Banks BKB and the other lending institutions listed on Schedule 1 hereto and any other Person who becomes an assignee of any rights and obligations of a Bank pursuant to Section 19.
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks Each Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agent, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Branches of U.S. Banks (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Contract, the provisions hereof shall not apply where the custody of the Portfolios assets are maintained in a foreign branch of a banking institution which is a "bank" as defined by Section 2(a)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 meeting the qualification set forth in Section 26(a) of said Act. The appointment of any such branch as a sub-custodian shall be governed by paragraph 1 of this Contract. (b) Cash held for each Portfolio of the Fund in the United Kingdom shall be maintained in an interest bearing account established for the Fund with the Custodian's London branch, which account shall be subject to the direction of the Custodian, State Street London Ltd. or both.
BORROWERS The Available Securities may be loaned to any Borrower identified on the Schedule of Borrowers, as such Schedule may be modified from time to time by State Street and Client, including without limitation, the Capital Markets division of State Street; provided, however, if Available Securities are loaned to the Capital Markets division, in addition to being consistent with the terms hereof, said Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Securities Loan Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, as modified form time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof (hereinafter, the "State Street Securities Loan Agreement"). The form of the State Street Securities Loan Agreement may be modified by State Street from time to time, without the consent of the Client, in order to comply with the requirements of law or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over State Street, the Client or the securities lending program or in any other manner that is not material and adverse to the interests of the Client. Client acknowledges that it is aware that State Street, acting as "Lender's Agent" hereunder and thereunder, is or may be deemed to be the same legal entity as State Street acting as "Borrower" under the State Street Securities Loan Agreement, notwithstanding the different designations used herein and therein or the dual roles assumed by State Street hereunder and thereunder. Client represents that the power granted herein to State Street, as agent, to lend U.S. Securities owned by Client (including, in legal effect, the power granted to State Street to make Loans to itself) and the other powers granted to State Street, as agent herein, are given expressly for the purpose of averting and waiving any prohibitions upon such lending or other exercise of such powers which might exist in the absence of such powers, and that transactions effected pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement and the State Street Securities Loan Agreement will not constitute a breach of trust or other fiduciary duty by State Street. Client further acknowledges that it has granted State Street the power to effect securities lending transactions with the Capital Markets division of State Street and other powers assigned to State Street hereunder and under the Securities Loan Agreements and the State Street Securities Loan Agreement as a result of Client's desire to increase the opportunity for it to lend securities held in its account on fair and reasonable terms to qualified Borrowers without such loans being considered a breach of State Street's fiduciary duty. In connection therewith, each party hereby agrees that it shall furnish to the other party (i) the most recent available audited statement of its financial condition, and (ii) the most recent available unaudited statement of its financial condition, if more recent than the audited statement. As long as any Loan is outstanding under this Agreement, each party shall also promptly deliver to the other party all such financial information that is subsequently available, and any other financial information or statements that such other party may reasonably request. In the event any such Loan is made to the Capital Markets division, State Street hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Clients that it has adopted and implemented procedural safeguards to help ensure that all actions taken by it hereunder will be effected by individuals other than, and not under the supervision of, individuals who are acting in a capacity as Borrower thereunder, and that all trades effected hereunder will take place at the same fully negotiated "arms length" prices offered to similarly situated third parties by State Street when it acts as lending agent, notwithstanding the inherent conflict of interest with respect to Loans to be effected by State Street to the Capital Markets division.
