WHEREAS, the Funds, on behalf of each of their respective Portfolios, and HASCO are parties to that certain Transfer Agency and Services Agreement, dated November 1, 2017, as amended from time to time, pursuant to which the Funds appointed HASCO as transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent with respect to other services (the “Prior Agreement”);

WHEREAS, HASCO desires to employ a sub-agent with respect to certain duties and activities as set forth in this Agreement, and the Funds, on behalf of each of their respective Portfolios, acknowledge and agree to the sub-agent structure as further described herein.

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

1. APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES OF HASCO; APPOINTMENT OF SUB-AGENT

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Funds, on behalf of each of their respective Portfolios, hereby employ and appoint HASCO to act as, and HASCO agrees to act as, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent, in connection with accounts maintained on behalf of shareholders holding Shares of one or more of the Portfolios as set out in the Funds’ currently effective registration statements.

The Funds, on behalf of each of their respective Portfolios, hereby acknowledge and agree that HASCO may employ and appoint one or more affiliated or unaffiliated service providers (each, a “Sub-Agent” or collectively, the “Sub-Agents,” as the context requires) to perform or provide certain of the services described in Section 1.2 of this Agreement. In no event, however, will the appointment of one or more Sub-Agents affect the obligations of HASCO under this Agreement. To the extent any service is delegated to the Sub-Agent, HASCO shall remain responsible to the Funds under this Agreement for the delivery of that service by the Sub-Agent, and for oversight of Sub-Agent in the performance of the service. HASCO has initially designated the entities listed on Schedule A as Sub-Agents; however, HASCO may designate different or additional Sub-Agents from time to time at its sole discretion. In such circumstances, HASCO shall provide notice to the Boards of Directors of the Funds (collectively, the “Board”) and amend Schedule A and Schedule B to the extent necessary. In addition, HASCO shall provide to the Board such information regarding any Sub-Agent and the services the Sub-Agent provides as may be reasonably requested by the Board.

1.2 HASCO agrees that it will perform the following services:

(a) In accordance with procedures as may be established from time to time by agreement between the parties, HASCO shall:

(i) Establish each Shareholder account in the Funds on the HASCO’s recordkeeping system and maintain such account for the benefit of such Shareholder;

(ii) Receive for acceptance, orders for the purchase of Shares, and promptly deliver payment and appropriate documentation thereof to the bank designated as the custodian of the Funds responsible for the custody of Portfolios’ assets (the “Custodian”);

(iii) Pursuant to purchase orders, issue the appropriate number of Shares and hold such Shares in the appropriate Shareholder accounts;

(iv) Receive for acceptance redemption requests and redemption directions and deliver the appropriate documentation thereof to the Custodian;

(v) In respect to the transactions in items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, HASCO is authorized to accept purchase orders and redemption requests from broker-dealers authorized by the Funds and from investors;

(vi) At the appropriate time as and when it receives monies paid to it by the Custodian with respect to any redemption, pay over or cause to be paid over in the manner requested such monies to the redeeming Shareholders;

(viii) Prepare and transmit payments for dividends and distributions declared by the Funds on behalf of each Portfolio; and effect (as requested by Shareholders) the reinvestment thereof;

(ix) Maintain Shareholder account records and advise the Funds and their Shareholders as to the foregoing;

(x) Record the issuance of Shares of the Funds and maintain pursuant to SEC Rule 17Ad-10(e) a record of the total number of Shares that are authorized, issued and outstanding. HASCO shall also provide the Funds on a regular basis with the total number of Shares that are authorized, issued and outstanding and shall have no obligation, when recording the issuance of Shares, to be responsible for any laws relating to the issue or sale of such Shares, which function shall be the sole responsibility of the Funds;

(xi) Upon instruction from the principal underwriter of the Funds, deduct applicable front end sales charges from purchase payments and applicable deferred sales charges from redemption payments and remit them to the appropriate party;

(xii) Upon instruction from the principal underwriter of the Funds, deduct applicable 12b-1 fees from the Funds pursuant to any 12b-1 Plan approved by the Board and remit them on behalf of the principal underwriter and the Funds to the appropriate party;

(xvi) Process and respond to all Shareholder ad hoc correspondence and complaints (via email and post); and

(xvii) Maintain and operate a contact center for intake and processing of Shareholder and financial advisor inquiries, orders and requests and resolve problems.

(b) In addition to the services set forth in paragraph (a), HASCO shall (i) perform the customary services of a transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and, as relevant, agent in connection with accumulation, open-account or other similar plans (including without limitation any periodic investment plan or periodic withdrawal program), including but not limited to: maintaining Shareholder accounts, preparing Shareholder meeting lists, mailing proxies, mailing Shareholder reports, prospectuses, and (upon request) statements of additional information to current Shareholders, 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, preparing and mailing confirmation forms and statements of account to Shareholders for purchases and redemptions of Shares and other confirmable transactions in Shareholder accounts (as are required by law), preparing and mailing activity statements for Shareholders, and providing Shareholder account information, and (ii) provide a system which will enable the Funds to monitor the total shares sold in each state.

(c) The appropriate officers of the Funds shall (i) identify to HASCO in writing those transactions and assets to be treated as exempt from blue sky reporting for each State and (ii) verify the establishment of transactions for each State on the system prior to activation and thereafter monitor the daily activity for each State.

(d) HASCO may, in its discretion and without further consent on the part of the Funds, designate a financial intermediary, such as (by way of example and not limitation) a broker-dealer, bank or trust company, retirement plan recordkeeper, or third party plan administrator (each, a “Financial Intermediary” or collectively, the “Financial Intermediaries,” as the context requires), to provide sub-transfer agency, sub-accounting, recordkeeping and/or other shareholder services, as the case may be (collectively, “Financial Intermediary Services”) to accountholders who beneficially own Shares that are held by the Financial Intermediary for the benefit of such accountholders, provided that HASCO shall be as fully responsible to the Funds for the acts and omissions of any such Financial Intermediary to the same extent as HASCO would be for its own acts and omissions. For the avoidance of doubt, the term Sub-Agents shall not include Financial Intermediaries.

-4-

(e) HASCO shall provide additional services on behalf of the Funds (e.g., escheatment services) which may be agreed upon in writing between the Funds and HASCO.

(f) HASCO shall provide all services necessary to monitor shareholder activity in the Funds in order to detect and prevent market timing and excessive trading in shares of the Funds as described in the Policies and Procedures Relating to Market Timing and Excessive Trading in Shares of the Funds, as such may be amended by the Board from time to time.

(g) HASCO will ensure Financial Intermediaries appointed or contracted by HASCO to perform Financial Intermediary Services shall agree (i) to provide HASCO with information regarding trading in Fund Shares by participant accounts sufficient to enable HASCO to enforce the market timing policy set forth in the Funds' prospectus; and (ii) to the extent required by Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to execute HASCO's instructions to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Fund shares by a specific participant who has violated the Funds' policy.

(h) HASCO hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Funds’ anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance program, and HASCO agrees to implement the requirements of the AML compliance program with respect to purchases of the Funds' shares. In accordance with mutually-agreed procedures, HASCO shall use its best efforts in carrying out such agreed functions consistent with the requirements of the Funds' AML program. The Funds acknowledge that their Shareholders are customers of the Funds and not customers of HASCO and the Funds retain legal responsibility under the USA PATRIOT Act for AML compliance with respect to transactions in their Shares. HASCO agrees to cooperate with any request from examiners of United States Government agencies having jurisdiction over the Funds for information and records relating to the Funds' AML program and consents to inspection by such examiners for this purpose.

(i) As defined under Regulation S-P adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the term “Nonpublic Personal Information” includes (1) all personally identifiable financial information; (2) any list, description, or other grouping of consumers (and publicly available information pertaining to them) that is derived using any personally identifiable financial information that is not publicly available information; and (3) any information derived therefrom. HASCO must not use or disclose Nonpublic Personal Information for any purpose other than to carry out the purpose for which Nonpublic Personal Information was provided to HASCO as set forth in this Agreement, and agrees to cause its employees, agents, representatives, or any other party to whom HASCO may provide access to or disclose Nonpublic Personal Information to limit the use and disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information to that purpose. HASCO agrees to implement appropriate measures designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of Nonpublic Personal Information, to protect such information against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, and to protect against unauthorized access to, or use of, Nonpublic Personal Information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer of the Funds. HASCO further agrees to cause all its agents, representatives, subcontractors, or any other party to whom HASCO may provide access to, or disclose, Nonpublic Personal Information to implement appropriate measures designed to meet the objectives set forth in this paragraph.

(j) With respect only to the provisions of this Section, HASCO agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Funds and any of the Funds’ directors or officers (“Indemnified Persons”), against losses, claims, damages, expenses, or liabilities to which the Funds, or any Indemnified Persons, may become subject as the result of (1) a material breach of the provisions of this section of the Agreement or (2) any acts or omissions of HASCO, or of any of HASCO’s officers, directors, employees, representatives, subcontractors or agents that are not in accordance with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any violation of any federal statute or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section if such loss, claim, damage, expense, or liability is due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty by the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification.

(k) HASCO and its affiliates shall develop and implement procedures for the appointment and oversight of Financial Intermediaries to perform Financial Intermediary Services and shall periodically, but no less than annually, report to the Board regarding HASCO’s oversight of, and payments to, Financial Intermediaries.

(l) HASCO will arrange for the provision of standard documentation for certain retirement accounts for Shareholders (such as individual retirement accounts or IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SEP IRAs, and Roth IRAs), 403(b) and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts), as well as provide or arrange for the provision of various custodial and administrative services.

(a) All actions of HASCO or its agents or subcontractors required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such actions are taken in good faith and without negligence or willful misconduct;

(b) Lack of good faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Funds or the breach of any representation or warranty of the Funds hereunder;

(c) The reliance on or use by HASCO or its agents or subcontractors of information, records, documents or services which (i) are received by HASCO or its agents or subcontractors, and (ii) have been prepared, maintained or performed by the Funds or any other person or firm on behalf of the Funds;

6.2 At any time HASCO may apply to any officer of the Funds for instructions, and may consult with legal counsel to the Funds with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by HASCO under this Agreement, and HASCO and any Sub-Agent shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Funds on behalf of the applicable Portfolio for any action taken or omitted by it in reliance upon such instructions or upon the opinion of such counsel. HASCO and the Sub-Agents shall be protected and indemnified in acting upon any paper or document furnished by or on behalf of the Funds, reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons, or upon any instruction, information, data, records or documents provided HASCO and the Sub-Agents by machine readable input, telex, CRT data entry or other similar means authorized by the Funds, and shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person, until receipt of written notice thereof from the Funds.

6.4 In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes, equipment or transmission failure or damage reasonably beyond its control, or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable for damages to the other for any damages resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes. Notwithstanding the above, HASCO shall not be excused from liability in the event any telecommunications, power or equipment (of HASCO, its agents or subcontractors) failures could have been avoided or minimized by such parties having maintained adequate industry standard backup systems or plan and a disaster recovery plan.

-11-

6.5 In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 6 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which the Funds may be required to indemnify HASCO, HASCO shall promptly notify the Funds of such assertion, and shall keep the Funds advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The Funds shall have the option to participate with HASCO in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of HASCO. HASCO shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Funds may be required to indemnify HASCO except with the Funds’ prior written consent. For clarity, to the extent any obligation to provide indemnity under this Section 6 arises in respect of a Portfolio or Portfolios, the obligation so to indemnify shall be the obligation only of such Portfolio or Portfolios, and of no other Portfolio.

7. STANDARD OF CARE

HASCO shall at all times act in good faith, and agrees to use due care and its best efforts within reasonable limits to insure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors unless said errors are caused by its negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its employees, the Sub-Agents, or Financial Intermediaries.
