Section 2 – Terms of Rider

Accordingly, save as otherwise expressly set forth in or modified by this Rider, the terms of the Custody Agreement shall extend and apply to any Services provided by Bank under this Rider and neither Lender nor Bank shall be (i) released from any of its duties and/or obligations, and/or (ii) limited in any rights and/or remedies available to them under the Custody Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Custody Agreement and the terms of this Rider with respect to the Bank´s duties and/or obligations in connection with Securities on Loan for which Bank provides Services, the terms of this Rider shall prevail and govern.
Section 3 – Appointment
Lender hereby appoints Bank as its agent to provide securities lending support services in connection with Loans of Securities held in Accounts established under the Custody Agreement which may be described in service level documentation among the Agent and the parties hereto (“Services”), and Bank accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with the terms of this Rider and, pursuant to Section 8(a) below, the Custody Agreement, when providing its services hereunder.
Section 4 – Description of Services
(a) | Transaction Processing: Lender shall notify Bank of which Account(s) are available for Loans. |
i. | Designation of Securities for Lending; Delivery of Lent Securities. Bank acknowledges that Securities eligible for lending shall be as designated from time to time to Bank by Lender. Securities eligible for lending shall be as shown on JPM ACCESS (and/or reported via SWIFT messaging), it being understood that Lender shall designate Agent as an “Authorized Third Party” under the applicable licensing agreement so that Agent has access to JPM ACCESS. The availability file produced by Bank via JPM ACCESS, removes securities from the lendable asset list as of trade date. Bank shall, in accordance with Instructions, deliver to Borrowers Securities from an Account and shall reflect the status of such Securities on its records as being on Loan for the applicable Account. Lender acknowledges that Bank shall have no responsibility for: (A) not processing a transaction where Agent identifies a transaction with the same reference number as had been used for a prior transaction, (B) any other identification error by Agent, and (C) any transmission error by Agent. |
X.X. Xxxxxx | 2
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 and confirm to Bank whether or not the return should be accepted and Bank shall act accordingly. 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. | Sale Proceeds. (A) Bank shall advance settlement proceeds to the Lender on settlement date for the sale of a Security on Loan when sufficient stock is held and the sale instruction is received by Bank by the specified cut-off time, 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. Lender shall pay compensation to Bank for any such advance, upon receipt of such proceeds during the term of the advance (or upon Bank’s reversing such advance) in accordance with the Custody Agreement. (B) Bank shall update its records to reflect the status of such Securities as having been sold. |
iv. | Loan Record Keeping and Reports. As part of custody reporting, Bank shall provide Lender and Agent with such statements and reports as are reasonably necessary in Bank’s judgment in connection with Services. |
(b) | Distributions and Corporate Actions: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Custody Agreement, Lender acknowledges that in respect of Securities on Loan, Bank’s obligations are modified as follows: |
i. | Distributions. (A) Cash Distributions. Bank shall notify the Lender and Agent of any cash payments (by way of dividend or other income) due on Securities on Loan and shall post the same as an entitlement due to Lender on the Lender’s Account. Bank shall credit Lender’s Account with the amount of any cash Distributions from Securities on Loan which Bank actually receives and these will only be credited to the Cash Account on actual receipt and reconciliation by Bank notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Custody Agreement. In respect of Securities on Loan, Lender or Agent may need to instruct the Borrower or the Securities Depository holding such Securities that Distributions thereon are to be paid to Bank for the benefit of Lender. (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 on Loan to the same extent it would under the Custody Agreement. |
ii. | 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 Lender may provide the contents of such notice to Agent. Bank will provide Agent with access to corporate action notifications for all Securities on Loan pursuant to the terms of the service level documentation agreed to between Agent, Bank and Lender from time to time. |

14
6.
