THIS LIQUIDITY AGREEMENT, dated as of July 28, 2016 (this "Agreement"), is by and between each FUND LISTED ON SCHEDULE A OF THIS AGREEMENT, acting solely with respect to each of its series listed on such Schedule A, or, if no such series is listed, acting on its own behalf, severally and not jointly (each such series and each registered investment company for which no series is listed, a "Fund"), and STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY( "State Street").

This Agreement shall for all purposes to constitute a separate and discrete agreement between State Street and each Fund, and no Fund shall be responsible or liable for any other Fund (whether or not a part of the same investment company) under this Agreement or otherwise.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, each Fund and State Street, in its capacity as custodian for each Fund (in such capacity, and including its successors and assigns from time to time, the "Custodian") have entered into the Custody Agreement (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to which State Street acts as custodian of the cash, securities and other financial assets of the Fund (collectively, the "Fund Assets");

WHEREAS, each Fund wishes to borrow or otherwise have access to funds on a revolving basis in connection with the purchase, sale, carrying or trading of securities by each Fund; and

WHEREAS, State Street is willing to facilitate access to funds by each Fund by (a) arranging, as agent for such Fund, Securities Loan Transactions (as hereinafter defined) with respect to Available Securities (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Securities Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined), (b) arranging, as agent for such Fund, Repurchase Transactions (as hereinafter defined) with respect to Available Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Repurchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined), (c) making Funding Loans (as hereinafter defined) to such Fund secured by Fund Assets or (d) any combination of the foregoing in such proportions as State Street, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine at any time and from time to time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth or incorporated herein, each Fund and State Street hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

LIQUIDITY COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1 The Liquidity Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, a Fund may request from State Street, and, upon the request of such Fund, State Street hereby agrees to make available to the Fund, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, funding (including any requested amounts) in an aggregate amount, taking into consideration all previously funded and returned amounts, up to, but not exceeding, the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Liquidity Commitment for the Fund (such lesser amount, the "Commitment Amount"), but only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of all funding outstanding to a Fund shall not cause the Fund to (i) have an aggregate amount of Debt outstanding that is in excess of the Maximum Amount or (ii) be in default of the Asset Coverage Test, in each case in effect at such time. Any such request shall be referred to as a "Draw-down Request" and any funding made available to the requesting Fund pursuant to a Draw-down Request shall be referred to as a "Draw-down". A Fund may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the amounts of Draw-downs made to such Fund pursuant to this Agreement by repaying such amounts to State Street pursuant to Section 5.2 and, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, make new Draw-downs.

Section 2.2 Notice of Draw-down. The requesting Fund shall deliver to State Street (a) a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (a "Notice of Draw-down") not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to each proposed Draw-down specifying the proposed Draw-down Date, which shall be a Business Day, and the amount (the "Draw-down Amount") of such Draw-down. Such Notice of Draw-down shall not thereafter be revocable by the requesting Fund and shall obligate such Fund to accept the funds requested from State Street on the Draw-down Date. Each Draw-down under this Section 2.2 shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to an Approved Liquidity Draw-down Amount. Each Draw-down shall mature and become due and payable as provided in Article 5.

Section 2.3 Funding of Draw-down. (a) State Street may fund any Draw-down with the proceeds of one or more Funding Loans, Securities Loan Transactions or Xxxxxxxxxx

Transactions or any combination of the foregoing as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Unless State Street determines that any applicable condition specified in this Article II, Article VI or otherwise in this Agreement has not been satisfied or waived with respect to any Draw-down, State Street shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Draw-down Date of each Draw-down, make available to the requesting Fund by depositing into the relevant Fund's custodial account, funds received from the funding sources selected by State Street pursuant to Section 2.3(a).

Section 2.4 Refunding and Refinancing of Funding Sources.

(a) So long as any Draw-down remains outstanding, State Street may, at any time and from time to time, including following the occurrence of an Event of Default or the delivery by either party of a notice of termination (the "Notice of Termination"), refund or refinance the principal amount thereof through Repo-style Transactions or Funding Loans without requiring any further action or consent of, or notice to, the Fund, provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, State Street will not refund or refinance, through a Repo-style Transaction, the principal amount of any Draw-down that is the subject of a Notice of Termination if such refunding or refinancing, as the case may be, is to occur within fifteen (15) days of the Commitment Termination Date for the relevant Draw-down. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Draw-down that is either new during such fifteen (15) day period or outstanding at the time of the Notice of Termination but is not subject to the Notice of Termination, State Street retains all rights to refund or refinance the principal amount thereof through Repo-style Transactions or Funding Loans without requiring any further action or consent of, or notice to, the Fund. Such refundings and refinancings may be made in the sole and absolute discretion of State Street and may include any combination of the following: (i) terminating, unwinding or otherwise disposing of one or more existing Repo-style Transactions, (ii) entering into one or more new Repo-style Transactions, (iii) repaying outstanding Funding Loans and (iv) making new Funding Loans. In each case, State Street shall apply the proceeds of such transactions to satisfy the obligations of other of such transactions in such manner so that the Draw-down Amount outstanding remains unchanged. Such refundings and refinancings shall not require a Notice of Draw-down and shall be considered part of and authorized by any or all outstanding Notices of Draw-down.

(b) Any Repo-style Transaction entered into by State Street pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be entered into by State Street solely as agent for the Fund, and State Street shall have no liability with respect to such Repo-style Transaction other than as agent for the Fund under the applicable Securities Financing Agreement and under this Agreement.

(c) State Street shall be authorized to determine at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and without any liability to the Fund the source or combination of sources by which any Draw-down is funded or financed under this Agreement. The Fund acknowledges and agrees that, without limiting the discretion granted to State Street under this Section 2.4, in exercising such discretion, State Street will likely seek to minimize the outstanding principal amount of Funding Loans and maximize the proportion of the Aggregate Draw-down Amount allocated to Repo-style Transactions.

Section 2.5 Fees for Repo-style Transactions and Interest on Funding Loans.

On each Monthly Payment Date, the Fund will pay to State Street an amount equal to the sum of the Aggregate Monthly Payment and the Non-usage Fee, if any, with respect to the related Monthly Calculation Period. The Fund acknowledges and agrees that State Street will realize a profit based on the difference between (i) the portion of the Aggregate Monthly Payment attributable to Repo-style Transactions received by State Street and (ii) the Rebate Payments paid by State Street pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Overdrafts; Overdue Payments. (a) State Street may, but will not be obligated to, advance funds (an "Overdraft") on behalf of the Fund to meet Obligations of the Fund under Repo-style Transactions without notice to the Fund. If, at any time that (i) (A) the Aggregate Draw-down Amount is equal to or exceeds the Commitment Amount, (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing or (C) State Street otherwise is not obligated to fund a Draw-down and (ii) (A) any Repo-style Transaction is unwound or terminated or (B) the Fund is otherwise required to return any Securities Loan Collateral to a Securities Borrower, then State Street may, but will not be obligated to, fund an Overdraft on behalf of the Fund to meet any such return or payment obligation and each such Overdraft shall accrue interest daily at the Default Rate. The term "Overdraft" shall include any and all such interest accrued in accordance with this Section 2.6(a). Each Overdraft shall be repayable on demand.

(b) All overdue amounts payable under the Draw-down Documents (including, without limitation, any overdue principal of the Funding Loans (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any overdue interest on the Funding Loans and any overdue fees on the Repo-style Transactions) shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but not including the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

Section 2.7 Security Interest. (a) Each Fund shall at all times place and maintain all of its assets in the custody of the Custodian other than, solely with respect to Midas Magic and Midas Fund, any cash on deposit in a deposit account Midas Magic or Midas Fund, as the case may be, maintains with The Huntington National Bank ("Huntington") so long as (i) the assets in the applicable deposit account with Huntington consist solely of either (x) cash subscription proceeds received by the applicable Fund from its investors (the "Subscription Proceeds"), (y) cash deposited in such account by the Custodian which is to be used to promptly fund a redemption request which is made and has not yet been funded (such amounts being hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Funds") or (z) cash deposited in such account by the Custodian which is to be used promptly to fund fees owing to National Securities Clearing Corporation (the "NSCC Funds"); (ii) all Subscription Proceeds are immediately (but in any event not later than the second Business Day after which such Subscription Proceeds are received) sent to the applicable Fund's account maintained with the Custodian; (iii) no Redemption Funds are deposited in any such account prior to a redemption request having been made and not prior to one Business Day prior to the date such redemption will be honored and, to the extent such redemption request is rescinded or otherwise not being funded, such Redemption Funds are immediately returned to the applicable Fund's account maintained with the Custodian; (iv) no NSCC Funds are deposited into such account prior to one Business Day

prior to the date the fees owing to National Securities Clearing Corporation to which such NSCC Funds relate are due; and (v) such assets not held in custody with State Street are held in accordance with, and in compliance with, the Investment Company Act (including any no-action letters thereunder). To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Fund grants to State Street a first priority security interest in all cash and all securities and other financial assets at any time held for the account of such Fund by or through State Street, whether as Custodian or otherwise (collectively, the "Collateral"). If an Event of Default shall have occurred, State Street shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and other applicable law, including the right to apply the Collateral consisting of available cash and to sell or otherwise dispose of the non-cash Collateral to the extent necessary to obtain payment or reimbursement for an Obligation. State Street, as Custodian, may at any time decline to follow "Proper Instructions" under and as defined in the Custody Agreement to deliver out cash, securities or other financial assets if State Street determines in its reasonable discretion that, after giving effect to the Proper Instructions, the cash, securities or other financial assets remaining will not have sufficient value fully to secure the Obligations, whether contingent or otherwise. State Street's recourse to the Collateral of any Fund will not exceed the amount of the Obligations owing by such Fund.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Fund hereby irrevocably appoints State Street as its attorney in fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Fund and in the name of such Fund or otherwise, at any time and from time to time, in the sole and absolute discretion of State Street to identify and designate for purposes of this Agreement, certain Collateral in an amount set forth in this Section 2.7(b) as securities allocated specifically for Obligations relating to the Funding Loans by State Street on its custodial or other books and records in accordance with the internal processes and procedures of State Street. The assets so designated are herein referred to as "Memo Pledged Collateral". State Street is authorized to designate Collateral as Memo Pledged Collateral daily such that for all Funds other than Midas Magic and Midas Fund, the aggregate Adjusted Market Value of the Memo Pledged Collateral is equal to Obligations relating to Funding Loans and with respect to Midas Fund and Midas Magic, the aggregate Adjusted Market Value of the Memo Pledged Collateral is equal to the Aggregate Draw-down Amounts for such Fund. Each Fund ratifies and confirms any designation so made by State Street.

(c) The Memo Pledged Collateral will be Collateral also for all purposes of Section 2.7(a). If an Event of Default shall have occurred, State Street shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and other applicable law in respect of all of the Collateral, including the right to dispose of the Memo Pledged Collateral to the extent necessary to obtain payment for the obligations relating to the Funding Loans. State Street as Custodian may at any time decline to follow "Proper Instructions" under and as defined in the Custody Agreement to deliver out any Memo Pledged Collateral during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default or, if no Default or Event of Default is continuing, unless other securities of the Fund satisfactory to State Street are designated as replacement for the Memo Pledged Collateral under Section 2.7(b).

(d) Each Fund hereby irrevocably authorizes State Street at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial

financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) describes the Collateral, and (b) provides any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or such other jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Fund is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Fund. Each Fund agrees to furnish any such information to State Street promptly upon State Street's request.

Section 2.8 Termination of Commitments. The Liquidity Commitment permanently shall reduce to $0 on the Commitment Termination Date.

ARTICLE III

REPO-STYLE TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.1 Appointment of State Street as Agent.

(a) Each Fund hereby appoints and authorizes State Street as its agent to enter into Repo-style Transactions using Available Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. State Street shall, as agent, have the responsibility and authority to do or cause to be done all acts as shall be reasonably desirable, necessary or appropriate to enter Repo-style Transactions as agent for and on behalf of such Fund and otherwise to implement and administer its agency securities lending and repurchase program. Each Fund agrees that State Street is acting as agent for such Fund and not as principal in connection with any Repo-style Transaction, whether acting on a disclosed, partially disclosed or undisclosed basis and that such Fund is the principal party to each Repo-style Transaction. State Street shall have no liability with respect to such Repo-style Transaction other than as agent for such Fund under the applicable Securities Financing Agreement and under this Agreement.

(b) Each Fund also authorizes State Street, as its agent, to enter into "fee for hold" arrangements with a Securities Borrower with respect to certain Available Securities pursuant to which State Street may, in return for a fee, hold and reserve certain Available Securities and refrain from lending such Available Securities without the permission of the Securities Borrower.

Section 3.2 Rebate Reimbursements. In consideration of each Fund paying the portion of the Aggregate Monthly Payment attributable to Repo-style Transactions, State Street agrees to pay to each Counterparty to an outstanding Repo-style Transaction, for so long as the Repo-style Transaction remains outstanding under this Agreement and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the current fees (including rebates) payable to such Counterparty under the Securities Financing Agreement (the "Rebate Payments"). The Rebate Payments will not constitute Funding Loans or other extension of credit by State Street to a Fund, and any Aggregate Monthly Payment in excess of the Rebate Payments made by State Street as required by this Section 3.2 may be retained by State Street for its own account without any obligation to report to such Fund the amount of any such excess. State Street shall be entitled to retain 100% of any "negative rebates" (i.e. fees that are paid by Counterparties to Fund in connection with a Repo-Style Transaction) that may arise in connection with Repo-style Transactions.

Section 3.3 Approved Counterparties. Each Fund hereby authorizes State Street to enter into Repo-style Transactions of Available Securities with any Counterparty set forth on Schedule B-1 or Schedule B-2 hereto, as applicable. A Fund may not restrict lending of Available Securities to any Counterparty or place limits on the notional dollar amount of Repo-style Transactions permitted to be entered into by State Street, as agent, with any particular Counterparty, unless the applicable Fund provides State Street with at least one hundred seventy nine (179) days' prior written notice.

Section 3.4 Authority to Enter into Securities Financing Agreements. Each Fund authorizes State Street, as agent, to enter into one or more Securities Financing Agreements on behalf of such Fund with any Counterparty on such terms and conditions as State Street shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Subject to Section 11.11, State Street agrees to provide the applicable Fund with a copy of any Securities Financing Agreement entered into with any Counterparty upon request.

Section 3.5 Administration of Repo-style Transactions.

(a) State Street shall be responsible for determining when and whether any Repo-style Transaction shall be entered into and for negotiating and establishing the terms of each such Repo-style Transaction. State Street shall have the authority to terminate any Repo-style Transaction in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time and without prior notice to the applicable Fund. In the event of a default by a Counterparty with respect to any Repo-style Transaction, within the meaning of the applicable Securities Financing Agreement, State Street shall be fully protected in acting in any manner it reasonably deems appropriate under the circumstances and shall be entitled when taking or refraining from taking any such action with respect to a Securities Borrower or Repurchase Transaction Counterparty to consider the interests of the agency securities lending and repurchase programs as a whole. Except as explicitly provided herein, no Fund shall have authority to direct State Street as to how, when or whether to effect or terminate any Repo-style Transaction.

(b) State Street may administer securities lending, repurchase and liquidity programs for other clients of State Street. State Street will allocate opportunities among clients in connection with such programs as State Street shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. No Fund shall have a claim against State Street and State Street shall have no liability arising from, based on or relating to Repo-style Transactions entered into in connection with securities lending, repurchase or liquidity programs administered for other clients or securities loan or repurchase opportunities refused in connection with this Agreement, whether or not State Street has entered into fewer or more securities loan or repurchase transactions in connection with any such other program, and whether or not any securities loan or repurchase transaction entered into in connection with such other program, or the opportunity refused, could have resulted in a Repo-style Transaction made under this Agreement.

(c) Under the applicable Securities Financing Agreement, the Counterparty will not be required to return any Financed Security immediately upon receipt of notice from State Street terminating the applicable Repo-style Transaction, but, other than in connection with Repo-Style transactions that have a specified term, instead will be required to return such security within such period of time following such notice as is specified in the applicable Securities Financing Agreement and in no event later than the earlier of the end of the customary settlement period for the Financed Security or five (5) Business Days following such notice. Upon receiving a notice from the applicable Fund that Available Securities that are the subject of a Repo-style Transaction should no longer be considered Available Securities, whether because of the sale of such securities or otherwise, State Street shall promptly notify such Counterparty that the Repo-style Transaction involving such Available Securities is terminated and that such Available Securities are to be returned within the time specified by the applicable Securities Financing Agreement and in no event later than the earlier of the end of the customary settlement period for the Financed Security or five (5) Business Days following such notice. With respect to Repo-Style transactions that have a specified term, the Counterparty will not be required to return the Financed Security until the expiration of the term.

Section 3.6 Distributions on and Voting Rights in Respect of Financed Securities.

(a) All substitute interest, dividends and other distributions paid with respect to any Financed Security shall be credited to the applicable Fund on the date that such amounts are delivered by the Counterparty to State Street. Any non-cash distribution on any Financed Security which is in the nature of a stock split or a stock dividend shall be treated in the manner provided for in the applicable Securities Financing Agreement with the Counterparty. The applicable Fund will not be entitled to participate in any dividend reinvestment program or to vote with respect to any Financed Security on the applicable record date for such Financed Security.

(b) Any payments of distributions from a Counterparty to a Fund are in substitution for the interest or dividend accrued or paid in respect of any Financed Security. The tax and accounting treatment of such payment may differ from the tax and accounting treatment of such interest or dividend. The applicable Fund shall have sole responsibility for determining the tax and accounting treatment of any such payments of distributions, transfers of securities or other amounts received or paid pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) If an installment, call or rights issue becomes payable on or in respect of any Financed Security in connection with a Securities Loan Transaction, State Street shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any timely instructions from the applicable Fund are complied with, but State Street shall not be obligated to make any payment unless such Fund has first provided State Street with funds sufficient to make such payment in full.

(d) If a dividend on a security is paid on a Financed Security by an issuer that is a resident of France, the applicable Fund will not be entitled to receive, either from the issuer or the Counterparty, any additional dividends (sometimes referred to as "complementary coupons") declared and payable by such company that are equivalent to a tax credit adjustment (such as "credit d'impot étranger").

(e) Each Fund will be required to accept cash in lieu of fractional shares in all instances in which an issuer does not issue fractional shares.

(f) Each Fund acknowledges and agrees that it may not receive its full entitlement if the Counterparty does not return shares to such Fund prior to the date on which income,

dividends or other distributions are paid with respect to such Financed Security, or, in the case of registered securities, the date by reference to which particular registered holders are identified as being entitled to payment of such income, dividend or distributions and the Counterparty is taxed at a less favorable rate than such Fund. State Street cannot guarantee that a Counterparty will return the Financed Securities upon receipt of notice. Each Fund acknowledges and agrees that under a Repurchase Agreement the Counterparty will not indemnify such Fund for losses caused by the Counterparty's failure to comply with State Street's request to transfer equivalent securities in respect of any Financed Securities prior to the date on which income, dividends or other distributions are paid with respect to such Financed Securities, or, in the case of registered securities, the date by reference to which particular registered holders are identified as being entitled to payment of such distributions. State Street will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Repurchase Agreement will contain a provision such that in such cases, Counterparty would be obligated to pay to the applicable Fund (i) a sum of money or property equivalent to the type and amount of such income that such Fund would have been entitled to receive had such Financed Securities been retained by such Fund on such income payment date, and (ii) a sum of money equivalent to any reclaims or tax credits with respect to withholding tax at source on actual distribution made by the issuer which may otherwise have been available to such Fund had it received the actual distribution made by the issuer.

(g) Each Fund also acknowledges that, with respect to payments of distributions from a Counterparty, such Fund will generally not be entitled to any credits, including foreign tax credits, for any income tax that would normally be withheld at source on actual distributions of income made by the issuer of a Financed Security. Each Fund further acknowledges that, unless otherwise agreed, payments of distributions from a Counterparty will be determined by reference to Applicable Law as of the date of each payment and no adjustment will be made to amounts paid by such Counterparty as a result of any retroactive change in Applicable Law that is announced or enacted after the date of the relevant payment or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction which is made after the date of the relevant payment (other than where such decision results from an action taken with respect to this Agreement or amounts paid or payable under this Agreement).

Section 3.7 Securities Financing Proceeds.

(a) Each Fund hereby authorizes and directs State Street to receive Securities Loan Collateral and Repurchase Transaction Proceeds, in each case consisting of Dollars (collectively, "Securities Financing Proceeds") and use all of such Securities Financing Proceeds as a source of funding for one or more Draw-downs. State Street shall receive Securities Financing Proceeds from the Counterparty concurrently with or prior to the delivery of the Financed Security to such Counterparty.

(b) The Securities Loan Collateral initially received from a Securities Borrower shall have, depending on the nature of the Financed Security, a value of at least 102% or 105% of the Market Value of the Financed Security, or such other value, but not less than 102% of the Market Value of the Financed Security (the "Margin Percentage"), as may be applicable in the jurisdiction in which such Financed Security are customarily traded.

(c) Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Securities Loan Agreement, State Street shall, in accordance with State Street's reasonable and customary practices, xxxx Loaned Securities and Collateral to their Market Value each business day based upon the Market Value of the Collateral and the Loaned Securities at the close of business employing the most recently available pricing information and receive and deliver Collateral in order to maintain the value of the Collateral at no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Market Value of the Loaned Securities.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3.7 apply to Securities Loan Transactions only and not Repurchase Transactions. Subject to Section 3.4 hereof, as is customary in Repurchase Transactions, a Counterparty may not be subject to any requirement to deliver additional cash in the event the market value of the Financed Security was greater than the initial cash received under the Repurchase Transaction. The Fund further acknowledges and agrees that the value of the cash State Street receives on the Fund's behalf pursuant to the Repurchase Transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be lower than the Market Value of the Financed Securities delivered to the Repurchase Transaction Counterparty by State Street on the Fund's behalf.

(e) Investment of Securities Financing Proceeds; Draw-down Amounts. State Street shall not be responsible for any investment by a Fund of Securities Financing Proceeds or any other Draw-down Amounts by such Fund. If the value of any proceeds so invested is insufficient to return any and all other amounts due to the relevant Counterparty pursuant to the applicable Securities Financing Agreement or otherwise under this Agreement, such Fund shall be responsible for satisfying such shortfall.

Section 3.8 Return of Securities Financing Proceeds. The Securities Financing Proceeds shall be transferred to the relevant Counterparty at the termination of the Repo-style Transaction upon the return of any Financed Security by the Counterparty to State Street in accordance with the applicable Securities Financing Agreement. Each Fund hereby authorizes and directs State Street, without requiring any further action or consent of such Fund, to fund the return or payment of such Securities Financing Proceeds to the Counterparty by entering into one or more Repo-style Transactions or by extending financing to such Fund in the form of a Funding Loan or by some combination of the foregoing, in each case that will generate financing with a principal amount equal to the amount or value of such Securities Financing Proceeds. Such funding of the return or payment of Securities Financing Proceeds to a Counterparty shall not require a Notice of Draw-down and shall be considered part of and authorized by any or all outstanding Notices of Draw-down.

Section 3.9 Limitation on Liability. State Street shall not be responsible for any statement, representation, warranty or covenant made by any Securities Borrower or Repurchase Transaction Counterparty in connection with any Repo-style Transaction or for the performance or failure to perform by any Counterparty under a Securities Loan Agreement or Repurchase Agreement or any related agreement, including, without limitation, the failure to make any required payment or delivery. State Street shall have no liability with respect to any Repo-style Transaction other than as agent for the Fund under the applicable Securities Financing

Agreement and under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 3.10 Securities Loan Transaction Borrower Default Indemnity

(a) If at the time of a default (within the meaning of the applicable Securities Loan Agreement and not this Agreement) by a Securities Borrower under a Securities Loan Agreement with respect to a Securities Loan Transaction, some or all of the Financed Securities under such Securities Loan Transaction have not been returned by the Securities Borrower then, subject to the terms of this Agreement, State Street shall indemnify the applicable Fund against the failure of the Securities Borrower as follows: State Street shall purchase a number of Replacement Securities equal to the number of such unreturned Financed Securities, to the extent that such Replacement Securities are available on the open market. Such Replacement Securities shall be purchased by applying the Securities Loan Collateral with respect to such Securities Loan Transaction (which such Securities Loan Collateral shall be returned to State Street by the applicable Fund upon request) to the purchase of such Replacement Securities. Subject to such Fund's assumption of all risk of loss on the reinvested Securities Loan Collateral, if and to the extent that such Securities Loan Collateral is insufficient, the purchase of such Replacement Securities shall be made at State Street's expense.

(b) If State Street is unable to purchase Replacement Securities pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, State Street shall credit to the applicable Fund's relevant account an amount equal to the Market Value of the unreturned Financed Securities for which Replacement Securities are not so purchased, determined as of (i) the last day the Securities Loan Collateral continues to be successfully marked to market against the unreturned Financed Securities; or (ii) the next Business Day following the day referred to in (i) above, if higher.

(c) In addition to making the purchases or credits required by subsections (a) and (b) hereof, State Street shall credit to the applicable Fund's relevant account the value of all distributions on the Financed Securities (not otherwise credited to such Fund's accounts with State Street), the record dates for which occur before the date that State Street purchases Replacement Securities pursuant to subsection (a) hereof or credits such Fund's relevant account pursuant to subsection (b) hereof.

(d) Any credits required under subsections (b) and (c) hereof shall be made by application of the proceeds of the Securities Loan Collateral (if any) that remains after the purchase of Replacement Securities pursuant to subsection (a) hereof. If the value of the remaining Securities Loan Collateral is less than the value of the sum of the credits required to be made under subsections (b) and (c), such credits shall be made at State Street's expense.

(e) If after application of subsections (a) through (d) hereof, additional Securities Loan Collateral remains or any previously unavailable Securities Loan Collateral becomes available or any additional amounts owed by the Securities Borrower with respect to such Securities Loan Transaction are received from the Securities Borrower, State Street shall apply such Securities Loan Collateral or such additional amounts first to reimburse itself for any amounts expended by State Street pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) above, and then to credit to the applicable Fund's relevant account all other amounts owed by the Securities

Borrower to such Fund with respect to such Securities Loan Transaction under the applicable Securities Loan Agreement.

(f) In the event that State Street is required to make any payment and/or incur any loss or expense under this Section, State Street shall, to the extent of such payment, loss, or expense, be subrogated to, and succeed to, all of the rights of the applicable Fund against the Securities Borrower under the applicable Securities Loan Agreement. The applicable Fund will, at the request of State Street, execute and deliver to State Street any confirmatory assignment or other instrument that State Street determines to be necessary or advisable to enable State Street to enforce any right to which State Street is subrogated.

FUNDING LOANS

Section 4.1 Funding Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement), State Street agrees to make Funding Loans to or on behalf of a Fund from time to time during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Commitment Termination Date such that the aggregate principal amount of all Funding Loans outstanding to any Fund shall not exceed at any time the Net Commitment Amount (the "Funding Loan Commitment").

Section 4.2 Accounts; Notes; Records. (a) The Funding Loans made by State Street to a Fund shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by State Street in the ordinary course of business. Each Fund irrevocably authorizes State Street to make or cause to be made, at or about the date of the Funding Loan made to such Fund or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal of the Funding Loan made by such Fund, an appropriate notation on its accounts or records, including computer records, reflecting the making of the Funding Loan by State Street or, as the case may be, the receipt by State Street of such payment on the Funding Loan by such Fund. The accounts or records, including any computer records, of State Street with respect to the Funding Loans made by it to a Fund, the outstanding amount of such Funding Loans, the interest rates applicable thereto, each payment or deemed payment by such Fund of principal and interest on the Funding Loans made to such Fund and fees, as well as any expenses and any other amounts due and payable by such Fund in connection with this Agreement and the other Funding Loan Documents shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of such recorded information with respect to the Funding Loans, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such account or record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of such Fund hereunder or under the Funding Loan Documents to make payments of principal of and interest on the Funding Loans when due and payable.

(b) If, in the opinion of State Street, a promissory note or other evidence of debt is required, appropriate or desirable to reflect or enforce the obligations of a Fund resulting from the Funding Loans made, or to be made, by State Street, then, upon request of State Street, the applicable Fund shall promptly execute and deliver to State Street, a promissory note (each, a "Note" and, collectively, the "Notes") substantially in the form of Exhibit II attached hereto, payable to State Street in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Funding Loans, plus interest thereon as provided below.

Section 4.3 General Provisions as to Payments. (a) Each Fund shall make each payment of principal and interest on the Funding Loans and all other amounts due hereunder not later than (i) 3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date when due, in Dollars and in Federal or other funds immediately available, to State Street at its address referred to in Section 11.3. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Funding Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall accrue during such extension. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) All payments by a Fund hereunder and under any of the other Funding Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Fund is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon a Fund with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Funding Loan Documents, such Fund will pay to State Street, for the account of State Street, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Funding Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable State Street to receive the same net amount which State Street would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon such Fund. To the extent received from the appropriate taxing authority, the applicable Fund will deliver promptly to State Street certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Fund hereunder or under such other Funding Loan Document.

Section 4.4 Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

Any such repayment must be accompanied by payment of any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

Section 5.3 Mandatory Prepayment of Funding Loans.

ARTICLE X

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 10.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a) If any new law, rule or regulation, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any Applicable Law, rule or regulation, or treaty or directive by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by State Street with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency in connection therewith issued, promulgated or enacted after the date hereof shall:

(i) subject State Street to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Funding Loans, its Note or its Liquidity Commitment or its Funding Loan Commitment, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to State Street of the principal of or interest on its Funding Loans or any other amounts (e.g., interests or fees) due under this Agreement or its Liquidity Commitment or Funding Loan Commitment, in each case except for any tax on, or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of, or franchise taxes payable by, State Street imposed by the jurisdiction in which State Street's principal office is located; or

(ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, State Street or shall impose on State Street any other condition affecting its Funding Loans, its Note or its Liquidity Commitment or Funding Loan Commitment; or

(iii) impose on State Street any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement or any Funding Loan Document, the Funding Loans or its Liquidity Commitment or Funding Loan Commitment;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to State Street of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any Funding Loan or its Liquidity Commitment or Funding Loan Commitment, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by State Street under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto or any Funding Loan Document, by an amount deemed by State Street in its sole discretion to be material, then, promptly upon demand by State Street, and in any event within thirty (30) days after demand by State Street, the applicable Fund shall pay to State Street the additional amount or amounts as will compensate State Street for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, the Xxxx‑Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, shall be deemed to have been adopted and become effective after the date hereof.

(b) If State Street shall determine that any change after the date hereof in any existing Applicable Law, rule or regulation or any new law, rule or regulation regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any new request or directive of general applicability regarding liquidity or capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency issued, promulgated or enacted after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of State Street (or its parent corporation) as a consequence of the Funding Loans or the other obligations of State Street hereunder to a level below that which State Street (or its parent corporation) could have achieved but for such law, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by State Street to be material, then from time to time, promptly upon demand by State Street, and in any event within thirty (30) days after demand by State Street, the applicable Fund shall pay to State Street such additional amount or amounts as will compensate State Street (or its parent corporation) for such reduction.

(c) State Street will promptly notify the applicable Fund of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle State Street to compensation pursuant to this Section 10.1 and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of State Street, be otherwise disadvantageous to State Street. A certificate of State Street claiming compensation under this Section 10.1 and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the calculations used in determining such additional amount or amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, State Street may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any failure or delay on the part of State Street to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall not constitute a waiver of State Street's right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the applicable Fund shall not be required to compensate State Street pursuant to this Section 10.1 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that State Street notifies such Fund of the change or other matter giving rise thereto and of State Street's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the change or other matter giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 10.2 Illegality. If any future Applicable Law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change in any present or future Applicable Law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any present or future Applicable Law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by State Street with any new request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for State Street to make, maintain or fund the Funding Loans, State Street shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Funds, whereupon until State Street notifies the Funds that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the Liquidity Commitment and the Funding Loan Commitment of State Street shall forthwith be suspended. If State Street shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Funding Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Fund shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the Funding Loan, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount payable by such Fund pursuant to Section 10.3.
