Segregation All Securities and non-cash property held by the Custodian for the account of the Fund (other than Securities maintained in a Securities Depository, Eligible Securities Depository or Book-Entry System) shall be physically segregated from other Securities and non-cash property in the possession of the Custodian (including the Securities and non-cash property of the other series of the Trust, if applicable) and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement.
Data Segregation a. DSHS Data must be segregated or otherwise distinguishable from non-DSHS data. This is to ensure that when no longer needed by the Contractor, all DSHS Data can be identified for return or destruction. It also aids in determining whether DSHS Data has or may have been compromised in the event of a security breach. As such, one or more of the following methods will be used for data segregation.
(1) DSHS Data will be kept on media (e.g. hard disk, optical disc, tape, etc.) which will contain no non-DSHS Data. And/or,
(2) DSHS Data will be stored in a logical container on electronic media, such as a partition or folder dedicated to DSHS Data. And/or,
(3) DSHS Data will be stored in a database which will contain no non-DSHS data. And/or,
(4) DSHS Data will be stored within a database and will be distinguishable from non-DSHS data by the value of a specific field or fields within database records.
(5) When stored as physical paper documents, DSHS Data will be physically segregated from non- DSHS data in a drawer, folder, or other container.
b. When it is not feasible or practical to segregate DSHS Data from non-DSHS data, then both the DSHS Data and the non-DSHS data with which it is commingled must be protected as described in this exhibit.
Subcustodians and Securities Depositories Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Section 8, the Fund hereby authorizes the Custodian to utilize Securities Depositories to act on behalf of the Fund and to appoint from time to time and to utilize Subcustodians. With respect to securities and funds held by a Subcustodian, either directly or indirectly (including by a Securities Depository or Clearing Corporation), notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, payment for securities purchased and delivery of securities sold may be made prior to receipt of securities or payment, respectively, and securities or payment may be received in a form, in accordance with (a) governmental regulations, (b) rules of Securities Depositories and clearing agencies, (c) generally accepted trade practice in the applicable local market, (d) the terms and characteristics of the particular Investment, or (e) the terms of Instructions.

Use of a Securities System by the Custodian shall be in accordance with applicable Federal Reserve Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, if any, and subject to the following provisions:
Foreign Subcustodians and Securities Depositories Unless instructed otherwise by the Fund, the Custodian may deposit and/or maintain non-U.S. Investments of the Fund in any non-U.S. Securities Depository provided such Securities Depository meets the requirements of an "eligible securities depository" under Rule 17f-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act, or any successor rule or regulation ("Rule 17f-7") or which by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission is exempted therefrom. Prior to the time that securities are placed with such depository, but subject to the provisions of Section 8.5 below, the Custodian shall have prepared an assessment of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with the Securities Depository and shall have established a system to monitor such risks on a continuing basis in accordance with Section 8.5. Additionally, the Custodian may, from time to time, appoint (a) any bank, trust company or other entity meeting the requirements of an “eligible foreign custodian” under Rule 17f-5 or which by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission is exempted therefrom, or (b) any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of the Fund as a Subcustodian for purposes of holding Investments of the Fund outside the United States.
Domestic Subcustodians and Securities Depositories The Custodian may deposit and/or maintain, either directly or through one or more agents appointed by the Custodian, Investments of the Fund in any Securities Depository in the United States, including The Depository Trust Company, provided such Depository meets applicable requirements of the Federal Reserve Bank or of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Custodian may, at any time and from time to time, appoint any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of the Fund as a Subcustodian for purposes of holding Investments of the Fund in the United States.
Securities Depositories (a) Bank hereby represents to Customer that each securities depository listed on Schedule B is an Eligible Securities Depository. If Schedule B is amended, this representation shall be effective as to the amended Schedule on the date of such amendment. Bank shall promptly advise Customer if any securities depository listed on Schedule B ceases to be an Eligible Securities Depository.
(b) Bank shall provide Customer an analysis of the custody risks (which analyses may be provided to Customer electronically) associated with maintaining Customer’s Foreign Assets with each Eligible Securities Depository used by Bank and at which any Foreign Assets of Customer are held or are expected to be held. Bank shall use reasonable efforts to provide such analysis at least annually on March 31st of each calendar year (or, in the case of an Eligible Securities Depository not used by Bank as of the agreed upon date, prior to the initial placement of Customer’s Foreign Assets at such Depository after such date). Bank shall monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining Custo-mer’s Foreign Assets at each such Eligible Securities Depository on a continuing basis, and shall promptly notify Customer or its investment adviser of any material changes in such risks.
(c) Bank shall, upon Customer’s reasonable request from time to time, provide certain additional information (“Additional Information”) to Customer beyond the scope of the information Bank is otherwise obligated to provide to Customer under this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties relating to Customer’s Foreign Assets. For example, Additional Information may relate to a country’s financial infrastructure, prevailing custody and settlement practices, laws applicable to the safekeeping and recovery of Foreign Assets held in custody, and the likelihood of nationalization, currency controls and similar risks, but shall not include information required to be provided under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties relating to Customer’s Foreign Assets.
(d) Bank’s obligation to provide Customer with Additional Information shall be limited to the extent Additional Information is (i) already in the possession of Bank, or (ii) available to Bank using commercially reasonable means. Customer hereby acknowledges that: (i) Additional Information is designed solely to inform Customer of certain market conditions and procedures and is not intended as a recommendation to invest or not invest in particular markets; and (ii) Bank has gathered the information from sources it considers reliable, but does not assume responsibility for inaccuracies or incomplete information attributable to actions or omissions of third parties. (For this purpose, “third parties” shall not include any of the Subcustodians listed on Schedule A, except to the extent that, in a given case, a Subcustodian accurately transmitted information it had itself received from a third party (such as from a regulator or securities depository) rather than information it had generated itself.)
(e) Customer and Bank hereby acknowledge and agree that the decision to place Customer's Foreign Assets with an Eligible Securities Depository shall be made by Customer's investment adviser (subject to the Board's oversight) or the Customer, after consideration of the information provided by Bank and other information Customer deems relevant, and based on standards of care that are generally applicable to investment advisers and the Board. Further, the parties understand that the decision to place Customer’s Foreign Assets with an Eligible Securities Depository does not have to be made separately, but may be made in the overall context of the decision to invest in a particular country.
Segregation of Funds Contractor shall comply with federal requirements relating to the required segregation of funds received for abortion services in accordance with the Affordable Care Act Section 1303 and 45 C.F.R. § 156.280.
Foreign Securities Depositories Except as may otherwise be agreed upon in writing by the Custodian and the Fund, assets of the Portfolios shall be maintained in foreign securities depositories only through arrangements implemented by the foreign banking institutions serving as sub-custodians pursuant to the terms hereof. Where possible, such arrangements shall include entry into agreements containing the provisions set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.
Deposit of Fund Assets in U.S. Securities Systems The Custodian may deposit and/or maintain securities owned by a Portfolio in a U.S. Securities System in compliance with the conditions of Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.
