Execute ownership and other certificates and affidavits for all federal, state and local tax purposes in connection with the collection of bond and note coupons; and 3. Take such other action as may be necessary or proper in connection with: a. The collection, receipt and deposit of such income and other payments, including but not limited to the presentation for payment of: 1. all coupons and other income items requiring presentation; and 2. all other securities which may mature or be called, redeemed, retired or otherwise become payable and regarding which the Custodian has actual knowledge, or notice of which is contained in publications of the type to which it normally subscribes for such purpose; and b. the endorsement for collection, in the name of the Fund, of all checks, drafts or other negotiable instruments. Custodian, however, will not be required to institute suit or take other extraordinary action to enforce collection except upon receipt of instructions and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs and expenses of such suit or other actions. Custodian will receive, claim and collect all stock dividends, rights or other similar items and will deal with the same pursuant to instructions. Unless prior instructions have been received to the contrary, Custodian will, without further instructions, sell any rights held for the account of Fund on the last trade date prior to the date of expiration of such rights.
