Advances for Settlement Except as otherwise may be agreed upon by the parties hereto, the Custodian shall not be required to comply with any Written Instructions to settle the purchase of any Securities on behalf of a Fund unless there is sufficient cash in the account(s) pertaining to such Fund at the time or to settle the sale of any Securities from such an account(s) unless such Securities are in deliverable form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the purchase price of such Securities exceeds the amount of cash in the account(s) at the time of such purchase, the Custodian may, in its sole discretion, advance the amount of the difference in order to settle the purchase of such Securities. The amount of any such advance shall be deemed a loan from the Custodian to the Trust payable on demand and bearing interest accruing from the date such loan is made up to but not including the date such loan is repaid at the rate per annum customarily charged by the Custodian on similar loans.
