WHEREAS, on or about January 1, 2018, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. changed its name to DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc.; and

WHEREAS, Administrator, on behalf of each Trust, and Transfer Agent wish to amend the terms of the Agreement as outlined below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, undertakings, covenants and conditions set forth herein, the Transfer Agent and Administrator agree as follows:

1.1 Transfer Agency Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Administrator, on behalf of each Trust and the Portfolios, hereby employs and appoints the Transfer Agent to act as, and the Transfer Agent agrees to act as, its transfer agent for each Trust’s authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”), dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with any accumulation, open-account or similar plan provided to the shareholders of a Trust and of any Portfolios of a Trust (“Shareholders”) and described in the currently effective prospectus(es) and statement(s) of additional information of each Trust, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, including without limitation any periodic investment plan, dividend reinvestment plan or periodic withdrawal program. In accordance with (i) procedures established from time to time by agreement between the Transfer Agent and the Administrator (the “Procedures”), with such changes or deviations therefrom as have been (or may from time to time be) agreed upon in writing by the parties, and (ii) the service level standards and exceptions set forth in Schedule 1.1 (the “Service

Level Standards”), the Transfer Agent agrees that it will perform the following services:”

“(a) Other Customary Services. Perform certain customary services of a transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, service agent of certain retirement plans, and, as relevant, agent in connection with accumulation, open-account or similar plan (including without limitation any dividend reinvestment plan, periodic investment plan or periodic withdrawal program), including but not limited to: maintaining all Shareholder accounts; preparing Shareholder lists for meetings; providing print files to Administrator’s print vendor of choice for mailing of Shareholder reports and prospectuses and statements of additional information to current Shareholders; providing print files to Administrator’s print vendor of choice for delivery of prospectuses in conjunction with first dollar confirmations into a Portfolio by any investor, whether or not a current Shareholder; withholding taxes on U.S. resident and non-resident alien accounts; preparing and filing U.S. Treasury Department Forms 1099 and other appropriate forms required with respect to dividends and distributions by federal authorities for all Shareholders; providing print files to Administrator’s print vendor of choice for mailing confirmation forms and statements of account to Shareholders for all purchases and redemptions of Shares and other confirmable transactions in Shareholder accounts; providing print files to Administrator’s print vendor of choice for mailing activity statements for Shareholders; providing Shareholder account information; and receiving checks in the name of the Portfolios or the Trust and refusing checks that are in the name of the Administrator or PIMCO Investments, LLC (the “Distributor”), including the maintenance of a record through the automated work distributor system (“AWD”) containing pertinent details about any such checks. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transfer Agent does not accept securities on behalf of the Portfolios, the Trust, the Administrator or Distributor.”

“Cost of Living Adjustment. A Cost of Living increase will apply starting June 1, 2023 and apply annually for each succeeding year of this Agreement in an amount equal to the annual percentage of change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Midwest Statistical Area, All Items, Base 1982-1984=100, as last reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, or, in the event that publication of such Index is terminated, any successor or substitute index, appropriately adjusted, acceptable to both parties. In the event this Agreement was not signed as of the first day of the month, the fees and charges increase shall be effective as of the first day of the month immediately following the month during which the anniversary occurred and will be communicated to the Administrator in advance of the effective date. For clarification, if the change in the CPI-U is either zero or negative for the applicable period, the fees and charges for the succeeding calendar year will not decrease. Any Cost of Living increase shall be capped at a maximum rate of five percent (5%) per year.”

“Section 10.6. In the event the Administrator or a Trust obtains information from Transfer Agent or the TA2000 System which is clearly not intended for the Administrator or a Trust (“Unintended Information”), the Administrator agrees to: (i) promptly notify Transfer Agent after reaching an affirmative determination that such Information made available to the Administrator or a Trust constitutes or includes Unintended Information; (ii) not further review, disclose, release, or in any way use such Unintended Information; (iii) to the best of its ability, and subject to the requirements of applicable law or regulatory authority, provide Transfer Agent assistance to retrieve and/or destroy such Unintended Information; and (iv) deliver to Transfer Agent a certificate executed by an authorized officer of the Administrator certifying that all such unauthorized information in the Administrator’s possession or control has been delivered to Transfer Agent or destroyed as required by this provision.”

11.4 Compliance Program. The Transfer Agent maintains and will continue to maintain a comprehensive compliance program reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to its compliance program, the Transfer Agent will provide periodic measurement reports to each Trust and its Chief Compliance Officer. Upon request of the Administrator, the Transfer Agent will provide to the Administrator in connection with any periodic annual or semi-annual shareholder report filed by a Trust or, in the absence of the filing of such reports, on a quarterly basis, a sub-certification pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrator on behalf of each Trust with respect to the Transfer Agent’s performance of the services set forth in this Agreement and its internal controls related thereto. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Transfer Agent will provide to the Administrator on behalf of each Trust a certification in a form reasonably acceptable to such Trust in connection with its compliance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. On a quarterly basis, the Transfer agent will provide to the Administrator on behalf of each Trust a certification in a mutually agreed upon format in connection with DST’s performance of the SVI Review Services. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to amend and update its compliance program and the measurement tools and certifications provided thereunder from time to time in order to address changing regulatory and industry developments, and will promptly notify the Administrator of any such changes.

“Effective May 15, 2020, the “Initial Term” shall be May 15, 2020 to May 14, 2027 unless terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 or Schedule 1.1.”

“The Transfer Agent may, without further consent on the part of the Administrator, subcontract for the performance hereof with an affiliate of the Transfer Agent. Notwithstanding the above, in the event any subcontracted functions require a duly registered transfer agent, such affiliate will be duly registered as a transfer agent pursuant to Section 17A(c)(2) of the 1934 Act and have the financial capacity and resources to provide the level of services required of the Transfer Agent hereunder. The Transfer Agent shall be fully responsible to the Administrator for the acts and omissions of its affiliate (and for any other agent or subcontractor selected and used by the Transfer Agent to provide services required hereunder) as it is for its own acts and omissions. The foregoing shall not be deemed to apply to any direct contracts between the Administrator and any affiliate of the Transfer Agent as to which the Transfer Agent is not a party. The Transfer Agent may provide the services hereunder from service locations within or outside of the United States subject to applicable law and regulations without the consent of the Administrator or a Trust, provided, however, if any service is to be provided from outside of the United States, the Transfer Agent shall provide written notification to the Administrator in advance.”

“(r) Except with respect to any entities excluded under applicable regulation: (i) take reasonable steps to verify the identity of legal entities seeking to become new customers of the Trusts, including verifying the identity of the natural person(s) retaining ownership or controlling interest in such legal entity (the “ Beneficial Owner(s)”), as such ownership and controlling interests are defined in 31 C.F.R. 1010.230, (ii) notify the Trusts in the event that the identity of such Beneficial Owner(s) is not provided upon request to such entity or cannot be verified, (iii) maintain records of the information used to verify such Beneficial Owners, as required, and (iv) determine whether such persons appear on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided to the Trusts by any government agency.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers, to be effective as of the day and year first above written.

Average Speed of

Answer

Each quarter, 80% of overall calls will be answered within 20 seconds during applicable hours.

If after a span of three consecutive quarters Transfer Agent is not able to meet the same respective Service Level Standard provided above, the Transfer Agent will be provided a 90-day time period to successfully maintain the provided targets (the “Remediation Period”). If at the conclusion of the Remediation Period the Transfer Agent fails to meet the targets provided above during the Remediation Period, then the Administrator may terminate the Agreement without penalty upon written notice to Transfer Agent within 30 days.

SERVICE LEVEL EXCEPTIONS

Performance with respect to a Service Level shall not be calculated for any period or portion of a period where the Transfer Agent is unable to achieve a Service Level as a result of any of the following:

1. Failure or unavailability of communication lines outside of the Transfer Agent’s facilities.

2. Failure or unavailability of any system, which is substantially required for the performance of the Services, provided that the Transfer Agent has adopted and implemented a program reasonably designed to prevent such failures or unavailability.

3. Failure by a third party outside of the Transfer Agent’s control (and whose performance is a prerequisite for the Transfer Agent’s performance) to perform properly or in a timely manner. Third parties over which the Transfer Agent exerts control (and whose performance is a prerequisite for the Transfer Agent’s performance) will not be included in this exception.

4. A pre-planned, extraordinary event that the Administrator was informed about in advance.

5. A failure in equipment controlled in whole or in part by the Administrator or an agent of the Administrator.

6. With respect to telephone related service levels, a call volume of fewer than fifty (50) overall calls per day resulting in a statistically unreliable sample for measurement.

7. An unexpected increase in volume that is more than 15% higher than the previous twelve (12) week average.

8. A disaster which requires the Transfer Agent to process at its disaster recovery facility or when the Transfer Agent’s transaction processing is impeded by a Force Majeure event.
