Each of the undersigned Trustees (each, a “Principal,” and collectively, the “Principals”) hereby
severally from each other constitutes and appoints each of Jane E. Trust, Christopher Berarducci, Marc A. De Oliveira, Thomas C. Mandia, Rosemary D. Emmens, Tara E. Gormel, Todd Lebo, Stephen Aspromonte and Bryan Sutherland (each, an
“Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”), as his or her true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority of
substitution and resubstitution, to do separately or jointly any and all acts and things and to execute any and all instruments which said Agents, or any of them, may deem necessary or advisable or which may be required to enable each trust listed
in Schedule A hereto (each a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (collectively, the “Acts”), and
any rules, regulations or requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect thereof, in connection with the filing and effectiveness of any and all amendments (including post-effective amendments) to the registration statement of
each Trust specified in Schedule A hereto, including specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the power and authority to sign in the name and on behalf of such Principal in his or her capacity as a Trustee of such Trust, any and all
such amendments and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Acts, and any other instruments or documents related thereto, and each Principal; does hereby ratify and confirm all that the Agents, or any of
them, shall do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
All past acts of the Agents in furtherance of the foregoing are
hereby ratified and confirmed.
This Power of Attorney may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but which taken together shall constitute one instrument.
Revocation of this Power of Attorney by a
Principal will not have the effect of a revocation of this Power of Attorney by any other Principal. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Power of Attorney is invalid under applicable law, such
provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Power of Attorney. Each Principal acknowledges that each Agent, in serving in such capacity at such Principal’s
request, is not assuming, nor is any Trust assuming, any of such Principal’s responsibilities to comply with the Acts.
