FOREIGN CUSTODY ARRANGEMENTS The Foreign Custody Manager shall be responsible for performing the delegated responsibilities only with respect to Covered Foreign Countries. The Foreign Custody Manager shall list on Schedule A for a Covered Foreign Country each Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager to maintain the Foreign Assets of the Portfolios with respect to the Covered Foreign Country. The list of Eligible Foreign Custodians may be amended from time to time upon notice in the sole discretion of the Foreign Custody Manager. This Agreement constitutes a Proper Instruction by a Fund, on behalf of each applicable Portfolio, to open an account, and to place and maintain Foreign Assets, for the Portfolio in each applicable Covered Foreign Country. The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, shall satisfy the account opening requirements for the Covered Foreign Country, and the delegation with respect to the Portfolio for the Covered Foreign Country will not be considered to have been accepted by the Custodian until that satisfaction. If the Foreign Custody Manager receives from the Fund Proper Instructions directing the Foreign Custody Manager to close the account, the delegation shall be considered withdrawn, and the Custodian shall immediately cease to be the Foreign Custody Manager with respect to the Portfolio for the Covered Foreign Country.
Employee Benefit Plans; Existing Agreements (a) Following the Effective Time, the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Employees”) shall be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, including severance plans (each a “Parent Plan”), of Parent or its Subsidiaries in which similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries participate, to the same extent that similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries participate; provided, however, that, in the case of all benefits then provided to the Company Employees, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent may instead provide such employees with participation in the employee benefit plans of the Company in which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (it being understood that inclusion of Company Employees in Parent’s employee benefit plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). From and after the Effective Time, Parent may elect not to provide to the Company Employees any benefits which are not then provided by Parent and its Subsidiaries to their employees notwithstanding that such benefits were provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to their employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the case of benefits which are provided at the Effective Time by Parent to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries but are not then provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to their employees, Parent will as soon as possible, and in all events within one year, after the Effective Time include the Company Employees in the plans under which such benefits are made available.
