The appointment of any agent pursuant to this Section 3 shall not relieve Custodian of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a Federal Reserve Bank maintaining a book-entry system, The Depository Trust Company and any other clearing corporation or agency (a \u201cSecurities Depository\u201d) which it is or may become standard market practice to use for the comparison and settlement of trades in securities or other assets shall not be Subcustodians, agents or sub-contractors of Custodian for purposes of this Section 3 or otherwise. Additionally, any cash held in respect of those markets where Customer is required to have a cash account in its own name held directly with the relevant Subcustodian or Securities Depository will be held in that manner and not part of the Cash Account\n(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law or generally accepted market practice, Custodian will require each SubCustodian to identify in its own books that Financial Assets held at such Subcustodian by Custodian on behalf of its customers belong to Customers of Custodian, such that it is readily apparent that the Financial Assets do not belong to the Custodian or the SubCustodian. Custodian will exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence in the selection of any such Subcustodian and maintain an appropriate level of supervision over such Subcustodian and will make appropriate inquiries periodically to confirm that the obligations of such Subcustodian continue to be competently discharged. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Custodian will be liable only for direct loss or damage (subject to the limitations in Section 15 below) arising out of: (i) the failure by a Subcustodian to use reasonable care in the provision of custodial services by it in accordance with the standards prevailing in the relevant market or from the fraud or wilful misconduct of such Subcustodian in the provision of custodial services by it; or (ii) the insolvency of any affiliated Subcustodian.\n(c) Subject to Section 3 (b) and Custodian\u2019s duty to use reasonable care in the monitoring of a Subcustodian\u2019s financial condition as reflected in its published financial statements and other publicly available financial information concerning it customarily reviewed by Custodian in its oversight process, Custodian will not be responsible for any losses (whether direct or indirect) incurred by Customer that result from the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or an affiliated Subcustodian.\n(d) Custodian reserves the right to add, replace or remove Subcustodians. Custodian will give prompt notice of any such action, which will be advance notice if practicable. Upon request by Customer, Custodian will identify the name, address and principal place of business of any Subcustodian and the name and address of the governmental agency or other regulatory authority that supervises or regulates such Subcustodian.\n(e) Custodian may deposit Securities with, and hold Securities in any Securities Depository on such terms as such Securities Depository customarily operates and Customer will provide Custodian with such documentation or acknowledgements that Custodian may require to hold the Financial Assets in such Securities Depository. Any agreement Custodian enters into with a Subcustodian for holding Custodian\u2019s customers\u2019 assets will provide that such assets will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of such Subcustodian or its creditors except a claim for payment for their safe custody or administration, or, in the case of cash deposits, except for liens or rights in favor of creditors of the Subcustodian arising under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, and that the beneficial ownership thereof will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration. Custodian shall be responsible for all claims for payment of fees for safe custody or administration so that no Subcustodian exercises any claim for such payment against Customer\u2019s assets. Where a Subcustodian deposits Securities with a Securities Depository, Custodian will cause the Subcustodian to identify on its records as belonging to Custodian, as agent, the Securities shown on the Subcustodian\u2019s account at such Securities Depository. This Section 3 (e) will not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by Customer with any particular Subcustodian.\n(f) Custodian is not responsible for the selection or monitoring of any Securities Depository and will not be liable for any act or omission by (or the insolvency of) any Securities Depository. In the event Customer incurs a loss due to the negligence, willful default, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, Custodian will make reasonable efforts, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but Custodian will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action. With respect to foreign Securities Depositories, Custodian shall exercise reasonable care, prudence, and diligence (i) to provide the Customer with an analysis of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with the foreign Securities Depository in advance of any transfer of assets to such foreign Securities Depository, to the extent reasonably practical under the circumstances, and (ii) to monitor such custody risks on a continuing basis and promptly notify the Customer or its investment adviser, if so directed by the Customer, of any material change in such risks.\n(g) Custodian may use third party delivery services and providers of information regarding matters such as pricing, proxy voting, credit rating, corporate actions and class action litigation and use local agents to provide extraordinary services such as attendance at annual meetings of issuers of securities. Although Custodian will use reasonable care in the selection and retention of such third party providers and local agents, it will not be responsible for any errors or omissions made by them in

Any Written Instruction or other communication through the Electronic Services by an Agent shall be deemed that of the Fund, and the Fund shall be bound thereby whether or not authorized. The Fund may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and upon advance written notice to the Bank, provide a copy of the Electronic Service user manuals to its Agent if the Agent requires such copies to use the Electronic Services on the Fund\u2019s behalf. Upon cessation of any such Agent's services, the Fund shall promptly terminate such Agent\u2019s access to the Electronic Services, retrieve from the Agent any copies of the manuals and destroy them,
