GLOBAL SECURITIES LENDING AGENCY AGREEMENT
This Global Securities Lending Agency Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2018 (this Agency Agreement), is entered into by and between (i) CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking organization (the Agent) and (ii) JPMorgan Trust I, JPMorgan Trust II, JPMorgan Trust III, JPMorgan Trust IV, J.P. Morgan Fleming Mutual Fund Group, Inc., J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust, JPMorgan Institutional Trust, JPMorgan Insurance Trust, Undiscovered Managers Funds (each, a Trust and, collectively, the Trusts), each a registered management investment company organized and existing under the laws of Delaware, Massachusetts or Maryland, each on behalf of their series portfolios listed as corresponding to such Trusts name on Exhibit A severally and not jointly, (each series portfolio, a Lender and, collectively, the Lenders). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Lending Agreements (as defined below).
WHEREAS, each Lender wishes to appoint the Agent, and the Agent is willing to accept such appointment, to lend certain of the Lenders securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agency Agreement.
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Agent and the Lender agree as follows:
1. | Appointment and Acceptance; the Agents Authorization. |
a. The Lender hereby appoints the Agent, and the Agent hereby accepts its appointment, as the Lenders securities lending agent with the duties and obligations set forth in this Agency Agreement. No covenants or obligations not set forth herein shall be implied as a result of this Agency Agreement.
b. The Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Agent to arrange and administer loans of securities (the Loans) maintained in accounts listed on Exhibit A or as agreed upon by the parties from time to time (such accounts, the Designated Accounts and the assets and securities contained therein, the Securities). Securities that are the subject of a Loan shall be referred to as Loaned Securities. Lender may instruct Agent not to lend certain securities or security types, or to not lend Securities held by certain Lenders and Agent agrees to comply with any such Instruction.
c. The Agent may utilize one or more omnibus securities accounts, opened on its own books for the account of its customers (the Administration Account(s)), for the temporary receipt and delivery of Loaned Securities. Assets and securities comprised in the Administration Account(s) will become Loaned Securities when the Loans are consummated. Agent will promptly credit such delivery of Loaned Securities into the Lenders account.
d. The Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Agent to enter into Loans on behalf of the Lender solely with the entities identified in Schedule I hereto or as otherwise identified by the Lender in writing from time to time (each, a Borrower).
e. Prior to arranging a Loan with a Borrower, the Agent will, on behalf of the Lender, enter into lending agreements substantially in the form of the agreements included in Schedule VI hereto (such agreements shall be collectively or individually referred to as Lending Agreements). The Lender agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of each Lending Agreement entered into by the Agent on its behalf. Agent shall notify Lender of any changes or updates to the forms listed in Schedule VI. Agent will verify, at the initiation of each Loan, that the Lenders lending limit and other limitations specified by Lender will not be exceeded after giving effect to such Loan.
2. | The Agents Services. In addition to the foregoing, the Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to perform the following functions: |
a. To negotiate rebates and/or lending fees with the Borrowers within the parameters provided by the Lender.
b. To collect from Borrowers the cash, securities or other financial instruments that will serve as collateral for the Loans (Collateral). The Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Agent to accept on behalf of the Lender as collateral for Loans the types of financial instruments identified in Schedule II to this Agency Agreement.
c. To enter into and sign, as agent for the Lender, such documents and instruments, including but not limited to subscription agreements, asset management agreements or other relevant agreements as are required for the investment of Collateral. The Lender agrees to be bound to the terms of any such agreement.
d. To hold in custody, or enter into any required agreement with a third party custodian that will hold in custody, any and all Collateral delivered by the Borrowers in respect of Loans. Subject to the terms hereof, Collateral held by the Agent shall be segregated on the Agents books and records as being maintained solely for the benefit of the Lender and segregated from Agents own assets. To the extent Citibank, N.A. does not act as custodian for the Designated Accounts, the parties agree to the additional custody terms outlined in Exhibit B.
e. Subject to the terms hereof, Lender assets and securities in the Administration Account shall be segregated on the Agents books and records as being maintained solely for the benefit of the Lenders and segregated from Agents own assets. Agent maintains books and records which identify the interest of each applicable Lender in assets in the Administration Account.
f. If requested by the Lender, to invest on the Lenders behalf all cash Collateral delivered by Borrowers in respect of Loans. The Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Agent to invest cash Collateral pursuant to the parameters outlined on Schedule III to this Agency Agreement. The Agents obligation with respect to the investments of cash Collateral shall be to make initial investments of cash Collateral within the parameters of Schedule III or as otherwise instructed by Lender.
g. To perform daily the mark-to-market function described in the Lending Agreements as the Lenders agent and to request and return Collateral as set forth in the Lending Agreements. The Lender acknowledges that the Agent will calculate the value of Loaned Securities and Collateral by reference to information provided by recognized pricing services, and shall have no liability for any errors or omissions in such information provided by such sources. In recognition of the obligation of Lenders board of directors to oversee fund asset valuation, Agent shall provide Lender with such information as Lender may reasonably request about the pricing services used by Agent.
h. To collect or arrange for the collection of any interest, dividends or other distributions or other payments of any kind on Loaned Securities (including but not limited to manufactured dividends, if any, and other distributions due to the Lender in respect of the Loan) and pay the same to the Lender.
i. To pay at Agents expense third party lending agent fees charged by Lenders Custodian as set forth on Schedule IV.
j. Agent shall provide such reports, statements and presentations as agreed upon by Lender and Agent from time to time. At a minimum, Agent shall provide the following reports and statements: Agent (i) will, upon request by Lender, mail to Lender a daily statement of activity setting forth information relating to loaned securities, marks-to-market and terminations and (ii) will send to each 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 Loans, the income received (or loss incurred) from such invested Collateral, the amounts of any fees or payments paid or to be paid with respect to each loan and such other information as Agent and Lender may agree to from time to time. In addition to the foregoing, Agent shall provide the following: (1) on each Business Day via a system of on line reporting, a daily report for each Lender including loan detail, outstanding collateral report, percent on loan report, and restricted securities report; (2) on each Business Day, compliance reporting and attestations including loans
conducted with unapproved borrowers, loans conducted in unapproved markets, loans collateralized under 102% (105% for non-U.S. securities), restricted securities on-loan, and any Lender above the lending limit; (3) on a weekly basis, a mark to market report; (4) on a quarterly basis, the amount of any payments made by borrowers including a description of substitution payments made pursuant to this Agreement; (5) on an as needed basis, a report concerning substitute or manufactured dividend income; and (6) such additional reporting as agreed upon by the parties from time to time.
k. Agent shall make appropriate persons available for the purpose of reviewing with representatives of the Lender and the Board on a regular basis at reasonable times the services provided under this Agreement and general conditions affecting the securities lending market. Agent agrees to render to the Lender and the Board on a timely basis such other periodic and special reports regarding its activities under this Agreement as the Lender or the Board may reasonably request.
l. Agent shall not initiate negative loans (loans for which the rebate exceeds the earnings on the investment of Collateral). This provision may be varied by the Lender by a direction in writing without a formal amendment of this Agreement.
m. In all its lending transactions on behalf of Lender (whether in the U.S. or outside of the U.S., and whether with U.S. or non-U.S. Borrowers) Agents securities lending shall comply with the requirements of Section 1058 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Furthermore, Agents securities lending shall comply with the following requirements in the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations under Section 1058: (A) the securities transfer agreement must be in writing; and (B) the agreement must provide that Lender may terminate the securities loan transaction upon notice of not more than five (5) Business Days. If in the future further U.S. Treasury Regulations are proposed under Section 1058, Agent shall within thirty (30) days of learning of any such further proposed regulations advise Lender if it is unable or unwilling to comply with new requirements contained in such proposed regulations.
n. Agent may: (i) terminate or subject to any limitations specified herein (including in the Schedules hereto) modify any Loan at any time and (ii) review and delete any Borrowers and/or investment counterparties at any time. Agent hereby acknowledges that Lender itself may instruct Agent to terminate any Loan on any date subject to the conditions of the relevant Lending Agreement and impose additional limitations on any Borrower.
3. | Representations and Warranties. |
a. The Lender and the Agent each hereby represent and warrant that, throughout the term of this Agency Agreement, and for as long thereafter as a Loan is outstanding: (i) Each party is authorized, under the terms of its organizational documents, the terms of any agreements with any third party, and the laws, rules and regulations that govern it, to enter into this Agency Agreement and be bound thereby, to enter into the Loans, and to invest cash received as Collateral, in the case of the Lender as principal and in the case of the Agent as agent; and (ii) The person executing this Agency Agreement on its behalf has been, and all Authorized Persons acting on behalf of such party will have been, duly and properly authorized to do so.
b. Lender represents and warrants that, throughout the term of this Agency Agreement, and as long thereafter as a Loan is outstanding: (i) the Securities in the Designated Accounts are, and shall be at the time Loans are made, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except as may be set forth in a custody agreement with Citibank, N.A. or JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., and except for any lien or other encumbrance routinely imposed on securities held in a relevant settlement or clearing system, and the Lender has full right, title and interest in and to and has not transferred, assigned or encumbered any interest or rights with respect to the Securities, this Agency Agreement, the Lending Agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) the Lender is not relying on the Agent to advise it on the suitability for the Lender of entering into any of the Lending Agreements nor the credit worthiness of any particular Borrower.
c. Both parties agree that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3 shall be ongoing in nature, and shall continue throughout the term of this Agency Agreement. If, during the term of this Agency Agreement, either party has reason to believe that any representation or warranty made hereunder is or soon will not be true and correct, then that party is obliged to notify the other party thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.
4. | Liability of Agent; Indemnification. |
a. Indemnification by Agent. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 5 of this Agency Agreement, and in addition to the indemnification set forth in Section 4(b) below, the Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against damages, losses, costs and fees incurred by the Lender that result from Agents negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in performing its duties hereunder.
b. Indemnification for Borrower Defaults. If there occurs an event of default by the Borrower under a Lending Agreement, the Agent shall indemnify the Lender as follows: the Agent shall liquidate the Collateral for its use in connection with this indemnification and within five (5) business days after the date of declaration of the default: (i) replace the Loaned Securities or purchase Replacement Securities or Equivalent Securities as such terms are defined in the relevant Lending Agreement (as more fully set forth on Schedule VI); or (ii) if Replacement Securities or Equivalent Securities cannot be obtained within five (5) business days, pay the Applicable Lender an amount that is equal to the value of the Loaned Securities at the time at which the Loaned Securities were due to have been returned by the Borrower, or, if at such time a value is not determinable, the latest prior time at which a value is determinable. Replacement under clause (b)(i) or payment under clause (b)(ii) shall include payment by the Agent for any manufactured income which remains unpaid through the date of replacement or payment, the amount of any overdraft charges charged by the custodian and (if the replacement occurs through a buy-in) the costs and penalties associated with such buy-in. Consistent with market practice, the Agent may decline to declare an event of default in cases where it determines that a solvent Borrowers failure to return a Loaned Security is temporary or administrative in nature and such failure is remedied within two (2) business days, but in no event shall the delivery of Replacement Securities or Equivalent Securities exceed the five (5) business days provided under clause (b)(i). To the extent that there is a conflict between this provision and the indemnification of Agent in Section 4(c) below, the terms of this provision shall govern.
c. Indemnification by Lender. The Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, Taxes (as hereinafter defined) and fees incurred by the Agent that result from: (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent in acting in accordance with the terms of this Agency Agreement, or the Lending Agreements; or (ii) as a consequence of carrying out any Instructions of the Lender except where the Agent is negligent or acts with willful misconduct or fraud in carrying out those instructions.
5. | Limitation of Liability. |
Except with respect to the indemnification set forth in section (b), in addition to any other limits set forth herein:
a. Agents liability under section 4.a of this Agency Agreement, whether to Lender or any creditor of Lender shall be limited to an amount equal to the market value of the securities that are the subject of the loan, investment or transaction to which the damage relates calculated at the time of the alleged act or omission giving rise to the loss. If the act or omission resulted in the imposition of buy-in or similar penalties against lender in addition to the market value of the securities, Agent shall also be liable for such penalties.
b. Under no circumstances shall Agent be liable for (i) special, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits or loss of business, (ii) any liability incurred as a result of the actions or inactions of any pricing agencies, depositories or any third party custodian, or (iii) any loss arising out of any suspension of the agents duties and obligations hereunder as a result of any law, regulation, decree, order or governmental act that prevents or limits the performance of such duties and obligations (including the suspension of trading), except insofar as that decree, order or governmental act is imposed as a sanction against Agent
due to an act or omission of the Agent in violation of Applicable Law (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Agent appoints a sub-agent or sub-custodian to perform duties under this Agency Agreement, the Agent shall be responsible for acts and omissions of the sub-agent or sub-custodian as though any action or omission was the act or omission of the Agent. The Agent agrees that any sub-custodian appointed by it shall comply with the requirements of Section 17(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent and to defend and hold the Agent harmless from all Losses incurred by the Agent as a result of a third party custodian appointed at the direction of Lender failing to comply with the instructions given to it under Clause 9(c).
c. The Agent may refrain from beginning or defending any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with any loan until it shall have received such indemnity and security as it may require for all costs, claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) and liabilities which it will or may expend or incur in relation thereto.
6. | Lien/Set -Off. |
a. In addition to any other remedies available to the Agent under Applicable Law, the Agent shall have, and the Lender hereby grants, a continuing general lien on all securities in Agents possession and control (provided that Agent shall have no lien or security interest in any Security issued or guaranteed by Agent or its affiliates or if such lien or security interest in prohibited by law) and any Collateral sitting in any collateral account held by the Agent until the satisfaction of liabilities arising under this Agency Agreement of the Lender to the Agent in respect to any fees and expenses incurred in the performance of services under, or any advances of funds made by the Agent under, this Agency Agreement; and
b. In additional to any other remedies available to the Agent under Applicable Law, the Agent may without prior notice to the Lender, set off any payment obligation due and owed to it by the Lender in connection with all liabilities arising under this Agency Agreement against any payment obligation owed by it to the Lender under this Agency Agreement regardless of the place of payment or currency of either obligation (and for such purpose may make any currency conversion necessary).
7. | Subrogation. If the Agent makes any transfer or payment to Lender as a result of a failure by a Borrower to return any Loaned Securities, the Lender agrees that the Agent is and will be subrogated to all the Lenders rights with respect to such failure in and to the Lending Agreements and the Collateral under such Lending Agreements and the Lender hereby assigns to the Agent all such rights. |
8. | Duties of the Lender; Fees; Taxes. |
a. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agency Agreement to the contrary, the Lender acknowledges and agrees that the investment of cash or other property received as Collateral is for the Lenders account and risk provided that such investment is made by Agent in accordance with Schedule III. The Lender agrees that to the extent any investment losses reduce the amount of cash below the amount required by the Loan and/or mark to market process, the Lender will, on the Agents demand, pay to the Agent such amount in cash, which the Agent will receive and use as, or reimburse for, Collateral. If the Lender fails to make any payment due to the Agent, the Lender will be liable to the Agent for the amount of any such payment, together with interest on such amount at the rate specified in Section 11, from the date of the Agents demand referred to above until payment of such liability.
b. In consideration of the services provided hereunder the Lender agrees to pay to the Agent an amount equal to a fixed percentage of (i) the investment income (net of rebates) on cash Collateral delivered to the Agent on the Lenders behalf in respect of any Loans by the Borrowers, and (ii) fees paid in connection with transactions for which non-cash Collateral is provided by Borrowers. These amounts shall be set forth on Schedule IV of this Agency Agreement. The Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to withhold such fees on a monthly basis from the amounts payable to the Lender in respect of such investment and fee income or as otherwise agreed in writing.
c. The Agent shall not be liable for any taxes, assessments or governmental charges that may be levied or assessed on any basis whatsoever in connection with the Lender (Taxes; Taxes shall not, however, include taxes assessed against the Agent related to its own income or assets). The Lender agrees that Taxes shall be paid by the Lender. The Agent will deduct or withhold for or on account of Taxes from any payment to the Lender if required by any law including, but not limited to (i) any statute or regulation, (ii) any agreement entered into by the Agent and any governmental authority or between any two or more governmental authorities, or (iii) a requirement of any legal, governmental or regulatory authority, where any statute, regulation or governmental authority may be domestic or foreign (any of (i), (ii) or (iii) referred to herein as Applicable Law). The Lender acknowledges that the Agent may debit any amount available in any balance held for the Lender and apply such amount in satisfaction of Taxes. The Agent will timely pay the full amount debited or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with the Applicable Law as provided in this Clause. If any Taxes become payable with respect to any prior credit to the Lender by the Agent, the Lender acknowledges that the Agent may debit any balance held for the Lender in satisfaction of such prior Taxes. The Lender shall remain liable for any deficiency and agrees that it shall pay it upon notice from the Agent or any governmental authority. If Taxes are paid by the Agent or any of its affiliates, the Lender shall promptly reimburse the Agent for such payment to the extent not covered by withholding from any payment or debited from any balance held for the Lender.
9. | Instructions |
a. The Agent is entitled to rely and act upon any and all instructions (including, consents and notices) received by the Agent, communciated through any manual or electronic medium or system as agreed to by the parties (Instructions) of any person identified by the Lender as an Authorized Person in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby until the Agent has received notice of any change from the Lender and has had a reasonable time to note and implement such change. The Agent is authorized to rely upon any Instructions received by any means, provided that the Agent and the Lender have agreed upon the means of transmission and the method of identification for the Instructions. In particular:
(i) | The Lender and the Agent will comply with security procedures designed and agreed upon to verify the origination of Instructions. |
(ii) | The Agent is not responsible for errors or omissions made by the Lender or resulting from fraud or the duplication of any Instruction by the Lender (except that this exculpation shall not apply if such fraud or duplication by the Lender is ultimately attributable to an act of fraud or duplication by the Agent), and the Agent may act on any Instruction by reference to an account number only, even if no account name is provided. |
(iii) | The Agent may act on an Instruction if it reasonably believes it contains sufficient information. |
(iv) | The Agent may decide not to act on an Instruction where it reasonably doubts its contents, completeness, authorization, origination or compliance with any security procedures or where Instructions are given which conflict with each other but the Agent will promptly notify the Lender of its decision. |
(v) | If the Agent acts on any Instruction sent manually (including by facsimile or telephone), then, if the Agent complies with the security procedures as referred to under Sub-Clause 9(a)(i) above, the Lender will be responsible for any loss the Agent may incur in connection with that Instruction. The Lender expressly acknowledges that the Lender is aware that the use of manual forms of communication to convey Instructions increases the risk of error, security and privacy issues and fraudulent activities. |
(vi) | Instructions are to be given in the English language. |
(vii) | The Agent may refuse to execute Instructions if, in the Agents reasonable opinion, they are contrary to any Applicable Law, rule or other regulatory requirement, whether arising from any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or that of a relevant stock exchange, clearing house, settlement system or market. |
(viii) | In some securities markets, securities deliveries and payments therefor may not be or are not customarily made simultaneously. Accordingly, notwithstanding the relevant Instruction to deliver any part of the Collateral against payment or to pay for any part of the Collateral against delivery, the Agent may make or accept payment for or delivery of any part of the Collateral at such time and in such form and manner as is in accordance with relevant local law and practice or with the customs prevailing in the relevant market; provided that Agent shall not deliver Securities for Loan unless the Collateral therefor has been received concurrently or prior thereto. |
b. The Lender agrees to provide written instructions related to the termination or modification of the terms of a Loan or otherwise as to the recall of Loaned Securities: (i) by electronic mail or SWIFT message; (ii) to the department or desk of the Agent that is separately identified to the Lender; and (iii) in accordance with the deadlines and cutoff times set forth on Schedule V to this Agency Agreement, and to cause all of its investment managers and/or advisors with access to the Designated Accounts to so advise the Agent, or of any securities in the Designated Accounts it or they, as applicable, shall sell or have sold. The Lender understands that the Agent shall have no liability as a result of the failure of the Lender and/or its investment managers/advisors to give this notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.b.
c. The Lender agrees to give irrevocable instructions to its custodian substantially in the form of those set out in Annex 1 to Exhibit A (unless a custody rider is agreed in lieu thereof) : (i) to act in accordance with any instructions given from time to time by the Agent (acting through duly authorised individuals as notified to the Lenders custodian in writing), including instructions relating to the settlement of transactions effected by the Agent on behalf of the Lender pursuant to any Lending Agreement and the transfer of Securities to or from the Designated Accounts at the direction of the Agent to enable the Agent to meet its obligations hereunder and the Lending Agreements; (ii) to provide, at such times and in such form as the Agent may require, regular update information regarding the status of any action by the Lenders custodian required by an instruction given by the Lender to such custodian; and (iii) to provide the Agent with information about the Loaned Securities, provided that such irrevocable instructions may be revoked by the Lender upon the termination of this Agency Agreement.
10. | Lender Information. a. The Agent may rely on the information received from Lender, including but not limited to tax-related information, in connection herewith, particularly in agreeing and collecting any income due under a Lending Agreement. Request for such information by the Agent hereunder may be made from time to time during the term of this Agency Agreement. The Agent shall not incur any liability for any loss, damages or costs arising directly or indirectly from the inaccuracy of information provided by the Lender or a failure by the Lender to supply information requested hereunder. |
b. The Lender shall provide the Agent with information and proof (copies or originals) as to the
Lenders and/or its underlying beneficial owners Tax status or residence or other information as the Agent reasonably requests in order for the Agent to comply with Applicable Law. Information and proof may include executed certificates, representations and warranties, or other documentation the Agent reasonably deems necessary or proper to fulfill the requirements of relevant Tax authorities. The Lender shall notify the Agent in writing within 30 days of any material change in, or in the validity of, information previously provided to the Agent.
11. | Advances. The Lender agrees to repay the Agent promptly for any advances of funds that the Agent may from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, make to or for the account of the Lender in connection with and to facilitate the transactions contemplated in this Agency Agreement and the Lending Agreements. In |
such event, Agent shall notify Lender that it will be making or has made an advance and the Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance or payment, together with interest on such amounts, at a rate per annum equal to Citis Pool Rate (the rate charged to Agent by Citigroup Treasury, currently Overnight LIBOR plus a liquidity premium charge), from the date of the Agents advance or the due date of such payment, as appropriate, until payment by the Lender of such liability. The Agent may withhold all such amounts from the amounts payable to the Lender hereunder. Agent will provide notice of the rate charged and of any changes to the Pool Rate setting methodology. |
12. | Disclosure/Confidentiality/Data Security. |
a. The Agent shall treat, any information acquired as a result of or pursuant to this Agreement as confidential.

Such information shall be provided to such Borrowers, third parties, agents and affiliates under conditions of confidentiality and only for the purposes of effecting or maintaining loans and providing the services contemplated by this Agency Agreement.
c. The Agent shall take commercially reasonable measures to maintain a comprehensive data security and cybersecurity program that contains appropriate administrative, technical and physical security measures designed to detect, prevent and mitigate the risk of destruction, loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, use and/or alteration of Confidential Information.

d. Except as provided in Section 12(a), the Lender agrees that no printed materials or other matter (in any language) that mention Citi, Citigroup Inc., Citibank, N.A., Citibank Europe plc, the rights, powers or duties of the Agent or the terms of this Agency Agreement shall be published or disclosed to any third party by the Lender or on the Lenders behalf unless: (i) Citibank, N.A. shall first have given its specific written consent; or (ii) the Lender is legally required to do so pursuant to any Applicable Law to which it is subject.

(B) if consistent with its obligations in (A) above the Agent shall have no duty to inform the Lender of any lending or similar opportunity presented to the Agent or its affiliates or to refrain from taking advantage of any such opportunity but may avail itself of any such opportunity as freely as if there were no relation of principal and agent between the Lender and the Agent.

j. Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Compliance with Laws.
(i) | This Agency Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not laws of conflicts) of the State of New York.

k. Counterparts. This Agency Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
l. Limited Recourse. It is understood and agreed by each of the parties that this Agency Agreement constitutes a separate Agency Agreement between each Lender and Agent, as if each such Lender had executed a separate agreement with Agent naming only itself as Lender. The assets of a particular Lender shall under no circumstances be charged with liabilities attributable to any other Lender and any claim by Agent or a Borrower against a particular Lender shall look only to the assets of that particular Lender for payment of such claim. It is understood that, with respect to any Lender that is a portfolio of assets specifically allocated to a series of shares of a series company, as defined in Rule18f-2(a) promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, all persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against such Lender (including any claims arising hereunder) shall look only to the assets specifically allocated to the Lender for payment under such credit, contract or claim and not to any assets specifically allocated to another series of shares or the series company or to any other assets of the series company.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Global Securities Lending Agency Agreement to be executed as of the date set forth above.

The two following paragraphs are not applicable to Lenders initial election to invest all cash Collateral into money market mutual funds, but may be relevant if investment directions are subsequently changed to permit term investments.
The Lender recognizes and understands that the term of the investments made at its direction in accordance with the above guidelines may not match and may extend beyond the term of the loans of the relevant securities. In the event that Citibank, N.A.s appointment as securities lending agent is terminated, the Lender, at its option, may either (1) permit loans of securities, equal in market value to the original purchase price of the investment, to remain outstanding until the investment matures, or (2) purchase such investment into its own portfolio at the original purchase price plus the interest (or principal if originally purchased at a discount) that would have accrued, or (3) instruct the Agent to liquidate the investment promptly.
In connection with loans of securities and reverse repurchase transactions (if previously approved as investment vehicles for securities lending cash collateral) within the terms of the securities lending program, we authorize the use of the following entities as third party custodians of (a) collateral for securities lent under the securities lending program, and (b) securities purchased under repurchase transactions (if previously approved) and cash collateral remitted for such purchases: The Bank of New York and JP Morgan Chase Bank.

Definitions for Section 4(b):
Replacement Securities is defined in Section 13.1 of the Master Securities Loan Agreement (2000) (the MSLA) as a like amount of Loaned Securities, with like amount referring to the amount of Loaned Securities not re-transferred to Lender upon Termination of the related Loan. Loaned Security is defined in MSLA §25.33 to mean any Security transferred in a Loan under the MSLA, until such Security (or an identical Security) is transferred back to Lender. Such term includes any new or replacement Security which is exchanged for any Loaned Security due to recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other corporate action. For purposes of return of Loaned Securities pursuant to §13 [Defaults], Loaned Securities shall include Securities of the same issuer, class, and quantity as the Loaned Securities, as adjusted pursuant to the preceding sentence. Equivalent is defined in paragraph 2.1 of the Global Master Securities Lending Agreement (2010) (GMSLA) in relation to Loaned Securities to mean Securities or other property, of an identical type, nominal value, description and amount to particular Loaned Securities so provided. If and to the extent that such Loaned Securities consist of Securities that are partly paid or have been converted, subdivided, consolidated, made the subject of a takeover, rights of pre-emption, rights to receive securities or a certificate which may at a future date be exchanged for Securities, the expression shall include such Securities or other assets to which Lender is entitled following the occurrence of the relevant event, and, if appropriate, the giving of the relevant notice in accordance with paragraph 6.7 of the GMSLA and provided that Lender has paid to the Borrower all and any sums due in respect thereof. In the event that such Loaned Securities have been redeemed, are partly paid, are the subject of a capitalisation issue or are subject to an event similar to any of the foregoing events described in this paragraph, the expression shall have the following meanings:
(a) | in the case of redemption, a sum of money equivalent to the proceeds of the redemption; |
(b) | in the case of a call on partly-paid Securities, Securities equivalent to the relevant Loaned Securities, provided that Lender shall have paid Borrower, in respect of Loaned Securities an amount of money equal to the sum due in respect of the call; |
(c) | in the case of a capitalisation issue, Securities equivalent to the relevant Loaned Securities, together with the securities allotted by way of bonus thereon; |
(d) | in the case of any event similar to any of the foregoing events described in this paragraph, Securities equivalent to the Loaned Securities together with or replaced by a sum of money or Securities or other property equivalent to that received in respect of such Loaned Securities be, resulting from such event. |

a. | Lender represents and warrants that, throughout the term of this Agency Agreement, and as long thereafter as a Loan is outstanding: (i) the Lender is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (ii) the Lender is a qualified purchaser for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (iii) the Lender is a qualified client as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; and (iv) the Lender is a qualified institutional buyer, as that term is defined by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. |
b. | To the extent that the lien over Collateral granted by Section 6(a) is subject to the laws of the State of New York, such lien shall constitute a continuing security interest in and a lien on, the Collateral and the proceeds thereof and the Agent shall have, with respect thereto, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code. |
E. | Lender agrees to the additional procedures outlined in Annex 2 to this Schedule VII for Loans conducted in the indicated jurisdictions outside the United States. |
F. | UK Jurisdictional Requirements |
FCA and/or PRA Requirements
a. | The Agent is regulated by both the FCA and the PRA and shall treat the Lender as a professional client (as defined in the rules established by the FCA and the PRA from time to time contained in both the CAs Handbook of rules and guidance (the FCA Rules) and the PRAs Handbook of rules and guidance (the PRA Rules) |
b. | The Agent is an approved bank within the definition of the FCA Rules and PRA Rules |
c. | To the extent the Agent holds Lenders assets and securities in an Administration Account, such assets and securities will be treated as safe custody assets in accordance with the FCA Rules. The Administration Account shall be designated so as to make it clear that the assets and securities belong to Lender and other customers of the Agent and the assets and securities held in the Administration Account will be segregated from the Agents own assets |
d. | The Administration Account is a pooled omnibus account, in which Lenders assets and securities will be held together with assets held by the Agent for other customers for the purpose of facilitating receipt and delivery of Loaned Securities. Agent will promptly credit such deliveries or receipts of Loaned Securities into the Lenders account. Lenders entitlement to the assets in such account and any income, interest, dividends and other payments or distributions, or other rights, entitlements and benefits that arise in respect of the assets shall correspond pro-rata to the assets held by the Agent for the Lender. There is a risk that Lenders Assets could be withdrawn or used to meet obligations of other customers of the Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, such withdrawals or actions by Agent shall be subject to the indemnification provisions of the Agency Agreement. Lender understand that Loaned Securities when on Loan will no longer be held by the Agent as safe custody assets in accordance with the FCA Rules. |
e. | The Borrower will be contractually obligated to redeliver securities equivalent to the Loaned Securities to the Lender, however Lender will be subject to the credit risk of the Borrower. In the event the Borrower does not redeliver the Loaned Securities (and the Collateral is insufficient to cover the Borrowers obligations to the Lender), the Agent will not be liable for any diminution in the value of Loaned Securities resulting from the default of the Borrower except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b) of the Agency Agreement. |
f. | Lender understands that securities lending is conducted off-exchange. Lender confirms that it does not require the Agent to supply it with contract notes or confirmations in respect of securities lending transactions undertaken by virtue of the agency arrangements established under this Agency Agreement. |
g. | The Agent has in place procedures for addressing any complaints Lender might have regarding the services provided by the Agent under this Agency Agreement and shall advise Lender of these procedures should it wish to make a complaint. |

list as of trade date.

ii. | Termination of Loans. Bank shall accept Instructions from Lender or Agent in writing (which may be electronic) of when to expect the return of a Security on Loan in those cases other than where the Borrower terminates the Loan. Where a Borrower terminates a Loan, Lender or Agent shall so advise Bank and confirm to Bank whether or not the return should be accepted and Bank shall act accordingly. Upon its receipt of Securities back from Loan, Bank shall reflect the status of such Securities on its records as having been returned to custody. |

In respect of Securities on Loan, Lender or Agent may need to instruct the Borrower or the Securities Depository holding such Securities that Distributions thereon are to be paid to Bank for the benefit of Lender. (B) Non-Cash Distributions. With respect to Securities on Loan, Bank need not claim any non-cash Distribution thereon from the Borrower thereof or from the Agent, and Bank shall credit the same to the Account only upon its actual receipt thereof (and Bank shall not |

Annex 1 to Exhibit A to
Securities Lending Agency Agreement
accrue the same). Lender acknowledges that if, and only if, Lender holds a Security in custody which is the same as the Security on Loan, Bank shall advise Lender (but not the Agent) of non-cash Distributions on such Security on Loan to the same extent it would under the Custody Agreement. |

Bank shall make available to Lender any corporate action notifications with respect to the total position of Lender in a given Security, regardless of the extent to which the position is on Loan (provided that at least one share of the affected Security is in Banks custody) and Lender may provide the contents of such notice to Agent.

(b) | Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lenders obligation to indemnify the Bank as set out in sections 3.1, 6.1 and 7.1(c) of the Custody Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Bank and/or any J.P.

J.P. Morgan Fee Proposal: Assumptions and Notes
Assumptions
| Fees quoted in this proposal are based upon information provided by Lender and, where necessary, assumptions that Bank believes to be reasonable. |
| Lender and its investment managers (if applicable) and Agent will instruct Bank of trades and other account activity in a mutually agreed electronic format that enables straight-through processing (STP), using Banks proprietary systems, SWIFT messages, direct electronic transmissions or other means deemed acceptable by Bank. |
Notes
| The Bank may propose reasonable amendments to the fee schedule at any time should either (i) the clients actual investment portfolio and/or trading activity differ significantly from the assumptions used to develop the Banks fee proposal, (ii) the clients service requirements change, or (iii) the clients use of any other Bank products that were included in the Banks pricing proposal to the client is discontinued or modified in any respect material to the Banks pricing proposal. |
| Fees for additional service(s) and/or market(s) added at the request of Lender while this fee schedule is in effect will be assessed at J.P. Morgans standard price(s), unless an alternative pricing arrangement is agreed upon in advance by Lender and Bank. |
| Where minimum fees are specified for one or more service categories, if during any billing period total fee(s) for in-scope services in a category are less than the prorated minimum fee for the category, the prorated minimum fee will apply. |
| Bank will present invoices monthly in arrears, with payment due 30 days after the date of the invoice, unless an alternative billing arrangement is negotiated between Agent and Bank. |

Exhibit B
to the Global Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the Agreement),
Between CITIBANK, N.A., As the Agent
and the Lenders
ADDITIONAL CUSTODY TERMS
1. | APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS CUSTODIAN OF THE ASSETS |
(A) | The Agent does not serve as the Lenders securities custodian, but in the course of performing its activities under this Agreement, the Agent will have certain custodial-type obligations relating to the safekeeping of Securities and Collateral, the settlement of Loans and the servicing of assets. These activities may be undertaken in different markets. Accordingly, the Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Agent: |
(i) | subject to this Exhibit, to hold on behalf of Lender the Loaned Securities and/or securities, bonds, notes, other financial assets or cash which form part of the Collateral (collectively, the Assets) from time to time; and |
(ii) | to establish on its books a securities account (the Securities Account) and a collateral account (the Collateral Account) in connection with the foregoing. |
2. | PERFORMANCE BY THE AGENT ACTING AS CUSTODIAN OF THE ASSETS |
(A) | Lender authorizes the Agent to do all such things as may be necessary to effect the purposes of this Agreement without any instructions from Lender, including without limitation signing any documentation required under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, collecting income, payments and distributions in respect of the Assets, and making cash disbursements for any expenses incurred in respect of the Assets or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. |
(B) | In providing the safekeeping services contemplated hereunder, insofar as its activities are subject to the laws of England, the Agent shall comply with the FCA and PRA Rules applicable or other applicable rules to it as custodian and shall treat Lender as a professional client for the purposes of the FCA Rules. |
(C) | Administrative support providers are those persons utilized by the Agent to perform ancillary services of a purely administrative nature such as couriers, messengers or other commercial transport systems. |
(D) | Market infrastructures are public utilities, external telecommunications facilities and other common carriers of electronic and other messages, and external postal services. Market infrastructures are not delegates of the Agent and the Agent has no responsibility for selection or appointment of, or for performance by, any market infrastructure. |
J.P. Morgan |
(E) | Assets deposited with clearance systems hereunder will be subject to the laws, rules, statements of principle and practices of such clearance systems. Assets held in a clearance system may be subject to a lien or other security interests under such laws, rules, statements of principle and practices. Clearance Systems are not delegates of the Agent and the Agent has no responsibility for selection or appointment of, or for performance by, any clearance system. |
(F) | The Agent may deposit or procure the deposit of Assets with any clearance system as required by law, regulation or best market practice. |
(G) | The Agent shall act in good faith and use reasonable care in the selection and continued appointment of Subcustodians. Subject to paragraph 3(B) below, the Agent shall also be responsible for the negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of any branch or subsidiary of the Agent that is a Subcustodian. As to Subcustodians which are not branches or subsidiaries of the Agent, the Agent shall bear responsibility as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph (G) and section 5(b) of the Agreement. |
(H) | The Agent does not provide shareholder voting services for Lender. |
(I) | The Agent shall be under no duty to take or omit to take any action with respect to the safekeeping of, or any other matter relating to the Assets held by it, except in accordance with this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any reporting, accounting or auditing obligations). |
3. | STANDARD OF CARE; SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY |
(A) | In performing its custodial duties, the Agent shall exercise the due care of a professional custodian for hire. |
(B) | The scope of responsibility of the Agent in its capacity as Custodian and any qualifications upon or exclusions relating to such responsibility shall be as set forth in the Agreement. |
(C) | In performing its custodial functions, the Agent is responsible for the performance of only those duties as are expressly set forth herein and shall have no implied duties or obligations. The Agent is not responsible for supervising the Lenders principal custodian. |
(D) | In the event of the insolvency or any other analogous proceedings of a third party holding Lenders Assets, the Agent will typically only have an unsecured claim against the third party on Lenders behalf, and Lender will be exposed to the risk that the securities, cash or any other property received by the Agent from the third party is insufficient to satisfy Lenders claim and the claims of all other relevant clients. Agent requires all subcustodians to segregate securities held for Agents clients from Subcustodians own securities and Agent obtains legal opinions covering, among other things, a custodial clients right to recover securities in the event of the insolvency of the subcustodian or a central securities depository. |
(E) | Lender understands and agrees that the Agents performance under this Exhibit B is subject to the relevant local laws, regulations, decrees, orders and government acts, and the rules, operating procedures and practices of any relevant stock exchange, clearance system or market where or through which Instructions are to be carried out and to which the Agent is subject and as exist in the country in which any Assets are held. |
J.P. Morgan |
(F) | The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in receiving Assets but does not warrant or guarantee the form, authenticity, value or validity of any Security received by the Agent. If the Agent becomes aware of any defect in title or forgery of any Security, the Agent shall promptly notify Lender. |
(G) | The Agent is not responsible for the form, accuracy or content of any notice, circular, report, announcement or other material not prepared by the Agent but provided by Agent pursuant to this Exhibit B. |
4 | CITIGROUP ORGANIZATION INVOLVEMENT |
Lender agrees and understands that any member of the Citigroup Organization can be engaged as principal in connection with foreign exchange transactions and may otherwise be engaged in any transaction effected by Lender or by any person for its account and benefit, or by or on behalf of any counterparty or issuer. Subject to Schedules II and III, the Agent is entitled to effect any transaction by or with itself or any member of the Citigroup Organization and to pay or keep any fee, commissions or compensation as specified in any Instruction or, if no specification is provided, any charges, fees, commissions or similar payments generally in effect from time to time with regard to such or similar transactions.
6. | ADDITIONAL FCA and PRA REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS |
The following requirements apply (I) to Lender assets wherever located, in those cases where Citibank, N.A. (London Branch) is the contracting party under the Agreement; (II) where Citibank, N.A. (London Branch) is not the contracting party under the Agreement, (i) to assets of the Lender held in the United Kingdom or (ii) to custodial services performed by the Agent within the United Kingdom; or (III) to Lender assets which otherwise fall under the jurisdiction of the U.K. FCA or PRA.
(A) | Legal title to Assets that are subject to the law or market practice of the United Kingdom shall be registered or recorded by the Agent in Lenders name or in the name of an eligible nominee as permitted by the FCA Rules. |
(B) | Where Citibank, N.A. (London Branch) has contracted with Lender as its Agent: legal title to Assets that are subject to the law or market practice of a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom may be registered or recorded as the Agent may direct, either (as appropriate): in Lenders name; in the name of any eligible nominee as permitted by the FCA Rules; in the Agents name; in the name of a subcustodian, settlement system or depositary; or in the name of any other third party. Registration or recording shall only be made: in the Agents name; in the name of a subcustodian, settlement system or depositary; or in the name any other third party, due to the nature of the applicable law or market practice of the relevant overseas jurisdiction, and the Agent has taken reasonable steps to determine that it is in Lenders best interests to do so or it is not feasible to do so otherwise. |
J.P. Morgan |
(C) | If securities are registered in the Agents own name, the Assets may not be segregated from the securities of the Agent and, in the event of a failure by the Agent, the Assets may not be as well protected from the claims made on behalf of the Agents general creditors. |
(D) | Where Securities are held in an omnibus account, the Agent shall take appropriate measures to prevent the unauthorized use of the Customers Securities for the account of other persons, in particular by monitoring its ability to deliver Securities on the settlement date and undelivered Securities outstanding on and beyond the settlement date. Nevertheless, there is a risk that as a result of certain events which may include settlement delays or time differences Customers Securities could be withdrawn or used to meet obligations of other persons. Due to the nature of omnibus client custody accounts, events such as settlement delays and timing differences may on occasion result in the omnibus accounts experiencing shortfalls in number of assets held (a shortfall). Should this occur, to provide protection to the overall omnibus pool; whilst the shortfall is being resolved, in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authoritys Client Assets Rules (CASS Rules) and where appropriate, Agent will cover the shortfall by appropriating a sufficient number of Agents own assets to cover the equivalent value of the shortfall and hold them for the relevant clients under the CASS Rules as provided in clause (J) below. If there is a shortfall of Securities in the event of Agents insolvency, all Customers who hold Securities in the omnibus account may share in the shortfall on a pro rata basis. |
(E) | Lender is hereby advised that, where the Agent arranges for any part of the Assets to be held overseas, there may be different settlement, legal and regulatory requirements in overseas jurisdictions from those applying in the UK, together with different practices for the separate identification of the Assets. |
(F) | The Securities Account and the Collateral Account shall be designated so as to make it clear that the Assets belong to Lender and not to other customers of Agent, and shall be segregated from the Agents securities or securities belonging to an affiliated company of the Agent that is not being treated as an arms length customer in accordance with the FCA Rules. |
(G) | Statements delivered by the Agent to Lender shall contain the information and be dispatched with the frequency set out in the FCA Rules and any other information relating to the Assets will be dispatched by the Agent at intervals agreed with Lender. On request from Lender, the Agent will provide a statement of all Assets held under this Agreement for the benefit of Lender. |
(H) | Where applicable, the Agent shall notify Lender of notices, circulars, reports and announcements which the Agent has received, in the course of acting in the capacity of custodian, concerning the Assets held on Lenders behalf that require discretionary action, including the exercise of voting rights, conversion and subscription rights, takeovers, other offer or capital re-organizations. |
J.P. Morgan |
(I) | (i) Except in the circumstances described in (ii) below, money held for Lender in an account with the Agent will be held by the Agent as banker and not as trustee. As a result, the money will be held in accordance with the Client Asset Rules and not the Client Money Rules and, in the event of the Agents insolvency (or analogous event), Lender will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Rules. |
(ii) Where, in the circumstances contemplated in paragraph (J) below, the Agent holds money for Lender in accordance with the Client Money Rules, the Agent holds such money as trustee and not as banker. In such case, in the event of the Agents insolvency (or analogous event), the Client Money Rules will apply and you will be entitled to share in any relevant distribution under the Client Money Rules.
(J) | (i) From 1 June 2015, where the Agent chooses to hold an amount of its money to cover a shortfall (as such term is used in the CASS Rules), the Agent will hold that amount for Lender in accordance with the Client Money Rules (Cover Amount) until the shortfall is resolved (unless otherwise agreed) and in such case the terms set out in paragraphs (ii) to (v) shall apply. Where the relevant shortfall reduces or is otherwise resolved, the Cover Amount (or the portion thereof in excess of the relevant shortfall) shall become immediately due and payable to the Agent. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Agent will treat payment to Lender of such money covering a shortfall as fully discharging its obligation to return the securities which were the subject of that shortfall to Lender. |
(ii) The Agent may transfer client money in respect of the Cover Amount to be held by a third party bank or credit institution (the Third Party Bank). Except as provided for in this Agreement, the Agent accepts no liability for the acts or omissions of the Third Party Bank. In the event of the insolvency or analogous proceedings of the Third Party Bank, the money received by the Agent from the Third Party Bank may be insufficient to satisfy Lenders claim.
(iii) The Agent may arrange for client money to be held outside the United Kingdom. Such money may be held in accounts with the Third Party Bank in a state which is not an EEA state and, in such case, the relevant accounts will be subject to the laws of that state and the client money may be treated in a different manner from that which would apply if the client money were held by a person located in the EEA.
(iv) Where client money is deposited into an account with the Third Party Bank, such Third Party Bank may have a security interest or lien over, or right of set-off in relation to, such money, to the extent we are permitted to grant such rights by the Client Money Rules.
(v) Any interest received by us in respect of the Cover Amount shall be retained by the Agent and shall not be credited to Lenders account.

2. | By choosing Citibank as an approved borrower you agree that, from time to time, Citibank may (1) borrow securities for its own proprietary transactions or (2) borrow securities from you, and on-lend them to other borrowers as riskless principal/conduit lender. As to only these loans, the Agent shall have all the rights and obligations of the Borrower as set forth in the Lending Agreements, provided however that: |
With respect to loans made pursuant to (1) above, Citibank acknowledges and agrees that such loans:
(a) | shall be made pursuant to terms and conditions substantively equivalent to the terms and conditions of loans with other Borrowers under the Lending Agreement; and |
