance with the terms of this Addendum at any time.

Fees

Fees and charges for the use of the System and the Remote Access Services and related payment terms shall be as set forth in the fee schedule in effect from time to time between the parties. The Customer shall be responsible for any tariffs, duties or taxes imposed or levied by any government or governmental agency by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Addendum, including, without limitation, federal, state and local taxes, use, value added and personal property taxes (other than income, franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed against State Street). Any claimed exemption from such tariffs, duties or taxes shall be supported by proper documentary evidence delivered to State Street.

Proprietary Information/Injunctive Relief

The System and Remote Access Services described herein and the databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, formulae, processes, systems, software, know-how, algorithms, programs, training aids, printed materials, methods, books, records, files, documentation and other information made available to the Customer by State Street as part of the Remote Access Services and through the use of the System and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other proprietary and intellectual property rights of State Street related thereto are the exclusive, valuable and confidential proprietary property of State Street and its relevant licensors (the “Proprietary Information”). The Customer agrees on behalf of itself and its Authorized Designees to keep the Proprietary Information confidential and to limit access to its employees and Authorized Designees (under a similar duty of confidentiality) who require access to the System for the purposes intended. The foregoing shall not apply to Proprietary Information in the public domain or required by law to be made public.

The Customer agrees to use the Remote Access Services only in connection with the proper purposes of this Addendum. The Customer will not, and will cause its employees and Authorized Designees not to, (i) permit any third party to use the System or the Remote Access Services, (ii) sell, rent, license or otherwise use the System or the Remote Access Services in the operation of a service bureau or for any purpose other than as expressly authorized under this Addendum, (iii) use the System or the Remote Access Services for any fund, trust or other investment vehicle without the prior written consent of State Street, or (iv) allow or cause any information transmitted from State Street’s databases, including data from third-party sources, available through use of the System or the Remote Access Services, to be published, redistributed or retransmitted for other than use for or on behalf of the Customer, as State Street’s customer.

The Customer agrees that neither it nor its Authorized Designees will modify the System in any way, enhance, copy, or otherwise create derivative works based upon the System, nor will the Customer or its Authorized Designees reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to secure the source code for all or any part of the System.

The Customer acknowledges that the disclosure of any Proprietary Information, or of any information which at law or equity ought to remain confidential, will immediately give rise to continuing irreparable injury to State Street inadequately compensable in damages at law and that State Street shall be entitled to obtain immediate injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of any of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available.

Limited Warranties

State Street represents and warrants that it is the owner of and has the right to grant access to the System and to provide the Remote Access Services contemplated herein. Because of the nature of computer information technology, including but not limited to the use of the Internet, and the necessity of relying upon third party sources, and data and pricing information obtained from third parties, the System and Remote Access Services are provided “AS IS” without warranty express or implied including as to availability of the System, and the Customer and its Authorized Designees shall be solely responsible for the use of the System and Remote Access Services and investment decisions, results obtained, regulatory reports and statements produced using the Remote Access Services. State Street and its relevant licensors will not be liable to the Customer or its Authorized Designees for any direct or indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages arising out of or in any way connected with the System or the Remote Access Services, nor shall any party be responsible for delays or nonperformance under this Addendum arising out of any cause or event beyond such party’s control.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ADDENDUM, STATE STREET, FOR ITSELF AND ITS RELEVANT LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE SYSTEM AND THE SERVICES TO BE RENDERED HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Infringement

State Street will defend or, at its option, settle any claim or action brought against the Customer to the extent that it is based upon an assertion that access to or use of the State Street proprietary systems by the Customer under this Addendum constitutes direct infringement of any United States patent or copyright or misappropriation of a trade secret, provided that the Customer notifies State Street promptly in writing of any such claim or proceeding, cooperates with State Street in the defense of such claim or proceeding and allows State Street sole control over such claim or proceeding. Should the State Street proprietary systems or any part thereof become, or in State Street’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or the like under any applicable patent, copyright or trade secret laws, State Street shall have the right, at State Street’s sole option, to (i) procure for the Customer the right to continue using the State Street proprietary systems, (ii) replace or modify the State Street proprietary systems so that the State Street proprietary systems becomes noninfringing with no material loss of functionality or (iii) terminate this Addendum without further obligation. This section constitutes the sole remedy to the Customer for the matters described in this section.

This Addendum shall in any event terminate within ninety (90) days after the termination of any service agreement applicable to the Customer. In the event of termination, the Customer will return to State Street all copies of documentation and other confidential information in its possession or in the possession of its Authorized Designees and immediately cease access to the System and Remote Access Services. The foregoing provisions with respect to confidentiality and infringement will survive termination for a period of three (3) years.

Schedule A

Fund Administration Money Market Fund Services

Subject to the authorization and direction of the Trust, the Administrator will provide the money market fund services set forth on Schedule A(i) (the “Money Market Services”) to the Trusts listed on Exhibit A hereto assist the Trusts in complying with certain of the compliance testing and reporting requirements applicable to the Trusts that are “money market funds” within the meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Evidence of Authority.

The Administrator is authorized and instructed to rely upon the information it receives from the Trust or any third party authorized by the Trust. The Administrator shall have no responsibility for the actions or omissions of the Trust or any third party authorized by the Trust to act on its behalf, or the completeness or accuracy of any information provided by the Trust or a third party authorized by the Trust to act on its behalf. In performing the Money Market Services, the Administrator shall be protected in acting upon any instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf of the Trust. Instructions may be in writing signed by the authorized person or persons or may be by such other means and utilizing such intermediary systems and utilities as may be agreed from time to time by the Administrator and the person(s) or entity giving such instruction. The Administrator may act on oral instructions if the Administrator reasonably believes them to have been given by a person authorized to provide such instructions with respect to the action involved; the Trust shall cause all oral instructions to be confirmed in writing or by such other procedure approved by the Administrator and the Trust.

Responsibilities of the Parties; Indemnification; Warranties and Disclaimers.

a. The Trust agrees that it shall be solely responsible for any decision made or action taken in reliance on the compliance testing results, reports, forms or other data or information included in the Money Market Services provided by the Administrator.

b. The Parties acknowledge that the Administrator is required to rely upon data provided by the Trust or third parties (“Data”) in providing the Money Market Services. The Administrator does not own the Data, has not developed the Data, does not control the Data, and has not, and will not make any inquiry into the accuracy of any Data. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent applicable, the Administrator will not be liable for any delays in the transmission of Forms N-MFP, Forms N-CR, reports, market-based NAVs, shareholder inflows/outflows, daily and weekly liquid assets, affiliate sponsor support flows, portfolio holdings or transmission of Data or inaccuracies of, errors in or omission of, Data in connection with the provision of the Money Market Services in each case provided by the Trust or any other third party.

c. To the extent applicable, the Trust represents and warrants to the Administrator that it has the necessary licenses from each nationally recognized statistical ratings organization whose ratings are set forth in its Forms N-MFP as contemplated hereby.

d. To the extent applicable, the Trust is solely responsible for determining and immediately notifying in writing the Administrator of the occurrence of one or more triggering events causing a filing on Form N-CR. The Trust is solely responsible for accurately and timely supplying the Administrator, or causing third parties to accurately and timely supply the Administrator, with all data, information and signatures in respect of each Trust that is required in order for the Administrator to file each Form N-CR, whether or not such information is specifically requested by the Administrator. The Administrator shall be without liability if the Administrator has not received by the submission deadline communicated by the Administrator to the Trust all of the Data, information and signatures it requires to submit such Form N-CR filing.

e. To the extent applicable, the Trust acknowledges that it shall be the Trust’s responsibility to retain for the periods prescribed by Rule 2a-7 (i) the compliance testing results and reports produced by the Administrator; (ii) its Forms N-MFP and Forms N-CR produced by the Administrator; and (iii) information prepared by the Administrator for posting on the Trust’s website.

f. The Trust acknowledges and agrees that the Money Market Services do not constitute advice or recommendations of any kind and the Administrator is not acting in a fiduciary capacity in providing the Money Market Services.

g. The Trust understands that the nature of the Money Market Services provided under this Agreement are distinct from the services provided under any other agreement between State Street Bank and Trust Company and the Trust, including any custody, fund accounting or transfer agency services agreements and, consequently, the terms of this Agreement rather than such other agreements shall govern the delivery of the Money Market Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the standard of care and liability provisions of Section XII of this Agreement shall govern the provision of the Money Market Services.

AMENDMENT TO FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION

AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Amendment to the Financial Administration and Accounting Services Agreement is made this 5^th day of March, 2018 (the “Amendment”) by and between State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company (“State Street”) and by and among each of the investment companies listed on Exhibit A thereto (each, a “Trust”) and shall be effective as of March 1, 2018 and as set forth in Section 2 below. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, State Street and the Trusts entered into the Financial Administration and Accounting Services Agreement dated as of March 1, 2011 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Agreement as set forth below.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement, pursuant to the terms thereof, as follows:

1. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

A. Article III of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“State Street shall provide the services as listed on Schedule B, subject to the authorization and direction of the Trusts and, in each case where appropriate, the review and comment by the Trusts’ independent accountants and legal counsel and in accordance with procedures which may be established from time to time between the Trusts and State Street.

State Street shall perform such other services for the Trusts that are mutually agreed to by the parties from time to time, for which the Trusts will pay such fees as may be mutually agreed upon, including State Street’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The provision of such services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

State Street shall provide the office facilities and the personnel determined by it to perform the services contemplated herein.”

B. A new paragraph is hereby added to Section VI of the Agreement immediately following the first sentence as follows:

“In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 0000 Xxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx agrees that all records which it maintains for the Trusts shall at all times remain the property of the Trusts, shall be readily accessible during normal business hours, and shall be promptly surrendered upon the termination of the Agreement or otherwise on written request except as otherwise provided in Section XV and subject to Section XVII.B. State Street further agrees that all records that it maintains for the Trusts pursuant to Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act will be preserved for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act unless any such records are earlier surrendered as provided above. Records may be surrendered in either written or machine-readable form, at the option of State Street. In the event that State Street is requested or authorized by the Trusts, or required by subpoena, administrative order, court order or other legal process, applicable law or regulation, or required in connection with any investigation, examination or inspection of a Trust by state or federal regulatory agencies, to produce the records of such Trust or State Street’s personnel as witnesses or deponents, each relevant Trust agrees to pay State Street for State Street’s time and expenses, as well as the fees and expenses of State Street’s counsel incurred in such production.”

C. A new paragraph is hereby added to Section IX of the Agreement immediately following the first paragraph as follows:

“Pursuant to other agreements now or any time in effect between any of the Trusts (or any of their investment managers or investment advisors, on its behalf) and State Street Bank and Trust Company or its affiliates (the “Other State Street Agreements”) in any capacity other than as State Street hereunder (in such other capacities, the “Bank”), the Bank may be in possession of certain information and data relating to the Trusts and/or the Portfolios that is necessary to provide the Services, including Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN Support Services. Each of the Trusts hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section IX of the Agreement serves as its consent and instruction, or Proper Instruction, as the case may be, for itself and on behalf of each Portfolio under and pursuant to such Other State Street Agreements for the Bank to provide or otherwise make available (including via platforms such as xx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) to State Street, Trust information such as net asset values and information relating to the net assets of the Trusts, holdings and liquidity reports, registration titles, market value and other information and data related to the Trusts.

D. Paragraph 2 of Section XI is amended and restated as follows:

“The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information (i) that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement, (ii) that is independently derived by the party receiving the information (“Receiving Party”) without the use of any information provided by the party providing information under this agreement, or any affiliate (the “Disclosing Party”), (iii) that is disclosed to comply with any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, (iv) that is disclosed as required by operation of law or regulation or as required to comply with the requirements of any market infrastructure that the Disclosing Party or its agents direct State Street or its affiliates to employ (or which is required in connection with the holding or settlement of instruments included in the assets subject to this Agreement), or (v) where the party seeking to disclose is expressly permitted under applicable law or regulation to disclose for a legitimate business purpose subject to confidentiality obligation, or has received the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party providing the information, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything in this Section XI to the contrary, the Accounting Agent may aggregate Portfolio data with similar data of other customers of the Accounting Agent ("Aggregated Data") and may use Aggregated Data for purposes of constructing statistical models so long as such Aggregated Data represents a sufficiently large sample that no Portfolio data can be identified either directly or by inference or implication.

A Receiving Party shall protect Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party at least to the same degree as the Receiving Party protects its own Confidential Information. All Confidential Information, provided by a Disclosing Party shall remain the property of such Disclosing Party. All Confidential Information, together with any copies thereof, in whatever form, shall, upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, be returned to the Disclosing Party or destroyed, at the Receiving Party’s election; provided, that the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain all or any portion of the Confidential Information, in accordance with the confidentiality obligations specified in this Agreement, to the extent required by applicable law or regulatory authority or to the extent required by the Receiving Party’s internal policies and in accordance with its customary practices for backup and storage.

E. The fourth paragraph of Section XI is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“To the extent the Receiving Party continues to possess confidential information or records of the Disclosing party after the termination of this Agreement, the obligations contained in this Section XI of this Agreement shall continue until the five (5) year anniversary of the termination date of this Agreement.”

F. The fourth paragraph of Section XVI is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Each Trust will bear all expenses that are incurred in its operation and not specifically assumed by State Street. For the avoidance of doubt, Trust expenses not assumed by State Street include, but are not limited to: organizational expenses; cost of services of independent accountants and outside legal and tax counsel (including such counsel’s review of the Registration Statement, Form N-CSR, Form N-Q or Form N-PORT (as applicable), Form N-PX, Form N-MFP, Form N-SAR or Form N-CEN (as applicable), proxy materials, federal and state tax qualification as a regulated investment company and other notices, registrations, reports, filings and materials prepared by State Street under this Agreement); cost of any services contracted for by each Trust directly from parties other than State Street; cost of trading operations and brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for each Trust; investment advisory fees; taxes, insurance premiums and other fees and expenses applicable to its operation; costs incidental to any meetings of shareholders including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, proxy filing fees and the costs of preparation (e.g., typesetting, XBRL-tagging, page changes and all other print vendor and XXXXX charges, collectively referred to herein as “Preparation”), printing, distribution and mailing of any proxy materials; costs incidental to Board meetings, including fees and expenses of Board members; the salary and expenses of any officer, director\trustee or employee of each Trust; costs of Preparation, printing, distribution and mailing, as applicable, of each Trust’s Registration Statements and any amendments and supplements thereto and shareholder reports; cost of Preparation and filing of each Trust’s tax returns, Form N-1A, Form N-CSR, Form N-Q or Form N-PORT (as applicable), Form N-PX, Form N-MFP and Form N-SAR or Form N-CEN (as applicable), and all notices, registrations and amendments associated with applicable federal and state tax and securities laws; all applicable registration fees and filing fees required under federal and state securities laws; the cost of fidelity bond and D&O/E&O liability insurance; and the cost of independent pricing services used in computing the Trusts’ or any Fund’s net asset value.”

G. Section XXVI of the Agreement is hereby deemed amended and restated as follows:

“XXVI. DATA PRIVACY.

(a) State Street will implement and maintain a written information security program that contains appropriate security measures generally consistent with industry standard practices aligned with a security framework appropriate for a large financial services company to safeguard the personal information of the Trusts’ shareholders, employees, directors and officers that State Street receives, stores, maintains, processes or otherwise accesses in connection with the provision of services hereunder. The term, ''personal information", as used in this Section, means (a) an individual's name (first initial and last name or first name and last name), address or telephone number plus (i) Social Security or other tax identification number, (ii) driver's license number, (iii) state identification card number, (iv) debit or credit card number, (v) financial account number or (vi) personal identification number or password that would permit access to a person's account, (b) any combination of any of the foregoing that would allow a person to log onto or access an individual's account, or (c) any other non-public personal information within the meaning of applicable law or regulation. "Personal Information" shall not include information that is lawfully obtained from publicly available information, or from federal, state or local government records lawfully made available to the general public (except to the extent applicable law in a particular jurisdiction does not exclude such publicly available information from protection as personal information).”

H. A new Section XXIX of the Agreement is hereby added as follows:

“SECTION XXIX. USE OF DATA.

(a) In connection with the provision of the services and the discharge of its other obligations under this Agreement, State Street (which term for purposes of this Section XXIX includes each of its parent company, branches and affiliates (''Affiliates")) may collect and store information regarding a Trust and share such information with its Affiliates, agents and service providers in order and to the extent reasonably necessary (i) to carry out the provision of services contemplated under this Agreement and other agreements between the Trusts and State Street or any of its Affiliates and (ii) to carry out management of its businesses, including, but not limited to, financial and operational management and reporting, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance and client service management.

(c) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Section XXIX shall limit the confidentiality and data-protection obligations of State Street and its Affiliates under this Agreement and applicable law. State Street shall cause any Affiliate, agent or service provider to which it has disclosed data and information in the performance of its services under this Agreement pursuant to this Section XXIX to comply at all times with confidentiality and data-protection obligations as if it were a party to this Agreement.”

I. A new Section XXX is hereby added to the Agreement as follows:

“XXX. BUSINESS CONTINUITY/DISASTER RECOVERY.

In the event of equipment failure, work stoppage, governmental action, communication disruption or other impossibility of performance beyond State Street’s control, State Street shall take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions. Specifically, State Street shall implement reasonable procedures to prevent the loss of data and to recover from service interruptions caused by equipment failure or other circumstances with resumption of all substantial elements of services in a timeframe sufficient to meet business requirements. State Street shall enter into and shall maintain in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provision for (i) periodic back-up of the computer files and data with respect to the Trusts; and (ii) emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to provide services under this Agreement. State Street shall test the ability to recover to alternate data processing equipment in accordance with State Street program standards, and provide a high level summary of business continuity test results to the Trusts upon request. State Street will remedy any material deficiencies in accordance with State Street program standards. Upon reasonable advance notice, and at no cost to State Street, the Trusts retain the right to review State Street’s business continuity, crisis management, disaster recovery, and third-party vendor management processes and programs (including discussions with the relevant subject matter experts and an on-site review of the production facilities used) related to delivery of the service no more frequently than an annual basis. Upon reasonable request, the State Street also shall discuss with senior management of the Trusts any business continuity/disaster recovery plan of the State Street and/or provide a high-level presentation summarizing such plan.”

J. New Schedules B and B2 are hereby added to the Agreement as set forth in Exhibit 1.

K. A new Schedule B1 is hereby added to the Agreement as set forth in Exhibit 1.

a. Value the assets of each Portfolio using: primarily, market quotations (including the use of matrix pricing) supplied by the independent pricing services selected by the Accounting Agent in consultation with the Trust's investment adviser (the "Adviser") and approved by the Board; secondarily, if a designated pricing service does not provide a price for a security that the Accounting Agent believes should be available by market quotation, the Accounting Agent may obtain a price by calling brokers designated by the Adviser, or if the Adviser does not supply the names of such brokers, the Accounting Agent will attempt on its own to find brokers to price the security, subject to approval by the Adviser; thirdly, for securities for which no market price is available, the Valuation Committee overseen by the Board (the "Committee") will determine a fair value in good faith; or fourthly, such other procedures as may be adopted by the Board. Consistent with Rule 2a-4 under the 1940 Act, estimates may be used where necessary or appropriate. The Accounting Agent is not the guarantor of the accuracy of the securities prices received from such pricing agents and the Accounting Agent is not liable to the Trusts for errors in valuing a Portfolio's assets or calculating the net asset value (the ''NAV") per share of such Portfolio or class when the calculations are based upon inaccurate prices provided by pricing agents. The Accounting Agent will provide daily to the Adviser the security prices used in calculating the NAV of each Portfolio, for its use in preparing exception reports for those prices on which the Adviser has a comment. Further, upon receipt of the exception reports generated by the Adviser, the Accounting Agent will diligently pursue communication regarding exception reports with the designated pricing agents;

c. Prepare the daily xxxx-to-market reports and analysis incompliance with Rule 2a-7 for each of the money market portfolios.

J. At the request of the Trust, prepare various reports or other financial documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as required by federal, state and other applicable laws and regulations; and

k. Such other similar services as may be reasonably requested by the Trust.

The Trusts shall provide timely prior notice to the Accounting Agent of any modification in the manner in which such calculations are to be performed as prescribed in any revision to the Trusts’ Governing Document.

Subject to the receipt of all required data, documentation, assumptions, information and assistance from the Trusts (including from any third parties with whom the Trust will need to coordinate in order to produce such data, documentation, and information), the Administrator will use required data, documentation, assumptions, information and assistance from the Trusts, the Administrator’s internal systems and, in the case of Trusts not administered by the Administrator or its affiliates, third party Trust administrators or other data providers, including but not limited to Third Party Data (as defined below) (collectively, the “Required Data”) to perform necessary data aggregations and calculations and prepare, as applicable: (i) agreed upon data required for the submission of Form N-PORT and any forms adopted to replace such forms on a monthly basis or as otherwise necessary (“Form N-PORT Data”) and (ii) agreed upon data required for the submission of Form N-CEN and any forms adopted to replace such forms on an annual basis or as otherwise necessary (“Form N-CEN Data”).

The Administrator, at the direction of and on behalf of each Trust, will electronically submit the completed Form NPORT Data and completed Form N-CEN Data to (i) each Trust, as relevant and/or (ii) the third-party filing agent for, and as designed from time to time in writing by, the Trusts (the “Agent(s)”), and will provide reasonable cooperation to the relevant Trust as reasonably requested by such Trust with respect to the Form N-PORT Data and Form N-CEN Data.

Each Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for (i) reviewing and approving each such Form N-PORT Data and Form N-CEN Data, (ii) incorporating such information into such Trust’s filing mechanism, and (iii) producing an .XML file and filing such Form N-PORT Data and Form N-CEN Data with the SEC.

The Form N-PORT Data will be provided with respect to each Trust and each Fund of the Trusts as set forth in the attached Annex 1, which shall be executed by State Street and each Trust. The Form N-CEN Data will be provided with respect to each Trust as set forth in the attached Annex 1. Annex 1 may be updated from time to time upon the written request of each Trust and by virtue of an updated Annex 1 that is signed by all parties.

(b) Quarterly Portfolio of Investments Services:

Subject to the receipt of all Required Data, and as a component of the Services, the Administrator will use such Required Data from each Trust, State Street’s internal systems, and other data providers to prepare a draft portfolio of investments (the “Portfolio of Investments”), compliant with GAAP, as of each Trusts’ first and third fiscal quarter-ends.

Each Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for (i) reviewing and approving each such Portfolio of Investments, (ii) incorporating such information into such Trust’s filing mechanism, (iii) attaching each of its Portfolio of Investments to its first and third fiscal quarter-end N-PORT filings, and (iv) submitting such Portfolios of Investments as part of such N-PORT filings electronically to the SEC.

II. Trust Duties, Representations and Covenants in Connection with the Services.

The provision of the Services to each Trust by State Street 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 each Trust or its affiliates or any Fund, pooled vehicle, security or other investment or portfolio regarding which each Trust or its affiliates provide services or is otherwise associated (“Trust Entities”) that is generated or aggregated by State Street or its affiliates in connection with services performed on each Trust’s behalf or otherwise prepared by State Street (“State Street Data,” together with Required Data and Third Party Data (as defined below), “Services-Related Data”). State Street’s obligations, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to any State Street Data used in connection with other services received by each Trust shall be as provided in such respective other agreements between State Street or its affiliates and each 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 State Street’s or its affiliates’ obligations to each Trust under the Other Trust Agreements.

In connection with the provision of the Services by State Street, each Trust acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for providing State Street with any information requested by State Street, 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 State Street, in formats compatible with Administrator-provided data templates including, without limitation, Required Data and the information and assumptions required by State Street 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 State Street, in its discretion (collectively, the “Onboarding Checklist”) and such other forms and templates as may be used by State Street for such purposes from time to time, for all Trusts and/or Funds receiving services under this Agreement, including but not limited to those to be reported on Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN (as determined by each Trust), including, without limitation, arranging for the provision of data from each 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 State Street (or any of its affiliates) in its capacity as administrator to one or more Trusts, State Street and each Trust will agree on the scope of the information to be extracted from State Street’s or any of its affiliate’s systems for purposes of State Street’s provision of the Services, subject to the discretion of State Street, and State Street 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 State Street to provide the Services.

The following are examples of certain types of information that each Trust is likely to be required to provide pursuant to Sections 1(A) and 1(B) above, and each 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 each Trust (i.e., small or large filer);

· Identification of any data sourced from third parties; and

· Identification of any securities reported as Miscellaneous.

2. Each Trust acknowledges that it has provided to State Street all material assumptions used by each Trust or that are expected to be used by each Trust in connection with the completion of the Services, and that it has approved all material assumptions used by State Street in the provision of the Services prior to the first use of the Services. Each Trust will also be responsible for promptly notifying State Street of any changes in any such material assumptions previously notified to State Street by each Trust or otherwise previously approved by each Trust in connection with State Street’s provision of the Services. Each Trust acknowledges that the completion 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 State Street in performing the Services; and

· Assumptions specific to each Trust.

Each 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 each Trust (and/or State Street 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. Each Trust acknowledges and agrees on the following matters:

(A) Each 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 each Trust has determined that the Services are suitable for its purposes. None of State Street or its affiliates, nor their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or service providers (collectively, including State Street, “State Street Parties”) make any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Services or otherwise.

(B) Each Trust assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it. State Street 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 State Street is not providing any customization, guidance, or recommendations. Where each Trust uses Services to comply with any law, regulation, agreement, or other Trust obligation, State Street makes no representation that any Service complies with such law, regulation, agreement, or other obligation, and State Street has no obligation of compliance with respect thereto.

(C) Each Trust may use the Services and any reports, charts, graphs, data, analyses and other results generated by State Street in connection with the Services and provided by State Street to each Trust (“Materials”) (a) for the internal business purpose of each 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. Each Trust may also redistribute the Materials, or an excerpted portion thereof, to its investment managers, investment advisers, agents, clients, investors or participants, as applicable, that have a reasonable interest in the Materials in connection with their relationship with each Trust (each a “Permitted Person”); provided, however, (i) each 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 each Trust has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data, or (iii) each Trust may not use the Services or Materials in any way to compete or enable any third party to compete with State Street. 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), each 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 each Trust or any Permitted Persons (collectively, including each 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 each 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) make copies of the Services, the Materials or portions thereof; (iii) 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; (iv) 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 (v) 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) Each 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, each 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 State Street (as confidential information is defined in the Agreement and other than Third Party Data and Required Data), are the sole property of State Street. Each Trust has no rights or interests with respect to all or any part of the Services, the Materials or State Street’s confidential information, other than its use and redistribution rights expressly set forth in Section 3(C) herein. Each Trust automatically and irrevocably assigns to State Street any right, title or interest that it has, or may be deemed to have, in the Services, the Materials or State Street’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 State Street (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 each Trust.

(F) State Street 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.
