It shall be Agent’s duty to value and xxxx to market on a daily basis all Securities subject to Loan and all pledged Collateral received pursuant to each Borrowing Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Securities Lending Agency Agreement (including provisions specifying that Agent may rely upon third parties as a source for valuation) and, where applicable, request the Borrower to deliver sufficient Additional Collateral to satisfy the applicable margin requirement. Pursuant to each Borrowing Agreement, Agent shall claim the Borrowers for all Distributions, cash and non-cash, payable on Securities subject to Loan and cause the same to be deposited or otherwise credited for the benefit of Lender.

3
(a) Distributions, Voting Rights. Lender hereby acknowledges that during the term of any Loan: (i) Securities on Loan shall be transferred into the name of and may be voted by the Borrower thereof or others, and therefore Bank shall not be able to act on Instructions in respect of, and shall have no responsibility in connection with, the exercise of voting rights in respect of such Securities; provided, however, that certain consents including those that involve payments in consideration for the security holder’s consent are treated as corporate actions rather than proxy events for which the Bank shall provide services pursuant to Appendix 1.
(b) AutoCredit. Bank shall only credit Cash and Non-Cash Distributions upon actual receipt thereof by Bank.
Section 5 – Liabilities
(a) Default by Borrower. Bank shall have no responsibility or liability to Lender or Agent for any breach of any obligation by any Borrower under or in connection with any Borrowing Agreement relating to such borrowing or in any other way in respect of any Loan except to the extent the breach by Borrower is the direct result of or is directly caused by the failure to exercise reasonable care, bad faith, negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Bank. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall have no responsibility or liability in respect of any failure by a Borrower to perform its obligation to return any Security on Loan, to post initial Collateral or Additional Collateral for any Loan, or to make any payment in respect of any Distribution on Securities on Loan or with respect to any sale fail if compensation is owed by Lender on account of a failure by a Borrower (or Agent) to return securities in a timely manner; except to the extent the failure by the Borrower (or Agent) is the direct result of or is directly caused by the negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Bank.
(b) General Liability. Bank shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims (including legal and accountants' fees) (“Losses”) incurred by Lender or Agent, except those Losses arising out of the negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of Bank in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall have no obligation hereunder for (i) Losses which are sustained or incurred by reason of any action or inaction by Agent or any Depository or their respective successors or nominees or (ii) any failure to perform any obligation due to any matters beyond Bank’s reasonable control; provided that, where such failure to perform is on account of the malfunction or failure of equipment or software under the control of Bank and such malfunction or failure is primarily attributable to Bank’s negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct in maintaining the same, Bank shall not be excused. Provided that it acts in good faith, Bank shall be entitled to rely (in conformity with Section 9 hereof) on Instructions, or upon any information whether provided by Agent or Lender, reasonably believed by Bank to be genuine or bearing the signature of a person or persons reasonably believed to be authorized to sign, countersign or execute the same. Bank shall not be liable for any Losses incurred by Lender or Agent arising from such reliance and, provided that the manner in which Bank carried out such Instructions did not constitute negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct, Bank shall be indemnified and held harmless by Lender, if Lender issued the Instructions, or Agent, if Agent issued the Instructions, against any Losses Bank incurs in relying and acting upon Instructions. In no event shall Bank have any liability to Lender or Agent of any kind whatsoever under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise unless and to the extent such liability is the direct result or is directly caused by Bank’s negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct under this Agreement. In no event shall Bank be liable to any other party hereto for indirect or consequential damages or lost profits or loss of business, arising hereunder or in connection herewith, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.
4
(c) Depositories. Lender and Agent acknowledge that in relation to any Services which involve a Depository, Bank shall provide the relevant Services subject to the rules and requirements of all such Depositories. In particular, Lender and Agent acknowledge that a Depository may, under its terms of participation or otherwise, be entitled to vary its terms, suspend its systems, or vary its system timetable, and that Bank is entitled, by written notice to Lender, to vary this Agreement in such manner as Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to reflect any alteration or variation or suspension of the relevant Depository, or any law, regulation, regulatory requirement, order or direction which may affect the Depository (any such variation being a “System Variation”). Bank shall use reasonable efforts to consult with Lender and Agent prior to implementation of any System Variation. Bank shall not be liable under or in connection with compliance with any rules or requirements of a Depository unless such System Variation was designed or implemented by Bank with bad faith, fraud, negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care or willful misconduct.
Section 6 - Indemnification
(a) Except for ordinary and customary operating expenses incurred by Bank in providing Services hereunder, Lender shall indemnify Bank and hold it harmless from and against any and all Losses which Bank may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against Bank by reason of or as a result of any action taken or omitted by Bank in connection with operating under this Agreement, other than those Losses arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care, negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of Bank or failure of Bank to exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in carrying out its duties and obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, that Bank shall not settle any claims brought by third parties that would be covered by Lender’s indemnity obligations hereunder without the consent of Lender. The foregoing indemnity in favor of Bank shall be a continuing obligation of Lender and its respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of any Loans or of this Agreement. Bank may charge, with reasonable prior notification to Lender, any amounts to which it is entitled hereunder against the Account, and Lender shall be entitled to an accounting of all amounts so charged. Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for any consequential, special, indirect or speculative loss or damage (including, but not limited to, lost profits) suffered by Bank in connection with the transactions and services contemplated hereby and the relationship established hereby even if Lender has been advised as to the possibility of the same and regardless of the form of action.
(b) Except for ordinary and customary operating expenses incurred by Bank in providing Services hereunder, Agent shall indemnify Bank and hold it harmless from and against any and all Losses which Bank may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against Bank by reason of or as a result of any unauthorized action taken or omitted by Agent in connection with operating under this Agreement, other than those Losses arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care, negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of Bank under this Agreement; provided, however, that Bank shall not settle any claims brought by third parties that would be covered by Agent’s indemnity obligations hereunder without the consent of Agent. The foregoing indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of Agent and its respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of any Loans or of this Agreement.
Section 7 - Bank Compensation: Security Interest

5
undisputed portion of any such invoice shall not have been paid by Agent within 30 days of invoice date, the amount thereof shall be payable forthwith by Lender upon advice by Bank to Lender of such failure to pay. Bank is authorized, on a monthly basis, to charge reasonable expenses as outlined in Appendix 2 incurred by Bank hereunder and any other amounts owed by Lender hereunder (including the undisputed portions of invoices remaining unpaid after the payment period therefor) against the Account, but Bank shall advise Lender not less than ten Business Days prior to making any such charge.
(c) In order to secure repayment of any indebtedness of Lender to Bank arising hereunder (including, but not limited to, the obligation to reimburse where an AutoCredit or AutoSettle has been reversed), Bank shall have (i) a continuing lien and security interest in and to all assets now or hereafter held in the Account of the applicable Lender as provided in Section 4.3(a) of the Custody Agreement, except those held in any Lender’s Collateral Account, but only to the extent of any such advance and only for as long as any such advance is outstanding, and Bank need not take any action against Agent as a precondition thereto; and (ii) the right to setoff any sums held for Lender or standing to the credit of any Lender cash account with Bank in or towards the satisfaction of any obligation of Lender to Bank with respect to cash advanced to Lender by Bank under this Agreement, whether or not any such sums or credits or obligations are matured or unmatured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and may do so notwithstanding that the Accounts, except any Collateral Account, may be maintained at different branches of Bank and may not be expressed in the same currency.

6

Notwithstanding any such notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all Loans outstanding on the termination date, which Loans shall, however, be terminated as soon as reasonably practicable. The indemnities provided for herein shall survive any termination hereof. The termination of this Agreement with respect to one Lender will not operate as a termination with respect to any other Lender.
Section 11 – Miscellaneous
(a) Conflicts of Interest.

Bank shall not be bound to: (i) account to Lender for any sum received or profit made by Bank for its own account or the account of any other person or (ii) disclose or refuse to disclose any information or take any other action if the same would or might in Bank’s judgment, made in good faith, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable with respect to Bank; provided that, in circumstances mentioned in (ii) above, Bank shall promptly inform Lender of the relevant facts (except where doing so would, or might in Bank’s judgment, made in good faith, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable as aforesaid).

(b) Information. A party shall comply with the reasonable requests of another party for information necessary for the requester’s performance of its duties hereunder.

Confidential Information only for the purposes of providing services under this Agreement and will disclose such Lender Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to provide the services specified in this Agreement or as otherwise required by law or otherwise with the consent of Lender. Agent will use Lender Confidential Information only for the purposes of providing services under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement or in furtherance of its obligations hereunder and will disclose such Lender Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to provide such services or fulfill such obligations or as otherwise required by law or otherwise with the consent of Lender. Each of Lender and Agent shall keep confidential all confidential information provided to it by Bank about Bank under this Agreement (“Bank Confidential Information”), except to the extent that disclosure is required by applicable law, disclosure to the advisors of the Lenders and other service providers to the Lenders is necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise with the consent of Bank.

Notwithstanding anything herein that may be to the contrary, a receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to its regulatory authority having supervisory jurisdiction over it pursuant to a request made during the course of a supervisory examination or otherwise.
(k) Matters Relating to any Trust that is a Massachusetts Business Trust. For any Trust that is a Massachusetts Business Trust, it is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized by the Trustees, and this Agreement has been signed and delivered by an authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such authorization by the Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on them personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as provided in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust.
(l) Separate Agreement for each Lender. This Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute a separate and discrete agreement between Bank, Agent and each Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible or liable for any of the obligations of any other Lender under this Agreement or otherwise, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. In addition, with respect to transactions entered into by a Lender, neither Bank nor Agent shall in any event have recourse to the assets of any other Lender, including collateral.

For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the prices assigned to Securities by Bank for custody purposes are not designed to be used for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, valuing securities for purposes of lending or collateralization. If Agent, nevertheless elects to rely on the same for any such other purpose, Bank shall have no liability therefor. Until such time as Bank commences providing Agent with an automated trade date file, Bank shall provide Agent a manual “contractual date” file along with a “pending trade” file of sales of Securities whether or not on Loan (which latter file shall reflect failed trades, identifiable by having a settlement date prior to the file date). Bank shall advise Agent prior to commencing use of the automated file.
(b) Collateral Movement and Investment. At Loan initiation, Securities are delivered via DTC against payment of initial collateral. Marks to markets are performed by Agent and Additional Collateral is received by the Custodian and immediately credited to the Collateral Agent’s account for the Lender. On the third Business Day of each month, all earnings on cash collateral held by Bank are to be credited to Agent’s Account. Agent shall pay Borrowers any rebates owed. Agent shall also deduct its agency fees after approval by JPMorgan Funds administration, and forward the amounts owed to the Lenders to the Bank by the third Business Day and Bank shall receive it on behalf of each Lender by the third Business Day. Agent shall instruct the Bank to deliver the Securities to be lent to Borrowers delivery versus payment by the earlier of 4:00 p.m. or the close of the market in which the security is traded. Agent shall advise Bank of the termination of a Loan by the earlier of 5:00 p.m. or the close of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund on each Business Day, and of the amount of Collateral to deliver the Borrower in exchange for the return of the Security on Loan. Agent shall serve as Collateral Agent and shall ensure that the ownership interest in Collateral belonging to each Lender identified on Agent’s books and records is being held in a separate Collateral Account in the name of and on behalf of each such Lender. Bank shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for such investments other than to hold the same in custody. Lender shall assure (by way of liquidation, maturity proceeds or otherwise) that there is sufficient cash in the Collateral Account to enable Bank to return the same to the Borrower. In the event that there is insufficient cash in the Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent
shall notify the Lender by the earlier of 5:00 p.m. or the close of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund on the same Business Day.
(c) Bank Not liable. Lender and Agent acknowledge that Bank shall have no responsibility for: (i) any identification error by Lender, and (ii) any transmission error by Agent provided the Bank has acted without negligence, failure to exercise reasonable care, fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct.
(d) Sale. Sale Proceeds. (i) Bank shall accept Instructions from Agent in writing (which may be electronic) of the amount of collateral to be delivered to the Borrower and shall act on such Instructions only upon or after receipt of the Securities on Loan. (ii) Bank shall advance settlement proceeds to the Lender on settlement date for the sale of a Security on Loan, even where such proceeds are not received, it being understood that Bank may reverse such advance if the sale proceeds are not received in a reasonable amount of time as determined by Bank. Agent shall pay compensation of federal funds plus 50 basis point for the first two Business Days and federal funds plus 100 basis points thereafter to Bank for any such advance, and as the same may be amended from time to time (iii) Bank shall update its records to reflect the status of such Securities as having been sold and shall provide access to such records via JPM VIEWS to enable Lender and Agent to manage on loan inventory.
II. Termination of Loans
Bank shall accept Instructions from Lender or Agent in writing (which may be electronic) of when to expect the return of a Security on Loan in those cases other than where the Borrower terminates the Loan. Where a Borrower terminates a Loan, Lender or Agent shall so advise Bank no later than the earlier of 5:00 p.m. or the close of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund on each Business Day and confirm to Bank whether or not the return should be accepted and Bank shall act accordingly. Bank shall accept Instructions from Agent in writing (which may be electronic) of the amount of collateral to be delivered to the Borrower and shall act on such Instructions only upon or after receipt of the Securities on Loan.
Upon its receipt of Securities back from Loan, Bank shall reflect the status of such Securities on its records as having been returned to custody.
III. Loan Record Keeping and Reports.
As part of custody reporting, Bank shall provide Lender with such statements and reports as are reasonably necessary in Lender’s judgment in connection with Services. Bank shall provide access to JPM VIEWs so that Agent can perform reconciliation between Bank’s records and Agent’s records. Agent shall perform a reconciliation of such records on each Business Day.
IV. Distributions and Corporate Actions.
(a) Cash Distributions. Bank shall credit Cash Distributions on Securities on Loan, and may reverse such credits, in accordance with the provisions of the Custody Agreement relating to the crediting of income, provided that AutoCredit shall only be available, if at all, with respect to Securities on Loan as provided in Section 4(b). Agent shall instruct the Borrower that Distributions on loaned Securities shall be paid to Bank for the benefit of Lender. Except where AutoCredit is made, Bank shall credit Cash Distributions to the Lender upon Bank’s actual receipt thereof.
(b) Non-Cash Distributions. With respect to Securities on Loan, Bank need not claim any Non-Cash Distribution thereon from the Borrower thereof or from the Agent, and Bank shall credit the same to the Account only upon its actual receipt thereof (and Bank shall not accrue the same). Lender acknowledges that if, and only if, Lender holds a Security in custody which is the same as the Security on Loan, Bank shall advise Lender (but not the Agent) of Non-Cash Distributions on such Security
2
on Loan to the same extent it would under the Custody Agreement and, subject to subparagraph (d) below, Lender may provide the contents of such advice to Agent.
(c) Corporate Actions. Bank shall make available to Lender any corporate action notifications with respect to the total position of Lender in a given Security, regardless of the extent to which the position is on Loan (provided that at least one share of the affected Security is in Bank’s custody) and, subject to subparagraph (d) below, Lender may provide the contents of such advice to Agent. Bank shall provide Agent with access to corporate action notifications for all Securities on loan.
Bank shall accept corporate action Instructions from Lender or Lender’s investment advisor as specified in the Service Level Document Bank shall reflect all of Lender or its investment advisors’ corporate action elections in JPM VIEWs which Agent shall access. Bank shall act on such Instructions and its responsibilities in such cases shall be as provided under the Custody Agreement. With respect to Securities that are on Loan on the Effective Date of a corporate action or that have not timely been received back from Loan into custody (other than a reasonable efforts basis set out in the next paragraph), Bank shall have no responsibility. Agent will reconcile the elections made with respect to the total position held by Lender and resolve any discrepancies in the share amounts with respect to such elections. Bank shall have no responsibility to follow any Instruction from Agent in respect of such corporate actions or to determine if Instructions have been given by Lender to Agent; it being understood that it is anticipated that Lender shall not Instruct Agent directly with respect to corporate actions. If no shares of a Security on Loan are in Bank’s custody 24 hours prior to the applicable Depository deadline, then Bank shall not provide notification of the affected corporate action to Agent, but shall provide Agent with the relevant Instruction from the Lender or Lender’s investment advisor.
In connection with the foregoing, (i) Lender acknowledges that Bank shall not be responsible for seeking Instructions, monitoring corporate action events (unless at least one share of the affected Security is in Bank’s custody) or following up in any manner with Borrower in respect of corporate actions or for the failure by Agent or any Borrower to transmit to Bank the proceeds of any corporate action; and (ii) if, and only if, Securities on Loan are received back by Bank from the Agent no later than two Business Days prior to the corporate action cut-off time otherwise established by Bank for having securities in custody so that Bank may act upon corporate action Instructions, Bank shall treat such securities for corporate action purposes in the same manner as if they had not been on Loan; and (iii) if any Securities are received back by Bank after the period set out in the preceding sub-paragraph (ii) but prior to the applicable Depository deadline, Bank shall process the corporate action election(s) on such Securities on a reasonable efforts basis only, and Bank shall have no liability for the failure to process any such corporate action election.
(d) Disclosure to Agent. With regard to corporate action information provided by Bank to Agent (“Confidential Corporate Action Information”), Agent: (i) acknowledges that Bank views all such information as proprietary; (ii) shall not use any such information other than in connection with providing securities lending agent services to Lender as contemplated by the Securities Lending Agency Agreement and this Agreement; and (iii) shall not disclose any such information to any third party, except to the extent that disclosure is required by applicable law. Confidential Corporate Action Information shall in no event include information which Agent or its affiliates (i) knew at the time of first disclosure to it; (ii) is or becomes generally known in the industry or public knowledge without default by the Agent of its obligations hereunder; (iii) has been independently developed by it through employees none of whom had access to Confidential Corporate Action Information; or (iv) is generally furnished to third parties by the issuer or other custodial banks without confidentiality restriction. Notwithstanding anything herein that may be to the contrary, Agent may disclose Confidential Corporate Action Information to its regulatory authority having supervisory jurisdiction over it pursuant to a request made during the course of a supervisory examination or otherwise.

The Bank reserves the right to modify this Schedule and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the products and services available through the Products, upon notice to the Lender. The Bank shall endeavour to give the Lender reasonable notice of its termination or suspension of access hereunder to any Product, but may do so immediately upon written notice to the Lender if the Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that providing access to such Product would violate applicable law or that the security or integrity of such Product is at risk.
2. In consideration of the fees paid by the Lender to the Bank and subject to any applicable Software License Addendum in relation to Bank owned or sublicensed Software provided for a particular application and applicable law, the Bank grants to the Lender on the terms of this Schedule a non-exclusive license to use the Products and the information and data made available to the Lender through the Products (the “Data”) for the sole use of the Lender. The Lender may download the Data and print out hard copies for its reference, provided that it does not remove any copyright or other notices contained therein or any hyperlink or other reference to any such notice.
3. The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the provision of certain cash products and services via the Products shall also be governed, to the extent not governed by this Agreement, by the Bank’s terms and conditions relating to such products and services, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Product Terms”). If and to the extent that there
is a conflict between the Product Terms and this Schedule, the provisions of this Schedule shall prevail.
4. The Lender acknowledges that there are certain security, corruption, transaction error and access availability risks associated with using open networks such as the internet, and the Lender hereby expressly assumes such risks. The Lender shall make its own independent assessment of the adequacy of the internet and of the security procedures made available by the Bank.
