Exhibit (h)(3)

ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

This Administration Agreement (“Agreement”) dated and effective as of March 3, 2025, is by and between State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company (the “Administrator”), TCW Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“TCW”), and TCW Metropolitan West Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (“MetWest”). TCW and MetWest are each referred to herein as a “Company.”

WHEREAS, the Company is an open-end management investment company currently comprised of multiple series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by means of a registration statement (“Registration Statement”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Administrator to furnish certain administrative services to the Company, and the Administrator is willing to furnish such services, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The Company hereby appoints the Administrator to act as administrator to the Company for purposes of providing certain administrative services for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Administrator accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services stated herein.

The Company currently consists of the Funds listed in Schedule A to this Agreement and their respective classes of shares. In the event that the Company establishes one or more additional Fund(s) with respect to which it wishes to retain the Administrator to act as administrator hereunder, the Company shall notify the Administrator in writing. Upon written acceptance by the Administrator, such Fund(s) shall become subject to the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the existing Funds, except to the extent that such provisions (including those relating to compensation and expenses payable) may be modified with respect to such Fund in writing by the Company and the Administrator at the time of the addition of such Fund.

The Company will promptly deliver to the Administrator copies of each of the following documents and all future amendments and supplements, if any:

a. The Company’s Declaration of Trust or Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable, and its By-laws (“Governing Documents”);

The Administrator represents and warrants to the Company that:

The Company represents and warrants to the Administrator that:

The Administrator shall provide the services as listed on Schedule B, subject to the authorization and direction of the Company and, in each case where appropriate, the review and comment by the Company’s independent accountants and legal counsel and in accordance with procedures which may be established from time to time between the Company and the Administrator.

The Administrator shall perform such other services for the Company that are mutually agreed to by the parties from time to time, for which the Company will pay such fees as may be mutually agreed upon, including the Administrator’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The provision of such services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and as agreed by the parties.

The Administrator shall provide at its own expense the office facilities and the personnel determined by it to perform the services contemplated herein.

The Administrator shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and expenses, as agreed upon from time to time in writing between the Company on behalf of each applicable Fund and the Administrator.

The Company agrees promptly to reimburse the Administrator for any equipment and supplies specially ordered by or for the Company through the Administrator and for any other expenses not contemplated by this Agreement that the Administrator may incur on the Company’s behalf at the Company’s request or with the Company’s consent.

The Company, or the adviser to the Company, as the case may be, will bear all expenses that are incurred in its operation and not specifically assumed by the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, Company expenses not assumed by the Administrator include, but are not

4

limited to: organizational expenses; cost of services of independent accountants and outside legal and tax counsel including such counsel’s review of the Registration Statement, Form N-CSR, Form N-PORT, Form N-PX, Form N-MFP, Form N-CEN, proxy materials, federal and state tax qualification as a regulated investment company and other notices, registrations, reports, filings and materials prepared by the Administrator under this Agreement; cost of any services contracted for by the Company directly from parties other than the Administrator; cost of trading operations and brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Company; investment advisory fees; taxes, insurance premiums and other fees and expenses applicable to its operation; costs incidental to any meetings of shareholders including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, proxy filing fees and the costs of preparation (e.g., typesetting, XBRL-tagging, page changes and all other print vendor and ▇▇▇▇▇ charges, collectively referred to herein as “Preparation”), printing, distribution and mailing of any proxy materials; costs incidental to Board meetings, including fees and expenses of Board members; the salary and expenses of any officer, director/trustee or employee of the Company; costs of Preparation, printing, distribution and mailing, as applicable, of the Company’s Registration Statements and any amendments and supplements thereto and shareholder reports; cost of Preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, Form N-1A, Form N-CSR, Form N- PORT, Form N-PX, Form N-MFP and Form N-CEN, and all notices, registrations and amendments associated with applicable federal and state tax and securities laws; all applicable registration fees and filing fees required under federal and state securities laws; the cost of fidelity bond and D&O/E&O liability insurance; and the cost of independent pricing services used in computing the Fund(s)’ net asset value.

For avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Administrator shall not be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Company for an expense as to which the Company provides documentation evidencing that such expense has previously been paid to the Administrator by or on behalf of the Company.

Standard of Care. The Administrator shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to exercise the reasonable level of skill, care and diligence of a professional provider of administrative services in its performance of the services provided under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, the Administrator shall have no responsibility for the actions of any other party, including other service providers to the Company. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder, except to the extent caused by or resulting from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrator, its officers or employees in the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder.

At any time, the Administrator may apply to any officer of the Company or his or her designee for instructions or the independent accountants for the Company, with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Administrator under this Agreement. The Administrator shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon reasonable advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Company) on all matters and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice. The Administrator shall not be liable,

5

and shall be indemnified by the Company, for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon any such instructions or advice or upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons. The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company or the Fund(s). Nothing in this Section shall be construed as imposing upon the Administrator any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received.

8.1  The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section 13, the Administrator shall have no responsibility for the actions of any other party, including other service providers to the Company. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder, except to the extent caused by or resulting from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrator, its officers or employees in the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Company insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reliance upon records that were maintained for the Company by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as administrator for the Company.

8.2  Subject to the other provisions of this Section and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the maximum aggregate liability of the Administrator to the Company during the Term and thereafter, arising from or in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the type or cause of action or number of causes of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence of any kind), misrepresentation, warranty, strict liability, indemnity or other legal or equitable grounds in respect of any and all losses will be limited to and will not exceed a sum equal to one hundred percent (100 %) of the total aggregate amount of the fees paid and/or payable by the Company to the Administrator in respect of the Services under the Agreement in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the first event, act, or omission giving rise to the claim or, during the first twelve months following the Agreement Effective Date.

8.3  Neither party shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits, of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) under any provision of this Agreement or for any such damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either party or any entity had been advised of the possibility of such damages.

8.4  The Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, natural disaster, governmental action, or communication disruption.

6

8.5  Indemnity by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold the Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by the Administrator resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with the Administrator’s acceptance of this Agreement, any action or omission by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Company or upon reasonable reliance on information or records given or made by the Company or its investment adviser, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator, its officers or employees in cases of its or their own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct.

8.6  Indemnity by the Administrator. Subject to this Section and the exclusions and limitations of liability elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrator will indemnify the Company against any direct losses incurred by the Company, in each case, to the extent such losses result from the negligence, willful default or fraud of the Administrator (or that of its Delegates) in the discharge of the Administrator’s duties under this Agreement. “Delegate” means any agent, subcontractor, consultant and other third party, selected by the Administrator to provide or assist it in the provision of all or any part of the Services. The term “Delegate” does not include other providers of services to the Company, including the Company’s investment manager, adviser or sub-advisor, distributor, broker, dealer, transfer agent, administrator, accounting agent, audit firm, tax firm, or law firm.

8.7  Duty to Mitigate. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses in respect of which it claims indemnification under this Agreement.

8.8  Notice of Claims. A Party seeking indemnification under this Section (“Indemnified Party”) against a third-party claim (“Indemnified Claim”) will promptly provide written notice of such claim to the Party obligated to indemnify (“Indemnifying Party”). The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve such Party of any liability under this Section, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the investigation and/or defense of the Indemnified Claim.

8.9  Right to Control Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party will, at its own expense, be entitled but not obligated to control and direct the investigation and defense of any Indemnified Claim, except where the Administrator is the Indemnified Party and is seeking indemnification from multiple customers for claims based on common facts or otherwise related to the Indemnified Claim, in which case the Administrator will have the right to control and direct the investigation and defense of such claim, at the expense of (i) the Indemnifying Party or (ii) all of the customers from which indemnification is sought, including the Indemnifying Party, pro rata, as appropriate. Where the Indemnifying Party controls and directs the investigation of the defense of the Indemnified Claim, the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel at its own expense. If a conflict of interest exists between the Parties with respect to the defense of such claim, the reasonable cost of separate counsel will be an indemnified expense.

8.10 Settlement of Claims. Neither Party may settle an Indemnified Claim without the consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or

7

delayed, provided that the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle an Indemnified Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement:

(i)   involves only the payment of money;

(ii)  fully and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from any liability in exchange for the amount paid in settlement; and

(iii)  does not include any admission of fault or liability in relation to the Indemnified Party.

8.11 Cooperation. In all cases, each Party will, as applicable, provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to the other Party and keep the other Party apprised as to the status of the Indemnified Claim, including any discussions relating to the settlement of the claim and the details of any settlement offer.

The limitation of liability and indemnification contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.1.1 All information provided by or on behalf of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) or otherwise collected by a Receiving Party under or pursuant to this Agreement that is marked “confidential,” “restricted,” “proprietary” or with a similar designation, or that the Receiving Party knows or reasonably should know is confidential, proprietary or a trade secret will be treated as confidential (“Confidential Information”). The terms and conditions of this Agreement will be treated as each party’s Confidential Information as if each party is the Disclosing Party of such information.

9.1.2 Confidential Information will not include information that: (a) is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement; (b) was known to the Receiving Party (without an obligation of confidentiality) prior to its disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of other Confidential Information; (d) is rightfully obtained on a non-confidential basis from a third party source; (e) that is disclosed to comply with any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, (f) that is disclosed as required by operation of law or regulation or as required to comply with the requirements of any market infrastructure that the Disclosing Party or its agents direct the Administrator or its Affiliates to employ (or which is required in connection with the holding or settlement of instruments included in the assets subject to this Agreement), or (g) where the party seeking to disclose has received the prior written consent of the party providing the information, which consent shall not be

8

unreasonably withheld.. Administrator agrees that it will maintain and enforce policies that prohibit the Administrator and its employees from engaging in securities transactions based on knowledge of the portfolio holdings of the Administrator’s clients.

9.1.3 Confidential Information and Cloud Computing and Storage. Each Party may store Confidential Information with third-party providers of information technology services, and permit access to Confidential Information by such third- party providers as reasonably necessary for the receipt of cloud computing and storage services and related hardware and software maintenance and support, provided, however, such Confidential Information is disclosed under obligations of confidentiality.

9.2 (a) In connection with the provision of the services and the discharge of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator (which term for purposes of this Section 9.2 includes each of its parent company, branches and affiliates (“Affiliates”)) may collect and store information regarding the Company or Fund and share such information with its Affiliates, agents and service providers in order and to the extent reasonably necessary (i) to carry out the provision of service contemplated under this Agreement and other agreements between the Company and the Administrator or any of its Affiliates and (ii) to carry out management of its businesses, including, but not limited to, financial and operational management and reporting, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance and client service management.

(b) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Section 9.2 shall limit the confidentiality and data-protection obligations of the Administrator and its Affiliates under this Agreement and applicable law. The Administrator shall cause any Affiliate, agent or service provider to which it has disclosed Data pursuant to this Section 9.2 to comply at all times with confidentiality and data-protection obligations as if it were a party to this Agreement.

(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, the Administrator and/or its Affiliates may use any Confidential Information of the Company or Portfolios (“Data”) obtained by such entities in the performance of their services under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Administrator or one of its Affiliates, including Data regarding transactions and portfolio holdings relating to the Company to develop, publish or otherwise distribute to third parties certain investor behavior “indicators” or “indices” that represent broad trends in the flow of investment funds into various markets, sectors or investment instruments (collectively, the “Indicators”), but only so long as (i) the Data is combined or aggregated with (A) information of other customers of the Administrator and/or (B) information derived from other sources, in each case such that the Indicators do not allow for attribution or identification of such Data with the Company, (ii) the Data represents less than a statistically meaningful portion of all of the data

9

used to create the Indicators and (iii) the Administrator publishes or otherwise distributes to third parties only the Indicators and under no circumstance publishes, makes available, distributes or otherwise discloses any of the Data to any third party, whether aggregated, anonymized or otherwise, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the Administrator will indemnify the Company in accordance with Section 8.6 of this Agreement against any direct losses incurred by the Company, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the negligence, willful default or fraud of the Administrator and/or its Delegates in the discharge of its obligations under this Section 9.2(c).

(d) The Company acknowledges that the Administrator may seek to realize economic benefit from the publication or distribution of the Indicators.

The Company assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules, and regulations applicable to it. The Administrator shall provide the Company with such reports as the Company may reasonably request to fulfill its duties under Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act or similar legal or regulatory requirements. Upon reasonable request by the Company, the Administrator shall also provide to the Company with sub- certifications in connection with certification requirements pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002.

In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Administrator agrees that all records which it maintains for the Company shall at all times remain the property of the Company, shall be readily accessible during normal business hours, and shall be promptly surrendered upon the termination of the Agreement or otherwise on written request except as otherwise provided in Section 13. The Administrator further agrees that all records that it maintains for the Company pursuant to Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the Rules thereunder will be preserved for the periods prescribed by the applicable Rules unless any such records are earlier surrendered as provided above. Records may be surrendered in either written or machine-readable form, at the option of the Administrator. In the event that the Administrator is requested or authorized by the Company, or required by subpoena, administrative order, court order or other legal process, applicable law or regulation, or required in connection with any investigation, examination or inspection of the Company by state or federal regulatory agencies, to produce the records of the Company or the Administrator’s personnel as witnesses or deponents, the Company agrees to pay the Administrator for the Administrator’s time and reasonable expenses, as well as the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrator’s counsel incurred in such production. The Administrator will cooperate with the Company’s independent accountants and provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time, to such accountants.

The services of the Administrator are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Administrator shall be free to render similar services to others. The Administrator shall be deemed to be an

10

independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized by the Company from time to time, have no authority to act or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company.

12.1 Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years from the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of one (1) year each (each, a “Renewal Term”, and all collectively, including the Initial Term, shall be referred to as the “Term”), unless either party provides written notice to the other party of its intent to not renew at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Term, or unless otherwise terminated earlier in accordance with the Agreement.

12.2 Neither Party may terminate this Agreement, any Schedule, or any Service prior to the expiry of the Term for any reason other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

12.3 Termination for Cause. Each party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect on written notice to the other party if:

12.3.1 The other party is subject to an Insolvency Event;

12.3.2 The other party commits any material breach of:

(i) applicable law that has a material and negative impact on the non- breaching party;

(ii) its information security obligations in this Agreement; or

(iii) this Agreement,

Provided, however, in each case above, if the material breach is capable of remedy, that material breach has not been remedied by the other party within sixty (60) days of written notice by the first party or, if such breach is not capable of remedy within such sixty (60) day period, a reasonable time mutually agreed to in writing by the relevant parties, provided, however, that the other party commences to cure such breach within such sixty (60) day period and diligently pursues the cure of such breach to completion.

12.4 Remedial Plan. If a party acting in good faith believes the other party has committed a material breach of this Agreement, such party will, prior to exercising its right under Section 12.3, escalate the matter by written notice given to the breaching party for good faith discussion and resolution. If after thirty (30) Business Days following such written notice, the parties have not agreed to a remedial plan, such party may proceed to provide the other party of written notice of material breach of the Agreement.

11

13.1  Use of Delegates. The Administrator has the right, without prior notice to or the consent of the Company, to employ Delegates to provide or assist it in the provision of all or any part of the Services. Unless otherwise agreed in a fee schedule, the Administrator will be responsible for the compensation of its Delegates.

13.2  Provision of Information Regarding Delegates. The Administrator will provide or make available to the Company on a quarterly or other periodic basis information regarding its global operating model for the delivery of the Services, which information will include the identities of Delegates affiliated with the Administrator that perform or may perform any part of the Services, and the locations from which such Delegates perform Services, as well as such other information about its Delegates as the Company may reasonably request from time to time.

13.3  Responsibility for Delegates. The Administrator will be responsible for the Services delivered by, and the acts and omissions of, any such Delegate as if the Administrator had committed such acts and omissions itself.

13.4  With respect to the Fund Administration Tax Services as set forth on Schedule B2 attached hereto, the Company acknowledges and agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrator a tax delegation consent in the form set forth as Schedule B2(i) hereto, with such changes as the Administrator may reasonably require from time to time. While the parties anticipate that such consent will be valid as long as the Agreement remains in effect, in the event the Company revokes its consent at any time or does not provide its consent as required hereunder, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Administrator may, without liability or prior notice, cease performing any or all of the Fund Administration Tax Services and may renegotiate the fees the Administrator charge for such Fund Administration Tax Services.

13.5  Sole Point of Contact. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Administrator will remain the sole point of contact for the Company regarding any Services provided by the Delegates.

In connection with the operation of this Agreement, the Administrator, and the Company on behalf of each of the Funds, may from time to time agree on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions shall be in a writing signed by all parties, provided that no such interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any applicable laws or regulations or any provision of the Company’s Governing Documents. No interpretive or additional provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an amendment of the Agreement.

12

Any notice, instruction or other instrument required to be given hereunder will be in writing and may be sent by hand, or by facsimile transmission, or overnight delivery by any recognized delivery service, to the parties at the following address or such other address as may be notified by any party from time to time:

This Agreement may be amended at any time in writing by mutual agreement of the parties hereto.

Except as provided in Section 13, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be delegated or assigned by either party without the written consent of the other party. Provided, however, that the Administrator may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor of all, or a substantial portion of, its business and assets (including a bridge bank or similar entity) that provides the services, or to one of its affiliates.

13

The terms of this Agreement are binding on and will inure to the benefit of the Company and the Administrator and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

The Administrator shall implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program that contains appropriate security measures to safeguard the personal information of the Company’s shareholders, employees, directors and/or officers that the Administrator receives, stores, maintains, processes, or otherwise accesses in connection with the provision of services hereunder. For these purposes, “personal information” shall mean (i) an individual’s name (first initial and last name or first name and last name), address or telephone number plus (a) social security number, (b) driver’s license number, (c) state identification card number, (d) debit or credit card number, (e) financial account number or (f) personal identification number or password that would permit access to a person’s account or (ii) any combination of the foregoing that would allow a person to log onto or access an individual’s account. Notwithstanding the foregoing “personal information” shall not include information that is lawfully obtained from publicly available information, or from federal, state, or local government records lawfully made available to the general public.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous representations, warranties, or commitments regarding the services to be performed hereunder whether oral or in writing.

The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver nor shall it deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any term of this Agreement or the failure of a party hereto to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any such term, right or remedy or a waiver of any other rights or remedies, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall prevent any further exercise of the right or remedy or the exercise or any other right or remedy. Any waiver must be in writing signed by the waiving party.

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

(b)  In the event of a dispute, both parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defenses of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding or the absence of any personal jurisdiction with respect to such party and all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, attachment (both before and after judgment), and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action or proceeding in the state or Federal courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and agree that they will not raise, claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of such action or proceeding. The parties irrevocably consent to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to such party at its address specified on Schedule 2. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding, all appeals having been taken or the time period for such appeals having expired, will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Limitation of Responsibilities. With regard to the CFTC Services, the Administrator’s responsibilities are limited to the provision of the CFTC Services described in Schedule B4. These responsibilities do not include: (i) determination of the Company’s status as a Commodity Pool Operator (a “CPO”), (ii) the determination of the Company’s eligibility for an exclusion from classification as a CPO, or (iii) the completion and filing of the Form CPO-PQR. Where the Company uses the Services to comply with any law, representation, agreement or other obligation, State Street makes no representation that any such Services complies with such law, representation, agreement, or other obligation, and State Street has no obligation of compliance with respect thereto. The Company should contact its legal counsel for specific guidance on compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act”). Unless the Company currently subscribes to fund administration legal services with the Administrator, the CFTC Services do not include assisting the Company with preparation of annual enhanced prospectus disclosures. Assistance with the registration of an entity as a CPO is not included as a CFTC Service.

Responsibilities of the Company. The Company is responsible for providing authorization and direction to the Administrator with respect to the CFTC Services. The Company is responsible for arranging, in each case where appropriate, for the review and comment by Company’s independent accountants and legal counsel of CFTC financial information, reports and any filings prepared by the Administrator. In addition, the Company is solely responsible for determining Company’s status as a CPO, and/or Company’s eligibility for an exclusion from classification as a CPO.

The Company shall be responsible for accurately and timely supplying the Administrator with complete financial, organizational and other information, and/or arranging for the provision of such information from third parties, as may be required in order for the Administrator to provide the CFTC Services, and any information requested by the Administrator in connection with the foregoing. The Administrator is authorized and instructed to rely upon the information it receives from the Company or any third party (including, without limitation, the Company’s third-party administrator(s), custodian(s), prime broker(s), and other service providers to the Company) authorized by the Company to provide such information to the Administrator and on any instructions received from the Company. The Company and any third party from which the Administrator shall receive or obtain certain records, reports and other data included in the CFTC Services provided hereunder are solely responsible for the contents of such information, including, without limitation, the accuracy thereof, and the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such records, reports and other data as provided to the Administrator by the Company or any third party, and any instructions provided to the Administrator by the Company, and shall have

no responsibility for making any interpretive determinations with respect thereto. The Administrator has no responsibility to review, confirm or otherwise assume any duty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any such information, or instructions, and shall be without liability for any loss or damage suffered by the Company as a result of the Administrator’s reliance on and utilization of such information or instructions believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly issued by or on behalf of the Company or such third party. The Administrator shall have no responsibility and shall be without liability for any loss or damage caused by the failure of the Company or any third party to provide it with the information required.

The provision of the Services to each Fund by the Administrator is subject to the following terms and conditions:

The Services depend, directly or indirectly, on: (i) Required Data and (ii) information concerning the Company or its affiliates or any Fund, pooled vehicle, security or other investment or portfolio regarding which the Company or its affiliates provide services or is otherwise associated (“Company Entities”) that is generated or aggregated by the Administrator or its affiliates in connection with services performed on the Company’s behalf or otherwise prepared by the Administrator (“State Street Data,” together with Required Data and Third Party Data (as defined below), “Services-Related Data”).

The Company may also redistribute the Materials, or an excerpted portion thereof, to its investment managers, investment advisers, agents, clients, investors or participants, as applicable, that have a reasonable interest in the Materials in connection with their relationship with the Company (each a “Permitted Person”); provided, however, (i) the Company may not charge a fee, profit, or otherwise benefit from the redistribution of Materials to Permitted Persons, (ii) data provided by third party sources such as but not limited to market or index data (“Third Party Data”) contained in the Materials may not be redistributed other than Third Party Data that is embedded in the calculations presented in the Materials and not otherwise identifiable as Third Party Data, except to the extent the Company has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data, or (iii) the Company may not use the Services or Materials in any way to compete or enable any third party to compete with the Administrator. No Permitted Person shall have any further rights of use or redistribution with respect to, or any ownership rights in, the Materials or any excerpted portion thereof.

B5-4

Except as expressly provided in this Section 3(C), the Company, any of its affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, investment managers, investment advisers, agents or any other third party, including any client of, or investor or participant in the Company or any Permitted Persons (collectively, including the Company, “Company Parties”), may not directly or indirectly, sell, rent, lease, license or sublicense, transmit, transfer, distribute or redistribute, disclose display, or provide, or otherwise make available or permit access to, all or any part of the Services or the Materials (including any State Street Data or Third Party Data contained therein, except with respect to Third Party Data to the extent the Company has separate license rights with respect to the use of such Third Party Data).

(D)    The Company shall limit the access and use of the Services and the Materials by any Company Parties to a need-to-know basis and, in connection with its obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of any Company Parties.

The Company has no rights or interests with respect to all or any part of the Services, the Materials or the Administrator’s confidential information, other than its use and redistribution rights expressly set forth in Section 3(C) herein. The Company automatically and irrevocably assigns to the Administrator any right, title or interest that it has, or may be deemed to have, in the Services, the Materials or the Administrator’s confidential information, including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any Company Party feedback, ideas, concepts, comments, suggestions, techniques or know-how shared with the Administrator (collectively, “Feedback”) and the State Street Parties shall be entitled to incorporate any Feedback in the Services or the Materials or to otherwise use such Feedback for its own commercial benefit without obligation to compensate the Company.
