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

 

  (b) Bank and Subcustodian are authorized to register in the name of Subcustodian such Financial Assets as are customarily held in registered form. Customer authorizes Bank or its Subcustodian to hold Financial Assets in omnibus accounts on a fungible basis and to accept delivery of Financial Assets of the same class and denomination as those deposited with Bank or its Subcustodian.

  2.5 Proxy Voting with respect to Global Securities.

 

  (a) Bank will monitor information distributed to holders of Financial Assets about upcoming shareholder meetings, promptly notify the Customer of such information and, subject to Section 2.5(c) hereof, act in accordance with Customer’s Instructions in relation to such meetings (the “Proxy Voting Service”).

 

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

 

  (c) The Proxy Voting Service does not include physical attendance at shareholder meetings. Requests for physical attendance at shareholder meetings can be made but they will be evaluated and agreed to by Bank on a case by case basis.

 

  (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;


J.P. Morgan

  2.6 Access to Bank’s and Subcustodian’s Records: Reports.

Subject to restrictions under Applicable Law, Bank will obtain an undertaking to permit Customer’s auditors and independent public accountants reasonable access to the records of any Subcustodian of Financial Assets held in the Securities Account as may be required in connection with such examination. Pursuant to the requirements of rule 17f·4(a)(2) under the 1940 Act, Bank shall provide promptly upon Customer’s request such reports as are available concerning the internal accounting controls and financial strength of Bank, including, but not limited to, the annual report (SAS 70 Report) prepared by Bank’s external auditors on Bank’s system of internal accounting control of Financial Assets.

  2.7 Maintenance of Financial Assets at Subcustodian Locations.

Unless Instructions (as detailed in Article 3 entitled “Instructions” of the DCA) require another location acceptable to Bank, Financial Assets will be held in the country or jurisdiction in which their principal trading market is located, where such Financial Assets may be presented for payment, where such Financial Assets were acquired or where such Financial Assets are held. Bank reserves the right to refuse to accept delivery of Financial Assets or cash in countries and jurisdictions other than those referred to in Schedule 1 to this Rider, as in effect from time to time.

 

  2.8 Tax Relief Services.

Bank will provide for Global Securities, as set forth in Section 8.2 of the DCA, the same tax relief services that Bank provides for American Depository Receipts.

 

  2.9 Foreign Exchange Transactions.

To facilitate the administration of Customer’s trading and investment activity, Bank may, but will 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. Instructions, including standing Instructions, may be issued with respect to such contracts, but Bank may establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange facility made available. 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 Rider will apply to such transactions.


J.P. Morgan

 

  2.10 Compliance with SEC rule 17f-5 (“rule 17f-5”).

 

  (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 1940 Act), including for the purposes of: (i) selecting Eligible Foreign Custodians (as that term is defined in 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 rule 17f-5(c)(2) and (iii) monitoring such foreign custody arrangements (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(3)).

 

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

 

  (i) provide written reports notifying Customer’s Board of the placement of Financial Assets and cash with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and of any material change in the arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians, with such reports to be provided to Customer’s Board at such times as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate based on the circumstances of Customer’s foreign custody arrangements (and, until further notice from Customer, such reports shall be provided not less than quarterly with respect to the placement of Financial Assets and cash with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and with reasonable promptness upon the occurrence of any material change in the arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians);

 

  (ii) exercise such reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing as Customer’s Foreign Custody Manager as a person having responsibility for the safekeeping of foreign Financial Assets and cash would exercise;

 

  (iii) in selecting an Eligible Foreign Custodian, first have determined that foreign Financial Assets and cash placed and maintained in the safekeeping of such Eligible Foreign Custodian shall be subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians in the relevant market, after having considered all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such foreign Financial Assets and cash, including, without limitation, those factors set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(1)(i)-(iv);

 

  (iv) determine that the written contract it enters with each Eligible Foreign Custodian complies with rule 17f-5(c)(2) by requiring that the Eligible Foreign Custodian shall provide reasonable care for foreign Financial Assets and cash based on the standards applicable to custodians in the relevant market; and


J.P. Morgan

 

  (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.

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.

 

  (c) Except as expressly provided herein, Customer shall be solely responsible to assure that the maintenance of foreign Financial Assets and cash hereunder complies with the rules, regulations, interpretations and exemptive orders as promulgated by or under the authority of the SEC.

 

  (d) Bank represents to Customer that it is a U.S. Bank as defined in Rule 17f-5(a)(7). Customer represents to Bank that: (1) the foreign Financial Assets and cash being placed and maintained in Bank’s custody are subject to the 1940 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time; (2) (i) its Board has determined that it is reasonable to rely on Bank to perform as Customer’s Foreign Custody Manager or (ii) its Board or its investment adviser shall have determined that Customer may maintain foreign Financial Assets and cash in each country in which Customer’s Financial Assets and cash shall be held hereunder and determined to accept Country Risk. Nothing contained herein shall require Bank to make any selection or to engage in any monitoring on behalf of Customer that would entail consideration of Country Risk.

 

  (e) Bank shall provide to Customer such information relating to Country Risk as is specified in Appendix 1-A 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.

 

  2.11 Compliance with SEC rule 17f-7 (“rule 17f-7”).

 

  (a)

Bank shall, for consideration by Customer, provide an analysis of the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer’s foreign Financial Assets and cash with each Eligible Securities Depository used by Bank as


J.P. Morgan

 

 

of the date hereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Securities Depository not used by Bank as of the date hereof, prior to the initial placement of Customer’s foreign Financial Assets and cash at such Depository) and at which any foreign Financial Assets and cash of Customer are held or are expected to be held. The foregoing analysis will be provided to Customer at Bank’s Website. In connection with the foregoing, Customer shall notify Bank of any Eligible Securities Depositories at which it does not choose to have its foreign Financial Assets and cash held. Bank shall monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer’s foreign Financial Assets and cash at each such Eligible Securities Depository on a continuing basis and shall promptly notify Customer or its adviser of any material changes in such risks.

 

  (b) Bank shall exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing the requirements set forth in Section 2.11 (a) above.

 

  (c) Based on the information available to it in the exercise of diligence, Bank shall determine the eligibility under rule 17f-7 of each depository before including it on Appendix 1-B hereto and shall promptly advise Customer if any Eligible Securities Depository ceases to be eligible. (Eligible Securities Depositories used by Bank as of the date hereof are set forth in Appendix 1-B hereto, and as the same may be amended on notice to Customer from time to time.)

 

3. INSTRUCTIONS

Bank will act upon all Instructions received from Customer with respect to the Financial Assets and cash held for the Accounts in accordance with Article 3 of the DCA and this Rider.

 

4. FEES, EXPENSES AND OTHER AMOUNTS OWING TO BANK

 

  4.1 Fees and Expenses.

Customer will pay Bank for its services under this Rider such fees as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time, together with Bank’s reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses. Invoices will be payable within ninety (90) days of the date of the invoice. If the Customer disputes an invoice, it shall nevertheless pay on or before the date that payment is due such portion of the invoice as is not subject to a bona fide dispute. The Bank may deduct amounts invoiced from the Cash Account except to the extent that the Customer has objected to the invoice within ninety (90) days of the date of the invoice (or such other period as the parties may agree in writing).

 

  4.2 Overdrafts.

If a debit to any currency in the Cash Account results in a debit balance in that currency, then Bank may, in its discretion, (i) advance an amount equal to the overdraft, (ii) reject the settlement in whole or in any part, or (iii) if posted to the Securities Account, reverse the posting of the Financial Assets credited to the Securities Account. If Bank elects to make such an advance, the advance will be deemed a loan to Customer, payable on demand, bearing interest at the rate charged by Bank from time to time, for overdrafts incurred by customers similar to Customer, from the date of such advance to the date of payment (both after


J.P. Morgan

 

as well as before judgment) and otherwise on the terms on which Bank makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. No prior action or course of dealing on Bank’s part with respect to the settlement of transactions on Customer’s behalf will be asserted by Customer against Bank for Bank’s refusal to make advances to the Cash Account or to settle any transaction for which Customer does not have sufficient available funds in the Account.

 

5. SUBCUSTODIANS

 

  5.1 Appointment of Subcustodians.

 

  (a) Bank is authorized under this Rider to act through and hold Customer’s Financial Assets with subcustodians, being at the date of this Rider the entities listed in Schedule 1 and/or such other entities as Bank may appoint as subcustodians (“Subcustodians”). Bank will use reasonable care in the selection, monitoring and continued appointment of such Subcustodians. In addition, Bank and each Subcustodian may deposit Securities with, and hold Securities in any Securities Depository on such terms as such securities Depository customarily operates and Customer will provide Bank with such documentation or acknowledgements that Bank may require to hold the Financial Assets in such Securities Depository. At the request of Customer, Bank may, but need not, add to Appendix 1-B an Eligible Foreign Custodian where Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to the selection thereof. Bank shall notify Customer in the event that it elects to add any such entity.

 

  (b) Any agreement Bank enters into with a Subcustodian for holding Bank’s customers’ assets will provide that such assets will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of such Subcustodian or its creditors except a claim for payment for their safe custody or administration, and, in the case of cash deposits, except for liens or rights in favor of creditors of Subcustodian arising under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law, that the beneficial ownership thereof will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration. Bank shall be responsible for all claims for payment of fees for safe custody or administration so that no Subcustodian exercises any claim for such payment against Customer’s assets. Where a Subcustodian deposits Securities with a Securities Depository, Bank will cause the Subcustodian to identify on its records as belonging to Bank, as agent, the Securities shown on the Subcustodian’s account at such Securities Depository. The foregoing will not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by Customer with any particular Subcustodian.

 

  5.2 Liability for Subcustodians.

 

  (a) Subject to the limitations of liability of Bank set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 7.1 of the DCA, Bank will be liable only for direct losses incurred by Customer that result from:

 

  (i) the failure by a 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


J.P. Morgan

 

  (ii) the insolvency of any Affiliated Subcustodian.

 

  (b) Subject to paragraph (a) of Section 5.1 of this Rider and Bank’s duty to use reasonable care in the monitoring of a Subcustodian’s financial condition as reflected in its published financial statements and other publicly available financial information concerning it customarily reviewed by Bank in its oversight process, Bank will not be responsible for the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or an Affiliated Subcustodian.

 

  (c) Bank reserves the right to add, replace or remove Subcustodians. Bank will give prompt notice of any such action, which will be advance notice if practicable. Upon request by Customer, Bank will identify the name, address and principal place of business of any Subcustodian and the name and address of the governmental agency or other regulatory authority that supervises or regulates such Subcustodian.

 

  5.3 Liability for Securities Depositories

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

 

6. WHEN BANK IS LIABLE TO CUSTOMER

Bank shall be entitled to all the protective provisions of Article 7 of the DCA in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Rider. Subcustodians shall be entitled to indemnification under paragraph (c) of Section 7.1 of the DCA as Bank Indemnitees. Nevertheless, Customer shall not be obligated to indemnify any Subcustodian under Section 7.1 (c) of the DCA as Bank’s agent with respect to any Liability for which Bank is liable under Section 5.2 of this Rider. For purposes of clarity, it is agreed that as used in paragraph (a) of Section 5.2 of this Rider, the term Subcustodian shall not include any Eligible Foreign Custodian as to which Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager.

 

7. ADDITIONAL TAX OBLIGATIONS

Customer will provide to Bank such certifications, documentation and information as it may require in connection with taxation, and warrants that, when given, this information is true and correct in all material respects, not misleading and contains all material information. Customer undertakes to notify Bank promptly if any material information requires updating or correcting.


J.P. Morgan

 

8. MISCELLANEOUS

 

  8.1 Information Concerning Deposits at Bank’s London Branch.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the “FSCS”) was created under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The terms of the FSCS offer protection in connection with deposits and investments in the event of the person to whom Bank’s London Branch provides services suffering a financial loss as a direct consequence of Bank’s London Branch being unable to meet any of its liabilities, and subject to the FSCS rules regarding eligible claimants and eligible claims, the Customer may have a right to claim compensation from the FSCS. Subject to the terms of the FSCS, the limit on the maximum compensation sum payable by the FSCS in relation to investment business is £48,000 and in relation to deposits is £31,700. A detailed description of the FSCS (including information on how to make a claim, eligibility criteria and the procedures involved) is available from the FSCS who can be contacted at 7th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, Portsoken Street, London, E1 8BN.

 

  8.2 Severability and Waiver.

 

  (a) If one or more provisions of this Rider 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 Rider 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 Rider, or waiver of any breach or default, is effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.

 

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

 

8.3 Sections Incorporated by Reference.

For the avoidance of doubt, the entire Article 10 of the DCA is incorporated by reference into this Rider. All references to “Agreement” therein shall be read to include this Rider.

 

8.4 Termination.

 

  (a) Customer may terminate this Rider on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Bank. Bank may terminate this Rider on one hundred and eighty (180) days’ written notice to Customer.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding Section 8.4(a):

 

  (i) Either party may terminate this Rider immediately on written notice to the other party in the event that a material breach of this Rider by the other party has not been cured within thirty (30) days of that party being given written notice of the material breach;


J.P. Morgan

 

  (ii) Either party may terminate this Rider immediately on written notice to the other party upon the other party being declared bankrupt, entering into a composition with creditors, obtaining a suspension of payment, being put under court controlled management or being the subject of a similar measure; and

 

  (iii) Bank may terminate this Rider on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Customer in the event that Bank reasonably determines that Customer has ceased to satisfy Bank’s customary credit requirements.

 

  (c) This Rider shall automatically terminate with the termination of the DCA. Article 9 of the DCA, to the extent applicable, shall apply to any such termination of this Rider.

 

8.5 Insurance

Customer acknowledges that Bank will not be required to maintain any insurance coverage specifically for the benefit of Customer, except that Bank will maintain insurance protection which covers Bank’s duties and responsibilities generally as a custodian of Financial Assets and Bank will maintain such coverage to the extent required by Bank’s banking regulators. Bank will provide details of its own general insurance coverage to Customer on request.

 

8.6 Confidentiality

The parties agree that Section 10.5 of the DCA shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence of such section: “Bank further agrees that it shall use the confidential information only for the purpose of providing services to Customer under the Agreement and shall under no circumstances use the financial information for the basis of trading.”
