Representations of the Sub-Adviser The Sub-Adviser represents, warrants and agrees that: A. The Sub-Adviser is currently in material compliance and shall at all times continue to materially comply with the requirements imposed upon the Sub-Adviser by applicable law and regulations. B. The Sub-Adviser (i) is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this Agreement remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act or other law, regulation or order from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) has met and will seek to continue to meet for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, any other applicable federal or state requirements, or the applicable requirements of any regulatory or industry self-regulatory agency necessary to be met in order to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) has the authority to enter into and perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) will promptly notify the Advisor of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Sub-Adviser from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Investment Company Act or otherwise. The Sub-Adviser will also promptly notify the Fund and the Advisor if it is served or otherwise receives notice of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, involving the affairs of the Fund, provided, however, that routine regulatory examinations shall not be required to be reported by this provision. C. The Sub-Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act and will provide the Advisor and the Board with a copy of such code of ethics, together with evidence of its adoption. Within forty-five (45) days of the end of the last calendar quarter of each year that this Agreement is in effect, and as otherwise requested, the president, Chief Compliance Officer or a vice-president of the Sub-Adviser shall certify to the Advisor that the Sub-Adviser has complied with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 during the previous year and that there has been no material violation of the Sub-Adviser’s code of ethics or, if such a material violation has occurred, that appropriate action was taken in response to such violation. Upon the written request of the Advisor, the Sub-Adviser shall permit the Advisor, its employees or its agents to examine the reports required to be made to the Sub-Adviser by Rule 17j-1(c)(1) and Rule 204A-1(b) and all other records relevant to the Sub-Adviser’s code of ethics. D. The Sub-Adviser has provided the Fund and the Advisor with a copy of its Form ADV Parts 1 and 2, which as of the date of this Agreement is its Form ADV as most recently filed with the SEC, and promptly will furnish a copy of all amendments to the Fund and the Advisor at least annually. Such amendments shall reflect all changes in the Sub-Adviser’s organizational structure, professional staff or other significant developments affecting the Sub-Adviser, as required by the Advisers Act. E. The Sub-Adviser will notify the Fund and the Advisor of any assignment of this Agreement or change of control of the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, and any changes in the key personnel who are either the portfolio manager(s) of the Fund or senior management of the Sub-Adviser, in each case prior to or promptly after, such change. The Sub-Adviser agrees to bear all reasonable expenses of the Fund, if any, arising out of an assignment or change in control. F. The Sub-Adviser will promptly notify the Advisor of any financial condition that is likely to impair the Sub-Adviser’s ability to fulfill its commitment under this Agreement. G. The Sub-Adviser agrees to maintain an appropriate level of errors and omissions or professional liability insurance coverage and, upon the written request of the Advisor, provide evidence of such insurance coverage to the Advisor. H. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not, and will not, conflict with, or result in any violation or default under, any agreement to which Sub-Adviser or any of its Affiliates are a party.
Actions of the Bank The Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding assets held in the Accounts. However, until it receives Instructions to the contrary, the Bank will: (a) Present for payment any Securities 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 the Bank or Subcustodian is actually aware of such opportunities. (b) Execute in the name of the Customer such ownership and other certificates as may be required to obtain payments in respect of Securities. (c) Exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities for definitive Securities. (d) Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction involving the Securities, including, without limitation, affiliates of the Bank or any Subcustodian. (e) Issue statements to the Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, identifying the Assets in the Accounts. The Bank will send the 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. Unless the Customer sends the Bank a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt, the Customer shall be deemed to have approved such statement. The Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters set forth in such statement or reasonably implied therefrom as though it had been settled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action where the Customer and all persons having or claiming an interest in the Customer or the Customer’s Accounts were parties if: (a) the Customer has failed to provide a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt and where the Customer’s failure to so provide a written exception or objection within such ninety (90) day period has limited the Bank's (i) access to the records, materials and other information required to investigate the Customer’s exception or objection, and (ii) ability to recover from third parties any amounts for which the Bank may become liable in connection with such exception or objection, or (b) where the Customer has otherwise explicitly approved any such statement. All collections of funds or other property paid or distributed in respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall be made at the risk of the Customer. The Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of notice by the Bank or by its Subcustodians of any payment, redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the Custody Account in respect of which the Bank has agreed to take any action under this Agreement.
Instructions of the Company The Company shall have the right, by one or more instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for the realization of any right or remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or of exercising any power conferred on the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, or to direct the taking or refraining from taking of any action authorized by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take any action or omit to take any action which it deems proper and which is not inconsistent with such direction.
