Exhibit A to BAL Agreement – Account Agreement

This account agreement (including all schedules attached hereto, this “Account Agreement”) is entered into between Customer and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., LONDON BRANCH (“BAL”), on behalf of itself and as agent for the BofA Entities.  This Account Agreement is incorporated as an exhibit to the BAL Agreement (the “Agreement”) and sets forth the terms and conditions on which BAL will open and maintain accounts (the “Accounts”) for cash loans and other products or services and otherwise transact business with Customer.  Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 18.

1.              Collateral Maintenance, Repayment of Financing  - The provisions of this Subsection shall apply except to the extent any such provisions contravene the Committed Facility Agreement. Customer will at all times maintain in, and upon written or oral demand furnish to, the Accounts, or otherwise provide to the BofA Entities in a manner satisfactory to the BofA Entities, assets of the types and in the amounts required by the BofA Entities in light of outstanding Contracts (“Deliverable Collateral”).  Immediately upon written or oral demand by BAL, Customer shall pay to BAL in immediately available U.S. funds any principal balance of, accrued unpaid interest on, and any other Obligation owing in respect of, any Account.

2.              Security Interest  -

(a)          Grant of Security Interest.  Customer hereby assigns and pledges to the BofA Entities all Collateral, and Customer hereby grants a continuing first priority security interest therein, a lien thereon and a right of set off against any Collateral, and all such Collateral shall be subject to a general lien and a continuing first security interest and fixed charge, in each case securing the discharge of all Obligations, Contracts with BofA Entities and liabilities of Customer to the BofA Entities hereunder and thereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising and irrespective of whether or not the BofA Entities has made advances in connection with such Collateral, and irrespective of the number of accounts Customer may have with the BofA Entities, and of which BofA Entity holds such Collateral.

(b)         No other Liens.  All Collateral delivered to a BofA Entity shall be free and clear of all prior liens, claims and encumbrances (other than liens solely in favor of the BofA Entities), and Customer will not cause or allow any of the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be or become subject to any liens, security interests, mortgages or encumbrances of any nature other than security interests solely in the BofA Entities’ favor.  Furthermore, Collateral consisting of securities shall be delivered in good deliverable form (or the BofA Entities shall have the power to place such securities in good deliverable form) in accordance with the requirements of the primary market or markets for such securities.

(c)          Perfection.  Customer shall execute such documents and take such other actions as the BofA Entities shall reasonably request in order to perfect the BofA Entities’ rights with respect to any such Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees to record the security interests granted hereunder in any internal or external register of mortgages and charges maintained by or with respect to Customer under Applicable Law.  Customer shall pay the fees for any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement and pay, or cause to be paid, from the Accounts any and all Taxes imposed on the Collateral by any authority.  In addition, Customer appoints the BofA Entities as Customer’s attorney-in-fact to act on Customer’s behalf to sign, seal, execute and deliver all documents, and do all acts, as may be required, or as a BofA Entity shall determine to be advisable, to perfect the security interests created hereunder in, provide for a BofA Entity to have control of, or realize upon any rights of a BofA Entity in, any or all of the Collateral, as expressly permitted under this Agreement, (including without limitation as permitted under Section 8(a) herein) and/or the Committed Facililty Agreement.  The BofA Entities and Customer each acknowledge and agree that each account maintained by a BofA Entity to which any Collateral is credited is a “securities account” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in the State of New York (the “NYUCC”), and all property and assets held in or credited from time to time to such an account (other than any commodity contract (as defined in Section 9-115 of the NYUCC) shall be treated as a “financial asset” for purposes of Article 8 of the NYUCC, provided that any such account may also be a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the NYUCC) or a “commodity account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(14) of the NYUCC). Each BofA Entity represents and warrants that it is a “securities intermediary” within the meaning of Article 8 of the NYUCC and is acting in such capacity with respect to each such account maintained by it.

(d)         Effect of Security Interest.  The BofA Entities’ security interest in the Collateral shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment and performance in full of Customer’s Obligations, (ii) be binding upon Customer, its successors and permitted assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the BofA Entities and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

(e)          Contract Status.  The parties acknowledge that this Agreement and each Contract entered into pursuant to this Agreement are each a “securities contract”, “swap agreement,” “forward contract,” or “commodity contract” within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and that each delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or thereunder or contemplated hereby or thereby or made, required to be made or contemplated in connection herewith or therewith is a “transfer” and a “margin payment” or a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Sections 362(b)(6),(7),(17) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e), (f), (g) and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge that this Agreement is a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code and a “netting contract” within the

meaning of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

3.              Maintenance of Collateral  -

(a)          General.  Each BofA Entity that holds Collateral holds such Collateral for itself and also as agent and bailee for any other applicable BofA Entity.  Except where otherwise required by Applicable Law or where adverse regulatory capital, reserve or other similar costs (“Adverse Costs”) would thereby arise, the security interests of the BofA Entities in any Collateral shall rank in such order of priority as the BofA Entities may agree from time to time; provided, however, that BAL shall have first priority interest in the assets that it holds other than assets held in a cash account.  In the event that a BofA Entity is obliged by Applicable Law to maintain a first priority lien, or where such BofA Entity would suffer Adverse Costs if it did not maintain a first priority lien, such BofA Entity’s interest in the applicable Collateral shall have priority over that of the other BofA Entity to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Applicable Law or avoid such Adverse Costs.  In the event that both BofA Entities are so obliged to maintain a first priority lien, or would suffer Adverse Costs if they did not maintain a first priority lien, the BofA shall determine among themselves the priority of their respective interests in the relevant Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as otherwise agreed among the BofA Entities, the security interest of the BofA Entities in any Collateral consisting of the Customer’s right, title or interest in, to or under any Contract shall be subject to any enforceable right of setoff or netting (including, without limitation, any such right granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof) that a BofA Entity that is party to such Contract may have with respect to the obligations of the Customer to such BofA Entity (whether arising under such Contract or any other Contract).

(b)         Transfers of Collateral between Accounts.  Customer agrees that the BofA Entities, at any time, at either BofA Entity’s discretion and without prior notice to Customer, may use, apply, or transfer any and all Collateral interchangeably between the BofA Entities in any accounts in which Customer has an interest.  With respect to Collateral pledged principally to secure Obligations under any Contract, the BofA Entities shall have the right, but in no event the obligation, to apply all or any portion of such Collateral to Customer’s Obligations to either of the BofA Entities under any other Contract, to transfer all or any portion of such Collateral to secure Customer’s Obligations to either of the BofA Entities under any other Contract or to release any such Collateral.  Under no circumstances shall any Collateral pledged principally to secure Obligations to either of the BofA Entities under any Contract be required to be applied or transferred to secure Obligations to either of the other BofA Entities or to be released if (i) either BofA Entity determines that such transfer would render it undersecured with respect to any Obligations, (ii) an event of default has occurred with respect to Customer under any Contract or Obligation or (iii) any such application, transfer or release would be contrary to Applicable Law. The BofA Entities shall not transfer Collateral from any account in which Customer has an interest to satisfy a deficit in another such account, if doing so would cause the first account to have a collateral or margin deficit and unless the second account has an actual deficit.

(c)          Control by BofA Entities.  Each BofA Entity that (i) is the securities intermediary in respect of any securities account constituting Collateral, or to which any Collateral is credited or in which any Collateral is held or carried, agrees that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the other BofA Entity with respect to any such securities account or Collateral without any further consent by Customer, (ii) is the bank in respect of any deposit account constituting Collateral, or to which any Collateral is credited or in which any Collateral is held or carried, agrees with Customer and the other BofA Entity (which so agrees with it) that it will comply with instructions originated by the other BofA Entity directing disposition of the funds in such deposit account without further consent by Customer and (iii) is the commodity intermediary in respect of any commodity contract or commodity account constituting Collateral, or any commodity account to which any Collateral is credited or in which any Collateral is held or carried, agrees with Customer and the other BofA Entity (which so agrees with it) that it will apply any value on account of any such Collateral as directed by the other BofA Entity without further consent by Customer.  Customer hereby consents to the foregoing agreements of the BofA Entities.  Each of the BofA Entities that is the securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or bank with respect to any such securities, commodity or deposit account or any such commodity contract represents and warrants that it has not, and agrees that it will not, agree to comply with entitlement orders, directions or instructions concerning any such account or any security entitlements, financial assets, commodity contracts or funds credited thereto or held or carried thereon that are originated by any person other than (i) a BofA Entity or (ii) (until a BofA Entity shall have given a “notice of sole control”) Customer.  Each BofA Entity hereby notifies the other BofA Entity of its security interest in, and the assignment by way of security to it of, the Collateral.  Each BofA Entity acknowledges such notice from the other BofA Entity and each BofA Entity and Customer consent to the security interest granted by this Section.

4.              Rehypothecation  -

(a)          General. Customer expressly grants the BofA Entities the right, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, and without further notice to Customer, (i) to pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer or use Collateral, with all attendant rights of ownership (including the right to vote the securities or to provide consent or take any similar action with respect thereto) and without retaining in their possession and control a like amount of similar Collateral and (ii) to use or invest the proceeds of any securities lending transaction at its own risk. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer hereby grants the BofA Entities its consent to hypothecate its securities for the purposes of Rule 5c2-1(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

(b)         Collateral Return. For the purposes of the return of any Collateral to Customer, the BofA Entities’ return obligations shall be satisfied by delivering securities or

other financial assets of the same issuer, class and quantity as the Collateral initially transferred.

(c)          Rehypothecation Excess; Distribution; Delivery Failure. Rehypothecation of Customer’s collateral shall be subject to the following: (i) if as of the close of business on any Business Day the value of all outstanding rehypothecated Collateral exceeds the Outstanding Debit Financing (as defined in the Committed Facility Agreement) (such excess amount, the “Rehypothecation Excess”), the applicable BofA Entity shall, at its option, either (A) reduce the amount of outstanding rehypothecated Collateral so that the total value of rehypothecated Collateral does not exceed the Outstanding Debit Financing or (B) deliver to, and maintain within, the Special Custody Account an amount of cash at least equal to any Rehypothecation Excess (for the avoidance of doubt, if there is no Rehypothecation Excess, the BofA Entities can recall any cash delivered hereunder); (ii) to the extent the BofA Entities receive any distributions (including dividends or coupons) on the rehypothecated Collateral, the BofA Entities shall deliver such distributions to the Special Custody Account; and (iii) if the BofA Entities are unable to return securities of the same issuer, class and quantity as the Collateral initially transferred, the Customer may elect by three Business Days’ notice to reduce its overall debit by the value of the rehypothecated Collateral unable to be returned, in which case the BofA Entities’ obligation to return a like amount of the rehypothecated Collateral shall terminate.

5.              Representations and Warranties of Customer  - Customer (and, if a person or entity is signing this Agreement on behalf of Customer, such person or entity) hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof, which representations and warranties will be deemed repeated on each date on which this Agreement is in effect, that:

Further, Customer maintains adequate controls to be reasonably assured of such compliance. Except as previously disclosed in Customer’s public filings, there are and have been no criminal or governmental enforcement proceedings, investigations, or other litigation pending or, to Customer’s knowledge,  threatened which relate to (a) felonies, (b) fraud, (c) activities related to the conduct of Customer’s business or, to Customer’s knowledge, the business of Customer’s investment advisers or (d) activities related to the security industry to which Customer or any Related Person is a party or to which any of the properties of Customer or any Related Person is subject. Further, the education, employment and other qualifications for the officers for the Customer in the prospectus provided to any investors or otherwise made available by the Customer are correct and complete.

8.              Events of Default; Setoff  -

(a)          Events of Default.  The following shall apply only to the extent the Committed Facility Agreement has been terminated or the commitment therein has expired. (i) In the event of default by Customer on any Obligation under any transaction or contract or a default, event of default, declaration of default, termination event, exercise of default remedies, or other similar condition or event under any transaction or contract (howsoever characterized, which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the occurrence of an Additional Termination Event or Specified Condition under an ISDA Master Agreement between Customer and a BofA Entity, affiliate of a BofA Entity or a third party entity, if applicable) in respect of Customer or any guarantor or credit support provider of Customer, (ii) if Customer shall become bankrupt, insolvent, or subject to any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding or all or substantially all its assets become

subject to a suit, levy, enforcement, or other legal process where a secured party maintains possession of such assets, has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger), seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets, has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets, or takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts, (iii) if any representation or warranty made or deemed made by Customer under the Agreement proves false or misleading when made or deemed made or (iv) if for any reason any BofA Entity deems it necessary in its commercially reasonable discretion for its protection (each of the foregoing, an “Event of Default”), the BofA Entities are hereby authorized, in their discretion, to take Default Action.  If a BofA Entity elects to sell any Collateral, buy in any property, or cancel any orders upon an Event of Default, such sale, purchase or cancellation may be made on the exchange or other market where such business is then usually transacted, or at public auction or at private sale, without advertising the same and without any notice of the time or place of sale to Customer or to the personal representatives of Customer, and without prior tender, demand or call of any kind upon Customer or upon the personal representatives of Customer, all of which are expressly waived. The BofA Entities may purchase or sell the property to or from a BofA Entity or third parties in whole or in any part thereof free from any right of redemption, and Customer shall remain liable for any deficiency.  A prior tender, demand or call of any kind from the BofA Entities, or prior notice from the BofA Entities, of the time and place of such sale or purchase shall not be considered a waiver of the BofA Entities’ right to sell or buy any Collateral at any time as provided herein.

(b)         Close-out.  Upon the Close-out of any Contract, the Close-out Amount for such Contract shall be due.  If, however, Applicable Law would stay or otherwise impair the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement or any Contract upon the occurrence of an insolvency related Close-out or Event of Default, then Close-out shall automatically occur immediately prior to the occurrence of such insolvency related Close-out or Event of Default.

(c)          Setoff.  At any time and from time to time, the BofA Entities are hereby authorized, in their discretion, to set off and otherwise apply any and all of the obligations of a BofA Entity then due to Customer against any and all Obligations of Customer then due to the BofA Entities (whether at maturity, upon acceleration or termination or otherwise).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Close-out of any Contract, each BofA Entity shall have the right to net the Close-out Amounts due from it to Customer and from Customer to it, so that a single settlement payment (the “Net Payment”) shall be payable by one party to the other, which Net Payment shall be immediately due and payable (subject to the other provisions hereof and of any Contract); provided that if any Close-out Amounts may not be netted against all other Close-out Amounts, such excluded Close-out Amounts shall be netted among themselves to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law.  Upon the occurrence of a Close-out, each BofA Entity may also (i) liquidate, apply and set off any or all Collateral against any Net Payment, payment, or Obligation owed to it or the other BofA Entity under any Contract and (ii) set off and net any Net Payment, payment or obligation owed by it or the other BofA Entity under any Contract against (x) any or all collateral or margin (or the Cash value thereof) posted by it or the other BofA Entity to Customer under any Contract and (y) any Net Payment, payment or Obligation owed by Customer to a BofA Entity (whether mature or unmatured, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated).

(d)         Reinstatement of Obligations.  If the exercise of any right to reduce and set-off pursuant to this Agreement shall be avoided or set aside by a court or shall be restrained, stayed or enjoined under Applicable Law, the obligations in respect thereof shall be reinstated or, in the event of restraint, stay or injunction, preserved in at least the amounts as of the date of restraint, stay or injunction between the BofA Entities, on the one hand, and Customer on the other, until such time as such restraint, stay or injunction shall no longer prohibit exercise of such right.

(e)          BofA Entity Consent.  No BofA Entity shall make any payment to Customer in respect of a Close-Out Amount without the consent of the other BofA Entity that has a security interest in such Close-Out Amount.

9.              Indemnity  -

(a)          General.  Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the BofA Entities harmless from and fully reimburse the BofA Entities for any Indemnified Losses.  The indemnities under this Section 9 shall be separate from and in addition to any other indemnity under any Contract.

(b)         Delivery Failures.  In case of the sale of any security, commodity, or other property by the BofA Entities at the direction of Customer and the BofA Entities’ inability to deliver the same to the purchaser by reason of failure of Customer to supply the BofA Entities therewith, Customer authorizes the BofA Entities to borrow or purchase any such security, commodity, or other property necessary to make delivery thereof.  Customer hereby agrees to be responsible for any cost, expense or loss which the BofA Entities may sustain thereby.

10.        Limitation of Liability  -

(a)          General.  No BofA Entity, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder or in connection herewith except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable BofA Entity.  No BofA Entity shall be liable for any error of judgment made by it in good faith.  The BofA Entities may consult with legal counsel and any action taken or suffered in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel shall be full justification and protection to them.

(b)         Third Parties.  The BofA Entities may execute any of their duties and exercise their rights hereunder by or

through agents (which may include affiliates) or employees.  No BofA Entity shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any subcustodian or other agent selected by it with reasonable care.  All transactions effected with a third party for Customer shall be for the account of Customer and the BofA Entities shall have no responsibility to Customer or such third party with respect thereto.  Nothing in this Agreement shall create, or be deemed to create, any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity (including any investor or adviser of Customer), other than the BofA Entities.

(c)          No Liability for Indirect, Consequential, Exemplary or Punitive Damages; Force Majeure. In no event shall the BofA Entities be held liable for (i) indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages or (ii) any loss of any kind caused, directly or indirectly, by any Force Majeure Event.

11.        Taxes  -

(a)          Withholding Tax.  Except as required by Applicable Law, each payment by Customer and all deliveries of Deliverable Collateral or Collateral under this Agreement shall be made, and the value of any Deliverable Collateral or Collateral shall be calculated, without withholding or deducting any Taxes.  If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted, Customer shall pay such additional amounts as necessary to ensure that the actual net amount received by the BofA Entities is equal to the amount that the BofA Entities would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.  Customer will provide the BofA Entities with any forms or documentation reasonably requested by the BofA Entities in order to reduce or eliminate withholding tax on payments made to Customer with respect to this Agreement.  The BofA Entities are hereby authorized to withhold Taxes from any payment in delivery made hereunder and remit such Taxes to the relevant taxing authorities to the extent required by Applicable Law.

Exhibit B to BAL Agreement — FSA Custody Terms

The FSA Custody Terms (the “FSA Custody Terms”) are entered into between Customer and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., LONDON BRANCH (“BAL”).  Customer and BAL, on behalf of itself and as agent for the BofA Entities, have also entered into an Account Agreement.  The following provisions apply where BAL is acting as custodian of Collateral.  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Account Agreement.

1.               Customer acknowledges that cash will be held by BAL in its capacity as banker, and not as trustee and, as a result, cash will not be held in accordance with the Client Money Rules of the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”).

2.               Collateral in the form of registrable securities will be registered as BAL may direct in the name of a nominee company controlled by BAL or Banc of America Securities LLC (“BAS”) or by an approved depositary.

3.               BAL may hold Collateral through an affiliated custodian, and accepts the same level of responsibility to Customer for any default of such entity or nominee controlled by it as BAL itself owes to Customer for the safe custody of the Collateral.

4.               BAL need not notify Customer of any corporate actions, including any events concerning takeovers, other offers or capital reorganisations or voting, conversion and subscription rights relating to Collateral. If instructions are received by BAL within sufficient time, it will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Customer has the benefit of all corporate actions attached to the Collateral, although the benefit of such actions cannot be guaranteed.

5.               All voting rights in respect of the securities will be exercisable only at the direction of Customer.

BAL will not be liable to Customer for any losses suffered as a result of the benefit of corporate actions not being obtained or voting rights not being exercised provided that BAL has used all reasonable endeavours to forward Customer’s instructions to the appropriate recipient.

6.               Where Collateral has been pooled with assets of other customers, Customer shall be treated as the beneficial owner of such proportion of the relevant securities, as the number of its securities bears to the total number of securities held. In this case Customer’s redelivery rights in respect of the securities are not in specie but rather in respect of securities of the same number, class, denomination and issue as those originally deposited with BAL. Entitlements to shares and any other benefits including cash proceeds arising from corporate actions will be distributed amongst the clients for whom BAL holds the pooled securities in the same proportions as the respective holdings of clients of BAL who have given identical instructions in connection with the relevant corporate action in relation to their holdings of the pooled securities.

7.               Customer will receive periodic statements of account providing details of the Collateral (“Statements”) at intervals agreed with Customer and at least annually. The basis on which assets shown on these Statements will be valued will be the market price of such assets on the date(s) shown on the Statement based on information received by BAL from reputable pricing sources.

8.               Customer authorises BAL to act on instructions from BAS in respect of the Collateral.

9.               Customer acknowledges that, where securities are held outside the United Kingdom, the settlement, legal and regulatory requirements in the relevant overseas jurisdictions may be different from those in the United Kingdom and there may be different practices for the separate identification of securities.

10.         Customer agrees that even where Customer is entering into the Arranged Financing Terms and FSA Custody Terms for or acting on behalf of any other person whose identity has been disclosed to BAL, BAL shall be entitled to treat Customer as its only customer for the purposes of the FSA rules.

11.         BAL is regulated in the provision of the services by the FSA and Customer acknowledges that BAL will treat Customer as an “intermediate customer” for the purposes of the FSA rules.

12.         Nothing in the FSA Custody Terms, the Arranged Financing Terms or the Account Agreement shall be construed as excluding any liability of BAL to Customer in a manner that is not permitted.

13.         The provisions of the FSA Custody Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England.  Customer and BAL agree that, in respect of any Account maintained by BAL, the law applicable to all the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the “Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (Hague Securities Convention)” is English law and agree that none of them has or will enter into any agreement to the contrary.

Exhibit C to BAL Agreement — Arranged Financing Terms

The Arranged Financing Terms (the “Arranged Financing Terms”) are entered into between Customer and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., LONDON BRANCH (“BAL”).  The Arranged Financing Terms set forth the terms and conditions on which BAL will open and maintain accounts (the “Accounts”) for and otherwise transact business with Customer.  Customer and BAL, on behalf of itself and as agent for the BofA Entities, have also entered into an Account Agreement.  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Account Agreement.

1.               The Account Agreement  -

(a)          All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Account Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Arranged Financing Terms is a “Contract” as defined in the Account Agreement and all obligations of Customer to BAL arising hereunder or in connection with any Loan (as defined below) are “Obligations” as defined in the Account Agreement.

(b)         Customer specifically agrees that BAL is entitled to the rights and remedies accorded to the BofA Entities under the Account Agreement.  Customer specifically acknowledges that BAL is a pledgee under that Account Agreement.  To the extent that any other BofA Entity performs any obligations under the Arranged Financing Terms, Customer agrees that such BofA Entity is acting solely as agent for BAL.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such BofA Entity is not assuming any principal obligations to it.

2.               Loans of Cash  -

(a)          Subject to the Committed Facility Agreement, Customer and BAL hereby agree that BAL is authorized, but in no event obligated (except to the extent expressly set forth in the Committed Facility Agreement), to extend credit in the form of cash to Customer hereunder in connection with Customer’s purchase of securities.  The term “Loan” means the outstanding amount of each cash loan from BAL to Customer at any time and from time to time outstanding under the Arranged Financing Terms.  Subject to the Committed Facility Agreement, BAL shall have no commitment to make, or Customer to accept, any Loan hereunder. Customer hereby agrees to repay any such Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Arranged Financing Terms and the Committed Facility Agreement.

(b)         Interest on Loans is computed from the date a Loan is advanced and otherwise from the first to the last calendar day of each month and shall compound on a daily basis.  Interest shall accrue on any Loan at an annual rate determined (subject to the Committed Facility Agreement) on the basis of the sum of a published base rate in the U.S., plus an additional percentage and based on a notional year appropriate to the interest rate basis (the “Interest Rate”).  Customer hereby acknowledges that, to the extent the Committed Facility Agreement has been terminated or the commitment therein has expired, the Interest Rate may change without prior notice to Customer.

(c)          Interest shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the month following the month in which the interest accrued.

(d)         If the Committed Facility Agreement has been terminated or the commitment therein has expired, immediately upon BAL’s demand at any time and for any reason whatsoever, Customer shall repay to BAL the aggregate principal amount of any Loans outstanding, together with accrued interest.  Interest shall accrue on any amounts (including unpaid interest) not paid immediately upon demand at the Interest Rate plus 2% per annum commencing the Business Day immediately following the date of demand therefor.

(e)          If BAL is required by any court or otherwise to return to Customer (or any representative thereof) any amount relating to the Loans or any other obligations of Customer hereunder (the “Secured Lending Obligations”), then Customer’s obligations hereunder in respect of the pertinent Secured Lending Obligations, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated.

(f)            If the Committed Facility Agreement has been terminated or the commitment therein has expired, Customer will transfer in respect of the Loans, pursuant to the Arranged Financing Terms, securities, cash and other investment property and assets of such types, in such amounts and at such times as BAL shall from time to time request.

(g)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the BofA Entities may act as agent in accordance with any Loan entered into hereunder.  To the extent the BofA Entities appoint a subagent, such subagent shall have no responsibility or liability to Customer or BAL with respect to the performance of either such party under the Arranged Financing Terms, and the BofA Entities and any subagent that they may appoint shall not be deemed to endorse or guarantee any transaction effected hereunder.

3.               Representations and Warranties of Customer — Qualified Investor — Customer (and, if a person or entity is signing this Agreement on behalf of Customer, such person or entity) hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof, which representations and warranties will be deemed repeated on each date on which this Agreement is in effect, that Customer is a “qualified investor” as defined in Section 3(a)(54) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
