	(i)	deposited during the period it is credited to the Accounts in one or more deposit accounts at X.X. Xxxxxx’x head office or at one of its non-U.S. branch offices and will constitute a debt owing to the Customer by X.X. Xxxxxx as banker, provided that (A) any cash so deposited with a non-U.S. branch office will be payable exclusively by that branch office in the applicable currency, subject to compliance with Applicable Law, including, without limitation, any restrictions on transactions in the applicable currency imposed by the country of the applicable currency and (B) from time to time, X.X. Xxxxxx may, in its discretion, pay interest on any such deposit account at a rate to be determined by X.X.

	(ii)	placed by X.X. Xxxxxx with a bank or other financial institution in the country in which the applicable currency is issued, in which case the deposit will constitute a debt owing to the Customer by that bank or other financial institution and not X.X. Xxxxxx, payable exclusively in the applicable currency at that bank or financial institution.

(b) Any amounts credited by X.X. Xxxxxx to the Cash Account on the basis of a notice or an interim credit from a third party, may be reversed if X.X. Xxxxxx does not receive final payment in a timely manner. X.X. Xxxxxx will notify the Customer promptly of any such reversal.

2.3. Segregation of Assets; Nominee Name

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - DOCUMENT ID: [D2817270] - May 2016
Page 5

will notify Customer promptly following X.X. Xxxxxx becoming aware of a Sub-Custodian that holds Customer’s Financial Assets failing to segregate customer assets from its proprietary assets.

	(v)	decline to accept any asset or property which it deems to be unsuitable or inconsistent with its custodial operations.

2.4. Settlement of Transactions

Subject to Article 3 and Section 4.2 of this Agreement, X.X. Xxxxxx will act in accordance with Instructions with respect to settlement of transactions. Settlement of transactions will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Customer authorizes X.X. Xxxxxx to deliver Financial Assets or payment in accordance with applicable market practice in advance of receipt or settlement of consideration expected in connection with such delivery or payment, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that such action alone will not of itself constitute negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of X.X. Xxxxxx, and the risk of loss arising from any such action will be borne by the Customer. In the case of the failure of the Customer’s counterparty (or other appropriate party) to deliver the expected consideration as agreed, X.X. Xxxxxx will notify the Customer of such failure. If the Customer’s counterparty continues to fail to deliver the expected consideration, X.X. Xxxxxx will provide information reasonably requested by the Customer that X.X. Xxxxxx has in its possession to allow the Customer to enforce rights that the Customer has against the Customer’s counterparty, but neither X.X. Xxxxxx nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any similar action.

2.5. Contractual Settlement Date Accounting

(a) X.X. Xxxxxx will effect book entries on a contractual settlement date accounting basis as described below with respect to the settlement for those Financial Assets and transactions as to which X.X. Xxxxxx customarily offers contractual settlement date accounting. X.X. Xxxxxx reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of contractual settlement date accounting for credit or operational reasons.

	(i)	Sales: On the settlement date for a sale, X.X. Xxxxxx will credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale and post the Securities Account as pending delivery of the relevant Financial Assets.
	(ii)	Purchases: On the settlement date for a purchase (or earlier, if market practice requires delivery of the purchase price before the settlement date), X.X. Xxxxxx will debit the Cash Account for the settlement amount. X.X. Xxxxxx will then post the Securities Account as awaiting receipt of the expected Financial Assets. The Customer will not be entitled to the delivery of Financial Assets until X.X. Xxxxxx or a Subcustodian actually receives them.

Global Custody Agreement - New York - General - DOCUMENT ID: [D2817270] - May 2016
Page 6

Upon request, X.X. Xxxxxx shall provide the Customer with a list of those markets for which it provides contractual settlement date accounting. X.X. Xxxxxx may add markets to or remove markets from such list upon reasonable notice to the Customer.

(b) X.X. Xxxxxx may reverse any debit or credit made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a transaction’s actual settlement upon notice to the Customer in cases where X.X. Xxxxxx reasonably believes that the transaction will not settle in the ordinary course within a reasonable time. The Customer will be responsible for any Liabilities resulting from such reversal. The Customer acknowledges that the procedures described in Section 2.5 are of an administrative nature, and X.X. Xxxxxx does not undertake to make loans of cash and/or Financial Assets available to the Customer.

2.6. Actual Settlement Date Accounting

With respect to settlement of any transaction that is not posted to the Account on the contractual settlement date as referred to in Section 2.5, X.X. Xxxxxx will post such transaction on the date on which the cash or Financial Assets received as consideration for the transaction is actually received and settled by X.X. Xxxxxx.

2.7. Income Collection (AutoCredit®)

	(a)	X.X. Xxxxxx will monitor information publicly available in the applicable market about forthcoming income payments on the Financial Assets held in the Securities Account, and will promptly notify the Customer of such information.
	(b)	X.X. Xxxxxx will credit the Cash Account with income proceeds on Financial Assets on the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by X.X. Xxxxxx or any third party (“AutoCredit”) for those Financial Assets and/or markets for which X.X. Xxxxxx customarily offers an AutoCredit service. However, X.X. Xxxxxx reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of AutoCredit for credit or operational reasons. Upon request, X.X. Xxxxxx shall provide the Customer with a list of AutoCredit eligible markets. X.X. Xxxxxx may add markets to or remove markets from the list of AutoCredit markets upon notice to the Customer that is reasonable in the circumstances. X.X. Xxxxxx may reverse AutoCredit credits upon oral or written notification to the Customer if X.X. Xxxxxx believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by X.X. Xxxxxx within a reasonable period or the credit was incorrect.
	(c)	When the AutoCredit service is not available, income on Financial Assets, net of any taxes withheld by X.X. Xxxxxx or any third party, will be credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation by X.X. Xxxxxx.
	(d)	X.X. Xxxxxx will use reasonable efforts to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds and notify the Customer of the late payment, but neither X.X. Xxxxxx nor its Subcustodians will be obliged to file any formal notice of default, institute legal proceedings, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any similar action.

2.8. Miscellaneous Administrative Duties

(a) Until X.X. Xxxxxx receives Instructions to the contrary, X.X. Xxxxxx will:

	(i)	present all Financial Assets for which X.X. Xxxxxx has received notice of a call for redemption or that have otherwise matured, and all income and interest coupons and other income items that call for payment upon presentation;
	(ii)	execute in the name of the Customer such certificates as may be required to obtain payment in respect of Financial Assets; and

(iii) exchange interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title.

	(b)	In the event that, as a result of holding of Financial Assets in an omnibus account, the Customer receives fractional interests in Financial Assets arising out of a Corporate Action or class action litigation, X.X. Xxxxxx will credit the Customer with the amount of cash the Customer would have received, as reasonably determined by X.X. Xxxxxx, had the Financial Assets not been held in an omnibus account, and the Customer shall relinquish to X.X. Xxxxxx its interest in such fractional interests.
	(c)	If some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Assets is called for redemption, X.X. Xxxxxx may allot the amount redeemed among the respective beneficial holders of such a class of Financial Assets on a pro rata basis or in a similar manner X.X. Xxxxxx deems fair and equitable.
	(d)	X.X. Xxxxxx reserves the right to reverse any transactions that are credited to the Accounts due to mis-postings and other similar actions.

2.9. Corporate Actions

	(a)	X.X. Xxxxxx will act in accordance with local market practice to obtain information concerning Corporate Actions that is publicly available in the local market. X.X. Xxxxxx also will review information obtained from sources to which X.X. Xxxxxx subscribes for information concerning such Corporate Actions. X.X. Xxxxxx will promptly provide that information (or summaries that reflect the material points concerning the applicable Corporate Action) to the Customer or its Authorized Person.
	(b)	X.X. Xxxxxx will act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such Corporate Actions. If the Customer fails to provide X.X. Xxxxxx with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action, neither X.X.

Xxxxxx and the Customer or as may be set forth by X.X. Xxxxxx as a default action in the notification it provides under Section 2.9(a) with respect to that Corporate Action.

	(ii)	the provision to X.X. Xxxxxx or a third party of inaccurate or misleading information by the Customer or any third party;

Xxxxxx), prior to the receipt of Financial Assets in the Securities Account and/or the payment of income.
	(c)	X.X. Xxxxxx will perform tax relief services only with respect to taxation levied by the revenue authorities of the countries advised to the Customer from time to time and X.X.

Page 20

	(iii)	X.X. Xxxxxx may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Customer in the event that X.X. Xxxxxx reasonably determines that the Customer has ceased to satisfy X.X. Xxxxxx’x customary credit requirements and/or reputational or regulatory concerns; and
	(iv)	The Customer may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice within sixty (60) days following an assignment of this Agreement (a) to any X.X. Xxxxxx Affiliate or subsidiary of X.X. Xxxxxx or (b) in connection with a merger, reorganization, stock sale or sale of all or substantially all of X.X. Xxxxxx’x custody business, for which X.X. Xxxxxx did not obtain Customer’s consent.
	(v)	The Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Initial Term by giving not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to X.X. Xxxxxx upon payment of a termination fee. During the first and second years of the Initial Term, the termination fee will be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $2 million and (ii) six (6) times the average monthly fees paid during the six (6) month period prior to the Customer’s notice of termination, or since the date on which X.X. Xxxxxx commenced providing services under this Agreement if such period is less than six (6) months. During the third year of the Initial Term, the termination fee will be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $1.25 million and (ii) four (4) times the average monthly fees paid during the four (4) month period prior to the Customer’s notice of termination. During the fourth and fifth year of the Initial Term, the termination fee will be zero.

9.2. Exit Procedure

The Customer will provide X.X. Xxxxxx full details of the persons to whom X.X. Xxxxxx must deliver Financial Assets and cash within a reasonable period before the effective time of termination of this Agreement. If the Customer fails to provide such details in a timely manner, X.X. Xxxxxx shall be entitled to continue to be paid fees under this Agreement until such time as it is able to deliver the Financial Assets and cash to a successor custodian, but X.X. Xxxxxx may take such steps as it reasonably determines to be necessary to protect itself following the effective time of termination, including ceasing to provide transaction settlement services in the event that X.X. Xxxxxx is unwilling to assume any related credit risk. X.X. Xxxxxx will in any event be entitled to deduct any amounts owing to it from the Cash Account prior to delivery of the Financial Assets and cash. In the event that insufficient funds are available in the Cash Account, the Customer agrees that X.X. Xxxxxx may, in such manner and, at such time or times as X.X. Xxxxxx in its sole discretion sees fit, liquidate any Financial Assets that X.X. Xxxxxx in its sole discretion may select, in the Securities Account in order to deduct such amount from the proceeds (and, accordingly, X.X. Xxxxxx will be entitled to sell Financial Assets and apply the sale proceeds in satisfaction of amounts owing to it). The Customer will reimburse X.X. Xxxxxx promptly for all out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in delivering Financial Assets upon termination. Termination will not affect any of the liabilities either party owes to the other arising under this Agreement prior to such termination.

Xxxxxx has not received any Instructions for at least one (1) year. The Customer shall be notified by X.X. Xxxxxx of such fee at its address last known to X.X. Xxxxxx, and X.X. Xxxxxx may automatically deduct such fee from the Cash Account. In the event that insufficient funds are available in the Cash Account, the Customer agrees that X.X. Xxxxxx may, in its sole discretion, liquidate any Financial Assets from the Securities Account in such manner and at such time or times as X.X. Xxxxxx deems appropriate in order to deduct the amount of the maintenance fee from the proceeds.

In addition, the Customer agrees that (i) X.X.
