Delegation. Custodian is hereby authorized to assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to a BNY Affiliate, whenever and on such terms and conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate to perform its services hereunder, without any further notice to the Funds. The Funds agree to be bound by all actions taken by such BNY Affiliate pursuant to the preceding sentence to the same extent as if they were taken by Custodian, it being understood and agreed that no such assignment or delegation shall discharge Custodian from its obligations hereunder. Accordingly, Custodian is fully responsible to the Funds for the acts or omissions of such BNY Affiliate under the Agreement to the same extent that Custodian would be liable for such acts or omissions had Custodian not delegated such services to such BNY Affiliate. If so advised by Custodian, the Funds shall provide Instructions or other information directly to such BNY Affiliate rather than to Custodian.
