Agency Securities Lending Agreement

SECURITIES LENDING AGENCY AGREEMENT dated as of December 18, 2017 between each registered investment company or series thereof set forth on Exhibit A, as amended, severally and not jointly (each a “Lender”), and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”).

WHEREAS, Lender and State Street Bank & Trust Company (“Custodian”) have entered into a Custody Agreement dated December 1, 2017 pursuant to which Custodian has assumed certain custody responsibilities with respect to securities and other property held for the benefit of Lender in a custody account (the “Custody Account”);

WHEREAS, Lender wishes to retain the services of GSAL to act as its agent in lending securities from time to time held in the Custody Account to certain borrowers, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, GSAL is willing to act as agent for Lender in lending such securities owned by Lender to certain borrowers, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth including, but not limited to, liaising with Custodian with respect to the administration of such lending activity on Lender’s behalf and Lender has provided notification to Custodian to such effect.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. With respect to those securities (“Available Securities”) identified in Schedule 1 hereto which are held in the Custody Account (and until Lender notifies GSAL otherwise), Lender hereby appoints and authorizes GSAL, as its agent on a disclosed basis, to lend such securities, upon such terms and conditions and at such time or times, as GSAL, in its discretion, shall determine, and GSAL hereby accepts such appointment. Lender may instruct GSAL in writing not to lend certain securities or security types, or to not lend Available Securities held by certain Lenders, and GSAL agrees to comply with any such instruction as soon as reasonably practicable. To facilitate performance of its lending agency activities (as more fully described below), GSAL may, in its discretion and without notice to Lender, from time to time appoint one or more persons to act as its sub-agent hereunder and under any securities loan agreement (“SLA”) entered into with respect to the loan of securities held in the Custody Account, and Lender hereby approves any such appointment provided that GSAL shall remain fully responsible to Lender for acts and omissions of sub-agent. GSAL shall have the right, in its discretion, to terminate any appointment of a sub-agent or to modify the terms of any such appointment without notice to Lender.

2. During the term of any securities loan, GSAL shall permit the loaned securities to be transferred into the name of and voted (where applicable) by the borrower or others. For each loan of securities, the borrower shall pledge as collateral cash (including U.S. dollar), securities issued or fully guaranteed by the United States government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, and irrevocable performance letters of credit (collectively, “Collateral”) having an initial market value (as determined pursuant to the applicable SLA) at least equal to the market value of the loaned securities (as determined pursuant to the applicable SLA). Lender may instruct GSAL in writing regarding the types of Collateral that Lender will accept, and GSAL agrees to comply with any such instruction as soon as reasonably practicable. All Collateral is intended to be received, held and administered for the benefit of Lender by Custodian in the Custody Account, except as otherwise provided herein. GSAL is authorized in its discretion to terminate, on Lender’s behalf, any securities loan entered into with a borrower without prior notice to Lender, subject to the conditions of the relevant SLA. Lender may itself instruct GSAL to terminate any loan on any date subject to the conditions of the relevant SLA. GSAL agrees to comply with any such instruction; provided, however in the event the Lender has sold the loaned securities it shall notify GSAL of such sale by the close of business on trade date in the principal market for the affected security, which notice shall constitute an instruction from Lender to terminate the loan to the extent of the quantity of such loaned securities sold.

3. Notwithstanding the grant of discretion in paragraph 1 hereof, GSAL may only lend securities from the Custody Account, as agent, to any one or more of the institutions (for each loan of securities, such institution at the time of such loan, an “Approved Borrower”) listed on Schedule 2 hereto, and Lender hereby specifically approves such list of institutions. Lender understands and agrees that Schedule 2 may be amended by GSAL from time to time to add or delete borrowers and that GSAL will notify Lender of each such proposed change. With respect to a deleted borrower, such change shall be effective immediately upon notification to Lender to such effect. With respect to a proposed additional borrower, unless Lender notifies GSAL, within 48 hours of the giving by GSAL of notice of the proposed additional borrower(s), of Lender’s disapproval of any such additional borrower(s), Lender agrees that Schedule 2 shall be deemed amended to add the name(s) of such borrower(s). The parties agree that in no event will an affiliate of GSAL ever be an Approved Borrower.

4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such time that Lender is a plan or other entity subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (any such plan or other entity referred to herein as an “ERISA Plan Lender”), the provisions of Annex I to this Agreement shall become effective (and shall be deemed incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if fully set forth herein) and any provision of Annex I or of ERISA governing the lending of securities of an ERISA Plan Lender under this Agreement shall override any inconsistent provisions otherwise contained in this Agreement. Lender represents that at the time of this Agreement (check appropriate item):

Lender shall notify GSAL in writing if at any time during the term of this Agreement its status changes from that specified above, and, until such notice is received, GSAL shall be entitled to rely on the status of Lender represented to it as aforesaid.

5. Lender fully understands and agrees that GSAL intends to execute or cause to be executed an SLA (in substantially the form of Schedule 3) as Lender’s agent on a disclosed basis with each Approved Borrower, and Lender hereby approves such form of SLA. Lender understands and agrees that GSAL may revise, without advance notice to Lender, the terms of any SLA with any Approved Borrower as GSAL deems necessary or appropriate, in its discretion, for the effectuation of any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby provided, however that GSAL shall give Lender prompt notice of any material change to the SLA and provided further that, no change shall reduce the initial market value of Collateral threshold to below 102% for U.S. loans and 105% for non-U.S. loans without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender also agrees to promptly furnish to GSAL its financial statements to enable GSAL to comply with any request therefor by an Approved Borrower in connection with any SLA.

6. GSAL is authorized by Lender to negotiate on Lender’s behalf with each Approved Borrower all terms of a securities loan, including the amounts or fees to be received or paid pursuant to the applicable SLA. Lender understands and agrees that the identity of Lender will be disclosed by GSAL to an Approved Borrower under a securities loan at any time upon request of the Approved Borrower. The basis of GSAL’s compensation for its activities hereunder and in respect of any securities loan is set forth in Schedule 4 hereto. Lender agrees to treat the basis and amount of GSAL’s compensation as confidential and not to disclose it to third parties except that Lender may disclose such information if and to the extent required by law or regulation or if requested by any regulatory body or governmental authority with jurisdiction over Lender.

7. GSAL is authorized to notify Lender or Custodian whenever a securities loan has been agreed to on behalf of Lender with an Approved Borrower. In respect of the commencement of any loan, GSAL shall instruct the Approved Borrower to transfer to the Custody Account the required collateral and shall advise Lender or Custodian to receive the same. GSAL shall also advise Lender or Custodian which securities in the Custody Account have been lent and the transfer instructions supplied by the Approved Borrower with respect thereto. Upon termination of the loan, GSAL shall instruct the Approved Borrower to return the loaned securities to the Custody Account and shall advise Lender or Custodian to receive the same. GSAL shall also advise Lender or Custodian as to Collateral due the Approved Borrower and the Approved Borrower’s transfer instructions with respect thereto.

8. In respect of loans of securities entered into on Lender’s behalf, GSAL will value on a daily basis, in accordance with the applicable SLA, the loaned securities and all pledged Collateral and, where applicable, GSAL shall, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable SLA, request the Approved Borrower to deliver sufficient additional Collateral to the Custody Account to satisfy the applicable margin requirement and shall advise the Lender or Custodian to receive the same. Lender acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to any SLA, GSAL may permit an Approved Borrower to substitute Collateral, which is of the type specified in Section 2 hereto and is otherwise acceptable to GSAL in its discretion, during the term of any loan so long as the required margin with respect to Collateral in respect of such loan continues to be satisfied after such substitution. If, as a result of marking to market, Collateral is required to be returned to the Approved Borrower under the SLA, GSAL may advise Lender or Custodian regarding the amount and type of Collateral requested by Approved Borrower to be returned and the manner, timing and means by which such return was requested by Approved Borrower to be effected.

9. (a) Lender shall have the right, pursuant to the SLA, to invest cash Collateral received in respect of any loan, subject to an obligation, upon the termination of the loan, to return to the Approved Borrower the amount of cash initially pledged (as adjusted for any interim marks-to-market). Lender shall direct GSAL and/or Custodian, from time to time, as to the manner and means by which such cash Collateral is to be invested and the types of permissible investments. Until contrary instructions are furnished to GSAL by Lender, GSAL is authorized and directed to cause all cash collateral to be invested as specified in Schedule 5 hereto, in which case Lender hereby authorizes GSAL to withdraw at any time any amounts from such invested Collateral, in its discretion, to satisfy Lender’s obligations arising to an Approved Borrower or GSAL.

(b) Lender acknowledges and agrees that any income or gains and losses from investing and reinvesting any cash Collateral delivered by an Approved Borrower to GSAL pursuant to an SLA shall be at Lender’s risk and for Lender’s account, and Lender agrees that to the extent any such losses reduce the amount of cash below the amount required to be returned to the Approved Borrower upon the termination of any loan made on Lender’s behalf (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral Fee (as defined in the applicable SLA) due the borrower), Lender will, on demand of GSAL, immediately pay to GSAL (for transmission to such Approved Borrower) an equivalent amount in cash in any currency specified by GSAL. GSAL is hereby authorized and instructed, and GSAL agrees, to effect any required liquidation of permissible investments to satisfy Lender’s obligation to return cash Collateral pursuant to a mark to market or upon termination of any loan of securities. All proceeds and earnings derived from such investment shall be deposited in the Custody Account unless otherwise directed by Lender.

10. Where Collateral consists of securities, Lender, pursuant to the applicable SLA, may pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, lend, relend, sell or otherwise transfer the same to third parties, in which case Lender shall direct Custodian (or GSAL to direct Custodian) as to the intended disposition. GSAL shall also advise Custodian, on the due date therefor, of any Cash Collateral Fees or amounts (including payments in lieu of distribution on securities Collateral) that are due to an Approved

Borrower under the SLA, and on behalf of Lender, to effect prompt payment thereof to the Approved Borrower by appropriate debit to the Custody Account and transfer to the Approved Borrower. With respect to fees and amounts (including in lieu of distributions on loaned securities) due to Lender from an Approved Borrower under the SLA, GSAL shall advise Custodian of the fees and amounts to be received on the due date therefor in the Custody Account pursuant to Lender’s direction. Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in respect of any loan entered into on Lender’s behalf, GSAL may at its option advance its own funds to pay any such Cash Collateral Fee or other fees or amounts due the Approved Borrower under the SLA. If GSAL makes any such advance and Lender does not pay to GSAL when due the applicable securities lending fee, Lender will be liable to GSAL until payment in full of such liability, at a rate per annum equal to 1/2% above the highest broker call rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition) from day to day. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Lender to pay to the Approved Borrower the Cash Collateral Fee in respect of any loan of securities is independent of the results of investment of the related cash Collateral. As security for any and all obligations of Lender to GSAL arising hereunder or under any SLA, Lender hereby assigns and grants to GSAL a security interest in, and hereby pledges, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Custody Account and all cash and securities standing to the credit thereof from time to time.

11. In the event of a default by an Approved Borrower with respect to any loan entered into pursuant to an SLA, GSAL will, and is hereby authorized by Lender to, exercise on Lender’s behalf, in its discretion and without prior notification to Lender, any and all remedies provided thereunder or available under applicable law. In addition, the following applies:

(a) If an Approved Borrower fails, pursuant to the SLA with GSAL, to return loaned securities with respect to a loan when due for any reason (“Default Event”), then GSAL shall indemnify the Lender as set forth below:

GSAL shall elect at its option to either purchase (“Buy-In”) for the Lender’s account, for settlement in the normal course, replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series as that of the loaned securities, or treat the Loaned Securities as having been purchased by Borrower (“Deemed Buy-In”) in accordance with the SLA, provided however, that if the value of the collateral (“Collateral Value”, as defined below) is less than the purchase cost or deemed purchase cost of replacement securities, GSAL shall be responsible for satisfying such shortfall but only to the extent that such shortfall is not due to any diminution in the Collateral Value due to reinvestment risk (which is borne by Lender pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement).

In the event the Lender fails to meet its sale settlement obligations with respect to loaned securities as a result of a Default Event and the applicable exchange, performs a “buy-in” to prevent a “market” short position, or the applicable delivering or receiving broker or custodian performs a “buy-in” in accordance with the rules and practices in the relevant market to remedy such failure-to-deliver or failure to-receive, as applicable, and the Lender provides notification

of such sale to GSAL by the close of business on trade date in the principal market for the affected security, subject per Section 17 to GSAL having no liability to Lender arising from or based upon any failure or delay by Custodian to perform its obligations to Lender with respect to any loan of securities, GSAL shall be liable for any costs of such buy-ins that were passed to Lender (the “buy-in costs”); provided however, that if the Collateral Value is less than the buy-in costs, GSAL shall be responsible for satisfying such shortfall but only to the extent that such shortfall is not due to any diminution in the Collateral Value due to reinvestment risk (which is borne by Lender pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement).

(b) Collateral Value shall be (A) in the case of loans collateralized solely by cash Collateral, the greater of the market value of the cash Collateral investments and the value of the cash Collateral pledged by an Approved Borrower with respect to a loan, (B) in the case of loans collateralized solely by securities Collateral, the market value of such Collateral, and (C) in the case of loans collateralized solely by letters of credit, the respective available undrawn amounts, and, in each case above, Collateral Value shall be determined on the date of the Buy-In (or the payment made pursuant to (c) below). Where a loan is collateralized by more than one type of Collateral, the aggregate market value of Collateral securing such loan (for the purpose of computing the indemnity) shall be the sum of the market values for each relevant type of Collateral. Market value shall be determined by GSAL, where applicable, based upon prices obtained from a generally recognized pricing services or dealer price quotations other than the Approved Borrower.

(c) If, on the date of the Default Event, GSAL is not in possession or control of the Collateral allocated to the defaulted Loan, Lender shall cause such Collateral to be transferred to GSAL for application against the cost of any Buy-In. Lender bears any risks of loss arising from any delays in GSAL exercising a Buy-In or Deemed Buy-In as a result of the failure by Lender after request of GSAL to provide reasonable assurances to GSAL that Collateral or cash from another source, of an amount equal to the Collateral Value (without reduction for any diminution in The Collateral Value that was due to reinvestment risk) will be transferred to GSAL by settlement date of any Buy-in or Deemed Buy-In.

(d) In the event that GSAL is required to perform or make any payment under this Section, the Lender agrees that, to the extent of such performance or payment, GSAL shall be subrogated to, and the Lender shall assign, and be deemed to have assigned, to GSAL all of Lender’s rights in, to and against the Approved Borrower in respect of the related loan, any Collateral pledged by the Approved Borrower in respect of such loan (including any letters of credit and the issuers thereof) and all proceeds of such Collateral. In the event that Lender receives or is credited with any payment, benefit or value from or on behalf of the Approved Borrower in respect of rights to which GSAL is subrogated as provided herein, Lender shall promptly remit or pay to GSAL the same (or, where applicable, its United States dollar equivalent).

12. GSAL (i) will, upon request by Lender, make available to Lender a daily statement of activity setting forth information relating to loaned securities, marks-to-market and terminations, (ii) will make available to Lender on or about the 7th (seventh) Business Day of each month, a statement indicating for the preceding calendar month the securities lent from the Custody Account, the value of such securities, the identity of the borrowers, the nature and amount of Collateral received as security for the loaned securities, the income received (or loss incurred) from such invested Collateral (as supplied to it by Lender or Custodian ), the amounts of any fees or payments paid with respect to each loan and such other information as GSAL and Lender may agree to from time to time, and (iii) will provide to Lender on the 7th (seventh) Business Day of each month a report of manufactured income or distributions paid with respect to loans of securities. For purposes hereof, “Business Day” means any day on which GSAL is open for business in Boston, Massachusetts. GSAL (unless otherwise instructed by Lender) shall instruct the Approved Borrower to remit directly to the Custody Account all amounts and fees due Lender pursuant to any loan of securities.

THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION ACT OF 1970 MAY NOT PROTECT THE LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES LOAN TRANSACTION AND THAT, THEREFORE, THE COLLATERAL DELIVERED BY THE BROKER OR DEALER, AS BORROWER, TO THE LENDER MAY CONSTITUTE THE ONLY SOURCE OF SATISFACTION OF THE BROKER’S OR DEALER’S OBLIGATION IN THE EVENT THE BROKER OR DEALER FAILS TO RETURN THE SECURITIES.

14. Lender acknowledges that, under the applicable SLA, the Approved Borrowers will not be required to return loaned securities immediately upon receipt of notice from GSAL terminating the applicable loan, but instead will be required to return such loaned securities within such period of time following such notice as is specified in the applicable SLA. Upon receiving a notice from Custodian, Lender or Lender’s investment manager that Available Securities which have been lent to an Approved Borrower should no longer be considered Available Securities (whether because of the sale of such securities or otherwise), GSAL shall use its best efforts to notify promptly thereafter the Approved Borrower which has borrowed such securities that the loan of such securities is terminated and that such securities are to be returned within the time specified by the applicable SLA.

15. Lender acknowledges that any payments of distributions from the Approved Borrower to Lender are in substitution for the interest or dividend accrued or paid in respect of loaned securities and that the tax treatment of such payment may differ from the tax treatment of such interest or dividend. Lender also acknowledges that GSAL or Custodian may be required to withhold tax on amounts payable to or by Lender pursuant to a securities loan and GSAL may at any time claim from Lender any shortfall in the amount GSAL so withheld.

16. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and except as provided in paragraph 11 hereof and pursuant to this paragraph, GSAL shall not be liable with respect to any losses incurred by Lender in connection with this securities lending program or under any provision hereof, except to the extent that such losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of GSAL in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Accordingly, GSAL agrees to indemnify Lender for any losses incurred by Lender as a result of GSAL’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

17. The responsibilities of GSAL and Custodian with respect to negotiating and administering each securities loan shall be set forth in, and governed by, the written operational procedures established from time to time by Lender, GSAL and Custodian and are incorporated by reference herein. GSAL shall have no liability whatsoever to Lender or any Approved Borrower arising from or based upon any failure or delay by Custodian or any Cash Collateral reinvestment investment manager selected by Lender, for whatever reason, to perform their obligations to Lender as Custodian or investment manager with respect to any loan of securities (including complying with any instructions, orders or directions with respect to receipt and delivery of securities, Collateral and fees, and investment and liquidation/redemption of investments of Collateral). Customary and reasonable fees and expenses of Custodian engaged by Lender shall be the sole responsibility of GSAL.

18. Each party represents and warrants to each other that (i) it has due authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and any transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the execution and performance of this Agreement and any transaction contemplated thereby has been duly authorized by all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, and does not and will not violate any law, regulation, charter, by-law or other instrument, restriction or provision applicable to it; and (iii) this Agreement constitutes such party’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms. In addition, Lender represents that, as to any securities lent at any time and from time to time from the Custody Account, Lender shall be the owner thereof with clear title thereto and no lien, charge or encumbrance upon such securities shall exist upon delivery of such security to an Approved Borrower except as otherwise created hereunder.

19. Lender grants GSAL the authority set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding its awareness that GSAL, in its individual capacity or acting in a fiduciary capacity for other accounts, may have transactions or existing relationships with the same institutions to which loans of securities may be made hereunder, which transactions or relationships may give rise to potential conflict of interest situations.

20. GSAL shall have no duties or responsibilities in respect of securities lending transactions except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. GSAL shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by

circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; or the failure of a third-party custodian or securities depository, such as the Depository Trust Company (or any of its affiliated entities), a depository, a clearing agency or a central counterparty, to effect the transfer of Loaned Securities or Collateral for reasons arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond GSAL’s control. GSAL shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including by telephone, telex, facsimile, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of an approved person (“Approved Person”) of Lender. Set forth in Schedule 6 hereto is a list of Approved Persons, which list may be amended by Lender from time to time upon notice to GSAL. No provision of this Agreement shall require GSAL to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder.

21. Lender hereby authorizes and empowers GSAL to execute in Lender’s name and on its behalf and at its risk all agreements and documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of GSAL to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that GSAL is authorized to supply any information regarding Lender and any loan of securities effected pursuant hereto which is required by applicable law.

22. GSAL represents and warrants that it will provide at no additional cost access to certain benchmarking data from a third-party benchmarking service, the data and service to be mutually agreed upon in advance by GSAL and Lender.

23. Based on information that GSAL has received from Custodian regarding which loans have settled, GSAL shall provide Lender with a cash availability number by 12:00 p.m. CT each business day, which shall include all settled loans and would assume that all recalls are returned on such date. To the extent GSAL causes a Lender to incur an overdraft charges as a result of the inaccuracy of such cash availability number, GSAL shall reimburse Lender for such overdraft charges; provided that GSAL shall not be liable or reimburse Lender for overdraft charges incurred as a result of an inaccurate cash availability number, if the cash availability number is inaccurate due to the information GSAL received from the Custodian.

24. This Agreement may be terminated by any party on seven days’ written notice to the other party to such effect. The only effects of any such termination of this Agreement will be that (a) following such termination, no further loans shall be made hereunder by GSAL on behalf of Lender and (b) GSAL shall, within a reasonable time after termination of this Agreement, terminate any and all outstanding loans or as otherwise instructed by Lender. The provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect in all other respects until all loans have been terminated and all obligations satisfied as herein provided.

25. All notices, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and delivered or transmitted (as the case may be) by registered mail, facsimile, e-mail, telex or courier, or be effected by telephone promptly confirmed in writing and delivered or transmitted as aforesaid, to the intended recipient in accordance with Schedule 7 hereto. Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

26. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Lender and GSAL. This Agreement supersedes any other agreement between the parties hereto concerning loans of securities held in the Custody Account. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party.

27. GSAL shall use its best efforts to treat each Lender equitably with other lenders of like circumstances in making lending opportunities available to such Lender hereunder, taking into account the demand for specific securities, availability of securities, types of collateral, eligibility of borrowers, deadline for final cash and limitations on investments of cash collateral.

28. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facisimile or PDF transmission), each of which shall be deemed to be an original.

29. This Agreement shall be deemed to create a separate agreement between GSAL and each Lender to the same extent as though each such Lender had separately executed an identical agreement. Any reference to Lender in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer solely and exclusively to a particular Lender to which a given lending transaction under this Agreement relates. The rights and obligations of each Lender pursuant hereto or in connection with any transaction hereunder, are independent of, and separate and distinct from, the rights and obligations of each and every other Lender pursuant hereto or in connection with any transaction hereunder. Under no circumstances shall the rights, obligations or remedies with respect to a particular Lender constitute a right, obligation or remedy applicable to any other Lender. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that: (a) any event of default regarding one Lender shall not create any right or obligation with respect to any other Lender; (b) neither GSAL nor any Approved Borrower shall have any right to set off any claims of or against a Lender by applying property or rights of any other Lender and (c) no Lender, shall have claims to, or the right to set off against, assets or property held by an Approved Borrower on account of any other Lender.

SECURITIES LOAN AGREEMENT dated ____________ by and between Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, as agent for accounts (in such capacity and not in its individual capacity, “Lender”), and _____________________ (“Borrower”) setting forth the terms and conditions under which Lender, on behalf of disclosed accounts (each, an “Account” and, collectively, the “Accounts”) hereto lends to Borrower certain securities against a pledge of collateral.

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, either party hereto may initiate a transaction by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, electronic message whereby Lender may, from time to time, lend securities to Borrower. The parties shall agree by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, electronic message on the terms of each Loan, including the date of commencement of the Loan, the issuer of the securities, the description and amount of securities to be lent and the method and location of their delivery, the terms of compensation (including any applicable rebate), the Margin Percentage, and the type(s) and amount of Collateral to be transferred by Borrower and the method and location of their delivery, which terms may be amended during the Loan upon mutual agreement of the parties.

1.2 (a) Promptly after initiating the transaction and agreeing to the terms of each Loan, each party shall promptly send the material terms of the Loan to a mutually-agreed upon service provider or system that compares Loan details and in which Borrower and Lender are participants. The confirmation (The “Confirmation”) by such service provider or such system that the Loan details submitted by each of the Lender and Borrower match, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan to which the Confirmation relates, unless specific objection with respect to the Confirmation is made promptly after receipt thereof.

(b) If the parties heretofore agree, each Loan shall not be evidenced by the method specified in 1.2(a) but rather by Lender’s records pertaining to such Loans maintained by Lender in the regular course of its business and which shall represent conclusive evidence thereof except for manifest error or willful misconduct. Upon Borrower’s request, Lender shall send Borrower monthly statements of outstanding Loans showing Loan activity which Borrower agrees to examine promptly and to advise Lender of any errors or exceptions. Borrower’s failure to so advise Lender within twenty (20) days after delivery of any such statement shall be deemed to be Borrower’s admission of the accuracy and correctness of the contents thereof and Borrower shall be fully bound thereby. The foregoing shall not be construed to prevent the parties hereto from mutually agreeing to amend or correct such statements if there has been manifest error in the preparation of such statements.

1.3 Notwithstanding the provisions in this Agreement with respect to when a Loan occurs, a Loan hereunder shall not occur until the Loaned Securities and the Collateral therefore are transferred.

1.4 WITHOUT WAIVING ANY RIGHTS GIVEN TO LENDER HEREUNDER, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION ACT OF 1970 MAY NOT PROTECT LENDER WITH RESPECT TO LOANED SECURITIES HEREUNDER AND THAT, THEREFORE, THE COLLATERAL DELIVERED TO LENDER MAY CONSTITUTE THE ONLY SOURCE OF SATISFACTION OF BORROWER’S OBLIGATIONS IN THE EVENT BORROWER FAILS TO RETURN THE LOANED SECURITIES.

2. Transfer of Loaned Securities. On the date for the commencement of the Loan, Lender shall transfer the Loaned Securities to Borrower or its designee by either (a) delivering to Borrower or its designee certificates representing the Loaned Securities together with duly executed stock or bond transfer powers or certificates or other

instruments of transfer or assignment as are customary in the market in which such Loaned Securities are delivered; (b) causing the Loaned Securities to be credited to Borrower’s account and debited to Lender’s account at a clearing agency (“Clearing Organization”) at which Borrower and Lender maintain accounts; or (c) any other method of transfer as agreed upon by the parties. Borrower agrees that the completion of a delivery of Loaned Securities to it pursuant to a Loan shall constitute its acceptance and receipt thereof and each such acceptance and receipt shall be deemed to constitute, and shall constitute, a representation by Borrower that as of the date of such acceptance and receipt (i) all representations and warranties by Borrower herein are true and correct, as if made on and as of such date, (ii) no Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) except as otherwise theretofore disclosed to Lender in writing, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or business of Borrower or any direct or indirect parent since the date of the most recent financial statements of Borrower provided to Lender hereunder and that, where Borrower is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), it is in compliance with Rule 15c3-1 thereunder.

3.1 On or prior to the receipt of the Loaned Securities, Borrower shall transfer to Lender Collateral in an amount (the “Required Value”) equal to the percentage (the “Margin Percentage”) of the market value of the Loaned Securities as agreed to by the parties (which shall not be less than 100% of the market value of the Loaned Securities) and shall be equal to the percentage specified in Annex I hereto for particular types of loans.

3.2 All transfers of Collateral consisting of securities (including those made pursuant to Section 8) shall be effected in the same manner as that provided in Section 2 for Loaned Securities. All transfers of Collateral consisting of cash (including those made pursuant to Section 8) shall be made by (a) wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds or (b) such other means as the parties hereto may agree. All transfers of Collateral consisting of a letter of credit from Borrower to Lender shall be made by delivery to Lender of an irrevocable performance letter of credit issued by a bank (not affiliated with Borrower) which is acceptable to Lender and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or is a foreign bank that has filed an agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Form FR T-2 (or any successor). Transfer of a letter of credit from Lender to Borrower shall be made by causing such letter of credit to be returned or, through the written consent of Lender, causing the amount of such letter of credit to be reduced to the amount required after such transfer.

3.3 The Collateral transferred by Borrower to Lender, as adjusted pursuant to Section 8, shall be security for Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loan and for any other obligations of Borrower to Lender, and Borrower hereby pledges with, assigns to, and grants Lender a continuing security interest in, and a lien upon, the Collateral (other than letters of credit), which shall attach upon the delivery of the Collateral to Lender and which shall cease upon the redelivery of the Collateral to Borrower.

3.4 Lender may use or invest the Collateral, if such consists of cash, at its own risk and for its own benefit and shall be entitled to retain all income and profits therefrom and shall bear all losses with respect thereto. If the Collateral consists of securities, Lender may pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, lend, relend, sell or otherwise transfer the Collateral and commingle, with other collateral or with its own assets, the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender to be the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of doing or performing any act or thing (including, without limitation, executing any document) and to take all other steps as may be required to enable Lender to effect transfer thereof to a third party or to otherwise realize upon any Collateral which has been transferred to it pursuant to any Loan.

3.5 Except as provided in Section 12, Lender shall be obligated to return the Collateral to Borrower upon tender to Lender of the Loaned Securities on termination of the Loan.

3.6 If, on any Business Day corresponding to the commencement date for a Loan, Borrower transfers the Collateral and Lender does not transfer the Loaned Securities, Borrower shall have the absolute right to the immediate return of the Collateral; and if, on any such Business Day, Lender transfers Loaned Securities and Borrower does not transfer Collateral hereunder, Lender shall have the absolute right to the immediate return of the Loaned Securities.

3.7 Borrower may, upon reasonable notice to Lender and with Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), substitute Collateral for Collateral securing any Loan; provided, however, that such substituted Collateral shall (a) consist only of cash, securities or other property that the parties agreed would be acceptable Collateral prior to the commencement of the Loan or Loans and (b) have a market value such that the aggregate market value of such substituted Collateral shall equal or exceed the agreed upon Margin Percentage of the market value of the Loaned Securities. Substituted Collateral shall constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes.

3.8 A transfer of Loaned Securities or Collateral may be effected on any day except (i) a day on which the intended transferee is closed for business (which transferee may be a designee or agent) or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.

3.9 (a) Except as provided in the following sentence, upon receipt of Collateral for a Loan, such Collateral shall be allocated to such Loan; provided that if Collateral is received on the same day for more than one Loan, the Lender shall allocate such Collateral to each Loan then being made so that each such Loan is secured by not less than the Required Value of Collateral. Any Collateral received by Lender with respect to a Loan in excess of the Required Value for such Loan may be held by Lender as collateral security for all Loans made to Borrower at any time without being allocated to any one Loan or, in the sole discretion of Lender, may be allocated at any time to any Loan or Loans then outstanding hereunder. All allocations of Collateral shall be marked in Lender’s books, which shall be conclusive evidence of such allocations.

(b) Lender shall have the right, at its sole election, at any time and from time to time, to allocate and/or reallocate any Collateral held by it hereunder to or among any outstanding Loan or Loans.

(c) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that any allocation of Collateral to any Loan or liabilities due to any Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall in no way affect the ability of Lender to apply such Collateral to the satisfaction of any obligation of Borrower hereunder upon any default hereunder, regardless of the Loan or Account to which such obligation relates, and that all Collateral at any time given hereunder shall constitute collateral security for all the Borrower’s obligations to Lender hereunder without distinction of any kind and upon any default hereunder may be applied to any such obligation or obligations as Lender in its sole discretion may elect.

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed, (a) Borrower agrees to pay Lender a loan fee (a “Loan Fee”), computed daily on each Loan to the extent such Loan is secured by cash Collateral or Collateral other than cash, based on the aggregate market value, on each day for which such Loan Fee is being computed, of the Loaned Securities so secured, and (b) Lender agrees to pay Borrower a fee or rebate (a “Cash Collateral Fee”) on Collateral consisting of cash, computed daily based on the amount of cash held by Lender as Collateral. In the case of each of the Loan Fee and the Cash Collateral Fee, the parties shall agree on the applicable rates therefor. Unless otherwise agreed, Loan Fees shall accrue from and including the date on which the Loaned Securities are transferred to Borrower to, but excluding, the date on which such Loaned Securities are returned to Lender, and Cash Collateral Fees shall accrue from and including the date on which the cash Collateral is transferred to Lender to, but excluding, the date on which such cash Collateral is returned to Borrower.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed, any Loan Fee or Cash Collateral Fee payable hereunder shall be payable upon the earlier of (i) the seventh day of the month following the calendar month in which such fee was incurred or (ii) the termination of all Loans hereunder (or, if a transfer of cash under Section 3.8 may not be effected on such seventh day or the day of such termination, as the case may be, the next day on which such a transfer may be effected). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Loan Fees shall be payable by Borrower immediately in the event of a Default hereunder by Borrower and all Cash Collateral Fees shall be payable immediately by Lender in the event of a Default hereunder by Lender.

5.1 Each Loan shall be terminable on demand, notwithstanding any expectation by any party that a Loan would remain outstanding for a given time period. Borrower may terminate a loan at any time by giving notice to Lender (i) for domestic securities, any time prior to 11:00 a.m. on the termination date established by such notice Business Day, and (ii) for foreign securities, at least one Business Day prior to the termination date established by such notice. On the termination date, Borrower shall transfer the Loaned Securities to Lender in the same manner as initial transfer thereof from Lender to Borrower was effected pursuant to Section 2, whereupon Lender shall transfer to Borrower the Collateral (as adjusted pursuant to Section 8) by close of the day (which must be a day upon which Lender or its designee or agent holding the Collateral is open for business in the jurisdiction in which such Collateral is held) next succeeding the day of such receipt of the Loaned Securities.

5.2 Lender may terminate a Loan at any time by giving notice to Borrower prior to the close of business on a Business Day. The termination date established by such notice shall be a Business Day no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the standard settlement date for trades of the Loaned Securities entered into on the date of such notice in the principal market therefor or (ii) five Business Days from the giving of such notice. On the termination date, Borrower shall transfer to Lender the Loaned Securities in the same manner as initial transfer thereof from Lender to Borrower was effected pursuant to Section 2, whereupon Lender shall transfer to Borrower the Collateral (as adjusted pursuant to Section 8) by close of the day (which must be a day upon which Lender or its designee or agent holding the Collateral is open for business in the jurisdiction in which such Collateral is held) next succeeding the day of such receipt of the Loaned Securities.

5.3 For purposes of this Agreement, any required return by Borrower of Loaned Securities shall include securities identical in issuer, type, class and face amount to those actually transferred by Lender to Borrower at the commencement of the related Loan, and any required return by Lender of Collateral consisting of securities shall include securities identical in issuer, type, class and face amount to those actually transferred by Borrower to Lender during the term of the Loan.

6. Rights of Borrower in Respect of the Loaned Securities. Until a Loan is terminated in accordance herewith, Borrower shall have all of the incidents of ownership of the Loaned Securities, including the right to transfer the Loaned Securities to others. Lender hereby waives the right to vote the Loaned Securities during the term of the Loan.

7.1 Lender shall be entitled to receive all distributions made on or in respect of the Loaned Securities the record dates for which occur during the term of the Loan (or the record date for which occurs at a time following return of Loaned Securities upon termination of the Loan but prior to re-registration thereof in the name of Lender or its designee in the normal course) and which are not otherwise received by Lender, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Loaned Securities had not been lent to Borrower, including, but not limited to: (a) all property (including cash dividends and all other distributions of cash or property), (b) stock dividends and bonus issues, (c) securities received as a result of split ups of the Loaned Securities and distributions in respect thereof, (d) interest payments, (e) all rights to purchase additional securities, and (f) payments upon maturity or other redemption.

7.2 Any cash distributions made on or in respect of the Loaned Securities, which Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.1, shall be paid by the transfer of cash (denominated in the currency of issue for the Loaned Securities, unless otherwise agreed) to Lender by Borrower on the relevant payment date therefor, in an amount equal to such cash distribution (subject to the provisions of Section 7.6), so long as Lender is not then in Default. Non-cash distributions received by Borrower shall be added to the Loaned Securities (unless otherwise agreed by the parties) and shall be considered such for all purposes, except that if the Loan has terminated, Borrower shall forthwith deliver the same to Lender.

7.3 So long as Loaned Securities have not been returned to Lender and re-registered in the name of Lender or its nominee, the parties agree that all rights arising in respect of conversions, subdivisions, consolidations, redemptions, takeovers, preemptions, options or other rights shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall be deemed to have been exercised for the benefit of Lender in accordance with Lender’s prior instructions to Borrower. Borrower will use its best efforts to seek instructions from Lender with respect to each of the foregoing at such time and in such manner as to be able to act timely in accordance with such instructions. Borrower’s obligation to remit distributions and to return Loaned Securities upon the termination of the Loan shall be made after giving full effect to such instructions, irrespective of the extent of Borrower’s compliance with such instructions.

7.4 Borrower shall be entitled to receive all cash distributions made on or in respect of non-cash Collateral the record or payment dates for which occur during the term of the Loan and which are not otherwise received by Borrower, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Collateral had not been delivered to Lender. Any distributions made on or in respect of such Collateral which Borrower is entitled to receive hereunder shall be paid by the transfer of cash (denominated in the currency of issue of the non-cash Collateral, unless otherwise agreed) by Lender to Borrower, upon the date of Lender’s receipt, in an amount equal to such cash distribution (subject to the provision of Section 7.6), so long as Borrower is not then in Default.

7.5 Lender shall not be required to take any action pursuant to Section 7.4 to the extent that, as a result of such action, Borrower would become obligated to transfer Collateral to Lender under Section 8.

7.6 (a) If (i) Borrower is required to make a payment (a “Borrower Payment”) with respect to cash distributions on Loaned Securities under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (“Securities Distributions”) and (ii) Borrower, Borrower’s custodian or Lender (“Payor”) shall be required by law to collect any withholding or other tax required to be deducted or withheld from such Borrower Payment (“Tax”), then Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount of the Borrower Payment received by Lender for the benefit of the Affected Account, after payment of such Tax equals the net amount of the Securities Distribution that would have been received by the Affected Account if such Securities Distribution had been paid directly to it, provided, however, that any Borrower Payment shall also take into account (and Borrower shall pay such additional amounts which reflect) the value to the Affected Account (as notified, orally or in writing, by Lender to Borrower) of any tax refund, reclaim or credit which such Affected Account would otherwise have been entitled to had it not lent the securities to Borrower but instead had retained ownership thereof.

(b) If Lender is required to make a payment (“Lender Payment”) with respect to distributions on Collateral under Section 7.4 (“Collateral Distributions”), Lender shall pay to Borrower the net amount of the Collateral Distribution which Borrower would have received had it not pledged the Collateral and such Collateral Distribution had instead been paid directly by the applicable issuer(s) to Borrower.

(c) Each party shall supply to the other such tax information as may be requested by the other to enable it to effect the Borrower Payment or Lender Payment in the required amount, computed as per the immediately preceding paragraphs of this Section 7.

8.1 In the event that on any Business Day the market value of Collateral subject to a Loan shall be less than the Margin Percentage of the market value of the outstanding Loaned Securities subject to such Loan (a “Margin Deficit”), Lender may, by notice (which may be oral) to Borrower, demand that Borrower transfer to Lender additional Collateral so that the market value of such additional Collateral, when added to the market value of all other Collateral subject to such Loan, shall equal or exceed the agreed upon Margin Percentage of the market value of the Loaned Securities. Unless otherwise agreed, such transfer (in the case of Collateral denominated in U.S. dollars) is to be made in the United States in accordance with Lender’s instructions no later than 3:00 p.m. Boston time on the day of such demand if demand is made prior to 11:00 a.m. Boston time; in the case of all other types of Collateral and in the case of Collateral denominated in U.S. dollars where demand is made subsequent to 11:00 a.m. Boston time, such transfer shall be completed by the close of business of Lender (or its designee) in the location specified to Borrower for transfer of additional Collateral on the next succeeding day on which Lender (or its designee) is open for business thereat and not authorized or required to be closed. If the additional Collateral to be posted is intended to be through adjustment of a letter of credit heretofore delivered to Lender as Collateral, Borrower agrees to cause the issuing bank to amend the original letter of credit by delivery of an amended letter of credit to Lender within the applicable time period described in the preceding sentence.

8.2 In the event that on any Business Day the market value of all Collateral subject to a Loan shall be greater than the Margin Percentage of the market value of the outstanding Loaned Securities subject to such Loan (a “Margin Excess”), Borrower may, by notice (which may be oral) to Lender, demand that Lender transfer to Borrower such amount of the Collateral selected by Borrower so that the market value of the Collateral, after deduction of such amount, shall not exceed the Margin Percentage of the market value of the Loaned Securities. Unless otherwise agreed, such transfer (in the case of Collateral denominated in U.S. dollars) is to be made in the United States in accordance with Borrower’s instructions no later than the close of business of Lender on the day of such demand if demand is made prior to 11:00 a.m. Boston time; in the case of all other types of Collateral and in the case of Collateral denominated in U.S. dollars where demand is made subsequent to 11:00 a.m. Boston time, such transfer shall be completed by the close of business of Borrower (or its designee) in the location specified to Lender for transfer of excess Collateral on the next succeeding day on which Borrower (or its designee) is open for business thereat and not authorized or required to be closed; provided, however, that if Lender is requested to return a portion of any security constituting Collateral to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall, at the oral request of Lender, take all such action as is necessary to cause such security to be reissued in such denominations as are required to permit such a partial return and in such case Lender shall not be obligated to return Collateral hereunder unless and until such action has been taken and may thereafter make required returns of Collateral hereunder by returning such securities in such amounts as are, as nearly as practicable, equal to but not greater than the required return. The return to Borrower of securities the market value of which on the date on which the requirement to return the same was established was then sufficient to comply with such requirement of return shall be in full compliance with this Agreement and a full discharge of Lender’s obligation to make such return, notwithstanding the fact that at the date of such return the market value of any such securities may have declined. Where Collateral is in the form of a letter of credit, Lender agrees to promptly consent to a reduction in the undrawn balance of the letter of credit sufficient to eliminate the Margin Excess, and if Borrower delivers to Lender an amended letter of credit within the time period described in the second sentence of this Section 8.2.

8.3 Borrower and Lender may agree, with respect to one or more Loans hereunder, to mark the values to market pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 by valuing the Loaned Securities lent and the Collateral given in respect thereof on an aggregate basis.

8.4 Borrower and Lender may agree, with respect to any or all Loans hereunder, that the respective rights of Lender and Borrower under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 may be exercised only where a Margin Excess or Margin Deficit exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the market value of the Loaned Securities under such Loans (which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by Borrower and Lender prior to entering into any such Loans).

9. Representations of the Parties Hereto. The parties hereby make the following representations and warranties, which shall continue during the term of any Loan hereunder:

9.1 Each party hereto represents and warrants that (a) it has the power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the Loans contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder; (b) it has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance; and (c) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it (in the case of Lender, solely in its capacity as agent for the Account whose securities are the subject of a Loan).

9.2 Each party hereto represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and each Loan hereunder will at all times comply with all applicable laws and regulations including those of applicable securities regulatory and self-regulatory organizations.

9.4 Borrower represents and warrants that all Loans will comply with Regulation T and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that it (or the party to whom it relends the Loaned Securities) is borrowing the Loaned Securities for the purpose of making delivery of such securities in the case of short sales, failure to receive securities required to be delivered or other similar situations or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

9.5 Borrower represents and warrants that it has, or will have at the time of transfer to Lender of any Collateral hereunder (other than letters of credit), the right to grant to Lender a first priority security interest therein subject to the terms and conditions hereof. As to Collateral consisting of letters of credit transferred to Lender hereunder, Borrower represents and warrants that Lender shall have full unencumbered title thereto.

9.6 Lender represents and warrants that the Account acting as lender in any Loan has represented and warranted to it that the Loaned Securities transferred to Borrower shall be free and clear of any lien or encumbrance at the time of transfer, and Borrower represents and warrants that the return to Lender of Loaned Securities shall be free and clear of any lien or encumbrance at the time of such return.

9.7 Lender represents and warrants that as to each Account, such Account has represented and warranted to it that (i) such Account has duly authorized Lender, as agent, to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf, and to enter into Loans on its behalf, (ii) such Account has the requisite power to perform, and has been duly authorized to perform, the obligations imposed hereunder and under any Loan effected pursuant hereto, and (iii) the obligations of such Account in respect of any Loan effected pursuant to this Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Account, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

9.8 Each of the representations and warranties set out in Section 2(i), (ii), and (iii) and in Section 9, shall, notwithstanding any provision of Section 2 or 9 or any other provision of the Agreement, be deemed made and repeated for all purposes at and as of all times when any Loan entered into hereunder is outstanding.

10.1 (a) If Borrower is not a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act, it covenants as follows: Upon execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to the Lender Borrower’s and any parent company’s most recent available financial information, including (without limitation) the most recent available audited and unaudited statements of Borrower’s and any parent company’s financial condition that Borrower or such parent company is required to provide to any governmental agency or self regulatory body. As long as any Loan is outstanding under this Agreement, Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender all such financial information that is subsequently available, and any other financial information or statements that Lender may reasonably request.

(b) If Borrower is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act, it covenants as follows: Upon execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the most recent statements of Borrower required to be furnished to Borrower’s customers by Rule 17a-5(c) and (d) under the Exchange Act. As long as any Loan is outstanding under this Agreement, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender all such statements subsequently required to be furnished to Borrower’s customers by such Rule (or any successor thereto). Upon execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall also deliver to Lender Borrower’s and any parent company’s most recent financial information otherwise available to its shareholders, the SEC, or the public, as the case may be including (without limitation) the most recent available audited and unaudited statements of Borrower’s or any parent company’s financial condition and any report or notice required by Rules 17a-5(a)(2)(i) and (ii) and 17a-11 under the Exchange Act. As long as any Loan is outstanding under this Agreement, Borrower will promptly deliver to the Lender all such financial information that is subsequently available, and any other financial information or statements that Lender may reasonably request including profit and loss information.

(c) Upon request of Borrower, Lender shall request of any Account that such Account provide to Lender (for delivery to Borrower) a copy of such Account’s most recent financial statement.

10.2 Borrower shall be liable as principal with respect to its obligations hereunder and shall at all times in respect of each Loan effected pursuant hereto maintain Collateral having a market value at least equal to 100% of the market value of the Loaned Securities.

10.3 Borrower agrees to cause every letter of credit delivered by it and constituting Collateral hereunder to be renewed or replaced by Collateral (including, without limitation, a renewal or replacement letter of credit) satisfactory to Lender at least seven days prior to the scheduled expiration date of such letter of credit.

10.4 Borrower will give Lender immediate notice (i) if at any time there is entered against Borrower or any direct or indirect parent any order, decree, determination or instruction issued on the authority of any rule, regulation or proceeding of any governmental commission, bureau or other administrative agency or self-regulatory organization which could have a material adverse effect on the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to carry on its business as conducted at the date of this Agreement or which would prohibit expansion or require reduction of the business of the Borrower as conducted at the date of this Agreement or which might adversely affect the borrowing of securities by Borrower, (ii) if at any time there is commenced any investigation or proceeding which may result in the expulsion of Borrower from any stock exchange or from any self-regulatory organization, or a suspension of the Borrower’s power under any law to transact business as a broker or dealer in securities or if Borrower is so expelled or suspended, (iii) if at any time any communication is received by Borrower or any direct or indirect parent from any stock exchange, government agency, or regulatory body, constituting a warning to Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the violation, or threatened violation, of any rule or a failure to comply with which could have a material adverse effect on the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to carry on its business as conducted at the date of this Agreement or result in a prohibition on expansion or a requirement for reduction of the business of the Borrower as conducted at the date of this Agreement or adversely affect the borrowing of securities by Borrower, (iv) if at any time Borrower or any direct or indirect parent will receive information that Borrower or any direct or indirect parent is under special surveillance by any stock exchange, or by any other self-regulatory organization, (v) if at any time Borrower or any direct or indirect parent shall receive information that the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) has been notified pursuant to Section 5(a) (1) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPC Act”) of facts which indicate that Borrower is in or is approaching financial difficulty, or (vi) if at any time SIPC shall file an application for a protective decree with respect to the Borrower under Section 5(a)(3) of the SIPC Act. Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of the event which has occurred and of the action, if any, which Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto. Borrower will forward to Lender a copy of any order, decree, determination, instruction or other written evidence received by it of or with respect to any matter referred to in the first sentence of this subparagraph 10.4.

10.5 Borrower and Lender hereto agree and acknowledge that (a) each Loan hereunder is a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), (b) each and every transfer of funds, securities and other property under this Agreement and each Loan hereunder is a “settlement payment” or a “margin payment,” as such terms are used in Sections 362(b)(6) and 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) the rights given to Borrower and Lender hereunder upon a Default by the other constitute the right to cause the liquidation of a securities contract and the right to set off mutual debts and claims in connection with a securities contract, as such terms are used in Sections 555 and 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each party hereto further agrees and acknowledges that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Loan hereunder is a “securities contract” and “qualified financial contract,” as such terms are defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder.

10.6 Borrower will, from time to time, do and perform any and all acts and execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by Lender more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of financing statements and continuation statements relating to the Collateral under the provisions of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

11. Events of Default. All Loans between Borrower and Lender may, at the option of the non-defaulting party exercised by notice to the defaulting party (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an event specified in subsection (e) below), be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (individually, a “Default”):

12. Lender’s Remedies. If (a) any Default shall occur in respect of which Borrower is the defaulting party or (b) Lender is obligated to redeliver, or is otherwise deprived of its rights to, any Loaned Securities after their return, or is in any way required to pay their value or any related sum over, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, or other similar proceeding relating to Borrower or pursuant to any legal requirement, including without limitation any laws relating to so-called ‘preferences’ or preferential payments, Lender shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or under applicable law (without further notice to Borrower), (i) to purchase, within a commercially reasonable time (taking into consideration the nature of the market for the Loaned Securities), a like amount of the Loaned Securities in the principal market for such securities, (ii) or to treat the Loaned Securities as having been purchased by Borrower at a purchase price equal to the market value thereof (such market value obtained from a generally recognized source or the last bid quotation from such a source at the end of the primary trading session established by the principal market for such security on a Business Day) on the day it exercises such right, and may apply the Collateral to the payment of such purchase (whether actual or deemed), after deducting therefrom all amounts, if any, due Lender under Sections 4, 7, 14 and 17 hereof. Lender may also apply the Collateral to any other obligation of Borrower under this Agreement, including distributions paid to Borrower (and not forwarded to Lender) in respect of Loaned Securities. In the event the purchase price exceeds the market value of the Collateral on the date of purchase, Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the amount of such excess (plus all amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder) together with interest on all such amounts, in the case of purchases of Foreign Securities, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 2%, and in the case of purchases of any other securities (or other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder) at a per annum rate equal to the Fed Funds Rate plus 2%, as it fluctuates from day to day, from the date of such purchase until the date of payment of such excess. Lender shall have, as security for Borrower’s obligation to pay such excess, a security interest in or right of setoff against any property of Borrower then held by Lender and any other amount payable by Lender to Borrower. The purchase price of securities purchased under this Section 12 shall include broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase or exercise of remedies including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses. Upon the satisfaction of all obligations hereunder, any remaining Collateral shall be returned to Borrower.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement, Lender shall not be obligated to make any payment to Borrower under the Agreement or in respect of any Loan (including without limitation any return of Collateral) at any time after a Default by Borrower has occurred unless and until Borrower has satisfied all of its obligations (contingent or otherwise) to Lender, whether or not such obligations have at the time matured.

13. Borrower’s Remedies. In the event of any Default involving Lender or an Account under Section 11 hereof, Borrower shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or under applicable law (without further notice to Lender) to sell (or be deemed to have sold) a like amount of the Loaned Securities in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner on the day of the Default and to retain (or be deemed to have realized) the proceeds of such sale. In such event, Borrower may treat the Loaned Securities as its own and Lender’s obligation to return the Collateral consisting of cash or securities shall terminate. In the event the sales price received (or deemed to have been received) from such securities is less than the market value of the Collateral consisting of cash or securities on the date of sale (or deemed sale), the Account which defaulted on the Loan shall be liable to Borrower for the amount of any deficiency (plus all amounts, if any, due to Borrower

hereunder), together with interest on all such amounts, in the case of Collateral consisting of Foreign Securities, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 2%, and in the case of Collateral consisting of any other securities (or other amounts due, if any, to Borrower hereunder), at a per annum rate equal to the Fed Funds Rate plus 2%, as it fluctuates from day to day, from the date of such sale until the date of payment of such deficiency. Borrower shall have, as security for the Account’s obligation to pay such deficiency, a security interest in or right of setoff against any property of the Account then held by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other amount payable by Borrower to Lender in respect of such Account arising hereunder. In calculating this deficiency, there shall be deducted from the proceeds of the securities sold under this Section 13, broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related (or deemed related) to such sale or exercise of remedies including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses. Upon the satisfaction of all the Account’s obligations hereunder, any remaining Loaned Securities (or remaining net cash proceeds from sale or deemed sale thereof) shall be returned to Lender.

Where Collateral consists of a letter of credit, Lender, upon the exercise or deemed exercise by Borrower of its termination rights under Section 11, shall immediately return the letter of credit to Borrower and not seek to draw thereunder and Borrower shall return to Lender an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale (or deemed sale) of the Loaned Securities as reduced by all other amounts due to Borrower.

14. Transfer Taxes. All necessary costs, including, without limitation, transfer taxes, stamp duties and fees with respect to any transfers hereunder of Loaned Securities or Collateral shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall ensure that this Agreement and all instruments of transfer in respect of any Loaned Securities or Collateral shall have been stamped in accordance with all applicable laws.

15.3 “Affiliate” shall mean any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another entity.

15.7 “Business Day” shall mean, with respect to any Loan hereunder, any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) recognized as a settlement day in the principal market in which the Loaned Securities are traded, provided, however, that for purposes of computing market value in Section 16, “Business Day” shall mean a day on which regular trading occurs in the principal market for the securities whose value is being determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of marking to market in Section 8, “Business Day” shall mean any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) (i) on which regular trading occurs in the principal market for any Loaned Securities or for any securities Collateral under any outstanding Loan or (ii) on which transfers of cash Collateral may be effected by Lender and Borrower (or any nominee or agent thereof).

15.10 “Collateral” shall mean, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, (a) all cash in a currency acceptable to Lender which is delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3 or 8, (b) any property in which such cash is invested or reinvested (but not the income or distributions thereon or realized gains derived from Lender’s use or

investment of such collateral, all of which shall in any event be the property of Lender), (c) any securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or issued by agencies or instrumentalities thereof which may not be guaranteed by the United States government or by a foreign sovereign acceptable to Lender which are delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3 or 8, including the interest or distributions thereon or other income therefrom, (d) all irrevocable letters of credit, issued by issuers acceptable to Lender and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, which are delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3 or 8, and (e) all proceeds of each of the foregoing.

15.11 “Collateral Distributions” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.6.

15.13 “Contractual Currency” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 16.2.

15.17 “Federal Funds Rate” shall mean the rate of interest (expressed as an annual rate), as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) or any publication substituted therefor, charged for federal funds (dollars in immediately available funds borrowed by banks on an overnight unsecured basis) on that day or, if that day is not a banking day in New York City, on the next preceding banking day.

15.18 “Foreign Securities” shall mean, unless otherwise agreed, securities that are principally cleared and settled outside the United States.

15.21 “LIBOR” shall mean for any date, the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of three months which appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such date (or, if at least two such rates appear, the arithmetic mean of such rates).

15.23 “Loaned Security” shall mean any security which is transferred pursuant to any Loan and shall be deemed to include any securities into which any Loaned Securities may at any time be converted or for which they may be exchanged, any additional securities distributed with respect to Loaned Securities, and any securities issued otherwise in respect thereof, including without limitation in any sub-division, consolidation, or exchange, unless the Confirmation in respect of the Loan in question specifically provides to the contrary.

15.29 “Securities Distributions” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.6.

15.30 “SIPC” and “SIPC Act” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 10.4.

16.1 With respect to Loaned Securities and Collateral consisting of securities, market value as of any date shall be determined on the basis of the closing prices therefor as of the trading day (for the principal market in which the securities are traded) immediately preceding the day of valuation, such determination to be made by the independent pricing source notified to Borrower by Lender upon Borrower’s request. Such notification may be oral. Market value shall include accrued interest in the case of debt securities. With respect to Collateral consisting of cash, market value as of any date shall be the face amount thereof held by Lender at the time of determination and, with respect to Collateral consisting of letters of credit, market value as of any date shall be the undrawn balance thereof which Lender may at such time draw thereunder except that if, in the judgment of Lender, the creditworthiness of the issuer of any letter of credit has been or may be impaired, then, upon notice to Borrower, the market value of such letter of credit shall be zero.

16.2 Unless otherwise agreed, where the Loaned Securities in respect of a Loan are denominated in a currency other than the currency in which the related Collateral is denominated, the currency which shall be applicable for purposes of determining market value shall be the currency in which the Collateral is denominated (the “Contractual Currency”), and any Loaned Security not denominated in the Contractual Currency shall be converted into a Contractual Currency equivalent based on the most current spot rate of exchange quoted by the independent source of exchange rates as notified to Borrower by Lender upon Borrower’s request. Such notification may be oral.

17.1 Unless otherwise agreed, each payment of cash under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.2) shall be made in the Contractual Currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payee of any such payment may, at its option, accept tender thereof in any other currency; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligation of the payor to make such payment will be discharged only to the extent of the amount of Contractual Currency that such payee may, consistent with normal banking procedures, purchase with such other currency (after deduction of any premium and costs of exchange) on the banking day next succeeding its receipt of such currency.

17.2 If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency received under Section 17.1, including amounts received after conversion of any recovery under any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency, falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency due in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will (unless a Default has occurred and such party is the non defaulting party), as a separate and independent obligation and to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall.

17.3 If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency received under Section 17.1 exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency due in respect of this Agreement, then the party receiving the payment will (unless a Default has occurred and such party is the non defaulting party) refund promptly the amount of such excess.

18. ERISA. Lender shall, if any of the Securities transferred to the Borrower hereunder for any Loan have been or shall be obtained, directly or indirectly, from or using the assets of any Plan, so notify Borrower in writing upon the execution of this Agreement or upon initiation of such Loan under Section 2.1. If Lender so notifies Borrower, then Borrower and Lender shall conduct the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2006-16 (71 Fed. Reg. 63786, Oct. 31, 2006), or any successor thereto (unless Borrower and Lender have agreed prior to entering into a Loan that such Loan will be conducted in reliance on another exemption, or without relying on any exemption, from the prohibited transaction

provisions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Loan will be conducted in accordance with Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2006-16, then:

18.1 Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that it is either (a) a bank subject to federal or state supervision, (b) a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act or (c) exempt from registration under Section 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act as a dealer in Government Securities.

18.2 Borrower represents and warrants that, during the term of any Loan hereunder, neither Borrower nor any affiliate of Borrower has any discretionary authority or control with

respect to the investment of the assets of the Plan involved in the Loan or renders investment advice (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-21(c)) with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the Loan.

18.3 Borrower shall mark to market daily each Loan hereunder pursuant to Section 9.1 as is

For purposes hereof, “Plan” shall mean (a) any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 which is subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of such Act; (b) any “plan” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; or (c) any entity the assets of which are deemed to be assets of any such “employee benefit plan” or “plan” by reason of the Department of Labor’s plan asset regulation, 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

19. Obligations to be Separate. Each and every obligation, liability or undertaking of an Account with respect to any Loan shall be solely an obligation, liability or undertaking of, and binding upon, the Account by which such Loan is made (“Affected Account”) and shall be payable solely from the available assets of such Account. No such obligation, liability or undertaking shall be binding upon or affect any other Account. Neither Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (in its individual capacity) nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any liability to Borrower whatsoever in respect of any Loan, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall have recourse solely to the Affected Account in the event of the occurrence of a Default involving the Affected Account.

20. Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and the Affected Account (including the sponsor and fiduciaries of any Affected Account which is a Plan) from any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which Lender or the Affected Account may incur or suffer arising in any way out of the use by Borrower of Loaned Securities or any failure of Borrower to deliver Loaned Securities in accordance herewith or to otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.

21. Calculations. All determinations of the value of securities, Collateral, or other property or amounts for any purpose under this Agreement shall be made in good faith by Lender.

22. Limitation of Liability. A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Account which is a Massachusetts business trust is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice is hereby given that this instrument is executed on behalf of the Trustees of each such Account as Trustees and not individually and that the obligations of this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees or shareholders of such Account individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of each such Account.

23. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

24. 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. All waivers in respect of a Default must be in writing.

25. Remedies. All remedies hereunder shall survive the termination of the relevant Loan, return of Loaned Securities or Collateral and termination of this Agreement.

26. Notices and Other Communications. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be sufficient if made in writing and delivered or transmitted (as the case may be) by registered mail, facsimile, telex, or courier, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing and delivered or transmitted as aforesaid, to the intended recipient at the addresses (or to the numbers) set forth on the signature page hereof. Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

27. Miscellaneous. This Agreement supersedes any other agreement between the parties concerning loans of securities between the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving written notice to the other, subject only to fulfillment of any obligations then outstanding. This Agreement shall not be modified, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
