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 shall be held in that manner and shall not be part of the Cash Account. Bank shall notify Customer prior to the establishment of such an account. (b) At the request of Customer, additional Accounts may be opened in the future, which shall 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 shall be deposited during the period it is credited to the Account in one or more deposit accounts at Bank or at Bank's London Branch. Any cash so deposited with Bank's London Branch shall be payable exclusively by Bank's London Branch in the applicable currency, subject to compliance with any 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 shall identify in its records that Financial Assets credited to Customer's Securities Account belong to Customer on behalf of the relevant Fund (except as otherwise may be agreed by Bank and Customer). (b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law or market practice, Bank shall require each Subcustodian to identify in its own records that Financial Assets credited to Customer's Securities Account 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, to hold in bearer form, such Financial 4 Assets as are customarily held in bearer form or are delivered to Bank or its Subcustodian in bearer form; and to register in the name of the Customer, Bank, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository, or their respective nominees, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in registered form. Customer authorizes Bank or its Subcustodian to hold Financial Assets in omnibus accounts and shall accept delivery of Financial Assets of the same class and denomination as those deposited with Bank or its Subcustodian. 2.4 Settlement of Trades. --- --------------------- When Bank receives an Instruction directing settlement of a trade in Financial Assets that includes all information required by Bank, Bank shall use reasonable care to effect such settlement as instructed. Settlement of purchases and sales of Financial Assets shall be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. The risk of loss shall 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 to deliver the expected consideration as agreed, Bank shall contact the counterparty to seek settlement and, if the settlement is not received, notify Customer, but Bank shall not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action. 2.5 Contractual Settlement Date Accounting. --- --------------------------------------- (a) Bank shall 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 day accounting and shall notify Customer of these markets from time to time. (i) Sales: On the settlement date for a sale, Bank shall credit the Cash Account with the sale proceeds of the sale and transfer the relevant Financial Assets to an account pending settlement of the trade if 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 shall debit the Cash Account with the settlement monies and credit a separate account. Bank then shall post the Securities Account as awaiting receipt of the expected Financial Assets. Customer shall not be entitled to the delivery of 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 day settlement accounting for credit reasons. Bank, whenever reasonably possible, will notify Customer prior to imposing such restrictions. 5 (b) Bank may (in its discretion) upon at least 48 hours prior 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 shall 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. 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 shall 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 shall 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 shall be credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation. Bank may reverse such credits upon at least 48 hours prior oral or written notification to Customer when Bank believes that the corresponding payment shall not be received by Bank within a reasonable period or such credit was incorrect. (b) Bank shall make reasonable endeavors in its discretion to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds, but neither Bank nor its Subcustodians shall be obliged to file any formal notice of default, institute legal proceedings, file proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action. 2.8 Fractions/ Redemptions by Lot. --- ------------------------------ Bank may sell fractional interests in Financial Assets and credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale. 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. 2.9 Presentation of Coupons; Certain Other Ministerial Acts. --- -------------------------------------------------------- Until Bank receives Instructions to the contrary, Bank shall: (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 6 presentation; (b) execute in the name of Customer such certificates as may be required to obtain payment in respect of Financial Assets; and (c) exchange interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title. 2.10 Corporate Actions. ---- ------------------ (a) Bank shall follow Corporate Actions and advise Customer of those Corporate Actions of which Bank's central corporate actions department receives notice from the issuer or from the Securities Depository in which such Financial Assets are maintained or notice published in publications and reported in reporting services routinely used by Bank for this purpose. (b) If an Authorized Person fails to provide Bank with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action, neither Bank nor its Subcustodians or their respective nominees shall take any action in relation to that Corporate 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 advice it provides under Section 2.10 (a) with respect to that Corporate Action. 2.11 Proxy Voting. ---- ------------- (a) Subject to and upon the terms of this sub-section, Bank shall provide Customer with information which it receives on matters to be voted upon at meetings of holders of Financial Assets ("Notifications"), and Bank shall act in accordance with Customer's Instructions in relation to such Notifications ("the active proxy voting service"). (b) The following provisions relate to proxy voting services with respect to Global Assets: (i) If information is received by Bank at its proxy voting department too late to permit timely voting by Customer, Bank's only obligation shall be to provide to Customer, so far as reasonably practicable, a Notification (or summary information concerning a Notification) on an "information only" basis. (ii) 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. (iii)Bank reserves the right to provide Notifications or parts thereof in the language received. Bank shall attempt in good faith to provide accurate and complete 7 Notifications, whether or not translated. (iv) 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 shall not make any use of such information except in connection with the active proxy voting service. (v) 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 shall not provide Notifications to Customer but shall 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"). (c) Bank shall 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 shall not be obligated to vote on the matter, but shall notify Customer accordingly. (d) 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, or (iii) Financial Assets being held at Customer's request in a name not subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian, in a margin or collateral account at Bank or another bank or broker, or otherwise in a manner which affects voting, local market regulations or practices, or restrictions by the issuer. Additionally, in some cases Bank may be required to vote all shares held for a particular issue for all of Bank's customers in the same way. Where this is the case Bank, in the Notification, shall inform Customer. (e) Notwithstanding the fact that Bank may act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to Customer under other agreements or otherwise hereunder, in performing active or passive voting proxy services Bank shall be acting solely as the agent of Customer, and shall 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. ---- --------------------------------------------- (a) Bank will send, or make available on-line, to Customer, at times mutually agreed, a 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. Bank also will provide to Customer, upon request, the capability to reformat the information contained in each statement of account. In addition, Bank will send, or make available on-line, to Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of cash or 8 Financial Assets with respect to each Account. Bank will not be liable with respect to any matter set forth in those portions of any such statement of account or advice (or reasonably implied therefrom) to which Customer has not given Bank a written exception or objection within sixty (60) days of receipt of such statement, provided such matter is not the result of Bank's willful misconduct or bad faith. (b) Prices and other information obtained from third parties which may be contained in any 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 understands that records and reports, other than statements of account, that are available to it on-line on a real-time basis 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 that are accessed on-line on a real-time basis. 2.13 Access to Bank's Records. ---- ------------------------- (a) Bank shall allow Customer and Customer's independent public accountants such reasonable access to the records of Bank relating to Financial Assets as is required in connection with their examination of books and records pertaining to Customer's affairs.

(b) Upon reasonable request of Customer, Bank shall provide Customer with a copy of Bank's report prepared in compliance with the requirements of Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as it may be amended from time to time. 2.14 Maintenance of Financial Assets at Bank and at Subcustodian Locations. ---- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) Unless Instructions require another location acceptable to Bank, Global Assets shall be held in the country or jurisdiction in which their principal trading market is located, where such Global Assets may be presented for payment, where such Financial Assets were acquired, or where such Financial Assets are held.

(b) Bank shall not be obliged to follow an Instruction to hold Financial Assets with, or have them registered or recorded in the name of, any person not chosen by Bank. 9 However, if Customer does instruct Bank to hold Securities with or register or record Securities in the name of a person not chosen by Bank, the consequences of doing so are at Customer's own risk and Bank shall not be liable therefor. 2.15 Tax Reclaims. ---- ------------- Bank shall provide tax reclamation services as provided in Section 8.2. 2.16 Foreign Exchange Transactions. ----------------------------------- To facilitate the administration of Customer's trading and investment activity, Bank may, but shall not be obliged to, enter into spot or forward foreign exchange contracts with Customer, or an Authorized Person, and may also provide foreign exchange contracts and facilities through its Affiliates or Subcustodians.

In all cases where Bank, its Affiliates or Subcustodians enter into a master foreign exchange contract that covers foreign exchange transactions for the Accounts, the terms and conditions of that foreign exchange contract and, to the extent not inconsistent, this Agreement, shall apply to such transactions. 3. INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 Acting on Instructions; Unclear Instructions. --- --------------------------------------------- (a) Bank is authorized to act under this Agreement (or to refrain from taking action) in accordance with the instructions received by Bank, via telephone, telex, facsimile transmission, or other teleprocess or electronic instruction or trade information system acceptable to Bank ("Instructions").

Bank shall 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. Customer assumes full responsibility for any inconsistency within an Instruction between the name and identifying number of any party in payment orders issued to Bank in Customer's name. 3.2 Confirmation of Oral Instructions/ Security Devices. --- ---------------------------------------------------- Any Instructions delivered to Bank by telephone shall promptly thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Person.

Bank shall promptly notify Customer of such an advance. No prior action or course of dealing on Bank's part with respect to the settlement of transactions on Customer's behalf shall 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 of a particular Fund as shall have a fair market value equal to the aggregate amount of all overdrafts of such Fund, together with accrued interest, as security for any and all amounts which are now or become owing to Bank with respect to that Fund under any provision of this Agreement, whether or not matured or contingent ("Indebtedness").

(b) Bank shall be further entitled to set any such Indebtedness off against any cash or deposit account of a Fund with Bank or any of its Affiliates of which the Fund is the beneficial owner, regardless of the currency involved.

In addition, Bank and each Subcustodian may deposit Global Assets with, and hold Global 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 shall provide Bank with such documentation or acknowledgements that Bank may require to hold the Global Assets in such systems. (b) Any agreement Bank enters into with a Subcustodian for holding Bank's customers' assets shall provide that: (i) such assets shall 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 of 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 laws; (ii) beneficial ownership of such assets shall be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration; (iii) adequate records will be maintained identifying the assets as belonging to Customer or as being held by a third party for the benefit of Customer; (iv) Customer and Customer's independent public accountants will be given reasonable access to those records or confirmation of the contents of those records; and (v) Customer will receive periodic reports with respect to the safekeeping of Customer's assets, including, but not limited to, notification of any transfer to or from Customer's account or a third party account containing assets held for the benefit of Customer. Where a Subcustodian deposits Securities with a Securities Depository, Bank shall 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. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by Customer with any particular Subcustodian. (c) Bank shall have no responsibility for any act or omission by (or the insolvency of) any Securities Depository. In the event Customer incurs a loss due to the negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, Bank shall make reasonable endeavors to seek recovery from the Securities Depository. 5.2 Liability for Subcustodians. --- ---------------------------- (a) Subject to Section 7.1(b), Bank shall be liable for direct losses incurred by Customer that result from: (i) the failure by the Subcustodian to use reasonable care in the provision of custodial services by it in accordance with the standards prevailing in the relevant market or from the fraud or willful default of such Subcustodian in the provision of custodial services by it; or 13 (ii) the insolvency of any Affiliated Subcustodian. (b) Subject to Section 7.1(b) and Bank's duty to use reasonable care, prudence and diligence in the monitoring of a Subcustodian's financial condition as reflected in its published financial statements and other publicly available financial information concerning it, Bank shall 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 shall give Customer prompt notice of any such action, which shall be advance notice if practicable. Upon request by Customer, Bank shall 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. These third parties may be Affiliates. Except to the extent provided in Section 5.2 with respect to Subcustodians, Bank shall 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, such as pricing, proxy voting, and corporate action services, that it does not customarily provide itself. Nevertheless, Bank shall be liable for the performance of any such service provider selected by Bank that is an Affiliate to the same extent as Bank would have been liable if it performed such services itself. (b) Bank shall execute transactions involving Financial Assets of United States origin through a broker which is an Affiliate (i) in the case of the sale under Section 2.8 of a fractional interest or (ii) if an Authorized Person directs Bank to use the affiliated broker or otherwise requests that Bank select a broker for that transaction, unless, in either case, the Affiliate does not execute similar transactions in such Financial Assets. The affiliated broker may charge its customary commission (or retain its customary spread) with respect to either such transaction. 6.

The foregoing shall not affect any rights Bank might have against Customer's principal. 6.4 Several Obligations of the Funds. --- --------------------------------- This Agreement is executed on behalf of the Board of Trustees of each Fund as Trustees and not individually and the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Funds. With respect to the obligations of each Fund arising hereunder, Bank shall look for payment or satisfaction of any such obligation solely to the assets of the Fund to which such obligation relates as though Bank had separately contracted by separate written instrument with respect to each Fund. 7.

(c) Customer shall indemnify the Bank Indemnitees against, and hold them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Bank Indemnitees in connection with or arising out of Bank's performance under this Agreement, provided the Bank Indemnitees have not acted with negligence or bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the Liabilities in question.

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 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. 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.

Customer shall 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. (c) Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the Financial Assets in the Securities Account, and Customer shall pay, indemnify and hold Bank 17 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 (1) to pay, withhold or report any U.S. federal, state or local taxes or foreign taxes imposed on, or (2) to report interest, dividend or other income paid or credited to the Cash Account, whether such failure or delay by Bank to pay, withhold or report tax or income is the result of (x) Customer's failure to comply with the terms of this paragraph, or (y) Bank's own acts or omissions; provided however, Customer shall not be liable to Bank for any penalty or additions to tax due as a result of Bank's failure to pay or withhold tax or to report interest, dividend or other income paid or credited to the Cash Account solely as a result of Bank's negligent acts or omissions. 8.2 Tax Reclaims. --- ------------- (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section, Bank shall 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. (b) The provision of a tax reclamation service by Bank is conditional upon Bank receiving from Customer (i) a declaration of its identity and place of residence and (ii) certain other documentation (pro forma copies of which are available from Bank). If Financial Assets credited to the Account are beneficially owned by someone other than Customer, this information shall be necessary with respect to the beneficial owner. Customer acknowledges that Bank shall be unable to perform tax reclamation services unless it receives this information. (c) Bank shall perform tax reclamation 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 reclamation services are offered. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 8.2 Bank shall 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 body in relation to the processing of any tax reclaim. 9. TERMINATION Either party may terminate this Agreement on sixty days' notice in writing to the other party. 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 gives notice of termination, then Customer must, within sixty days following receipt of the notice, notify Bank of details of its new custodian, failing which Bank may elect (at any time after sixty days following Customer's receipt of the notice) either to retain the Financial Assets and cash until such details are given, continuing to charge fees due (in which case Bank's sole obligation shall be for the safekeeping of the Financial Assets and cash), or deliver the Financial Assets and cash to Customer. Bank shall in any event be entitled to deduct any uncontested amounts owing to it prior to delivery of the Financial Assets and cash (and, accordingly, Bank shall be 18 entitled to deduct cash from the Cash Account in satisfaction of uncontested amounts owing to it). Customer shall reimburse Bank promptly for all out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in delivering Financial Assets upon termination by Customer. Termination shall not affect any of the liabilities either party owes to the other arising under this Agreement prior to such termination. 10.

(a) Customer's board of directors (or equivalent body) (hereinafter `Board') hereby delegates to Bank, and, except as to the country or countries as to which Bank may, from time to time, advise Customer that it does not accept such delegation, Bank hereby accepts the delegation to it, of the obligation to perform as Customer's `Foreign Custody Manager' (as that term is defined in rule 17f-5(a)(3) as promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act")), including for the purposes of: (i) selecting Eligible Foreign Custodians (as that term is defined in SEC rule 17f-5(a)(1), and as the same may be amended from time to time, or that have otherwise been exempted pursuant to an SEC exemptive order) to hold foreign Financial Assets and cash, (ii) evaluating the contractual arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians (as set forth in SEC rule 17f-5(c)(2)), (iii) monitoring such foreign custody arrangements (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(3)).

(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 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. (c) 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.

(f) 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, provided that Bank transmits the information using reasonable care.

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 Financial Assets held. Bank shall monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer's Financial Assets at each such Eligible Securities Depository on a continuing basis and shall promptly notify Customer or its investment adviser of any material changes in such risks.

Neither Bank nor its agent shall be under any duty to provide Customer or its agent with information which it or they receive on matters to be voted upon at meetings of holders of Financial Assets. (b) Bank or its agent shall act upon Instructions to vote, provided Instructions are received by Bank or its agent at its proxy voting department by the relevant deadline for such Instructions as determined by Bank or its agent. If Instructions are not received in a timely manner, neither Bank nor its agent shall be obligated to provide further notice to Customer. (c) In markets where the proxy voting service is not available or where Bank has not received a duly completed enrollment form or other relevant documentation, Bank or its agent shall 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 agent (or its Subcustodians or nominees as the case may be) to do so and where such Instructions are received in time for Bank or its agent to take timely action. (d) Customer acknowledges that the provision of the proxy voting service 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, or (iii) Financial Assets being held at Customer's request in a name not subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian, in a margin or collateral account at Bank or another bank or broker, or otherwise in a manner which affects voting, local market regulations or practices, or restrictions by the issuer. Additionally, in some markets, Bank may be required to vote all shares held for a particular issue for all of Bank's customers in the same way. Bank or its agent shall inform Customer or its agent where this is the case. (e) Notwithstanding the fact that Bank may act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to Customer under other agreements or otherwise hereunder, in performing the proxy voting service Bank shall be acting solely as the agent of Customer, and shall not exercise any discretion with regard to such proxy voting service or vote any proxy except when directed by an Authorized Person." 2. Miscellaneous. (a) This Amendment shall be governed 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. 2 (b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns when executed by all parties. Nothing in this Amendment, express or implied, shall be construed to confer any rights or remedies upon any party other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. (c) All defined terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as provided in the Custody Agreement except where specifically herein modified. (d) As modified and amended hereby, the parties hereby ratify, approve and confirm the Custody Agreement in all respects. (e) This Amendment may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto. (f) This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 3. Effective Time. This Amendment shall be effective as of November 25, 2003. JPMORGAN CHASE BANK EACH TRUST LISTED IN EXHIBIT 1 OF THE CUSTODY AGREEMENT By: /S/ JAMES E. CECERE, JR. By: /S/ THOMAS J.
