Execution Version

AMENDMENT TO CUSTODY AGREEMENT

AMENDMENT made as of July 1, 2023 (the "Effective Date") to that certain Custody Agreement dated as of November 7, 2002, as amended from time to time, between each Fund listed on the attached Schedule A thereto, including any series thereof (each, a "Fund") and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly, The Bank of New York) ("Custodian") (such Custody Agreement, as amended, hereinafter referred to as the "Custody Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them pursuant to the Custody Agreement.

WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Custody Agreement to add certain Funds, as parties to the Custody Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Schedule A of the Custody Agreement shall be amended as set forth in Exhibit I to this Amendment, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

2.Each party represents to the other that this Amendment has been duly executed.

3.Schedule A of the Custody Agreement, as amended by Exhibit I to this Amendment, shall become effective for each Fund as of the date of first service as listed in Exhibit I hereto upon execution by the parties hereto. From and after the execution hereof, any reference to the Custody Agreement shall be a reference to the Custody Agreement as amended hereby. Except as amended hereby, the Custody Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

4.The parties expressly agree that this Amendment shall terminate upon the effective date of the termination of the Custody Agreement.

5.The parties expressly agree that this Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts and expressly agree that such execution may occur by manual signature on a physically delivered copy of this Amendment, by a manual signature on a copy of this Amendment transmitted by facsimile transmission, by a manual signature on a copy of this Amendment transmitted as an imaged document attached to an email, or by "Electronic Signature", which is hereby defined to mean inserting an image, representation or symbol of a signature into an electronic copy of this Amendment by electronic, digital or other technological methods. Each counterpart executed in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed an original, with all such counterparts together constituting one and the same instrument. The exchange of executed counterparts of this Amendment or of executed signature pages to counterparts of this Amendment, in either case by facsimile transmission or as an imaged document attached to an email transmission, shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Amendment and may be used for all purposes in lieu of a manually executed and physically delivered copy of this Amendment.

6.If any provision of the Agreement including this Amendment is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, no other provision of the Agreement or this Amendment shall be affected, and all other provisions shall be enforced to the full extent of the law.

7.This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized officers and their seals to be hereunto affixed, all as of the Effective Date. An authorized representative, if executing this Amendment by Electronic Signature, affirms authorization to execute this Amendment by Electronic Signature and that the Electronic Signature represents an intent to enter into this Amendment and an agreement with its terms.
