Repurchase agreements: Each Account may enter into repurchase agreements with
banks or broker-dealers. Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities
from an institution, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the Account’s

securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the
Account will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day.
If a request for additional collateral is not met, or if the seller defaults on its
repurchase obligation, the Account maintains the right to sell the underlying securities
at market value and pursue a claim for any remaining loss against the seller.

purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased
or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more
after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time an
Account enters into such transactions, it is required to have segregated assets with a
current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery
purchase commitments. Amounts receivable and/or payable for these transactions
