Section 12. Remedies.

(a)
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Bank will have the rights and remedies under the UCC and the other rights granted to the Bank under this Note and may exercise its rights without regard to any premium or penalty from liquidation of any Collateral and without regard to the Borrower’s basis or holding period for any Collateral.

(b)

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Bank may also, in its sole discretion: (i) convert any part of the Collateral Currency into the Liability Currency, (ii) hold any monies or proceeds representing the Collateral in a cash collateral account in the Liability Currency or other currency that the Bank reasonably selects, (iii) invest such monies or proceeds on behalf of the Borrower and (iv) apply any portion of the Collateral, first, to all costs and expenses of the Bank required to be paid by the Borrower, second, to the payment of interest on the Liabilities and any fees or commissions to which the Bank may be entitled in connection with the Facility Documents, third, to the payment of principal of the Liabilities, whether or not then due, and fourth, to the Borrower.

(d)
The Borrower will take any action requested by the Bank to allow it to sell or dispose of the Collateral to the extent permitted by law.

The Borrower and the Bank agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction and waives any defense on the basis of an inconvenient forum.

A waiver by the Bank of a provision of this Note shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to otherwise demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Note. Whenever the consent of the Bank is required under this Note, the granting of such consent shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the Bank’s sole discretion. The Bank shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Note unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Bank.

No delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy waives that right or remedy. No single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy precludes any other future exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies in this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies which the Bank may have under law or under other agreements or arrangements with the Borrower. The Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and any other notice or formality with respect to this Note except for any notices expressly required by this Note.

Notices sent by hand, overnight courier, certified or registered mail, or regular mail shall be deemed to have been given when delivered.

If the Bank needs to contact the Borrower by telephone, then the Bank will use the phone number the Bank has on file for the Borrower as its primary phone number.

Exhibit B






MARGIN LOAN DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) is furnishing this document to you to provide some basic facts about the Margin Loan contemplated in the Secured Margin Term Note (Fixed Rate). Your securities account will be pledged as collateral for your Margin Loan from the Bank. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in securities-based borrowing. These risks include the following:
You may be required to deposit additional assets or pay down your margin loan. If the securities in your account collateralizing your margin loan decrease in value (whether due to a market downturn, market volatility or otherwise) and are no longer sufficient to support your margin loan, then a “collateral shortfall” has occurred. To cure the collateral shortfall, you will need to deposit additional securities or pay down your margin loan, possibly through a liquidation of assets. The value of assets collateralizing your margin loan is the value assigned by the Bank in its sole discretion, to each of the securities and other assets in your account.
The Bank can force the sale of securities or other assets in your account. If the outstanding amount of your margin loan ever exceeds the aggregate value of the collateral for your margin loan, the Bank can sell the securities or other assets in your account to cover the deficiency in value. You also will continue to be responsible for any remaining balance of your margin loan after such a sale.
The Bank can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you. It is not the case that the Bank must contact you first if there is a collateral shortfall. While the Bank may attempt to notify you of a collateral shortfall, it is not required to do so. Furthermore, even if the Bank has contacted you and provided a specific date by which you can cure the collateral shortfall, the Bank can still take the necessary steps to protect its financial interests, including immediately selling the securities or other assets in your account without further notice to you. This is especially true in times of market volatility.
You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your account are liquidated or sold to cure a collateral shortfall. Because the securities and other assets are collateral for your margin loan, the Bank has the right to decide which securities or other assets to sell in order to cure a collateral shortfall. The sale of your securities or assets could result in adverse tax consequences.
Eligible collateral and collateral values may change. The Bank at any time can change the eligibility of the securities and other assets in your account for purposes of determining collateral value and can, as set forth in the Secured Margin Term Note (Fixed Rate), increase or decrease the value assigned to the securities and other assets, and is not required to provide you advance notice. These changes in the collateral value often take effect immediately and could result in a collateral shortfall. Your failure to cure the collateral shortfall by either providing additional collateral or paying down your margin loans may cause the Bank to liquidate or sell securities or other assets in your account.
Before entering into a margin loan, you should carefully review the Facility Documents and consult the Bank regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your margin loan.
If your margin loan is subject to a floating interest rate option, you should consider that changes in interest rates can lead to a higher or lower cost of borrowing for you. Increases in interest rates can increase the cost of borrowing, which will negatively impact the economics of the margin loan.
Before entering into a margin loan, you should consider alternatives such as using available cash or proceeds from the sale of securities or other assets. In addition, you should consider, among other things, your investment objectives and risk tolerance, the interest costs of borrowing against your account, fees and charges for selling assets, the tax consequences of selling assets or borrowing, and the loss of potential appreciation on any assets sold. It is important to note that the Bank and its affiliates may earn more if you borrow against your securities and other assets rather than liquidate assets to meet your cash needs.
In the event of a conflict between any statement in this Margin Loan Disclosure Statement and the terms of the Facility Documents, the terms of the Facility Documents shall govern.
