If and to the extent that there is an inconsistency between the terms of the body of the Agreement and its Schedules, Appendices and Annexes, the terms of the body of the Agreement shall prevail unless expressly stated otherwise.

WHAT ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ IS REQUIRED TO DO

Set Up Accounts

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will establish and maintain the following accounts (“Accounts”):

one or more accounts in the name of the Customer (or in another name requested by the Customer that is acceptable to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇) to which Financial Assets are or may be credited (each a “Securities Account”), which may be held by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Subcustodian or a Securities Depository for ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on behalf of the Customer, including as an Entitlement Holder; and

one or more cash accounts in the name of the Customer (each, a “Cash Account”) (or in another name requested by the Customer that is acceptable to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇) for any and all cash in any currency received by or on behalf of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the account of the Customer.

At the request of the Customer, additional Accounts may be opened in the future, and such additional Accounts shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

In the event that the Customer requests the opening of any additional Account for the purpose of holding collateral pledged by the Customer to a securities exchange, clearing corporation, or other central counterparty (a “Counterparty”) to secure trading activity by the Customer, or the pledge to a Counterparty of cash or individual Securities held in an Account, that Account (or the pledged cash or Securities) shall be subject to the collateral arrangements in effect between ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Counterparty in addition to the terms of this Agreement.

Upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Customer, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may close any Account for which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not received any Instructions for at least one (1) year or which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ otherwise reasonably determines to be dormant (each a “Dormant Account”). ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, upon closure of a Dormant Account, move any Account Assets in that Account into another Account of the Customer and, in the case of a cash payment, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is authorized to enter into any foreign exchange transactions with the Customer needed to facilitate the payment, as contemplated by Section 2.15.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligation to open Accounts pursuant to Section 2.1(a) is conditional upon ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receiving such of the following documents as ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may require:

a certified copy of the Customer’s constitutional documents as in force at the time of receipt;

evidence reasonably satisfactory to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the due authorization and execution of this Agreement by the Customer (for example by a certified copy of a resolution of the Customer’s board of directors or equivalent governing body);

in cases where the Customer designates an investment manager, evidence reasonably satisfactory to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of that appointment as an Authorized Person and of the

and employees of the investment manager authorized to act with respect to the relevant Account;

information about the Customer’s financial condition, such as its audited and unaudited financial statements; and

in the case of any Account opened in a name other than that of the Customer, documentation with respect to that name similar to that set forth in paragraphs (i) – (iv).

Deposit of Cash

Any cash in any currency received by or on behalf of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the account of the Customer will be either:

deposited in one or more Cash Accounts at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in New York or at one of its non- U.S. branch offices and will constitute a debt owing to the Customer by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as banker, provided that (A) any cash so deposited with a non-U.S. branch office will be payable exclusively by that branch office in the applicable currency, subject to compliance with Applicable Law, including, without limitation, any applicable currency restrictions and (B) while ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not required to pay or charge interest on any such Cash Account, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, from time to time, in its discretion, pay interest on any such Cash Account (or charge interest if, at the time, the prevailing interest rate in the relevant market for similar deposits in the same currency is negative) at a rate to be determined by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇; or

deposited in an account maintained in the name of the Customer at the Subcustodian in the relevant market, in which case the deposit will constitute a debt owing to the Customer by that Subcustodian as the Customer’s banker and not by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, payable exclusively in the applicable currency at that Subcustodian; for the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇ held in that account will not be part of the Cash Account(s). A list of markets for which this Section 2.2(a)(ii) applies will be made available on ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ website.

Any amounts credited by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Cash Account on the basis of a notice or a provisional credit from a third party, may be reversed if ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not receive final payment in a timely manner. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will notify the Customer promptly of any such reversal.

Segregation and Registration of Assets; Nominee Name

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will identify in its books that those Financial Assets credited to the Customer’s Securities Account belong to the Customer (except as may be otherwise agreed by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Customer).

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will require each Subcustodian to identify that Financial Assets held at such Subcustodian by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on behalf of its customers belong to customers of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, by means of differently titled accounts on the books of the Subcustodian or other equivalent measures that achieve the same level of protection.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is authorized, in its discretion to:

hold in bearer form such Financial Assets as are customarily held in bearer form or are delivered to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Subcustodian in bearer form;

hold Financial Assets in or deposit Financial Assets with any Securities Depository;

hold Financial Assets in omnibus accounts on a fungible basis and accept delivery of Financial Assets of the same class and denomination as those deposited by the Customer;

register in the name of the Customer, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository or their respective nominees, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in registered form; and

decline to accept any asset or property which it reasonably deems to be unsuitable or inconsistent with its custodial operations.

For the avoidance of doubt, unless ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided prior written approval, the Customer may not instruct a third party to register any Financial Asset in the name of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository or any of their respective nominees. The Customer agrees that any Financial Asset registered in the name of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository or any of their respective nominees without ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ authorization shall not be considered to be held in custody under this Agreement.

Settlement of Transactions

Subject to Section 3 and Section 4.2, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will act in accordance with Instructions with respect to settlement of transactions. Settlement of transactions will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Customer authorizes ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to deliver Financial Assets or cash payment in accordance with applicable market practice in advance of receipt or settlement of consideration expected in connection with such delivery or payment, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that such action alone will not of itself constitute negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the risk of loss arising from any such action will be borne by the Customer. If the Customer’s counterparty (or other appropriate party) fails to deliver the expected consideration as agreed, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will notify the Customer of such failure. If the Customer’s counterparty continues to fail to deliver the expected consideration, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will provide information reasonably requested by the Customer that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has in its possession to allow the Customer to enforce its rights against the Customer’s counterparty, but neither ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any similar action.

Except to the extent ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Customer have agreed to treat settlement of a transaction under the contractual settlement date accounting basis set forth in Section 2.5, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will post such transaction on the date on which the cash or Financial Assets received as consideration for the transaction is actually received and settled by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right to reverse any transactions that are credited to the Accounts due to mis-postings, errors and other similar actions, provided ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies the Customer of such reversal as soon as possible after the reversal.

Contractual Settlement Date Accounting

In cases where ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Customer agree to do so, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.5, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will effect book entries on a contractual settlement date accounting basis as described below with respect to the settlement for those Financial

and transactions as to which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ customarily offers contractual settlement date accounting.

Sales: On the settlement date for a sale, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale and post the Securities Account as pending delivery of the relevant Financial Assets.

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

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may reverse any book entries made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a transaction’s actual settlement upon notice to the Customer if ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reasonably believes that the transaction will not settle in the ordinary course within a reasonable time. The Customer will be responsible for any Liabilities resulting from such reversal. The Customer acknowledges that the procedures described in Section 2.5 are of an administrative nature, and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not undertake to make loans of cash and/or Financial Assets to the Customer.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will make available on its website a list of the markets for which it provides contractual settlement date accounting. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may add markets to or remove markets from the contractual settlement date accounting service upon notice to the Customer that is reasonable in the circumstances. Additionally, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of contractual settlement date accounting for credit or operational reasons, either for individual Financial Assets, types of Financial Assets, counterparties or markets, or overall.

Income Collection (AutoCredit^®)

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will monitor information publicly available in the applicable market about forthcoming income payments on the Financial Assets held in the Securities Account, and will promptly notify the Customer of such information.

Except in cases where ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to offer the AutoCredit service described in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.6, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be required to credit income on Financial Assets, net of any taxes withheld by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any third party, prior to actual receipt and reconciliation by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

In cases where ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to provide the following service, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will credit the Cash Account with the anticipated income proceeds on Financial Assets on the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any third party (such service hereinafter defined as “AutoCredit”) for those Financial Assets and/or markets for which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ customarily offers an AutoCredit service. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may reverse AutoCredit credits upon notice to the Customer if ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ within a reasonable period of time or the credit was incorrect. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will make available on its website a list of the markets for which it provides AutoCredit. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may add markets to or remove markets from the AutoCredit service upon notice to the Customer that is reasonable in the circumstances. Additionally, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of AutoCredit for credit or operational reasons, either for individual Financial Assets, types of Financial Assets, counterparties or markets, or overall.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will use reasonable efforts to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds and notify the Customer of the late payment; however, neither ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any similar action.

Miscellaneous Administrative Duties

Until ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives Instructions to the contrary, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will:

present all Financial Assets for which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received written 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;

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

exchange interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title.

In the event that, as a result of holding Financial Assets in an omnibus account, the Customer receives fractional interests in Financial Assets arising out of a corporate action or class action litigation, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will credit the Customer with the amount of cash the Customer would have received, as reasonably determined by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, had the Financial Assets not been held in an omnibus account, and the Customer shall relinquish to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ its interest in such fractional interests.

If some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Assets is called for redemption, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will allot the amount redeemed among ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ global custody customers who are the respective beneficial holders of such a class of Financial Assets in a manner that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ deems to be fair and equitable.

Corporate Actions

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will act in accordance with local market practice to obtain information concerning Corporate Actions that is publicly available in the local market. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ also will review information obtained from sources to which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ subscribes for information concerning such Corporate Actions. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will promptly provide that information (or summaries that reflect the material points concerning the applicable Corporate Action) to the Customer or its Authorized Person.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such Corporate Actions. If the Customer fails to provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action, neither ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nor its Subcustodians or their respective nominees will take any action in relation to that Corporate Action, except as otherwise agreed in writing by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Customer or as may be set forth by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a default action in the notification it provides under Section 2.8(a) with respect to that Corporate Action.

Securities Litigation Services

Proxies

With respect to U.S. Financial Assets and, in cases where the Customer elects to subscribe to the service described in this Section 2.10, other Financial Assets, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will monitor information distributed to holders of Financial Assets about upcoming shareholder meetings, promptly notify the Customer of such information and, subject to Section 2.10(c), act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such meetings (the “Proxy Voting Service”).

The Proxy Voting Service is available only in certain markets and for certain types of Financial Assets, details of which are available from ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on request. Provision of the Proxy Voting Service is conditional upon receipt by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of a duly completed enrollment form as well as all documentation that may be required for certain markets.

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 ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on a case by case basis.

The 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:

the Financial Assets being on loan or out for registration;

the pendency of conversion or another corporate action;

the Financial Assets being held in a margin or collateral account at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or another bank or broker, pledged to a Counterparty, or otherwise in a manner which affects voting;

local law or market practices, or restrictions by the issuer; and

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ being required to vote all shares held for a particular issue for all of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ customers on a uniform basis (i.e., a “yes” or “no” vote for the total position based on net voting instructions received from all its customers). Where this is the case, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will notify the Customer.

Statements of Account

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will provide the Customer with electronic access to Account information (the “Information”) that will enable the Customer to generate or receive reports and statements of account for each Account and to identify Account Assets as well as Account transactions. The Customer will review the Information and give ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ written notice of (i) any suspected error or omission or (ii) the Customer’s inability to access any such Information. The Customer will provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ such notice within a reasonable time after (x) the Information is made available to the Customer or (y) the Customer discovers that it is unable to access the Information, as the case may be.

The Customer acknowledges that Information available to it electronically with respect to transactions posted after the close of the prior business day may not be accurate due to mis- postings, delays in updating Account records, and other causes. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not be liable for any Liabilities arising out of any such information accessed electronically that is

Access to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Records

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will, upon reasonable written notice, allow the Customer (and/or the Customer’s auditors and independent public accountants if required for their examination of books and records pertaining to the Customer’s affairs) reasonable access to the records of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ relating to the Accounts. Subject to restrictions under the relevant local law, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall direct any Subcustodian to permit the Customer and its auditors and independent public accountants, reasonable access to the Subcustodian’s records of Financial Assets held in the Securities Account as may be required in connection with such examination.

The Customer shall reimburse ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subcustodians for the reasonable cost of copying, collating and researching archived information.

Maintenance of Financial Assets at Subcustodian Locations

Restricted Services

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall post on its website from time to time information regarding jurisdictions for which it supports custody services; ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right to refuse to accept delivery of Financial Assets or cash in jurisdictions other than those on the list.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right to reasonably restrict the Customer’s access to the services ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ provides in, and the Liabilities it incurs with respect to, certain jurisdictions, and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall notify Customers of [any such restrictions via its website from time to time].

In the event a Subcustodian exits the market in which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ previously appointed it to provide custodial services, or is unable to continue to provide custodial services to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ satisfaction, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may (i) remove such Subcustodian from the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ network in accordance with Section 5.1(d), and/or (ii) cease to provide custodial services in such market.

Foreign Exchange Transactions

Assets Not Controlled by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not be obliged to (i) hold Account Assets with any person not agreed to by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or (ii) register or record Financial Assets in the name of any person other than ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Subcustodian, or their respective nominee or (iii) register or record Financial Assets in the name of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its nominee if ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concludes cannot be operationally supported or (iv) register or record on ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ records Financial Assets or cash held outside of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ control. If, however, the Customer makes any such request and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to the request, the consequences of doing so will be at the Customer’s own risk. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be responsible for the control of any such Financial Asset or cash, for verifying the Customer’s initial or ongoing ownership of any such Financial Asset or cash or for income collection, proxy voting, class action litigation or Corporate Action notification and processing with respect to any such Financial Asset. Any transaction relating to the settlement of the purchase or sale of any such Financial Asset shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a cash only movement.

From time to time, at the Customer’s request, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may agree to hold in its vault on the Customer’s behalf documentation relating to Financial Assets not held in ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be responsible for reviewing this documentation for any purpose, including authenticity, sufficiency or relevance to the Financial Asset to which it purports to relate.

Change Requests

If either party wishes to propose any amendment or modification to, or variation of, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ services contemplated by this Agreement including the scope or details of the services (a “Change”) then it shall notify the other party of that fact by sending a request (a “Change Request”) to the other party, specifying in as much detail as is reasonably practicable the nature of the Change.

Promptly following the receipt of a Change Request, the parties shall agree whether to implement the Change Request, whether implementation of the Change Request should result in a modification of the fees contemplated by Section 4.1, and the basis upon which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be compensated for implementing the Change Request.

If a change to Applicable Law requires a Change, the parties shall follow the processes set forth in this Section to initiate a Change Request. If the change in Applicable Law results in a Change, or an increase in ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ costs or risk associated with provision of its services contemplated by this Agreement, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a reasonable increase in fees commenserate with the change in costs or risks associated with providing the services due to the change in Applicable Law. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to request an appropriate increase in the fees contemplated by Section 4.1. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall bear its own costs with respect to implementing a Change Request based upon a change in Applicable Law except that:

The parties agree to negotiate in good faith a charge to the Customer for any changes to software that has been developed or customized for the Customer; and

The parties agree negotiate in good faith a charge to the Customer for any Changes required as a result of the change in Applicable Law affecting the Customer in a materially different way than it affects ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ other customers, or which the

Customer’s board of directors (or equivalent body) (hereinafter ‘Board’) hereby delegates to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and, except as to the country or countries as to which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, from time to time, advise Customer that it does not accept such delegation, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Subcustodians to hold foreign Financial Assets and Cash, (ii) evaluating the contractual arrangements with such Subcustodians (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(2)), (iii) monitoring such foreign custody arrangements (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(3)).

In connection with the foregoing, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall:

provide written reports notifying Customer’s Board of the placement of Financial Assets and Cash with particular Subcustodians and of any material change in the arrangements with such Subcustodians, 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 Subcustodians and with reasonable promptness upon the occurrence of any material change in the arrangements with such Subcustodians);

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;

have established a system to monitor the continued appropriateness of maintaining foreign Financial Assets and cash with particular Subcustodians and of the governing contractual arrangements; it being understood, however, that in the event that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have determined that the existing Subcustodian in a given country would no longer afford foreign Financial Assets and cash reasonable care and that no other Subcustodian in that country would afford reasonable care, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use reasonable efforts for markets for which it is acting as Foreign Custody Manager to use as its Subcustodians entities that are Eligible Foreign Subcustodians. In cases where due to (i) Applicable Law in a market or (ii) market practice or market conditions it is not practicable to have the subcustody services performed by an Eligible Foreign Custodian, J.P.

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.

In addition, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and each Subcustodian may deposit Financial Assets with, and hold Financial Assets in any Securities Depository on such terms as such Securities Depository customarily operates, and the Customer will provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with such documentation or acknowledgements that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may require to hold the Financial Assets in such Securities Depository. On the basis of such terms, a Securities Depository may have a security interest or lien over, or right of set-off in relation to the Financial Assets.

Any agreement that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ enters into with a Subcustodian for holding ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ customers’ assets will provide (i) 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 (ii) that the beneficial ownership thereof will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration, unless in each case required otherwise by Applicable Law in the relevant market. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for all claims for payment of fees for safe custody or administration so that no Subcustodian exercises any claim for such payment against the Customer’s assets.

Liability for Subcustodians and Securities Depositories

Subject to Section 7.1(b), ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be liable for direct Liabilities incurred by the Customer that result from:

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; or

the insolvency of any Affiliated Subcustodian Bank.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will use reasonable care in the selection, monitoring and continued appointment of Subcustodians. Subject to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ duty in the foregoing sentence and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ 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 ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in its oversight process, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not be responsible for any losses (whether direct or indirect) incurred by the Customer that result from the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or an Affiliated Subcustodian Bank.

In the event the Customer incurs any Liabilities due to an act or omission, negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or insolvency of a Securities Depository, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will make reasonable efforts, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any similar action.

The Customer to Provide Certain Information to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇

Information Concerning Deposits Held by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the U.S.

If the Customer’s Account is eligible for “pass through” deposit insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) as set forth in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and 12 CFR § 330, then the Customer acknowledges and agrees that if ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ becomes insolvent or enters into receivership (hereinafter a “Bank Receivership”), the Customer will: (i) cooperate fully with ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the FDIC in connection with determining the insured status of funds in each Account, and (ii) provide the FDIC with the information that identifies each beneficial owner and its interest in the funds in each such Account within 24 hours of the Bank Receivership, unless it falls within one of the enumerated exceptions in 12 CFR 370.5(b). The information described in (b) must be sent to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the format specified by the FDIC (see: ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇). ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide the Customer an opportunity to validate its capability to deliver the information described in (ii) in the format specified by the FDIC so that a timely calculation of deposit insurance coverage for the Account can be completed.

The Customer further acknowledges and agrees that following a Bank Receivership: (i) a hold will be placed on each Account once a receiver of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is appointed so that the FDIC can conduct the deposit insurance determination and such hold will not be released until the FDIC obtains the necessary data to enable the FDIC to calculate the deposit insurance coverage for each Account; (ii) its failure to provide the necessary data to the FDIC may result in a delay in receipt of insured funds and legal claims against the Customer from the beneficial owners of the funds in the applicable Account; and (iii) failure to provide the data the FDIC requires may result in the applicable Account being frozen until the information is received, delaying receipt of FDIC insurance proceeds.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, this section survives after the FDIC is appointed as ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ receiver, and the FDIC is considered a third party beneficiary of this section.

Information Concerning Deposits at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Non-U.S. Branches

Under U.S. federal law, deposit accounts that the Customer maintains in ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ foreign branches (outside of the U.S.) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In the event of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ liquidation, foreign branch deposits have a lesser preference than U.S. deposits, and such foreign deposits are subject to cross-border risks.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ London Branch is a participant in the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the “FSCS”), and the following terms apply to the extent any amount standing to the credit of the Cash Account is deposited in one or more deposit accounts at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ London Branch. The terms of the FSCS offer protection in connection with deposits to certain types of claimants to whom ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ London Branch provides services in the event that they suffer a financial loss as a direct consequence of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ London Branch being unable to meet any of its obligations and, subject to the FSCS rules regarding eligible deposits, the Customer may have a right to claim compensation from the FSCS. Subject to the FSCS rules, the maximum compensation payable by the FSCS in relation to eligible deposits is as set out in the relevant information sheet which is available online as referenced below. For the purposes of establishing such maximum compensation, all the Customer’s eligible deposits at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ London Branch are aggregated and the total is subject to such maximum compensation.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that deposit accounts maintained under this Agreement at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ London Branch are intended to be used solely for purposes relating to the investment and asset servicing services contemplated by this Agreement, and the Customer agrees that it will not give Instructions to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to process payment transactions relating to those deposit accounts for any other purposes.

Security Holding Disclosure

Regulatory Disclosure; Certain Information of the Customer

Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Customer acknowledges that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ identity verification procedures require ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Customer’s identity, including, without limitation, the Customer’s name, address and organizational documents (“Identifying Information”). The Customer agrees to provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with and consents to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ obtaining from third parties any such Identifying Information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

The European Union’s Central Securities Depositories Regulation requires that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ offer the Customer the choice of maintaining Financial Assets held through certain Securities Depositories in which ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is a direct participant in omnibus or segregated accounts. As of the date of this Agreement, this choice is available with respect to the Customer’s Financial Assets held at Euroclear and Clearstream. Information on the Securities Depositories to which this choice is subject and the costs and risks associated with each option is available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. In the absence of Instructions from the Customer to the contrary, its Financial Assets held in these Securities Depositories will be held in omnibus accounts.

The Customer hereby acknowledges that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is obliged to comply with AML/Sanctions Requirements and that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be liable for any action it or any ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliate reasonably takes to comply with any AML/Sanctions Requirements, including identifying and reporting suspicious transactions, rejecting transactions, and blocking or freezing funds, Financial Assets, or other assets. The Customer shall cooperate with ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ performance of its due diligence and other obligations concerning AML/Sanctions Requirements, including with regard to any Beneficial Owners (as defined below). In addition, the Customer agrees that (i) ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may defer acting upon an Instruction pending completion of any review under its policies and procedures for compliance with AML/Sanctions Requirements and (ii) Customer’s utilization of Accounts as omnibus accounts to hold assets of Beneficial Owners is subject to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ discretion. Furthermore, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be obliged to hold any “▇▇▇▇▇ stock” (or other Financial Asset raising special anti-money laundering concerns) in any Account in which a Beneficial Owner has an interest, or to settle any transaction in which a Beneficial Owner has an interest, that relates to any “▇▇▇▇▇ stock” or any such other Financial Asset. For the purposes of this section, “Beneficial Owner” means any person, other than the Customer, who has a direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in any assets held in any of the Accounts.

Confidentiality

Subject to Section 6.10(b), ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will hold all Confidential Information in confidence and will not disclose any Confidential Information except as may be required by Applicable Law, a regulator with jurisdiction over ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ business, or with the consent of the Customer.

The Customer authorizes ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to disclose Confidential Information to:

any Subcustodian, subcontractor, agent, Securities Depository, securities exchange, broker, proxy solicitor, issuer, service provider, vendor or any other person that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ believes is reasonably required in connection with ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ provision of relevant services under this Agreement;

its and any ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s professional advisors, auditors and public accountants;

its branches and any ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliate; and

any revenue authority or any governmental entity in relation to the processing of any tax claim.

WHEN ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ IS LIABLE TO THE CUSTOMER

Standard of Care; Liability

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will use reasonable care in performing its obligations under this Agreement. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not be in violation of this Agreement with respect to any matter as to which it has satisfied its obligation of reasonable care.

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will only be liable for the Customer’s direct Liabilities and only to the extent (i) they result from ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ fraud, negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties as set out in this Agreement and (ii) provided in Section 5.2(a). Under no circumstances will ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ be liable for (i) any loss of profits (whether direct or indirect) or (ii) any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages 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, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ performance or non-performance under this Agreement, or ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ role as custodian or banker.

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

The Customer agrees that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ provides no service in relation to, and therefore has no duty or responsibility to: (i) question Instructions or make any suggestions to the 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 the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding any default in the payment of principal or income on any Financial

Force Majeure

Country Risk

The Customer acknowledges that (i) investing in Financial Assets and cash in foreign jurisdictions may involve risks of loss or other burdens and costs, and (ii) it remains responsible for assessing and managing investment-related exposures arising out of Country Risk. Accordingly, the Customer agrees that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not be responsible for any Liabilities resulting from Country Risk. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.3a(a) does not impact ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ liability with respect to Liabilities that do not result from Country Risk.

In cases where a Country Risk Event occurs in a particular market, any amounts credited by ▇.▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Cash Account as a result of any transaction or Instruction (including but not limited to securities settlements, asset servicing (which may include payments), or foreign exchange transactions) in such market may be conditional and may be subject to reversal by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

Without limiting the generality of Section 7.2, if a Country Risk Event leads to restrictions on, or losses of, cash or cash equivalents held by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Affiliated Subcustodian Bank in any market for the purposes of facilitating ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ global custody business, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may in its sole discretion apply the impact of those restrictions or losses to the relevant currency held in the Customer’s Cash Accounts in a proportional manner as ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may reasonably determine.

TAXATION

Tax Obligations

The Customer will pay or reimburse ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and confirms that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is authorized to deduct from any cash received or credited to the Cash Account, any taxes or levies required by any revenue or governmental authority for whatever reason in respect of the Customer’s Accounts.

The Customer will provide to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ such certifications, declarations, documentation, and information as it may require in connection with taxation, and warrants that, when given, this information is true and correct in every respect, not misleading in any way, and contains all material information.

If ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not receive appropriate certifications, documentation and information then, as and when appropriate and required, tax shall be deducted from all income received in respect of the Financial Assets issued (including, but not limited to, withholding under United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, United States non-resident alien tax and/or backup withholding tax, as applicable).

The Customer will be responsible in all events for the timely payment of all taxes relating to the Financial Assets in the Securities Account; provided, however, that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be

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

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will perform tax relief services only with respect to taxation levied by the revenue authorities of the countries advised to the Customer from time to time and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, by notification in writing, in its absolute discretion, supplement or amend the countries in which the tax relief services are offered.

Exit Procedure

The Customer will provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ full details of the persons to whom ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ must deliver Account Assets within a reasonable period before the effective time of termination of this Agreement.

The Customer will reimburse ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ promptly for all out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in delivering Financial Assets upon termination.

Upon termination, the Customer will provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with contact information and payment instructions for any matters arising after termination.
