Shares or units of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) of each Fund are divided into separate classes. This Agreement relates to Class A Shares of the Funds.

You are a financial institution or other service provider (the “Service Organization”) whose customers include employee benefit plans that purchase, hold, exchange and redeem Shares of the Funds (the “Customers”). Certain recordkeeping, reporting and processing services are provided by a third party administrator (“TPA”) in connection with the Customers’ investments. You are willing to perform, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ wishes to compensate you for performing, support services with respect to the Customers, including assisting the TPA in the performance of its services (the “Services”). Accordingly, the Service Organization and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ agree as follows:

     1. Agreement to Provide Services. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby engages the Service Organization, and the Service Organization hereby agrees, to perform the following Services: (a) assist in establishing and maintaining individual accounts and records with respect to those Shares of the Funds owned by the Customers; (b) assist in processing Customer orders to purchase, redeem and exchange Shares promptly and in accordance with the effective prospectus relating to such Shares; (c) assist in receiving and transmitting funds representing the purchase price or redemption proceeds of such Shares; (d) assist in providing periodic statements to each Customer showing account balances and transactions during the relevant period; (e) assist in disbursing dividends and distributions declared on Shares of the Funds; (f) assist in mailing to Customers reports and proxy statements issued by the Trust; (g) assist in handling tax withholding and remittances required by federal income tax laws with respect to Customer accounts, preparing and filing with the Internal Revenue Service required returns and statements and preparing and mailing to Customers statements and reports concerning dividends and distributions to shareholders that are required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) or federal income tax laws; (h) assist in acting as liaison between Customers and the Trust, including obtaining information from the Trust, assisting the Trust in correcting errors and resolving problems; (i) assist in providing services similar to those listed above to the participants in Customers that are participant-directed plans; and (j) provide such statistical and other information as may be reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or necessary for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or the Funds to comply with applicable federal or state laws, including reports of sales of the Classes of the Funds in each state or other jurisdiction for purposes of complying with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

     2. Expenses of the Service Organization. The Service Organization shall furnish such office space, equipment, facilities and personnel as may be necessary to perform its duties hereunder. The Service Organization shall bear all costs incurred by it in performing such duties.

     3. Fees Payable to the Service Organization. For the Services provided and the expenses incurred by the Service Organization hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ will pay to the Service Organization a quarterly service fee equal on an annual basis to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Shares of each Fund which are owned beneficially by Customers during such period.

     4. Performance of Duties. In performing its duties hereunder, the Service Organization will act in conformity with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’ instructions, the terms of its Customer agreements, the then effective prospectuses and statements of additional information for the Shares of each Fund, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and all other applicable federal and state laws, regulations and rulings and the constitution, by-laws and rules of any applicable self-regulatory organization. The Service Organization will assume sole responsibility for its compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and shall rely exclusively upon its own determination, or that of its legal advisers, that the performance of its duties hereunder complies with such laws and regulations. Under no circumstances shall the Trust, any Fund, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or any of their affiliates be held responsible or liable in any respect for any statements or representations made by them or their legal advisers to the Service Organization or any Customer of the Service Organization concerning the applicability of any federal or state laws or regulations to the activities described herein. The Service Organization will perform its duties hereunder in a manner consistent with the customs and practices of other institutions that provide similar services.

     5. Money Laundering. The Service Organization and its agents are required either by law or as a matter of good practice to operate policies and procedures for the purpose of guarding against money laundering activities. Amongst other matters, those policies and procedures include the identification of clients and the source of moneys provided by clients and the identification of “suspicious transactions”. We have agreed that investments made on behalf of Clients must be made through a nominee or omnibus account in your name (or your clearing agent’s name on your behalf) and have agreed that corresponding information identifying Clients will not be sought by us from each of your Clients. As a consequence, you are required to identify your Clients underlying each transaction and the source of the moneys and to identify whether such transactions are suspicious transactions. You hereby agree that you will fully comply with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations and that in respect of each order for the purchase of Shares which either you or your agents or your Clients place with the Service Organization: (a) you have obtained recent evidence satisfactory in nature to establish the identity of each Client and/or principal to the transaction and the beneficial owner(s) of the Shares so purchased; and (b) such evidence will be made available to us or to the Service Organization or its agents for regulatory purposes, on request; and (c) you will identify any suspicious transaction to us.
