THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of October 9, 2023, between the Acquiring Fund (the “**Acquiring Fund**”), and the Acquired Fund(the “**Acquired Fund**” and together with the Acquiring Fund, the “**Funds**”), listed on Schedule A.

WHEREAS, each Fund is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“**SEC**”) as aninvestment 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 open-end 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**”) permitsregistered investment companies, such as the Acquiring Fund, to invest in shares of other registered investment companies, such as the Acquired Fund, in excess of the limits of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act subject to compliance withthe conditions of the Rule; and 

WHEREAS, the Acquiring Fund may, from time to time, invest in shares of the AcquiredFund in excess of the limitations of Section 12(d)(1)(A) in reliance on the Rule; 

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

1. Terms of Investment 

(a) Inorder to help reasonably address the risk of undue influence on the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund, the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund agree as follows: 

(i) Material terms regarding the Acquiring Fund’s investment in the Acquired Fund necessary to make the required findings: 

(A) *Control.* The Acquiring Fund and its Advisory Group (as defined in Rule 12d1-4(d) under the1940 Act) will not control (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act), individually or in the aggregate, the Acquired Fund; provided, however, that if, as a result of a decrease in the outstanding voting securities of the AcquiredFund, the Acquiring Fund and its Advisory Group, in the aggregate, hold more than 25% of the shares of the Acquired Fund, it will vote its shares of the Acquired Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders; and further providedthat, where all holders of the Acquired Fund’s shares are required by Section 12(d)(1) to vote such Acquired Fund shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders, the Acquiring Fund will seek instructions from its holdersand vote only in accordance with such instructions. 

 
1 

(B) *In-kind redemptions*. The Acquiring Fundacknowledges and agrees that, consistent with the Acquired Fund’s registration statement, as amended from time to time, the Acquired Fund may honor any redemption request [from the Authorized Participant acting as an intermediary to execute theAcquiring Fund’s transaction] [in excess of $250,000] partially or wholly in-kind [in the sole discretion of the Acquired Fund]. 

(C) *Timing/advance notice of redemptions*. The Acquiring Fund represents that: 

(1) [The Acquiring Fund will use reasonable efforts to spread large redemption requests over multiple days and/or to provideadvance notification of redemption requests to the Acquired Fund whenever practicable;] [The Acquiring Fund will use reasonable efforts to spread large redemption requests over multiple days and/or to provide advance notification of redemptionrequests to the Acquired Fund whenever practicable. However, for Acquired Funds that operate as exchange-traded funds designed to accommodate large investments and redemptions, whether from Acquiring Funds or other investors, creation and redemptionorders for shares of the Acquired Funds can only be submitted by brokers or other participants of a registered clearing agency (collectively, “Authorized Participants”) that have entered into an agreement (“ParticipationAgreement”) with the Acquired Funds’ distributor to transact in shares of the Acquired Funds. Such Acquired Funds also have policies and procedures (the “Basket Policies”) that govern creations and redemptions of the AcquiredFunds’ shares. Any creation or redemption order submitted by such an Acquiring Fund through an Authorized Participant will be satisfied pursuant to the Basket Policies and the relevant Participation Agreement. The Basket Policies includeprovisions that govern in-kind creations and redemptions, as well as cash transactions. In any event, it is generally expected that the Acquiring Funds will transact in shares in such Acquired Funds on thesecondary market rather than through direct creation and redemption transactions with the Acquired Fund. The Funds believe that these material terms regarding an Acquiring Fund’s investment in shares of such an Acquired Fund should assist theAcquired Fund’s investment adviser with making the required findings under the Rule. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that Section 1(a)(i)(C)(1) shall not apply to sales of Acquired Fund shares in secondary markettransactions.] 

(2) The Acquiring Fund will not seek to disrupt, or intentionally disrupt, the management of the AcquiredFund in connection with any redemption request; and 

(3) All acquisitions of shares of the Acquired Fund by the AcquiringFund will be made for investment purposes and not for control purposes, and to the extent that the Acquiring Fund were required to report its holdings of Acquired Fund shares pursuant to Section 13(d) and/or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “**Exchange Act**”), such holdings would qualify at all times and under all circumstances for reporting on Form 13G under the Exchange Act. 

 
2 

(D) *Scale of investment.*Upon a reasonable request by the Acquired Fund, theAcquiring Fund will provide summary information regarding the anticipated timeline of its investment in the Acquired Fund and scale of its contemplated investments in Acquired Fund. The Acquired Fund acknowledges and agrees that any informationprovided pursuant to the foregoing is not a commitment to purchase and constitutes an estimate that may differ materially from the amount, timing and manner in which a purchase order is submitted, if any. 

(b) In order to assist the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser with assessing the impact of fees and expenses associated with aninvestment in the Acquired Fund, the Acquired Fund shall provide the Acquiring Fund with information reasonably requested by the Acquiring Fund to comply with the terms and conditions of the Rule, including information on the fees and expenses ofthe Acquired Fund.

[The Acquired Fund further agrees to provide annual certifications confirming compliance with this 10% Limit, per Appendix A.]
