Gains and losses (other than losses arising from Indemnified Repo as described in the Indemnified Repo Addendum attached to this Agreement) on Cash collateral investments shall not be taken into account in calculating earnings for the purposes of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ fee. Earnings shall be subject to adjustment as necessary to correct variances and late items. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may execute foreign exchange transactions in order to convert earnings received in other currencies into Lender’s base currency. |
| 2. | Annex A. Annex A to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by ▇▇▇▇▇ A attached hereto. |
| 3. | Schedule 4. Schedule 4 to the Agreement, setting forth the Limitations on Securities Available for Loan, Lending Accounts and Markets, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by Schedule 4 attached hereto. |
| 4. | Ratification. Except as modified and amended hereby, the Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Amendment No. 11 as of the date first above set forth.

| a) | with regards to any Institutional Share Offering (“ISO”) offered by an Australian issuer to Lender, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be solely responsible for informing ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that Lender has (a) been invited to participate in such ISO and (b) intends to, or otherwise, exercise any rights in relation to Securities on Loan; |
| b) | due to the nature of an ISO, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be unaware of such ISO arising and will therefore rely solely on Lender’s notification provided in (a) above; |
| c) | subject to Clause 4 hereof (Instructions), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ must provide election Instructions to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇: |
| i. | prior to market expiry where the timing of the ISO announcement makes it reasonably practicable to permit election Instructions to be given prior to such market expiry; and |
| ii. | in all other cases, prior to the applicable Cut-Off Time. |
Such election Instructions must specify whether ▇▇▇▇▇▇ wishes to (i) take up the ISO; (ii) lapse the ISO; or (iii) lapse and take up any available cashbook build. Upon receipt, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use reasonable endeavours to forward such election Instructions to Borrower;
| d) | ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be liable to Lender in the event that: |
| iii. | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not provide to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ any election Instructions; or |
| iv. | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to provide ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with timely election Instructions with respect to such an ISO, and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion does not take any action in relation to such election Instructions; or |
| v. | election Instructions were received by Borrower after market expiry of the ISO and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is unable to accept such election Instructions. |
| II. | France |
▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and accepts that when lending Securities issued by French issuers (“French Securities”), any additional tax credits (including, but not limited to, Credit d’Impot) that may be due to the holder of such French Securities had they not been on Loan over record date, will not form part of the manufactured Income (as defined in the applicable MSLA) that is collected from a Borrower on behalf of the Lender.
| III. | Greece, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, Singapore |
To the extent that Lender has approved in this Schedule that the following jurisdictions are eligible markets, Lender represents and warrants that it does not have a “permanent establishment” in:
| a) | Greece |
| b) | Hungary |
| c) | Japan |
| d) | Mexico |

| IV. | Poland |
▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the following restrictions shall apply in respect of equity securities issued by Polish companies (“Polish Securities”):
| a) | the Journal of laws of Poland 2015, No.1272, which became effective in October 2015 (the “Act”) introduced pre-approval requirements from the Polish Government prior to any acquisition of significant shareholdings in certain Protected Companies (as defined by the Act and subject to change from time to time). In order to manage the transaction pre-approval requirements for the Lender, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be limiting the securities lending program to actively lend only those Polish Securities where the Lender’s aggregate holding is less than 5%; |
| b) | as the list of Protected Companies impacted by the Act is subject to on-going change, this arrangement will be applied to all Polish Securities held through ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that have been made eligible for lending in the program by the Lender. As ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Lending Agent, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are unable to determine the Lender’s total aggregate size of holding in such Polish Securities, therefore Lender will be responsible for notifying ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ where Lender is either holding, or proposing to acquire a total holding of 5% or greater of voting capital in Polish Securities. Lenders are required to provide such notification to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ no later than trade date of the acquisition transaction resulting in a 5% or above holding; and |
| c) | a failure to comply with the notification requirement could result in securities lending transactions being undertaken by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ without Lender seeking the requisite pre-approval potentially resulting in penalties being levied against the Lender by the Polish Government for which the Lender is solely responsible. |
| V. | Thailand |
When lending Securities issued by Thai issuers (“Thai Securities”) Lender acknowledges and consents that the amount of all cash Distributions (as defined in Clause 2.7(a) above) payable to Lender with regard to Thai Securities on Loan may be credited to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s cash account in Dollars on the payable date of such cash Distributions. The amount of the cash Distributions will be converted into Dollars using the foreign exchange rate agreed with the Borrower and based on the reference rate provided by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ local subcustodian.
Lenders opting for the “Calc & Pay” service offered by ▇.▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ in its capacity as global custodian for the treatment of capital gains tax in Thailand (such service being, the “Calc & Pay Service”), should be aware that the applicable sub-custodian in Thailand has informed ▇.▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ (in its capacity as global custodian) that it will ignore loan and return transactions generated by the agency lending discretionary program for the purposes of any calculation required for the Calc & Pay Service.
