   2. (a)   The Administrator shall perform (or arrange for the performance by its affiliates of) all of certain administrative services to be performed on behalf of the Portfolio, provided that such services shall not include any services described in paragraphs 1(a), 1(b), or 1(c) of the Management Contract (the “Management Contract”) between the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and Geode Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”).

             (b)  Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator shall, subject to the supervision of the Adviser, perform (or arrange for the performance by its affiliates of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of the Portfolio, which services shall include, but not be limited to:

(i)  providing the Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization;

The Administrator shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Fund or the Adviser as the Fund’s Board of Trustees or the Adviser may request from time to time or as the Administrator may deem to be desirable. The Administrator shall, subject to review by the Adviser and the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Administrator shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)  The Administrator shall (either itself or through an affiliate) pay the salaries and fees of all Trustees and officers of the Fund and Portfolio who are “interested persons” of the Fund or the Administrator, other than employees of the Adviser. The Administrator (either itself or through an affiliate) also undertakes to pay, or provide for the payment of, all expenses involved in the operation of the Portfolio, including all expenses allocable at the Portfolio level, except the following: (i) transfer agent fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other expenses allocable at the class level; (ii) interest and taxes; (iii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iv) fees and expenses of the Fund’s Trustees other than those who are “interested persons” of the Fund or of the Adviser; (v) custodian fees and expenses; (vi) expenses of printing and mailing proxy materials to shareholders of the Portfolio; (vii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio’s shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; and (viii) such non-recurring and/or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Fund’s Trustees and officers with respect thereto.  It is understood that service charges billed directly to shareholders of the Portfolio, including charges for exchanges, redemptions, or other services, shall not be payable by the Administrator, but may be received and retained by the Administrator or its affiliates. It is also understood that the Administrator and/or the Portfolio may, from time to time, allocate or reallocate expenses between the Portfolio and any class of the Portfolio.   

3.  It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Administrator as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Administrator are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Administrator may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.

4.  The Portfolio shall not pay the Administrator a fee for the services rendered hereunder.

  

5.  The services of the Administrator to the Portfolio are not to be deemed exclusive, the Administrator being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere in a material manner with the Administrator’s ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder.  In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Administrator, the Administrator shall not be subject to liability to the Adviser, the Portfolio or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or other investment instrument.

 6. (a)  Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph 6, this Agreement shall continue in force until September 30, 2017 and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.

(b)  This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission.

 (c)  In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to the Agreement, the Management Contract or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

 (d)  Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other, terminate this Agreement without payment of any penalty.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement, the Management Contract or interested persons of any such party, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment or upon termination of the Management Contract.


7.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

8.  The terms “vote of a majority of outstanding voting securities,” “assignment,” and “interested persons,” when used herein, shall have the meanings specified in the 1940 Act and rules thereunder, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, and subject to such orders or no-action letters as may be granted by the Commission or its staff.
