        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
  6
  
 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.

 2.6
        Actual Settlement Date Accounting

 (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 reasonably believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by Bank within a reasonable period or the credit was incorrect.  Bank shall provide Customers investment manager with all documentation related
to any such reversal of credits promptly upon request.
  7
  
 (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 promptly credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation.
 (d)
        Bank will use reasonable efforts to promptly contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds and will provide Customers investment manager all documentation in Banks possession related to any such late payment.

  (c)

Customer undertakes to notify Bank immediately if any information requires updating or correcting.  Bank provides no service of controlling or monitoring, and therefore has no duty in respect of, or liability for any taxes, penalties, interest or additions to tax, payable or paid that result from (i) the inaccurate completion of documents by
  23
  
 Customer or any third party; (ii) provision to Bank or a third party of inaccurate or misleading information by Customer or third party; (iii) the withholding of material information by Customer or any third party; or (iv) as a result of any delay by any revenue authority or any other cause beyond Banks reasonable control. (c)
        If Bank does not receive appropriate certifications, documentation and information then, as and when appropriate and required, additional tax shall be deducted from all income received in respect of the Financial Assets issued (including, but not limited to, United States non-resident alien tax and/or backup withholding tax.
 (d)
        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 Bank will be responsible for any penalty or additions to tax due solely as a result of Banks wilful misconduct, negligent acts or omissions with respect to paying or withholding tax or reporting interest, dividend or other income paid or credited to the Cash Account.
 8.2
        Tax Relief Services
 (a)
        Subject to the provisions of this Section, Bank will apply for a reduction of withholding tax and any refund of any tax paid or tax credits in respect of income payments on Financial Assets credited to the Securities Account that Bank believes may be available.  To defray expenses pertaining to nominal tax claims, Bank may from time-to-time set minimum thresholds as to a de minimus value of tax reclaims or reduction of withholding which it will pursue in respect of income payments under this Section.
 (b)
        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
        Termination
 (a)
        The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three 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 the 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, upon a dissolution 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 on sixty (60) days written notice to Bank upon payment of a termination fee. The termination fee will be an amount equal to six (6) times the average monthly fees paid during the six month period prior to Customers notice of termination, or since the date Bank commenced providing services under this Agreement if that period is less than six months.
  9.2
        Exit Procedure
 Customer will provide Bank full details of the persons to whom Bank must deliver Financial Assets and cash 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 a successor custodian, but Bank may take such steps as it reasonably determines  25
  
 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 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.

 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 Act 2000.  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 £31,700.  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 7th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, Portsoken Street, London, E1 8BN. 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  27
  
 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. 10.10
        Severability; 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
  28
  
 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.
 10.11
        Confidentiality
 (a)
        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; such obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement; and upon notice of any disclosure, as permitted by Applicable Law.  During the term of this Agreement, Bank shall maintain and enforce policies and procedures prohibiting Bank and its employees and agents from engaging in securities transactions based on knowledge of Customers portfolio holdings.
 (b)
        The Customer authorizes the Bank to disclose Confidential Information to:
 (i)
        any Subcustodian, subcontractor, agent, Securities Depository, securities exchange, broker, third party agent, proxy solicitor, issuer, or any other person that the Bank believes it is reasonably required in connection with the Banks provision of relevant services under this Agreement;
 (ii)
        its professional advisors, auditors or public accountants;
 (iii)
        its Affiliates, and
 (iv)
        any revenue authority or any governmental entity in relation to the processing of any tax relief claim.
 (c)
        Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or applicable Securities Laws or as needed to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the parties shall hold the terms and conditions of this Agreement in confidence.
 10.12
        Counterparts
 This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts each of which will be deemed to be an original and together will constitute one and the same agreement. 10.13
        No Third Party Beneficiaries
 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of this Agreement.  29
  
 10.14
        Non-Binding on Trustees and Officers
  With respect to any Customer that is organized as a Massachusetts business trust
 (each a Trust), a copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, of
 each Trust is on file with the office of Secretary of The Commonwealth of
 Massachusetts, and notice  is hereby given that this instrument is executed on behalf
 of the Trustees of each Trust as Trustees and not individually and that the
 obligations of this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or
 shareholders of any Trust individually but are binding only upon the assets and
 property of each Trust.
