1. Pledge of Collateral. The Depository hereby pledges and grants for the benefit of
the Treasurer, a continuing security interest in and assigns and pledges acceptable
securities as pledged Collateral to and held by the Custodian to secure uninsured
deposits of public funds held in the Depository pursuant to NRS chapter 356 and
NAC chapter 356 under this Agreement. Custodian agrees to accept and retain all
Collateral deposited with it by the Depository in the form in which it is received,
subject to withdrawal or other disposition on written instructions of the Treasurer or
his designated deputy as may be designated by the Treasurer in writing from time to
time. The Depository shall be entitled to income on any and all interest, dividends,
distributions and sums distributed or payable from such Collateral, and all proceeds
and profits of any of said Collateral, unless Custodian has received prior notice from
the Treasurer that the depository has failed to pay any part of any public deposit on
demand of the Treasurer; in which event, all such income shall then be credited in
accordance with the Treasurer’s written instructions to the Custodian.
2. Appointment and Duties of Bailee/Custodian. The Depository hereby appoints a
Custodian, and the Custodian agrees to act, as the Depository’s bailee and custodian
of the Collateral to be pledged pursuant NRS Chapter 356. The Custodian is acting
as a bailee for hire and as such shall operate hereunder with reasonable care. The
Custodian shall not be liable for loss or damage, including attorney’s fees, resulting
from its actions or omissions to act or otherwise, except for any such loss or damages
arising out of its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Custodian shall have no
obligation hereunder for costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, or claims, including
attorney’s fees, which are sustained or incurred by reason of any action or inaction by
the Federal Reserve Book-Entry System, any clearing corporation or their successors
or nominees. In no event shall the Custodian be liable to the Depository, the
Treasurer, or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages. The
Custodian shall not have any additional duties other than those expressly provided in
this Agreement and expressly stated in NRS chapter 356 and NAC chapter 356.
3. Indemnification of Custodian. The Depository agrees to indemnify the Custodian
and to hold it harmless against any and all direct costs, expenses, damages, liabilities
or claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, which the Custodian
may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against the Custodian by reason of or
as a result of any action taken or omitted by the Custodian in connection with
operating under this Agreement, except those costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or
claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Custodian and Depository.
4. Location of Collateral. The Depository agrees to deliver and place the Collateral
with the Custodian reflecting the name of the Treasurer as the secured party. The
Custodian agrees to acknowledge the receipt of the pledged Collateral and shall
segregate such pledged Collateral from other collateral, if any, held by it for the
account of the Depository. The Custodian shall not be responsible for determining
the validity of the Collateral pledged as collateral from the Depository.
