Collateral Duties. Bank shall have no custodial or ministerial duties to perform with respect to Collateral pledged except as set forth herein; and by way of explanation and not by way of limitation, Bank shall incur no liability for any of the following: (i) loss or depreciation of Collateral (unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence), (ii) failure to present any paper for payment or protest, to protest or give notice of nonpayment, or any other notice with respect to any paper or Collateral, (iii) failure to ascertain, notify Debtor of, or take any action in connection with any conversion, call, redemption, retirement or any other event relating to any of the Collateral, or failure to notify any party hereto that Collateral should be presented or surrendered for any such reason. Debtor acknowledges that Bank is not an investment advisor or insurer with respect to the Collateral; and Bank has no duty to advise Debtor of any actual or anticipated changes in the value of the Collateral. Bank's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of any certificate, passbook, or other documentation evidencing the Assigned Deposits in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as it deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Bank, nor any of its employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Assigned Deposits or for any delay in doing so.
