The Parties shall agree on the terms of each Securities Loan, including the identity and amount of the securities to be lent, the duration of the Securities Loan, the basis of compensation, the type and amount of Securities Loan Collateral to be delivered by the Borrower and the method by which such Securities Loan Collateral is to be delivered by the Borrower to State Street, which terms may be amended during the period of the Securities Loan only by mutual agreement of the Parties hereto.

The Borrower agrees that it shall be responsible for promptly examining each monthly statement for accuracy and correctness of the contents thereof and advising State Street of any errors or exceptions therein within twenty (20) days after delivery of any such statement. The foregoing shall not be construed to prevent the Parties from mutually agreeing to amend or correct such monthly statements and the relevant custodial or other books and records of State Street if there has been manifest error or willful misconduct in the preparation thereof.

3. Deliveries and Treatment of Securities Loan Collateral.

3.1 No later than the Collateral Transfer Day that is coincident with the Securities Trading Day upon which Borrowed Securities are to be transferred to the Borrower as a Securities Loan, or such earlier date as is required by State Street and as may be applicable in the jurisdiction in which the relevant Borrowed Securities are customarily traded, the Borrower shall deliver to State Street Securities Loan Collateral of a type designated by State Street and having a Collateral Value not less than the Margin Percentage of the current Market Value of the Borrowed Securities. The Securities Loan Collateral shall be delivered by one or more of the following methods agreed to by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.1:

(a) the Borrower transferring cash funds by wire in the lawful currency of the Collateral Location, unless a different currency is agreed by the Parties at the time of the Securities Loan in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof;

3.2 [Reserved]

3.3 The Borrower may not assign, change, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of the Securities Loan Collateral or any rights therein to a Third Party.

3.4 The Securities Loan Collateral delivered by the Borrower to State Street, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.7 below, as well as any securities or other property delivered for the purposes of being Securities Loan Collateral but which does not qualify as Securities Loan Collateral because delivery did not comply with Applicable Law, shall be security for the due and punctual performance by the Borrower of any and all of its obligations to State Street hereunder, whether now or hereafter arising, and the Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants, to and for the benefit of State Street, as security for such obligations, a first priority security interest in all rights, title and interest of the Borrower in and to the Securities Loan Collateral. Such first priority security interest shall attach upon the delivery of the Securities Loan Collateral to State Street and survive the termination of this Agreement and cease to exist only upon the redelivery of the Securities Loan Collateral to the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to enter into such agreements, make such filings and take such other actions as may be reasonably required by State Street to take and perfect such security interest.

3.5 Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.5, it is understood that State Street may use, invest and re-hypothecate the Securities Loan Collateral in its sole discretion. To the extent that any Securities Loan Collateral is delivered by the Borrower to State Street through the identification and designation, on the custodial or other books and records of State Street relating to the Borrower, of Liquid Custodial Collateral as Securities Loan Collateral in accordance with Section 13.7 hereof, State Street shall not have the right to use, invest or re-hypothecate such Securities Loan Collateral, provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not be intended to preclude State Street from exercising any remedy provided for in Section 13 hereof with respect to such Securities Loan Collateral upon an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower.

3.6 With the prior approval of State Street which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Borrower may at any time substitute for any securities held by State Street as Securities Loan Collateral hereunder other Securities Loan Collateral of equal current Collateral Value to the securities for which it is to be substituted, provided, however, that the Borrower must first deliver the agreed upon substitute Securities Loan Collateral to State Street before the Borrower is entitled to receipt of the other securities then held by State Street as Securities Loan Collateral. The Borrower shall upon demand from State Street replace any debt security that has been delivered to State Street as Securities Loan Collateral by delivering to State Street other Securities Loan Collateral acceptable to State Street and of equal current Collateral Value to the debt security for which it is to be substituted. Any substitute Securities Loan Collateral delivered to State Street hereunder shall be considered Securities Loan Collateral for all purposes under this Agreement.

3.7 The Borrower shall be entitled, in the absence of any Event of Default by or with respect to the Borrower that has occurred and is continuing, to receive all distributions made on or in respect of non-cash Securities Loan Collateral, the payment dates for which are during the term of the Securities Loan and which are not otherwise received by the Borrower, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Securities Loan Collateral had not been delivered to State Street; provided, however, that the amount, type or value of such distribution that the Borrower is entitled to receive hereunder shall not exceed the amount, type and value actually received by State Street or its agents. Any distributions made on or in respect of such Securities Loan Collateral that the Borrower is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be paid in the same currency as such distribution is paid by the issuer and State Street shall pay such distributions to the Borrower forthwith upon receipt by State Street, so long as an Event of Default by or with respect to the Borrower has not occurred and is continuing at the time of such receipt by State Street. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, the Borrower acknowledges that distributions on Securities Loan Collateral may be afforded different treatment than the Borrower would have been so entitled had it not delivered the Securities Loan Collateral to State Street and hereby agrees not to make any claim against State Street for any disparate treatment as a result of its receiving the distribution from State Street as opposed to a distribution from the issuer directly. In addition, State Street shall reduce the amount of such distributions paid to the Borrower by any withholding or other taxes imposed or assessed with respect to such distributions and payments made to the Borrower in lieu of such distributions.

3.8 Except as provided in Sections 13 and 15 hereunder, State Street shall be obligated to return the Securities Loan Collateral to the Borrower immediately upon to the return to State Street of the Borrowed Securities.

3.9 The Borrower acknowledges that State Street is willing to act as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower in performing all of the obligations of the Borrower required by this Section 3. Accordingly, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs State Street to, at the sole expense of the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower as are necessary or appropriate to cause the Borrower to deliver Securities Loan Collateral to State Street pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 3. The Borrower may terminate its appointment of State Street as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.9 at any time upon written notice to that effect to State Street. State Street also may, in its sole discretion, cease to act as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Borrower.

4. Deliveries and Treatment of Borrowed Securities.

4.1 After the Borrower has delivered Securities Loan Collateral required by Section 3 hereof, State Street shall, on the Securities Trading Day agreed to by the Parties, deliver the Borrowed Securities to the Borrower or, in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower, to the agent of the Borrower, by one of the following methods, as agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.1:

(a) by delivering to the Borrower certificates representing the Borrowed Securities, together with such transfer documents as are customary for such Borrowed Securities;

(b) by causing the Borrowed Securities to be credited to an account designated by the Borrower at State Street;

(c) by causing the Borrowed Securities to be credited to an account designated by the Borrower at a Clearing Organization, which crediting and debiting shall result in receipt by the Borrower and State Street of a Clearing Organization notice that shall constitute a schedule of the Borrowed Securities hereunder; or

(d) by any other method customary for the delivery of such Borrowed Securities at the Securities Trading Location and agreed to by the Parties.

4.2 Except as provided in Section 4.3, the Borrower shall have and be entitled to exercise all of the incidents of ownership with respect to the Borrowed Securities, including the right to transfer the Borrowed Securities to others, until the Borrowed Securities are returned to State Street in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. It is the intention of the Borrower and State Street that full title and ownership of, in and to the Borrowed Securities shall pass to the Borrower upon the making of any Securities Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. State Street hereby waives the right to vote or to provide any consent or to take any similar action with respect to the Borrowed Securities in the event that the record date for such vote, consent or other action falls during the term of the Securities Loan. The Borrower and State Street acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit in any way the characterization of (a) a Securities Loan as a sale of the Borrowed Securities coupled with an obligation to repurchase Equivalent Securities or (b) the delivery of Securities Loan Collateral as the payment of the purchase price for Borrowed Securities.

4.3 State Street shall be entitled to receive and/or participate in all distributions (including payments upon maturity or other redemption) made on or in respect of the Borrowed Securities, the record and/or payable dates for which are during the term of the Securities Loan and which are not otherwise received by State Street, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Borrowed Securities had not been lent to the Borrower, including, but not limited to:

(a) all cash dividends;

(b) all other distributions of cash or property (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deemed distributions that give rise to tax credit entitlements for shareholders under Sections 852(b)(3)(D)(ii) and 857(b)(3)(D)(ii) of the Code and similar refundable tax credits);

(d) all securities received as a result of split ups, conversions, sub-divisions or consolidations of the Borrowed Securities and distributions in respect thereof;

(e) all interest payments;

(f) in the case of a rights issue, the Borrowed Securities together with all securities allotted thereon;

(g) in the case of a redemption, a sum of money equivalent to the proceeds of the redemption;

(h) any and all rights relating to or arising out of any conversion, sub-division, consolidation, preemption, takeover offer or similar events, including those requiring election by the holder for the time being of such securities which become exercisable prior to the redelivery of Borrowed Securities, in which event State Street may, within a reasonable time before the latest time for the exercise of the right, give written notice to the Borrower that on redelivery of the Borrowed Securities it wishes to receive securities in such form as if the right had been exercised or, in the case of a right which may be exercised in more than one manner, had been exercised as specified in such written notice;

(i) in the case of a capitalized issue, the Borrowed Securities together with all securities allotted by way of a bonus thereon;

(j) in the case of any event similar to any of the foregoing, the Borrowed Securities together with or replaced by a sum of money or securities equivalent to that received in respect of such Borrowed Securities resulting from such event; and

(k) all rights to purchase additional securities.

In regard to subparagraphs (f) through (j) above, the Borrower shall either (i) redeliver the Borrowed Securities in time to allow State Street to participate in the rights, payments or other benefits described therein or (ii) exercise or be deemed to have exercised such rights as will have been directed by State Street. In the event a re-registration process is necessary in order to transfer any rights, payments or other benefits that attach to the Borrowed Securities and a Securities Loan is terminated prior to the applicable record or payable date but not sufficiently prior to the record or payable date to enable State Street to re-register the Borrowed Securities in its own name, the Borrower shall forward, and act on behalf of State Street in accordance with the instructions of State Street with respect to, all such rights, payments or other benefits.

4.4 The Borrower shall pay to State Street all cash distributions, including without limitation cash dividends, made on or in respect of the Borrowed Securities in the same currency that the issuer of the Borrowed Security would have paid State Street in respect of such cash distribution, gross of any taxes in an amount equal to such cash distribution, together with interest on such amount and on accrued interest at the Prime Rate calculated daily from the payable date until such amount and such interest are paid in full. Any cash distribution made on or in respect of the Borrowed Securities that State Street is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be paid to State Street by the Borrower without demand on the payable, maturity or redemption date. Non cash distributions made on or in respect of the Borrowed Securities shall be added to the Borrowed Securities and shall be considered Borrowed Securities hereunder for all purposes, except that (a) if the Borrowed Securities have been returned to State Street or if an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower has occurred or is continuing hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly deliver any such non-cash distributions to State Street and (b) State Street may direct the Borrower, upon no less than six Business Days notice prior to the date of such a non cash distribution, to deliver the same to State Street on the Securities Trading Day next following the date of such non-cash distribution.

4.5 With respect to the right to purchase additional securities in Section 4.3(k) hereof, State Street may, at its sole option, (a) direct the Borrower to purchase additional securities or (b) terminate the Securities Loan giving rise to such rights so that State Street may exercise its purchase rights. In the case of clause (a) under the preceding sentence, the Borrower may elect either (i) to retain such additional securities as part of its Securities Loan, in which case State Street and the Borrower shall make such arrangements as are necessary to provide that the Borrower has adequate funds to purchase such additional securities and that the Securities Loan of such additional securities is collateralized as required by Section 3 hereof or (ii) to deliver such additional securities to State Street on the date specified by State Street, in which case State Street and the Borrower shall make such arrangements as are necessary to provide that the Borrower has adequate funds to purchase such additional securities. In the case of clause (b) of the next preceding sentence, the applicable provisions of this Agreement regarding terminations of Securities Loans shall apply.

4.6 The Borrower acknowledges that State Street is willing, at no additional charge, to act as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower in performing all of the obligations of the Borrower required by this Section 4. Accordingly, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs State Street to, at the sole expense of the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower as are necessary or appropriate to cause the Borrower to satisfy its obligations to State Street under this Section 4 and to comply with the instructions of State Street pursuant to this Section 4, including, without limitation, purchasing any such rights, securities or other assets on the relevant securities markets, executing any required foreign exchange transactions and debiting the custody or other accounts of the Borrower at State Street to settle any of the foregoing securities or foreign exchange transactions or to satisfy its delivery or payment obligations to State Street hereunder.

The fees and methods for determining any compensation to be paid to State Street for such purchases and foreign exchange transactions are set forth in Section 8 and Section 20 of this Agreement and the Borrower agrees that such fees and compensation are reasonable and fair in light of the services being provided by State Street pursuant to this Section 4.

12. Events of Default.

12.1 All Securities Loans between the Borrower and State Street may (at the option of the non-defaulting party, exercised by notice delivered to the defaulting party) be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more of the events listed in this Section 12 (individually, each such event an “Event of Default”):

(f) if State Street has its license, charter or other authorization necessary to conduct a material portion of its business withdrawn, suspended or revoked by any applicable federal or state government or agency thereof or it fails to maintain its required regulatory capital;

(g) if either Party breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any Collateral Document or any representation, warranty, certification or statement of fact made or deemed made by or on behalf of such Party in this Agreement or in any Collateral Document or in any document delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be materially incorrect or misleading when made or deemed made;

(h) if there is entered against the Borrower (i) a final judgment or order for the payment of money or (ii) any one or more non-monetary final judgments, in the case of each of clause (i) or (ii) that have, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(i) if the Borrower breaches the terms of any other contract, agreement or instrument entered into between the Borrower and State Street or any of its Affiliates or an event of default with respect to the Borrower occurs under any such other contract, agreement or instrument;

(j) if a material adverse change occurs, or is reasonably likely to occur, in the financial condition of the Borrower or any government authority takes action that State Street reasonably believes materially and adversely affects the financial condition of the Borrower or the ability of the Borrower to return Equivalent Securities upon termination of a Securities Loan; or

(k) if any provision of this Agreement or of any Collateral Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, ceases to be in full force and effect, or the Borrower contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, or the Borrower denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any provision of this Agreement or of any Collateral Document.

Furthermore, if any Event of Default occurs and the Borrower is the defaulting party, State Street may, by written notice to the Borrower, declare all fees hereunder, all interest accrued and unpaid hereunder, if any, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any Collateral Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency, all fees, interest and other amounts owing or payable hereunder as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without any further act of State Street.

13. State Street Remedies on Borrower Default.

13.1 In the event of any Event of Default by or with respect to the Borrower under Section 13 hereof, the Borrower waives the right to notice of disposition of Securities Loan Collateral and State Street shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or under Applicable Law, without further notice to the Borrower, at its option either (a) to purchase a like amount of Equivalent Securities in the principal market therefor in a commercially reasonable manner or (b) to elect to treat the Borrowed Securities as having been purchased by the Borrower at a purchase price equal to the Replacement Value. State Street may apply the Securities Loan Collateral to the payment of any purchase or deemed purchase in either clause (a) or clause (b) above, after deducting therefrom all amounts, if any, due State Street under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 4 and Section 8 hereof. In such event, the obligation of the Borrower to return the Borrowed Securities shall terminate. The Borrower shall be liable to State Street for the cost of funds that State Street advances to purchase such Equivalent Securities during any stay on the application of the Securities Loan Collateral, whether such stay is automatic or imposed by a court or other governmental agency.

13.2 In the event that either the purchase price of the Equivalent Securities or the Replacement Value, as applicable, exceeds the amount of the Securities Loan Collateral, the Borrower shall be liable to State Street for the amount of such excess (plus all other amounts, if any, due to State Street hereunder), together with interest on all such amounts at the Default Rate from the date of such purchase of the Equivalent Securities or the election by State Street to treat such Borrowed Securities as purchased by the Borrower until the date of payment by the Borrower of such excess amount. The purchase price of the Equivalent Securities purchased under this Section 13 shall include brokers’ fees and commissions, foreign exchange transaction costs, costs relating to entering into and terminating hedging transactions, and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by State Street and related to such purchase, including attorneys’ fees. Upon satisfaction of all obligations hereunder, any remaining Securities Loan Collateral shall be returned to the Borrower.

13.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower waives the right to notice of disposition of the Securities Loan Collateral and the Custodial Collateral and, in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity or contained in any other agreement between the Borrower and State Street, State Street may, without any notice to the Borrower, exercise in respect of the Securities Loan Collateral and the Custodial Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Securities Loan Collateral, Custodial Collateral, and under the relevant law of any other jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or to the Securities Loan Collateral, or the Custodial Collateral.

13.4 If State Street has enforced its remedies in whole or in part in respect of any Securities Loan and the Securities Loan Collateral and Custodial Collateral held in respect thereof, State Street shall apply the proceeds received from such enforcement against the obligations of the Borrower to State Street in respect of such Securities Loan and in payment of all other amounts, if any, due by the Borrower to State Street under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents. If the said proceeds of enforcement are insufficient to satisfy the foregoing obligations, the Borrower shall be liable to State Street for the amount of the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate from the date such deficiency arises until the date of payment of such deficiency.

13.5 The Borrower acknowledges that any sale of securities by State Street or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral Documents must occur in compliance with the relevant provisions of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time, and, to the extent applicable, similar legislation in other jurisdictions (the “Securities Laws”). Subject to the Securities Laws, State Street shall not be obliged to effect a public sale of securities and may sell securities pursuant to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire securities as principal and to comply with certain resale restrictions. State Street shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of securities for any period of time in order to permit the issuer thereof or any other Person to qualify such securities for public sale under the Securities Laws. State Street shall be under no obligation to sell securities as a “control block” or at a premium to the “market price”, in each case as such terms or similar concepts are defined, interpreted or contemplated under the applicable Securities Laws. The Borrower acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms which may be less favorable than a public sale or a control block sale and the Borrower agrees that any such sale shall not, solely for the foregoing reasons, be considered not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

00.0 Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall not be obligated to assert or enforce any Liens or any other rights granted hereunder, or to take any action in reference thereto, and may in its sole discretion at any time relinquish its rights hereunder as to particular property, in each case without thereby affecting or invalidating their rights hereunder as to all or any other property securing or purporting to secure any Securities Loan Obligations.

13.7 The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints State Street as the attorney in fact of the Borrower, with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, from time to time, in the discretion of State Street (a) to identify and designate for purposes of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, certain items of Custodial Collateral as Securities Loan Collateral to be delivered in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 5.1 and (b) to take any action and to execute any instrument that State Street may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, including, without limitation, to take any and all steps as may be required to enable State Street to realize upon any Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral that has been delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement or any Collateral Document or to transfer or cause to be transferred, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the legal title to such Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral to State Street or any transferee of the Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral designated by State Street. Any identification and designation pursuant to clause (a) above shall be made by State Street on its custodial or other books and records in accordance with its internal procedures. The failure by State Street to so identify or designate certain items of Custodial Collateral as Securities Loan Collateral shall not adversely affect or invalidate any existing Liens granted to State Street under this Agreement or under any Collateral Documents. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall adversely affect or invalidate any Liens granted to State Street by the Borrower under other agreements between the Borrower and State Street, including under any custodial, investment management, sale and repurchase or other agreements. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 13.7 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Further, for the avoidance of doubt and not in limitation of the rights of State Street under Sections 9-104(a)(1), 9-106(a) and 8-106(e) of the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, the Borrower and State Street, acting as a bank with respect to any deposit accounts and as a securities intermediary with respect to any securities accounts, acknowledge and agree that State Street, as the secured party hereunder with respect to the Securities Loan Collateral and Custodial Collateral, may issue instructions to direct disposition of any such collateral constituting funds on deposit in deposit accounts and may issue entitlement orders with respect to any such collateral constituting financial assets credited to or maintained in securities accounts, in either case without the consent of Borrower. State Street acting as a bank will comply with any and all such instructions and acting as a securities intermediary will comply with any and all such entitlement orders.

13.8 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, State Street may, from time to time as it deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for State Street hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Securities Loan Collateral or the Custodial Collateral. In the event that State Street so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral, (a) the assignment and pledge of such Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral and the security interest granted to State Street in such Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral by the Borrower hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to State Street, for the sole benefit of State Street, as security for the obligations and liabilities (including, without limitation, the Securities Loan Obligations) purported to be secured hereby and by the Collateral Documents and (b) such Subagent shall, in addition to State Street, automatically be vested with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of State Street hereunder with respect to such Securities Loan Collateral and Custodial Collateral; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by State Street.

14. Netting and Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”), then (a) the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may declare a default under Section 12 of this Agreement and under any Other Securities Lending Agreement, to the extent applicable, and terminate all Securities Loans and all Other Securities Loans, (b) the Non-Defaulting Party may exercise any or all remedies under Section 13 or Section 15, as applicable, or any other provision of this Agreement and, with respect to Other Securities Loans, the applicable provisions of the Other Securities Lending Agreements, and (c) the Non-Defaulting Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply (i) (A) any and all Custodial Collateral, (B) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) of the Defaulting Party at any time held by the Non-Defaulting Party and (C) any other obligations (in whatever currency and whether matured or unmatured, contingent or otherwise) at any time owed by the Non-Defaulting Party to or for the credit or the account of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement, any Collateral Document or any Other Securities Lending Agreement, against (ii) any and all of the obligations of the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, any Collateral Document or any Other Securities Lending Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Non-Defaulting Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement, any Collateral Document or any Other Securities Lending Agreement, and irrespective of whether such obligations of the Defaulting Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Non-Defaulting Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness, and the liability of the Non-Defaulting Party with respect to such deposits or such other obligations shall be discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent they are so set off. The rights of the Non-Defaulting Party under this Section 14 are in addition to any other rights and remedies, including other rights of setoff, that the Non-Defaulting Party may have by contract or at law. The Non-Defaulting Party agrees to notify the Defaulting Party promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. This Section 14 is intended to constitute a qualified master netting agreement under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable banking rules and regulations with respect to all transactions under this Agreement.

15. Borrower Remedies on State Street Default.

In the event of any Event of Default by State Street under Section 12 hereof, the Borrower shall have the right to elect, upon written notice to State Street hereunder, to treat all, but not less than all, of the Borrowed Securities as having been sold at a sale price equal to the Replacement Value of the Borrowed Securities on the date of the Event of Default (the “Deemed Sale”). The resultant aggregate sale price from the Deemed Sale of all of the Borrowed Securities shall be referred to herein as the “Deemed Sale Proceeds.” In the event that the Deemed Sale Proceeds plus all other amounts, if any, due to State Street hereunder on the date of the Event of Default are less than the Collateral Value of the Securities Loan Collateral on the date of the Event of Default plus all other amounts, if any, due to the Borrower hereunder on the date of the Event of Default, State Street shall be liable to the Borrower for the amount of any deficiency and shall pay such deficiency promptly. In the event that the Deemed Sale Proceeds plus all other amounts, if any, due to State Street hereunder on the date of the Event of Default is in excess of the Collateral Value of the Securities Loan Collateral on the date of the Event of Default plus all other amounts, if any, due to the Borrower hereunder on the date of the Event of Default, the Borrower shall be liable to State Street for the amount of any excess. Immediately upon the written election of the Borrower to treat the Borrowed Securities as having been sold pursuant to this Section 15, the obligation of the Borrower to return the Borrowed Securities and the obligation of State Street to return the Securities Loan Collateral shall terminate and the Borrower shall have no further rights, title or interests in or to the Securities Loan Collateral and State Street shall have no further rights, title or interests in or to the Borrowed Securities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower shall take all such actions and execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to vest in State Street all rights, title and interests in and to the Securities Loan Collateral and State Street shall take all such actions and execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to vest in the Borrower all rights, title and interests in and to the Borrowed Securities.

16. Limitation of Liability.

Notwithstanding any express provision to the contrary herein, neither State Street nor the Borrower shall be liable to the other for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special, punitive, multiple or exemplary damages, including lost profits, even if State Street or the Borrower, as applicable, has been apprised of the likelihood of such damages occurring.

17. Foreign Jurisdiction Security Provisions.

To the extent any Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral is located outside the United States or, in any case, if such Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral is subject in any respect to the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States, at the request of State Street, the Borrower covenants that it shall grant security interests in Securities Loan Collateral or Custodial Collateral under the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States and enter into such agreements, make such filings and take such other actions as may be reasonably deemed necessary or required by State Street to take and perfect such security interests to the fullest extent possible under the laws of such jurisdictions.

18. Indemnification.

18.1 The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless State Street from any and all damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that State Street may incur or suffer due to (a) an Event of Default on the part of the Borrower, (b) any acts or omissions or other failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under any Collateral Documents or (c) any act or omission of any agent of the Borrower other than State Street. The Borrower further agrees that such indemnity shall apply to any and all costs and Taxes (including, but not limited to, transfer taxes, withholding taxes, stamp duty, financial institutions duty, income tax and capital gains tax) assessed against State Street with respect to any transfer hereunder of the Borrowed Securities or Securities Loan Collateral or incurred by State Street in respect of this Agreement or any Collateral Documents and any transactions arising out of this Agreement.

18.2 The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless State Street, acting in its capacity as agent on behalf of the Borrower, from and against any damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may arise from its acting as agent pursuant to this Agreement or from any act or omission of the Borrower or any agent of the Borrower, except in the case of negligence, willful default or fraud on the part of State Street.

18.3 The right to indemnification under this Section 18 shall survive the termination of any Securities Loan or any termination of this Agreement.

19. Waiver.

The failure of either Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all waivers in respect of an Event of Default must be in writing.

20. Currency Conversion.

If it is necessary to convert from a value under one currency to any other currency for any purpose hereunder, the Borrower hereby directs that State Street, acting as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower, cause the Borrower to enter into a foreign exchange transaction with State Street, acting as principal, at an exchange rate determined by State Street in good faith in accordance with its customary procedures for the automated foreign exchange execution services referred to as “Indirect Foreign Exchange – Security Settlements and Holdings” in the Investment Manager Guide that is made available solely to investment managers of institutional clients that custody their assets at State Street. In this respect, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that State Street will be acting as principal to all such foreign exchange transactions and the pricing of such foreign exchange transactions shall be based on market rates and conditions, inventory and other risk management considerations at the time of execution, plus an amount that State Street determines is appropriate to compensate it for the services being provided in connection with these foreign exchange transactions. State Street, in its capacity as a principal foreign exchange dealer, seeks to make a profit on such transactions, and State Street, either as agent or as the principal counterparty, shall not be obligated to account to the Borrower for any such profit. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) these foreign exchange execution rates will be made available, as part of the reporting provided by the investor services group of State Street, to the Borrower and the External Managers acting as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, (b) the External Managers acting as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower hereunder shall be solely responsible and liable for acting as the fiduciary to the Borrower in determining whether such foreign exchange execution rates are fair and reasonable in light of the services provided by State Street in Section 4 hereof and (c) so long as the Borrower continues to authorize and direct State Street to execute any and all foreign exchange transactions as agent for and on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof or otherwise, the Borrower and the External Managers shall be deemed to have concluded that such foreign exchange execution rates are fair and reasonable in light of the services provided by State Street in Section 4 hereof and in this Section 20.

21. Payment Settlement Netting.

If on any date payments in the same currency are due and payable by each Party to the other Party under this Agreement, then, on such date, those payment obligations may be aggregated and netted against each other such that the Party with the larger payment obligation will pay to the Party with the smaller payment obligation an amount equal to the excess of the larger payment obligation over the smaller payment obligation. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that each Securities Loan shall have a term of one (1) day. Further, the Parties agree to renew the term of each Securities Loan every day unless such Securities Loan is otherwise terminated by either Party in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

22. Continuing Agreement; Termination.

It is the intention of the Parties hereto that, subject to the termination provisions set forth herein, this Agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement in every respect and shall apply to each and every Securities Loan, whether now existing or hereafter effected by State Street at the request of the Borrower. The Borrower or State Street may at any time terminate this Agreement upon five (5) calendar days written notice to the other to that effect. The sole effect of any such termination of this Agreement will be that, following such termination, no further Securities Loans by State Street shall be made or considered made hereunder, but the provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect in all other respects until all Securities Loans have been terminated and all obligations satisfied as herein provided.
