2. WHAT THE BANK IS REQUIRED TO
DO
2.1 Set
Up Accounts
|
(a)
|
Bank
will establish and maintain the following accounts
("Accounts"):
|
|
|
(i)
|
one
or more Securities Accounts in the name of Customer (or in another name
requested by the Customer that is acceptable to Bank) for Financial
Assets, which may be held by Bank or its Subcustodian or a Securities
Depository for Bank on behalf of the Customer, including as an Entitlement
Holder; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
one
or more accounts in the name of Customer (or in another name requested by
the Customer that is acceptable to Bank) ("Cash Account") for any and all
cash in any currency received by or on behalf of Bank for the account of
Customer.
|
Notwithstanding
paragraph (ii), cash held in respect of those markets where Customer is required
to have a cash account in its own name held directly with the relevant
Subcustodian or Securities Depository will be held in that manner and will not
be part of the Cash Account.
|
|
(b)
|
At
the request of Customer, additional Accounts may be opened in the future,
which will be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Bank’s
obligation to open Accounts pursuant to Section 2.1(a) is conditional upon
Bank receiving such of the following documents as Bank may
require:
|
|
|
(i)
|
a
certified copy of the Customer's constitutional documents as currently in
force;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
a
certified copy of a resolution of the Customer's board of directors or
equivalent governing body, substantially in the form set out in Schedule
4;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
Bank’s
standard form fund manager mandate (in the form set out in Appendix A),
completed by any persons designated in Schedule 3;
and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
in
the case of any Account opened in a name not that of the Customer,
documentation with respect to that name similar to that set forth in
sub-sections (i) – (iii).
|
2.2 Cash
Account
|
|
(a)
|
Any
amount standing to the credit of the Cash Account is a debt due from Bank
to Customer as banker. Except as otherwise provided in
Instructions acceptable to Bank, all cash held in the Cash Account will be
deposited during the period it is credited to the Accounts in one or more
deposit accounts at Bank or at Bank’s London Branch. Any cash so deposited
with Bank’s London Branch will be payable exclusively by Bank’s London
Branch in the applicable currency, subject to compliance with Applicable
Law, including, without limitation, any restrictions on transactions in
the applicable currency imposed by the country of the applicable
currency.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Any
amounts credited by Bank to the Cash Account on the basis of a notice or
an interim credit from a third party, may be reversed if Bank does not
receive final payment in a timely manner. Bank will notify the Customer
promptly of any such reversal.
|
2.3 Segregation
of Assets; Nominee Name
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will identify in its books that Financial Assets credited to Customer’s
Securities Account belong to Customer (except as otherwise may be agreed
by Bank and Customer).
|
|
|
(b)
|
To
the extent permitted by Applicable Law or market practice, Bank will
require each Subcustodian to identify in its own books that Financial
Assets held at such Subcustodian by Bank on behalf of its customers belong
to customers of Bank, such that it is readily apparent that the Financial
Assets do not belong to Bank or the
Subcustodian.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Bank
is authorized, in its discretion,
|
|
|
(i)
|
to
hold in bearer form, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in
bearer form or are delivered to Bank or its Subcustodian in bearer
form;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
to
hold Securities in or deposit Securities with any Securities
Depository;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
to
hold Securities in omnibus accounts on a fungible basis and to accept
delivery of Securities of the same class and denomination as those
deposited with Bank or its Subcustodian;
and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
to
register in the name of Customer, Bank, a Subcustodian, a Securities
Depository, or their respective nominees, such Financial Assets as are
customarily held in registered
form.
|
2.4 Settlement
of Transactions
Subject
to Article 3 and Section 4.2 of this Agreement, Bank will act in accordance with
Instructions with respect to settlement of transactions. Settlement
will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which
the transaction occurs provided that such standards are generally accepted by
Institutional Clients. For the avoidance of doubt, such standards shall include
practices regarding delivery against receipt or delivery in advance of receipt
that may be prevailing in the applicable market for the type of transaction
being settled. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
unless otherwise directed by Customer, the risk of loss will be Bank’s if it
makes delivery before receipt in a market where delivery versus receipt is the
prevailing market standard and is generally accepted by Institutional Clients,
and the risk of loss will be Customer’s whenever Bank makes delivery when
directed by Customer or in accordance with the prevailing market standard
generally accepted by Institutional Clients. In the case of the
failure of Customer’s counterparty (or other appropriate party) to deliver the
expected consideration as agreed, Bank will contact the counterparty to seek
settlement and will promptly notify the Customer of such failure.
For
purposes of this Section 2.4, “Institutional Clients” means U.S. registered
investment companies, U.S.-based commercial banks, insurance companies, pension
funds or substantially similar financial institutions.
2.5 Contractual
Settlement Date Accounting
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will effect book entries on a contractual settlement date accounting basis
as described below with respect to the settlement of transactions in those
markets where Bank generally offers contractual settlement date
accounting.
|
|
|
(i)
|
Sales:
On the settlement date for a sale, Bank will credit the Cash Account with
the proceeds of the sale and transfer the relevant Financial Assets to an
account at Bank pending settlement of the transaction where not already
delivered.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Purchases:
On the settlement date for the purchase (or earlier, if market practice
requires delivery of the purchase price before the settlement date), Bank
will debit the Cash Account for the settlement amount and credit a
separate account at Bank. Bank then will post the Securities Account as
awaiting receipt of the expected Financial Assets. Customer will not be
entitled to the delivery of Financial Assets that are awaiting receipt
until Bank or a Subcustodian actually receives
them.
|
Upon
request, Bank shall provide the Customer with a list of those markets for which
it provides contractual settlement date accounting. Bank may add
markets to or remove markets from this list upon notice to the Customer that is
reasonable in the circumstances.
|
|
(b)
|
Bank
may reverse any debit or credit made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a
transaction's actual settlement upon notice to the Customer in cases where
Bank reasonably believes that the transaction will not settle in the
ordinary course within a reasonable time. The Customer will be
responsible for any reasonable costs or liabilities resulting from such
reversal. The Customer acknowledges that the procedures
described in Section 2.5 are of an administrative nature, and Bank does
not undertake to make loans and/or Financial Assets available to
Customer.
|
2.6 Actual
Settlement Date Accounting
With
respect to settlement of a transaction that is not posted to the Account on the
contractual settlement date as referred to in Section 2.5, Bank will post the
transaction on the date on which the cash or Financial Assets received as
consideration for the transaction is actually received and cleared by
Bank.
2.7 Income
Collection (AutoCreditâ)
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will monitor information publicly available in the applicable market about
forthcoming income payments on the Financial Assets, and will promptly
notify the Customer of such
information.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Bank
will credit the Cash Account with income proceeds on Financial Assets on
the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by Bank
or any third party (“AutoCredit”) in those markets where Bank customarily
provides an AutoCredit service. Upon request, Bank shall
provide the Customer with a list of AutoCredit eligible
markets. Bank may add markets to or remove markets from
the list of AutoCredit markets upon notice to the Customer that is
reasonable in the circumstances. Bank may reverse AutoCredit
credits upon oral or written notification to the Customer if Bank believes
that the corresponding payment will not be received by Bank within a
reasonable period or the credit was
incorrect.
|
|
|
(c)
|
In
markets where Bank does not provide an AutoCredit service, income on
Financial Assets (net of any taxes withheld by Bank or any third party)
will be credited only after actual receipt and
reconciliation.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Bank
will use reasonable efforts to contact appropriate parties to collect
unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds and promptly notify the
Customer of the late payment. Upon request Bank will provide
Customer’s investment manager with documentation related to any such
claim.
|
2.8 Miscellaneous
Administrative Duties
|
|
(a)
|
Until
Bank receives Instructions to the contrary, Bank
will:
|
|
|
(i)
|
present
all Financial Assets for which Bank has received 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;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
execute
in the name of Customer such certificates as may be required to obtain
payment in respect of Financial Assets;
and
|
|
|
(iii)
|
exchange
interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for
definitive documents of title.
|
|
|
(b)
|
In
the event that, as a result of holding of Financial Assets in an omnibus
account, Customer receives fractional interests in Financial Assets
arising out of a
Corporate Action or class action litigation,
Bank will credit Customer with the amount of cash it would have received
had the Financial Assets not been held in an omnibus account, and Customer
shall relinquish to Bank its interest in such fractional
interests.
|
|
|
(c)
|
If
some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Assets is called
for redemption, Bank may allot the amount redeemed among the respective
beneficial holders of such a
class of Financial Assets on a pro rata basis or in a similar manner Bank
reasonably deems fair and equitable consistent with applicable
law.
|
2.9 Corporate
Actions
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will act in accordance with local market practice to obtain information
concerning Corporate Actions that is publicly available in the local
market. Bank also will review information obtained from sources
to which it subscribes for information concerning such Corporate
Actions. Bank will promptly provide that information (or
summaries that accurately reflect the material points concerning the
applicable Corporate Action) to Customer or its Authorized
Person.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Bank
will act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to
such Corporate Actions. If the Customer fails to provide Bank
with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action, neither
Bank nor its Subcustodians or their respective nominees will take any
action in relation to that Corporate Action, except as otherwise agreed in
writing by Bank and the Customer or as may be set forth by Bank as a
default action in the notification it provides under Section 2.9(a) with
respect to that Corporate Action.
|
2.10 Class
Action Litigation
Any
notices received by Bank’s corporate actions department about settled securities
class action litigation that requires action by affected owners of the
underlying Financial Assets will be promptly notified to Customer if Bank, using
reasonable care and diligence in the circumstances, identifies that Customer was
a shareholder and held the relevant Financial Assets in custody with Bank at the
relevant time. Bank’s responsibility with respect to enrolling
Customer in an identified securities class action will be governed by a separate
Class Action Agreement with Bank.
2.11 Proxies
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will monitor information distributed to holders of Financial Assets about
upcoming shareholder meetings, promptly notify the Customer (or Customer’s
designated proxy voting agent or sub-advisers) of such information,
provide U.S. proxy materials to the Customer’s designated proxy voting
agent or sub-advisers, and, subject to Section 2.11(c), act in accordance
with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such meetings ("the Proxy
Voting Service").
|
|
|
(b)
|
The
Proxy Voting Service is available only in certain markets, details of
which are available from Bank on request. Provision of the
Proxy Voting Service is conditional upon receipt by Bank of a duly
completed enrolment form as well as additional documentation that may be
required for certain markets.
|
|
|
(c)
|
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 Bank on a case by case
basis.
|
|
|
(d)
|
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:
|
|
|
(i)
|
the
Financial Assets being on loan or out for
registration;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
the
pendency of conversion or another corporate
action;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Financial Assets being held in a margin or collateral account at Bank or
another bank or broker, or otherwise in a manner which affects
voting;
|
|
|
(iv)
|
local
market regulations or practices, or restrictions by the issuer;
and
|
|
|
(v)
|
Bank
being required to vote all shares held for a particular issue for all of
Bank’s customers on a net basis (i.e. a net yes or no vote based on voting
instructions received from all its customers). Where this is the case,
Bank will inform Customer by means of the
Notification.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Notwithstanding
the fact that Bank may act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to
Customer under other agreements, in performing Proxy Voting Service, Bank
will be acting solely as the agent of Customer, and will not exercise any
discretion, with regard to such Proxy Voting Service or vote any proxy
except when directed by an Authorized
Person.
|
2.12 Statements
of Account
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will provide Customer with a statement of account for each Account,
identifying cash and Financial Assets held in the Account and any
transfers to and from the Account. If agreed by the parties, statements of
account will be accessed by the Customer on-line. Otherwise, statements
will be sent to Customer at times to be mutually agreed by the
parties. Customer will review its statement of account and give
Bank written notice of any suspected error or omission within a reasonable
time of the date of the relevant suspected error or
omission.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Customer
acknowledges that information available to it on-line with respect to
intraday 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. Bank will not be liable for
any loss or damage arising out of the inaccuracy of any such information
accessed on-line. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer may rely
on the accuracy of any intraday report to the extent that such report (i)
explicitly states it is a final report or (ii) contains historical data
that has been posted prior to the current business
day.

foreign exchange contracts and facilities through its Affiliates or
Subcustodians. Instructions, including standing Instructions, may be
issued with respect to such contracts, but Bank may establish rules or
limitations concerning any foreign exchange facility made
available. In all cases where Bank, its Affiliates or Subcustodians

transactions for the Accounts, the terms and conditions of that foreign exchange
contract and, to the extent not inconsistent, this Agreement, will apply to such

|
|
|
(b)
|
Customer
will where reasonably practicable use automated and electronic methods of

|
|
|
(c)
|
Bank
shall promptly notify an Authorized Person if Bank determines that an

|
|
|

and Security Procedures
|
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
and Customer shall from time to time agree upon security procedures to be
followed by Customer upon the issuance of an instruction and/or by Bank
upon the receipt of an instruction, so as to enable Bank to verify that
such instruction is authorized (“Security Procedures”). A Security
Procedure may, without limitation, involve the use of algorithms, codes,
passwords, encryption and telephone call backs. The Customer acknowledges
that Security Procedures are designed to verify the authenticity of, and
not detect errors in, instructions. For the avoidance of doubt, the
parties agree that a SWIFT message issued in the name of the Customer
through any third party utility agreed upon by the parties as being a
method for providing Instructions and authenticated in accordance with
that utility’s customary procedures, shall be deemed to be an authorised
Instruction.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Bank
and Customer shall ensure that any codes, passwords or similar devices are
reasonably safeguarded.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Either
party may record any of their telephone communications, provided such

management.
|
|
|
3.3
|
Instructions;
Contrary to Law/Market Practice

Bank need
not act upon Instructions which it reasonably believes to be contrary to law,
regulation or market practice, but Bank will be under no duty to investigate
whether any Instructions comply with Applicable Law or market
practice.
|
|
3.4
|
Cut-Off
Times
|
Bank has
established cut-off times for receipt of Instructions, which will be made
available to Customer. If Bank receives an Instruction after its

practicable after that day.
|
|

OWING TO BANK
|
|
|
4.1
|
Fees
and Expenses
|
Customer
will pay Bank for its services under this Agreement such fees as may be agreed
upon in writing from time to time, together with Bank's reasonable out-of-pocket
or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and tax or
related fees incidental to processing charged directly or indirectly by
governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents. The Bank will invoice the
Customer for amounts owing to it and such amounts will be payable within thirty
(30) days of the invoice. The Bank will be entitled to deduct amounts
owing to it from the Cash Account if the Customer has not objected to the
invoice within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice (or such other period
as the parties may agree in writing). If the Customer disputes an
invoice it shall nevertheless pay, or allow the Bank to deduct, such portion of
the invoice that is not subject to a bona fide dispute. Without
prejudice to Bank’s other rights, the Bank reserves the right to charge interest
on overdue amounts from the due date until actual payment at such rate as the
Bank may reasonably determine.
|
|
4.2
|
Overdrafts
|
If a
debit to any currency in the Cash Account results in a debit balance, then Bank
may, in its discretion, (i) advance an amount equal to the overdraft, (ii) or
refuse to settle in whole or in part the transaction causing such debit balance,
or (iii) if any such transaction is posted to the Securities Account, reverse
any such posting. If Bank elects to make such an advance, the advance
will be deemed a loan to Customer, payable on demand, bearing interest at a rate
of, Fed Funds plus 150 BPS or such other rate that has been communicated with
Customer for such overdrafts, from the date of such advance to the date of
payment (both after as well as before judgement). No prior action or
course of dealing on Bank’s part with respect to the settlement of transactions
on Customer’s behalf will be asserted by Customer against Bank for Bank’s
refusal to make advances to the Cash Account or to settle any transaction for
which Customer does not have sufficient available funds in the applicable
currency in the Account. The Customer will be promptly notified via
electronic notice of an overdraft balance in the Cash Account.
|
|

Right Over Securities; Set-off
|
|
|
(a)
|
Without
prejudice to Bank’s rights under Applicable Law, until satisfaction of all
undisputed Liabilities (other than unpaid fees to Bank for its services
under this Agreement) outstanding from time to time (whether actual or
contingent) of Customer under or in connection with this Agreement, Bank
shall have, and Customer shall grant to Bank a security interest in and a
lien on the Financial Assets held in the Securities Account and Bank shall
be entitled without notice to Customer, to withhold delivery of such
Financial Assets, sell or otherwise realize any of such Financial Assets
and to apply the proceeds and any other monies credited to the Cash
Account in satisfaction of such
undisputed Liabilities. For this purpose, Bank may
make such currency conversions as may be necessary at its then current
rates for the sale and purchase of relevant
currencies.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Without
prejudice to Bank’s rights under Applicable Law, Bank may set off against
any amount owing by Customer under this Agreement any amount in any
currency standing to the credit of any of Customer’s accounts (whether
deposit or otherwise) with any Bank branch or office or with any Affiliate
of Bank. For this purpose, Bank shall be entitled to accelerate
the maturity of any fixed term deposits and to effect such currency
conversions as may be necessary at its current rates for the sale and
purchase of the relevant
currencies.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Customer
grants to the Bank a security interest in and a lien on the Financial
Assets held in any given Customer’s Securities Account and the cash held
in that Customer’s Cash Account to secure the portion of Transfer Account
Liabilities with respect to the Customer, and the Bank shall be entitled
without prior notice to the Customer (provided that Bank agrees to provide
notice to Customer within a commercially reasonable time after any such
action is taken), to withhold delivery of such Financial Assets, sell or
otherwise realize any of such Financial Assets and to apply the proceeds
and any other monies credited to the Cash Account in satisfaction of such
Transfer Account Liabilities, provided that Bank hereby agrees, that when
commercially reasonable, it shall apply monies credited to the Cash
Account in satisfaction of such Transfer Account Liabilities before
selling or otherwise realizing any of such Financial Assets in the
Securities Account, and provided further, that Customer agrees that Bank
may so apply monies credited to the Cash
Account. For the purpose of effecting the foregoing
rights, the Bank shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of any fixed
term deposits and to effect such currency conversions as may be necessary
at its current rates for the sale and purchase of the relevant
currencies.
|
|
|
(d)
|
The
Customer will be solely responsible for ensuring that the Transfer Agent
maintains sufficient records and internal controls to monitor and
reconcile daily activity with respect to amounts and transactions in the
Transfer Accounts that are attributable to each Customer. In particular,
the Customer will ensure that the Transfer Agent provides to the Bank, on
a daily basis: (1) information as to the amount of cash attributable to
each Customer in the Transfer Accounts, (2) information regarding the
transactions of each Customer that are processed through the Transfer
Accounts, and (3) records to identify and support any Transfer Account
Liabilities incurred or created in connection with the transactions
processed through the Transfer Accounts that are attributable to each
Customer. The Customer will be responsible for any Transfer
Account Liabilities resulting from a failure of the Transfer Agent to
provide accurate and timely information to the Bank regarding the Transfer
Accounts.

DEPOSITORIES, AND OTHER
AGENTS
|
|
|
5.1
|
Appointment
of Subcustodians; Use of Securities
Depositories
|
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
is authorized under this Agreement to act through and hold Customer's
Financial Assets with Subcustodians. Bank will use reasonable
care in the selection, monitoring and continued appointment of such
Subcustodians. In addition, Bank and each Subcustodian may
deposit Securities with, and hold Securities in any Securities Depository
on such terms as such Securities Depository customarily operates and
Customer will provide Bank with such documentation or acknowledgements
that Bank may require to hold the Financial Assets in such Securities
Depository.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Any
agreement Bank enters into with a Subcustodian for holding Bank’s
customers' assets will provide 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 that the beneficial
ownership thereof will be freely transferable without the payment of money
or value other than for safe custody or administration. Bank 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 Customer’s assets. Where a Subcustodian deposits
Securities with a Securities Depository, Bank will cause the Subcustodian
to identify on its records as belonging to Bank, as agent, the Securities
shown on the Subcustodian’s account at such Securities
Depository. Bank shall identify on its records as belonging to
Customer the Financial Assets of Customer held by Subcustodian or
Securities Depository. This Section 5.1(b) will not apply to
the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by Customer with
any particular Subcustodian.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Bank
is not responsible for the selection or monitoring of any Securities
Depository, except as provided in the Mutual Fund Rider to this Global
Custody Agreement, and will not be liable for any act or
omission by (or the insolvency of) any Securities
Depository. In the event the Customer incurs a loss due to the
negligence, willful default, or insolvency of a Securities Depository,
Bank will make reasonable efforts, in its discretion, to seek recovery
from the Securities Depository, but Bank will not be obligated to
institute legal proceedings, file proof of claim in any insolvency
proceeding, or take any similar
action.
|
Bank
shall be liable to Customer for any loss or damage to Customer resulting from
Financial Assets held at a Securities Depository if such loss or damage directly
resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of Bank or any of its agents
(for the avoidance of doubt, a Securities Depository is not an agent of the
Bank) or of any of their employees.
|
|
5.2
|
Liability
for Subcustodians
|
|
|
(a)
|
Subject
to Section 7.1(b), Bank shall be liable for the actions or omissions of
any Subcustodian to the same extent as if such act or omission was
performed by the Bank itself. In the event of any direct Losses suffered
or incurred by a Customer caused by or resulting from the actions or
omissions of any Subcustodian for which the Bank would otherwise be
liable, the Bank shall promptly reimburse such Customer in the amount of
any such direct Losses. Bank shall also be liable for direct Losses that
result from the insolvency of any Affiliated
Subcustodian. Subject to Section 5.1(a) and Bank’s 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 Bank
in its oversight process, Bank will not be responsible for the insolvency
of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or an Affiliated
Subcustodian.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Subject
to compliance with Rule 17f-5 under the 1940 Act, Bank reserves the right
to add, replace or remove Subcustodians. Bank will give prompt
notice of any such action, which will be advance notice if
practicable. Upon request by Customer, Bank will identify the
name, address and principal place of business of any Subcustodian and the
name and address of the governmental agency or other regulatory authority
that supervises or regulates such
Subcustodian.

7.1
|
Standard
of Care; Liability
|
|
|
(a)
|
Bank
will use reasonable care in performing its obligations under this
Agreement in accordance with the standards prevailing in the applicable
market. Bank will not be in violation of this Agreement with
respect to any matter as to which it has satisfied its obligation of
reasonable care.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Bank
shall exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in carrying out all
its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and shall be liable to
Customer for any and all direct claims, liabilities, losses, damages,
fines, penalties and expenses ("Losses") suffered or incurred by such
Customer resulting from the failure of Bank to exercise such reasonable
care, prudence and diligence or resulting from Bank's negligence or
willful misconduct and to the extent provided in Section
5.2(a). Nevertheless, under no circumstances will Bank be
liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages
(including, without limitation, lost profits) 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,
Bank’s performance under this Agreement, or Bank’s role as
custodian.
|
|
|
(c)
|
The
Customer will indemnify Bank Indemnitees against, and hold them harmless
from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any Bank Indemnitees in connection with or arising out of (i)
Bank's performance under this Agreement, provided the Bank Indemnitees
have acted with reasonable care and have not acted with negligence or
engaged in fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the Liabilities
in question or (ii) any of Bank Indemnitees’ status as a holder of record
of Customer’s Securities; provided that, to the extent practicable, Bank
uses reasonable care to provide prompt notice to Customer of the
circumstances and all pertinent facts related to the claim for
indemnification. Nevertheless, Customer will not be obligated
to indemnify any Bank Indemnitee under the preceding sentence with respect
to any Liability for which Bank is liable under Section 5.2 of this
Agreement.
|
Nevertheless,
under no circumstances will Customer be liable for any indirect, incidental,
consequential or special damages (including, without limitation, lost profits)
of any form incurred by Bank, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the
type of action in which such a claim may be brought, with respect to the
Accounts, or Customer’s performance or non-performance under this
Agreement. The Customer and the Bank agree that the obligations of
the Customer under this Agreement shall not be binding upon any of the
directors/trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, employees or agents,
whether past, present or future, of the series of the Customer, individually,
but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Customer.
|
|
(d)
|
The
party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified
Party”) agrees to give prompt notice to the party from whom indemnity is
sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the
commencement of any suit, action or proceeding (“Claim”) in respect of
which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement and will provide the
Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto that the
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to so
notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have
adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party.
|
If
Customer acknowledges in writing that Bank is entitled to indemnification, the
Customer shall have the option to defend Bank against any claim which may be the
subject of this indemnification, and in the event that the Customer so elects,
it will so notify Bank, and thereupon Customer shall take over complete defense
of the claim. In the event Customer elects to assume the control of the defense
of the claim, Bank may participate in such proceeding and retain additional
counsel but shall bear all fees and expenses of such retention of such counsel,
unless (i) Customer shall have specifically authorized the retention of such
counsel, or (ii) if Customer and Bank agree that the retention of such counsel
is required as a result of a conflict of interest. In the event Customer assumes
control of any proceeding, Customer shall keep Bank notified of the progress of
such proceeding and, upon request, consult with Bank and counsel. Customer will,
upon request by Bank, either pay in the first instance or reimburse Bank for any
expense subject to indemnity hereunder. Customer shall not settle or compromise
any proceeding without the prior written consent of Bank unless (i) such
settlement or compromise involves no admission of guilt, wrongdoing, or
misconduct by Bank, (ii) such settlement or compromise does not impose any
obligations or restrictions on Bank other than obligations to pay money that are
subject to indemnity under this Agreement, (iii) such settlement or compromise
involves no injunctive or other equitable relief against the Bank and would not
otherwise materially and adversely affect (A) the business, financial condition
or results of operations of the Bank and (B) the Bank’s method of doing
business,and (iv) Customer shall have paid or made arrangements satisfactory to
Bank for payment of amounts payable by Bank in connection with such settlement.
Bank shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case which
Customer will be asked to indemnify Bank except with the Customer’s prior
written consent. Bank shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of
counsel (who may be counsel for the Customer) on all matters, and shall be
without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such
advice.
|
|
(e)
|
Customer
agrees that Bank provides no service in relation to, and therefore has no
duty or responsibility to: (i) question Instructions or make any
suggestions to Customer or an Authorized Person regarding such
Instructions, except to verify that such instruction is authorized in
accordance with Section 3.2; (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

Bank should notify Customer if relying on professional advisers.

Bank
Provides Diverse Financial Services and May Generate Profits as a
Result
|
Customer
hereby authorizes Bank to act under this Agreement notwithstanding that: (a)
Bank or any of its divisions, branches or Affiliates may have a material
interest in transactions entered into by Customer with respect to the Account or
that circumstances are such that Bank may have a potential conflict of duty or
interest, including the fact that Bank or its Affiliates may act as a market
maker in the Financial Assets to which Instructions relate, provide brokerage
services to other customers, act as financial adviser to the issuer of such
Financial Assets, act in the same transaction as agent for more than one
customer, have a material interest in the issue of the Financial Assets; or earn
profits from any of the activities listed herein. (b) Bank or any of its
divisions, branches or Affiliates may be in possession of information tending to
show that the Instructions received may not be in the best interests of
Customer. Bank is not under any duty to disclose any such information unless
such information is broadly disclosed to the other custody clients of Bank
receiving the same types of services as the Customer.

Assets
Held Outside Bank’s Control
|
Bank will
not be obliged to hold Securities or cash with any person not agreed to by
Bank. Furthermore, Bank will not be obliged to register or record
Securities in the name of any person not agreed to by Bank. If,
however, the Customer makes such a request and Bank agrees to the request, the
consequences of doing so will be at the Customer’s own risk. Bank
will not be liable for any losses incurred as a result and may be precluded from
providing some of the services referred to in this Agreement (for example, and
without limitation, income collection, proxy voting, class action litigation and
Corporate Action notification and processing).

services
|
Bank and
its Subcustodians may use third parties to provide ancillary services (i.e.,
services that do not form part of the custody services contained in Article 2
and which include without limitation courier or pricing
services). Whilst Bank will use reasonable care (and procure that its
Subcustodians use reasonable care) in the selection and retention of such third
parties, it will not be responsible for any errors or omissions made by such
third party in providing the relevant services.

given, this information is true and correct in every respect, not
misleading in any way, and contains all material

documents by Customer or any third party; (ii) provision to Bank or a
third party of inaccurate or misleading information by Customer or any

reclaims or reduction of withholding which it will pursue in respect of
income payments under this Section.

The
provision of a tax relief service by Bank is conditional upon Bank
receiving from Customer (i) a declaration of its identity and place of
residence and (ii) certain other documentation (pro forma copies of which
are available from Bank), prior to the receipt of Financial Assets in the
Account or the payment of income.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Bank
will perform tax relief services only with respect to taxation levied by
the revenue authorities of the countries advised to Customer from time to
time and Bank may, by notification in writing, in its absolute discretion,
supplement or amend the countries in which the tax relief services are
offered. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 8.2
Bank will have no responsibility with regard to Customer’s tax position or
status in any jurisdiction.

TERMINATION
|
|
|
9.1
|
Term
and Termination
|
|
|
(a)
|
The
initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of two years
following the date on which Bank commenced providing services under the
Agreement. Following the initial term, Customer may terminate
this Agreement on sixty (60) days' written notice to Bank. Bank
may terminate this Agreement on one hundred and eighty (180) days’ written
notice to Customer.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Notwithstanding
Section 9.1(a):
|
|
|
(i)
|
Either
party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice to the
other party in the event that a material breach of this Agreement by the
other party has not been cured within thirty (30) days of that party being
given written notice of the material
breach;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Either
party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice to the
other party upon the other party being declared bankrupt, entering into a
composition with creditors, obtaining a suspension of payment, being put
under court controlled management or being the subject of a similar
measure;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
Bank
may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ written notice to
Customer in the event that Bank reasonably determines that Customer has
ceased to satisfy Bank’s customary credit requirements;
and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
Customer
may terminate this Agreement at any time during the initial term on sixty
(60) days’ written notice to Bank upon payment of a termination
fee. The termination fee will be an amount equal to the
aggregate sum of fees accrued prior to the date of termination but waived
based on the fee schedule set forth in Schedule [__], as applied against
transactions and activities of the Customer since the date Bank commenced
providing services under this Agreement. If the Agreement is
terminated by the Customer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) through (ii), no
termination fee will be paid to the
Bank.
|
|
|
9.2
|
Exit
Procedure
|
Customer
will provide Bank full details of the persons to whom Bank must deliver
Financial Assets and cash within a reasonable period before the effective time
of termination of this Agreement. If Customer fails to provide such
details in a timely manner, Bank shall be entitled to continue to be paid fees
under this Agreement until such time as it is able to deliver the Financial
Assets and cash to successor custodian, but Bank may take such steps as it
reasonably determines to be necessary to protect itself following the effective
time of termination, including ceasing to provide transaction settlement
services in the event that Bank is unwilling to assume any related credit
risk. Bank will in any event be entitled to deduct any amounts
owing to it prior to delivery of the Financial Assets and cash (and,
accordingly, Bank will be entitled to sell Financial Assets and apply the sale
proceeds in satisfaction of amounts owing to it). Customer will
reimburse Bank promptly for all out-of-pocket expenses it reasonably
incurs in delivering Financial Assets upon termination. Termination
will not affect any of the liabilities either party owes to the other arising
under this Agreement prior to such termination.

10.5
|
Information
Concerning Deposits at Bank’s London
Branch
|
Under
U.S. federal law, deposit accounts that Customer maintains in Bank’s foreign
branches (outside of the U.S.) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. In the event of Bank’s liquidation, foreign branch
deposits have a lesser preference than U.S. deposits, and such foreign deposits
are subject to cross-border risks. However, the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme (the "FSCS") was created under the Financial Services and
Markets ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. The terms of the FSCS offer protection in
connection with deposits and investments in the event of the persons to whom
Bank’s London Branch provides services suffering a financial loss as a direct
consequence of Bank’s London Branch being unable to meet any of its liabilities,
and subject to the FSCS rules regarding eligible claimants and eligible claims,
the Customer may have a right to claim compensation from the
FSCS. Subject to the terms of the FSCS, the limit on the maximum
compensation sum payable by the FSCS in relation to investment business is
£48,000 and in relation to deposits is £50,000. A detailed
description of the FSCS (including information on how to make a claim,
eligibility criteria and the procedures involved) is available from the FSCS who
can be contacted at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇
▇▇▇.
|
|
10.6
|
Insurance
|
The
Customer acknowledges that Bank will not be required to maintain any insurance
coverage specifically for the benefit of the Customer. Bank
will, however, provide details of its own general insurance coverage to the
Customer on request.
|
|
10.7
|
Security
Holding Disclosure
|
With
respect to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14b-2 under The U.S
Shareholder Communications Act, regarding disclosure of beneficial owners to
issuers of Securities, Bank is instructed not to disclose the name, address or
Security positions of Customer in response to shareholder communications
requests regarding the Account.
|
|
10.8
|
USA
PATRIOT Act Disclosure
|
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 Bank to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any
person that opens a new Account with it. Accordingly, Customer
acknowledges that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and Bank’s identity
verification procedures require Bank to obtain information which may be used to
confirm Customer's identity including without limitation Customer's name,
address and organizational documents (“identifying
information”). Customer may also be asked to provide information
about its financial status such as its current audited and unaudited financial
statements. Customer agrees to provide Bank with and consents to Bank
obtaining from third parties any such identifying and financial information
required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided
by Bank.
|
|
10.9
|
Governing
Law and Jurisdiction
|
This
Agreement will be construed, regulated, and administered under the laws of the
United States or State of New York, as applicable, without regard to New York’s
principles regarding conflict of laws, except that the foregoing shall not
reduce any statutory right to choose New York law or forum. The
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York will have the
sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any lawsuit or other judicial proceeding
relating to or arising from this Agreement. If that court lacks
federal subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
New York County will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction. Either of
these courts will have proper venue for any such lawsuit or judicial proceeding,
and the parties waive any objection to venue or their convenience as a
forum. The parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of any of the
courts specified and to accept service of process to vest personal jurisdiction
over them in any of these courts. The parties further hereby knowingly,
voluntarily and intentionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any right to a trial by jury with respect to any such lawsuit or
judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. To the extent that in any jurisdiction Customer may now or
hereafter be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit,
execution, attachment (before or after judgement) or other legal process,
Customer shall not claim, and it hereby irrevocably waives, such
immunity.
|
|

Waiver; and Survival
|
|
|
(a)
|
If
one or more provisions of this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect on the basis of any particular circumstances
or in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of such
provision or provisions under other circumstances or in other
jurisdictions and of the remaining provisions will not in any way be
affected or impaired.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Except
as otherwise provided herein, no failure or delay on the part of either
party in exercising any power or right under this Agreement operates as a
waiver, nor does any single or partial exercise of any power or right
preclude any other or further exercise, or the exercise of any other power
or right. No waiver by a party of any provision of this
Agreement, or waiver of any breach or default, is effective unless it is
in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be
enforced.
|
|
|
(c)
|
The
parties’ rights, protections, and remedies under this Agreement shall
survive its termination.
|

Subject
to Clause 10.11(b) the Bank 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 the
Bank’s business, or with the consent of the Customer. Bank
shall provide Customer with notice where it is the subject of any
regulatory request involving Customer’s Confidential Information provided
such notice is permitted by Applicable
Law.
|
|
|
(b)
|

|
|
(c)
|
Except
as otherwise required by Applicable Law or as needed to enforce the terms
of this Agreement, the parties shall hold the terms and conditions of this
Agreement in confidence.

respect of the account(s).
JPMorgan

which JPMorgan believes in good faith to have been given by one of those

We
acknowledge that JPMorgan may record our telephone conversations and agree to
ensure that any codes, passwords or similar devices are reasonably
safeguarded.
Unless
specified otherwise, all persons authorised to give instructions shall be

responsibility of the Customer, and the Bank disclaims all risks related
thereto, notwithstanding that the Bank may recommend certain security
and/or communication software packages. All such software must
