ARTICLE X
OVERDRAFTS OR INDEBTEDNESS
40. If the Custodian should in its sole discretion advance funds
on behalf of a Fund which results in an overdraft because the moneys held by
the Custodian for the account of the Fund shall be insufficient to pay the
total amount payable upon a purchase of Securities as set forth in a
Certificate or Oral Instructions issued pursuant to Article IV, or which
results in an overdraft for some other reason, or if the Fund is, for any other
reason, indebted to the Custodian (except a borrowing for investment or for
temporary or emergency purposes using Securities as collateral pursuant to a
separate agreement and subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article
X), such overdraft or indebtedness shall be deemed to be a loan made by the
Custodian to the Fund payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date
incurred at a rate to be agreed upon from time to time by the Custodian and the
Fund. Any such overdraft or indebtedness shall be reduced by an amount equal
to the total of all amounts due the Fund which have not been collected by the
Custodian on behalf of the Fund when due because of the failure of the
Custodian to make timely demand or presentment for payment. In addition, the
Company on behalf of each Fund hereby agrees that the Custodian shall have a
continuing lien and security interest in and to any property at any time held
by it for the benefit of a Fund or in which the Fund may have an interest which
is then in the Custodian's possession or control or in possession or control of
any third party acting on the Custodian's behalf. Each Fund authorizes the
Custodian, in its sole discretion, at any time to charge any such overdraft or
indebtedness together with interest due thereon against any balance of account
standing to the Fund's credit on the Custodian's books.
41. Each Fund will cause to be delivered to the Custodian by any
bank (including, if the borrowing is pursuant to a separate agreement, the
Custodian) from which it borrows money for investment or for temporary or
emergency purposes using Securities as collateral for such borrowings, a notice
or undertaking in the form currently employed by any such bank setting forth
the amount which such bank will loan to the Fund against delivery of a stated
amount of collateral. A Fund shall promptly deliver to the Custodian a
Certificate specifying with respect to each such borrowing: (a) the name of
the bank; (b) the amount and terms of the borrowing, which may be set forth by
incorporating by reference an attached promissory note, duly endorsed by the
Fund, or other loan agreement; (c) the time and date, if known, on which the
loan is to be entered into; (d) the date on which the loan becomes due and
payable; (e) the total amount payable to the Fund on the borrowing date; (f)
the market value of Securities to be delivered as collateral for such loan,
including the name of the issuer, the title and the number of shares or the
principal of any particular Securities; and (g) a statement specifying whether
such loan is for investment purposes or for temporary or emergency purposes and
that such loan is in conformance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
the Fund's prospectus. The Custodian shall deliver on the borrowing date
specified in a Certificate the specified collateral and the executed promissory
note, if any, against delivery by the lending bank of the total amount of the
loan payable, provided that the same conforms to the total amounts payable as
set forth in the Certificate. The Custodian may, at the option of the lending
bank, keep such collateral in its possession, but such collateral shall be
subject to all rights therein given the lending bank by virtue of any
promissory note or loan agreement. The Custodian shall deliver such Securities
as additional collateral as may be specified in a Certificate to collateralize
further any transaction described in this paragraph. Each Fund shall cause all
Securities released from collateral status to be returned directly to the
Custodian, and the Custodian shall receive from time to time such return of
collateral as may be tendered to it. In the event that a Fund fails to specify
in a Certificate the name of the issuer, the title and number of shares or the
principal amount of any particular Securities to be delivered as collateral by
the Custodian, the Custodian shall not be under any obligation to deliver any
Securities.

of Incorporation and as disclosed in the Fund's most recent and currently
effective prospectus to lend its portfolio securities, within twenty-four (24)
hours after each loan of portfolio Securities the Fund shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Custodian a Certificate specifying with respect to each
such loan; (a) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities; (b) the
number of shares or the principal amount loaned; (c) the date of loan and
delivery; (d) the total amount to be delivered to the Custodian against the
loan of the Securities, including the amount of cash collateral and the
premium, if any, separately identified; and (e) the name of the broker, dealer
or financial institution to which the loan was made. The Custodian shall
deliver the Securities thus designated to the broker, dealer or financial
institution to which the loan was made upon receipt of the total amount
designated as to be delivered against the loan of Securities. The Custodian
may accept payment in connection with a delivery otherwise than through the
Book-Entry System or Depository only in the form of a certified or bank
cashier's check payable to the order of the fund or the Custodian drawn on New
York Clearing House funds and may deliver Securities in accordance with the
customs prevailing among dealers in securities.
43. Promptly after each termination of the loan of Securities by
a Fund, the Fund shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian a
Certificate specifying with respect to each such loan termination and return of
Securities: (a) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities to be
returned; (b) the number of shares or the principal amount to be returned; (c)
the date of termination; (d) the total amount to be delivered by the Custodian
(including the cash collateral for such Securities minus any offsetting credits
as described in said Certificate); and (e) the name of the broker, dealer or
financial institution from which the Securities will be returned. The
Custodian shall receive all Securities returned from the broker, dealer, or
financial institution to which such Securities were loaned and upon receipt
thereof shall pay, out of the moneys held for the account of the Fund, the
total amount payable upon such return of Securities as set forth in the
Certificate.

nominee shall be liable for any loss or damage, including attorney's fees,
resulting from its action or omission to act or otherwise, either hereunder or
under any Margin Account Agreement, except for any such loss or damage arising
out of its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Custodian may, with
respect to questions of law arising hereunder or under any Margin Account
Agreement, apply for and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to a Fund or
of its own counsel, at the expense of such Fund, and shall be fully protected
with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with
such advice or opinion. The Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for any loss
or damage resulting from the use of the Book-Entry System or any Depository
arising by reason of any negligence, misfeasance or willful misconduct on the
part of the Custodian or any of its employees or agents.
45. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Custodian shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable
for:
(a) The validity of the issue of any Securities purchased, sold
or written by or for a Fund, the legality of the purchase, sale or writing
thereof, or the propriety of the amount paid or received thereof;
(b) The legality of the issue or sale of any of a Fund's Shares,
or the sufficiency of the amount to be received therefor;
9
10
(c) The legality of the redemption of any of a Fund's Shares, or
the propriety of the amount to be paid therefor;
(d) The legality of the declaration or payment of any dividend by
a Fund;
(e) The legality of any borrowing by a Fund using Securities as
collateral;
(f) The legality of any loan of portfolio Securities pursuant to
Article XI of this Agreement, nor shall the Custodian be under any duty or
obligation to see to it that any cash collateral delivered to it by a broker,
dealer or financial institution or held by it at any time as a result of such
loan of portfolio Securities of a Fund is adequate collateral for such Fund
against any loss it might sustain as a result of such loan. The Custodian
specifically, but not by way of limitation, shall not be under any duty or
obligation periodically to check or notify a Fund that the amount of such cash
collateral held by it for the Fund is sufficient collateral for the Fund, but
such duty or obligation shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund. In
addition, the Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to see that any
broker, dealer or financial institution to which portfolio Securities of a Fund
are lent pursuant to Article XI of this Agreement makes payment to it of any
dividends or interest which are payable to or for the account of the Fund
during the period of such loan or at the termination of such loan, provided,
however, that the Custodian shall promptly notify the Fund in the event that
such dividends or interest are not paid and received when due; or
(g) The sufficiency or value of any amounts of money and/or
Securities held in any Margin Account, Segregated Security Account or
Collateral Account in connection with transactions by a Fund. In addition, the
Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to see that any broker, dealer,
or Clearing Member makes payment to a Fund of any variation margin payment or
similar payment which the Fund may be entitled to receive from such broker,
dealer, or Clearing Member, to see that any payment received by the Custodian
from any broker, dealer, or Clearing Member is the amount the Fund is entitled
to receive, or to notify the Fund of the Custodian's receipt or non-receipt of
any such payment; provided however that the Custodian, upon a Fund's written
request, shall as Custodian, demand from any broker, dealer, or Clearing Member
identified by the Fund the payment of any variation margin payment or similar
payment that the Fund asserts it is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms
of a Margin Account Agreement or otherwise from such broker, dealer, or
Clearing Member.
46. The Custodian shall not be liable for, or considered to be
the Custodian of, any money, whether or not represented by any check, draft or
other instrument for the payment of money, received by it on behalf of a Fund
until the Custodian actually receives and collects such money directly or by
the final crediting of the account representing the Fund's interest at the
Book-Entry System or the Depository.
47. The Custodian shall have no responsibility and shall not be
liable for ascertaining or acting upon any calls, conversions, exchanges,
offers, tenders, interest rate changes or similar matters relating to
Securities held in the Depository unless the Custodian shall have actually
received timely notice from the Depository. In no event shall the Custodian
have any responsibility or liability for the failure of the Depository to
collect, or for the late collection or late crediting by the Depository of any
amount payable upon Securities deposited in the Depository which may mature or
be redeemed, retired, called or otherwise become payable. However, upon
receipt of a Certificate from a Fund of an overdue amount on Securities held in
the Depository, the Custodian shall make a claim against the Depository on
behalf of the Fund, except that the Custodian shall not be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or proceeding in respect to
any Securities held by the Depository which in its opinion may involve it in
expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense
and liability be furnished as often as may be required.
48. The Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to
take action to effect collection of any amount due to a Fund from the Transfer
Agent of the Fund nor to take any action to effect payment or distribution by
the Transfer Agent of the Fund of any amount paid by the Custodian to the
Transfer Agent of the Fund in accordance with this Agreement.
10
11
49. The Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to
take action to effect collection of any amount, if the Securities upon which
such amount is payable are in default, or if payment is refused after due
demand or presentation, unless and until (i) it shall be directed to take such
action by a Certificate and (ii) it shall be assured to its satisfaction of
reimbursement of its costs and expenses in connection with any such action.
50. The Custodian may appoint one or more banking institutions as
Depository or Depositories or as sub- custodian(s), including, but not limited
to, banking institutions located in foreign countries, of Securities and moneys
at any time owned by a Fund, upon terms and conditions approved in a
Certificate, which shall, if requested by the Custodian, be accompanied by an
approving resolution of the Company's Board of Directors adopted in accordance
with Rule 17f-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
51. The Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to
ascertain whether any Securities at any time delivered to or held by it for the
account of a Fund are such as properly may be held by the Fund under the
provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation.
52. The Custodian shall not be entitled to compensation for
providing custody services to a Fund so long as the Custodian receives fees for
providing investment advisory services to the Fund or investment advisory or
custodial services to the series of another registered management investment
company in which the Fund invests all of its assets. If it no longer receives
compensation for providing such services, the Custodian shall be entitled to
such reasonable fees as it may from time to time negotiate with the Fund.
53. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any Certificate,
notice or other instrument in writing received by the Custodian and reasonably
believed by the Custodian to be a Certificate. The Custodian shall be entitled
to rely upon any Oral Instructions and any Written Instructions actually
received by the Custodian pursuant to Article IV or VII hereof. Each Fund
agrees to forward to the Custodian a Certificate or facsimile thereof,
confirming such Oral Instructions or Written Instructions in such manner so
that such Certificate or facsimile thereof is received by the Custodian,
whether by hand delivery, telex or otherwise, by the close of business of the
same day that such Oral Instructions or Written Instructions are given to the
Custodian. Each Fund agrees that the fact that such confirming instructions
are not received by the Custodian shall in no way affect the validity of the
transactions hereby authorized by the Fund. Each Fund agrees that the
Custodian shall incur no liability to the Fund in acting upon Oral Instructions
given to the Custodian hereunder concerning such transactions, provided such
instructions reasonably appear to have been received from an Authorized Person.
54. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any instrument,
instruction or notice received by the Custodian and reasonably believed by the
Custodian to be given in accordance with the terms and conditions of any Margin
Account Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Custodian shall be under no duty to inquire into, and shall not be liable for,
the accuracy of any statements or representations contained in any such
instrument or other notice including, without limitation, any specification of
any amount to be paid to a broker, dealer, or Clearing Member.
55. The books and records pertaining to each Fund which are in
the possession of the Custodian shall be the property of the Fund. Such books
and records shall be prepared and maintained as required by the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, and other applicable securities laws, rules
and regulations. Each Fund, or the Fund's authorized representative(s), shall
have access to such books and records during the Custodian's normal business
hours. Upon the reasonable request of a Fund, copies of any such books and
records shall be provided by the Custodian to the Fund or the Fund's authorized
representative(s) at the Fund's expense.
56. The Custodian shall provide the Company with any report
obtained by the Custodian on the system of internal accounting control of the
Book-Entry System or the Depository control as the Company may reasonably
request from time to time.
57. Each Fund agrees to indemnify the Custodian against and save
the Custodian harmless from all liability, claims, losses and demands
whatsoever, including attorney's fees, howsoever arising or incurred because of
or in connection with the Custodian's payment or non-payment of checks pursuant
to paragraph 6 of Article IX
11
12
as part of any check redemption privilege program of the Fund, except for any
such liability, claim, loss and demand arising out of the Custodian's own
negligence or willful misconduct.
58. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, the
Custodian may deliver and receive Securities, and receipts with respect to such
Securities, and arrange for payments to be made and received by the Custodian
in accordance with the customs prevailing from time to time among brokers or
dealers in such Securities.
59. The Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities
whatsoever except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement or Appendix E attached hereto, and no covenant or
obligation shall be implied in this Agreement against the Custodian.
ARTICLE XIII
TERMINATION
60. This Agreement shall continue until March 1, 1995, and
thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods ending on
the last day of March of each year, provided such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by (i) the Company's Directors or (ii) with respect
to a Fund, by vote of a majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940) of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, provided that in either
event its continuance also is approved by a majority of the Company's Directors
who are not "interested persons" (as defined in said Act) of any party to this
Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on such approval. This Agreement is terminable with respect to a Fund without
penalty, on sixty (60) days' notice, by the Company's Directors or, by vote of
holders of a majority of the Fund's Shares or, upon not less than ninety (90)
days' notice, by the Custodian. In the event such notice is given by a Fund,
it shall be accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Directors of the
Company on behalf of the Fund, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary, electing to terminate this Agreement and designating a successor
custodian or custodians, each of which shall be a bank or trust company having
not less than $2,000,000 aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits. In
the event such notice is given by the Custodian, the Fund shall, on or before
the termination date, deliver to the Custodian a copy of a resolution of the
Directors, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, designating a
successor custodian or custodians. In the absence of such designation by a
Fund, the Custodian may designate a successor custodian which shall be a bank
or trust company having not less than $2,000,000 aggregate capital, surplus and
undivided profits. Upon the date set forth in such notice, this Agreement
shall terminate and the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a notice of acceptance
by the successor custodian, on that date deliver directly to the successor
custodian all Securities and moneys then owned by a Fund and held by it as
Custodian, after deducting all fees, expenses, and other amounts for the
payment of reimbursement of which shall then be entitled.
61. If a successor custodian is not designated by the Company on
behalf of a Fund or the Custodian in accordance with the preceding paragraph,
the Fund shall, upon the date specified in the notice of termination of this
Agreement and upon the delivery by the Custodian of all Securities (other than
Securities held in the Book-Entry System which cannot be delivered to the Fund)
and moneys then owned by the Fund, be deemed to be its own custodian, and the
Custodian shall thereby be relieved of all duties and responsibilities pursuant
to this Agreement, other than the duty with respect to Securities held in the
Book-Entry System, in any Depository or by a Clearing Member which cannot be
delivered to the Fund, to hold such Securities hereunder in accordance with
this Agreement.
