Section 3. Loans.

§3.1. Procedural Requirements. All Loans shall be requested and funded in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and such other procedures as may be adopted from time to time by the Trustees of each Fund.

§3.1.1. Borrowing and Lending Instructions. The Portfolios, other than the Money Market Funds, shall provide the Cash Management Team with standing instructions as to their desire to act as a Borrower when and if such Portfolio has borrowing needs (“Borrowing Instructions”) and/or as a Lender when such Portfolio has uninvested cash balances (“Lending Instructions”). The Money Market Funds shall provide daily Borrowing and/or Lending Instructions to the Cash Management Team as to the amount of cash, if any, any such Portfolio of such Fund desires to borrow or lend. The Portfolios may revoke or change Borrowing or Lending Instructions by notifying the Cash Management Team.

§3.1.2. Allocation Procedures. On each occasion that a Portfolio that has provided Borrowing Instructions to the Cash Management Team has borrowing needs, the Cash Management Team will seek to match the amount and term of the Portfolio’s borrowing needs with the cash available from the Portfolios that have provided Lending Instructions in accordance with allocation and administrative procedures established by the Trustees.

No Loan may be allocated to a Lender with respect to a Portfolio unless the Interest Rate is higher than the Repo Rate and, if applicable, the yield on LAP, and lower than the Bank Loan Rate.

§3.1.3. Funding the Loans. If a Loan has been allocated to a Lender and Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1.2, and the Loan is otherwise in compliance with the

requirements set forth in the Order, the Lender shall make such Loan to the Borrower. Each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower shall be wired (or transferred if Borrower and Lender have the same Custodian) at the Borrower’s expense in accordance with the wiring instructions for each Fund maintained by the Advisor, as in effect from time to time, to an account maintained on the Borrower’s behalf by its Custodian for the Portfolio in respect of which such Loan is made.

§3.1.4. Obligations Arising from Loan. Each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower shall;

(a) obligate the Borrower to borrow the principal amount of the Loan at the Interest Rate applicable thereto for the term thereof solely for use by the Borrower;

(b) constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lender that (i) the Loan requested thereby (A) is permitted under the Borrower’s most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, (B) is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable SEC order of exemption applicable to the Borrower, (C) will not, when made, cause the aggregate indebtedness of the Borrower to exceed the Maximum Amount then in effect, and (D) will be used by the Borrower only in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof, and (ii) all of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Section 4 hereof are true and correct as of the date of such Loan as though made on and as of such dates; and

(c) constitute a representation and warranty by the Lender to the Borrower that the Loan thereby (i) is permitted under the Lender’s most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and (ii) is in accordance with the requirements of the Order.

§3.2. Repayment of Loans. The principal amount of each Loan shall be repaid by the Borrower from the assets of the Borrower upon the earlier of (a) one Business Day after demand by the Lender or (b) the expiration of the term of such Loan.

§3.3. Interest. The outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall bear interest until maturity at the Interest Rate. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be paid by the Borrower upon the earlier of (a) demand, or (b) the maturity of such Loan. Amounts overdue hereunder (including, without limitation, overdue principal, and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest, fees, charges and expenses) shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the Interest Rate applicable to such Loan prior to its maturity and (b) such additional amount not to exceed 2%, as may be determined by an independent arbitrator of disputes previously approved by the Trustees of both Borrower and Lender except that in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6.2.2 such additional amount shall equal 2%.

§3.4. Prepayments. Loans may be prepaid without penalty prior to the date on which such Loan is due and payable.

§3.5. Loan Records Accounts. Promptly after a Loan has been made, the Cash Management Team shall note on its records for the Borrower and Lender, confirming (a) the principal amount of such Loan, (b) the Interest Rate applicable thereto and (c) the maturity thereof. The Cash Management Team will maintain a separate account on its books for each Lender and Borrower (a “Loan Account”) on which will be recorded, in accordance with the Advisor’s customary accounting practice, (a) all Loans made by a Lender to a Borrower, (b) all payments of such Loans made to a Lender and (c) all other charges and expenses properly chargeable to the Borrower. The debit balance of each Portfolio’s Loan Account shall reflect the amount of the Borrower’s indebtedness from time to time to the Lenders hereunder. Any written statement maintained by the Cash Management Team regarding the Loan shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute conclusive evidence of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender as of the date of such statement, provided, however, that the failure of the Cash Management Team to make such statement shall not impair the validity or binding nature of the Borrower’s Obligations with respect to such Loan.

§3.6. Computations. All computations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and either (a) a 360-day year or (b) the actual number of days in the year, as determined by the Cash Management Team when it sets the Interest Rate.

§3.7. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of each Loan made hereunder with respect to any Portfolio shall be used only by such Portfolio for temporary or emergency purposes in accordance with its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information to satisfy redemption requests or to cover Temporary Overdrafts.

§3.8. Discretionary Facility. It is acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that each Lender has no obligation to make any Loan hereunder unless it has issued Lending Instructions, and that the decision whether or not to issue Lending Instructions under this Agreement is within the sole and exclusive discretion of each Lender. It is acknowledged and agreed by each Lender that no Borrower is obligated to borrow money hereunder unless it has issued Borrowing Instructions.

§3.9. Termination of Participation in Interfund Credit Facility. Each Lender and each Borrower may terminate its participation in this Agreement at any time by written notice to the Cash Management Team.

§3.10. Recourse to Assets. Loans made to any Portfolio shall be repaid solely from the assets of such Portfolio, and a Lender shall have no right of recourse or offset against the assets of any other Portfolio with respect to such Loans or any default in respect thereto. Each Lender’s liability under this Agreement with respect to a Loan shall be solely limited to the Lender’s assets and each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it may have against any other Portfolios with respect to such Loan or any default by Lender with respect thereto.

§3.11. Collateral Security for Loans. As a condition precedent to making any Loan to any Borrower or continuing any Loan made to any Borrower hereunder, (a) the Lender may require, by written notice to the Borrower or (b) the Lender shall require in the event that the Borrower’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the Loan would exceed 10% of its total assets, or the Borrower has Outstanding Secured Borrowings, that the Borrower pledge stock or other securities as collateral for such Loan (“Pledge Demand”). The minimum market value of the stock and other portfolio securities of the Borrower required to be pledged to the Lender hereunder with respect to any Secured Loan shall be determined by the Lender in its discretion but, in all cases, shall be not less than the 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Each pledge of collateral required pursuant to this Section 3.11 shall be made in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a security agreement in form satisfactory to Borrower and Lender, and shall be effected (a) in the case of any pledge required as a condition precedent to making any Secured Loan hereunder, prior to making such Secured Loans, and (b) in the case of any pledge required as a condition precedent to continuing any Loan hereunder, within 24 hours after delivery to the Borrower of the Pledge Demand therefor or the occurrence of the conditions specified in (b) above.

§3.12. Confirmation. The obligations of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Loan made to it by the Lender and to pay interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Lender’s records as well as by a confirmation of loan in the form of Exhibit I, confirming the principal amount, the Interest Rate and the maturity date of the Loan.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties.

Each Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender and each Lender represents and warrants to each Borrower on the date hereof, and as to any Borrower or Lender on the date of any borrowing, as follows:

Section 5. Covenants.

§5.1. Covenants in Effect Until Termination of Agreement. Until all of the obligations have been performed in full and its participation in the Lending Facility has been terminated as provided herein, each Borrower covenants as follows:

(a) At any time and from time to time, it will, at its own expense, promptly execute and deliver or file all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Lender may request, in order to perfect, protect, validate or preserve any security interest granted, or pledged to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.11 or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies thereunder with respect thereto.

§5.2. Covenants in Effect While Loans are Outstanding. Each Borrower covenants that, so long as any principal of or interest on any Loan made to it is outstanding:

(a) It will not, as long as any Unsecured Loan is outstanding hereunder, create or permit to exist any encumbrance in favor of any person or entity other than the Lender upon any of the assets of the Borrower other than encumbrances created in connection with portfolio investments of the Borrower to the extent permitted by the provisions of its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information applicable to such Portfolio (and not for the primary purpose of borrowing money) such as: (i) margin amounts on futures contracts and options on futures contracts, (ii) segregated assets to cover a call or to secure a put, or to cover short sales against the box or open positions under currency forward contracts, (iii) obligations to resell securities in connection with the purchase of such securities under repurchase agreements, and (iv) obligations to redeliver cash or securities in connection with pledges of such cash or securities in favor of the Borrower under securities lending agreements and master note agreements.

(c) Unless the Fund has a policy that prevents it from borrowing for other than temporary or emergency purposes (and not for leveraging), it will not, as long as any Loan made with respect to the Portfolio is outstanding, allow the total amount of such Portfolio’s Loans, as measured on the day when the most recent Loan was made, to exceed the greater of 125% of such Portfolio’s total net cash redemptions and 102% of Temporary Overdrafts for the preceding seven (7) calendar days.

(d) It will notify Lender if it draws on its Credit Arrangements, borrows from other Lenders under the Agreement, or borrows from other parties.

(e) It will notify the Lender promptly of (i) any material change in its method of business, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, and (ii) the occurrence of any event which would make any of the representations and warranties contained herein, or in any document, instrument or certificate delivered in connection herewith, untrue or inaccurate in any material respect.

Section 6. Default.

§6.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall constitute an immediate Event of Default with respect to the Borrower (it being understood that an Event of Default with respect to one Borrower shall not constitute an Event of Default of any other Borrower):

(a) The Borrower shall fail to pay principal of, or interest on, any Loan as and when due, or the Borrower shall fail to perform any of its other Obligations; or

(b) There shall be a default by the Borrower under any Credit Arrangement, whether such Credit Arrangement now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default extends beyond any period of grace provided with respect thereto and which default relates to (i) the obligations to pay the principal of or interest on any such indebtedness under the Credit Arrangement or (ii) an obligation other than the obligation to pay the principal of or interest on any such indebtedness and the effect of such default is to cause, or to permit the lender under the Credit Arrangement to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity.

(c) Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in Section 4, or in connection with any Loan made to or pledge of pledged collateral made by the Borrower, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or

(d) The Borrower shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any governmental or public authority shall take over possession or control of a substantial part or the Borrower’s business; or any of the Borrower’s property shall become subject to attachment or other involuntary lien or levy; or any action or proceeding shall be commenced by the Borrower seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, of similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property, or any such proceeding is commenced against it which results in the entry of an order

for such relief or such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed for a period of 60 days following such commencement.

§6.2. Remedies.
