“Market Value” shall be:

2. Appointment and Acceptance. The Customer hereby appoints the Bank as its agent for the purpose of lending Securities; and the Bank hereby agrees to accept such appointment and act in such capacity.

3. Delivery of Securities; Receipt of Collateral; Return of Collateral. Until given written notice of termination pursuant to Section 15, the Customer hereby authorizes the Bank, and the Bank agrees, to undertake the following:

(a) To enter into and maintain securities loan agreements with Borrower(s) which set forth terms consistent with this Agreement. The Customer acknowledges that the standard form(s) of Borrower Agreement(s) entered or to be entered with Borrowers will be substantially in the form of the most current Master Securities Loan Agreement produced by the Bond Market Association and the Customer authorizes the Bank to lend Securities to Borrowers pursuant to agreements substantially in the form thereof (each such agreement referred to herein as a “Borrower Agreement”). The Customer may from time to time direct the Bank not to enter into loans with a Borrower, as the Customer specifies by written notice to the Bank, in each case notwithstanding the Customer’s prior approval of such Borrower in accordance with the terms contained herein.

(b) To negotiate fees with Borrowers in connection with securities lending, subject to the following requirements. In the case of a Loan for which the Collateral is Cash Collateral, the Bank shall negotiate a fee (the “Borrower Rebate Fee”) to be paid by the Bank to the Borrower on behalf of the Customer. In the case of a Loan for which the Collateral is non-cash, the Bank shall negotiate a loan fee to be paid by the Borrower.

(c) To deliver to Borrowers, from time to time, such Securities as the Bank may in its discretion select for securities lending in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) To use the securities lending services of other financial institutions, including, without limitation, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. and other financial institutions that are affiliates of the Bank, as agents of the Bank, for the benefit of the Customer, as the Bank in its discretion shall determine to be necessary or desirable to perform securities lending on behalf of the Customer.

(e) In connection with each Loan, to receive from the Borrower, at the time the Securities are loaned, Collateral of a value at least equal to 102% of the then current Market Value of the Loaned Securities. Such Collateral shall be held as security by the Bank on behalf of the Customer for the due and punctual performance by the Borrower of any and all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Borrower Agreement.

(f) To hold and safekeep the Collateral on behalf of the Customer with other securities lending collateral held by the Bank, provided that the Customer’s specific interest in the Customer’s Collateral shall at all times be noted in the records of the Bank, provided further, however, that all Collateral shall be held separate from any other securities held by the Bank on behalf of an other person or entity.

(g) To invest Cash Collateral for the benefit of the Customer exclusively in high quality short-term debt obligations, including commercial paper, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of domestic and foreign banks with total assets of at least $500 million, non-convertible corporate debt securities, securities issued by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, municipal securities, loan participation interests, repurchase agreements secured by the securities in which the Customer may invest and prime money market funds.

(h) Upon termination of any Loan, to liquidate Cash Collateral investments made with the Collateral and to return the Collateral to the Borrower in accordance with the Borrower Agreement so long as the Borrower is not in default and the Bank receives the Loaned Securities from the Borrower.

(i) To receive from the Borrower Substitute Payments and to forward such Substitute Payments to the Customer.

(j) To pay to the Borrower all interest payments, including Substitute Payments, received on Securities which are held as Collateral, provided that there is no material default by the Borrower of the terms and conditions of the Borrower Agreement, in cases where the Borrower has provided non-cash Collateral in the form of securities, in whole or in part.

(k) To originate or terminate any Loan at any time as the Bank may in its discretion determine pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without prior notice to the Customer.

(l) In connection with the Customer’s Loaned Securities, to collect loan fees owed by Borrowers and income earned on Cash Collateral investments, and to dispose of such monies pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 8 of this Agreement.

(m) To disclose to any Borrower, the name of the Customer and such other information required by such Borrower or such Person to enable such Borrower or such Person to comply with applicable federal or state law, as the Bank may in its discretion deem necessary.

4. To group the Customer’s securities together with the securities of other securities lending customers for the purposes of facilitating Loans to Borrowers. The Customer acknowledges that whether particular securities are loaned depends on many variables, including, but not limited to, the demand for a particular security by Borrowers, and the quantity of a particular security that is held in the lendable pool, and that the Bank cannot ensure that the Customer’s Securities will become the subject of any particular Loan or that the Customer’s Securities will be loaned.

5. Mark to Market. The Bank shall on a daily basis (a) Mark to Market Loaned Securities and Collateral. If the Market Value of the Collateral at the close of trading on a Business Day is less than the Margin Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Securities at the close of trading on that day, the Borrower shall deliver, by the close of business on the following Business Day, an additional amount of Collateral the Market Value of which, together with the Market Value of all previously delivered collateral, equals at least the Margin Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Securities as of such preceding day. In the event that the Market Value of the Collateral exceeds the Margin Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Securities, part of the Collateral may be returned to the Borrower as long as the Market Value of the remaining Collateral equals at least the Margin Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Securities.

6. Accountings. The Bank shall include in a monthly report to the Customer daily information concerning all securities loans outstanding, including an accounting of all securities lending transactions.

7. Loan Termination by Customer.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Customer may, in its discretion, elect to terminate a Loan on a termination date established by notice given to the Bank prior to the close of business on a Business Day. The termination date established by a termination notice shall be a date no earlier than the standard settlement date that would apply to a purchase or sale of the Loaned Securities, which date shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Borrower Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, the Bank shall notify the appropriate Borrower for return of the Loaned Securities in accordance with the terms of the Borrower Agreement.

(b) The Bank shall be deemed to have received appropriate notice as required by this Section 7 upon receipt of written or oral directions (i) signed or given by any person whose name and signature is listed on the most recent certificate delivered by the Customer to the Bank which lists those persons authorized to give directions in the name and on behalf of the Customer or (ii) signed or given by any other person(s), duly authorized by the Customer to give directions to the Bank hereunder or whom the Bank reasonably believes to be so authorized. Appropriate notice as required by this Section 7 shall include notice sent to the Bank by letter, memorandum, telegram, cable, telex, telecopy facsimile, video (CRT) terminal or other “on-line” system, or similar means of communication, or given over the telephone or in person.

8. Fees.

(a) The Customer shall pay fees to the Bank in the amount and at such times set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein. The provisions of Exhibit B may be renegotiated at any time upon five days written notice by either party hereto and may be amended by a separate writing between the Bank and the Customer. The Bank shall charge such fees against the net income received as proceeds from securities lending transactions (after payment of any applicable Borrower Rebate Fees) (“Net Income”); provided, however, that if not so charged, the Customer shall pay such fees.

(b) Any Borrower Rebate Fee incurred by a Customer arising from the receipt of cash as Collateral for Loaned Securities shall be charged against the gross income received by the Customer as proceeds from securities lending transactions and the Bank shall pay such Borrower Rebate Fee to the appropriate Borrower on behalf of the Customer; provided, however, that if not so charged, the Customer shall pay such Borrower Rebate Fee.

(c) The Customer is aware that it is possible to loan portfolio securities without incurring the loan fees payable pursuant hereto by administering such a program itself, rather than hiring the Bank.

exemptive relief orders issued by SEC in performing its responsibilities under this Agreement. Neither the Bank nor its agents shall be responsible for any loss or liability arising from their performance of the Bank’s duties under this Agreement, except for direct loss or liability (but not consequential or punitive damages) arising from the Bank’s, or its agent’s, willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Bank’s duties under this Agreement. In no event shall the Bank be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

11. Customer Responsibilities.

(a) The Customer agrees to (i) promptly notify the Bank of any change that the Customer wishes to make to Exhibit A, (ii) promptly notify the Bank if any information contained in the Customer Information Sheet becomes inaccurate or untrue and (iii) indemnify the Bank for any losses resulting from the Customer’s failure to adhere to the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 11.

The foregoing shall be a continuing obligation of the Customer and the Customer’s successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of any Loans hereunder or of this Agreement. The Bank may charge any amounts to which it is entitled hereunder against the account in which the Customer’s Securities are held.

12. Indemnification.

(a) In the event of a Borrower’s material default of the terms and conditions of the Borrower Agreement, the Bank shall:

(i) take all actions the Bank deems appropriate, in its discretion, to liquidate the Collateral,

(ii) at its own expense, but subject to the Customer’s obligations pursuant to Section 11(c) hereto, replace as soon as reasonably practicable such Loaned Securities with identical securities or the equivalent thereof in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization or merger of the issuer of the Loaned Securities, or

(iii) if the Bank is unable to obtain replacement securities, the Bank shall provide the Customer with immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Loaned Securities. The Market Value shall be calculated (1) in the case of a Borrower insolvency, on the date of such insolvency, or (2) in the case of a Borrower’s failure to return Loaned Securities, on the date that the Bank deposits funds to the Customer’s account.

(b) If the Market Value of the Collateral on the date of such replacement or credit is less than that which is required to purchase replacement securities or to provide equivalent funds to the Customer as a result of a decrease in the Market Value of investments of Cash Collateral, the Bank will not be responsible for such decrease. In such event, the Bank shall purchase and deposit replacement securities, or deposit cash to the Customer’s account, in an amount equal to the then current Market Value of Cash Collateral investments. If the Market Value of the Collateral on the date of such replacement or credit is less than that which is required to purchase replacement securities or to credit equivalent funds to Customer’s account as a result of any reason other than a decrease in the Market Value of investments of Cash Collateral, Bank shall pay such additional amounts as are necessary to purchase replacement securities in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Loaned Securities or credit equivalent funds to Customer’s account as of the date of such replacement. The Bank shall not be liable for any appreciation in the Market Value of the Loaned Securities subsequent to such date.

(c) The Customer agrees that the Bank shall be subrogated to the rights of the Customer in the Collateral and against the Borrower to the extent of any amount paid by the Bank to the Customer hereunder.

(d) Except as provided for herein, the Bank shall have no additional liability to the Customer relating to any Borrower’s failure to return Loaned Securities and no duty or obligation to take action to effect payment by a Borrower of any amounts owed by such Borrower pursuant to the Borrower Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall not be required to act inconsistently with (i) any court or government agency order regarding such Collateral or (ii) the Borrower Agreement.

(f) With respect to its use in this Section 12, a Borrower’s “insolvency” is defined to mean any of the following: (i) the Borrower shall commence any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar law, or seek the appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee, custodian or similar official for such party or any substantial part of its property; (ii) any case, proceeding or appointment referred to in the preceding Clause (i) shall be commenced against the Borrower, or any application shall be filed against the Borrower for a protective decree under the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 as amended, any of which (aa) is consented to or not timely contested by the Borrower, (bb) results in the entry of any order for relief, such an appointment, the issuance of such a protective decree or the entry of any order having a similar effect, or (cc) is not dismissed within 15 days; (iii) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) the Borrower shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due.

13. Agreement Modification. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, contains a complete statement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, supersedes all existing agreements between them concerning the subject and cannot be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by all parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exhibit A may be amended in the manner set forth in the definition of “Borrower” contained in Section 1 and the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit B may be renegotiated and amended in the manner set forth in Section 8(a).

14. Notice. Any notice required to be given in writing under this Agreement shall be delivered by hand or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc., 800 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402, Attention: Securities Lending, or such other address provided by the Bank, and to the Customer at the most recent address of such party provided to the Bank.

15. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Bank or the Customer upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. All outstanding Loans, unless a Customer shall specify otherwise, shall remain outstanding until such Loans terminate pursuant to the securities loan agreement with Borrower, even if such date is past the termination date established by either party pursuant to this Section 15 (but subject to Section 7 and to any other agreement between the Customer and the Bank).

16. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Bank or the Customer without the written consent of the other party, except that the Bank may assign this Agreement to an affiliate of the Bank. Subject to the preceding sentence hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without reference to its conflicts or choice of law principles.
