Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. (b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary for such series, its successors or their respective nominees. The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of a series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series of like tenor, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security, if (i) the Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (B) ceases to be qualified to serve as Depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, or (iii) an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from a beneficial owner to issue such Physical Securities. (c) Any beneficial interest in a Global Security that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security representing securities of the same series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in such other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. (d) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.08, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount. (e) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. (f) The registered holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

Securities Depositories (a) Bank hereby represents to Customer that each securities depository listed on Schedule B is an Eligible Securities Depository. If Schedule B is amended, this representation shall be effective as to the amended Schedule on the date of such amendment. Bank shall promptly advise Customer if any securities depository listed on Schedule B ceases to be an Eligible Securities Depository. (b) Bank shall provide Customer an analysis of the custody risks (which analyses may be provided to Customer electronically) associated with maintaining Customer’s Foreign Assets with each Eligible Securities Depository used by Bank and at which any Foreign Assets of Customer are held or are expected to be held. Bank shall use reasonable efforts to provide such analysis at least annually on March 31st of each calendar year (or, in the case of an Eligible Securities Depository not used by Bank as of the agreed upon date, prior to the initial placement of Customer’s Foreign Assets at such Depository after such date). Bank shall monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining Custo-mer’s Foreign Assets at each such Eligible Securities Depository on a continuing basis, and shall promptly notify Customer or its investment adviser of any material changes in such risks. (c) Bank shall, upon Customer’s reasonable request from time to time, provide certain additional information (“Additional Information”) to Customer beyond the scope of the information Bank is otherwise obligated to provide to Customer under this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties relating to Customer’s Foreign Assets. For example, Additional Information may relate to a country’s financial infrastructure, prevailing custody and settlement practices, laws applicable to the safekeeping and recovery of Foreign Assets held in custody, and the likelihood of nationalization, currency controls and similar risks, but shall not include information required to be provided under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties relating to Customer’s Foreign Assets. (d) Bank’s obligation to provide Customer with Additional Information shall be limited to the extent Additional Information is (i) already in the possession of Bank, or (ii) available to Bank using commercially reasonable means. Customer hereby acknowledges that: (i) Additional Information is designed solely to inform Customer of certain market conditions and procedures and is not intended as a recommendation to invest or not invest in particular markets; and (ii) Bank has gathered the information from sources it considers reliable, but does not assume responsibility for inaccuracies or incomplete information attributable to actions or omissions of third parties. (For this purpose, “third parties” shall not include any of the Subcustodians listed on Schedule A, except to the extent that, in a given case, a Subcustodian accurately transmitted information it had itself received from a third party (such as from a regulator or securities depository) rather than information it had generated itself.) (e) Customer and Bank hereby acknowledge and agree that the decision to place Customer's Foreign Assets with an Eligible Securities Depository shall be made by Customer's investment adviser (subject to the Board's oversight) or the Customer, after consideration of the information provided by Bank and other information Customer deems relevant, and based on standards of care that are generally applicable to investment advisers and the Board. Further, the parties understand that the decision to place Customer’s Foreign Assets with an Eligible Securities Depository does not have to be made separately, but may be made in the overall context of the decision to invest in a particular country.
Interest on Deposit Liabilities The Assuming Institution agrees that, from and after Bank Closing, it will accrue and pay interest on Deposit liabilities assumed pursuant to Section 2.1 at a rate(s) it shall determine; provided, that for non-transaction Deposit liabilities such rate(s) shall not be less than the lowest rate offered by the Assuming Institution to its depositors for non-transaction deposit accounts. The Assuming Institution shall permit each depositor to withdraw, without penalty for early withdrawal, all or any portion of such depositor's Deposit, whether or not the Assuming Institution elects to pay interest in accordance with any deposit agreement formerly existing between the Failed Bank and such depositor; and further provided, that if such Deposit has been pledged to secure an obligation of the depositor or other party, any withdrawal thereof shall be subject to the terms of the agreement governing such pledge. The Assuming Institution shall give notice to such depositors as provided in Section 5.3 of the rate(s) of interest which it has determined to pay and of such withdrawal rights.
