Use of Book-Entry System The Fund shall deliver to PFPC Trust certified resolutions of the Board approving, authorizing and instructing PFPC Trust on a continuous basis, to deposit in the Book-Entry System all securities belonging to the Portfolios eligible for deposit therein and to utilize the Book-Entry System to the extent possible in connection with settlements of purchases and sales of securities by the Portfolios, and deliveries and returns of securities loaned, subject to repurchase agreements or used as collateral in connection with borrowings. PFPC Trust shall continue to perform such duties until it receives Written Instructions or Oral Instructions authorizing contrary actions. PFPC Trust shall administer the Book-Entry System as follows:
(i) With respect to securities of each Portfolio which are maintained in the Book-Entry System, the records of PFPC Trust shall identify by book-entry or otherwise those securities belonging to each Portfolio. PFPC Trust shall furnish to the Fund a detailed statement of the Property held for each Portfolio under this Agreement at least monthly and from time to time and upon written request.
(ii) Securities and any cash of each Portfolio deposited in the Book-Entry System will at all times be segregated from any assets and cash controlled by PFPC Trust in other than a fiduciary or custodian capacity but may be commingled with other assets held in such capacities. PFPC Trust and its sub-custodian, if any, will pay out money only upon receipt of securities and will deliver securities only upon the receipt of money.
(iii) All books and records maintained by PFPC Trust which relate to the Fund's participation in the Book-Entry System will be open to the inspection of Authorized Persons at all times during PFPC Trust's regular business hours, and PFPC Trust will furnish to the Fund all information in respect of the services rendered as it may require. PFPC Trust will also provide the Fund with such reports on its own system of internal control as the Fund may reasonably request from time to time.
Book-Entry Systems The Depositary shall make arrangements for the acceptance of the ADSs into DTC. All ADSs held through DTC will be registered in the name of the nominee for DTC (currently “Cede & Co.”). As such, the nominee for DTC will be the only “Holder” of all ADSs held through DTC. Unless issued by the Depositary as Uncertificated ADSs, the ADSs registered in the name of Cede & Co. will be evidenced by one or more ADR(s) in the form of a “Balance Certificate,” which will provide that it represents the aggregate number of ADSs from time to time indicated in the records of the Depositary as being issued hereunder and that the aggregate number of ADSs represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased by making adjustments on such records of the Depositary and of DTC or its nominee as hereinafter provided. Citibank, N.A. (or such other entity as is appointed by DTC or its nominee) may hold the “Balance Certificate” as custodian for DTC. Each Beneficial Owner of ADSs held through DTC must rely upon the procedures of DTC and the DTC Participants to exercise or be entitled to any rights attributable to such ADSs. The DTC Participants shall for all purposes be deemed to have all requisite power and authority to act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners of the ADSs held in the DTC Participants’ respective accounts in DTC and the Depositary shall for all purposes be authorized to rely upon any instructions and information given to it by DTC Participants. So long as ADSs are held through DTC or unless otherwise required by law, ownership of beneficial interests in the ADSs registered in the name of the nominee for DTC will be shown on, and transfers of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by (i) DTC or its nominee (with respect to the interests of DTC Participants), or (ii) DTC Participants or their nominees (with respect to the interests of clients of DTC Participants). Any distributions made, and any notices given, by the Depositary to DTC under the terms of the Deposit Agreement shall (unless otherwise specified by the Depositary) satisfy the Depositary’s obligations under the Deposit Agreement to make such distributions, and give such notices, in respect of the ADSs held in DTC (including, for avoidance of doubt, to the DTC Participants holding the ADSs in their DTC accounts and to the Beneficial Owners of such ADSs).
Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more word-processed Certificates of Authorized Denomination representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such Beneficial Holder’s interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided above and in Section 5.09. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following legend: Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Trust or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any Certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 5.09:
(a) the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;
(b) the Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the sole Certificateholder;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.07 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall control; and
(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the DTC Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or the DTC Participants. Pursuant to the Depositary Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.09, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the DTC Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Class of Book-Entry Certificates to such DTC Participants. For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates evidencing a specified Percentage Interest, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial Holders owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest represented by the Book-Entry Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.
Book Entries The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Book-Entry Only System It is intended that the bonds of Series [⚫] be registered so as to participate in the securities depository system (the “DTC System”) with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as set forth herein. The bonds of Series [⚫] shall be initially issued in the form of a fully registered bond or bonds in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC. The Company and the Trustees are authorized to execute and deliver such letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System, including the Letter of Representations from the Company and the Trustees to DTC relating to the bonds of Series [⚫] (the “Representation Letter”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Representation Letter and the Mortgage, the terms of the Mortgage shall control. DTC may exercise the rights of a bondholder only in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to the exercise of such rights. With respect to bonds of Series [⚫] registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the Company and the Trustees shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds such bonds from time to time as securities depository (each such broker- dealer, bank or other financial institution being referred to herein as a “Depository Participant”) or to any person on behalf of whom such a Depository Participant holds an interest in such bonds (each such person being herein referred to as an “Indirect Participant”). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and the Trustees shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to:
(i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominee or any Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the bonds of Series [⚫],
(ii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a bond of Series [⚫], of any notice with respect to the bonds of Series [⚫], including any notice of redemption,
(iii) the payment to any Depository Participant or Indirect Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a bond of Series [⚫], of any amount with respect to principal of, redemption premium, if any, on, or interest on, the bonds of Series [⚫], or
(iv) any consent given by DTC as registered owner. So long as certificates for the bonds of Series [⚫] are not issued as hereinafter provided, the Company and the Trustees may treat DTC or any successor securities depository as, and deem DTC or any successor securities depository to be, the absolute owner of such bonds for all purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, (1) the payment of principal and interest on such bonds, (2) giving notice of matters (including redemption) with respect to such bonds and (3) registering transfers with respect to such bonds. While a bond of Series [⚫] is in the DTC System, no person other than DTC or its nominee shall receive a certificate with respect to such bond. In the event that:
(a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days,
(b) the Company determines that the beneficial owners of the bonds of Series [⚫] should be able to obtain certificated bonds and so notifies the Trustees in writing or
(c) there shall have occurred and be continuing a completed default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be a completed default with respect to the bonds of Series [⚫], the bonds of Series [⚫] shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. In the case of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the Company may determine that the bonds of Series [⚫] shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a securities depository system, as may be acceptable to the Company and the Trustees, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the Company does not appoint a successor securities depository system within 90 days, then the bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of bonds transferring or exchanging such bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Mortgage to the contrary, so long as any bond of Series [⚫] is registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such bond and all notices with respect to such bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.

At its election, the Trust shall be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claim against a Book-Entry System or Securities Depository or any other person from any loss or damage to the Fund arising from the use of such Book-Entry System or Securities Depository, if and to the extent that the Fund has not been made whole for any such loss or damage.
(g) With respect to its responsibilities under this Section 3.05 and pursuant to Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act, the Custodian hereby warrants to the Trust that it agrees to (i) exercise due care in accordance with reasonable commercial standards in discharging its duty as a securities intermediary to obtain and thereafter maintain such assets, (ii) provide, promptly upon request by the Trust, such reports as are available concerning the Custodian’s internal accounting controls and financial strength, and (iii) require any Sub-Custodian to exercise due care in accordance with reasonable commercial standards in discharging its duty as a securities intermediary to obtain and thereafter maintain assets corresponding to the security entitlements of its entitlement holders.

Delivery of Servicing Records The Seller shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, all servicing records and the Servicing File in the Seller's possession relating to each related Mortgage Loan including the information enumerated in the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each such Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein).

(b) The records of the Bank (and any such agent) with respect to the Fund's participation in the Book-Entry System through the Bank (or any such agent) will identify by book entry the Portfolio Securities which are included with other securities deposited in the Account and shall at all times during the regular business hours of the Bank (or such agent) be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of the Fund. Where securities are transferred to the Fund's account, the Bank shall also, by book entry or otherwise, identify as belonging to the Fund a quantity of securities in a fungible bulk of securities (i) registered in the name of the Bank or its nominee, or (ii) shown on the Bank's account on the books of the Federal Reserve Bank;
