purpose or in the event that the Custodian or its nominee shall incur or
be assessed any taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or
liabilities in connection with the performance of this Contract, except
such as may arise from its or its nominee's own negligent action,
negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, any property at any time
held for the account of the Fund shall be security therefor and should the
Fund fail to repay the Custodian promptly, the Custodian shall be entitled
to utilize available cash and to dispose of Fund assets to the extent
necessary to obtain reimbursement; provided, however, that (a) such
reimbursement shall only occur after written demand has been made upon the
Fund, and (b) the amount of each reimbursement shall not exceed any
applicable investment restriction of the Fund in effect at the time of
reimbursement, including the Fund's ability to pledge its assets (such
pledges currently being limited to one-third of the Fund's total assets).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Amendment to be
executed in its name and on its behalf by a duly authorized officer as of the
day and year first above written.
