No Loan may be allocated to a Borrower that has outstanding borrowings unless the Interest Rate is equal to or lower than the interest rate on any outstanding bank loan of 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 an Adviser, as in effect from time to time, to an account maintained on the Borrower’s behalf by its Custodian for the Fund in respect of which such Loan is made.

(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, in the case of a Closed-End Fund, a more recent shareholder
report providing changes to the Closed-End Fund’s investment policies and/or restrictions, and (ii) is in accordance with the requirements of the Application.

Interest accrued on each Loan shall be paid by the Borrower upon the earlier of (a) one Business Day after demand by the Lender, 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) an additional amount equal to 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, a member of the Interfund Lending Committee shall note on 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 Interfund Lending Committee will maintain a separate account on its books for each Lender and Borrower (a “Loan Account”) on which the following information will be recorded, in accordance with the Advisers’ 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 Fund’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 Interfund Lending Committee 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 Interfund Lending Committee 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 the actual number of days in the year.
§3.7 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of each Loan made hereunder with respect to any Fund shall be used only by such Fund for temporary or emergency purposes in accordance with its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information to satisfy redemption requests or to cover Temporary Overdrafts.

§3.10 Recourse to Assets. Loans made to any Fund shall be repaid solely from the assets of such Fund, and a Lender shall have no right of recourse or offset against the assets of any other Fund 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 Funds or Lenders with respect to such Loan or any default by a 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, 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 shall have first entered into a security agreement in form satisfactory to Borrower and Lender (the “Security Agreement”) and pledge stock or other securities thereunder 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 the Security Agreement, 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 Loan, 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.
