(a) X.X. Xxxxxx is authorized under this Agreement to act through and hold the Customer’s Financial Assets with Subcustodians. At the request of Customer, X.X. Xxxxxx may, but need not, add to Schedule 1 an Eligible Foreign Custodian where X.X. Xxxxxx has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to the selection thereof. X.X. Xxxxxx shall notify Customer in the event that it elects to add any such entity. X.X. Xxxxxx will use reasonable care in the selection, monitoring and continued appointment of such Subcustodians. In addition, X.X. Xxxxxx and each Subcustodian may deposit Securities with, and hold Securities in any Securities Depository on such terms as such Securities Depository customarily operates and the Customer will provide X.X. Xxxxxx with such documentation or acknowledgements that X.X. Xxxxxx may require to hold the Financial Assets in such Securities Depository.
(b) Any agreement X.X. Xxxxxx enters into with a Subcustodian for holding X.X. Xxxxxx’x customers’ assets will provide that such assets will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of such Subcustodian or its creditors except a claim for payment for their safe custody or administration, or, in the case of cash deposits held by a foreign Subcustodian, except for liens or rights in favor of creditors of such Subcustodian arising under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, and that the beneficial ownership thereof will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration. X.X. Xxxxxx shall be responsible for all claims for payment of fees for safe custody or administration so that no Subcustodian exercises any claim for such payment against the Customer’s assets. Where a Subcustodian deposits Securities with a Securities Depository, X.X. Xxxxxx will cause the Subcustodian to identify on its records that the Securities deposited by the Subcustodian at such Securities Depository belong to X.X. Xxxxxx, as agent. This Section 5.1(b) will not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by the Customer with any particular Subcustodian.
(c) X.X. Xxxxxx is not responsible for the selection or monitoring of any Securities Depository and will not be liable for any act or omission by (or the insolvency of) any Securities Depository. In the event the Customer incurs a loss due to the negligence, willful misconduct, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, X.X. Xxxxxx will make reasonable efforts, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but X.X. Xxxxxx will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.
(d) The term Subcustodian as used in this Section 5.1 shall mean the following:
(i) a ‘U.S. Bank,’ which shall mean a U.S. bank as defined in rule 17f-5(a)(7);
(ii) an ‘Eligible Foreign Custodian,’ which shall mean: (i) a banking institution or trust company, incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States, that is regulated as such by that country’s government or an agency thereof, and (ii) a majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of a U.S. bank or bank holding company which subsidiary is incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States. In addition, an Eligible Foreign Custodian shall also mean any other entity that shall have been so qualified by exemptive order, rule or other appropriate action of the SEC.
