The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed as set forth in Section 3.1 for any and all compensation (fees, expenses and other costs) paid and/or reimbursed to such counsel and/or professionals. The Escrow Agent may perform any and all of its duties through its agents, representatives, attorneys, custodians, and/or nominees.

Special Subcustodians and Additional Custodians Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 to the contrary and except as otherwise provided in any subcustodian agreement to which the Custodian, a Fund and any Special Subcustodian or Additional Custodian are parties, the Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any of its Portfolios resulting from the actions or omissions of a Special Subcustodian or Additional Subcustodian, unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided however, that in the event of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against any Special Subcustodian or Additional Custodian to protect the interests of the Funds and the Portfolios.
