accounts(s) upon the receipt of a payment order in compliance with the
selected security procedure (the "Security Procedure") chosen for funds
transfer and in the amount of money that the Bank has been instructed
to transfer. The Bank shall execute payment orders in compliance with
the Security Procedure and with the Fund instructions on the execution
date provided that such payment order is received by the customary
deadline for processing such request, unless the payment order
specifies a later time. All payment order and communications received
after this the customary deadline will be deemed to have been received
the next business day.
5.2 The Fund acknowledges that the Security Procedure it has designated on
the Fund Selection Form was selected by the Fund from security
procedures offered by the Bank. The Fund shall restrict access to
confidential information relating to the Security Procedure to
authorized persons as communicated to the Bank in writing. The Fund
must notify the Bank immediately if it has reason to believe
unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such information or of
any change in the Fund's authorized personnel. The Bank shall verify
the authenticity of all Fund instructions according to the Security
Procedure.
5.3 The Bank shall process all payment orders on the basis of the account
number contained in the payment order. In the event of a discrepancy
between any name indicated on the payment order and the account number,
the account number shall take procedure and govern.
5.4 The Bank reserves the right to decline to process or delay the
processing of a payment order which (a) is in excess of the collected
balance in the account to be charged at the time of the Bank's receipt
of such payment order: (b) if initiating such payment order would cause
the Bank, in the Bank's sole judgement, to exceed any volume, aggregate
dollar, network, time, credit or similar limits which are applicable to
the Bank: or (c) if the Bank, in good faith, is unable to satisfy
itself that the transaction has been properly authorized.
5.5 The Bank shall use reasonable efforts to act on all authorized requests
to cancel or amend payment orders received in compliance with the
Security Procedure provided that such requests are received in a timely
manner affording the bank reasonable opportunity to act. However, the
Bank assumes no liability if the request for amendment or cancellation
cannot be satisfied.
5.6 The Bank shall assume no responsibility for failure to detect any
erroneous payment order provided that the Bank complies with the
payment order instructions as received and the Bank complies with the
Security Procedure. The Security Procedure is established for the
5
purpose of authenticating payment orders only and not for the detection
of errors in payment orders.

to the refundable amount of any unauthorized payment order, unless the
Bank is notified of the unauthorized payment order with thirty (30)
days of notification by the Bank of the acceptance of such payment

until the Bank receives final settlement for such entry from the
Federal Reserve Bank. If the Bank does not receive such final
settlement, the Fund agrees that the Bank shall receive a refund of the
amount credited to the Fund in connection with such entry, and the
party making payment to the Fund via such entry shall not be deemed to

survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.

not operate in material compliance with the most recently issued user
documentation for such services, the Bank shall endeavor in a timely
manner to correct such failure. Organizations from which the Bank may

responsible for the contents of such data and the Fund agrees to make
no claim against the Bank arising out of the contents of such
third-party data, including, but not limited to, the accuracy thereof.
