ATTACHMENT 1
to
AMENDMENT TO SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT AND GUARANTY
dated August 7, 2003
which Amendment is made and effective as of October 1, 2011, by and between THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, formerly known as The Bank of New York (the “Bank”) and each Investment Company and each Series thereof listed on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Lender”)
SCHEDULE I
to
SECURITIES LENDING AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT AND GUARANTY
THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, formerly known as The Bank of New York (the “Bank”) and each Investment Company and each Series thereof listed on Exhibit A thereto (each a “Lender”) (the “Agreement”)
APPROVED INVESTMENTS
In accordance with the Agreement, Cash Collateral received by Bank on behalf of Lender shall be held in a the Collateral Account established and maintained by Bank for Lender and shall be invested and maintained in accordance with the following guidelines:
Amortized Cost
Cash collateral which is invested on behalf of the Lender by Bank will be held and maintained by the Bank in the Collateral Account on an amortized cost, rather than market value basis. If non-cash assets are to be sold prior to their maturity for purposes of effecting a withdrawal from the Collateral Account, it is possible that a loss may be realized. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Collateral Account will continue to be maintained on a cost, rather than a market value basis. The amortized or book value of the Collateral Account’s assets and underlying fair market value of its assets may differ to a certain degree, and accordingly, deposits or withdrawals to or from the Collateral Account utilizing such amortized or book value may be made when the fair market value of the underlying assets of the Collateral Account is less than, or exceeds, such amortized or book value.
Allowable Investments: The Bank is hereby Authorized to invest and reinvest Cash Collateral in the following U.S. Dollar denominated investments:
1. The BNY Mellon Overnight Government Fund, a series of the BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Trust; and
2. Repurchase Transactions subject to the following:
· Repurchase Transactions shall be entered into pursuant to one or more written agreements between the Bank, as agent for the Lender, as buyer, and each counterparty, as seller (each a “Counterparty”) substantially in the form of the Bond Market Association Master Repurchase Agreement (“Repurchase Agreement”).
· Repurchase obligations of each Counterparty shall be collateralized at not less than 102% and shall be collateralized with (i.e., Purchased Securities, as defined in the Repurchase Agreement, shall consist of) securities issued or fully guaranteed by the
United States Treasury; United States government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the of the United States government
· Repurchase Transactions shall not have a final maturity date (i.e., Repurchase Date) longer than one business day as of the date of initiation of any Repurchase Transaction.
· Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement if for any reason a Counterparty to any Repurchase Transaction (as defined below) entered into by the Bank, as Buyer, on behalf of the Lender pursuant hereto shall fail to redeliver to the Bank the Purchase Price upon the termination of such Repurchase Transaction (i.e., the Repurchase Date) as and when required, the Bank shall promptly sell the Purchased Securities held by the Bank in respect of such Repurchase Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner and immediately deposit the proceeds of such sale (“Proceeds”) to the Collateral Account. If the Proceeds are less than the Purchase Price required to have been redelivered by the Counterparty to the Bank on the Repurchase Date, the Bank shall, at Bank’s cost and expense, promptly deposit the amount of such difference to the Collateral Account. The term “Repurchase Transaction” means each transaction entered into between the Bank, as agent for the Lender, and a Counterparty under the terms of a Repurchase Agreement pursuant to which the Counterparty initially transfers securities to the Bank (the “Purchased Securities”), for the account of the Lender and the Bank transfers cash to the Counterparty (the “Purchase Price”). Lender agrees, without the execution of any documents or the giving of any notice, that Bank is and will remain subrogated to all of Lender’s rights under the relevant Repurchase Agreement to the extent of any payment, loss or expense or credit by the Bank pursuant hereto including, but not limited to, Lender’s rights with respect to Purchased Securities held in respect of any such Repurchase Transaction. Lender agrees to execute and deliver to Bank such documents as Bank may reasonably require and otherwise to co-operate reasonably with Bank to effectuate the forgoing subrogation. If for any reason the Bank cannot assert any such rights and remedies against the Counterparty to any such Repurchase Transaction and/or its successors and assigns in its own right, the Lender shall, at the expense of the Bank, file and prosecute such complaints and lawsuits and take such action as the Bank may reasonably request in connection with the recovery of any such payment, loss or expense and shall otherwise cooperate reasonably with the Bank in any such claim or litigation.
