This Amendment to Master Custodian Agreement (“Amendment”) is made as of August 1, 2013, by and between each management investment company party thereto (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”).

WHEREAS, each Fund and the Custodian entered into that certain Master Custodian Agreement dated as of January 1, 2007 (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, each Fund and the Custodian desire to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, each Fund, acting on its own behalf separately from all of the other investment companies and not jointly or jointly and severally with any of the other investment companies, and the Custodian hereby agree to amend the Agreement, pursuant to the terms thereof, as follows:

1. The following sentence is added at the end of the first paragraph of Section 15:

“Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Custodian shall not be liable for the insolvency of any Foreign Sub-Custodian that is not a subsidiary of the Custodian; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be applicable if the Custodian fails to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or as a Foreign Custody Manager pursuant to Rule 17f-5 with respect to such Foreign Sub-Custodian. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Custodian has met its standard of care hereunder and has fulfilled its obligations as a Foreign Custody Manager pursuant to Rule 17f-5 with respect to a Foreign Sub-Custodian, then the Custodian shall be without liability for any loss, damage or expense caused by or resulting from the insolvency of such Foreign Sub-Custodian that is not a subsidiary of the Custodian.”

2. The first sentence of Section 16(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for an additional term (the “Additional Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending December 31, 2020, and, after that, shall automatically renew for additional consecutive three (3) year terms, in each case unless either party gives one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to the other of its intent not to renew. During the Additional Term and thereafter, (i) either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of the other party’s material breach of a material provision of this Agreement that the other party has either (a) failed to cure or (b) failed to establish a remedial plan to cure that is reasonably acceptable, in either case within 60 days’ written notice of such breach and (ii) a Fund may terminate this Agreement with respect to itself or its Portfolio(s) in the event that the Fund or its Portfolio(s) are liquidated or merged into or consolidated with another person. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph with respect to any Fund or Portfolio, upon receipt of a final bill from the Custodian, the applicable Fund shall pay Custodian all accrued and unpaid fees and expenses under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Funds reserve the right to close sleeves of the Portfolios and share classes of the Funds without penalty.

Termination of this Agreement with respect to any one particular Fund or Portfolio shall in no way affect the rights and duties under this Agreement with respect to any other Fund or Portfolio. The provisions of Sections 14 and 15 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason

This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto.”

3. Sections 16(b), 16(c), 16(d), 16(e) and 16(g) of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety. Section 16(f) of the Agreement is hereby re-lettered Section 16(b).

4. Section 21.9 of the Agreement is hereby modified to update the Funds’ and the Custodian’s contact information as follows:

 

5. Appendix A to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the attached Appendix A.

6. Schedule 1 to the Investment Administration Services Addendum to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the attached Schedule I.

7. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

8. A copy of the Declaration of Trust of each Fund is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Notice is hereby given, and it is expressly agreed, that the obligations under this Amendment and the Agreement of any such Fund shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of such Fund personally, but bind only the trust property of such Fund. Furthermore, notice is given that the assets and liabilities of each series of each Fund that is a series company are separate and distinct and that the obligations of or arising out of this Amendment and the Agreement are several and not joint and are binding only on the assets or property of each series with respect to its obligations. In the case of each Fund, the execution and delivery of this Agreement on its behalf has been authorized by its trustees, and signed by an authorized officer, in each case acting in such capacity and not individually, and neither such authorization by the trustees nor such execution and delivery shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually, but shall only bind the trust property of each Fund.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Amendment to be executed in its name and behalf by its duly authorized representative as of the date first written above.
