Morgan that Lender has (a) been invited to participate in such ISO and (b) intends to, or otherwise, exercise any rights in relation to Securities on Loan;
b)due to the nature of an ISO, J.P. Morgan will be unaware of such ISO arising and will therefore rely solely on Lender’s notification provided in (a) above;
c)subject to Clause 4 hereof (Instructions), Lender must provide election Instructions to J.P. Morgan:
