AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT

This Amendment (the “Amendment”) is to the MASTER CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT, dated November 17, 2008, as amended (the “Agreement”), between each Registered Investment Company identified on Appendix A thereto (as may be amended and supplemented from time to time) (each the “Fund” and collectively the “Funds” ) and STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, a Massachusetts trust company with offices located at One Congress Street, Boston, MA 02114 (“Custodian”) (Custodian and Fund are each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”). This Amendment is effective as of March 20, 2024 (the “Amendment Effective Date”) and is attached to and made a part of the Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Custodian and each Fund, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Amendments. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 32 of Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 32.

INFORMATION SECURITY

32.1

Annually, upon Fund's reasonable request, Custodian shall provide Fund's Chief Information Security Officer or his or her designee with a copy of Custodian's corporate information security controls that form the basis for Custodian's corporate information security policy.

32.2

Custodian acknowledges receipt of Fund's Information Security Requirements for Third Parties of Deutsche Bank, Version 3.0 (the “DB ISRV”) and DWS Third Party Security Standard, Version 1.7 (the “DWS TPSS”). Custodian agrees to provide Fund's Information Security Department with a copy of Custodian's corporate information security controls, a completed Standardized Information Gathering (SIG) questionnaire, and Custodian’s Global Information Security (GIS) SOC 2 (Type II) report.in order to facilitate a comparative analysis by Fund of such controls against the DB ISRV and the DWS TPSS and allow for a discussion between Fund and a qualified member of Custodian's Information Technology Management team of Custodian's information security controls and policies. In addition, Custodian acknowledges and agrees that Fund (in conjunction with any other affiliated entities of Fund serviced by Custodian and/or its affiliates) shall be permitted to: (i) upon prior notice to Custodian, perform a single, coordinated, annual onsite information security review on the premises of Custodian and/or one or more of its affiliates; (ii) request and review Custodian's information regarding Custodian's corporate information security controls solely while on such premises during such information security audit; and (iii) reasonably request and receive supplemental information or evidence from Custodian while on such premises for the purpose of evaluating Custodian's information security controls. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall entitle Fund to any information that Custodian deems proprietary or confidential to Custodian or its clients, contrary to its corporate policies or that would otherwise, in Custodian's opinion, compromise the security of its business, network, facilities or systems. Custodian's corporate information security program will

contain administrative technical and physical safeguards, appropriate to the type of information concerned, designed to: (i) protect the security and confidentiality of such information; (ii) protect against material anticipated threats or hazards to the security of such information; (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in harm or inconvenience to Fund, and (iv) appropriately dispose of such information.

32.3

Custodian shall maintain its corporate information security policy in a manner that satisfies the requirements set forth above; provided, however, that Custodian reserves the right to make changes to its corporate information security controls at any time in a manner that does not materially reduce the protection it applies to Fund's information. In the event that Custodian makes a change to its corporate information security controls that Custodian believes materially reduces the protection it applies to Fund's information, Custodian will promptly notify Fund in writing.”

The following is hereby added as Section 33 of the Agreement:

Section 33.

OPEN SOURCE

Custodian acknowledges and agrees that it shall adhere to and comply with the terms of all licenses for open-source software as defined by the Open Source Initiative (http://opensource.org) or the Free Software Foundation (http://www.fsf.org) (“Open Source Software”) that it uses to provide the Services to Fund or that it incorporates or embeds into any software or system that it uses to provide the Services to Fund or that Fund accesses to receive the Services. Any such Open Source Software shall be a part of Custodian’s corporate information security program as further described in Section 32.”
