Common use of By Custodian Clause in Contracts

By Custodian. If Fund Shares cannot be purchased by the Custodian for more than 120 days, and the Sponsor fails to substitute shares, the Custodian may select another investment medium which it deems to be comparable to the Fund Shares and, to the extent required, subject to prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent required by the 1940 Act. The Custodian shall notify each Planholder in writing that the substitution will be made if the Planholder, within 30 days, gives written consent to the Custodian and agrees to bear his or her reasonable pro-rata share of the Custodian's related expenses, including tax liability sustained by the Custodian. The Planholder's failure to give such written consent within the 30 day period shall give the Custodian authority to terminate the Plan Account. If the Fund Shares are not available for purchase for a period of 120 days or longer, and neither the Sponsor nor the Custodian substitutes other shares, the Custodian shall have the authority, without further action on its part, to terminate the Plan.
