encumbered any interest or rights with respect to this Agency Agreement,
the Lending Agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
4. INDEMNIFICATION.
a. The Agent agrees to indemnify the Lender from any liability that is
incurred by the Lender resulting from the Agent's negligence or willful
misconduct in performing its duties hereunder, PROVIDED THAT, the liability
of the Agent shall be limited to the Market Value of the Loaned Securities
to which such loss or damage relates, at the time of such negligence or
willful misconduct, and PROVIDED FURTHER THAT, the Agent shall not be
liable for (i) special, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits or
loss of business, (ii) any liability incurred as a result of the actions or
inactions of any depositories or any third party agents of Agent
(including, without limitation, any depositories such as The Depository
Trust Company and The Participants Trust Company and pricing agencies),
(iii) any loss arising out of any suspension of the Agent's duties and
obligations hereunder as a result of any law, regulation, decree, order or
governmental act which prevents or limits the performance of such duties
and obligations and (iv) any loss arising out of any reason, cause or
contingency beyond the Agent's reasonable control, including (without
limitation) natural disasters, nationalization, currency restrictions, act
of war, act of terrorism, act of God, postal or other strikes affecting the
market infrastructure, or the failure, suspension or disruption of any
relevant stock exchange, clearance system or market.
b. The Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent from any liability incurred
by the Agent resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agency Agreement, or the Lending
Agreements or as a consequence of carrying out any instructions of the
Lender, including, without limitation, instructions transmitted orally, by
telephone, telex, facsimile transmission or any other means agreed to
between the Lender and the Agent; provided that, the Lender shall not be
liable for loss resulting from the Agent's negligence or willful
misconduct.
(c) (i) If there occurs a default by the Approved Borrower under
Section 16(b)(iv) of a Lending Agreement which results in the termination
of a Loan and the Approved Borrower is unable to redeliver
2
the Loaned Securities, then, the Agent shall as soon as practicable and
without any further authorization by or direction from the Lender, upon
receipt of reasonable evidence of such event of default, pay into the
Lender's account (Y) an amount equal to the difference between (1) the
value of the Loaned Securities at the time of default, or, if at such time
a value is not determinable, the latest prior time at which a value is
determinable (the "Indemnification Payment Time") and (2) the value of the
Collateral as determined on the "relevant date" (as defined below) or at
the Indemnification Payment Time, whichever is greater; PROVIDED THAT, to
the extent that the value of the Collateral at the Indemnification Payment
Time is less than the value of the Collateral on the relevant date as a
result of the negligence or willful default of the Agent, then the
difference between (1) and (2) shall be increased by an amount equal to the
change in the value of the Collateral, or (Z) 100% of the value of the
Loaned Securities on the relevant date, whichever is less;
As used in this Section, the "relevant date" means the date which is
the later of (A) the Settlement Date (as defined in the Lending Agreements)
of the relevant Loan or (B) the last date (prior to the default by the
Approved Borrower) on which the Agent completed a successful xxxx to market
process (namely a xxxx to market process which either did not result in a
demand for additional collateral, or if a demand was made, resulted in the
delivery of such additional Collateral), PROVIDED THAT if there was any
later date (prior to the default of the Approved Borrower) on which the
Approved Borrower was still able and willing to deliver sufficient
additional Collateral but the Agent failed to complete a successful xxxx to
market process due to its negligence or willful default, then such date (or
the last such dates, if more than one) shall be the relevant date.
References to the "value" of Securities or other things shall mean the
value determined in accordance with the Agent's usual procedures under the
Lending Agreements.
(ii) The Lender acknowledges and agrees that the investment of cash
Collateral is for the Lender's account and the Lender agrees that to the
extent any investment losses reduce the amount of cash below the amount
required by the Loan and/or xxxx to market process, the Lender will, on the
Agent's demand, pay to the Agent such amount (together with any applicable
fees or charges) in cash which the Agent will receive and use as, or
reimburse for, Collateral. If the Lender fails to make any payment due the
Agent, the Lender will be liable to the Agent for the amount of any such
payment, together with interest on such amount, from the date of the
Agent's demand referred to above until payment of such liability.
(iii) The Lender and Agent each consent to the other's reservation of the
right, without imposing any obligation not otherwise specifically set forth
herein, (A) to terminate or modify any Loan at any time, and (B) the right
to review and delete any Approved Borrowers and/or investment
counterparties at any time.
5. SECURITY INTEREST. As security for any liability arising under this
Agreement of the Lender to the Agent, the Lender hereby (a) pledges and
assigns to, and grants to the Agent a continuing security interest in and a
lien on, the Collateral and the proceeds thereof and the Agent shall have,
with respect thereto, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under applicable law and (b) grants to the Agent a right of set-off against
any assets in any custody account listed in Schedule I of this Agreement.
6. SUBROGATION. If the Agent makes any transfer or payment as a result of a
failure by an Approved Borrower to return any Loaned Securities, the Lender
agrees that the Agent is and will be subrogated to all the Lender's rights
with respect to such failure in and to the Lending Agreements and the
Collateral under such Lending Agreements and the Lender hereby assigns to
the Agent all such rights.
7. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. The Agent may (but shall not be obligated) obtain advice
of Lender's counsel in respect of its rights and obligations under this
Agency Agreement and the Lending Agreements and shall be fully protected
for any actions taken or not taken pursuant to such advice of counsel.
3
8. SECURITIES LENDING FEES.
a. In consideration of the services provided hereunder the Lender agrees
to pay to the Agent an amount equal to 30% of the investment income (net of
rebates) on cash Collateral delivered to the Agent on Lender's behalf in
respect of any Loans by the Approved Borrowers, as well as reasonable fees
paid in connection with transactions for which non-cash Collateral is
provided by Approved Borrowers.
b. The fees payable to Agent hereunder shall be substantiated in the
statements provided to the Lender by the Agent under the terms of this
Agency Agreement and such fees shall be payable on a monthly basis. The
Agent is hereby authorized and directed to withhold such fees from the
amounts payable to Lender in respect of such investment and fee income or
as otherwise agreed in writing.
9. ADVANCES. The Lender agrees to repay the Agent promptly for any advances of
funds that the Agent may from time to time, in its sole discretion, make to
the Lender in connection with and to facilitate the transactions
contemplated in this Agency Agreement and the Lending Agreements. In such
event, the Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such
advance or payment, together with interest on such amounts, at a rate per
annum equal to the Agent's internal pool fund rate, from the date of the
Agent's advance or the due date of such payment, as appropriate, until
payment by the Lender of such liability. The Agent may withhold all such
amounts from the amounts payable to the Lender hereunder.
10. DISCLOSURE/CONFIDENTIALITY; NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.
a. The Lender and Agent each agree and understand that each party may
disclose the other's identity or information regarding the terms of this
Agency Agreement, the Lending Agreements and the transactions contemplated
in such agreements if required to do so by any court order or similar
process or by order of an authority having power and jurisdiction over the
respective party, and Lender agrees that the Agent may disclose the
Lender's identity, as deemed necessary in connection with the consummation
of any Loans.
b. The Lender agrees that no printed materials or other matter in any
language which mention Citigroup Inc., Citibank, N.A. or the rights, powers
or duties of the Agent shall be issued by the Lender or on the Lender's
behalf unless Citibank, N.A. shall first have given its specific written
consent.
c. Lender agrees that, notwithstanding anything else contained in this
Agency Agreement and any other agreement between the Lender and Citibank,
N.A. and its affiliates (collectively, "Citigroup"), neither Citibank, N.A.
nor any of its affiliates shall incur any liability for failure to make
use, in its role as Agent within the terms of this Agency Agreement, of
non-public information, the use of which may be prohibited by the legal and
regulatory environment and by internal Citigroup policies, whether or not
the use of such information in a specific instance might not constitute a
breach of any such applicable laws, regulations or polices.
11. NOTICE OF SALE. The Lender agrees to give prompt notice, and to cause all
of the investment managers and/or advisors with access to the Designated
Accounts to give prompt notice, to the Agent of any securities in the
Designated Accounts it or they, as applicable, shall or have sold. The
Lender understands that the Agent shall have no liability as a result of
the failure of the Lender and/or its investment managers/advisors to give
sufficient notice of sale of securities in the Designated Accounts to
provide for the recall of such securities in accordance with the terms of
the Lending Agreements.
12. NOTICES. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices

Securities Lending
Agency Agreement
MASTER SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT (REV. 1/13/84)
DATED: __________________, 199___
Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth the terms of an agreement between Citibank, N.A., as
Agent for one or more holders of securities (the "Agent" ), and
_______________________________ (the "Borrower").
1. POSITION OF AGENT
The Agent has been appointed the agent for one or more holders of
securities (collectively, the "Lenders"), to arrange and administer, on
behalf of such holders, pursuant to this Agreement, loans of securities. A
list of such Lenders is available upon request to the Agent.
2. LOANS OF SECURITIES
If the Borrower desires to borrow securities it may telephone the Agent,
specifying the securities the Borrower wishes to borrow, the nature of the
Collateral (such term and certain other defined terms employed herein being
defined in Annex I) the Borrower proposes to deliver to the Agent as
security for such loan, the Maintenance Percentage to be applicable in
connection with such loan, the fees and rebates the Borrower proposes to
pay and collect in connection with such loan and the principal terms of the
Loan referred to in Section 4 hereof. The Agent, on behalf of a Lender
willing to consummate a loan ( a "Loan") of such securities (the "Loaned
Securities") upon such terms shall so notify the Borrower by telephone
(such day of notification being herein referred to as the "Trade Date").
Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Borrower and provided in the

parties on the Trade Date.
3. DELIVERIES ON THE SETTLEMENT DATE
(a) On the Settlement Date for any Loan and during the Agent's
business hours, the Lender making such Loan shall (i) cause the Loaned
Securities which are to be the subject of such Loan to be credited to the
account of the Borrower in accordance with subsection (c) (ii) (B) of

certificates representing such Loaned Securities in accordance with

thereto at the time the Agent has been notified by the Borrower of its
intent to borrow securities.
(c) Upon the delivery of the Loaned Securities by the Agent to the

any and all Loans extended by such Lender a security interest in all cash
and Marketable Securities held by the Agent as Collateral for such Loans

Loans. Any such security interest shall survive the termination of any
Loans arising from a Borrower's Default under Section 16 hereof or a
failure of the Borrower to make a delivery required by Section 15 hereof
and shall continue until all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender
hereunder have been satisfied.

COLLATERAL
(a) The Agent, on behalf of each Lender having a Loan outstanding
hereunder, shall be entitled to exercise all rights of ownership of any
cash held by the Agent as Collateral for such Loan, including the right to
invest it, and may deal with such cash at the risk and for the account of
such Lender. The sole obligation of such Lender in respect of any such cash

(a) With respect to each Loan hereunder, the Borrower will, provided
no Lender's Default by or attributable to the Lender making such Loan has
occurred and is continuing, and except as provided in subsection (b) of
this Section:
(i) Deliver to the Agent an amount equal to any cash distributions or
dividends payable on the Loaned Securities subject to such Loan within one
Business Day after the payable date for any such payment or distribution.
In the case of Foreign Securities, all cash distributions, dividends, and
interest shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent. In the event that
such Loaned Securities have been re-registered while on loan in the name of
an entity which incurs a higher withholding tax on distributions than the
Lender would have incurred, the Borrower will deliver to the Agent the full
amount that would have been due the Lender if the Loaned Securities had not
been on loan.
4
(ii) Deliver to the Agent securities or rights corresponding to any
securities or rights distributed on such Loaned Securities within one
Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of any such distribution or
within one Business Day after distribution date, whichever date is earlier.
In the event a distribution or dividend on such Loaned Securities is
payable in one of several forms at the option of the owner of record of
such Loaned Securities and one of such options is a cash option, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Agent within one Business Day after the
payable date for such cash option, free and clear of any claims of the
Borrower hereunder, a payment in cash equal to the amount that would have
been received if the cash option had been chosen with respect to such
distribution or dividend.
(b) In the case of distributions or dividends in securities made on
Loaned Securities subject to any Loan, such securities will be added to the
Loaned Securities, and be considered as Loaned Securities subject to such
Loan for all purposes, unless the Borrower and Agent agree otherwise. Where
such securities are to be added to the Loaned Securities, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Agent on such distribution date additional Collateral
with a Market Value at least equal to the Maintenance Percentage of the
Market Value of such securities on distribution date.
(c) With respect to each Loan hereunder the Lender making such Loan
will, provided no Borrower's Default has occurred and is continuing:
(i) direct the Agent to deliver to the Borrower an amount equal to
any cash distributions or dividends payable on any Marketable Securities
included in the Collateral for such Loan within one (1) Business Day after
the payable date for any such payment or distribution; and
(ii) direct the Agent to deliver to the Borrower securities or rights
corresponding to any securities or rights distributed on such Marketable
Securities within one (1) Business Day after receipt by the Lender of any
such distribution. In the event a distribution or dividend on such
Marketable Securities is payable in one of several forms at the option of
the owner of record of such Marketable Securities and one of such options
is a cash option, the Lender shall direct the Agent to deliver to the
Borrower within one (1) Business Day after the payable date for such cash
option free and clear of any claims hereunder a payment in cash equal to
the amount that would have been received if the cash options had been
chosen with respect to such distribution or dividend.
12. MARKS TO MARKET
(a) If, as of the close of business on any Business Day, the
aggregate Market Value of the Collateral in respect of all Loans between a
single Lender and the Borrower (the "Aggregate Collateral Value") shall
exceed the Maintenance Percentage of the aggregate Market Value of the
Loaned Securities subject to such Loans (the "Aggregate Loaned Securities
Value"), the Agent shall, if so directed by the Borrower and provided that
the Agent shall not know that any Borrower's Default has occurred and is
continuing, as promptly as possible on the next Business Day, return to the
Borrower (and the Lender making such Loan shall be deemed to have directed
the Agent to do so ) Collateral specified by the Borrower provided that as
of the close of business on the day prior to the date of such return, after
giving effect to any such return, the Aggregate Collateral Value shall be
at least equal to the Maintenance Percentage of the Aggregate Loaned
Securities Value.
(b) If, as of the close of business on any Business Day, the
Aggregate Collateral Value shall be less than the Maintenance Percentage of
the Aggregate Loaned Securities Value, the Agent shall, prior to 12:00 noon
on the next Business Day, give telephonic notice of such fact to the
Borrower which shall, provided that no Lender's Default, by or attributable
to the Lender which made such Loan, has occurred and is continuing, deliver
to the Agent Collateral with a Market Value such that as of the close of
business on the day prior to the date of such delivery the Aggregate
Collateral Value, after giving effect to such delivery, shall be at least
equal to the Maintenance Percentage of the Aggregate Loaned Securities
Value.
5
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, if a Lender has more than one
Loan outstanding hereunder, Collateral delivered by the Borrower with
respect to all Loans outstanding from such Lender hereunder shall be
aggregated and deemed allocated pro rata to each such Loan according to the
respective Market Value of the Loaned Securities which are the subject of
each such Loan.
(d) If any notice of the type described in subsection (b) of this
Section is given by the Agent by 10:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on any
Business Day, deliveries of Collateral called for as a result thereof shall
be made no later than the close of business on such Business Day.
Otherwise, deliveries shall be made no later than 12:00 noon,
New York City
time, on the following Business Day.
(e) Solely with respect to Borrowers which are registered
broker-dealers under the Exchange Act, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Agent prior to 12:00 noon,
New York City time, daily on each Business Day
during the term of any Loan under this Agreement a report, either by
telephone or otherwise, of the Market Value at the close of trading on the
last preceding Business Day of all Collateral and Loaned Securities on such
day. In the event the Aggregate Loaned Securities Value at the close of
trading on such last preceding Business Day exceeds 100% of the Aggregate
Collateral Value, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent additional
Collateral by the close of the day such report is furnished as necessary to
equal, when added to the Aggregate Collateral Value as of the close of
business on the date of such delivery, not less than the Maintenance
Percentage of the Aggregate Loaned Securities Value. The Borrower may elect
in such report to leave any excess Collateral with the Agent. In the event
the Agent disagrees with a report furnished by the Borrower, or in the
event that the Borrower fails to furnish such report by 12:00 noon,
New
York City time, on the Business Day following the day for which the report
is made, the Agent may demand that the Borrower deliver an amount of
additional Collateral computed pursuant to this Section 12, and the
Borrower shall make delivery of such additional Collateral and a statement
of its Market Value to the Agent by the close of business on the same
Business Day. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (e) are
in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations of the Borrower under
subsection (b) of this Section.
13. TRANSFER TAXES AND FEES
All transfer taxes and fees, if any, with respect to any transfers of
Loaned Securities and any Collateral shall be paid by the Borrower.
14. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) The Borrower will indemnify, defend, hold and save harmless the
Agent and each Lender from any claims, actions, demands or liabilities of
any kind whatsoever arising in any way out of any use that the Borrower
makes of any Loaned Securities and will reimburse each Lender, upon demand,
for any losses, other than consequential damages, incurred by such Lender
(including all reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as a result of any
failure or inability of the Borrower to return Equivalent Securities
corresponding to the Loaned Securities subject to any Loan by such Lender
in the manner and under the circumstances contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Each Lender will indemnify, defend, hold and save harmless the
Agent and the Borrower from any claims, actions, demands or liabilities of
any kind whatsoever arising in any way out of the use that such Lender
makes of any Marketable Securities included in the Collateral for any Loan
by such Lender and will reimburse the Borrower, upon demand, for any
losses, other than consequential damages, incurred by the Borrower
(including all reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as a result of any
failure or inability of such Lender to return any cash or Equivalent
Securities corresponding to any Marketable Securities included in the
Collateral for any Loan by such Lender in the manner and under the
circumstances contemplated by this Agreement.
15. TERMINATION WITHOUT DEFAULT
(a) Provided that no Borrower's Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower may terminate a Loan on any Business Day by giving
notice to the Agent of its intention to terminate such Loan on such
6
day (a "Borrower's Termination Date"); provided, however, that if such
notice is given after 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on such day, the
Borrower's Termination Date for such Loan, shall be the next following
Business Day. On any Borrower's Termination Date for any Loan, the Borrower
shall deliver Equivalent Securities corresponding to the Loaned Securities
which are the subject of such Loan to the Agent and the Agent shall deliver
to the Borrower:
(i) cash in an amount equal to the amount of cash Collateral for such
Loan (net of redeliveries) theretofore delivered to the Agent by the
Borrower; and
(ii) Equivalent Securities corresponding to any Marketable Securities
theretofore delivered to the Agent as Collateral for such Loan, provided
that no such delivery under (i) above or this Subsection (ii) shall be made
to the extent such delivery would cause the Aggregate Collateral Value to
be less than the Maintenance Percentage of the Aggregate Loaned Securities
Value.
(b) Provided that no Lender's Default by or attributable to such
Lender has occurred and is continuing, a Lender may on any Business Day
notify the Agent by telephone of the Lender's election to terminate a Loan
made by such Lender on such day (a "Lender's Termination Date"); provided,
however, that if such notice is given after 12:00 noon, New York City time
on such day, the Lender's Termination Date for such Loan shall be the next
Business Day. The Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, after receipt of
such notice from such Lender, give notice of such Lender's Termination Date
to the Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after any Lender's
Termination Date or, if the then customary delivery period in New York City
in the principal market for Equivalent Securities corresponding to the
Marketable Securities which are the subject of such Loan would expire on an
earlier date, on such earlier date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
Equivalent Securities corresponding to the Loaned Securities which are the
subject of the terminated Loan and the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower:
(i) cash in an amount equal to the amount of cash Collateral for such
Loan (net of redeliveries) theretofore delivered to the Agent by the
Borrower; and
(ii) Equivalent Securities corresponding to any Marketable Securities
theretofore delivered to the Agent as Collateral for such Loan, provided
that no such delivery under (i) or (ii) above shall be made to the extent
such delivery would cause the Aggregate Collateral Value to be less than
the Maintenance Percentage of the Aggregate Loaned Securities Value.
With respect to Foreign Securities:
(i) For termination of a loan by the Borrower, the Borrower shall
notify the Agent of the termination of a loan on the Business Day which
immediately precedes the Foreign Business Day in the principal market in
which the Securities will be returned;
(ii) For termination of a loan by the Lender, the Borrower shall
return Foreign Securities within a period of time equal to the customary
settlement period in the principal trading market for such Foreign
Securities commencing on the Foreign Business Day immediately following the
Business Day on which the Lender or the Agent notifies the Borrower of
termination; and
(iii) The collateral will be returned to the Borrower on the Business
Day immediately following the Foreign Business Day on which the Foreign
Securities are returned to the Agent. If the collateral is in the form of
cash, transfer will be effected in immediately available funds.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, any Lender,
provided that no Lender's Default by or attributable to such Lender has
occurred and is continuing, or the Borrower, provided that no Borrower's
Default has occurred and is continuing, may terminate a Loan with respect
to (i) any U.S. Government Securities, on any Business Day on which the
Federal Reserve Clearance System is open for business and (ii) any Agency
Securities, on any Business Day on which the Federal Reserve Clearance
System is open for business, by giving telephonic notice of its intent to
terminate such Loan on said day (a "Government
7
Termination Date"); provided however, that if such notice is given after
10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such day, the Government Termination
Date for such Loan shall be the next following Business Day. On the
Government Termination Date for any Loan, the Borrower shall deliver
Equivalent Securities corresponding to the Loaned Securities which are the
subject of such Loan to the Agent and the Lender shall direct the Agent to
return the Collateral for such Loan to the Borrower.

any petition is filed against it in any court or before any agency alleging

capital requirements provided in Rule 15c3-1 under
8
the Exchange Act or (ii) the Borrower's net capital shall be less than 5%
of its aggregate debit items if the Borrower is operating pursuant to such

notice by telephone (confirmed as promptly as practicable in writing) to
the non-defaulting party, identifying the party in default and describing
the Lender's or the Borrower's Default in question. No failure or omission
by the Agent to give any such notice shall excuse any Lender's Default or
Borrower's Default or limit the rights of any Borrower or Lender in respect
thereof.
17. REMEDIES OF LENDER
Upon the happening of any Borrower's Default each Lender shall have all the
rights in respect of the Collateral of a secured party under Articles 8 and

and remedies it may have, may at its sole option, elect, without any
further notice to or demand on the Borrower by the Agent, to purchase
Equivalent Securities corresponding to the Loaned Securities which are the
subject of any outstanding Loan or Loans and apply the Collateral for such
Loan or Loans to or toward the payment of the cost thereof (the purchase
price thereof, including accrued interest, if applicable, plus any
brokerage commissions, fees, transfer taxes, and other charges incurred by
the Lender in connection with such purchase) and any other amounts then
owing to the Lender hereunder, in which event the obligation of the
Borrower to return Equivalent Securities corresponding to such Loaned
Securities shall terminate and such Lender shall be entitled to collect and
retain all payments of principal of, interest on or any other amount
payable on or with respect to such Collateral. The Borrower shall be liable
for, and shall pay to the Agent upon demand, the excess, if any, of the
cost to such Lender (as defined above and as specified in such demand) of
the Equivalent Securities corresponding to the Loaned Securities purchased
by such Lender pursuant to this Section, plus any amounts then owing to the
Lender hereunder with respect to the Loan or Loans in question, over the

under any Letters of Credit included in the Collateral then held by the
Agent with respect to such Loan or Loans and (iii) the Market Value, as of
the close of business on the Business Day preceding the date of purchase of
such Equivalent Securities of the Marketable Securities included in the
Collateral then held by the Agent with respect to such Loan or Loans,
together with interest on such excess at an annual rate equal to the
broker's loan rate in effect at Citibank N.A., from time to time, or the
maximum rate permitted by law, if less, from the date of such purchase or
notice until the date of payment of such excess. In the event the sum of
(i), (ii) and (iii) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence exceeds
the cost of the Equivalent Securities purchased pursuant to this Section
plus any amounts then owing to such Lender hereunder, such Lender shall
return such excess amount to the Borrower, provided that no such amount
shall be returned to the extent such delivery would cause the Aggregate
Collateral Value to be less then the maintenance Percentage of the
Aggregate Loaned Securities Value. The Borrower shall be liable for, and
shall pay to the Agent on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender as a result of any Borrower's Default.
18. REMEDIES OF BORROWER
Upon the happening of any Lender's Default, the Borrower, in addition to
any and all other rights and remedies it may have, may at its sole option,
and without any further notice to or demand on the Lender in question by
the Agent, elect to purchase the Loaned Securities which are the subject of
any Loan or Loans by such Lender at a purchase price equal to the Market
Value of such loaned Securities (including accrued interest, if applicable,
if such interest is not included in the Market Value of such Loaned
Securities) at the close of business on the day preceding the date of such
event less any other amounts then owing to the Borrower by such Lender
hereunder, and apply any cash or Marketable Securities then held by the
Agent as Collateral for such Loan or Loans by such Lender to the payment of
such purchase price (any Marketable Securities included in such Collateral
being valued for purposes of such payment at their Market Value at

Lender shall remain liable, in the event of any such purchase of such
Loaned Securities, to the Borrower for an amount equal to the excess of the

to the Borrower by such Lender hereunder, the Borrower shall remit to such
Lender such excess amount. If the Borrower purchases Loaned Securities
pursuant to this Section the Borrower shall be entitled to collect and
retain all payments of principal of, interest on or any other amounts
payable on or with respect to such Loaned Securities. Each Lender shall be
liable for, and shall pay to the Agent on demand, all reasonable costs and

attributable to such Lender.
