In any event, Buyer and Seller shall remain obligated to each other pursuant to the original terms of each Transaction.
D. Simultaneous Transaction. Buyer and Seller agree that in effecting Transactions transfers between Buyer’s Account and Seller’s Account are intended to be, and shall be deemed to be, simultaneous.
E. Ownership of Securities. (i) Upon the transfer of cash to Seller’s Account and the transfer of Eligible Securities to Buyer’s Account, it is agreed by Seller and Buyer that, subject to Seller’s right of substitution and notwithstanding the credit of Income to Seller’s Account, the Purchased Securities shall be for all purposes the property of Custodian on behalf of Buyer(s). Buyer(s) agree, however, that, subject to Paragraph 8 hereof and Paragraph 11 of the Master Repurchase Agreement, Buyer(s) will resell to Seller on the Repurchase Date the relevant Purchased Securities at the Repurchase Price
(ii) Buyer, Custodian, Seller and Subcustodian agree that all Purchased Securities and cash held in a Buyer’s Account from time to time will be held by Subcustodian in the name of Custodian for the benefit of Buyer, that Subcustodian will take such actions with respect to Buyer’s Account and any Purchased Securities and cash therein as Custodian or Buyer shall direct, and that in no event shall any consent of Seller be required for the taking of any such action by Subcustodian. Buyer hereby covenants that Buyer will not instruct Subcustodian to deliver any Securities to any person other than Seller until an Event of Default has occurred as to which Seller is the defaulting party. The foregoing covenant is for Seller’s benefit only and shall not constitute a limitation on any Buyer’s or Custodian’s right at any time to instruct Subcustodian and Subcustodian’s obligation to act upon such instructions. Subcustodian shall not be liable for any Losses (as defined in paragraph 9A) incurred or sustained by Buyer, Custodian, or Seller or any third party as a result of Subcustodian transferring any Purchased Securities or cash in a Buyer’s Account pursuant to Buyer’s or Custodian’s instructions (whether or not subsequent to receipt of a Notice of Default) and shall have no further obligation or responsibility to Custodian, Seller or Buyer under this Subcustodial Undertaking with respect to any Purchased Securities or cash transferred from a Buyer’s Account.
(iii) Any instruction from a Buyer, or from Custodian on behalf of a Buyer, to Subcustodian to transfer Purchased Securities or cash from a Buyer’s Account during the term of a Transaction shall be set forth in a written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix I. Such notice shall be delivered as provided in Paragraph 11.K. and shall send Seller a copy of same. Subcustodian shall, as promptly as practicable under the circumstances, act in accordance with such instructions; it being understood and agreed that Subcustodian shall have no liability for its inability to comply with such instructions if the rules or systems of the Book-Entry System and/or applicable Clearing Corporation prevent Subcustodian from transferring Purchased Securities from a Buyer’s Account. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Subcustodian all applicable fees, costs and charges associated with such transfer from Buyer’s Account.
F. No Lien or Pledge by Subcustodian. Subcustodian agrees that Purchased Securities shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right of setoff by Subcustodian or any third party claiming through Subcustodian and Subcustodian shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party an interest in, any Purchased Securities.

All Additional Eligible Securities transferred to Buyer's Account shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.

On the Repurchase Date for any Transaction, subject to Paragraph 8 hereof and Paragraph 11 of the Master Repurchase Agreement, Buyer hereby irrevocably instructs Subcustodian to tender to Seller the Purchased Securities with respect to such Transaction and to transfer such Purchased Securities from Buyer’s Account to Seller’s Account. On the Repurchase Date for an open Transaction, Buyer or Seller will inform the other party by 10:00 a.m. that it intends to terminate such open Transaction and promptly provide Subcustodian with Oral or Written Instructions. Seller hereby irrevocably instructs Subcustodian at the time Purchased Securities are transferred to Seller’s Account to make payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price by debiting cash from Seller’s Account and crediting cash to Buyer’s Account. If on the Repurchase Date Seller’s Account does not contain sufficient cash available to repurchase
all Purchased Securities with respect to any Transactions, Subcustodian shall notify Seller and Buyer and Seller shall give Subcustodian Oral or Written Instructions identifying which Purchased Securities, if any, are to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price.
8. | DEFAULT |

In addition, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12 of the Master Repurchase Agreement shall be fully effective with respect to all Transactions entered into between them, irrespective of whether such Transactions are entered into in connection with this Subcustodial Undertaking, directly between Buyer and Seller or otherwise.

(iii) The due authority of Buyer, Seller or any entities for which Buyer acts to purchase, sell or hold any particular Security hereunder.
D. Securities in Default. Subcustodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to take action to effect collection of any amount if the Securities upon which such amount is payable are in default, or if payment is refused after due demand or presentation, unless and until (i) it shall be directed to take such action by Written Instructions and (ii) it shall be assured to its satisfaction of reimbursement of its costs and expenses in connection with any such action.
E. Subcustodian Fee. Subcustodian shall be entitled to receive and Seller agrees to pay to Subcustodian such compensation as may be agreed upon from time to time between Subcustodian and Seller and Subcustodian’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
F. Reliance on Oral/Written Instructions. Subcustodian shall be entitled to rely upon any Written Instruction or Oral Instruction received by Subcustodian and reasonably believed by Subcustodian to be delivered by an Authorized Person. Buyer, Custodian, and Seller agree to forward to Subcustodian Written Instructions confirming any and all Oral Instructions in such manner that such Written Instructions are received by Subcustodian by the close of business of the same day that such Oral Instructions are given to Subcustodian. Buyer, Custodian and Seller agree that the fact that such confirming Written Instructions are not received or that contrary Written Instructions are received by Subcustodian shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the transactions previously authorized and effected by Subcustodian. Custodian shall give instructions under this Subcustodial Undertaking only upon receipt of Proper Instructions (as defined in the Custodian Contract) from a Buyer.
G. Reliance on Pricing Services. Subcustodian is authorized to utilize any generally recognized pricing information service (including brokers and dealers of Securities) in order to perform its valuation responsibilities hereunder, and Seller and Buyer agree to hold Subcustodian harmless from and against any Losses incurred as a result of errors or omissions of any such pricing information service, broker or dealer, unless such Losses were incurred as a result of the negligence, bad faith and/or willful misconduct of Subcustodian.
H. Force Majeure. To the extent not caused by Subcustodian’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, Subcustodian and Custodian shall not be responsible or liable to each other or to Seller or Buyer for any failure or delay in the performance of their respective obligations under this Subcustodial Undertaking arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods, wars, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, epidemics, riots, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority, or governmental, judicial or regulatory actions; provided however, that Subcustodian and/or Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.
I. No Additional Duties. Subcustodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Subcustodial Undertaking, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied in this Subcustodial Undertaking against Subcustodian.
J. No Duty Regarding Derivatives. If Buyer and Seller have selected Eligible Securities which derive all or a portion of their value from changes in the value of underlying securities, mortgages or other obligations, or one or more currencies, commodities, indices or other factors (hereinafter referred to as “Derivative Securities”), the parties understand that Subcustodian shall have no obligation to monitor whether any such Eligible Securities are also Derivative Securities. Accordingly, the parties agree that anything in the Subcustodial Undertaking to the contrary notwithstanding, it shall be Buyer’s and Seller’s responsibility to ensure that Eligible Securities do not include Derivative Securities unless they have otherwise agreed. Subcustodian shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage or expense arising out of the ineligibility of Derivative Securities which are the subject of Transactions pursuant to the Subcustodial Undertaking.
10. | TERMINATION |
Any of the parties hereto may terminate this Subcustodial Undertaking by giving to the other parties a notice in writing specifying the date of such termination, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days after the date of giving of such notice. Upon termination hereof, Seller shall pay to Subcustodian such compensation as may be due to Subcustodian as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse Subcustodian for any disbursements and expenses made or incurred by Subcustodian and payable or reimbursable hereunder. If Buyer and Seller do not provide Written Instructions prior to the termination date, Subcustodian shall transfer Securities and cash held in Buyer’s Account to Custodian.
11. | MISCELLANEOUS |
A. Authorized Persons. Buyer and Seller each agrees to furnish to Subcustodian a new Schedule II in the event that any Authorized Person ceases to be an Authorized Person or in the event that other or additional Authorized Persons are appointed and authorized. Until such new Schedule II is received, Subcustodian shall be fully protected in acting under the provisions of this Subcustodial Undertaking upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions from a person reasonably believed to be an Authorized Person as set forth in the last delivered Schedule III. Subcustodian shall not accept any instructions or other notices on behalf of a Buyer or Custodian unless such instruction is from an Authorized Person.
B. Access to Books and Records. Upon reasonable request, Buyer (or Custodian at Buyer’s request) and Seller shall have access to Subcustodian’s books and records maintained in connection with this Subcustodial Undertaking during Subcustodian’s normal business hours. Upon reasonable request, copies of any such books and records shall be provided to Buyer or Seller at its expense.
C. Invalidity of any Provision. In case any provision in or obligation under this Subcustodial Undertaking shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.
D. Parties, Entire Agreement, Amendments.

(iii) Applicability of Agreements. The rights and obligations as between the Custodian and each Buyer relating to the Transactions contemplated by this Subcustodial Undertaking shall be governed by this Subcustodial Undertaking, but as to all other matters between Custodian and each Buyer, shall be governed by the Custodian Contract.
E. Binding Agreement. This Subcustodial Undertaking shall extend to and shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Subcustodial Undertaking shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other parties.
F. Applicable Law/Jurisdiction. This Subcustodial Undertaking shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of a state or federal court situated in New York City, New York in connection with any dispute arising hereunder. Each party hereto hereby waives trial by jury in any proceeding involving, directly or indirectly, any matter in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with, this Subcustodial Undertaking.

To the extent that in any jurisdiction any party may now or hereafter be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process, each party irrevocably agrees not to claim, and it hereby waives, such immunity in connection with this Subcustodial Undertaking.
H. Headings and References. The headings and captions in this Subcustodial Undertaking are for reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.
I. Counterparts. This Subcustodial Undertaking may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute only one instrument.
J. Inconsistency with Master Repurchase Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and this Subcustodial Undertaking with respect to the rights, duties or obligations of Subcustodian and Transactions subject to this Subcustodial Undertaking, the terms and conditions of this Subcustodial Undertaking shall govern.
K. Notices. Any notice authorized or required by this Subcustodial Undertaking shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the receiving party and hand delivered or sent by mail, telex, facsimile to the individuals at addresses specified in Schedule IV or to such other person or persons as the receiving party may from time to time designate in writing. Such notice shall be effective upon receipt.
L. Confidentiality. The parties hereto agree not to disclose to any other party and to keep confidential the terms and conditions of this Subcustodial Undertaking (including fee arrangements) and any amendment, supplement or Schedule hereto. In the event that any party hereto breaches any provision of this section, any other party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party without the necessity of proving actual damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subcustodian may disclose Buyer’s or Seller’s name, address, securities position and other information to such persons and to such extent as required by law, the rules of any stock exchange or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or any order or decree of any court or administrative body that is binding on Subcustodian or any Clearing Corporation or the terms of the organizational documents of the issuer of any Security or the terms of any Security itself.
M. Principals Separate and Distinct. The parties hereto acknowledge that the assets and liabilities of each entity listed on Schedule A are separate and distinct. The parties hereto also agree that the obligations of each
entity listed on Schedule A shall be several and not joint and the parties hereto agree not to proceed against any entity listed on Schedule A for the obligations of another entity listed on Schedule A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Subcustodial Undertaking to the contrary, each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate Transaction with the Seller and the Buyer identified in the Oral or Written Instructions delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 4A(iii) hereof, and if there is more than one Buyer so identified, the obligations of each such Buyer hereunder shall be several and not joint.
N. Limitation of Buyer’s Liability. Each Fund is entering into this Subcustodial Undertaking on behalf of its separate portfolios, each of which shall be deemed a Buyer, with respect of any particular Transaction hereunder, provided that, the name of the Buyer is identified in the Oral or Written Instructions received by Subcustodian in connection with that Transaction. Accordingly, Seller and Subcustodian agree that they shall look only to the assets of the individual portfolio which acted as Buyer and whose assets were invested in connection with a particular Transaction for enforcement of any claims arising in connection with such Transaction.
O. Limitation of Shareholder Liability. For any Transaction involving a Fund organized as a common law or business trust (or a series thereof) where the trustees, officers, employees or interestholders of such common law or business trust (or series thereof) could potentially be held personally liable for its obligations, Seller and Subcustodian acknowledge and agree that, to the extent such trustees or interestholders could potentially be regarded as entering into the Subcustodial Undertaking, they do so only as trustees or interestholders, as the case may be, and not individually and that the obligations of the Subcustodial Undertaking are not binding upon any such
trustee, officer, employee or interestholder individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of said Fund. Seller hereby agrees that such trustees, officers, employees or interestholders shall not be personally liable under the Subcustodial Undertaking and that Seller and Subcustodian shall look solely to the property of the Fund for the performance of the Subcustodial Undertaking.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Subcustodial Undertaking to be executed by their respective corporate officers, thereunto duly authorized, as of the 30th day of January, 2003.
