Section 3.1. Delivery of Investments and Moneys. The Administrator will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian all moneys owned by the Trust, including cash received for the allocation and issuance of each series of Units and for the purchase of Permitted Investments through the Fixed Terms Automated Investment Program, at any time during the term of this Agreement.

The Custodian shall maintain records of all receipts, deliveries and locations of such investment instruments, together with a current inventory thereof. The Custodian shall conduct periodic inventory inspections (including sampling counts) of certificates representing bonds and other investment instruments held by it under this Agreement in such manner as the Custodian shall determine from time to time to be advisable in order to verify the accuracy of such inventory. With respect to investment instruments held by any sub-custodian, the Custodian may rely upon certificates, representations and account statements from such agent; provided, however, that if the Custodian utilizes a sub-custodian or other agent to perform any services in connection with this Agreement the Custodian shall be

responsible for the acts or omissions of any sub-custodians or other agent used as though the acts and omissions of any sub-custodian or agent were the acts and omissions of the Custodian.

Custodian shall cause any assets of the Trust to be registered in, or transferred into, the Custodian's name or the name of a nominee or nominees, including but not limited to that of the Custodian, a clearing corporation, or a depository, or in book entry form, or to cause any such asset to be retained unregistered or in a form permitting transfer by delivery, provided that the books and records of the Custodian shall at all times show that such assets of each series of Units and assets held for Participants in the Fixed Term Automated Investment Program are a part of the Trust; and the Custodian shall cause any such asset, or the evidence thereof, to be held by the Custodian, in a depository, in a clearing corporation, in book entry form, or by any other entity or in any other manner permitted by law. The Trust agrees to 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 nominee, any investment instruments 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.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Custodian is authorized in the performance of its duties hereunder to use the facilities of the Federal Reserve Bank as a securities depository pursuant to the Federal Reserve Book Entry Deposit System for eligible investment instruments held in the portfolio of each series of units and for the account of Participants in the Fixed Term Automated Investment

Program of the Trust. Without limiting the generality of such use, it is agreed that the following provisions shall apply thereto:

(1)

Safekeeping. Investment instruments and any cash of the Trust deposited in the system will at all times be segregated from any assets and cash controlled by the Custodian in other than a fiduciary or custodian capacity. The Custodian will pay out money only upon the receipt of investment instruments and will deliver investment instruments only upon the receipt of money, this practice being commonly known as "delivery versus payment".

(2)

Indemnification. The Custodian is liable to the Trust with respect to investment instruments and cash to which the Trust is entitled, held or received in the Federal Reserve Bank Book Entry System as agent for the Custodian.

(3)

Access to Information. All books and records maintained by the Custodian which relate to the Trust's participation in the system will at all times during regular business hours be open to the inspection of the Trust's duly authorized employees or agents, and the Trust will be furnished with all the information in respect of the services rendered to it as it may require.

Section 3.4. Certain Custody Limitations. All investment instruments and moneys delivered to the Custodian shall be held or disposed of by the Custodian for the Trust pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Custodian shall have no power or authority to assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any such investment instruments, except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the written directions of the Trust and only for the account of the Trust as set forth in this Agreement. The Trust's claim to such investment instruments and moneys shall be based on a right of possession in specific property and not as a general creditor of the Custodian.

Section 3.5. Certain Duties Regarding Investment Instruments. Unless otherwise specifically instructed to the contrary by a certificate of the Trust delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trust, the Custodian shall, with respect to all investment instruments and moneys held by it for the Trust:

(b) Promptly present for payment and collect the amount payable upon all investment instruments which may mature or be called, redeemed, or retired, or otherwise become payable;

(c) Execute, as Custodian, any necessary declarations or certificates of ownership under the federal income tax laws or the laws or regulations of any other taxing authority now or hereafter in effect; and

Section 3.7. Monthly Reports. The Custodian shall prepare and furnish to the Administrator, the Advisor, and the Trust no later than the fifteenth (15th) Iowa banking day of

each month: (i) a list of the Trust assets in its custody as of the last day of the preceding month, and (ii) a statement of the Trust's transactions during the preceding month.

Section 3.8. Annual Report. The Custodian annually shall provide the Trust with the annual audited financial statements of its parent corporation, Xxxxx Fargo & Company and related report on the internal control structure, together with the report of the independent auditors with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Custodian does not have an annual audit or internal control report prepared specifically for its operations, the Custodian may provide copies of the audited financial statements and report of independent auditors with respect thereto for Xxxxx Fargo & Company and the report on internal control structure for trust operations prepared for Xxxxx Fargo Bank in satisfaction of this Section 3.8.

Section 3.9. Access to Information. All records of investment transactions, documentation, orders or reports (whether in written or machine readable form) relating to this Agreement and the services provided hereunder, regardless of who performed the services, shall be considered records of the Trust, its employees and its designees. To the extent records are maintained by others, the Custodian shall obtain from the other person an identical right to examination and inspection of the records and to obtain the information and records upon request of the Trust and to enforce its rights in order to obtain any records held by another person. The Custodian shall make all such records available upon the responsible request for inspection and audit by the Trust, its employees or designees, and shall allow these records or excerpts of these records to be copied and removed to facilitate the audit or to comply with public records requirements.

Section 3.10. Other Reports. The Custodian shall advise the Trust in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

(i)

Receipt by the Custodian of a communication from an independent auditor or the Auditor of State or any regulatory authority of the existence of a material weakness in the internal control structure of Custodian or regulatory orders or sanctions against the Custodian with regard to the type of services being performed under this Agreement;

Receipt by the Custodian of notice of a downgrading in the rating given by a national rating service to any outstanding debt security of Custodian or its parent corporation; or

To facilitate the performance of its obligations under this paragraph, the Custodian shall establish and maintain internal communications policies and procedures sufficient in scope and practice to ensure that the Custodian is properly and timely informed of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events. In providing the foregoing information, however, the Custodian does not concede that it is serving under this Agreement as an "investment entity" or "investment professional" within the meaning of Iowa Code section 11.2.
