    with the following new subsection 7:



         7)   Upon the sale of such securities for the account of
         the Fund, to the broker or its clearing agent, against a
         receipt, for examination in accordance with "street
         delivery" custom; the Custodian shall have no
         responsibility or liability for any loss arising from
         the delivery of such securities prior to receiving
         payment for such securities except as may arise from the
         Custodian's own negligence or willful misconduct;
