2.	Provision of Collateral Services by Collateral Manager

2.1.	Appointment of Custodian

	(a)	Collateral Manager will establish and maintain the following accounts:

		(i)	one or more Securities Accounts in the name of the Pledgor for Securities (the “Securities Account”), which may be held by Collateral Manager or a Subcustodian or a Securities Depository for Collateral Manager on behalf of the Pledgor; and

		(ii)	one or more accounts in the name of the Pledgor (the “Cash Account” and, together with the Securities Account, the “Account”) for any and all cash in any currency received by or on behalf of Collateral Manager for the account of the Pledgor.

		Notwithstanding paragraph 2.1(a)(ii), cash held in respect of those markets where the Pledgor 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)	Any amount standing to the credit of the Cash Account is a debt due from Collateral Manager as banker. Except as otherwise provided in Instructions acceptable to Collateral Manager, all Cash held in the Cash Account will be deposited during the period it is credited to the Accounts in one or more deposit accounts at Collateral Manager. Any non-US Cash so deposited with Collateral Manager will be payable exclusively by Collateral Manager’s London Branch 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.

	(c)	Pledgor and Secured Party hereby notify Collateral Manager that by separate agreement, Pledgor has granted Secured Party a security interest in the Account and all financial assets and other items therein, and Collateral Manager acknowledges being so notified. It is understood and agreed that Collateral Manager has no responsibility with respect to the validity or perfection of the security interest other than to act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Pledgor and Secured Party hereby appoint Collateral Manager as custodian of all Collateral in the Account during the term of this Agreement. Collateral Manager hereby accepts appointment as such custodian and agrees to establish and maintain the Account and appropriate records identifying the Collateral as pledged by Pledgor to Secured Party. Pledgor, Secured Party and Collateral Manager agree that the Collateral will be held in the Account by Collateral Manager as agent of Secured Party and the parties further agree that Collateral Manager will take such action with respect to any Collateral as Secured Party may instruct (except as otherwise provided for herein).

	(d)	Secured Party hereby covenants, for the benefit of Pledgor, that Secured Party will not instruct Collateral Manager to deliver or cause to be

Page 4


		transferred any Collateral to any person other than Pledgor unless and until (i) Pledgor has defaulted in its obligations to Secured Party pursuant to the Master Agreement, or (ii) a termination event (as defined in the Master Agreement) has occurred. The foregoing covenant is for the benefit of Pledgor only and shall in no way be deemed to constitute a limitation on Secured Party’s right at any time to instruct Collateral Manager or on Collateral Manager’s ability to rely on such Instructions. If Collateral Manager receives Instructions from Secured Party prior to 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day directing Collateral Manager to transfer any Collateral, Collateral Manager shall so transfer such Collateral prior to the close of business on that Business Day and upon such transfer Collateral Manager’s duties hereunder with respect to such Collateral shall terminate.

	(e)	Pledgor and Secured Party hereby authorize Collateral Manager on a continuous and on-going basis to deposit all Collateral it receives in the Cash Account or Securities Account, as applicable. Where Collateral is transferred to an Account, Collateral Manager shall identify such Collateral on its books and records as belonging to Pledgor, and pledged to Secured Party and shall send Secured Party a confirmation in accordance with paragraph 2.9.

2.2.		Segregation of Assets; Nominee Name

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

	(b)	Collateral Manager is authorized, in its discretion,

		(i)	to hold in bearer form, such Securities as are customarily held in bearer form or are delivered to Collateral Manager 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 Collateral Manager or its Subcustodian; and

		(iv)	to register in the name of the Pledgor, Collateral Manager, a Subcustodian, a Securities Depository, or their respective nominees, such Securities as are customarily held in registered form.

2.3.		The NIB Account

	Collateral Manager, on behalf of Pledgor, hereby establishes, and Collateral Manager hereby agrees to maintain a non-interest bearing Cash account No. [●] (the “NIB Account”) in the name of Collateral Manager on behalf and for the benefit of Pledgor. The parties agree that the NIB Account shall not be subject to any security to be granted under the Master Agreement and accordingly shall not be deemed to be an Account for purposes of this Agreement. Collateral Manager will take such action with respect to any Cash in the NIB Account as the Pledgor may instruct. The parties agree and acknowledge that Cash Income Proceeds that comprise interest paid on Collateral

Page 5


	in the Cash Account will be transferred directly by Collateral Manager to the NIB Account and will not be credited to the Cash Account. Collateral Manager has no obligation to credit any Cash until such Cash is actually received by Collateral Manager. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Pledgor agrees that Collateral Manager shall be entitled to reverse any Cash credit previously made to the NIB Account due to error or the non-receipt of any income or dividend distribution. The parties agree and acknowledge that Cash Income Proceeds that comprise coupon payments with respect to Collateral in the Securities Account will be paid to an account designated by Pledgor in writing and not to the NIB Account or the Cash Account and will not be credited to the Account. For the avoidance of doubt, Cash redemptions of Securities Collateral or Cash payment of principal with respect to Securities Collateral will be paid to the Cash Account.

2.4.		Debit Balances

	If a debit to any currency in the Cash Account results (or will result) in a debit balance in such currency, then Collateral Manager may, in its discretion, (i) advance an amount equal to the overdraft, (ii) refuse to settle in whole or in part the transaction whose settlement would have caused such debit balance, or (iii) if any such transaction is posted to the Securities Account, reverse any such posting. If Collateral Manager elects to make such an advance, the advance will be deemed a loan to the Pledgor and the Secured Party, payable on demand, bearing interest at the applicable rate charged by Collateral Manager from time to time, for such overdrafts, from the date of such advance to the date of payment (both after as well as before judgment) and otherwise on the terms on which Collateral Manager makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. No prior action or course of dealing on Collateral Manager’s part with respect to the settlement of transactions on behalf of the Pledgor or Secured Party will be asserted by the Pledgor or Secured Party against Collateral Manager for Collateral Manager’s refusal to make advances to the Cash Account or to settle any transaction for which the Pledgor does not have sufficient available funds in the applicable currency in the Cash Account or NIB Account.

2.5.		Updated Procedures

	Collateral Manager may provide Pledgor and Secured Party, from time to time, with additional or changed procedures or instructions in connection with the matters described herein, upon written notice to Pledgor and Secured Party.

2.6.		Substitution of Collateral

	Secured Party hereby grants Pledgor authority to substitute other Collateral for any Collateral, which is held in the Securities Account, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement. Pledgor may exercise the right of substitution by notifying Secured Party of its intent to transfer certain Collateral out of the Securities Account upon the deposit into the Securities Account of new Collateral that has a value as of the date of transfer which is at least equal to the value of that portion of the old collateral for which it is being substituted. Secured Party shall then provide Instructions to Collateral Manager directing Collateral Manager, upon the receipt of new Collateral, to transfer the certain specified Collateral to Pledgor.

2.7.		Collateral not to be Subjected to Competing Security Interest

	Subject to paragraph 5.1, Collateral Manager shall not subject any Collateral in the Accounts to any security interest, lien or right of setoff in favor of any third party

Page 6


	claiming through Collateral Manager, and Collateral Manager shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party an interest in, any Collateral. Except as required by law or regulation, Collateral Manager shall not agree with any other person or entity that it will comply with any withdrawal, transfer, payment and redemption instructions, or any other entitlement or other orders, from such person or entity concerning the Accounts or any items therein, without the prior written consent of Secured Party and any such agreement entered into without such consent shall be null and void.

2.8.		Notice of Default or Termination Event

	(a)	In the event that Collateral Manager receives an Instruction from Secured Party substantially in the form of Schedule V certifying that (i) Pledgor has defaulted in its obligations to Secured Party pursuant to the Master Agreement or (ii) a termination event (as defined in the Master Agreement) has occurred in respect of Pledgor and is confirming, Collateral Manager may, without further inquiry, act upon Instructions from Secured Party with respect to the disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and to refuse any Instruction from Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement and Collateral Manager shall suspend Secured Party and Pledgor’s access to applications or products of Collateral Manager’s website as described in paragraph 3.6 as soon as practicable. If at any time after Collateral Manager has received such notice, Collateral Manager receives Instructions from Secured Party prior to 9:00 a.m. on a Business Day directing Collateral Manager to transfer any Collateral, Collateral Manager shall use reasonable endeavors to so transfer such Collateral prior to the close of business of that Business Day. Collateral Manager shall have no duties hereunder with respect to any Collateral transferred out of the Accounts or the NIB Account pursuant to such instructions or instructions otherwise authorized by this Agreement. Unless instructed differently, Collateral Manager is hereby authorized by the Secured Party to use the cash and security delivery instructions set forth on Schedule III, attached hereto when transferring Collateral to it.

	(b)	In the event that Collateral Manager receives an Instruction from Pledgor substantially in the form of Schedule VI certifying that (i) Secured Party has defaulted in its obligations to Pledgor pursuant to the Master Agreement or (ii) a termination event (as defined in the Master Agreement) has occurred in respect of Secured Party and is continuing, Collateral Manager may, without further inquiry and in reliance on Pledgor’s Instructions, transfer all Collateral in the Accounts to Pledgor upon the earlier of (i) receipt by the Collateral Manager of Secured Party’s Instructions to Collateral Manager consenting to the release of the Collateral, and (ii) the fourth (4^th) Business Day after the date of such Instruction from Pledgor. After receiving such notice, Collateral Manager shall suspend Secured Party and Pledgor’s access to applications or products of Collateral Manager’s website as described in paragraph 3.6 as soon as practicable. At any time prior to such release, Pledgor may revoke its Instruction, whereupon Collateral Manager shall not release any of the Collateral in the Accounts unless and until further Instructions are validly submitted by Pledgor, and only if such Instructions are in the form required under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, Collateral Manager shall have no obligation to verify that Secured Party has defaulted in its obligations to Pledgor pursuant to the Master Agreement or

Page 7


		that a termination event (as defined in the Master Agreement) in respect of Secured Party has occurred and is continuing. The Pledgor acknowledges that the Secured Party (which may be under the control of a bankruptcy or insolvency officeholder or person with an analogous or similar status or authority) shall retain control of the Collateral in the Accounts and shall continue to be entitled to such Collateral subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Master Agreement until such time as the Pledgor exercises its rights under the Master Agreement and delivers Instructions in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 2.8(b). Collateral Manager acknowledges that the Secured Party (which may be under the control of a bankruptcy or insolvency officeholder or person with an analogous or similar status or authority) shall retain control of the Collateral in the Accounts until such time as the Pledgor has delivered Instructions in accordance with this paragraph 2.8(b).

	(c)	_________ shall not be required to deliver or transfer cash, securities or other property or required to act in contravention of any order, stay, judgment, levy, restraining notice, seizure or other similar notice or restraint imposed by law or issued or directed by a governmental agency or court or officer thereof, asserting jurisdiction over Collateral Manager, any existing or future part company of Collateral Manager or any director, officer, employee or agent of the foregoing which on its face affects such cash, securities or other property. Collateral Manager shall give Pledgor and Secured Party prompt notice of any such notice or order of which it is aware. Collateral Manager shall not be liable for failure to deliver or act in such circumstances.

2.9.	Account Statements

	Collateral Manager will provide Pledgor and Secured Party with a statement identifying all Collateral in the Accounts at the frequency specified in the Operating Guidelines. Secured Party and Pledgor shall promptly review all such statements and shall promptly advise Collateral Manager of any error, omission or inaccuracy in each statement. Collateral Manager shall undertake to correct any errors, failures or omissions that are reported to Collateral Manager by Secured Party or Pledgor. Any such corrections shall be reflected on subsequent statements.

2.10.		Investment of Cash Collateral

	If instructed in writing by the Pledgor, Collateral Manager will, from time to time, (a) invest Cash Collateral in the Cash Account in such deposits, money market instruments and securities (the “Investments”) as may be selected from a list provided by Collateral Manager. Collateral Manager shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any Investments or as a result of any liquidation of any Investment prior to its maturity. Pledgor and Secured Party agree that Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any losses that may result from such investment in the Investments (including, but not limited to, possible loss of the principal amount invested or any loss sustained as a result of liquidation prior to maturity) and that Collateral Manager has no obligation to credit any cash proceeds from the sale of any Investment to the Accounts until such cash is actually received by Collateral Manager. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Pledgor and Secured Party agree that Collateral Manager shall be entitled to reverse any cash credit previously made to the Accounts due to error or the non-receipt of any income or dividend distribution.

2.12.		Collateral Services

	(a)	On the Business Day prior to [insert date of Effective Date], Pledgor shall provide Written Instructions to Collateral Manager and Secured Party reporting the [Obligation Amount] and Pledgor agrees, by close of business in New York on [insert date of Effective Date], to transfer or cause to be transferred to Collateral Manager, for deposit in the Accounts, [Eligible Collateral] whose aggregate Margin Value is an amount not less than the [Obligation Amount] so reported. Collateral Manager shall determine whether the Collateral to be transferred to the Securities Account constitutes [Eligible Collateral] and verify whether the aggregate Margin Value of the [Eligible Collateral] standing to the credit of the Accounts immediately after giving effect to such transfer is not less than the [[Obligation Amount] so reported.] “Eligible Collateral” mean Collateral meeting the Eligibility Criteria. “Eligibility Criteria” means such criteria as agreed upon by _________, Pledgor and Secured Party with respect to cash and securities and specified in the Operating Guidelines and shall include, among other things, the type and maturity of securities. “Operating Guidelines” mean the operating guidelines as separately agreed between _________, Pledgor and Secured Party, as amended from time to time by notice from _________ to Pledgor and Secured Party. The Operating Guidelines do not form part of this Agreement and are not intended to, and shall not, create any legal obligations of _________, Pledgor or Secured Party. _________, Pledgor and Secured Party, in entering into this Agreement, have not relied on any provision of the Operating Guidelines as a representation by another party.

	(b)	On each Business Day thereafter, Pledgor shall provide Written Instructions to Collateral Manager and Secured Party by [-] 00 a.m. (New York time) reporting the [Obligation Amount] on such Business Day and Pledgor agrees, by close of business in New York on the next Business Day, to transfer or cause to be transferred to Collateral Manager, for deposit in the Accounts, [Eligible Collateral] whose aggregate Margin Value (taking into account [Eligible Collateral] already credited to the Accounts) is an amount not less than the [Obligation Amount] so reported. On making any such transfer, Pledgor shall deliver a Written Instruction to Collateral Manager and Secured Party in respect of each type of Security concerned specifying by name and ISIN (or CUSIP), the type of Security being deposited and the number of such Securities together with the other information (if any) specified in the Collateral Schedule. Collateral Manager shall determine whether the Collateral to be transferred to the Securities Account constitutes [Eligible Collateral] and verify whether the aggregate Margin Value of the [Eligible Collateral] standing to the credit of the Account immediately after giving effect to such transfer is not less than the [Obligation Amount] so reported.

Page 9


	(c)	If Secured Party disputes the [Obligation Amount] determined by Pledgor it shall provide written notice thereof to Collateral Manager and Pledgor, and the [Obligation Amount] in effect as of the immediately preceding Business Day shall prevail for purposes of all calculations under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) such time as Pledgor and Secured Party independently and without any further action by Collateral Manager resolve such dispute and notify Collateral Manager jointly in writing of the new [Obligation Amount] and (ii) 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the date on which the notice of the dispute is given to Pledgor and Collateral Manager by Secured Party (whereupon, if no notice of resolution is delivered to Collateral Manager pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), Pledgor’s determination of the [Obligation Amount] on such following Business Day shall apply).

	(d)	On each Business Day, Collateral Manager shall as agent of the Secured Party provide written notice to Pledgor and Secured Party by [—]:00 a.m. (New York time) indicating the aggregate [Margin Value] of the [Eligible Collateral] in the Accounts at the close of business in New York City on the immediately preceding Business Day (which notice shall include the Margin Value for each item of [Eligible Collateral]). If on any Business Day the aggregate [Margin Value] of [Eligible Collateral] in the Accounts as reported by the Collateral Manager pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is less than the then current [Obligation Amount] as reported by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 1 above, Pledgor agrees to transfer to Collateral Manager for deposit in the Accounts prior to the close of business in New York on the immediately succeeding Business Day additional [Eligible Collateral] (“Additional Collateral”) in an amount such that the aggregate [Margin Value] of [Eligible Collateral] in the Accounts, including such Additional Collateral, immediately after giving effect to such transfer equals or exceeds such [Obligation Amount]. Collateral Manager shall determine that all Additional Collateral to be transferred to the Accounts constitutes [Eligible Collateral]. If on any Business Day the aggregate Margin Value of [Eligible Collateral] in the Accounts as reported by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 2 is greater than the then current [Obligation Amount] as reported by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 1 above, Collateral Manager is authorized to transfer from the Accounts [Eligible Collateral] with an aggregate Margin Value equal to but not exceeding such excess in accordance with Written Instructions from Pledgor which are confirmed by Secured Party pursuant to Written Instructions.

	(e)	If Pledgor disputes the market value of any Security, it shall provide a written notice thereof to Collateral Manager and Secured Party and the market value of such Security as of the immediately preceding Business Day shall prevail for purposes of all calculations under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) such time as Pledgor and Secured Party independently and without any further action by Collateral Manager resolve such dispute and notify Collateral Manager jointly in writing of the market value to use and (ii) [--]:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the date on which the notice of the dispute is given by Pledgor to Secured Party and Collateral Manager. Upon receipt of written notice of the specified market value, Collateral Manager will use such specified market value for all calculations performed that Business Day. If no

Page 10


		notice of a specified market value is delivered to Collateral Manager pursuant to the foregoing, Collateral Manager’s calculations shall prevail.

	(f)	Pledgor may not dispute the market value of any particular Security (by CUSIP or ISIN) in accordance with paragraph (b) more than twice, provided, however, that it shall be the sole responsibility of Secured Party to notify the other parties if Pledgor seeks to dispute the market value of a Security more than twice. If Pledgor seeks to dispute the market value of a Security more than twice, it shall have no effect and the market value determined by Collateral Manager shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, receipt by Collateral Manager of a notice from Pledgor of a dispute regarding the market value of one or more Securities shall not be construed to require that Collateral Manager make any changes or adjustments to its systems and it is understood and agreed that Collateral Manager will continue to perform its market value calculations hereunder using its own sources and methods.

	(g)	Securities or obligations which do not constitute [Eligible Collateral] shall not knowingly be transferred to the Accounts by Pledgor except to the extent that such Securities or obligations are received as distributions in respect of [Eligible Collateral] already held in the Accounts. Until Collateral Manager receives a Notice of Exclusive Control from Secured Party, Collateral Manager is authorized to act upon any Written Instructions from Pledgor to transfer any security or obligation that does not constitute [Eligible Collateral] from the Accounts.

	(h)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no withdrawals shall be made from the Accounts without the Written Instructions of the Secured Party if, immediately after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate Margin Value of the [Eligible Collateral] in the Accounts shall be less than the [Obligation Amount]. Subject to the foregoing, Collateral Manager shall transfer to Pledgor (whether by credit to another custody account of Pledgor at Collateral Manager or otherwise) all proceeds received by it with respect to the Collateral. After Collateral Manager’s receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, Collateral Manager shall credit to the Accounts all proceeds received by it with respect to the Collateral.

	(i)	Collateral Manager shall furnish Pledgor and Secured Party with advices of transactions affecting the Account and monthly Account statements.

3.6.		Electronic Access

	Access by the Customer and Secured Party to certain applications or products of Collateral Manager via Collateral Manager’s web site or otherwise shall be governed by this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule IV. Pledgor acknowledges that its access to such applications or products via Collateral Manager’s web site shall be on a “read only” basis, and Pledgor further acknowledges that Collateral Manager has no duty to inform it of Secured Party’s actions pursuant to such access to applications or products via Collateral Manager’s web site (other than as specified in the Operating Guidelines). Pledgor acknowledges that Collateral Manager has no liability for actions of Secured Party through the Secured Party’s access to applications or products via Collateral Manager’s web site.

4.	Subcustodians and Securities Depositaries

4.1.	Appointment of Subcustodians; Use of Securities Depositories

	(a)	Collateral Manager is authorized under this Agreement to act through and hold Collateral with Subcustodians. Collateral Manager will use reasonable care in the selection, monitoring and continued appointment of such Subcustodians. In addition, Collateral Manager and each Subcustodian may deposit Securities with, and hold Securities in any Securities Depository on such terms as such Securities Depository customarily operates and Pledgor will provide Collateral Manager with such documentation or acknowledgements that Collateral Manager may require to hold the Securities in such Securities Depository.

	(b)	Any agreement Collateral Manager enters into with a Subcustodian for holding Collateral Manager’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, 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 law, and that the beneficial ownership thereof will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration. Collateral Manager 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 the Pledgor’s assets. Where a Subcustodian deposits Securities with a Securities Depository, Collateral Manager will cause the Subcustodian to identify on its records that the Securities deposited by the Subcustodian at such Securities Depository belong to Collateral Manager, as agent. This paragraph 4.1(b) will not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by the Pledgor or by the Secured Party with any particular Subcustodian.

Page 13


	(c)	Collateral Manager 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 the either the Secured Party or Pledgor incurs a loss due to the negligence, willful default, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, Collateral Manager will make reasonable efforts, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but Collateral Manager will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.

4.2.		Liability for Subcustodians

	(a)	Subject to paragraph 7.1(b), Collateral Manager will be liable for direct losses incurred by the Pledgor and Secured Party 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 misconduct of such Subcustodian in the provision of custodial services by it; or

		(ii)	the insolvency of any Affiliated Subcustodian.

	(b)	Subject to paragraph 4.1(a) and Collateral Manager’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 Collateral Manager in its oversight process, Collateral Manager will not be responsible for any losses (whether direct or indirect) incurred by the either Pledgor or Secured Party that result from the insolvency of any Subcustodian which is not a branch or an Affiliated Subcustodian.

	(c)	Collateral Manager reserves the right to add, replace or remove Subcustodians. Collateral Manager will give prompt notice of any such action, which will be advance notice if practicable. Upon request by the Secured Party or Pledgor, Collateral Manager 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.	Tax Obligations and Services

	(b)	In consideration of any advances or loans Collateral Manager may extend to Pledgor in its sole discretion in connection with this Agreement, as a security for the repayment of any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts payable to Collateral Manager hereunder, Pledgor hereby (and Secured Party hereby acknowledges): (i) pledges, transfers, assigns, and grants to Collateral Manager

Page 14

5.2.		Pledgor to Provide Documentation

	(a)	Pledgor will provide to Collateral Manager 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. Pledgor undertakes to notify Collateral Manager immediately if any information requires updating or correcting. Collateral Manager provides no service of controlling or monitoring, and therefore has no duty in respect of, or liability for, any taxes, penalties, interest or additions to tax, payable or paid that result from:

		(i)	the inaccurate completion of documents by Pledgor or any third party;

		(ii)	provision to Collateral Manager or a third party of inaccurate or misleading information by Pledgor or any third party;

5.3.		Responsibility for Timely Payment

	Pledgor and Secured Party will be responsible in all events for the timely payment of all taxes relating to the Accounts, and Pledgor will be responsible in all events for the timely payment of all taxes relating to the NIB Account, provided, however, that Collateral Manager will be responsible for any penalty or additions to tax due solely as a result of Collateral Manager’s negligent acts or omissions with respect to paying or withholding tax or reporting interest, dividend or other income paid or credited to the Accounts or the NIB Account, as the case may be.

5.4.		Tax Relief Service

	(a)	Subject to the provisions of this Clause, Collateral Manager will apply for a reduction of withholding tax at source in respect of income payments on

Page 15


		collateral credited to the Accounts that Collateral Manager believes may be available. To defray expenses pertaining to nominal tax relief, Collateral Manager may from time to time set minimum thresholds as to a de minimus value of reduction of withholding which it will pursue in respect of income payments under this Clause.

	(b)	The provision of a tax relief service by Collateral Manager is conditional upon Collateral Manager receiving from Pledgor (i) a declaration of its identity and place of residence and (ii) certain other documentation (pro forma copies of which are available from Collateral Manager), prior to the receipt of collateral in the Accounts or the payment of income.

	(c)	Collateral Manager will perform tax relief services only with respect to taxation levied by the revenue authorities of the countries advised to Pledgor from time to time and Collateral Manager may, by notification in writing, in its absolute discretion, supplement or amend the countries in which the tax relief services are offered. Other than as expressly provided in this Clause, Collateral Manager will have no responsibility with regard to Pledgor or any third party’s tax position or status in any jurisdiction.

	(d)	The provision of a tax reclaim service by Collateral Manager is conditional upon Collateral Manager entering into a separate agreement with Pledgor to provide a tax reclaim service.

	(b)	Collateral Manager will be liable for the Pledgor’s or the Secured Party’s direct damages to the extent they result from Collateral Manager’s fraud, negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties as set out in this Agreement and to the extent provided in paragraph 4.2(a). Nevertheless, under no circumstances will Collateral Manager be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages (including, without limitation, lost profits) of any form incurred by any person or entity, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the type of action in which such a claim may be brought, with respect to the Accounts, the NIB Account, Collateral Manager’s performance under this Agreement, or Collateral Manager’s role as custodian.

	(c)	Pledgor and Secured party agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Indemnitees against, and hold them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnitees in connection with or arising out of (i) Collateral Manager’s performance under this Agreement, provided the Indemnitees have not acted with negligence or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the Liabilities in question or (ii) any Indemnitee’s status as a holder of record of the Pledgor’s or Secured Party’s Securities. Nevertheless, Pledgor and Secured Party will not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee under the preceding sentence with respect to any Liability for which Collateral Manager is liable under paragraph 4.2(a) of this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that Collateral Manager’s right to indemnification hereunder shall be enforceable against Pledgor and Secured Party directly, without any obligation to first proceed against any third party for whom they may act, and irrespective of any rights or recourse that Secured Party or Pledgor may have against each other or against any such third party. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of Pledgor and Secured Party, their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

	(d)	The Pledgor and the Secured party agree that Collateral Manager provides no service in relation to, and therefore has no duty or responsibility to: (i) question Instructions or make any suggestions to the Pledgor or the Secured Party or an Authorized Person regarding such Instructions other than as provided in paragraph 2.5; (ii) supervise or make recommendations with respect to investments or the retention of Securities; (iii) advise the Pledgor or the Secured Party or an Authorized Person regarding any default in the payment of principal or income of any Security; and (iv) evaluate or report to the Pledgor or the Secured Party or an Authorized Person regarding the financial condition of any broker, agent or other party to which Collateral

Page 17


		Manager is instructed to deliver Securities or Cash.

	It is understood and agreed by the parties that:

	(a)	in the event that either or both of Pledgor and Secured Party are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or any analogous or similar proceeding, Collateral Manager may be required to act, or may be prevented from acting, by (i) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, administration, liquidation, or analogous or similar laws or regulations, or by equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally; and/or (ii) the directions of a bankruptcy or insolvency officeholder or person with an analogous or similar status or authority; and/or (iii) the directions of a court or tribunal or other institution with analogous or similar status or authority; and

	(b)	if any or all of the circumstances contemplated in paragraph 7.2(b) arise, Collateral Manager shall not have any liability for any act or omission under, by virtue of or directly or indirectly in relation to this Agreement or in relation to any related matter or claim howsoever whenever and wherever arising and whether such claim be formulated in contract or tort or both or by reference to any other remedy or right and in whatever jurisdiction or forum.

7.3.		No Duty to Collect Proceeds

	Collateral Manager shall not be under any duty or obligation to take action to effect collection of any Proceeds due on the Collateral in the Accounts.

7.5.		Fees

	Collateral Manager shall be entitled to receive, and Pledgor agree[s] to pay, fees as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time, for its services under this Agreement, together with Collateral Manager’s reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and tax or related fees incidental to processing charged directly or indirectly by governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents.

Without prejudice to Collateral Manager’s other rights, Collateral Manager reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts from the due date until actual payment at a rate to be determined by Collateral Manager. Collateral Manager reserves the right to change the rate of fees and expenses should the assumptions underlying the Services, activity in the Accounts or the NIB Account, level of balances, market volatility and other factors change from those used to set the initial.

7.6.	Supply of Information Required by Regulation

	It is understood and agreed that Collateral Manager is authorized to supply any information regarding the Accounts and the NIB Account which is required by any law or governmental regulation now or hereafter in effect.

9.3.		Successors and Assigns

	(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.

	Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires Collateral Manager to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new Account with it. Accordingly, Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and Collateral Manager’s identity verification procedures require Collateral Manager to obtain information which may be used to confirm Pledgor’s or Secured Party’s identity including without limitation Pledgor’s and Secured Party’s name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). Pledgor and Secured Party may also be asked to provide information about its financial status such as its current audited and unaudited financial statements.

		(b) This Agreement has been entered into by the Trust and was executed and delivered by an officer of its Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, which officer was acting solely in his capacity as an officer of the Sponsor and not in his individual capacity and which Sponsor was acting solely in its capacity as sponsor of the Trust and not in its individual capacity. The obligations of this Agreement are not binding on such officer, the Sponsor or any shareholder of the series of the Trust individually. The obligations of this Agreement are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust or belonging or attributable to a Series thereof.
