fully protected in acting in reliance thereon.
SECTION 3. Receipt and Disbursement of Funds
A. The Custodian shall open and maintain a separate account or accounts in
the name of the Trust, subject only to draft or order by the Custodian acting

doing business in the United States and designated by the Custodian as its
sub-custodian or agent for this purpose), registered (if registrable) in the
name of the Trust or of the nominee of the Custodian referred to in Section 8 or
in proper form for transfer, or (ii) in the case of repurchase agreements
entered into between the Trust and the Custodian or other bank, upon delivery of
the receipt evidencing purchase by the Trust of securities owned by the
Custodian or other bank along with written evidence of the agreement by the

any time or times, appoint (and may at any time remove) any other bank or trust
company as its sub-custodian or agent to carry out such of the provisions of
Subsection A of this Section 3 as the Trust may from time to time request;
provided, however, that the appointment of such sub-custodian or agent shall not
relieve the Custodian of any of its responsibilities hereunder; and provided,
further, that the Trust will not request the appointment of any bank as
sub-custodian unless it meets the requirements of Section 26 of the Investment
Company Act.
C. The Custodian is hereby authorized to endorse and collect all checks,

request the appointment of any bank as sub-custodian unless it meets the
requirements of Section 26 of the Investment Company Act.

Trust from such bank; provided, however, that the Custodian may at the option of
such lending bank keep such collateral in its possession, subject to the rights
of such bank given to it by virtue of any promissory note or agreement executed
and delivered by the Trust to such bank, or (j) for other proper purposes of the

certified copy of a resolution of the Trustee's or of the Executive Committee
signed by an officer of the Trust and certified by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, specifying the securities to be delivered, setting forth the purpose
for which such delivery is to be made, declaring such purpose to be a proper
purpose of the Trust, and naming the persons or persons to whom delivery of such
securities shall be made. In respect of item (h), the officers' certificate

collateral in such amount.

SECTION 6. Federal Reserve Book-Entry System
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Custodian is authorized in the performance of its
duties hereunder to deposit in the book entry deposit system operated by the
Federal Reserve Banks (the "System"), United States government, instrumentality
and agency securities and any other securities deposited in the System
("Securities") and to use the facilities of the System, as permitted by
Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, in accordance with the
following terms and provisions:
(a) The Custodian may keep Securities of the Trust in the System
provided that such Securities are represented in an account ("Account") of
the Custodian's in the System which shall not include any assets of the
Custodian other than assets held in a fiduciary or custodian capacity.
(b) The records of the Custodian with respect to the Trust's
participation in the System through the Custodian shall identify by book
entry Securities belonging to the Trust which are included with other
securities deposited in the Account and shall at all times during the
regular business hours of the Custodian be open for inspection by duly
authorized officers, employees or agents of the Trust and employees and
agents of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
9
(c) The Custodian shall pay for securities purchased for the account
of the Trust upon: (i) receipt of advice from the System that such
Securities have been transferred to the Account; and (ii) the making of an
entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect such payment and transfer
for the account of the Trust. The Custodian shall transfer Securities sold
for the account of the Trust upon: (i) receipt of advice from the System
that payment for such securities has been transferred to the Account; and
(ii) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect
such transfer and payment for the account of the Trust. The Custodian
shall send the Trust a confirmation of any transfers to or from the
account of the Trust.
(d) The Custodian will provide the Trust with any report obtained by
the Custodian on the System's accounting system, internal accounting
control and procedures for safeguarding securities deposited in the
System. The Custodian will provide the Trust, at such times as the Trust
may reasonably require, with reports by independent public accountants on
the accounting system, internal accounting control and procedures for
safeguarding securities including Securities deposited in the System
relating to the services provided by the Custodian under this Agreement;
such reports shall detail material inadequacies disclosed by such
examination, and, if there are no such inadequacies, shall so state, and
shall be of such scope and in such detail as the Trust may reasonably
10
require and shall be of sufficient scope to provide reasonable assurance
that any material inadequacies would be disclosed.
SECTION 7. Custodian's Acts Without Instructions
Unless and until the Custodian receives an officers' certificate to the
contrary, the Custodian shall:
(a) Present for payment all coupons and other income items held by it for
the account of the Trust which call for payment upon presentation and hold the
funds received by it upon such payment for the account of the Trust: (b) collect
interest and cash dividends received, with notice to the Trust, for the account
of the Trust; (c) hold for the account of the Trust hereunder all stock
dividends, rights and similar securities issued with respect to any securities
held by it hereunder; (d) execute as agent on behalf of the Trust all necessary
ownership certificates required by the Internal Revenue Code or the Income Tax
Regulations of the United States Treasury Department or under the laws of any
State now or hereafter in effect, inserting the Trust's name on such
certificates as the owner of the securities covered thereby, to the extent it
may lawfully do so; (e) transmit promptly to the Trust all reports, notices and
other written information received by the Custodian from or concerning issuers
of the Trust's portfolio securities; and (f) collect from the borrower the
securities loaned and delivered by the Custodian pursuant to item (h) of Section
5 hereof, (i) any interest or
11
cash dividends paid on such securities, and (ii) all stock dividends, rights and
similar securities issued with respect to any such loaned securities.
With respect to securities of foreign issue, it is expected that the
Custodian will use its best efforts to effect collection of dividends, interest
and other income, and to notify the Trust of any call for redemption, offer of
exchange, right of subscription, reorganization, or other proceedings affecting
such securities, or any default in payments due thereon. It is understood,
however, that the Custodian shall be under no responsibility for any failure or
delay in effecting such collections or giving such notice with respect to
securities of foreign issue, regardless of whether or not the relevant
information is published in any financial service available to it unless such
failure or delay is due to its negligence; however, this sentence shall not be
construed as creating any such responsibility with respect to securities of
non-foreign issue, other than such responsibility as may be part of the general
responsibility of the Custodian as stated in this Section 7. Collections of
income in foreign currency are, to the extent possible to be converted into
United States dollars unless otherwise instructed in writing, and in effecting
such conversion the Custodian may use such methods or agencies as it may see
fit, including the facilities of its own foreign division at customary rates.
All risk and expenses incident to such collection and conversion is for the
account
12
of the Trust and the Custodian shall have no responsibility for fluctuations
in exchange rates affecting any such conversion.
SECTION 8. Registration of Securities
Except as otherwise directed by an officers' certificate, the Custodian
shall register all securities, except such as are in bearer form, in the name of
a registered nominee of the Custodian as defined in the Internal Revenue Code
and any Regulation of the Treasury Department issued thereunder or in any
provision of any subsequent Federal tax law exempting such transaction from
liability for stock transfer taxes, and shall execute and deliver all such
certificates in connection therewith as may be required by such laws or
Regulations or under the laws of any State. The Custodian shall use its best
efforts to the end that the specific securities held by it hereunder shall be at
all times identifiable in its records.
The Trust shall from time to time furnish to the Custodian appropriate
instruments to enable the Custodian to hold or deliver in proper form for
transfer, or to register in the name of its registered nominee, any securities
which it may hold for the account of the Trust and which may from time to time
be registered in the name of the Trust.
SECTION 9. Voting and Other Action
Neither the Custodian nor any nominee of the Custodian shall vote any of
the securities held hereunder by or for the account of the Trust, except in
accordance with the instructions contained in an officers' certificate. The
13
Custodian shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to
the Trust all notices, proxies and proxy soliciting materials with relation to
such securities (excluding any securities loaned and delivered by the Custodian
pursuant to item (h) of Section 5 hereof), such proxies to be executed by the
registered holder of such securities (if registered otherwise than in the name
of the Trust), but without indicating the manner in which such proxies are to be
voted.

other necessary and proper disbursements and expenses made or incurred by the

with securities delivered to it or by it under this Agreement as may be required
