(a) J.P. Morgan will establish and maintain the following accounts ("Accounts"):

(i) one or more Securities Accounts in the name of the Customer (or in another name requested by the Customer that is acceptable to J.P. Morgan) for Financial Assets, which may be held by J.P. Morgan or a Subcustodian or a Securities Depository for J.P. Morgan on behalf of the Customer, including as an Entitlement Holder; and

(ii) one or more accounts in the name of the Customer (or in another name requested by the Customer that is acceptable to J.P. Morgan) ("Cash Account") for any and all cash in any currency received by or on behalf of J.P. Morgan for the account of the Customer.

Notwithstanding paragraph 2.1(a)(ii), cash held in respect of those markets where the Customer is required to have a cash account in its own name held directly with the relevant Subcustodian or Securities Depository will be held in that manner and will not be part of the Cash Account.

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

(c) In the event that the Customer requests the opening of any additional Account for the purpose of holding collateral pledged by the Customer to a securities exchange, clearing corporation, or other central counterparty (a “Counterparty”) to secure trading activity by the Customer, or the pledge to a Counterparty of cash or individual Securities held in an Account, that Account (or the pledged cash or Securities) shall be subject to the collateral arrangements in effect between J.P. Morgan and the Counterparty in addition to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) J.P. Morgan’s obligation to open Accounts pursuant to Section 2.1(a) is conditional upon J.P. Morgan receiving such of the following documents as J.P. Morgan may require:

(i) a certified copy of the Customer's constitutional documents as currently in force;

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - May 2012

EXECUTION COPY  

(ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to J.P. Morgan of the due authorization and execution of this Agreement by the Customer (for example by a certified copy of a resolution of the Customer's board of directors or equivalent governing body, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2);

(iii) J.P. Morgan’s standard form fund manager mandate completed by the fund manager designated by the Customer; and

(iv) in the case of any Account opened in a name not that of the Customer, documentation with respect to that name similar to that set forth in sub-sections (i) – (iii).

2.2 Cash Account

(a) Any amount standing to the credit of the Cash Account will be either:

(i) deposited during the period it is credited to the Accounts in one or more deposit accounts at J.P. Morgan’s head office or at one of its non-U.S. branch offices and will constitute a debt owing to the Customer by J.P. Morgan as a banker, provided that any cash so deposited with a non- U.S. branch office will be payable exclusively by that branch office 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; or

(ii) placed by J.P. Morgan with a bank or other financial institution in the country in which the applicable currency is issued, in which case the deposit will constitute a debt owing to the Customer by that bank or other financial institution and not J.P. Morgan, payable exclusively in the applicable currency at that bank or financial institution.

(b) Any amounts credited by J.P. Morgan to the Cash Account on the basis of a notice or an interim credit from a third party, may be reversed if J.P. Morgan does not receive final payment in a timely manner. J.P. Morgan will notify the Customer promptly of any such reversal.

2.3 Segregation of Assets; Nominee Name

(a) J.P. Morgan will identify in its books that Financial Assets credited to the Customer’s Securities Account belong to the Customer (except as otherwise may be agreed by J.P. Morgan and the Customer).

(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law or market practice, J.P. Morgan will require each Subcustodian to identify in its own books that Financial Assets held at such Subcustodian by J.P. Morgan on behalf of its customers belong to customers of J.P. Morgan, such that it is readily apparent that the Financial Assets do not belong to J.P. Morgan or the Subcustodian.

(c) J.P. Morgan is authorized, in its discretion:

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - May 2012

 5

EXECUTION COPY  

(i) to hold in bearer form, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in bearer form or are delivered to J.P. Morgan or its Subcustodian in bearer form;

(ii) to hold Securities in or deposit Securities with any Securities Depository;

(iii) to hold Securities in omnibus accounts on a fungible basis and to accept delivery of Securities of the same class and denomination as those deposited with J.P. Morgan or its Subcustodian;

(iv) to register in the name of the Customer, J.P. Morgan, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository, or their respective nominees, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in registered form; and

(v) to decline to accept any asset or property which it deems to be unsuitable or inconsistent with its custodial operations.

2.4 Settlement of Transactions

Subject to Article 3 and Section 4.2 of this Agreement, J.P. Morgan will act in accordance with Instructions with respect to settlement of transactions. Settlement will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Customer authorizes J.P. Morgan to deliver Securities or payment in accordance with applicable market practice in advance of receipt or settlement of consideration expected in connection with such delivery or payment, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that such action alone will not of itself constitute negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of J.P. Morgan, and the risk of loss arising from any such action will be borne by the Customer. In the case of the failure of the Customer’s counterparty (or other appropriate party) to deliver the expected consideration as agreed, J.P. Morgan will notify the Customer of such failure. If the Customer’s counterparty continues to fail to deliver the expected consideration, J.P. Morgan will provide information reasonably requested by the Customer that J.P. Morgan has in its possession to allow the Customer to enforce rights that the Customer has against the Customer’s counterparty, but neither J.P. Morgan nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any similar action. J.P. Morgan agrees to consult with Customer and provide the Customer with such assistance as it determines is reasonable in the circumstances (at Customer’s expense) in the event that the Customer wishes to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceedings, or take any similar action in its own name.

2.5 Contractual Settlement Date Accounting

(a) J.P. Morgan will effect book entries on a contractual settlement date accounting basis as described below with respect to the settlement for those Financial Assets and transactions as to which J.P. Morgan customarily offers contractual settlement date accounting. J.P.

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - May 2012

 6

EXECUTION COPY  

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

(i) Sales: On the settlement date for a sale, J.P. Morgan will credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale and, if not already delivered, transfer the relevant Financial Assets to an account at J.P. Morgan pending settlement of the transaction.

(ii) Purchases: On the settlement date for a purchase (or earlier, if market practice requires delivery of the purchase price before the settlement date), J.P. Morgan will debit the Cash Account for the settlement amount and credit a separate account at J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan will then post the Securities Account as awaiting receipt of the expected Financial Assets. The Customer will not be entitled to the delivery of Financial Assets until J.P. Morgan or a Subcustodian actually receives them.

Upon request, J.P. Morgan shall provide the Customer with a list of those markets for which it provides contractual settlement date accounting. J.P. Morgan may add markets to or remove markets from such list upon reasonable notice to the Customer.

(b) J.P. Morgan may reverse any debit or credit made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a transaction's actual settlement upon notice to the Customer in cases where J.P. Morgan reasonably believes that the transaction will not settle in the ordinary course within a reasonable time. The Customer will be responsible for any costs or Liabilities resulting from such reversal. The Customer acknowledges that the procedures described in Section 2.5 are of an administrative nature, and J.P. Morgan does not undertake to make loans and/or Financial Assets available to the Customer.

2.6 Actual Settlement Date Accounting

With respect to settlement of a transaction that is not posted to the Account on the contractual settlement date as referred to in Section 2.5, J.P. Morgan will post the transaction on the date on which the cash or Financial Assets received as consideration for the transaction is actually received and settled by J.P. Morgan.

2.7 Income Collection (AutoCreditâ)

(a) J.P. Morgan will monitor information publicly available in the applicable market about forthcoming income payments on the Financial Assets, and will promptly notify the Customer of such information.

(b) J.P. Morgan will credit the Cash Account with income proceeds on Financial Assets on the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by J.P. Morgan or any third party (“AutoCredit”) for those Financial Assets and/or markets as to which J.P. Morgan customarily

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - May 2012

 7

EXECUTION COPY  

offers an AutoCredit service. J.P. Morgan reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of AutoCredit for credit or operational reasons. Upon request, J.P. Morgan shall provide the Customer with a list of AutoCredit eligible markets. J.P. Morgan may add markets to or remove markets from the list of AutoCredit markets upon notice to the Customer that is reasonable in the circumstances. J.P. Morgan may reverse AutoCredit credits upon oral or written notification to the Customer if J.P. Morgan believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by J.P. Morgan within a reasonable period or the credit was incorrect.

(c) When the AutoCredit service is not available, income on Financial Assets, net of any taxes withheld by J.P. Morgan or any third party, will be credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation by J.P. Morgan.

(d) J.P. Morgan will use reasonable efforts to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds and notify the Customer of the late payment, but neither J.P. Morgan 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 Miscellaneous Administrative Duties

(a) Until J.P. Morgan receives Instructions to the contrary, J.P. Morgan will:

(i) present all Financial Assets for which J.P. Morgan 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;

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

(iii) exchange interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title.

(b) In the event that, as a result of holding of Financial Assets in an omnibus account, the Customer receives fractional interests in Financial Assets arising out of a Corporate Action or class action litigation, J.P. Morgan will credit the Customer with the amount of cash it would have received had the Financial Assets not been held in an omnibus account, and the Customer shall relinquish to J.P. Morgan its interest in such fractional interests.

(c) If some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Assets is called for redemption, J.P. Morgan may allot the amount redeemed among the respective beneficial holders of such a class of Financial Assets on a pro rata basis or in a similar manner J.P. Morgan deems fair and equitable.

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - May 2012

EXECUTION COPY

(b) J.P. Morgan will act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such Corporate Actions. If the Customer fails to provide J.P. Morgan with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action, neither J.P.

Morgan and the Customer or as may be set forth by J.P. Morgan as a default action in the notification it provides under Section 2.9(a) with respect to that Corporate Action.

2.10 Class Action Litigation

Any notices received by J.P. Morgan’s corporate actions department about settled securities class action litigation that requires action by affected owners of the underlying Financial Assets will be promptly notified to the Customer if J.P. Morgan, using reasonable care and diligence in the circumstances, identifies that the Customer was a shareholder and held the relevant Financial Assets in custody with J.P. Morgan at the relevant time. J.P. Morgan will not make filings in the name of the Customer in respect to such notifications except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Customer and J.P. Morgan. The services set forth in this Section 2.10 are available only in certain markets, details of which are available from J.P. Morgan on request.

2.11 Proxies

(a) J.P. Morgan will monitor information distributed to holders of Financial Assets about upcoming shareholder meetings, promptly notify the Customer of such information and, subject to Section 2.11(c), act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such meetings (the “Proxy Voting Service”).

Morgan will provide the Customer with electronic access to Account information (the “Information”) that will enable the Customer to generate or receive reports and statements of account for each Account, identifying cash and Financial Assets held in the Account as well as Account transactions. The Customer will review the Information and give J.P. Morgan written notice of (i) any suspected error or omission or (ii) the Customer’s inability to access any such Information. The Customer will provide J.P. Morgan such notice within a reasonable time after (x) the Information is made available to the Customer or (y) the Customer discovers that it is unable to access the Information, as the case may be.

(b) The Customer acknowledges that information available to it electronically with respect to transactions posted after the close of the prior business day may not be accurate due to mis-postings, delays in updating Account records, and other causes.

Morgan from time to time, for such overdrafts, from the date of such advance to the date of payment (including after the date any judgment may be entered against the Customer with respect to any overdraft) and otherwise on the terms on which J.P. Morgan makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. No prior action or course of dealing on J.P.

(b) Subject to Section 5.1(a) and J.P. Morgan’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 J.P. Morgan in its oversight process, J.P. Morgan will not be responsible for any losses (whether direct or indirect) incurred by the Customer that result from the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or an Affiliated Subcustodian Bank.

Morgan is unwilling to assume any related credit risk. J.P.

This Agreement will be construed, regulated, and administered under the laws of the United States or State of New York, as applicable, without regard to New York’s principles regarding conflict of laws, except that the foregoing shall not reduce any statutory right to choose New York law or forum. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York will have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any lawsuit or other judicial proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement. If that court lacks federal subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction. Either of these courts will have proper venue for any such lawsuit or judicial proceeding, and the parties waive any objection to venue or their convenience as a forum. The parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of any of the courts specified and to accept service of process to vest personal jurisdiction over them in any of these courts. The parties further hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to a trial by jury with respect to any such lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. To the extent that in any jurisdiction the Customer or J.P. Morgan 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, the Customer or J.P. Morgan shall not claim, and it hereby irrevocably waives, such immunity.

10.9 Severability; Waiver; and Survival

(a) If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect on the basis of any particular circumstances or in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision or provisions under other circumstances or in other jurisdictions and of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, no failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any power or right under this Agreement operates as a waiver, nor does any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise, or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by a party of any provision of this Agreement, or waiver of any breach or default, is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.

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

SCHEDULE 3

J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services Custody Restricted Markets Schedule

The following table identifies certain markets that J.P. Morgan has determined to be restricted markets and provides summary information about the nature of the restrictions applicable in each. J.P. Morgan reserves the right to update this Schedule from time to time upon notice to Customer.

Market	Restrictions
Costa Rica	Local currency will be held in one or more separate cash accounts that J.P. Morgan opens for the benefit of its customers with J.P. Morgan’s Costa Rican Subcustodian. If J.P. Morgan’s Costa Rican Subcustodian exits the market or becomes an unacceptable provider of subcustody services, J.P. Morgan may cease to provide custody services with respect to Securities that are safekept in Costa Rica. Although J.P. Morgan will work with customers to mitigate the impact of any decision to exit the market, it may not be practicable to give significant advance notice of the exit.
Iceland	Until further notice from J.P. Morgan, no deposits of Icelandic currency will be held in the Customer’s Cash Account except for the proceeds of sales of Icelandic Securities or where income and corporate action proceeds are paid in local currency. Until further notice from J.P. Morgan, any credit of Icelandic currency to the Customer’s Cash Account with J.P. Morgan will be conditional and subject to reversal by J.P. Morgan upon notice to Customer except to the extent that the funds are able to be applied at Customer’s Instruction to the purchase of Icelandic Securities or J.P. Morgan is able to repatriate the funds from J.P. Morgan’s Icelandic Subcustodian via a foreign exchange transaction (upon Instruction received from Customer). In this regard, Customer will be entitled to no more than Customer’s pro rata share of any recoveries that J.P. Morgan is able to obtain, as reasonably determined by J.P. Morgan.
Lithuania	Until further notice from J.P. Morgan, no deposits of Lithuanian currency will be held in the Customer’s Cash Account except for any existing balances and future proceeds of sales of Securities safekept in Lithuania (“Lithuanian Securities”) or where income and corporate action proceeds are paid in local currency. Until further notice from J.P. Morgan, any credit of Lithuanian currency to Customer’s Cash Account with J.P. Morgan will be conditional and subject to reversal by J.P. Morgan upon notice to Customer except to the extent that the funds are able to be applied at Customer’s direction to the purchase of Lithuanian Securities or J.P. Morgan is able to repatriate the funds from J.P. Morgan’s Lithuanian Subcustodian via a foreign exchange transaction (upon Instruction received from Customer). In this regard, Customer will be entitled to no more than Customer’s pro rata share of any recoveries that J.P. Morgan is able to obtain, as reasonably determined by J.P. Morgan.
Malawi	Local currency will be held in one or more separate cash accounts that J.P. Morgan opens for the benefit of its customers with J.P. Morgan’s Malawi Subcustodian. Due to unclear standards in the Malawi market with respect to the completion and submission of corporate action elections, J.P. Morgan will be subject to a “reasonable efforts” standard of care with respect to any Corporate Action related to Securities safekept in Malawi (“Malawi Securities”). If J.P. Morgan’s Malawi Subcustodian exits the market or becomes an unacceptable provider of subcustody services, J.P. Morgan may cease to provide custody services with

Market	Restrictions
	respect to Malawi Securities. Although J.P. Morgan will work with customers to mitigate the impact of any decision to exit the market, it may not be practicable to give significant advance notice of the exit.
Palestinian Territories	Until further notice from J.P. Morgan, any credit of U.S. Dollars or Jordanian Dinars to the Customer’s Cash Account with J.P. Morgan applied at Customer’s direction to the purchase or sale of Securities safekept in the Palestinian Territories will be conditional and subject to reversal by J.P. Morgan upon notice to Customer except to the extent that the funds are able to be repatriated or J.P. Morgan is able to repatriate the funds from J.P. Morgan’s Subcustodian in the Palestinian Territories via a capital remittance transaction (upon Instruction received from Customer). In this regard, Customer will be entitled to no more than Customer’s pro rata share of any recoveries that J.P. Morgan is able to obtain, as reasonably determined by J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan’s Palestinian Subcustodian, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited, Palestinian Autonomous Area, advises that the Palestinian Territories are subject to social and political unrest. There is no well defined legal system in place, no satisfactory mechanism for resolving any disputes and an embryonic oversight control of the Palestinian institutions. In the event of bankruptcy of the Palestine Exchange who owns and operates the Central Depository and Settlement Department, there is no system of insurance in place and no mandate at the Palestine Monetary Authority to rescue a failing bank. Clients should therefore be aware that, due to the political uncertainties and ongoing development, issues may arise in the Palestinian Territories in connection with any of the services which the Palestinian Subcustodian is providing under our subcustodian agreement with them. As a result, J.P. Morgan wishes to highlight that there could be disruption in services, and that these disruptions or limitations in service would be considered as force majeure.
Russia (for Russian Equities only)	Customer should refer to the current version of the applicable J.P. Morgan’s Russia briefing memo regarding the registrar company system of recording ownership of equity Securities issued by a Russian issuer (“Russian Equities”). Registrar companies licensed in Russia to provide share registration services to an issuer of Russian Equities (“Russian Registrar Company”) are not Securities Depositories or Subcustodians or otherwise agents of J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan provides custody services with respect to Russian Equities only when held through a Russian securities depository in which the Russian Subcustodian participates or when the Russian Subcustodian has a contract with the applicable Russian Registrar Company. Customer should refer to the current version of the applicable Russia briefing memo for information concerning these contracts and steps J.P. Morgan currently takes to monitor the performance of Russian Registrar Companies. J.P. Morgan’s responsibility with respect to the safekeeping of Russian Equities shall be limited to maintaining electronic records of Russian Equities holdings owned by Customer based on either (i) fax or scanned copies of share re-registration notifications issued by a Russian Registrar Company in respect of the Russian Equities (“Russian Share Notifications”), as provided to J.P. Morgan by either the custodian of the Customer’s counterparty in the case of a purchase transaction or by the Russian Registrar Company in the case of a sales transaction, or (ii) electronic copies of notifications issued by a Russian Securities Depository (“Russian Depository Notifications”). J.P. Morgan shall not

Market	Restrictions
	be responsible for ensuring the validity or genuineness of the notifications (originals or copies) it receives. Due to unclear standards in the Russian market with respect to the completion and submission of corporate action elections, J.P. Morgan will be subject to a “reasonable efforts” standard of care with respect to any Corporate Action related to Russian Equities. For clients settling through Russian Registrar Companies, proxy services are available where a signed agreement is in place between the Russian Subcustodian and the applicable Russian Registrar Company.
Tanzania	Local currency will be held in one or more separate cash accounts that J.P. Morgan opens for the benefit of its customers with J.P. Morgan’s Tanzanian Subcustodian. Due to the unclear standards in the Tanzanian market with respect to the completion and submission of corporate action elections, J.P. Morgan will be subject to a “reasonable efforts” standard of care with respect to any Corporate Action related to Securities safekept in Tanzania (“Tanzanian Securities”). If J.P. Morgan’s Tanzanian Subcustodian exits the market or becomes an unacceptable provider of subcustody services, J.P. Morgan may cease to provide custody services with respect to Tanzanian Securities. Although J.P. Morgan will work with customers to mitigate the impact of any decision to exit the market, it may not be practicable to give significant advance notice of the exit.
Ukraine (for Ukrainian Equities only)	Customer should refer to the current version of the applicable J.P. Morgan’s Ukraine briefing memo regarding the account structure and corporate action nuances of the Ukrainian market. For client opening accounts in Ukraine and unincorporated client types in particular, due to unclear standards in the Ukrainian market with respect to the completion and submission of corporate action elections, J.P. Morgan will be subject to a “reasonable efforts” standard of care with respect to any Corporate Action related to equity Securities safekept in Ukraine.
West African Economic and Monetary Union (“WAEMU”)	Local currency will be held in one or more separate cash accounts that J.P. Morgan opens for the benefit of its customers with J.P. Morgan’s WAEMU Subcustodian. If J.P. Morgan’s WAEMU Subcustodian exits the market or becomes an unacceptable provider of subcustody services, or if market conditions otherwise deteriorate within one or more of the member states of WAEMU, J.P. Morgan may cease to provide custody services with respect to Securities issued in member states of WAEMU that are settled and safekept at Dépositaire Central/Banque de Règlement S.A.. Although J.P. Morgan will work with customers to mitigate the impact of any decision to exit the market, it may not be practicable to give significant advance notice of the exit.
Zimbabwe	Until further notice from J.P. Morgan, any credit of U.S. Dollars to the Customer’s Cash Account with J.P. Morgan applied at Customer’s direction to the purchase or sale of Zimbabwe Securities will be conditional and subject to reversal by J.P. Morgan upon notice to Customer except to the extent that the funds are able to be repatriated or J.P. Morgan is able to repatriate the funds from J.P. Morgan’s Zimbabwean Subcustodian via a capital remittance transaction (upon Instruction received from Customer). In this regard, Customer will be entitled to no more than Customer’s pro rata share of any recoveries that J.P. Morgan is able to obtain, as reasonably determined by J.P. Morgan. If J.P. Morgan’s Zimbabwean Subcustodian exits the market or becomes an unacceptable provider of subcustody services, or if market conditions otherwise deteriorate, J.P.

	Morgan may cease to provide custody services with respect to Securities that are safekept in Zimbabwe. Although J.P. Morgan will work with customers to mitigate the impact of any decision to exit the market, it may not be practicable to give significant advance notice of the exit.

U.K. Client Money Terms

Funds held in cash accounts that J.P. Morgan opens with a Subcustodian for the benefit of its customers will be subject to the protections of the U.K. FSA Client Money Rules and such cash accounts treated as Designated Client Money Accounts for purposes of those rules. In this regard, J.P. Morgan shall not place any of its proprietary funds in any of these cash accounts. However, Customer’s funds in these cash accounts may be commingled (though distinguishable via books and records kept at J.P. Morgan) with funds belonging to other J.P. Morgan clients. These cash accounts are not an obligation of J.P. Morgan. In cases where the market is located outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), these cash accounts may be subject to the laws of the market in which the Subcustodian operates such cash accounts. As a result, the Customer’s rights relating to such deposits may differ from its rights in deposits held at banks in the EEA. In the event that the Subcustodian pays interest on any of these cash accounts, the Customer shall be entitled to its proportionate share of that interest.
