11. Concerning the Custodian.
------------------------
(a) Standard of Conduct. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the
-------------------
Custodian shall be obligated to exercise care and diligence and to act
in good faith and to use its best efforts within reasonable limits to
insure the accuracy and completeness of all services under this
Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Custodian
nor its nominee shall be liable for any loss or damage, including
counsel fees, resulting from its action or omission to act or
otherwise, except for any such loss or damage arising out of its
negligence, misfeasance or willful misconduct or that of its employees
or agents. The Custodian may, with respect to questions of law, apply
for and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to the Trust or of
its own counsel, at the expense of the Trust, and shall be fully
protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith
in conformity with such advice or opinion. The Custodian shall be
liable to the Funds for any loss or damage resulting form the use of
the Book-Entry System or a Depository arising by reason of
14
any negligence, misfeasance or willful misconduct on the part of the
custodian or any of its employees or agents.
(b) Limit of Duties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
---------------
Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire into, and shall
not be liable for:
1. The validity of the issue of any Securities purchased by the Funds,
the legality of the purchase thereof, or the propriety of the amount
paid therefor;
2. The legality of the sale of any Securities by the Funds or the
propriety of the amount for which the same are sold;
3. The legality of the issue or sale of any Shares, or the sufficiency
of the amount to be received therefor;
4. The legality of the redemption of any Shares, or the propriety of the
amount to be paid therefor;
5. The legality of the declaration or payment of any distribution of
any Fund; or
6. The legality of any borrowing.
(c) No Liability Until Receipt. The Custodian shall not be liable for, or
--------------------------
considered to be the Custodian of, any money, whether or not represented by
any check, draft, or other instrument for the payment of money, received by
it on behalf of a Fund until the Custodian actually receives and collects
such money directly or by the final crediting of the account representing
the Fund's interest in the Book-Entry System or a Depository.
(d) Amounts Due from Transfer Agent. The Custodian shall not be under any duty
-------------------------------
or obligation to take action to effect collection of any amount due to the
funds from the Transfer Agent nor to take any action to effect payment or
distribution by the Transfer Agent of any amount paid by the Custodian to
the Transfer Agent in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Collection Where Payment Refused. The Custodian shall not be under any
--------------------------------
duty or obligation to take action to effect collection of any amount, if
the Securities upon which such amount is payable are in default, or if
payment is refused after the due demand or presentation, unless and until
(i) it shall be directed to take such action by a Certificate and (ii) it
shall be assured to its satisfaction of reimbursement of its costs and
expenses in connection with any
15
such action. The Custodian shall give the Funds prompt notice of each such
event.
(f) Appointment of Sub-Custodians. In connection with its duties under this
-----------------------------
Agreement, the Custodian may, at its own expense, enter into sub-custodian
agreements with other domestic banks or trust companies for the receipt of
certain securities and cash to be held by the Custodian for the accounts of
the Funds pursuant to this Agreement; provided that each such bank or trust
company complies with all relevant provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable
state securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The
custodian shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its duties
under this Agreement and shall hold the Trust harmless from the acts and
omissions, under the standards of care provided for herein, of any domestic
bank or trust company that it might choose pursuant to this Section. The
parties hereto acknowledge that they intend to enter into a Sub-Custodian
Agreement with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust Company or another institution
agreeable to them providing for the custody of certain securities outside
the United States in accordance with Rule 17f-5 under the 1940 Act.
(g) No Duty to Ascertain Authority. The Custodian shall not be under any duty
------------------------------
or obligation to ascertain whether any Securities at any time delivered to
or held by it for the Fund are such as may properly be held by the Fund
under the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and the Prospectus.
(h) Reliance on Certificates and Instructions. The custodian shall be entitled
-----------------------------------------
to rely upon any Certificate, notice or other instrument in writing
received by the Custodian and reasonably believed by the Custodian to be
genuine and to be signed by two officers of the Trust or Authorized
Persons. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any Written or Oral
Instructions actually received by the Custodian pursuant to the applicable
Sections of this Agreement and reasonably believed by the Custodian to be
genuine and to be given by an Authorized Person in the case of Oral
Instructions or two Authorized Persons in the case of Written Instructions.
The Trust agrees to forward the Custodian Written Instructions form two
Authorized Persons confirming such Oral Instructions in such manner so that
such Written Instructions are received by the Custodian, whether by hand or
delivery, telex or otherwise, by the close of business on the same day that
such Oral Instructions are given to the Custodian. The Trust agrees that
the fact that such confirming instructions are not received by the
custodian shall in no way affect the validity of the transactions or
enforceability of the transactions hereby authorized by the Trust. The
Trust agrees that the Custodian shall incur no liability to the Trust in
acting upon Oral Instructions given to the Custodian hereunder concerning
such transactions provided such instructions reasonably appear to have been
received from a duly Authorized Person.
16
(i) Books and Records. The books and records pertaining to the Trust
-----------------
which are now or hereafter in the possession of the Custodian shall be
the property of the Trust. Such books and records shall be prepared and
maintained as required by the 1940 Act and other applicable securities
laws and regulations and shall, to the extent practicable, be
maintained separately for each Fund of the Trust. The Trust, the
Trust's authorized representatives and auditors shall have access to
such books and records at all times during the Custodian's normal
business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Trust, copies of any
such books and records shall be provided by the custodian to the Trust
or the Trust's authorized representatives at the Trust's expense.
The Custodian shall provide the Trust with any report obtained by the
Custodian on the system of internal accounting control of the Book-
Entry System or a Depository and with such reports on its own systems
of internal accounting control in accordance with the requirements of
the 1940 Act and as the Trust may reasonably request from time to time.
(j) Cooperation with Accountants. The Custodian shall cooperate with the
----------------------------
Trust's independent public accountants and shall take all reasonable
action in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to
assure that the necessary information is made available to such
accountants for the expression of their opinions, as such may be
required from time to time by the Trust.
(k) Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations. The Custodian
--------------------------------------------------
shall comply with all applicable requirements of the federal securities
and commodities laws, and any other laws, rules and regulations of
governmental authorities having jurisdiction with respect to the duties
to be performed by the custodian hereunder. Except as specifically set
forth herein, the Custodian assumes no responsibility for such
compliance by the Trust.
12. Term and Termination.
--------------------

above (the "Effective Date") and shall continue in effect thereafter
until terminated pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 12.
(b) Either of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement at any time
by giving to the other party a notice in writing specifying the date
of such termination, which shall be not less than 60 days after the
date of receipt of such notice. In the event such notice is given by
the Trust, it shall be accompanied by a certified resolution of the
Board of Trustees of the Trust, electing to terminate this Agreement
and designating a successor custodian or custodians, which shall be a
person qualified to so act under the 1940 Act.
17
In the event such notice is given by the Custodian, the Trust shall,
on or before the termination date, deliver to the Custodian a
certified resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
designating a successor custodian or custodians. In the absence of
such designation by the Trust, the Custodian may designate a successor
custodian, which shall be a person qualified to so act under the ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇. If the Trust fails to designate a successor custodian, the Trust
shall upon the specified in the notice of termination of this
Agreement and upon the delivery by the Custodian of all Securities
(other than Securities held in the Book-Entry System and other
securities held in uncertificated form which cannot be delivered to
the Trust) and monies then owned by the Trust, be deemed to be its own
custodian and the Custodian shall thereby be relieved of all duties
and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, other than the duty
with respect to Securities held in the Book-Entry System and other
uncertificated securities which cannot be delivered to the Trust.
(c) Upon the date set forth in such notice under paragraph (b) of this
Section 12, this Agreement shall terminate to the extent specified in
such notice, and the Custodian shall upon receipt of a notice of
acceptance by the successor custodian deliver directly to the
successor custodian on that date all Securities and monies then held
by the Custodian on behalf of the Trust, after deducting all fees,
expenses and other amounts the payment or reimbursement of which it
shall then be entitled.
