Information Concerning Deposits at Bank (a) Under U.S. federal law, deposit accounts that the Customer maintains in Bank's foreign branches (outside of the U.S.) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In the event of Bank's liquidation, foreign branch deposits have a lesser preference than U.S. deposits, and such foreign deposits are subject to cross-border risks. (b) Bank's London Branch is a participant in the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the "FSCS"), and the following terms apply to the extent any amount standing to the credit of the Cash Account is deposited in one or more deposit accounts at Bank's London Branch. The terms of the FSCS offer protection in connection with deposits to certain types of claimants to whom Bank's London Branch provides services in the event that they suffer a financial loss as a direct consequence of Bank's London Branch being unable to meet any of its obligations and, subject to the FSCS rules regarding eligible deposits, the Customer may have a right to claim compensation from the FSCS. Subject to the FSCS rules, the maximum compensation payable by the FSCS, as at the date of this Agreement, in relation to eligible deposits is £85,000. (c) In the event that Bank incurs a loss attributable to Country Risk with respect to any cash balance it maintains on deposit at a Subcustodian or other correspondent bank in regard to its global custody or trust businesses in the country where the Subcustodian or other correspondent bank is located, Bank may set such loss off against Customer's Cash Account to the extent that such loss is directly attributable to Customer's investments in that market.
