Responsibilities of Adviser In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, the Adviser agrees that it will: (a) Comply with all applicable law, including but not limited to the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the conditions of any order affecting the Trust or a Fund issued thereunder; (b) Use the same skill and care in providing such services as it uses in providing services to other fiduciary accounts for which it has investment responsibilities; (c) Not make loans to any person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Fund shares; (d) Place, or arrange for the placement of, all orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Funds either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer (including any affiliated broker or dealer). In executing portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, the Adviser will use its best efforts to seek on behalf of each Fund the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the Adviser shall consider all factors that it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In evaluating the best overall terms available, and in selecting the broker or dealer to execute a particular transaction, the Adviser may also consider whether such broker or dealer furnishes research and other information or services to the Adviser; (e) Adhere to the investment objective, strategies and policies and procedures of the Trust adopted on behalf of each Fund; and (f) Maintain a policy and practice of conducting its investment advisory services hereunder independently of the commercial banking operations of its affiliates. In making investment recommendations for a Fund, the Adviser's investment advisory personnel will not inquire or take into consideration whether the issuers (or related supporting institutions) of securities proposed for purchase or sale for the Fund's account are customers of the commercial departments of its affiliates. In dealing with commercial customers, such commercial departments will not inquire or take into consideration whether securities of those customers are held by the Fund.
Actions of the Bank The Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding assets held in the Accounts. However, until it receives Instructions to the contrary, the Bank will: (a) Present for payment any Securities which are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable and all coupons and other income items which call for payment upon presentation, to the extent that the Bank or Subcustodian is actually aware of such opportunities. (b) Execute in the name of the Customer such ownership and other certificates as may be required to obtain payments in respect of Securities. (c) Exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities for definitive Securities. (d) Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction involving the Securities, including, without limitation, affiliates of the Bank or any Subcustodian. (e) Issue statements to the Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, identifying the Assets in the Accounts. The Bank will send the Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of Assets to or from the Accounts. Such statements, advices or notifications shall indicate the identity of the entity having custody of the Assets. Unless the Customer sends the Bank a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt, the Customer shall be deemed to have approved such statement. The Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters set forth in such statement or reasonably implied therefrom as though it had been settled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action where the Customer and all persons having or claiming an interest in the Customer or the Customer’s Accounts were parties if: (a) the Customer has failed to provide a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt and where the Customer’s failure to so provide a written exception or objection within such ninety (90) day period has limited the Bank's (i) access to the records, materials and other information required to investigate the Customer’s exception or objection, and (ii) ability to recover from third parties any amounts for which the Bank may become liable in connection with such exception or objection, or (b) where the Customer has otherwise explicitly approved any such statement. All collections of funds or other property paid or distributed in respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall be made at the risk of the Customer. The Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of notice by the Bank or by its Subcustodians of any payment, redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the Custody Account in respect of which the Bank has agreed to take any action under this Agreement.

(b) The Adviser has furnished the Sub-Adviser with a copy of the prospectus and statement of additional information of the Fund and it agrees during the continuance of this Agreement to furnish the Sub-Adviser copies of any revisions or supplements thereto at, or, if practicable, before the time the revisions or supplements become effective.
