If at any time Securities Intermediary holds any Purchased Security delivered to Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement or this Custodial Agreement and such Purchased Security is not credited to Buyers’ Account or Seller’s Account, then Securities Intermediary holds such Purchased Security as bailee of Buyer.

5.3Securities Intermediary shall settle any Transaction under the Repurchase Agreement by delivery versus payment.

Securities Intermediary shall provide a Confirmation to Buyer and Seller by facsimile promptly upon settlement. The original of such Confirmation shall be delivered to Buyer by facsimile to be followed by first class US mail, with a copy to Seller. Such Confirmation is Securities Intermediary’s representation that such Purchased Securities have been credited to Buyers’ Account.

7.3In connection with any Buyer’s engaging in a repurchase transaction with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets as permitted under the Repurchase Agreement, such Buyer may sell or pledge its interest in the Purchased Assets held by Custodian for the benefit of such Buyer from time to time; provided, that such use of the Purchased Assets shall be subject to the applicable Buyer’s obligations described under the Repurchase Agreement, including without limitation, the obligation to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement and to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Agreement.
