Upon termination of the Agreement, the Fund shall pay to the Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination (and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its costs, expenses and disbursements). This Agreement may be amended at any time by the written agreement of the parties hereto. If a majority of the non-interested trustees of any of the Funds determines that the performance of the Custodian has been unsatisfactory or adverse to the interests of shareholders of any Fund or Funds or that the terms of the Agreement are no longer consistent with publicly available industry standards, then the Fund or Funds shall give written notice to the Custodian of such determination and the Custodian shall have 60 days to (1) correct such performance to the satisfaction of the non-interested trustees or (2) renegotiate terms which are satisfactory to the non-interested trustees of the Funds. If the conditions of the preceding sentence are not met then the Fund or Funds may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days written notice.

In the event that no written order designating a successor custodian shall have been delivered to the Bank on or before the date when such termination shall become effective, then the Bank shall not deliver the securities, funds and other properties of the Fund to the Fund but shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust company doing business in Boston, Massachusetts of its own selection meeting the above required qualifications, all funds, securities and properties of the Fund held by or deposited with the Bank, and all books of account and records kept by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, and all documents held by the Bank relative thereto.
