with respect to central depositories and clearing agencies or with respect to custody arrangements in the countries listed on Schedule D, attached hereto, as that Schedule may be amended from time to time by notice to the Fund.

(b) With respect to each arrangement with any Sub-custodian regarding the assets of any investment portfolio of the Fund for which Custodian has responsibility under this Section 3A (a “Foreign Custodian”), Custodian shall:

4. Use of Sub-Custodians and Securities Depositories.

With respect to property of a Portfolio which is maintained by the Custodian in the custody of a Sub-Custodian pursuant to Section 3:

(a) The Custodian will identify on its books as belonging to the particular Portfolio any property held by such Sub-Custodian.

(b) In the event that a Sub-Custodian permits any of the Securities placed in its care to be held in a foreign securities depository, such Sub-Custodian will be required by its agreement with the Custodian to identify on its books such Securities as being held for the account of the Custodian as a custodian for its customers.

(d) The Custodian will only deposit property of a Portfolio in an account with a Sub-Custodian which includes exclusively the assets held by the Custodian for its

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 4

customers, and will cause such account to be designated by such Sub-Custodian as a special custody account for the exclusive benefit of customers of the Custodian.

(e) Before any Securities are placed in a foreign securities depository, the Custodian shall provide the fund’s Board of Directors with an analysis of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with the foreign securities depository.

(f) The Custodian or its agent shall continue to monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining the Securities with a foreign securities depository and shall promptly notify the Fund’s Board of Directors of any material changes in said risks.

5. Compensation.

(a) The Fund will compensate the Custodian for its services rendered under this Agreement in accordance with the fees set forth in the Fee Schedule annexed hereto as Schedule C and incorporated herein. Such Fee Schedule does not include reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements of the Custodian for which the Custodian shall be entitled to bill separately.

(b) If the Fund requests that the Custodian act as Custodian for any Portfolio hereafter established, at the time the Custodian commences serving as such for said Portfolio, the compensation for such services shall be reflected in a fee schedule for that Portfolio, dated and signed by an officer of each party hereto, which shall be attached to or otherwise reflected in Schedule C of this Agreement.

(c) Any compensation agreed to hereunder may be adjusted from time to time by attaching to Schedule C, or replacing Schedule C with, a revised Fee Schedule, dated and signed by an officer of each party hereto.

(d) The Custodian will bill the Fund for its services to each Portfolio hereunder as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar month, and said billings will be detailed in accordance with the Fee Schedule for the Fund. The method for calculating fees will be agreed to in writing from time to time by the parties. The Fund will promptly pay to the Custodian the amount of such billing. The Custodian shall have a claim of payment against the property in each Portfolio for any compensation or expense amount owing to the Custodian in connection with such Portfolio from time to time under this Agreement.

(e) The Custodian (not the Fund) will be responsible for the payment of the compensation of each Sub-Custodian.

6. Custody of Cash and Securities.

(a) Receipt and Holding of Assets. The Fund will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian and any Sub-Custodians all Securities and moneys of any Portfolio at any time during the period of this Agreement and shall specify the Portfolio to

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 5

which the Securities and moneys are to be specifically allocated. The Custodian will not be responsible for such Securities and moneys until actually received by it or by a Sub-Custodian. The Fund may, from time to time in its sole discretion, provide the Custodian with Instructions as to the manner in which and in what amounts Securities, and moneys of a Portfolio are to be held on behalf of such Portfolio in the Book-Entry System or a Depository. Securities and moneys of a Portfolio held in the Book-Entry System or a Depository will be held in accounts which include only assets of Custodian that are held for its customers.

(b) Accounts and Disbursements. The Custodian shall establish and maintain a separate account for each Portfolio and shall credit to the separate account all moneys received by it or a Sub-Custodian for the account of such Portfolio and shall disburse, or cause a Sub-Custodian to disburse, the same only:

1. In payment for Securities purchased for the Portfolio, as provided in Section 7 hereof;

2. In payment of dividends or distributions with respect to the Shares of such Portfolio, as provided in Section 11 hereof;

3. In payment of original issue or other taxes with respect to the Shares of such Portfolio, as provided in Section 12(c) hereof;

4. In payment for Shares which have been redeemed by such Portfolio, as provided in Section 12 hereof;

5. In payment of fees and in reimbursement of the expenses and liabilities of the Custodian attributable to the Fund, as provided in Sections 5 and 16(h) hereof;

6. Pursuant to Instructions setting forth the name of the Portfolio and the name and address of the person to whom the payment is to be made, the amount to be paid and the purpose for which payment is to be made.

(c) Fail Float. In the event that any payment made for a Portfolio under this Section 6 exceeds the funds available in that Portfolio’s account, the Custodian or relevant Sub-Custodian, as the case may be, may, in its discretion, advance the Fund on behalf of that Portfolio an amount equal to such excess and such advance shall be deemed an overdraft from the Custodian or such Sub-Custodian to that Portfolio payable on demand, bearing interest at the rate of interest customarily charged by the Custodian or such Sub-Custodian on similar overdrafts.

(d) Confirmation and Statements. At least monthly, the Custodian shall furnish the Fund with a detailed statement of the Securities and moneys held by it and all Sub-Custodians for each Portfolio. Where securities purchased for a Portfolio are in a fungible bulk of securities registered in the name of the Custodian (or its nominee) or shown on the Custodian’s account on the books of a Depository, the Book-Entry System or a Sub-Custodian, the Custodian shall maintain such

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 6

records as are necessary to enable it to identify the quantity of those securities held for such Portfolio. In the absence of the filing in writing with the Custodian by the Fund of exceptions or objections to any such statement within 90 days after the date that a material defect is reasonably discoverable, the Fund shall be deemed to have approved such statement; and in such case or upon written approval of the Fund of any such statement the Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law and provided the Custodian has met the standard of care in Section 16 hereof, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters and things set forth in such statement as though such statement had been settled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action in which the Fund and all persons having any equity interest in the Fund were parties.

(e) Registration of Securities and Physical Separation. All Securities held for a Portfolio which are issued or issuable only in bearer form, except such Securities as are held in the Book-Entry System, shall be held by the Custodian or a Sub-Custodian in that form; all other Securities held for a Portfolio may be registered in the name of that Portfolio, in the name of any duly appointed registered nominee of the Custodian or a Sub-Custodian as the Custodian or such Sub-Custodian may from time to time determine, or in the name of the Book-Entry System or a Depository or their successor or successors, or their nominee or nominees. The Fund reserves the right to instruct the Custodian as to the method of registration and safekeeping of the Securities. The Fund agrees to furnish to the Custodian appropriate instruments to enable the Custodian or any Sub-Custodian to hold or deliver in proper form for transfer, or to register in the name of its registered nominee or in the name of the Book-Entry System or a Depository, any Securities which the Custodian of a Sub-Custodian may hold for the account of a Portfolio and which may from time to time be registered in the name of a Portfolio. The Custodian shall hold all such Securities specifically allocated to a Portfolio which are not held in the Book-Entry System or a Depository in a separate account for such Portfolio in the name of such Portfolio physically segregated at all times from those of any other person or persons.

(f) Segregated Accounts. Upon receipt of an Instruction, the Custodian will establish segregated accounts on behalf of a Portfolio to hold liquid or other assets as it shall be directed by such Instruction and shall increase or decrease the assets in such segregated accounts only as it shall be directed by subsequent Instruction.

9. Investment in Futures, Options on Futures and Options

The Custodian shall pursuant to Instructions (which may be standing instructions) (i) with respect to futures or options on futures, transfer initial margin to a futures commission merchant or safekeeping bank or, with respect to options, transfer collateral to a broker; (ii) pay or demand variation margin to or from a designated futures commission merchant or other broker based on daily marking to market calculations and in accordance with accepted industry practices; and (iii) subject to the Custodian’s consent, enter into separate procedural, safekeeping or other agreements with respect to the custody of initial margin deposits or collateral in transactions involving futures contracts or options, as the case may be. The Custodian shall have no custodial or investment responsibility for any assets transferred to a safekeeping bank, futures commission merchant or broker pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, in connection with options transactions in a Portfolio, the Custodian is authorized to pledge assets of the Portfolio as collateral for such transactions in accordance with industry practice.

10. Provisional Credits and Debits.

(a) The Custodian is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to credit the account of a Portfolio provisionally on payable date with interest, dividends, distributions, redemptions or other amounts due. Otherwise, such amounts will be credited to the Portfolio on the date such amounts are actually received and reconciled to the Portfolio. In cases where the Custodian has credited a Portfolio with such amounts prior to actual collection and reconciliation, the Fund acknowledges that the Custodian shall be entitled to recover any such credit on demand from the Fund and further agrees that the Custodian may reverse such credit if and to the extent that Custodian does not receive such amounts in the ordinary course of business.

(b) The Fund recognizes that any decision to effect a provisional credit or an advancement of the Custodian’s own funds under this agreement will be an accommodation granted entirely at the Custodian’s option and in light of the particular circumstances, which circumstances may involve conditions in different countries, markets and classes of assets at different times. The Fund shall make the Custodian whole for any loss which it may incur from granting such accommodations and acknowledges that the Custodian shall be entitled to recover any relevant amounts from the Fund on demand. All amounts thus due to the Custodian shall be paid by the Fund from the account of the relevant Portfolio unless otherwise paid on a timely basis and in that connection the Fund acknowledges that the Custodian has a continuing lien on all assets of such Portfolio to secure such payments and agrees that the Custodian may apply or set off against such amounts any amounts credited by or due from the Custodian to the Fund. If funds in the Portfolio are insufficient to make any such payment the Fund shall promptly deliver to the Custodian the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds when and as specified by the Custodian’s written or oral notification to the Fund.

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 11

(c) In connection with the Custodian’s global custody service the Fund will maintain deposits at the Custodian’s London Branch. The Fund acknowledges and agrees that such deposits are payable only in the currency in which an applicable deposit is denominated; that such deposits are payable only on the Fund’s demand at the Custodian’s London Branch; that such deposits are not payable at any of the Custodian’s offices in the United States; and that the Custodian will not in any manner directly or indirectly promise or guarantee any such payment in the United States.

The Fund further acknowledges and agrees that such deposits are subject to cross-border risk, and therefore the Custodian will have no obligation to make payment of deposits if and to the extent that the Custodian is prevented from doing so by reason of applicable law or regulation or any Sovereign Risk event affecting the London Branch or the currency in which the applicable deposit is denominated. “Sovereign Risk” for this purpose means nationalization, expropriation, devaluation, revaluation, confiscation, seizure, cancellation, destruction or similar action by any governmental authority, de facto or de jure; or enactment, promulgation, imposition or enforcement by any such governmental authority of currency restrictions, exchange controls, taxes, levies or other charges affecting the property rights of persons who are not residents of the affected jurisdiction; or acts of war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or any other act or event beyond the Custodian’s control.

THE FUND ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS MAINTAINED AT FOREIGN BRANCHES OF UNITED STATES BANKS (INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, ACCOUNTS IN WHICH CUSTOMER FUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF SECURITIES ARE HELD ON AND AFTER CONTRACTUAL SETTLEMENT DATE), ARE NOT INSURED BY THE U.S. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION; MAY NOT BE GUARANTEED BY ANY LOCAL OR FOREIGN GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY; ARE UNSECURED; AND IN A LIQUIDATION MAY BE SUBORDINATED IN PRIORITY OF PAYMENT TO DOMESTIC (U.S.- DOMICILED) DEPOSITS. THEREFORE, BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF SUCH FOREIGN BRANCH DEPOSITS MAY BE UNSECURED CREDITORS OF THE NORTHERN TRUST COMPANY.

Deposit account balances that are owned by United States residents are expected to be maintained in an aggregate amount of at least $100,000 or the equivalent in other currencies.

11. Payment of Dividends or Distributions.

(a) In the event that the Board of Directors of the Fund (or a committee thereof) authorizes the declaration of dividends or distributions with respect to a Portfolio, an Authorized Person shall provide the Custodian with Instructions specifying the record date, the date of payment of such distribution and the total amount payable to the Transfer Agent or its designee on such payment date.

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 12

(b) Upon the payment date specified in such Instructions, the Custodian shall pay the total amount payable to the Transfer Agent or its designee out of the moneys specifically allocated to and held for the account of the appropriate Portfolio.

12. Sale and Redemption of Shares.

(a) Whenever the Fund shall sell any Shares, the Fund shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian an Instruction specifying the name of the Portfolio whose Shares were sold and the amount to be received by the Custodian for the sale of such Shares.

(b) Upon receipt of such amount from the Transfer Agent or its designee, the Custodian shall credit such money to the separate account of the Portfolio specified in the Instruction described in paragraph (a) above.

(c) Upon issuance of any Shares in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, the Custodian shall pay all original issue or other taxes required to be paid in connection with such issuance upon the receipt of an Instruction specifying the amount to be paid.

(d) Except as provided hereafter, whenever any Shares are redeemed, the Fund shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian an Instruction specifying the name of the Portfolio whose Shares were redeemed and the total amount to be paid for the Shares redeemed.

(e) Upon receipt of an Instruction described in paragraph (d) above, the Custodian shall pay to the Transfer Agent (or such other person as the Transfer Agent directs) the total amount specified in such Instruction.

The Fund shall promptly deliver to the Custodian an Instruction stating with respect to each such borrowing: (1) the name of the Portfolio for which the borrowing is to be made; (2) the name of the bank; (3) the amount and terms of the borrowing, which may be set forth by incorporating by reference an attached promissory note, duly endorsed by the Fund, or other loan agreement; (4) the time and date, if known, on which the loan is to be entered into (the “borrowing date”); (5) the date on which the loan becomes due and payable; (6) the total amount payable to the Fund for the separate account of the Portfolio on the borrowing date; (7) the market value of Securities to be delivered as collateral for such loan, including the name of the issuer, the title and the number of shares or the principal amount of any particular Securities; (8) whether the Custodian is to deliver such collateral through the Book-Entry System or a Depository; and (9) a statement that such loan is in conformance with the 1940 Act and the Prospectus.

(b) Upon receipt of the Instruction referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Custodian shall deliver on the borrowing date the specified collateral and the executed promissory note, if any, against delivery by the lending bank of the total amount of the loan payable; provided that the same conforms to the total amount payable as set forth in the Instruction. The Custodian may, at the option of the lending bank, keep such collateral in its possession, but such collateral shall be subject to all rights therein given the lending bank by virtue of any promissory note or loan agreement. The Custodian shall deliver as additional collateral in the manner directed by the Fund from time to time such Securities specifically allocated to such Portfolio as may be specified in the Instruction to collateralize further any transaction described in this Section 13. The Fund shall cause all Securities released from collateral status to be returned directly to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall receive from time to time such return of collateral as may be tendered to it. In the event that the Fund fails to specify in such Instruction all of the information required by this Section 13, the Custodian shall not be under any obligation to deliver any Securities. Collateral returned to the Custodian shall be held hereunder as it was prior to being used as collateral.

14. Corporate Action.

(a) Whenever the Custodian or any Sub-Custodian receives information concerning Securities held for a Portfolio which requires discretionary action by the beneficial owner of the Securities (other than a proxy), such as subscription rights, bond issues, stock repurchase plans and rights offerings, or legal notices or other material intended to be transmitted to Securities holders (“Corporate Actions”), the Custodian will give the Fund or its designee notice of such Corporate Actions to the extent that the Custodian’s central corporate actions department has actual knowledge of a Corporate Action in time to notify the Fund.

(b) The Custodian shall act on Corporate Actions solely as directed by the Fund or its designee. If a Portfolio receives a distribution of rights, the Custodian shall hold to expiration, sell or exercise such rights solely as directed by the Fund or its designee. If a corporation whose common stock shares are held in the Portfolio declares a dividend in such stock, and payment of such dividend results in a fractional share, the Custodian shall promptly sell such fraction in any global market where such fractional share is not permitted.

(c) The Custodian will deliver proxies to the Fund or its designated agent pursuant to special arrangements which may have been agreed to in writing between the parties hereto. Such proxies shall be executed in the appropriate nominee name relating to Securities registered in the name of such nominee but without indicating the manner in which such proxies are to be voted; and where bearer Securities are involved, proxies will be delivered in accordance with an applicable Instruction, if any.

15. Persons Having Access to the Portfolios.

(a) Neither the Fund nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser, or any sub-investment adviser, shall have physical access to the assets of any Portfolio held by the Custodian or any Sub-Custodian or be authorized or permitted to withdraw any investments of a Portfolio, nor shall the Custodian or any Sub-Custodian deliver any assets of a Portfolio to any such person. No officer, director, employee or agent of the Custodian who holds any similar position with the Fund’s investment adviser, with any sub-investment adviser of the Fund or with the Fund shall have access to the assets of any Portfolio.

(b) Nothing in this Section 15 shall prohibit any Authorized Person from giving Instructions to the Custodian so long as such Instructions do not result in delivery of or access to assets of a Portfolio prohibited by paragraph (a) of this Section 15.

(c) The Custodian represents that it maintains a system that is reasonably designed to prevent unauthorized persons from having access to the assets that it holds (by any means) for its customers.

16. Concerning the Custodian.

(a) Scope of Services. The Custodian shall be obligated to perform only such services as are set forth in this Agreement or expressly contained in an Instruction given to the Custodian which is not contrary to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Standard of Care.

1. The Custodian will use reasonable care, prudence and diligence with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of property of the Portfolios. The Custodian shall be liable to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from and against any loss which shall occur as the result of the failure of the Custodian or a Sub-Custodian to exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence with respect to their respective obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of such property. The determination of whether the Custodian or Sub-Custodian has exercised reasonable care, prudence and diligence in connection with their obligations under this Agreement shall be made in light of prevailing standards applicable to professional custodians in the jurisdiction in which such custodial services are performed. In the event of any loss to the Fund by reason of the failure of the Custodian or a Sub-Custodian to exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence, the Custodian shall be liable to the Fund only to the extent of the Fund’s direct damages and expenses, which damages, for purposes of property only, shall be determined based on the market value of the property which is the subject of the loss at the date of discovery of such loss and without reference to any special condition or circumstances.

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 15

2. The Custodian will not be responsible for any act, omission, or default of, or for the solvency of, any central securities depository or clearing agency.

3. The Custodian will not be responsible for any act, omission, or default of, or for the solvency of, any broker or agent (not referred to in paragraph (b)(2) above) which it or a Sub-Custodian appoints and uses unless such appointment and use is made or done negligently or in bad faith. In the event such an appointment and use is made or done negligently or in bad faith, the Custodian shall be liable to the Fund only for direct damages and expenses (determined in the manner described in paragraph (b)(1) above) resulting from such appointment and use and, in the case of any loss due to an act, omission or default of such agent or broker, only to the extent that such loss occurs as a result of the failure of the agent or broker to exercise reasonable care (“reasonable care” for this purpose to be determined in light of the prevailing standards applicable to agents or brokers, as appropriate, in the jurisdiction where the services are performed).

4. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely, and may act, upon the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Fund) on any matter in connection with an instruction, direction or request by the Fund and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted in good faith and without negligence pursuant to such advice.

5. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any Instruction it receives pursuant to the applicable Sections of this Agreement that it reasonably believes to be genuine and to be from an Authorized Person. In the event that the Custodian receives oral Instructions, the Fund or its designee shall cause to be delivered to the Custodian, by the close of business on the same day that such oral Instructions were given to the Custodian, written Instructions confirming such oral Instructions, whether by hand delivery, telex or otherwise. The Fund agrees that the fact that no such confirming written Instructions are received by the Custodian shall in no way affect the validity of the transactions or enforceability of the transactions hereby authorized by the Fund. The Fund agrees that the Custodian shall incur no liability to the Fund in connection with (i) acting upon oral Instructions given to the Custodian hereunder; provided such instructions reasonably appear to have been received from an Authorized Person or (ii) deciding not to act solely upon oral Instructions; provided that the Custodian first contacts the giver of such oral Instructions and requests written confirmation immediately following any such decision not to act.

6. The Custodian shall supply the Fund or its designee with such daily information regarding the cash and Securities positions and activity of each Portfolio as the Custodian and the Fund or its designee shall from time to time agree. It is understood that such information will not be audited by the Custodian and the Custodian represents that such

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 16

information will be the best information then available to the Custodian. The Custodian shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the pricing of Securities, accruing for income, valuing the effect of Corporate Actions, or for the failure of the Fund or its designee to reconcile differences between the information supplied by the Custodian and information obtained by the Fund or its designee from other sources, including but not limited to pricing vendors and the Fund’s investment adviser. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any miscalculation by the Fund or its designee of a Portfolio’s net asset value is attributable to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Custodian (including any Sub-Custodian ) in supplying or omitting to supply the Fund or its designee with information as aforesaid, the Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for any resulting loss (subject to such de minimis rule of change in value as the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt).

(c) 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 any Portfolio, the legality of the purchase thereof, or the propriety of the amount specified by the Fund or its designee for payment therefor;

2. The legality of the sale of any Securities by any Portfolio or the propriety of the amount of consideration 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 dividend or distribution by the Fund; or

6. The legality of any borrowing.

(d) The Custodian need not maintain any insurance for the exclusive benefit of the Fund, but hereby warrants that as of the date of this Agreement it is maintaining a bankers Blanket Bond and hereby agrees to notify the Fund in the event that such bond is canceled or otherwise lapses.

(e) Consistent with and without limiting the language contained in Section 16(a), it is specifically acknowledged that the Custodian shall have no duty or responsibility to:

AIT – Independent Franchise Partners NTAC:2SE-18 Page 17

2. Supervise or make recommendations with respect to investments or the retention of Securities;

(f) Amounts Due from or to Transfer Agent. The Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to take action to effect collection of any amount due to any Portfolio from the Transfer Agent or its designee nor to take any action to effect payment or distribution by the Transfer Agent or its designee of any amount paid by the Custodian to the Transfer Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

(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 and specifically allocated to a Portfolio are such as may properly be held by the Fund under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and the Prospectus.

(h) Indemnification. The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from all loss, cost, taxes, charges, assessments, claims, and liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the 1940 Act and state or foreign securities laws) and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising directly or indirectly from any action taken or omitted by the Custodian (i) at the request or on the direction of or in reliance on the advice of the Fund or in reasonable reliance upon the Prospectus or (ii) upon an Instruction; provided, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, cost, tax, charge, assessment, claim, liability or expense to the extent the same is attributable to the Custodian’s or any Sub-Custodian’s negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duties and obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the custody of Fund property.

(i) The Fund agrees to hold the Custodian harmless from any liability or loss resulting from the imposition or assessment of any taxes or other governmental charges on a Portfolio.

(j) Without limiting the foregoing, the Custodian shall not be liable for any loss which results from:

2. subject to Section 16(b) hereof, investing or holding property in a particular country including, but not limited to, losses resulting from nationalization, expropriation or other governmental actions; regulation of

3. consequential, special or punitive damages for any act or failure to act under any provision of this Agreement, even if advised of the possibility thereof.

(k) Force Majeure. No party shall be liable to the other for any delay in performance, or non- performance, of any obligation hereunder to the extent that the same is due to forces beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to delays, errors or interruptions caused by the other party or third parties, any industrial, juridical, governmental, civil or military action, acts of terrorism, insurrection or revolution, nuclear fusion, fission or radiation, failure or fluctuation in electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment, or acts of God.

All such records shall be the property of the Fund and shall at all times during regular business hours of the Custodian be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees and agents of the Fund and by the appropriate employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Custodian shall, at the Fund’s request, supply the Fund with a tabulation of Securities and shall, when requested to do so by the Fund and for such compensation as shall be agreed upon between the Fund and the Custodian, include certificate numbers in such tabulations.

(m) Accounting Control Report. The Custodian shall provide, promptly, upon request of the Fund, such reports as are available concerning the internal accounting controls and financial strength of the Custodian.

This Agreement may be terminated by either party by providing the other party with at least sixty (60) days written notice of termination, specifying the date of such termination.

Custodian may seek a waiver of such confidentiality provisions by furnishing reasonable prior notice to the Fund and obtaining approval in writing from the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Waivers of confidentiality are automatically effective without further action by Custodian where Custodian may be exposed to civil or criminal fines, contempt proceedings or other liability for failure to comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities with respect to Internal Revenue Service levies, subpoenas or similar actions, or with respect to requests by the Fund, however Custodian agrees to provide the Fund with notice of such request when permitted by applicable law.

Until such new certification is received by the Custodian, the Custodian shall be fully protected in acting under the provisions of this Agreement upon Instructions which Custodian reasonably believes were given by an Authorized Person, as identified in the last delivered certification. Unless such certification specifically limits the authority of an Authorized Person to specific matters or requires that the approval of another Authorized Person is required, Custodian shall be under no duty to inquire into the right of such person, acting alone, to give any instructions whatsoever under this Agreement.

(c) Any notice or other instrument in writing, authorized or required by this Agreement to be given to the Custodian, shall be sufficiently given if addressed to
