A Security Procedure may, without limitation, involve

3



the use of algorithms, codes, passwords, encryption and telephone call backs.

2. WHAT BANK IS REQUIRED TO DO

 

 

2.1

Set Up Accounts.

          (a) Bank will establish and maintain the following accounts (“Accounts”):

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

a Securities Account in the name of Customer for Financial Assets, which may be received by or on behalf of Bank or its Subcustodian for the account of Customer, including as an Entitlement Holder; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

an account in the name of Customer (“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 a Securities Depository will be held in that manner and will not be part of the Cash Account.

4



          (b) At the request of Customer, additional Accounts may be opened in the future, which will be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

2.2

Cash Account.

          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.

 

 

2.3

Segregation of Assets; Nominee Name.

          (a) Bank will identify in its records 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 records 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, settlement system or dematerialized book entry or similar systems; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

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.

          (d) Bank is authorized, when directed to do so by Customer, to hold Financial Assets at third parties and to register Financial Assets in broker “street name” or in the name of other third parties (or their nominees). Notwithstanding Section 7.1, Bank shall have no liability for any loss of Financial Assets or other damages resulting from holding or registering Financial Assets as so directed by Customer.

Customer authorizes Bank or its Subcustodian to hold Financial Assets in omnibus accounts and will accept delivery of Financial Assets of the same class and denomination as those with Bank or its Subcustodian.

          (e) In the event that Customer requests the opening of any additional Account for the purpose of holding collateral pledged by Customer to a securities exchange, clearing corporation or

5



other central counterparty (a “Counterparty”) to secure trading activity by Customer, or the pledge to a Counterparty of cash or individual Securities held in an Account, that Account (or the pledged cash or Securities)j shall be subject to the collateral arrangements in effect between the Bank and the Counterparty in addition to the terms of this Agreement to the extent applicable.

 

 

2.4

Settlement of Trades.

          When Bank receives an Instruction directing settlement of a transaction in Financial Assets that includes all information required by Bank, Bank will use reasonable care to effect such settlement as instructed. Settlement of transactions in Financial Assets will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the risk of loss will be Customer’s whenever Bank delivers Financial Assets or payment in accordance with applicable market practice in advance of receipt or settlement of the expected consideration. 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, but Bank will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.

 

 

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 trades in those markets where Bank generally offers contractual settlement date accounting and will notify Customer of those markets from time to time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(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 the Bank pending settlement of the trade 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 the Bank. Bank then will post the Securities Account as awaiting receipt of the expected Financial Assets. Customer will not be entitled to the Financial Assets that are awaiting receipt until Bank or a Subcustodian actually receives them.

Bank reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of contractual settlement date accounting for credit or operational reasons.

          (b) Bank may (in its absolute discretion) upon oral or written notification to Customer reverse any debit or credit made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a transaction’s actual settlement, and Customer will be responsible for any costs or liabilities resulting from such reversal. Customer acknowledges that the procedures described in this sub-section are of an administrative nature, and Bank does not undertake to make loans and/or Financial Assets available to Customer pursuant to this sub-section.

6




 

 

2.6

Actual Settlement Date Accounting.

          With respect to any sale or purchase 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 by Bank.

 

 

2.7

Income Collection (Autocredit).

          (a) Bank will credit the Cash Account with income and redemption proceeds on Financial Assets in accordance with the times notified by Bank from time to time on or after the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by Bank or any third party. Where no time is specified for a particular market, income and redemption proceeds from Financial Assets will be credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation. Bank may reverse such credits upon oral or written notification to Customer that Bank believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by Bank within a reasonable period or such credit was incorrect.

          (b) Bank will make good faith efforts in its discretion to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds, but neither Bank nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to file any formal notice of default, institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action..

 

 

2.8

Certain Ministerial Acts.

         Until Bank receives Instructions to the contrary, Bank will:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a)

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;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

(c)

exchange interim or temporary documents of title for Financial Assets held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(d)

provide information concerning the Accounts to Subcustodians, Securities Depositories, counterparties, issuers of Financial Assets, governmental entities, securities exchanges, self-regulatory entities, and similar entities to the extent required by Applicable Law or as may be required in the ordinary course by market practice or otherwise in order to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement.


 

 

2.9

Corporate Actions.

          (a) Bank will notify Customer of any Corporate Action of which information is either (i) received by it or by a Subcustodian to the extent that Bank’s central corporate actions

7



department has actual knowledge of the Corporate Action in time to notify its customers in a timely manner; or (ii) published via a formal notice in publications and reporting services routinely used by Bank for this purpose in time for Bank to notify its customers in a timely manner. Bank does not commit, however, to provide information concerning Corporate Actions relating to Financial Assets being held at Customer’s request in a name not subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian.

          (b) If an Authorized Person fails to provide Bank with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action or class action, neither Bank nor its Subcustodians or their respective nominees will take any action in relation to that Corporate Action or class action, except as otherwise agreed in writing by Bank and 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 or class action.

          (c) Bank may sell or otherwise dispose of fractional interests in Financial Assets arising out of a Corporate Action or class action litigation and, to the extent necessary to protect Customer’s interest in that Corporate Action or class action, credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale or disposition. If some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Asset is called for redemption, Bank may allot the amount redeemed among the respective beneficial holders of such class of Financial Asset in any manner Bank deems to be fair and equitable. Bank will promptly notify Customer of any action taken pursuant to this sub-section.

          (d) Notices of Corporate Actions and class actions dispatched to Customer may have been obtained from sources which Bank does not control and may have been translated or summarized. Although Bank believes such sources to be reliable, Bank has no duty to verify the information contained in such notices nor the faithfulness of any translation or summary and therefore does not guarantee its accuracy, completeness or timeliness, and shall not be liable to Customer for any loss that may result from relying on such notice.

 

 

2.10

Class Action Litigation.

          Any notices received by Bank’s corporate actions department about U.S. settled securities class action litigation that requires action by affected owners of the underlying Financial Assets will be promptly provided 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 will not make filings in the name of Customer in respect to such notifications except as otherwise agreed in writing between Customer and Bank.

 

 

2.11

Proxies.

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms of this sub-section, Bank will provide Customer with information which it receives on matters to be voted upon at meetings of holders of Financial Assets (“Notifications”), and Bank will act in accordance with Customer’s Instructions in relation to such Notifications (“the active proxy voting service”). If information is received by Bank at its proxy voting department too late to permit timely voting by Customer, Bank’s only obligation will be to provide, so far as reasonably practicable, a Notification (or summary information concerning

8



a Notification) on an “information only” basis.

          (b) The active proxy voting service is available only in certain markets, details of which are available from Bank on request. Provision of the active proxy voting service is conditional upon receipt by Bank of a duly completed enrollment form as well as additional documentation that may be required for certain markets.

          (c) Bank will act upon Instructions to vote on matters referred to in a Notification, provided Instructions are received by Bank at its proxy voting department by the deadline referred to in the relevant Notification. If Instructions are not received in a timely manner, Bank will not be obligated to provide further notice to Customer and shall not be obliged to vote. It is Customer’s obligation to monitor the agreed upon means of providing Notifications to determine if new Notifications have been received.

          (d) Bank reserves the right to provide Notifications or parts thereof in the language received. Bank will attempt in good faith to provide accurate and complete Notifications, whether or not translated.

          (e) Customer acknowledges that Notifications and other information furnished pursuant to the active proxy voting service (“information”) are proprietary to Bank and that Bank owns all intellectual property rights, including copyrights and patents, embodied therein. Accordingly, Customer will not make any use of such information except in connection with the active proxy voting service.

           (f) In markets where the active proxy voting service is not available or where Bank has not received a duly completed enrollment form or other relevant documentation, Bank will not provide Notifications to Customer but will endeavor to act upon Instructions to vote on matters before meetings of holders of Financial Assets where it is reasonably practicable for Bank (or its Subcustodians or nominees as the case may be) to do so and where such Instructions are received in time for Bank to take timely action (the “passive proxy voting service”).

          (g) Customer acknowledges that the provision of proxy voting services (whether active or passive) 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)

Financial Assets being held at Customer’s request in a name not subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

in a margin or collateral account at Bank or another bank or broker, or otherwise in a manner which affects voting;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(v)

local market regulations or practices, or restrictions by the issuer;

9




 

 

 

 

 

 

(vi)

Bank may be 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.

          (h) Notwithstanding the fact that Bank may act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to Customer under other agreements, in performing active or passive voting proxy services Bank will be acting solely as the agent of Customer, and will not exercise any discretion, with regard to such proxy services or vote any proxy except when directed by an Authorized Person.

 

 

2.12

Statements and Information Available On-Line and Other Reports.

          (a) Bank will send, or make available on-line, to Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, a formal statement of account in Bank’s standard format for each Account maintained by Customer with Bank, identifying the Financial Assets and cash held in each Account (each such statement a “Statement of Account”). Additionally, Bank will send (or make available on-line to) Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of cash or Financial Assets with respect to each Account. Bank will not be liable with respect to any matter set forth in those portions of any Statement of Account or any such advice (or reasonably implied therefrom) to which Customer has not given Bank a written exception or objection within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Statement of Account, provided such matter is not the result of Bank’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. References in this Agreement to Statements of Account include Statements of Account in electronic form.

          (b) Prices and other information obtained from third parties which may be contained in any Statement of Account or other statement sent to Customer have been obtained from sources Bank believes to be reliable. Bank does not, however, make any representation as to the accuracy of such information or that the prices specified necessarily reflect the proceeds that would be received on a disposal of the relevant Financial Assets.

          (c) Customer acknowledges that, except for Statements of Account or as otherwise expressly agreed by Bank, records and reports available to it on-line 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 records or reports accessed on-line.

          (d) Upon written request, Bank will supply a copy of its current SAS 70 Report to Customer. Upon written request, Bank shall provide Customer with information about Bank’s processes for the management and monitoring of Subcustodians for safeguarding Financial Assets.

 

 

2.13

Access to Bank’s Records.

          The Bank shall create and maintain all records relating to its activities and obligations under this Agreement in such manner as will meet the obligations of Customer under the 1940 Act, with particular attention to Section 31 thereof and Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 thereunder. All such records shall be property of Customer. Bank will allow Customer’s duly authorized officers, employees, and agents, including Customer’s independent public accountants, and the employees and agents of the SEC access at all times during the regular business hours of the Bank to such

10



records. Subject to restrictions under Applicable Law, Bank also will obtain an undertaking to permit Customer’s independent public accountants, reasonable access to the records of any Subcustodian of Securities held in the Securities Account as may be required in connection with such examination.

In addition, the Bank shall cooperate with and supply necessary information to the entity or entities appointed by the Customer to keep its books of account and/or compute its net asset value. The Bank shall take all such reasonable actions as a Customer may from time to time request to enable a Customer to obtain, from year to year, favorable opinions from the Customer’s independent accountants with respect to the Bank’s activities hereunder in connection with (i) the preparation of any registration statement of a Customer and of a Customer’s reports on Form N-SAR and any other reports required by the SEC, and (ii) the fulfillment by the Customer of any other requirements of the SEC.

 

 

2.14

Maintenance of Financial Assets at Subcustodian Locations.

          (b)  In connection with the foregoing, Bank shall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

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;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

have established a system to monitor the continued appropriateness of maintaining foreign Financial Assets and cash with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and of the governing contractual arrangements; it being understood, however, that in the event that Bank shall have determined that

12




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the existing Eligible Foreign Custodian in a given country would no longer afford foreign Financial Assets and cash reasonable care and that no other Eligible Foreign Custodian in that country would afford reasonable care, Bank 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.

Subject to (b)(i)-(v) above, Bank is hereby authorized to place and maintain foreign Financial Assets and cash on behalf of Customer with Eligible Foreign Custodians pursuant to a written contract deemed appropriate by Bank.

Customer represents to Bank that: (1) the foreign Financial Assets and cash being placed and maintained in Bank’s custody are subject to the 1940 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time; (2) its Board: (i) has determined that it is reasonable to rely on Bank to perform as Customer’s Foreign Custody Manager (ii) or its investment adviser shall have determined that Customer may maintain foreign Financial Assets and cash in each country in which Customer’s Financial Assets and cash shall be held hereunder and determined to accept Country Risk. Nothing contained herein shall require Bank to make any selection or to engage in any monitoring on behalf of Customer that would entail consideration of Country Risk.

          (e) Bank shall provide to Customer such information relating to Country Risk as is specified in Appendix 1 hereto. Customer hereby acknowledges that: (i) such information is solely designed to inform Customer of market conditions and procedures and is not intended as a recommendation to invest or not invest in particular markets; and (ii) Bank has gathered the information from sources it considers reliable, but that Bank shall have no responsibility for inaccuracies or incomplete information.

The foregoing analysis will be provided to Customer at Bank’s Website. In connection with the foregoing, Customer shall notify Bank of any Eligible Securities Depositories at which it does not choose to have its foreign Financial Assets and cash held.

          If Customer has agreed to access information concerning the Accounts through Bank’s website, Bank may make any notifications required under this Agreement by posting such notification on the website (except for the notices discussed in Section 10.1).

3. INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

3.1

Acting on Instructions; Unclear Instructions.

          (a) Customer authorizes Bank to accept and act upon any Instructions received by it without inquiry. Customer will indemnify the Bank Indemnitees against, and hold each of them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Bank Indemnitees as a result of any action or omission taken in accordance with any Instructions or other directions upon which Bank is authorized to rely under the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all Instructions will continue in full force and effect until canceled or superseded.

          (c) Bank may (in its sole discretion and without affecting any part of this Section 3.1) seek clarification or confirmation of an Instruction from an Authorized Person and may decline to act upon an Instruction if it does not receive clarification or confirmation satisfactory to it. Bank will not be liable for any loss arising from any delay while it seeks such clarification or confirmation.

          (d) In executing or paying a payment order Bank may rely upon the identifying number (e.g. Fedwire routing number or account) of any party as instructed in the payment order.

4. FEES, EXPENSES AND OTHER AMOUNTS OWING TO BANK

 

 

4.1

Fees and Expenses.

          Fees for services hereunder shall be the obligation of JPMFM rather than the Customer. JPMFM will pay Bank for its services hereunder the fees set forth in Schedule C hereto or such other amounts as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time, together with Bank’s ordinary, reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses other than legal fees and tax or related fees incidental to processing by governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents. For fees payable by JPMFM, Bank shall invoice JPMFM on a monthly basis. JPMFM shall pay such invoice within 30 days of receipt. Without prejudice to Bank’s other rights with respect to JPMFM, JPMFM shall pay interest on overdue amounts from the date they were due from JPMFM until actual payment at such rate as Bank may reasonably determine. Customer shall pay all legal fees and tax or related fees incidental to processing by governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents. Customer authorizes Bank to deduct amounts owing from the Customer to it from the Cash Account, for any such fees or expenses payable by Customer from time to time in arrears. Without prejudice to Bank’s other rights with respect to Customer, Bank reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts from the date they were due from Customer until actual payment at such rate as Bank may reasonably determine.

15




 

 

4.2

Overdrafts.

          If a debit to any currency in the Cash Account results (or will result) 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 the applicable rate charged by Bank from time to time, for such overdrafts, from the date of such advance to the date of payment (both after as well as before judgment) and otherwise on the terms on which Bank makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. 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.

 

 

4.3

Bank’s Right Over Securities; Set-off.

          (a) Customer grants Bank a security interest in and a lien on the Financial Assets held in the Securities Account as security for any and all amounts which are now or become owing to Bank by Customer under any provision of this Agreement, whether or not matured or contingent (“Indebtedness”).

          (b) Without prejudice to Bank’s rights under Applicable Law, Bank may set off against any Indebtedness 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) With respect to any obligation of a Customer arising out of this Agreement, the Bank shall look for payment or satisfaction of such obligation solely to the assets of the Customer to which such obligation relates as though the Bank had separately contracted by separate written instrument with respect to each Customer.

          (d) Customer grants to Bank a security interest in and a lien on the Financial Assets held in a Customer’s Securities Account and the cash held in that Customer’s Cash Account to secure that portion of any Overdraft, obligation, or other Liability owing with respect to a Transfer Account that constitute that Customer’s Transfer Account Liabilities, and Bank shall be entitled (i) without notice, to segregate, place a hold on and/or withhold delivery of such Financial Assets and cash to satisfy such Customer’s Transfer Account Liabilities and (ii) upon notice to the Board, sell or otherwise realize any of such Financial Assets and to apply the proceeds and any other monies credited to that Customer’s Cash Account in satisfaction of its Transfer Account Liabilities. Without prejudice to Bank’s rights under Applicable Laws, Bank may, upon notice to the Board, set off any Overdraft, obligation, or other Liability owing with respect to a Transfer Account that constitute that Customer’s Transfer Account Liabilities against any amount in any currency standing to the credit of any of that Customer’s Accounts (whether deposit or otherwise) with any Bank branch or office.

16



          (e) 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, Customer will ensure that the Transfer Agent provides to the Bank, promptly upon request: (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 obligations, Liabilities, and/or Overdrafts incurred or created in connection with the transactions processed through the Transfer Accounts that are attributable to each Customer. Customer will be responsible for any Liabilites resulting from a failure or delay of the Transfer Agent to provide accurate and timely information to the Bank regarding the Transfer Accounts.

          (f) The Bank hereby agrees that it will follow the following procedures in connection with enforcing a lien or right of set-off against a Customer’s assets pursuant to this Section 4.3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

The Bank will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with enforcing a lien or right of set-off against a Customer’s assets, including all applicable provisions of state law relating to enforcement of rights of set off or liens against securities and other property held in bailment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

To enforce a right of set-off or a lien pursuant to Sub-section 4.3 (a) or (b) of the Agreement, regardless of any other notice requirements under Applicable Laws, rules or regulations or any applicable terms of the Agreement, the Bank will (x) without notice, segregate, place a hold on and/or withhold delivery of Financial Assets in such Customer’s Securities Account and cash in its Cash Account with a market value equal to the amount the Bank has determined in good faith is due and payable; and (y) give written notice (‘“Notice”) to the Board of Trustees of the applicable Customer of its intention to sell or otherwise realize such Financial Assets and to apply the proceeds and any other monies credited to that Customer’s Cash Account in satisfaction of its Indebtedness if the amount the Bank has determined in good faith is due and payable are not repaid within two business days allowing the notice. The Customer may request the Bank to substitute different Financial Assets for the Financial Assets segregated by the Bank and the Bank will not unreasonably deny such request.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Prior to enforcing a right of set-off or a lien against a Customer’s assets pursuant to Sub-section 4.3(d), regardless of any other notice requirements under Applicable Laws, rules or regulations or any applicable terms of the Agreement, the Bank will (w) send a written request to the Transfer Agent, with a copy to the Board, for information sufficient to identify and support any obligations, Liabilities, and/or Overdrafts incurred or created in connection with the transactions processed through the Transfer Accounts that are attributable to each Customer; (x) upon receipt of such information, the Bank will, segregate, place a hold on and/or withhold delivery of

17




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Financial Assets in each such Customer ’s Securities Account and cash in its Cash Account with a market value equal the amount the Bank has determined in good faith is due and payable; and (z) give Notice to the Board of its intention to sell or otherwise realize such Financial Assets and to apply the proceeds and any other monies credited to that Customer’s Cash Account in satisfaction of its Transfer Account Liabilities, if the amount the Bank has determined in good faith is due and payable are not repaid within two business days following the Notice. The Customer may request the Bank to substitute different Financial Assets for the Financial Assets segregated by the Bank and the Bank will not unreasonably deny such request.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

The Bank will not obtain through enforcement of the right of set-off or the lien more than the amount it has determined in good faith to be owed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(v)

The Bank will seek to enforce the right of set-off or the lien first against a Customer’s cash assets, and then only against portfolio securities or other property for which a readily ascertainable market price can be obtained.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vi)

The Bank will arrange for the sale of any such Financial Assets in nominal market transactions and will not arrange for the sale of such Financial Assets in circumstances that, to the best of its knowledge, independently would raise affiliated transaction concerns under the 1940 Act.

5. SUBCUSTODIANS, SECURITIES 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, being at the date of this Agreement the entities listed in Appendix 2 and/or such other entities as Bank may appoint as subcustodians (“Subcustodians”). Bank will use reasonable care, prudence and diligence in the selection and continued appointment of such Subcustodians. At the request of Customer, Bank may, but need not, add to Appendix 2 an Eligible Foreign Custodian where Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to the selection thereof. Bank shall notify Customer in the event that it elects to add any such entity. In addition, Bank and each Subcustodian may deposit Financial Assets with, and hold Financial Assets in, any securities depository, settlement system, dematerialized book entry system or similar system (together a “Securities Depository”) on such terms as such systems customarily operate and Customer will provide Bank with such documentation or acknowledgements that Bank may require to hold the Financial Assets in such systems.

18



          (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. 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. 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 will not be liable for any act or omission by (or the insolvency of) any Securities Depository. In the event Customer incurs a loss due to the negligence, willful misconduct, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, Bank will make reasonable endeavors, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but Bank will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file a proof claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.

          (d) The term Subcustodian as used herein shall mean the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

a ‘U.S. Bank,’ which shall mean a U.S. bank as defined in rule 17f-5(a)(7);

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

an ‘Eligible Foreign Custodian,’ which shall mean: (i) a banking institution or trust company, incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States, that is regulated as such by that country’s government or an agency thereof, and (ii) a majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of a U.S. bank or bank holding company which subsidiary is incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States. In addition, an Eligible Foreign Custodian shall also mean any other entity that shall have been so qualified by exemptive order, rule or other appropriate action of the SEC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

or purposes of clarity, it is agreed that as used in Section 5.2(a), the term Subcustodian shall not include any Eligible Foreign Custodian as to which Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager.

          (e) The term ‘securities depository’ as used herein when referring to a securities depository located outside the U.S. shall mean:

 

 

 

 

 

an “Eligible Securities Depository” which, in turn, shall have the same meaning as in rule 17f-7(b)(1)(i)-(vi) as the same may be amended from time to time, or that has otherwise been made exempt pursuant to an SEC exemptive order or no-action letter of the staff of the SEC.

          (f) The term “securities depository” as used herein when referring to a securities depository located in the U.S. shall mean a “securities depository” as defined in rule 17f-4(a).

19




 

 

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 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 Losses. Bank shall also be liable for losses that result from the insolvency of any Affiliated Subcustodian.

          (b) 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.

          (c) 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.

 

 

5.3

Use of Agents.

          (a) Bank may provide certain services under this Agreement through third parties, which may be Affiliates, provided the provision of services by such Affiliate complies with the 1940 Act and the rules issued thereunder and the policies and procedures of the Customer. Except to the extent provided in Section 5.2 with respect to Subcustodians, Bank will not be responsible for any loss as a result of a failure by any broker or any other third party that it selects and retains using reasonable care to provide ancillary services that it may not customarily provide itself, including, without limitation, delivery services and providers of information regarding matters such as pricing, proxy voting, corporate actions and class action litigation. Nevertheless, Bank will be liable for the performance of any such broker selected by Bank that is an Affiliate to the same extent as Bank would have been liable if it performed such services itself.

          (b) In the case of the sale under Section 2.8 of a fractional interest (or in other cases where Customer has requested Bank to arrange for execution of a trade) Bank will place trades with a broker which is an Affiliate to the extent that: (1) Bank has established a program for such trading with such Affiliate, (2) trading with such Affiliate complies with the 1940 Act and the rules issued thereunder, and (3) trading with such Affiliate complies with the Customer’s policies and procedures provided that such policies and procedures have been provided to Bank and Bank has agreed that they are acceptable to Bank. An affiliated broker may charge its customary commission (or retain its customary spread) with respect to any such transaction.

20

          Bank will maintain and update from time to time business continuation and disaster recovery procedures with respect to its global custody business that it determines from time to time meet reasonable commercial standards. Bank will have no liability, however, for any damage, loss, expense or liability of any nature that Customer may suffer or incur, caused by an act of God, fire, flood, civil or labor disturbance, war, terrorism, act of any governmental authority or other act or threat of any authority (de jure or de facto), legal constraint, fraud or forgery, malfunction of equipment or software (except where such malfunction is primarily attributable to Bank’s negligence in maintaining the equipment or software), failure of or the effect of rules or operations of any external funds transfer system, inability to obtain or interruption of external communications facilities, or any cause beyond the reasonable control of Bank (including without limitation, the non-availability of appropriate foreign exchange).

 

 

7.3

Bank May Consult With Counsel.

          Bank will be entitled to rely on, and may act upon the advice of professional advisers in relation to matters of law, regulation or market practice (which reasonably may be the professional advisers of Customer), and will not be liable to Customer for any action taken or omitted pursuant to such advice; provided, that Bank has selected and retained such professional advisers using reasonable care and acts reasonably in reliance on the advice.

 

 

7.4

Bank Provides Diverse Financial Services and May Generate Profits as a Result.

          Customer acknowledges that Bank or its 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. For example, 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 these activities. Customer further acknowledges that Bank or its Affiliates may be in possession of information tending to show that the Instructions received may not be in the best interests of Customer but that Bank is not under any duty to disclose any such information.

8. TAXATION

 

 

8.1

Tax Obligations.

          (a) Customer confirms that Bank 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 Customer’s Accounts.

          (b) Customer will provide to Bank such certifications, 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. Customer undertakes to notify Bank immediately if any information requires updating or correcting. Bank shall not be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or additions to tax, payable or paid that result from (i) the inaccurate completion of documents by Customer or any third party; (ii) provision to Bank or a third party of inaccurate or misleading information by Customer or any 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 the Bank’s 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 nonresident 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. Customer will indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities, penalties, interest or additions to tax with respect to or resulting from, any delay in, or failure by, Bank (i) to pay, withhold or report any U.S. federal, state or local taxes or foreign taxes imposed on, or (ii) to report interest, dividend or other income paid or credited to the Cash Account, regardless of the reason for such delay or failure, provided, however, that Customer will not be liable to Bank for any penalty or additions to tax due solely as a result of Bank’s 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

24



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.

          (d) Customer confirms that Bank is authorized to disclose any information requested by any revenue authority or any governmental entity in relation to the processing of any tax relief claim.

9. TERMINATION

          Any party may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other parties. If Customer gives notice of termination, it must provide full details of the persons to whom Bank must deliver Financial Assets and cash. If Bank or JPMFM gives notice of termination, then Customer must, within sixty days, notify Bank of details of its new custodian, failing which Bank may elect (at any time after the sixty day notice period) either to retain the Financial Assets and cash until such details are given, continuing to charge fees due from JPMFM and expenses due from Customer (in which case Bank’s sole obligation will be for the safekeeping of the Financial Assets and cash), or deliver the Financial Assets and cash to Customer. Bank will in any event be entitled to deduct any amounts owing to it from Customer 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 from Customer). 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 any 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

26



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 £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 7th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, Portsoken Street, London, E1 8BN.

 

 

10.6

Insurance.

          Bank will not be required to maintain any insurance coverage for the benefit of Customer.

 

 

10.7

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. 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 Laws, 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 judgment) or other legal process, Customer shall not claim, and it hereby irrevocably waives, such immunity.

 

 

10.8

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 hereunder 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

 

27



or default, is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.

           (c) Bank’s rights, protections, and remedies under this Agreement shall survive its termination.

 

 

10.9

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.

 

 

10.10

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 Accounts.

 

 

10.11

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.

28




 

 

 

 

(ii)

its professional advisors, auditors or public accountants;

 

 

 

 

(iii)

its Affiliates to the extent Bank reasonably believes is required in connection with the customary review of Customer’s credit profile by such Affiliates and branches, and

 

 

 

 

(iv)

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


 

 

10.13

Fee Terms and Conditions

Bank’s fees shall remain in place for a period of 3 years from September 1, 2010.

Bank reserves the right to renegotiate its fee schedule at any time, should the Customer’s actual investment portfolio and/or trading activity differ significantly from the assumptions used to develop our fee proposal. In addition, Customer is permitted at any time to discontinue the use of Global Derivative Services for certain derivatives provided Customer has provided Bank with 30 days’ prior notice. The fee schedule may also be amended by mutual agreement of the parties if the Customer’s service requirements change; each party agrees to negotiate, diligently and in good faith, to agree upon new fees for such service requirement changes. Related to Fund Accounting services, bond broker quotes are currently included in the overall Fund Accounting fees. Should there be a significant increase in the use of bond broker quotes, Bank and the Customer agree to revisit this arrangement.

Fees for additional service(s) and/or market(s) added at the request of the Customer while this fee schedule is in effect will be assessed at Bank’s standard price(s), unless an alternative pricing arrangement is agreed upon in advance by the Customer and Bank.

Bank requires invoices to be paid in U.S. Dollars, unless Bank and the Customer have agreed upon alternative payment arrangements in advance of remittance.

Basis point fee(s), if applicable, will be calculated at the end of the monthly billing period using asset values derived by Bank from data provided by its selected pricing sources. In the event that Bank must rely on the Customer or a portfolio manager or other party(ies) selected by the Customer to provide valuation(s) for the purpose of calculating basis point fee(s), Bank must receive such valuations no later than 30 days after the end of the billing period in a format deemed acceptable by Bank. In the event that Bank does not receive valuations by the required date, Bank will render an invoice using the most recent valuation(s) received for the respective investment(s)/account(s).

Bank will present invoices monthly in arrears, with payment expected via appropriate billing arrangement, unless an alternative billing arrangement is negotiated between the Customer and Bank. All annual fees, including basis point fees, will be pro-rated based on the number of months included in the billing period.

Any customized technology projects required to meet the Customer specific requirements, such as nonstandard reporting requirements, system interfaces or enhancements, will be billed to the Customer based on the time and materials required to design, develop, test and deliver the project, unless an alternative arrangement is negotiated between the Customer and Bank.
