3. RECEIPT AND DISBURSEMENT OF MONEY
A. Custodian shall open and maintain a separate account or accounts in
the name of each Fund, subject only to draft or order by Custodian acting
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Custodian shall hold in such account or
accounts, subject to the provisions hereof, all cash received by it from or for
the account of each Company. Custodian shall make payments of cash to, or for
the account of, each Company from such cash only:

Company issues appropriate oral or facsimile instructions to Custodian and an

for such securities to the same extent as if the securities had been received by
Custodian.

account(s) may be transferred cash and/or securities.

receipt by Custodian of payment therefore;
(b) when such securities are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise
become payable;
(c) for examination by any broker selling any such securities in
accordance with "street delivery" custom;
(d) in exchange for, or upon conversion into, other securities alone or

transfer, exchange or delivery, and stating that it is for a purpose permitted
under the terms of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h) of this
3
Paragraph 5 and also, in respect of item (i), upon receipt of an officers'
certificate specifying the securities to be delivered, setting forth the purpose
for which such delivery is to be made, declaring such purpose to be a proper
corporate purpose, and naming the person or persons to whom delivery of such
securities shall be made, provided, however, that an officers' certificate need
not precede any such transfer, exchange or delivery of a money market
instrument, or any other security with same or next-day settlement, if the

person of each Company issues appropriate oral or facsimile instructions to
Custodian and an appropriate officers' certificate is received by Custodian

of its agents or of any of its or their employees or from
failure of Custodian or any such agent or employee to enforce
effectively such rights as it may have against the Securities
System; at the election of a Company, it shall be entitled to
be subrogated to the rights of Custodian with respect to any

hereunder, in the form and manner, and for such period, as it may deem advisable
and is agreeable to each Company but not inconsistent with the rules and
regulations of appropriate government authorities, in particular Section 31 of
the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Custodian agrees that all such records
prepared or maintained by the Custodian relating to the services performed by

continues beyond Custodian's control. Custodian will restore any lost or damaged
data and correct any errors resulting from such a breakdown at the expense of
Custodian. Custodian agrees that it shall, at all times, have reasonable
contingency plans with appropriate parties, making reasonable provision for
