Book Entries The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Book Entry Assets Investments which are represented by book-entry may be so held in an account maintained by the Book-Entry Agent on behalf of the Custodian, a Subcustodian or another agent of the Custodian, or a Securities Depository.
Domestic Subcustodians and Securities Depositories The Custodian may deposit and/or maintain, either directly or through one or more Agents appointed by the Custodian, Investments of the Fund in any Securities Depository in the United States, including The Depository Trust Company, provided such Depository meets applicable requirements of the Federal Reserve Bank or of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Custodian may, from time to time, appoint any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to act on behalf of the Fund as a Subcustodian for purposes of holding Investments of the Fund in the United States.
Foreign Subcustodians and Securities Depositories Unless instructed otherwise by the Fund, the Custodian may deposit and/or maintain non-U.S. Investments of the Fund in any non-U.S. Securities Depository provided such Securities Depository meets the requirements of an "eligible securities depository" under Rule 17f-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act, or any successor rule or regulation ("Rule 17f-7") or which by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission is exempted therefrom. Prior to the time that securities are placed with such depository, but subject to the provisions of Section 8.5 below, the Custodian shall have prepared an assessment of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with the Securities Depository and shall have established a system to monitor such risks on a continuing basis in accordance with Section 8.5. Additionally, the Custodian may, from time to time, appoint (a) any bank, trust company or other entity meeting the requirements of an “eligible foreign custodian” under Rule 17f-5 or which by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission is exempted therefrom, or (b) any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of the Fund as a Subcustodian for purposes of holding Investments of the Fund outside the United States.
Book-Entry Only System It is intended that the bonds of Series [⚫] be registered so as to participate in the securities depository system (the “DTC System”) with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as set forth herein. The bonds of Series [⚫] shall be initially issued in the form of a fully registered bond or bonds in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC. The Company and the Trustees are authorized to execute and deliver such letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System, including the Letter of Representations from the Company and the Trustees to DTC relating to the bonds of Series [⚫] (the “Representation Letter”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Representation Letter and the Mortgage, the terms of the Mortgage shall control. DTC may exercise the rights of a bondholder only in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to the exercise of such rights. With respect to bonds of Series [⚫] registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the Company and the Trustees shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds such bonds from time to time as securities depository (each such broker- dealer, bank or other financial institution being referred to herein as a “Depository Participant”) or to any person on behalf of whom such a Depository Participant holds an interest in such bonds (each such person being herein referred to as an “Indirect Participant”). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and the Trustees shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to: (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominee or any Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the bonds of Series [⚫], (ii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a bond of Series [⚫], of any notice with respect to the bonds of Series [⚫], including any notice of redemption, (iii) the payment to any Depository Participant or Indirect Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a bond of Series [⚫], of any amount with respect to principal of, redemption premium, if any, on, or interest on, the bonds of Series [⚫], or (iv) any consent given by DTC as registered owner. So long as certificates for the bonds of Series [⚫] are not issued as hereinafter provided, the Company and the Trustees may treat DTC or any successor securities depository as, and deem DTC or any successor securities depository to be, the absolute owner of such bonds for all purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, (1) the payment of principal and interest on such bonds, (2) giving notice of matters (including redemption) with respect to such bonds and (3) registering transfers with respect to such bonds. While a bond of Series [⚫] is in the DTC System, no person other than DTC or its nominee shall receive a certificate with respect to such bond. In the event that: (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (b) the Company determines that the beneficial owners of the bonds of Series [⚫] should be able to obtain certificated bonds and so notifies the Trustees in writing or (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing a completed default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be a completed default with respect to the bonds of Series [⚫], the bonds of Series [⚫] shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. In the case of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the Company may determine that the bonds of Series [⚫] shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a securities depository system, as may be acceptable to the Company and the Trustees, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the Company does not appoint a successor securities depository system within 90 days, then the bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of bonds transferring or exchanging such bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Mortgage to the contrary, so long as any bond of Series [⚫] is registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such bond and all notices with respect to such bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
