identified in the books and records of the Custodian as being held on behalf of, or registered in the name of, the Partnership by that subcustodian; and

(b)

maintained and clearly recorded by the subcustodian in an account holding only prope1iy for customers of the Custodian, and shall be transferred or dealt with by the subcustodian only on the instructions of the Custodian.

Subject to Section 6.5 and Section 6.8 below, if the Paiinership suffers a loss as a result of any act or omission of a subcustodian or its nominee, or of any other Agent appointed by the Custodian (rather than appointed by the Manager) and if such loss is directly attributable to the failure of such subcustodian or its nominee or such other Agent appointed by the Custodian to use reasonable care (whether by reason of negligence, wilful misconduct or lack of good faith) in the provision of any service to be provided by it under this Agreement, then the Custodian shall assume liability for such loss directly, and shall reimburse the Partnership accordingly. Other than as stated above, the Custodian shall be fully protected and absolved from liability howsoever arising from any acts or omissions of subcustodians or their nominees, or other Agents appointed by the Custodian or appointed by the Manager.

In order to provide services to the Manager for, and on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, the Custodian may be required to engage subcustodians in certain markets that have been identified as being high risk and have been designated as "Designated Markets" in Schedule "A" to this Agreement. A Designated Market is a market where the risks of engaging a subcustodian or Agent are significantly greater than they would be in more established markets. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, where the Custodian is providing custodial services in Designated Markets (whether directly or through a subcustodian) in respect of an Account, the Custodian may not be able to accept some of the liabilities for the acts of its subcustodians and Agents which are otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. Where the Custodian engages a subcustodian or Agent in a Designated Market, the Manager acknowledges and agrees that any negligence, wilful misconduct, or lack of good faith of a subcustodian or Agent will not constitute a breach of the standard of care or negligence of the Custodian for purposes of this Agreement. However, for greater certainty, nothing is intended to limit the responsibility of the Custodian under this Agreement for the selection and ongoing monitoring of its Agents and subcustodians. As necessary from time to time, the Custodian will advise the Manager through written notice of any additions or deletions to Schedule "A" and any such additional market shall be deemed to be a Designated Market for all purposes of this Agreement sixty (60) days following such notification. The Manager also acknowledges that the Manager and/or other managers of or advisors to the Partnership are responsible for apprising themselves of the specific risks to the Partnership involved in the investment and reinvestment of the Partnership's Property in all markets in which such's Property is located from time to time.

It is acknowledged, understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Security Interest secures the due payment and performance of any and all Obligations from time to time outstanding, whenever and however arising, regardless of the capacity in which the Custodian was acting (whether as principal, agent or custodian) when such Obligations arose or the agreement under which such Obligations were incurred. The Manager and the Custodian agree that it is their intention that the Security Interests hereby created shall attach immediately to any Property in which the Patinership has any interest on the date hereof, and, with respect to after-acquired Property, forthwith at the time the Partnership acquires an interest therein, all in accordance with the terms hereof.
