which the principal trading market for such Financial Assets is located, where
such Financial Assets are to be presented for payment or where such Financial
Assets are acquired; and

acknowledges that Customer's preference is for its cash balances to be held in
interest bearing accounts where available). To the extent Instructions are
issued and Bank can comply with such Instructions, Bank is authorized to
maintain cash balances on deposit for Customer with itself (or its Affiliates,
in accordance with applicable law and regulation), at such reasonable rates of
interest as may from time to time be paid on such accounts, or in non-interest
bearing accounts as Customer may direct, if acceptable to Bank.
If Customer wishes to have any Foreign Assets held in the custody of an
institution other than the established Subcustodians as defined in Section 4
(or an Eligible Securities Depository listed on Schedule B hereto), such
arrangement must be authorized by a written agreement, signed by Bank and
Customer.
4. SUBCUSTODIANS.
(a) Bank may act under the Agreement through the subcustodians with which Bank
has entered into Eligible Contracts and which are listed on Schedule A attached
hereto ("Subcustodians"). Bank reserves the right, exercising reasonable
discretion, to amend Schedule A from time to time. Any such amendment shall be
effective upon 45 calendar days' notice to Customer in accordance with the
Agreement.
(b) Bank hereby represents to Customer that each Subcustodian is an Eligible
Foreign Custodian. If Schedule A is amended to add one or more Subcustodians,
this representation shall be effective as to the amended Schedule on the date
of such amendment. As soon as reasonably practicable, Bank shall advise
Customer if any Subcustodian ceases to be an Eligible Foreign Custodian.
(c) Customer authorizes Bank to hold Assets in accounts that Bank has
established with one or more of its branches or such Subcustodians, provided
that, in the case of an Eligible Foreign Custodian, Customer's Foreign Custody
Manager has made the determinations required by Rule 17f-5 with respect to the
Foreign Assets to be held by such Subcustodian. If Bank is not acting as
Foreign Custody Manager at such time, Customer shall give Bank appropriate
notice of such determinations.
5. APPOINTMENT AS FOREIGN CUSTODY MANAGER.
Customer hereby appoints Bank as its Foreign Custody Manager in accordance with
Rule 17f-5. Bank hereby accepts such appointment. Customer and Bank shall act
in conformity with such rule (including any amendments thereto or successor
provisions) for as long as Bank acts as Customer's Foreign Custody Manager.
Bank's appointment as Foreign Custody Manager (or for a particular country or
other political or geographical jurisdiction) may be terminated at any time by
Customer or Bank. Any such termination shall be effected in a manner
consistent with the provisions for notice and termination set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement.
As of the date hereof, Rule 17f-5 provides that Customer may from time to time
place or maintain in the care of an Eligible Foreign Custodian any of
Customer's Foreign Assets, PROVIDED THAT:
(a) Customer's Foreign Custody Manager determines that Customer's assets will
be subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians
in the relevant market, if maintained with the Eligible Foreign Custodian,
after considering all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such assets,
including, without limitation:
(i) The Eligible Foreign Custodian's practices, procedures, and internal
controls, including, but not limited to, the physical protections available for
Certificated Securities (if applicable), the method of keeping custodial
records, and the security and data protection practices;
(ii) Whether the Eligible Foreign Custodian has the requisite financial
strength to provide reasonable care for Foreign Assets;
(iii) The Eligible Foreign Custodian's general reputation and standing; and
(iv) Whether Customer will have jurisdiction over and be able to enforce
judgments against the Eligible Foreign Custodian, such as by virtue of the
existence of any offices of the custodian in the United States or the
custodian's consent to service of process in the United States.
(b) The arrangement with the Eligible Foreign Custodian is governed by a
written contract that Customer's Foreign Custody Manager, has determined will
provide reasonable care for Customer's assets based on the standards set forth
in paragraph (a) above.
(i) Such contract must provide:
(A) For indemnification or insurance arrangements (or any combination of the
foregoing) that will adequately protect Customer against the risk of loss of
Foreign Assets held in accordance with such contract;
(B) That Foreign Assets will not be subject to any right, charge, security
interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of the Eligible Foreign Custodian
or its creditors, except a claim of payment for their safe custody or
administration or, in the case of cash deposits, liens or rights in favor of
creditors of the custodian arising under bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
laws;
(C) That beneficial ownership of the Foreign Assets will be freely transferable
without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or
administration;
(D) That adequate records will be maintained identifying the assets as
belonging to Customer or as being held by a third party for the benefit of
Customer;
(E) That Customer's independent public accountants will be given access to
those records or confirmation of the contents of those records; and
(G) That Customer will receive periodic reports with respect to the safekeeping
of Customer's assets, including, but not limited to, notification of any
transfer to or from Customer's account or a third party account containing
assets held for the benefit of Customer.
(ii) Such contract may contain, in lieu of any or all of the provisions
specified in paragraph (b)(i) above, such other provisions that Customer's
Foreign Custody Manager, determines will provide, in their entirety, the same
or a greater level of care and protection for the Foreign Assets as the
specified provisions, in their entirety.
(c) (i) Customer's Foreign Custody Manager, has established a system to monitor
the appropriateness of maintaining Customer's assets with a particular
custodian under paragraph (a) above, and to monitor performance of the contract
under paragraph (b) above.
(ii) If an arrangement no longer meets these requirements, Customer must
withdraw its assets from the Eligible Foreign Custodian as soon as reasonably
practicable.
Customer's Foreign Custody Manager will provide written reports in a form
reasonably acceptable to Customer (or an Authorized Person) notifying
Customer's Board of Directors (or equivalent body; hereinafter, "Board") of the
placement of Customer's Foreign Assets with a particular custodian and of any
material change in Customer's non-U.S. custody arrangements, with the reports
to be provided to the Board at such times as the Board deems reasonable and
appropriate based on the circumstances of Customer's non-U.S. custody
arrangements.
6. SECURITIES DEPOSITORIES.
(a) Bank hereby represents to Customer that each securities depository listed
on Schedule B is an Eligible Securities Depository. If Schedule B is amended,
this representation shall be effective as to the amended Schedule on the date
of such amendment. Bank shall promptly advise Customer if any securities
depository listed on Schedule B ceases to be an Eligible Securities Depository.
(b) Bank shall provide Customer an analysis of the custody risks (which
analyses may be provided to Customer electronically) associated with
maintaining Customer's Foreign Assets with each Eligible Securities Depository
used by Bank as of a date to be agreed upon between the parties, but which
shall in no event be later than June 15, 2001, (or, in the case of an Eligible
Securities Depository not used by Bank as of the agreed upon date, prior to the
initial placement of Customer's Foreign Assets at such Depository after such
date) and at which any Foreign Assets of Customer are held or are expected to
be 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 investment adviser
of any material changes in such risks.
(c) Bank shall, upon Customer's reasonable request from time to time, provide
certain additional information ("Additional Information") to Customer beyond
the scope of the information Bank is otherwise obligated to provide to Customer
under this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties relating to
Customer's Foreign Assets. For example, Additional Information may relate to a
country's financial infrastructure, prevailing custody and settlement
practices, laws applicable to the safekeeping and recovery of Foreign Assets
held in custody, and the likelihood of nationalization, currency controls and
similar risks, but shall not include information required to be provided under
this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties relating to
Customer's Foreign Assets.
(d) Bank's obligation to provide Customer with Additional Information shall be
limited to the extent Additional Information is (i) already in the possession
of Bank, or (ii) available to Bank using commercially reasonable means.
Customer hereby acknowledges that: (i) Additional Information is designed
solely to inform Customer of certain 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 does not assume responsibility for inaccuracies or incomplete information
attributable to actions or omissions of third parties. (For this purpose,
"third parties" shall not include any of the Subcustodians listed on Schedule
A, except to the extent that, in a given case, a Subcustodian accurately
transmitted information it had itself received from a third party (such as from
a regulator or securities depository) rather than information it had generated
itself.)
(e) Customer and Bank hereby acknowledge and agree that the decision to place
Customer's Foreign Assets with an Eligible Securities Depository shall be made
by Customer's investment adviser (subject to the Board's oversight) or the
Customer, after consideration of the information provided by Bank and other
information Customer deems relevant, and based on standards of care that are
generally applicable to investment advisers and the Board. Further, the
parties understand that the decision to place Customer's Foreign Assets with an
Eligible Securities Depository does not have to be made separately, but may be
made in the overall context of the decision to invest in a particular country.
7. USE OF SUBCUSTODIANS AND SECURITIES DEPOSITORIES.
(a) Bank shall identify the Assets on its books as belonging to Customer .
(b) A Subcustodian shall hold such Assets together with assets belonging to
other customers of Bank in accounts identified on such Subcustodian's books as
custody accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers of Bank.
(c) Any Financial Assets in the Accounts held by a Subcustodian shall be
subject only to the instructions of Bank or its agent. Any Financial Assets
held in a securities depository for the account of a Subcustodian shall be
subject only to the instructions of such Subcustodian or its agent.
(d) Where Securities are deposited by a Subcustodian with a securities
depository, Bank shall cause the Subcustodian to identify on its books as
belonging to Bank, as agent, the Securities shown on the Subcustodian's account
on the books of such securities depository.
(e) Bank shall supply periodically, as mutually agreed upon, a statement in
respect of any Securities and cash, including identification of the foreign
entities having custody of the Securities and cash and descriptions thereof.
8. DEPOSIT ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Bank (or the applicable Subcustodian) shall make payments from the Deposit
Account upon receipt of Instructions which include all information required by
Bank.
(b) In the event that any payment to be made under this Section 8 exceeds the
funds available in the Deposit Account, Bank, in its discretion, may advance
Customer such excess amount which shall be deemed a loan payable on demand,
bearing interest at the rate customarily charged by Bank on similar loans.
(c) Bank shall, or shall cause the applicable Subcustodian to: (i) subject to
the last sentence hereof, collect amounts due and payable to Customer with
respect to Financial Assets and other assets held in the Accounts; (ii)
promptly credit to the account of Customer all income and other payments
relating to Financial Assets or other Assets held by Bank hereunder upon Bank's
receipt (or the applicable Subcustodian's receipt) of such income or payments
or as otherwise agreed in writing by Customer and Bank; and (iii) promptly
endorse and deliver instruments required to effect such collections. If Bank
credits the Deposit Account on a payable date, or at any time prior to actual
collection and reconciliation to the Deposit Account, with interest, dividends,
redemptions or any other amount due, Customer shall promptly return any such
amount upon oral or written notification: (i) that such amount has not been
received in the ordinary course of business or (ii) that such amount was
incorrectly credited. If Customer does not promptly return any amount upon
such notification, Bank shall be entitled, upon oral or written notification to
Customer, to reverse such credit by debiting the Deposit Account for the amount
previously credited. Bank shall furnish regular overdue income reports to
Customer in writing (or by any means by which Instructions may be transmitted
hereunder, other than by telephone) of any amounts payable with respect to
Financial Assets or other Assets of Customer if such amounts are not received
by Bank (or the applicable Subcustodian) when due (or otherwise in accordance
with Local Practice). Bank or its Subcustodian shall have no duty or
obligation to institute legal proceedings, file a claim or a proof of claim in
any insolvency proceeding or take any other action with respect to the
collection of such amount, but may act for Customer upon Instructions after
consultation with Customer.
9. CUSTODY ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Financial Assets shall be transferred, exchanged or delivered by Bank or
its Subcustodian upon receipt by Bank of Instructions which include all
information required by Bank. Settlement and payment for Financial Assets
received for, and delivery of Financial Assets out of, the Custody Account may
be made in accordance with Local Practice. In connection with the foregoing,
where Bank believes in good faith that use of a reasonably available
alternative practice to Local Practice would be more protective of Financial
Assets than Local Practice, Bank shall advise Customer of such practice and if
Customer authorizes its use such practice shall then be deemed to be Local
Practice. Bank shall advise Customer of whether or not given markets routinely
use same-day settlement practices, which advice may be given through Bank's
Settlement System Market Practice Assessments(sm).
(b) (i) Bank, in its discretion, may credit or debit the Accounts on a
contractual settlement date with cash or Financial Assets with respect to any
sale, exchange or purchase of Financial Assets. (ii) Otherwise, such
transactions shall be credited or debited to the Accounts on the date cash or
Financial Assets are actually received by Bank (or the applicable Subcustodian)
and reconciled to the Account. In connection with the foregoing, if Customer
so requests and it is reasonably practicable for Bank to do so, Bank shall
settle transactions in a given market in accordance with the procedures in
9(b)(ii) even if Bank otherwise makes the procedures in 9(b)(i) available.
(1) Bank may reverse credits or debits made to the Accounts in its discretion
if the related transaction fails to settle within a reasonable period,
determined by Bank in its discretion, after the contractual settlement date for
the related transaction; provided however that prior to taking action, Bank
will use every reasonable effort to give Customer written notice of any such
reversal which may include back valuation.
(2) If any Financial Assets delivered pursuant to this Section 9 are returned
by the recipient thereof, Bank may reverse the credits and debits of the
particular transaction at any time.
10. ACTIONS OF BANK.
Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding Assets held in the Accounts.
However, until it receives Instructions to the contrary, Bank shall:
(a) Present for payment any Financial Assets which are called, redeemed or
retired or otherwise become payable and all coupons and other income items
which call for payment upon presentation, to the extent that Bank or
Subcustodian is actually aware of such opportunities.
(b) Execute in the name of Customer such ownership and other certificates as
may be required to obtain payments in respect of Financial Assets.
(c) Exchange interim receipts or temporary Financial Assets for definitive
Financial Assets.
(d) Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction involving the Financial
Assets, including, without limitation, Affiliates of Bank or any Subcustodian.
(e) Issue statements to Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, identifying
the Assets in the Accounts.
Bank shall send Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of Assets
to or from the Accounts. Such statements, advices or notifications shall
indicate the identity of the entity having custody of the Assets.
All collections of funds or other property paid or distributed in respect of
Financial Assets in the Custody Account shall be made at the risk of Customer
until such funds or other property have been received by Bank (or the
applicable Subcustodian). Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned
by delay (other than its own) in the actual receipt of notice by Bank or by its
Subcustodians of any payment, redemption or other transaction regarding
Financial Assets in the Custody Account in respect of which Bank has agreed to
take any action hereunder.
11. CORPORATE ACTIONS; PROXIES; TAXES.
(a) Corporate Actions. Bank shall transmit promptly to Customer summary
notification of corporate action information received on a timely basis by Bank
(including, without limitation, pendency of calls and maturities of Financial
Assets and expirations of rights in connection therewith and notices of
exercise of call and put options written by Customer and the maturity of
futures contracts (and options thereon) purchased or sold by Customer) from
issuers of the Financial Assets being held by Customer. With respect to tender
or exchange offers, Bank shall transmit promptly to Customer notice of
corporate action information received on a timely basis by Bank from issuers of
the Financial Assets whose tender or exchange is sought and from the party (or
its agents) making the tender or exchange offer. If Customer desires to take
action with respect to any tender offer, exchange offer or any other similar
transaction, Customer shall notify Bank within such period as will give Bank
(including any Subcustodian) sufficient time to take such action. Bank shall
inform Customer of pertinent deadlines in each case.
When a rights entitlement or a fractional interest resulting from a rights
issue, stock dividend, stock split or similar corporate action is received
which bears an expiration date, Bank shall endeavor to obtain Instructions from
Customer or its Authorized Person, but if Instructions are not received in time
for Bank to take timely action, or actual notice of such Corporate Action was
received too late to seek Instructions, Bank shall take no action; it being
understood, however, that as long as such instructions could still be acted
upon in a timely fashion Bank shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
instructions, even where Bank's own deadline for receipt of instructions has
expired, but Bank shall have no liability if it is unable timely to act
thereon.
(b) Proxy Voting.
(i) Bank shall, with respect to Financial Assets that are not Foreign Assets,
cause to be promptly executed by the registered holder of such Financial
Assets, if the Financial Assets are registered otherwise than in the name of
Customer or a nominee thereof, all proxies, without indication of the manner in
which such proxies are to be voted, and shall promptly deliver to Customer such
proxies, all proxy soliciting materials and all notices relating to such
Financial Assets.
(ii) Bank shall, with respect to Financial Assets that are Foreign Assets, use
commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the exercise of voting and other
shareholder proxy rights; it being understood and agreed that (A) proxy voting
may not be available in all markets (it being understood that Bank shall make
proxy voting services available to Customer in a given market where Bank offers
such services to any other custody client), and (B) apart from voting, Bank
will, upon request and in its discretion, assist customer in exercising other
shareholder rights such as attending shareholder meetings, nominating directors
and proposing agenda items. In particular, and without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Bank may provide written summaries of proxy materials in lieu
of providing original materials (or copies thereof) and while Bank shall
attempt to provide accurate summaries, whether or not translated, Bank shall
not be liable for any losses or other consequences that may result from
reliance by Customer upon the same where Bank prepared the same in good faith
and with reasonable efforts. Customer acknowledges that local conditions,
including lack of regulation, onerous procedural obligations, lack of notice,
practical constraints and other facts, may have the effect of severely limiting
the ability of Customer to exercise shareholder rights. In addition, Customer
acknowledges that: (A) in certain countries Bank may be unable to vote
individual proxies but shall only be able to vote proxies on a net basis (E.G.,
a net yes or no vote given the voting instructions received from all
customers); and (B) proxy voting may be precluded or restricted in a variety of
circumstances, including, without limitation, where the relevant Financial
Assets are: (1) on loan; (2) at registrar for registration or reregistration;
(3) the subject of a conversion or other corporate action; (4) not held in a
name subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian or are otherwise held
in a manner which precludes voting; (5) held in a margin or collateral account;
and (6) American Depository Receipts.
(iii) Customer and each Authorized Person shall respect the proprietary nature
of information developed exclusively through the efforts of Bank (or
Subcustodians or other parties acting under Bank's direction) in relation to
proxy voting services.
(c) Taxes.
(i) Customer confirms that Bank is authorized to deduct from any cash received
or credited to the Deposit Account any taxes or levies required to be deducted
by any revenue or other governmental authority for whatever reason in respect
of the Custody Account.
(ii) Customer shall provide Bank with all required tax-related documentation
and other information relating to Assets held hereunder ("Tax Information").
Tax Information shall include, but shall not be limited to, information
necessary for submission to revenue or other governmental authorities to
establish taxable amounts or reduce tax burdens that would otherwise be borne
by Customer. Upon receipt of Instructions and all required Tax Information
from Customer, Bank shall (A) execute ownership and other certificates and
affidavits for all tax purposes (within and outside of the United States) in
connection with receipt of income and other payments with respect to Assets
held hereunder, or in connection with the purchase, sale or transfer of such
Assets, and (B) where appropriate, file any certificates or other affidavits
for the refund or reclaim of non-U.S. taxes paid with respect to such Assets.
Customer warrants that, when given, Tax Information shall be true and correct
in all material respects. Customer shall notify Bank promptly if any Tax
Information requires updating or amendment to correct misleading information.
(iii) Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any tax obligations
(including both taxes and any and all penalties, interest or additions to tax)
now or hereafter imposed on Customer, or Bank as Customer's custodian, by any
revenue or governmental authority, or penalties or other costs or expenses
arising out of the delivery of, or failure to deliver, Tax Information by
Customer
(iv) Bank shall perform tax reclaim services only with respect to taxation
levied by the revenue authorities of the countries notified to Customer from
time to time and Bank may, by notification in writing, in Bank's absolute
discretion, supplement or amend the markets in which tax reclaim services are
offered; provided that, Bank shall make tax reclaim services available to
Customer in a given country where Bank offers such services to any other
custody client having the same tax status. Other than as expressly provided in
this sub-clause, Bank shall have no responsibility with regard to Customer's
tax position or status in any jurisdiction.
(v) Tax reclaim services may be provided by Bank or, in whole or in part, by
one or more third parties appointed by Bank (which may be Bank's affiliates);
provided that Bank shall be liable for the performance of any such third party
to the same extent as Bank would have been if Bank had performed such services.
(vi) If Bank does not receive appropriate declarations, documentation and
information then any applicable United States withholding tax shall be deducted
from income received from Financial Assets.
12. NOMINEES.
Financial Assets which are ordinarily held in registered form may be
registered in a nominee name of Bank, Subcustodian or Eligible Securities
Depository, as the case may be. Bank may without notice to Customer cause any
such Financial Assets to cease to be registered in the name of any such nominee
and to be registered in the name of Customer. In the event that any Financial
Assets registered in a nominee name are called for partial redemption by the
issuer, Bank may allot the called portion to the respective beneficial holders
of such class of security in any manner Bank deems to be fair and equitable.
Customer shall hold Bank, Subcustodians, and their respective nominees harmless
from any liability arising directly or indirectly from their status as a mere
record holder of Financial Assets in the Custody Account. Financial Assets
accepted by Custodian on behalf Customer under this Agreement shall be in a
form and delivered in a manner consistent with Local Practice.
13. INSTRUCTIONS.
Unless otherwise expressly provided, all Instructions shall continue in full
force and effect until canceled or superseded. Any Instructions delivered to
Bank by telephone shall promptly thereafter be confirmed in writing by an
Authorized Person (which confirmation may bear the facsimile signature of such
Person), but Customer shall hold Bank harmless for the failure of an Authorized
Person to send such confirmation in writing, the failure of such confirmation
to conform to the telephone instructions received or Bank's failure to produce
such confirmation at any subsequent time. Bank may electronically record any
Instructions given by telephone, and any other telephone discussions with
respect to the Custody Account. Customer shall be responsible for safeguarding
any testkeys, identification codes or other security devices which Bank shall
make available to Customer or its Authorized Persons.
14. STANDARD OF CARE; LIABILITIES.
(a) Bank shall exercise reasonable care and diligence in carrying out all of
its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and shall be liable to
Customer for any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines,
penalties, and expenses, including out-of-pocket and incidental expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees ("Losses") suffered or incurred by Customer
resulting from failure of Bank (including any branch thereof, regardless of
location) to exercise reasonable care and diligence. Bank shall be liable to
Customer in respect of such Losses to the same extent that Bank would be liable
to Customer if Bank were holding the affected Assets in New York City, but only
to the extent of Customer's direct damages, to be determined based on the
market value of the property which is the subject of the Loss at the date of
discovery of such Loss by Customer and without reference to any special
conditions or circumstances.
(b) Bank shall be liable to Customer for all Losses resulting from the action
or inaction of any Subcustodian to the same extent that Bank would be liable to
Customer if Bank were holding the affected Assets in New York City, and such
action or inaction were that of the Bank.
(c) As long as and to the extent that it has exercised reasonable care and
acted in good faith, Bank shall not be responsible for:
(i) the title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of title
thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement; it being
understood that Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
respect of this subparagraph (i) if Financial Assets are received by Bank in
accordance with Local Practice for the particular Financial Asset in question;
(ii) any act, omission, default or for the solvency of any broker or agent
which it or a Subcustodian appoints; it being understood that Bank or a
Subcustodian shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in respect of
this subparagraph (ii) if it exercised reasonable care in the selection of any
such broker or agent (and it being understood that the word "agent" as used in
this subsection shall not refer to any Subcustodian and shall be limited to
agents selected to perform ancillary services, which shall mean by way of
illustration, and not of limitation, pricing and messenger services); or
(iii) the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or Affiliate of
Bank; it being understood that Bank shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in respect of this subparagraph (iii) where Bank used
reasonable care in the monitoring of a Subcustodian's financial condition as
reflected in its most recently published financial statements and other
publicly available financial information; provided that, the foregoing
exclusion of liability shall not apply to the extent that such insolvency
resulted from an act or omission that would constitute a basis of liability for
Bank under the standard of liability applicable to Bank under this Agreement in
respect of one or more custody functions for which Bank is responsible to
Customer hereunder.
(d) Neither Bank nor any Subcustodian shall be liable for the acts or
omissions of any Eligible Securities Depository (or, for purposes of clarity,
any domestic securities depository).
(e) In no event shall Bank incur liability hereunder if Bank or any
Subcustodian, or any nominee of Bank or any Subcustodian (each a "Person"), is
prevented, forbidden or delayed from performing, or omits to perform, any act
or thing which this Agreement provides shall be performed or omitted to be
performed, by reason of:
(i) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the
United States of America, or any state thereof, or any other country, or
political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent jurisdiction; or
(ii) events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the applicable
Person, including, without limitation, the interruption, suspension or
restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities market, power or
other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses
or communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, or other
similar events or acts, unless, in each case, such delay or nonperformance is
caused by (A) the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the applicable
Person, or (B) a malfunction or failure of equipment operated or utilized by
the applicable Person other than a malfunction or failure beyond such Person's
control and which could not be reasonably anticipated or prevented by such
Person (each such provision, event or circumstance being a "Force Majeure
Event").
(f) In no event shall Customer incur liability to Bank if it is prevented,
forbidden or delayed from performing, or omits to perform, any act or thing
which this Agreement provides shall be performed or omitted to be performed, by
reason of a Force Majeure Event.
(g) Customer shall indemnify and hold Bank and its directors, officers, agents
and employees (collectively the "Indemnitees") harmless from and against any
and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Indemnitees or any of them for following any Instructions or other directions
upon which Bank is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
or for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith, provided that such
action or omission is consistent with the standard of liability applicable to
Bank under this Agreement.
(h) In performing its obligations hereunder, Bank may rely on the genuineness
of any document which it believes in good faith to have been validly executed,
and shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel (which may
be counsel for Customer) on all matters, and shall be without liability for
action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice.
(i) Customer shall pay for and hold Bank harmless from any liability or loss
resulting from the imposition or assessment of any taxes or other governmental
charges, and any related expenses (including, without limitation, penalties,
interest or additions to tax due), with respect to income from or Assets in the
Accounts, provided that Bank has complied with the standard of care set forth
in Section 14(a) of this Agreement (it being understood that while Bank's
failure to comply with such standard of care shall constitute a breach of this
Agreement, Bank shall have no liability for taxes or governmental charges and
related expenses imposed or assessed with respect to such Assets prior to such
breach or that would have been imposed or assessed even absent such breach).
(j) Bank need not maintain any insurance for the benefit of Customer.
(k) Without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall not be liable for any Loss
which results from (i) the general risk of investing, or (ii) investing or
holding Assets in a particular country including, but not limited to, losses
resulting from nationalization, expropriation or other governmental actions;
regulation of the banking or securities industry; currency restrictions,
devaluations or fluctuations; and market conditions which prevent the orderly
execution of securities transactions or affect the value of Assets.
(l) Consistent with and without limiting the application of the foregoing
paragraphs of this Section 14, it is specifically acknowledged that Bank shall
have no duty or responsibility to:
(i) question Instructions or make any suggestions to Customer or an Authorized
Person regarding such Instructions;
(ii) supervise or make recommendations with respect to investments or the
retention of Financial Assets;
(iii) advise Customer or an Authorized Person regarding any default in the
payment of principal or income of any security other than as provided in
Section 8(c) hereof;
(iv) evaluate or report to Customer or an Authorized Person regarding the
financial condition of any broker, agent or other party to which Financial
Assets are delivered or payments are made pursuant hereto;
(v) review or reconcile trade confirmations received from brokers. Customer
or its Authorized Persons issuing Instructions shall bear any responsibility to
review such confirmations against Instructions issued to and statements issued
by Bank;
(vi) advise Customer or an Authorized Person regarding information (i) held on
a confidential basis by an officer, director or employee of Bank (or any
Affiliate of Bank) and (ii) obtained by such person in connection with the
provision of services or other activities unrelated to global custody; and
(vii) advise Customer or an Authorized Person promptly regarding corporate
action information obtained by an officer, director or employee of Bank (or any
Affiliate of Bank) who is not engaged directly in the provision of global
custody services.
(m) Customer authorizes Bank to act hereunder notwithstanding that Bank or any
of its divisions or Affiliates may have a material interest in a transaction,
or circumstances are such that Bank may have a potential conflict of duty or
interest including the fact that Bank or any of its Affiliates may provide
brokerage services to other customers, act as financial advisor to the issuer
of Financial Assets, act as a lender to the issuer of Financial Assets, act in
the same transaction as agent for more than one customer, have a material
interest in the issue of Financial Assets, or earn profits from any of the
activities listed herein.
(n) Upon the occurrence of any event which causes or may cause any Loss to the
other party, each of Customer and Bank shall (and Bank shall cause each
applicable Subcustodian to) use all commercially reasonable efforts and take
all reasonable steps under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of such
event and to avoid continuing harm to the other party. For this purpose, the
obligations of Customer and Bank to mitigate Losses (or potential Losses)
hereunder shall include (but shall not be limited to) the periodic review and
reconciliation by Bank and Customer (or Authorized Persons) of statements
provided to Customer under Section 10 of this Agreement; provided, however,
that Bank's obligations to Customer with respect to any transaction covered by
a given statement shall be reduced to the extent that Bank's ability to
mitigate damages related to such transaction has been compromised by Customer's
failure to object to such statement within 180 days of Customer's receipt
thereof.
15. BANK FEES AND EXPENSES.
Customer agrees to pay Bank for its services under this Agreement such amount
as may be agreed upon in writing. Customer agrees to reimburse Bank for its
reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses (including, without limitation,
legal fees) incurred on behalf of Customer, provided that, in respect of such
expenses, Bank has acted in conformity with the standard of care set forth in
Section 14 hereof. Bank shall obtain Customer's prior approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, of out-of-pocket or incidental expenses
that Bank reasonably expects to exceed $10,000 or that approaches $10,000
during the process of incurring such expenses. In the latter case, Customer
shall not withhold its approval on the ground that Bank had not obtained
Customer's approval prior to beginning to incur such expenses if Bank believed
in good faith that the subject expenses would not exceed $10,000. Subject to
the foregoing, Bank shall have a lien on and is authorized to charge any
Accounts of the Customer for any amount owing to the Bank under any provision
of this Agreement.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Foreign Exchange Transactions Other Than as Principal. Upon receipt of
Instructions, Bank shall settle foreign exchange contracts or options to
purchase and sell foreign currencies for spot and future delivery on behalf of
and for the account of Customer with such currency brokers or banking
institutions as Customer may determine and direct pursuant to Instructions.
Bank shall be responsible for the transmission of cash and instructions to and
from the currency broker or banking institution with which the contract or
option is made, the safekeeping of all certificates and other documents and
agreements evidencing or relating to such foreign exchange transactions and the
maintenance of proper records in accordance with this Agreement. Bank shall
have no duty with respect to the selection of currency brokers or banking
institutions with which Customer deals or, as long as Bank acts in accordance
with Instructions, for the failure of such brokers or banking institutions to
comply with the terms of any contract or option.
(b) Foreign Exchange Transactions as Principal. Bank shall not be obligated
to enter into foreign exchange transactions as principal. However, if and to
the extent that Bank makes available to Customer its services as principal in
foreign exchange transactions, upon receipt of Instructions, Bank shall enter
into foreign exchange contracts or options to purchase and sell foreign
currencies for spot and future delivery on behalf of and for the account of
Customer with Bank as principal. Instructions may be issued with respect to
such contracts but Bank may establish rules or limitations concerning any
foreign exchange facility made available. Bank shall be responsible for the
selection of currency brokers or banking institutions (which may include
Affiliates of Bank and Subcustodians) and the failure of such currency brokers
or banking institutions to comply with the terms of any contract or option.
(c) Certification of Residency, etc. Customer certifies that it is a resident
of the United States and shall notify Bank of any changes in residency. Bank
may rely upon this certification or the certification of such other facts as
may be required to administer Bank's obligations hereunder. Customer shall
indemnify Bank against all losses, liability, claims or demands arising
directly or indirectly from any such certifications.
(d) Custodian's Records; Access to Records. Bank shall provide any assistance
reasonably requested by Customer in the preparation of reports to Customer's
shareholders and others, audits of accounts, and other ministerial matters of
like nature. Bank shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to
Financial Assets and other Assets held for the account of Customer as required
by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable to investment companies registered under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. All such
books and records maintained by Bank shall be made available to Customer upon
request and shall, where required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940
Act, be preserved for the periods prescribed in Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act.
Bank shall allow Customer's independent public accountant 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 shall also obtain an
undertaking to permit Customer's independent public accountants reasonable
access to the records of any Subcustodian which has physical possession of any
Financial Assets as may be required in connection with the examination of
Customer's books and records. Bank shall not unreasonably refuse to furnish to
Customer such reports (or portions thereof) of Bank's external auditors as they
relate directly to the Bank's system of internal accounting controls applicable
to Bank's duties under this Agreement (commonly referred to as a "SAS 70
report"). Bank shall endeavor to obtain and furnish Customer with such similar
reports as Customer may reasonably request with respect to each Subcustodian
holding Assets of Customer. Except as respects Bank's SAS Report, as to which
there shall be no charge, the Customer shall pay expenses of the Bank and any
Subcustodians under this provision.
(e) Confidential Information. The parties hereto agree that each shall treat
confidentially all confidential information provided by each party to the other
regarding its business and operations in accordance with this Agreement. All
confidential information provided by a party hereto shall be used by the other
party hereto solely for the purpose of rendering services pursuant to this
Agreement and, except as may be required in carrying out this Agreement, shall
not be disclosed to a third party without the prior written consent of such
providing party. Confidential information for purposes hereof shall include
information traditionally recognized as confidential, such as financial
information, strategies, security practices, product and business proposals,
business plans, and the like. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any
information that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes
publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement, that is
generally furnished to third parties by the providing party without
confidentiality restriction, or that is required to be disclosed by any bank
examiner of Bank or any Subcustodian, any auditor of the parties hereto, by
judicial or administrative process or otherwise by applicable law or
regulation. For this purpose, Customer and any Authorized Person shall be
permitted to disclose any information provided by Bank hereunder to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (or its staff) in connection with any
inspection or examination or other action or proceeding.
(f) Governing Law; Successors and Assigns; Immunity; Captions. THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS
MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN NEW YORK and shall not be assigned by either party,
but shall bind the successors in interest of Customer and Bank. To the extent
that in any jurisdiction Customer or Bank may now or hereafter be entitled to
claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment
(before or after judgment) or other legal process, Customer or Bank, as the
