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;

NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the Rule, the Parties desire to set forth the following terms pursuant to which one or more Acquiring Funds may invest in one or more Acquired Funds in compliance with the conditions of the Rule.

(a) In order to help reasonably address the risk of undue influence on an Acquired Fund by an Acquiring Fund, and to assist each Acquired Fund’s investment adviser with making the required findings under the Rule, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) Redemptions. The Trust, the Adviser and each Acquiring Fund hereby acknowledges and agree that, if and to the extent consistent with the Acquired Fund’s registration statement, as amended from time to time, the Acquired Fund may, in its sole discretion, honor any redemption request, partially or wholly in-kind.

(ii) Timing and advance notice of redemptions. Each Acquiring Fund will (x) use reasonable efforts to provide advance notification of (A) at least twenty (20) business days prior to placing any redemption request for shares of an Acquired Fund the value of which exceeds 5% of the total net assets of the Acquired Fund, and (B) at least ten (10) business days prior to placing any redemption request for shares of an Acquired Fund the value of which, in the aggregate, exceeds 3% of the total net assets of the Acquired Fund (but is less than 5% of the total net assets), and (y) work in good faith with the Acquired Fund(s) to determine the most efficient and effective way to satisfy the redemption request in the best interests of both the Acquired Fund(s) and each Acquiring Fund in each case whenever practicable and only if consistent with the Acquiring Fund’s and its shareholders’ 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.

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

Any attempt by a Party to transfer or assign this Agreement or any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement without such consent is void; provided, however, that a merger of, reinsurance arrangement by, or change of control of a Party shall not be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of this Agreement.

16. Each Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information (including personal financial information of the customers of either Party) received from the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.

20. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

21. This Agreement and any amendment to it may be executed in one or more counterparts. All of those counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile or by emailing a copy in .pdf form shall be treated as an original and shall bind all Parties just as would the exchange of originally signed copies.

22. In the event of a dispute between the Parties with respect to this Agreement, and in the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute between them within 60 days from the date of the aggrieved Party’s notice of its intent to press the dispute, then before any party shall undertake to litigate the dispute it shall be submitted to non-binding arbitration conducted expeditiously.
