2.1	Set Up Accounts


(a)	Bank will establish and maintain the following accounts (“Accounts”):

	(i)	a Securities Account in the name of Customer for Financial Assets, which may be received by or on behalf of Bank or its Subcustodian for the account of Customer, including as an Entitlement Holder; and

	(ii)	a separate account in the name of Customer (“Cash Account”) for any and all cash in any currency received by or on behalf of Bank for the account of Customer.

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

Notwithstanding paragraph (ii), cash held in respect of those markets where Customer is required by Applicable Law to have a cash account in its own name held directly with the relevant Subcustodian or a Securities Depository will be held in that manner and will not be part of the Cash Account.


	(b)	At the request of Customer, additional Accounts may be opened in the future, which will be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Cash Account

Except as otherwise provided in Instructions acceptable to Bank, all cash held in the Cash Account will be deposited during the period it is credited to the Accounts in one or more deposit accounts at Bank or at Bank’s London Branch. Any cash so deposited with Bank’s London Branch will be payable exclusively by Bank’s London Branch in the applicable currency, subject to compliance with Applicable Law, including, without limitation, any restrictions on transactions in the applicable currency imposed by the country of the applicable currency.

2.3 Segregation of Assets; Nominee Name

(a) Bank will identify in its records that Financial Assets credited to Customer’s Securities Account belong to Customer (except as otherwise may be agreed by Bank and Customer).

(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law or market practice, Bank will require each Subcustodian to identify in its own records that Financial Assets held at such Subcustodian by Bank on behalf of its customers belong to customers of Bank, such that it is readily apparent that the Financial Assets do not belong to Bank or the Subcustodian.


		(i)	to hold in bearer form, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in bearer form or are delivered to Bank or its Subcustodian in bearer form;

		(ii)	to hold Securities in or deposit Securities with any Securities Depositary, settlement system or dematerialized book entry or similar systems; and

		(iii)	to register in the name of Customer, Bank, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository, or their respective nominees, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in registered form.

(d) Bank is authorized, when directed to do so by Customer, to hold Financial Assets at third parties and to register Financial Assets in broker “street name” or in the name of other third parties (or their nominees). Notwithstanding Section 7.1, Bank shall have no liability for any loss of Financial Assets or other damages resulting from holding or registering Financial Assets as instructed by the Customer.

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

Customer authorizes Bank or its Subcustodian to hold Financial Assets in omnibus accounts and will accept delivery of Financial Assets of the same class and denomination as those with Bank or its Subcustodian.


2.4	Settlement of Trades.

When Bank receives an Instruction directing settlement of a transaction in Financial Assets that includes all information required by Bank, Bank will use reasonable care to effect such settlement as instructed. Settlement of transactions in Financial Assets will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the risk of loss will be Customer’s whenever Bank delivers Financial Assets or payment in accordance with applicable market practice in advance of receipt or settlement of the expected consideration. In the case of the failure of Customer’s counterparty (or other appropriate party) to deliver the expected consideration as agreed, Bank will contact the counterparty to seek settlement, but Bank will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.


2.5	Contractual Settlement Date Accounting.

(a) Bank will effect book entries on a “contractual settlement date accounting” basis as described below with respect to the settlement of trades in those markets where Bank generally offers contractual settlement date accounting and will notify Customer of those markets from time to time.


	(i)	Sales: On the settlement date for a sale, Bank will credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale and transfer the relevant Financial Assets to an account at the Bank pending settlement of the trade where not already delivered.

	(ii)	Purchases: On the settlement date for the purchase (or earlier, if market practice requires delivery of the purchase price before the settlement date), Bank will debit the Cash Account for the settlement amount and credit a separate account at the Bank. Bank then will post the Securities Account as awaiting receipt of the expected Financial Assets. Customer will not be entitled to the Financial Assets that are awaiting receipt until Bank or a Subcustodian actually receives them.

Bank reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of contractual settlement date accounting for credit or operational reasons.

(b) Bank may (in its absolute discretion) upon oral or written notification to Customer reverse any debit or credit made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a transaction’s actual settlement, and Customer will be responsible for any costs or liabilities resulting from such reversal unless such costs were incurred as a result of the Bank’s negligence. Customer acknowledges that the procedures described in this sub-section are of an administrative nature, and Bank does not undertake to make loans and/or Financial Assets available to Customer.

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


2.6	Actual Settlement Date Accounting.

With respect to any sale or purchase transaction that is not posted to the Account on the contractual settlement date as referred to in Section 2.5, Bank will post the transaction on the date on which the cash or Financial Assets received as consideration for the transaction is actually received by Bank.


2.7	Income Collection (Autocredit®).

(a) Bank will credit the Cash Account with income and redemption proceeds on Financial Assets in accordance with the times notified by Bank from time to time on or after the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by Bank or any third party. Where no time is specified for a particular market, income and redemption proceeds from Financial Assets will be credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation. Bank may reverse such credits upon oral or written notification to Customer that Bank believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by Bank within a reasonable period or such credit was incorrect.

(b) Bank will make good faith efforts in its discretion to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds, but neither Bank nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to file any formal notice of default, institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.


2.8	Certain Ministerial Acts.

Unless Bank receives Instructions to the contrary, Bank will:


	(a)	present all Financial Assets for which Bank has received notice of a call for redemption or that have otherwise matured, and all income and interest coupons and other income items that call for payment upon presentation;

	(b)	execute in the name of Customer such certificates as may be required to obtain payment in respect of Financial Assets;

	(c)	exchange interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title;

	(d)	provide information concerning the Accounts to Subcustodians, Securities Depositories, counterparties, issuers of Financial Assets, governmental entities, securities exchanges, self-regulatory entities, and similar entities to the extent required by Applicable Law or as may be required in the ordinary course by market practice or otherwise in order to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement; and

	(e)	in general, attend to all non-discretionary details in connection with the custody, sale, purchase, transfer and other dealings with Financial Assets except when Bank, in accordance with Bank’s written procedures, requires

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


		an Instruction from Customer.


2.9	Corporate Actions.

(a) Bank will promptly notify Customer of any Corporate Action of which information is either (i) received by it or a Subcustodian to the extent that Bank’s central corporate actions department receives notice of the Corporate Action in time to notify its customers in a timely manner; or (ii) published via a formal notice in publications and reporting services routinely used by Bank for this purpose in time for Bank to notify its customers in a timely manner. Bank also will use its reasonable efforts to notify Customer of any class action litigation for which information is actually received by Bank’s central corporate actions department but shall not be liable for any Liabilities arising out of Bank’s failure to identify Customer’s interest in any class action litigation. Bank does not commit, however, to provide information concerning Corporate Actions or class action litigation relating to Financial Assets being held at Customer’s request in a name not subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian.

(b) If an Authorized Person fails to provide Bank with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action or class action, neither Bank nor its Subcustodians or their respective nominees will take any action in relation to that Corporate Action or class action, except as otherwise agreed in writing by Bank and Customer or as may be set forth by Bank as a default action in the notification it provides under Section 2.9 (a) with respect to that Corporate Action or class action.

(c) Bank may sell or otherwise dispose of fractional interests in Financial Assets arising out of a Corporate Action or class action litigation and, to the extent necessary to protect Customer’s interest in that Corporate Action or class action, credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale or disposition. If some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Asset is called for redemption, Bank may allot the amount redeemed among the respective beneficial holders of such class of Financial Asset in any manner Bank deems to be fair and equitable.

(d) Notices of Corporate Actions and class actions dispatched to Customer may have been obtained from sources which Bank does not control and may have been translated or summarized. Although Bank believes such sources to be reliable, Bank has no duty to verify the information contained in such notices nor the faithfulness of any translation or summary and therefore does not guarantee its accuracy, completeness or timeliness, and shall not be liable to Customer for any loss that may result from relying on such notice unless Bank shall have been negligent in the selection of the source of such notices.


2.10	Proxies.


(a)	Bank will monitor information distributed to holders of Financial Assets about upcoming shareholder meetings, promptly notify the Customer of such information and, subject to Section 2.11(c), act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such meetings (“the Proxy Voting Service”).

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


(b)	The Proxy Voting Service is available only in certain markets, details of which are available from Bank on request. Provision of the Proxy Voting Service is conditional upon receipt by Bank of a duly completed enrolment form as well as additional documentation that may be required for certain markets.

(c)	The Proxy Voting Service does not include physical attendance at shareholder meetings. Requests for physical attendance at shareholder meetings can be made but they will be evaluated and agreed to by Bank on a case by case basis.

(d)	Customer acknowledges that the provision of the Proxy Voting Service may be precluded or restricted under a variety of circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to:


	(i)	the Financial Assets being on loan or out for registration;

	(ii)	the pendency of conversion or another corporate action;

	(iii)	the Financial Assets being held in a margin or collateral account at Bank or another bank or broker, or otherwise in a manner which affects voting;

	(iv)	local market regulations or practices, or restrictions by the issuer; and

(v) Bank being required to vote all shares held for a particular issue for all of Bank’s customers on a net basis (i.e. a net yes or no vote based on voting instructions received from all its customers). Where this is the case, Bank will inform Customer by means of the Notification.


2.11	Statements and Information Available On-Line.

(a) Bank will send, or make available on-line, to Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, a formal statement of account in Bank’s standard format for each Account maintained by Customer with Bank, identifying the Financial Assets and cash held in each Account (each such statement a “Statement of Account”). Additionally, Bank will send (or make available on-line to) Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of cash or Financial Assets with respect to each Account. Bank will not be liable with respect to any matter set forth in those portions of any Statement of Account or any such advice (or reasonably implied therefrom) to which Customer has not given Bank a written exception or objection within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Statement of Account, provided such matter is not the result of Bank’s willful misconduct or bad faith. References in this Agreement to Statements of Account include Statements of Account in electronic form.

(b) Prices and other information obtained from third parties which may be contained in any Statement of Account or other statement sent to Customer have been obtained from sources Bank believes to be reliable. Bank does not, however, make any representation as to the accuracy of such information or that the prices specified necessarily reflect the proceeds that would be received on a disposal of the relevant Financial Assets.

(c) Customer acknowledges that, except for Statements of Account or as otherwise expressly agreed by Bank, records and reports available to it on-line may not be accurate due to mis-postings, delays in updating Account records, and other causes. Bank will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of the inaccuracy of any such records or reports accessed on-line, except for direct damages caused by Banks’ willful misconduct or bad faith in the preparation,

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

posting or updating of such records and reports.


2.12	Access to Bank’s Records.

Bank will allow Customer’s independent public accountants such reasonable access to the records of Bank relating to Financial Assets as is required in connection with their examination of books and records pertaining to Customer’s affairs. Subject to restrictions under Applicable Law, Bank also will obtain an undertaking to permit Customer’s independent public accountants, reasonable access to the records of any Subcustodian of Securities held in the Securities Account as may be required in connection with such examination.


2.13	Maintenance of Financial Assets at Subcustodian Locations.

(a) Unless Instructions require another location acceptable to Bank, Financial Assets will be held in the country or jurisdiction in which their principal trading market is located, where such Financial Assets may be presented for payment, where such Financial Assets were acquired, or where such Financial Assets are held. Bank reserves the right to refuse to accept delivery of Financial Assets or cash in countries and jurisdictions other than those referred to in Schedule 1 to this Agreement, as in effect from time to time.

(b) Bank will not be obliged to follow an Instruction to hold Financial Assets with, or have them registered or recorded in the name of, any person not chosen by Bank. However, if Customer does instruct Bank to hold Securities and/or cash with or register or record Securities in the name of a person not chosen by Bank and Bank agrees to do so, the consequences of doing so are at Customer’s own risk and Bank (i) will not be liable therefor and (ii) may not provide services under this Agreement with respect to Securities or cash so held, including, without limitation, services provided under Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, and 8.2.


2.14	Tax Relief Services.


	Bank will provide tax relief services as provided in Section 8.2.


2.15	Foreign Exchange Transactions.

To facilitate the administration of Customer’s trading and investment activity, Bank may, but will not be obliged to, enter into spot or forward foreign exchange contracts with Customer, or an Authorized Person, and may also provide foreign exchange contracts and facilities through its Affiliates or Subcustodians. Instructions, including standing Instructions, may be issued with respect to such contracts, but Bank may establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange facility made available. In all cases where Bank, its Affiliates or Subcustodians enter into a master foreign exchange contract that covers foreign exchange transactions for the Accounts, the terms and conditions of that foreign exchange contract and, to the extent not inconsistent, this Agreement, will apply to such transactions.


2.16	Disbursements

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

Bank will pay, or cause to be paid, cash Disbursements from the Customer’s Account pursuant to the receipt of Instructions from an Authorized Person.

3. INSTRUCTIONS


3.1	Acting on Instructions; Unclear Instructions.

(a) Customer authorizes Bank to accept and act upon any Instructions received by it without inquiry. Customer will indemnify the Bank Indemnitees against, and hold each of them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Bank Indemnitees as a result of any action or omission taken in accordance with any Instructions or other directions upon which Bank is authorized to rely under the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all Instructions will continue in full force and effect until canceled or superseded.

(c) Bank may (in its sole discretion and without affecting any part of this Section 3.1) promptly seek clarification or confirmation of an Instruction from an Authorized Person and may decline to act upon an Instruction if it does not receive clarification or confirmation satisfactory to it. Bank will not be liable for any loss arising from any delay while it seeks such clarification or confirmation.

(d) In executing or paying a payment order Bank may rely upon the identifying number (e.g. Fedwire routing number or account) of any party as instructed in the payment order. Customer assumes full responsibility for any inconsistency between the name and identifying number of any party in payment orders issued to Bank in Customer’s name.


3.2	Confirmation of Oral Instructions/ Security Devices.

Any Instructions delivered to Bank by telephone will promptly thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Person. Each confirmation is to be clearly marked “Confirmation.” Bank will not be liable for having followed such Instructions notwithstanding the failure of an Authorized Person to send such confirmation in writing or the failure of such confirmation to conform to the telephone Instructions received. Either party may record any of their telephonic communications. Customer will comply with any security procedures reasonably required by Bank from time to time with respect to verification of Instructions. Customer will be responsible for safeguarding any test keys, identification codes or other security devices that Bank will make available to Customer or any Authorized Person.


3.3	Instructions; Contrary to Law/Market Practice.

Bank need not act upon Instructions which it reasonably believes to be contrary to law, regulation or market practice, but Bank will be under no duty to investigate whether any Instructions comply with Applicable Law or market practice.

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


3.4	Cut-off Times.

Bank has established cut-off times for receipt of some categories of Instruction, which will be made available to Customer upon execution of the Agreement and from time to time. If Bank receives an Instruction after its established cut-off time, Bank will attempt to act upon the Instruction on the day requested if Bank deems it practicable to do so or otherwise as soon as practicable on the next business day.

4. FEES, EXPENSES AND OTHER AMOUNTS OWING TO BANK


4.1	Fees and Expenses.

Customer will pay Bank for its services hereunder the fees set forth in Schedule B hereto or such other amounts as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time, together with Bank’s reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and tax or related fees incidental to processing by governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents. Customer authorizes Bank to deduct amounts owing to it from the Cash Account, for any such fees or expenses from time to time in arrears. Bank may increase such fees by not less than ninety days’ notice in writing to Customer. Without prejudice to Bank’s other rights, Bank reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts from the due date until actual payment at such rate as Bank may reasonably determine.


4.2	Overdrafts.

If a debit to any currency in the Cash Account results (or will result) in a debit balance, then Bank may, in its discretion, (i) advance an amount equal to the overdraft, (ii) or refuse to settle in whole or in part the transaction causing such debit balance, or (iii) if any such transaction is posted to the Securities Account, reverse any such posting. If Bank elects to make such an advance, the advance will be deemed a loan to Customer, payable on demand, bearing interest at the applicable rate charged by Bank from time to time, for such overdrafts, from the date of such advance to the date of payment (both after as well as before judgment) and otherwise on the terms on which Bank makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. No prior action or course of dealing on Bank’s part with respect to the settlement of transactions on Customer’s behalf will be asserted by Customer against Bank for Bank’s refusal to make advances to the Cash Account or to settle any transaction for which Customer does not have sufficient available funds in the applicable currency in the Account.


4.3	Bank’s Right Over Securities; Set-off.

(a) Customer grants Bank a security interest in and a lien on the Financial Assets held in the Securities Account as security for any and all amounts which are now or become owing to Bank under any provision of this Agreement, whether or not matured or contingent (“Indebtedness”).

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

(b) Without prejudice to Bank’s rights under Applicable Law, Bank may set off against any Indebtedness any amount in any currency standing to the credit of any of Customer’s accounts (whether deposit or otherwise) with any Bank branch or office or with any Affiliate of Bank. For this purpose, Bank shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of any fixed term deposits and to effect such currency conversions as may be necessary at its current rates for the sale and purchase of the relevant currencies.

5. SUBCUSTODIANS, SECURITIES DEPOSITORIES, AND OTHER AGENTS


5.1	Appointment of Subcustodians; Use of Securities Depositories.

(a) Bank is authorized under this Agreement to act through and hold Customer’s Financial Assets with subcustodians, being at the date of this Agreement the entities listed in Schedule C and/or such other entities as Bank may appoint as subcustodians (“Subcustodians”). Bank will use reasonable care in the selection and continued appointment of such Subcustodians. In addition, Bank and each Subcustodian may deposit Financial Assets with, and hold Financial Assets in, any securities depository, settlement system, dematerialized book entry system or similar system (together a “Securities Depository”) on such terms as such systems customarily operate and Customer will provide Bank with such documentation or acknowledgements that Bank may require to hold the Financial Assets in such systems.

(b) Any agreement Bank enters into with a Subcustodian for holding Bank’s customers’ 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. Where a Subcustodian deposits Securities with a Securities Depository, Bank will cause the Subcustodian to identify on its records as belonging to Bank, as agent, the Securities shown on the Subcustodian’s account at such Securities Depository. This Section 5.1(b) will not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by Customer with any particular Subcustodian.

(c) Bank 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 misconduct, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, Bank will make reasonable endeavors, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but Bank will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file a proof claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.

5.2 Liability for Subcustodians.

(a) Subject to Section 7.1(b), Bank will be liable for direct losses incurred by Customer that result from:

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


		(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 willful misconduct of such Subcustodian in the provision of custodial services by it;

		(ii)	the insolvency of any Affiliated Subcustodian; or

		(iii)	negligence in the selection of a Subcustodian.

(b) Subject to Section 5.1(a) and Bank’s duty to use reasonable care in the monitoring of a Subcustodian’s financial condition as reflected in its published financial statements and other publicly available financial information concerning it customarily reviewed by Bank in its oversight process, Bank will not be responsible for the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or an Affiliated Subcustodian.

(c) Bank reserves the right to add, replace or remove Subcustodians. Bank will give prompt notice of any such action, which will be advance notice if practicable. Upon request by Customer, Bank 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.

5.3 Use of Agents.

(a) Bank may provide certain services under this Agreement through third parties, which may be Affiliates. Except to the extent provided in Section 5.2 with respect to Subcustodians, Bank will not be responsible for any loss as a result of a failure by any broker or any other third party that it selects and retains using reasonable care to provide ancillary services that it does not customarily provide itself, including, without limitation, delivery services and providers of information regarding matters such as pricing, proxy voting, corporate actions and class action litigation. Ancillary services do not include core custody services (i.e., Securities safekeeping, settlement, tax relief services (as contemplated in Section 8.2), disbursements made pursuant to Instructions and income collection services) for which Bank shall remain liable as provided under this Agreement if core custody services are provided through third parties (subcustodians) that are Bank’s agents. In addition, Bank will be liable for the performance of any such third party selected by Bank that is an Affiliate to the same extent as Bank would have been liable if it performed such services itself.

(b) In the case of the sale under Section 2.9 of a fractional interest (or in other cases where Customer has requested Bank to arrange for execution of a trade) Bank will place trades with a broker which is an Affiliate to the extent that Bank has established a program for such trading with such Affiliate. An affiliated broker may charge its customary commission (or retain its customary spread) with respect to any such transaction.

7.1 Standard of Care; Liability.

(a) Bank will use reasonable care in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

Bank will not be in violation of this Agreement with respect to any matter as to which it has satisfied its obligation of reasonable care.

(b) Bank will be liable for Customer’s direct damages to the extent they result from Bank’s negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties as set out in this Agreement and to the extent provided in Section 5.2(a). Nevertheless, under no circumstances will Bank be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages (including, without limitation, lost profits) of any form incurred by any person or entity, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the type of action in which such a claim may be brought, with respect to the Accounts, Bank’s performance hereunder, or Bank’s role as custodian.

(c) Customer will indemnify the Bank Indemnitees against, and hold them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Bank Indemnitees in connection with or arising out of (i) Bank’s performance under this Agreement, provided the Bank Indemnitees have not acted with negligence or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the Liabilities in question or (ii) any Bank Indemnitee’s status as a holder of record of Customer’s Financial Assets. Nevertheless, Customer will not be obligated to indemnify any Bank Indemnitee under the preceding sentence with respect to any Liability for which Bank is liable under Sections 5.2 or 5.3(a) of this Agreement.

Bank will be entitled to rely on, and may act upon the advice of professional advisers in relation to matters of non-U.S. law, regulation or market practice (which may be the professional advisers of Customer), and will not be liable to Customer for any action taken or omitted pursuant to such advice provided that Bank is not negligent in the selection of such professional adviser. Bank will treat Customer the same as other similarly situated customers when dealing with professional advisers.

7.4 Bank Provides Diverse Financial Services and May Generate Profits as a Result.

Customer acknowledges that Bank or its Affiliates may have a material interest in transactions entered into by Customer with respect to the Account or that circumstances are such that Bank may have a potential conflict of duty or interest. For example, Bank or its Affiliates may act as a market maker in the Financial Assets to which Instructions relate, provide brokerage services to other customers, act as financial adviser to the issuer of such Financial Assets, act in the same transaction as agent for more than one customer, have a material interest in the issue of the Financial Assets; or earn profits from any of these activities. Customer further acknowledges that Bank or its Affiliates may be in possession of information tending to show that the Instructions received may not be in the best interests of Customer but that Bank is not under any duty to disclose any such information.

Customer undertakes to notify Bank immediately if any information requires updating or correcting. Bank shall not be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or additions to tax, payable or paid that result from (i) the inaccurate completion of documents by Customer or any third party; (ii) provision to Bank or a third party of inaccurate or misleading information by Customer or any third party; (iii) the withholding of material information by Customer or any third party; or (iv) as a result of any delay by any revenue authority or any other cause beyond the Bank’s control.

8.2 Tax Relief Services.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section, Bank will apply for a reduction of withholding tax and any refund of any tax paid or tax credits in respect of income payments on Financial Assets credited to the Securities Account that Bank believes may be available. To defray expenses pertaining to nominal tax claims, Bank may from time-to-time set minimum thresholds as to a de minimus value of tax reclaims or reduction of withholding which it will pursue in respect of income payments under this section.

(b) The provision of a tax relief service by Bank is conditional upon Bank receiving from Customer (i) a declaration of its identity and place of residence and (ii) certain other documentation (pro forma copies of which are available from Bank), prior to the receipt of Financial assets in the Account or the payment of income.

(c) Bank will perform tax relief services only with respect to taxation levied by the revenue authorities of the countries advised to Customer from time to time and Bank may, by notification in writing, in its absolute discretion, supplement or amend the countries in which the tax relief services are offered. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 8.2 Bank will have no responsibility with regard to Customer’s tax position or status in any jurisdiction.

(d) Customer confirms that Bank is authorized to disclose any information requested by any revenue authority or any governmental entity in relation to the processing of any tax relief claim.

9. TERMINATION

Either party may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other party. If Customer gives notice of termination, it must provide full details of the persons to whom Bank must deliver Financial Assets and cash. If Bank gives notice of termination, then Customer must, within sixty days, notify Bank of details of its new custodian, failing which Bank may elect (at any time after the sixty day notice period) either to retain the Financial Assets and cash until such details are given, continuing to charge fees due (in which case Bank’s sole obligation will be for the safekeeping of the Financial Assets and cash), or deliver the Financial Assets and cash to a Customer designated third party. Bank will in any event be entitled to deduct any amounts owing

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

Customer will reimburse Bank promptly for all out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in delivering Financial Assets upon termination. Termination will not affect any of the liabilities either party owes to the other arising under this Agreement prior to such termination.

A. Add a new Section 2.17 to the Agreement as follows:

“2.17. Compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rule 17f-5 (“rule 17f-5”).

(a) Customer’s board of directors (or equivalent body) (hereinafter ‘Board’) hereby delegates to Bank, and, except as to the country or countries as to which Bank may, from time to time, advise Customer that it does not accept such delegation, Bank hereby accepts the delegation to it, of the obligation to perform as Customer’s ‘Foreign Custody Manager’ (as that term is defined in rule 17f-5(a)(3) as promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)), including for the purposes of: (i) selecting Eligible Foreign Custodians (as that term is defined in rule 17f-5(a)(1), and as the same may be amended from time to time, or that have otherwise been exempted pursuant to an SEC exemptive order) to hold foreign Financial Assets and Cash, (ii) evaluating the contractual arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(2)), (iii) monitoring such foreign custody arrangements (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(3)).


	(b) In connection with the foregoing, Bank shall:

	(i) provide written reports notifying Customer’s Board of the placement of Financial Assets and Cash with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and of any material change in the arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians, with such reports to be provided to Customer’s Board at such times as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate based on the circumstances of Customer’s foreign custody arrangements (and until further notice from Customer such reports shall be provided not less than quarterly with respect to the placement of Financial Assets and Cash with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and with reasonable promptness upon the occurrence of any material change in the arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians);

	(ii) exercise such reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing as Customer’s Foreign Custody Manager as a person having responsibility for the safekeeping of foreign Financial Assets and cash would exercise;

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


	Custodian shall be subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians in the relevant market, after having considered all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such foreign Financial Assets and cash, including, without limitation, those factors set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(1)(i)-(iv);

	(iv) determine that the written contract with an Eligible Foreign Custodian requires that the Eligible Foreign Custodian shall provide reasonable care for foreign Financial Assets and Cash based on the standards applicable to custodians in the relevant market.

	(v) have established a system to monitor the continued appropriateness of maintaining foreign Financial Assets and cash with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and of the governing contractual arrangements; it being understood, however, that in the event that Bank shall have determined that the existing Eligible Foreign Custodian in a given country would no longer afford foreign Financial Assets and cash reasonable care and that no other Eligible Foreign Custodian in that country would afford reasonable care, Bank shall promptly so advise Customer and shall then act in accordance with the Instructions of Customer with respect to the disposition of the affected foreign Financial Assets and cash.

Subject to (b)(i)-(v) above, Bank is hereby authorized to place and maintain foreign Financial Assets and cash on behalf of Customer with Eligible Foreign Custodians pursuant to a written contract deemed appropriate by Bank.

(c) Except as expressly provided herein, Customer shall be solely responsible to assure that the maintenance of foreign Financial Assets and cash hereunder complies with the rules, regulations, interpretations and exemptive orders as promulgated by or under the authority of the SEC.

(d) Bank represents to Customer that it is a U.S. Bank as defined in Rule 17f-5(a)(7). Customer represents to Bank that: (1) the foreign Financial Assets and cash being placed and maintained in Bank’s custody are subject to the 1940 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time; (2)(i) its Board has determined that it is reasonable to rely on Bank to perform as Customer’s Foreign Custody Manager and (ii) its Board or its investment adviser shall have determined that Customer may maintain foreign Financial Assets and cash in each country in which Customer’s Financial Assets and cash shall be held hereunder and determined to accept Country Risk. Nothing contained herein shall require Bank to make any selection or to engage in any monitoring on behalf of Customer that would entail consideration of Country Risk.

(e) Bank shall provide to Customer such information relating to Country Risk as is specified in Appendix 1 hereto. Customer hereby acknowledges that: (i) such information is solely designed to inform Customer of market conditions and procedures and is not intended as a recommendation to invest or not invest in particular markets; and (ii) Bank has gathered the information from sources it considers reliable, but that Bank shall have no responsibility for inaccuracies or incomplete information.

B. Add a new Section 2.18 to the Agreement as follows:

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement

(a) Bank shall, for consideration by Customer, provide an analysis of the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer’s Foreign Assets with each Eligible Securities Depository used by Bank as of the date hereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Securities Depository not used by Bank as of the date hereof, prior to the initial placement of Customer’s foreign Assets at such Depository) and at which any foreign Assets of Customer are held or are expected to be held. The foregoing analysis will be provided to Customer at Bank’s Website. In connection with the foregoing, Customer shall notify Bank of any Eligible Securities Depositories at which it does not choose to have its Foreign Assets held. Bank shall monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer’s foreign Assets at each such Eligible Securities Depository on a continuing basis and shall promptly notify Customer or its adviser of any material changes in such risks.

(b) Bank shall exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing the requirements set forth in Section 2.18(a) above.

(c) Based on the information available to it in the exercise of diligence, Bank shall determine the eligibility under rule 17f-7 of each depository before including it on Appendix 2 hereto and shall promptly advise Customer if any Eligible Securities Depository ceases to be eligible. (Eligible Securities Depositories used by Bank as of the date hereof are set forth in Appendix 2 hereto, and as the same may be amended on notice to Customer from time to time.)

C. Add the following after the first sentence of Section 5.1(a) of the Agreement: “At the request of Customer, Bank may, but need not, add to Schedule C an Eligible Foreign Custodian where Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to the selection thereof. Bank shall notify Customer in the event that it elects to add any such entity.”

D. Add the following language as Sections 5.1(d), (e) and (f) of the Agreement:


	(d)	The term Subcustodian as used herein shall mean the following:

		(i) a ‘U.S. Bank,’ which shall mean a U.S. bank as defined in rule 17f-5(a)(7);

		(ii) an ‘Eligible Foreign Custodian,’ which shall mean: (i) a banking institution or trust company, incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States, that is regulated as such by that country’s government or an agency thereof, and (ii) a majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of a U.S. bank or bank holding company which subsidiary is incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States. In addition, an Eligible Foreign Custodian shall also mean any other entity that shall have been so qualified by exemptive order, rule or other appropriate action of the SEC.

		(iii) For purposes of clarity, it is agreed that as used in Section 5.2(a), the term Subcustodian shall not include any Eligible Foreign Custodian as to which Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager.

Investment Company Rider to Global Custody Agreement


	(e)	The term ‘securities depository’ as used herein when referring to a securities depository located outside the U.S.
shall mean:

		an “Eligible Securities Depository” which, in turn, shall have the same meaning as in rule 17f-7(b)(1)(i)-(vi) as the same may be amended from time to time, or that has otherwise been made exempt pursuant to an SEC exemptive order.

	(f)	The term “securities depository” as used herein when referring to a securities depository located in the U.S. shall
mean a “securities depository” as defined in rule 17f-4(c)(6).
