accrual for any federal, state, or foreign income taxes unless the Fund shall have specified to BNY the precise amount of the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce net asset value. Each Fund shall also furnish BNY with
bid, offer, or market values of Securities if BNY notifies such Fund that same are not available to BNY from a security pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by BNY which BNY in its judgment deems reliable at the time such
information is required for calculations hereunder. At any time and from time to time, the Fund also may furnish BNY with bid, offer, or market values of Securities and instruct BNY to use such information in its calculations hereunder. BNY shall at
no time be required or obligated to commence or maintain any utilization of, or subscriptions to, any securities pricing or similar service. In no event shall BNY 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 the Fund. 
 (h) BNY may apply to the Managing Owner for written instructions with respect to any matter arising
in connection with BNY’s performance hereunder for such Fund, and BNY shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with such instructions. Such application for instructions may, at the option of BNY,
set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by BNY with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken, and BNY shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified therein unless, prior to taking or omitting to take any such action, BNY has received written instructions in response
to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

  
 - 6 -









 (i) BNY may consult with counsel to a Fund or its own counsel, at such Fund’s expense,
and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith after consultation with the Managing Owner in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(j) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, but to the extent expressly otherwise provided in Schedules I or
II attached hereto, BNY shall have no duty or obligation to with respect to, including, without limitation, any duty or obligation to determine, or advise or notify a Fund of: (i) the taxable nature of any distribution or amount received or
deemed received by, or payable to, such Fund, (ii) the taxable nature or effect on such Fund or its shareholders of any corporate actions, class actions, tax reclaims, tax refunds or similar events, (iii) the taxable nature or taxable
amount of any distribution or other amount paid, payable or deemed paid, by such Fund to its shareholders; or (iv) the effect under any federal, state, foreign, or other applicable income tax laws of such Fund making or not making any
distribution or other payment, or any election with respect thereto. 
 (k) BNY, in performing the services required of it under
the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled reasonably to rely fully on the accuracy and validity of any and all instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation furnished to it by a 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; and amounts receivable or amounts payable for the sale or redemption of Fund shares effected by or
on behalf of a Fund. In the event BNY’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 a pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by BNY which BNY in its judgment deems reliable, or from a broker-dealer selected by BNY, BNY shall not be responsible for, under any


  
 - 7 -









 
duty to inquire into, or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BNY shall not be
required to inquire into any valuation of securities or other assets by a Fund or any third party described in this sub-section (k) even though BNY 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. 
 (l) BNY, 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 such Fund.

Securities held by such Fund at such times and dates and in the manner specified in the then currently effective Prospectus of such Fund, except that notwithstanding any language in the Prospectus, in no event shall BNY 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. To the extent valuation of Securities or computation of a Fund’s net asset value as specified in the Fund’s then currently effective Prospectus is at any time
inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, such Fund shall immediately so notify BNY in writing and thereafter shall either furnish BNY at all appropriate times with the values of such Securities and net asset value, or subject to the
prior approval of BNY, instruct BNY in writing to value Securities and compute net asset value in a manner which such Fund then represents in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. Such Fund may also from time to time,
subject to the prior approval of BNY, instruct BNY in writing to compute the value of the Securities or net asset value in a manner other than as specified in this sub-section (m). By giving such instruction, such Fund shall be deemed to have
represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and its then currently effective Prospectus. Each Fund shall have sole responsibility for determining the method of valuation of Securities and the method of
computing net asset value. 

  
 - 8 -









 (n) BNY shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever except such duties and
responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and Schedules I and II attached hereto, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against BNY in connection with this Agreement.

(a) BNY shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees
(collectively, “Losses”), incurred by or asserted against a Fund, except those Losses arising out of BNY’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall BNY be liable to a Fund or any third party for special, indirect
or consequential damages, or 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, nor shall BNY be liable for

connection with its performance hereunder, including its actions or omissions, the incompleteness or inaccuracy of any specifications or other information furnished by or on behalf of a Fund, or for delays caused by circumstances beyond BNY’s
reasonable control, unless any Loss described in this Subsection (a) arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of BNY. 
 (b) Each Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless BNY from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and claims (including claims asserted by such Fund), and reasonable attorneys’
and accountants’ fees relating thereto, which are sustained or incurred or which may be asserted against BNY, by reason of or as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by BNY in good faith hereunder or in reliance upon (i) any
law, act, regulation or interpretation of the same, issued by a court or governmental agency, (ii) a Fund’s Registration Statement or Prospectus, (iii) any instructions of an officer of the Managing Owner, or (iv) any opinion of
legal counsel for a Fund or BNY, or arising out of transactions or other activities of a Fund which occurred prior to the commencement of this Agreement; provided, that a Fund shall not indemnify BNY for costs, expenses, damages, liabilities
or claims for which BNY is liable under preceding sub-section 7(a). This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of each Fund, its respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the

of legal counsel for the Fund or its own counsel, shall be conclusively presumed to have been taken or omitted in good faith. 

8. Limitation of Liability.

existing and relating to this Agreement with respect to a particular Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of that particular Fund only, and not against the assets of any other Fund and that they have executed one instrument for convenience
only.

is mutually agreed from time to time and such out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., telecommunication charges, postage and delivery charges, record retention costs, reproduction charges and transportation and lodging costs) as are incurred by BNY in
performing its duties hereunder. Except as hereinafter set forth, compensation shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly. Each Fund authorizes BNY to debit such Fund’s custody account for all amounts due and payable hereunder. BNY
shall deliver to each Fund invoices for services rendered after debiting such Fund’s custody account with an indication that payment has been made. Upon termination of this Agreement before the end of any month, the compensation for such part
of a month shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining compensation payable to BNY,
each Fund’s net asset value shall be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Fund’s Prospectus. 

10. Term of Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement shall continue until terminated by either BNY giving to a Fund, or a Fund giving to BNY, a notice in writing specifying the date of such termination, which date shall be not less than
ninety (90) days after the date of the giving of such notice. Upon termination hereof, the affected Fund(s) shall pay to BNY such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall reimburse BNY for any disbursements and
expenses made or incurred by BNY and payable or reimbursable hereunder. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, BNY may terminate
this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to a Fund if such Fund shall terminate its custody agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, or fail to perform its obligations hereunder in a material respect. 

  
 - 12 -









 (c) Termination of this Agreement by any Fund shall not constitute a termination by any
other Fund unless separate notice is given. 
 11. Authorized Persons. 

Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a list of persons duly authorized by each Fund to execute this Agreement and give any written or
oral instructions, or written or oral specifications, by or on behalf of a Fund. From time to time a Fund may deliver a new Exhibit B to add or delete any person and BNY shall be entitled to rely on the last Exhibit B actually received by BNY.

 12. Amendment. 
 This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by BNY and each Fund to be bound thereby, and authorized or approved by each Fund to be bound thereby.

 13. Assignment. 
 This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by any Fund without
the written consent of BNY, or by BNY without the written consent of the Funds. 
 14. Governing Law; Consent to
Jurisdiction. 
 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
conflict of laws principles thereof. Each Fund hereby consents to the jurisdiction of a state or federal court situated in New York City, New York in connection with any dispute arising hereunder, and waives to the fullest extent permitted by law
its right to a trial by jury. To the extent that in any jurisdiction a Fund may now or hereafter be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process, each Fund
irrevocably agrees not to claim, and each hereby waives, such immunity. 

  
 - 13 -









 15. Severability. 

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other
persons and circumstances. Each Fund is entering this Agreement on its own account and no action by one Fund shall affect this Agreement with any other Fund. 
 16. No Waiver. 
 Each and every right granted to BNY hereunder or under any
other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of BNY to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate
as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by BNY of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
