In connection with the appointment of any Foreign Subcustodian, the Custodian shall, or shall cause the Domestic Subcustodian to, enter into a subcustodian agreement with the Foreign Subcustodian in form and substance approved by each such Fund. The Custodian shall not consent to the amendment of, and shall cause any Domestic Subcustodian not to consent to the amendment of, any agreement entered into with a Foreign Subcustodian, which materially affects any Fund's rights under such agreement, except upon prior written approval of such Fund pursuant to Special Instructions.

At each Fund's election, a Fund shall be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claims against a Foreign Sub-Custodian as a consequence of any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim if and to the extent that a Fund and any applicable series have not been made whole for any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim.
