ORGANIZATION Templeton Income Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company, consisting of five funds (Funds). Effective September 20, 2013, the Trust began offering shares of the Templeton Constrained Bond Fund. 2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT VALUATION The Funds' investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Funds' administrator, investment manager and other affiliates have formed the Valuation and Liquidity Oversight Committee (VLOC). The VLOC provides administration and oversight of the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. Equity securities and derivative financial instruments (derivatives) listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value. Debt securities generally trade in the OTC market rather than on a securities exchange. The Funds' pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined. Derivatives listed on an exchange are valued at the official closing price of the day. Certain derivatives trade in the OTC market. The Funds pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Funds net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets. The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VLOC convenes on a regular basis to review such financial instruments and considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VLOC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VLOC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity. Trading in securities on foreign securities stock exchanges and OTC markets may be completed before the daily close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Funds portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depositary Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Funds. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. In addition, certain foreign markets may be open on days that the NYSE is closed, which could result in differences between the value of the Funds portfolio securities on the last business day and the last calendar day of the reporting period. Any significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. 3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Funds invested in derivatives in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. Derivatives are financial contracts based on an underlying or notional amount, require no initial investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would normally be required to have a similar response to changes in market factors, and require or permit net settlement. Derivatives contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements. Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The Funds attempt to reduce their exposure to counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives, whenever possible, by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination. Termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Funds include failure of the Funds to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Funds of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the funds custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Funds' investment objectives. The Funds entered into OTC forward exchange contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies. A forward exchange contract is an agreement between the fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency for a specific exchange rate on a future date. Certain funds entered into interest rate swap contracts primarily to manage interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional amount. These agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (OTC interest rate swaps) or may be executed on a registered exchange (centrally cleared interest rate swaps). For centrally cleared interest rate swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable. Over the term of the contract, contractually required payments to be paid and to be received are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized depreciation and appreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. The following funds have invested in derivatives during the period.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ financial instruments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments) The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level. For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Funds have adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement. A summary of inputs used as of November 30, 2013, in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities carried at fair value, is as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Templeton Constrained Bond Fund Assets: Investments in Securities: Foreign Government and Agency Securities a $ - $ 2,960,055 $ - $ 2,960,055 Short Term Investments 1,451,779 5,365,660 - 6,817,439 Total Investments in Securities $ 1,451,779 $ 8,325,715 $ - $ 9,777,494 Forward Exchange Contracts $ - $ 57,282 $ - $ 57,282 Liabilities: Forward Exchange Contracts - 51,360 - 51,360 Templeton Emerging Markets Bond Fund Assets: Investments in Securities: Foreign Government and Agency Securities a $ - $ 7,754,937 $ - $ 7,754,937 Quasi-Sovereign and Corporate Bonds a - 1,159,258 - 1,159,258 Short Term Investments 1,864,907 1,294,360 - 3,159,267 Total Investments in Securities $ 1,864,907 $ 10,208,555 $ - $ 12,073,462 Forward Exchange Contracts $ - $ 71,475 $ - $ 71,475 Liabilities: Swap Contracts - 22,296 - 22,296 Forward Exchange Contracts - 104,370 - 104,370 Templeton Global Bond Fund Assets: Investments in Securities: Foreign Government and Agency Securities a $ - $ 53,231,021,761 $ - $ 53,231,021,761 Quasi-Sovereign and Corporate Bonds a - 614,849,628 - 614,849,628 Municipal Bonds - 21,226,554 - 21,226,554 Short Term Investments 9,605,500,297 5,414,601,636 - 15,020,101,933 Total Investments in Securities $ 9,605,500,297 $ 59,281,699,579 $ - $ 68,887,199,876 Forward Exchange Contracts $ - $ 1,252,050,728 $ - $ 1,252,050,728 Liabilities: Swap Contracts - 186,267,130 - 186,267,130 Forward Exchange Contracts - 912,882,772 - 912,882,772 Templeton Global Total Return Fund Assets: Investments in Securities: Equity Investments: b United Kingdom $ - $ 2,822,762 $ - $ 2,822,762 United States 617,320 921,750 - c 1,539,070 Convertible Bonds - 47,827,680 - 47,827,680 Foreign Government and Agency Securities a - 4,931,896,619 - 4,931,896,619 Quasi-Sovereign and Corporate Bonds a - 1,009,252,854 - 1,009,252,854 Credit-Linked Notes a - 10,745,942 - 10,745,942 Senior Floating Rate Interests a - 2,715,653 21,564 2,737,217 Short Term Investments 868,180,863 666,844,573 - 1,535,025,436 Total Investments in Securities $ 868,798,183 $ 6,673,027,833 $ 21,564 $ 7,541,847,580 Swap Contracts $ - $ 2,002,917 $ - $ 2,002,917 Forward Exchange Contracts - 105,060,530 - 105,060,530 Liabilities: Swap Contracts - 10,093,812 - 10,093,812 Forward Exchange Contracts - 90,427,754 - 90,427,754 Templeton International Bond Fund Assets: Investments in Securities: Foreign Government and Agency Securities a $ - $ 301,182,278 $ - $ 301,182,278 Quasi-Sovereign and Corporate Bonds a - 196,954 - 196,954 Short Term Investments 104,127,869 46,250,226 - 150,378,095 Total Investments in Securities $ 104,127,869 $ 347,629,458 $ - $ 451,757,327 Swap Contracts $ - $ 79,236 $ - $ 79,236 Forward Exchange Contracts - 2,668,395 - 2,668,395 Liabilities: Swap Contracts - 114,548 - 114,548 Forward Exchange Contracts - 4,577,323 - 4,577,323 a For detailed categories, see the accompanying Statement of Investments. b Includes common, preferred and convertible preferred stocks as w ell as other equity investments. c Includes securities determined to have no value at November 30, 2013.

Value Line New York Tax Exempt Trust (Ticker Symbol: VLNYX) S U M M A R YP R O S P E C T U S J U N E1 ,2 0 1 1 Before you invest, you may want to review the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, which contain more information about theTrust and its risks. You can find the Trust’s Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information and other information about the Trust at www.vlfunds.com/home. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 800-243-2729 or by sending an email request to [email protected] current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information dated June 1, 2011, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus. #00080357 T R U S TS U M M A R Y Investment objective The investment objective of the Value Line New York Tax Exempt Trust (the “Trust”) is to provide New York taxpayers with the maximum income exempt from New York State, New York City and federal income taxes while avoiding undue risk to principal. Fees and expenses This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Trust. There are no shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment). Annual Trust Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Management Fees % Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees % Other Expenses % Total Annual Trust Operating Expenses % Less Management Fee and 12b-1 Fee Waiver* –0.47 % Net Expenses % * Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, EULAV Asset Management (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive the portion of the management fee in an amount equal to 0.225% of the Trust’s average daily net assets and EULAV Securities LLC (the “Distributor”) has contractually agreed to waive the Trust’s 12b-1 fee, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the Trust’s average daily net assets. The waivers cannot be terminated without the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. 2 Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Trust to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Trust for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Trust’s operating expenses remain the same except in year one. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years New York Tax Exempt Trust $ 90 $ $ $ Portfolio turnover The Trust pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Trust shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Trust’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year the Trust’s portfolio turnover rate was 43% of the average value of its portfolio. Principal investment strategies of the Trust To achieve the Trust’s investment objective, the Adviser invests the Trust’s assets so that, under normal conditions, at least 80% of the annual interest income of the Trust will be exempt from both regular federal income tax and New York State and City personal income taxes and will not subject non-corporate shareholders to the alternative minimum tax. The Trust invests primarily in investment grade New York municipal securities having a maturity of more than one year. At least 80% of the Trust’s assets are invested in securities the interest income of which is exempt from both regular federal income tax and New York State and City personal income taxes. The Trust buys and sells New York municipal securities with a view towards seeking a high level of current income exempt from federal and New York State and City income taxes. 3 Principal risks of investing in the Trust Investing in any mutual fund, including the Trust, involves risk, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment, and the risk that you may lose part or all of your investment. When you invest in the Trust, you assume a number of risks. Among them, is interest rate risk, the risk that as interest rates rise the value of some fixed income securities such as municipal securities may decrease, market risk, the risk that securities in a certain market will decline in value because of factors such as economic conditions or government actions, credit risk, the risk that any of the Trust’s holdings will have its credit downgraded or will default, income risk, the risk that the Trust’s income may decline because of falling interest rates and other market conditions, liquidity risk, the risk that at times it may be difficult to value a security or sell it at a fair price and risks associated with credit ratings. Because the Trust invests primarily in the securities issued by New York State and its municipalities, its performance may be affected by local, state, and regional factors. These may include tax, legislation or policy changes, political and economic factors, natural disasters, and the possibility of credit problems. Although New York State has enacted plans to reduce its multi-year budget deficits, gaps between actual revenues and expenditures may arise in the current and future fiscal years. New York State, New York City and certain localities outside New York City have experienced financial problems in the past, and particularly over the past 14 months, as a result of the credit market crisis and global recession. These problems have affected and most likely will continue to affect the fiscal health of the State and the U.S. economy for the forseeable future. New federal or state legislation may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of securities held by the Trust or the financial ability of municipalities to repay their obligations. Although distributions of interest income from the Trust’s tax-exempt securities are generally exempt from regular federal income tax, distributions from other sources, including capital gain distributions and any gains on the sale of your shares, are not. You should consult a tax adviser about whether an alternative minimum tax applies to you and about state and local taxes on your Trust distributions. The price of Trust shares will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the Trust’s investments. The market values of municipal securities will vary inversely in relation to their yields. The Trust’s ability to achieve its investment objective is dependent upon the ability of the issuers of New York municipal securities to meet their continuing obligations for the payment of principal and interest. 4 The Trust is non-diversified which means that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer than a diversified fund. Thus, it may be exposed to greater risk. An investment in the Trust is not a complete investment program and you should consider it just one part of your total investment program. An investment in the Trust is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Trust is not appropriate for Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”) or other tax-advantaged retirement plans. For a more complete discussion of risk, please turn to page 9 and refer to the Statement of Additional Information. Trust performance This bar chart and table can help you evaluate the potential risks of investing in the Trust. The bar chart below shows how returns for the Trust’s shares have varied over the past ten calendar years, and the table below shows the average annual total returns (before and after taxes) of these shares for one, five, and ten years compared to the performance of the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, which is a broad based market index. The Trust’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at: www.vlfunds.com. Total Returns (before taxes) as of 12/31 each year Best Quarter: Q3 2009 +7.60% WorstQuarter: Q3 2008 -5.39% The Trust’s year-to-date return for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was 0.10%. 5 After-tax returns in the table below are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Trust shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs.

Ms. Rosenberg has been a portfolio manager with the Adviser since November 2009 and has been the Trust’s portfolio manager since February 2010. Purchase and sale of Trust shares Minimum initial investment in the Trust: $1,000. Minimum additional investment in the Trust: $250. The Trust’s shares are redeemable and you may redeem your shares (sell them back to the Trust) through your broker-dealer, financial advisor or financial intermediary, by telephone or by mail by writing to: Value Line Funds, c/o Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., P.O. Box 219729, Kansas City, MO 64121-9729. See “How to sell shares” on page 16. 6 Tax information The Trust seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and New York State and City personal income tax. A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, New York State or New York City personal income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to the Trust’s sale of municipal bonds. All dividends and distributions may be subject to state and local income taxes other than New York State and New York City personal income taxes. Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries If you purchase the Trust through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Trust and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Trust shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Trust over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information. 7

Title: [MA] Neighborhood activism -- squatting an abandoned property
Question:Hi legaladvice, I have a question regarding a historic property in my city. This is a large storefront, and it used to be home to a thriving business that brought lots of foot traffic to the surrounding area. But changing market conditions caused the business to close up shop 5-10 years ago and the neighborhood has languished ever since.
The property in question was purchused by a wealthy mogul in a distant country. He is engaging in [land banking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_banking), the practice of purchasing property and holding it, undeveloped, solely for the land value.
Because this property has been inactive for years now, commerce nearby has all but vanished and the area has become somewhat dangerous. The city and neighborhood activists are _pissed_. Every single city councillor is unhappy with the vacant property and some have even floated the idea of seizing it by eminent domain.
I would like to move in to this property. The plan is to establish tenancy, and then start using the property to host neighborhood events and reactivate the corner.
The property managers most likely will not discover my presence for months. At that point, they will want me to leave voluntarily, so as to avoid going through Massachusetts’ extremely tenant-friendly eviction process. In return I would like to ask them to be better stewards of the property in certain ways — promptly removing graffiti, making it available for community meetings, etc.
The property does not have a posted No Trespassing sign. Further, when I walked around it yesterday, one of the doors appeared to be unlocked (although I can’t be sure since I didn’t try to open it).
I have no prior criminal record.
I’m a known activist in the city (by a few people, not by everyone), and I believe the city government will not take any action against me unless they are forced to do so.
I will definitely get a lawyer if I move forward with this, but first I want to ask y’all for a sanity check to determine whether this plan is even worth taking up a lawyer's billable hours.
So these are the pressing questions:
* What do I have to do to establish tenancy? Does my occupancy have to be ‘open and notorious’, and what would be the minimum needed to meet that requirement?
* When negotiating a voluntary move-out, are there any demands that would be illegal? What agreements would be enforceable?
* What would be my criminal exposure if I broke and entered? What if I entered without breaking?
* This is zoned as commercial property but I plan to live there. Will that affect my tenancy?
* Anything I missed?
Answer #1: To establish any kind of stable tenancy, you'd have to have the owner's permission, which defeats your purpose. Establishing tenancy sufficient to avoid being removed by the police only requires living there; if it looks plausible that you _could_ have the owner's permission, the police will often treat your unlawful presence as a civil matter rather than pressing breaking and entering or trespassing charges against you. However, there's no guarantee. If the cops decide to pursue charges, there's nothing you can do to prevent it.
Code enforcement may order you out if you're residing in a unit not zoned for residential use. This order is enforceable and relatively immediate - often 72 hours or less. Code enforcement can call upon law enforcement to remove you, if necessary, even if the landlord hasn't even started an eviction proceeding against you.
Massachusetts' breaking and entering law is a bit unique in that it requires that you break in at night, and that you have the intention to commit a felony once inside. Instead, you're more likely to be charged with simple trespassing. Since you are planning on entering the property when you are fully aware you have no permission to do so, the charges would stick; the only practical defence would be to abandon this plan and work through city hall, instead.
The "open and notorious" standard is part of Massachusetts' adverse possession laws, not its tenancy laws. There is no reasonable chance of you gaining title to this property by adversely possessing it, given the facts as you present them.
In short, this is a dumb plan. Your risks include being evicted, being sued (for any damage you do to the property, or the cost of removing your stuff, or the nominal rent for the time you occupy it without the permission of the owner, or the cost of restoring any changes you make to the property in the process of occupying it - note that "removing graffiti" is a change, and they could require that you pay for putting it back), and fines or a brief stint in jail for trespassing. |

(F) This security is valued by Putnam Management at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Securities may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 for ASC 820 based on the securities' valuation inputs. (R) Real Estate Investment Trust. At the close of the reporting period, the fund maintained liquid assets totaling $32,134,505 to cover certain derivative contracts and delayed delivery securities. Unless otherwise noted, the rates quoted in Short-term investments security descriptions represent the weighted average yield to maturity. Debt obligations are considered secured unless otherwise indicated. 144A after the name of an issuer represents securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. The dates shown on debt obligations are the original maturity dates. Security valuation: Portfolio securities and other investments are valued using policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees have formed a Pricing Committee to oversee the implementation of these procedures and have delegated responsibility for valuing the fund's assets in accordance with these procedures to Putnam Management. Putnam Management has established an internal Valuation Committee that is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the pricing policies of the fund and reporting to the Pricing Committee. Market quotations are not considered to be readily available for certain debt obligations and other investments; such investments are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees or dealers selected by Putnam Management. Such services or dealers determine valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships, generally recognized by institutional traders, between securities (which consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings). These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2. Securities quoted in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2 securities. Investments in open-end investment companies (excluding exchange-traded funds), if any, which can be classified as Level 1 or Level 2 securities, are valued based on their net asset value. The net asset value of such investment companies equals the total value of their assets less their liabilities and divided by the number of their outstanding shares. To the extent a pricing service or dealer is unable to value a security or provides a valuation that Putnam Management does not believe accurately reflects the security's fair value, the security will be valued at fair value by Putnam Management in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Trustees. Certain investments, including certain restricted and illiquid securities and derivatives, are also valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. These valuations consider such factors as significant market or specific security events such as interest rate or credit quality changes, various relationships with other securities, discount rates, U.S. Treasury, U.S. swap and credit yields, index levels, convexity exposures, recovery rates, sales and other multiples and resale restrictions. These securities are classified as Level 2 or as Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. To assess the continuing appropriateness of fair valuations, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of such valuations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. Certain securities may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a single source. The fair value of securities is generally determined as the amount that the fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security in a current sale and does not reflect an actual market price, which may be different by a material amount. Stripped securities: The fund may invest in stripped securities which represent a participation in securities that may be structured in classes with rights to receive different portions of the interest and principal. Interest-only securities receive all of the interest and principal-only securities receive all of the principal. If the interest-only securities experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the fund may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in these securities. Conversely, principal-only securities increase in value if prepayments are greater than anticipated and decline if prepayments are slower than anticipated. The fair value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Options contracts: The fund used options contracts to hedge duration and convexity, to isolate prepayment risk, and to manage downside risks. The potential risk to the fund is that the change in value of options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price or, if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. OTC traded options are valued using prices supplied by dealers. Options on swaps are similar to options on securities except that the premium paid or received is to buy or grant the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default contract. Forward premium swap options contracts include premiums that have extended settlement dates. The delayed settlement of the premiums is factored into the daily valuation of the option contracts. In the case of interest rate cap and floor contracts, in return for a premium, ongoing payments between two parties are based on interest rates exceeding a specified rate, in the case of a cap contract, or falling below a specified rate in the case of a floor contract. For the fund's average contract amount on options contracts, see the appropriate table at the end of these footnotes. Futures contracts: The fund used futures contracts for hedging treasury term structure risk and for yield curve positioning. The potential risk to the fund is that the change in value of futures contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The fund and the broker agree to exchange an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin". For the fund's average number of futures contracts, see the appropriate table at the end of these footnotes. Interest rate swap contracts: The fund entered into OTC and/or centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts, which are arrangements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount, for hedging term structure risk and for yield curve positioning. An OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. For OTC interest rate swap contracts, an upfront payment received by the fund is recorded as a liability on the fund's books. An upfront payment made by the fund is recorded as an asset on the fund's books. OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers. Any change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on OTC interest rate swaps. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are settled through a central clearing agent and are recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments, including upfront premiums, received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses at the reset date or the closing of the contract. Certain OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts may include extended effective dates. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults, in the case of OTC interest rate contracts, or the central clearing agency or a clearing member defaults, in the case of centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts, on its respective obligation to perform under the contract. The fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk or central clearing risk is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated for OTC interest rate swap contracts by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty and for centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts through the daily exchange of variation margin. There is minimal counterparty risk with respect to centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts due to the clearinghouse guarantee fund and other resources that are available in the event of a clearing member default. For the fund's average notional amount on interest rate swap contracts, see the appropriate table at the end of these footnotes. Credit default contracts: The fund entered into OTC and/or centrally cleared credit default contracts to hedge credit risk, for gaining liquid exposure to individual names, to hedge market risk, and for gaining exposure to specific sectors. In OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts, the protection buyer typically makes a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. For OTC credit default contracts, an upfront payment received by the fund is recorded as a liability on the fund's books. An upfront payment made by the fund is recorded as an asset on the fund's books. Centrally cleared credit default contracts provide the same rights to the protection buyer and seller except the payments between parties, including upfront premiums, are settled through a central clearing agent through variation margin payments. Upfront and periodic payments received or paid by the fund for OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses at the reset date or close of the contract. The OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers. Any change in value of OTC credit default contracts is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared credit default contracts are recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and fair value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the upfront payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss. In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, the fund could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index or the possibility that the fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased the underlying reference obligations. In certain circumstances, the fund may enter into offsetting OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts which would mitigate its risk of loss. The fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated for OTC credit default contracts by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty and for centrally cleared credit default contracts through the daily exchange of variation margin. Counterparty risk is further mitigated with respect to centrally cleared credit default swap contracts due to the clearinghouse guarantee fund and other resources that are available in the event of a clearing member default. Where the fund is a seller of protection, the maximum potential amount of future payments the fund may be required to make is equal to the notional amount. For the fund's average notional amount on credit default contracts, see the appropriate table at the end of these footnotes. TBA commitments: The fund may enter into TBA (to be announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price and par amount have been established, the actual securities have not been specified. However, it is anticipated that the amount of the commitments will not significantly differ from the principal amount. The fund holds, and maintains until settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the fund may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until settlement date. The fund may also enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements or to take a short position in mortgage-backed securities. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, either equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as "cover" for the transaction, or other liquid assets in an amount equal to the notional value of the TBA sale commitment are segregated. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into. TBA commitments, which are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions, may be considered securities themselves, and involve a risk of loss due to changes in the value of the security prior to the settlement date as well as the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not perform its obligations. Counterparty risk is mitigated by having a master agreement between the fund and the counterparty. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at their fair value according to the procedures described under "Security valuation" above. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in fair value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Based on market circumstances, Putnam Management will determine whether to take delivery of the underlying securities or to dispose of the TBA commitments prior to settlement. Master agreements: The fund is a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts and Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements that govern transactions involving mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities that may result in delayed delivery (Master Agreements) with certain counterparties entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the fund is held in a segregated account by the fund's custodian and, with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the fund's portfolio. Collateral pledged by the fund is segregated by the fund's custodian and identified in the fund's portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the fund's net position with each counterparty. With respect to ISDA Master Agreements, termination events applicable to the fund may occur upon a decline in the fund's net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty's long-term or short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the fund's counterparties to elect early termination could impact the fund's future derivative activity. At the close of the reporting period, the fund had a net liability position of $2,790,077 on open derivative contracts subject to the Master Agreements. Collateral posted by the fund at period end for these agreements totaled $2,335,058 and may include amounts related to unsettled agreements. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the fund's investments. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets. Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the fund's net assets as of the close of the reporting period: Valuation inputs Investments in securities: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset-backed securities $— $— $15,410,000 Corporate bonds and notes — 77,630,942 — Foreign government and agency bonds and notes — 4,634,311 — Mortgage-backed securities — 68,825,903 2,306,556 Purchased options outstanding — 38,298 — Purchased swap options outstanding — 280,601 — U.S. government and agency mortgage obligations — 11,508,802 — U.S. treasury obligations — 59,783 — Short-term investments 33,037,888 40,980,762 — Totals by level Valuation inputs Other financial instruments: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Futures contracts $(95,951) $— $— Written options outstanding — (31,562) — Written swap options outstanding — (2,218,222) — Forward premium swap option contracts — (29,141) — TBA sale commitments — (5,102,735) — Interest rate swap contracts — (1,684,470) — Credit default contracts — (830,051) — Totals by level $— During the reporting period, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, if any, did not represent, in the aggregate, more than 1% of the fund's net assets measured as of the end of the period.

Exhibit 10.1
EMPLOYEE SEVERANCE POLICY
I. PURPOSE
This Employee Severance Policy (the “Policy”) is established to be effective as
of July 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) to provide benefits to certain employees
of Pro-Dex, Inc. (the “Company”), upon termination of employment from the
Company. The Policy has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company
and shall remain in force and effect until amended or rescinded by action of the
Board of Directors.
II. EXCLUSIVITY OF POLICY
The Policy sets forth the Company’s sole policy regarding severance pay for
Eligible Employees. Except to the extent a contrary or inconsistent contractual
provision exists in (i) any provision in an unexpired written employment
agreement between the Company and an Eligible Employee, which agreement also was
in effect as of the Effective Date (an “Existing Agreement”), in which case the
provisions of the Existing Agreement will control, or (ii) a written Change of
Control Agreement between the Company and certain executive employees, in which
case the Change of Control Agreement will govern any terminations covered by it,
all other statements, policies and agreements relating to severance pay for an
Eligible Employee, whether oral or in writing, and, including without
limitation, any statement in any employee handbooks or other policy statements
of the Company, shall have no force or effect. Nothing set forth herein shall
have any effect on any employee’s at-will employment status.
III. ELIGIBILITY
(1) To be eligible for the benefits set forth herein, an employee must be an
active full-time employee who, at the time of employment separation, satisfies
all of the following requirements, and is not otherwise excluded by any other
provision of this Section III:
(a) Employee is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement (unless it
expressly provides for coverage under the Policy);
(b) Employee does not receive payment under the Company’s Change of Control
Policy, if any, in effect at such time; and
(c) Employee is (i) permanently laid off, (ii) voluntarily terminates employment
on account of a qualifying (A) change in work location or (B) if the Employee is
a party and subject to the Company’s Change of Control Policy, any of the
matters set forth in Sections 1.4(b)(i),(ii) and (iii) therein, or (iii) is
involuntarily terminated under the Company’s at-will employment policy,
including terminations for inadequate or unsatisfactory performance other than
Disqualifying Conduct as defined herein.
(1) An employee will be considered “laid off” if his or her services as an
employee of the Company are terminated because of a reduction in the work force
for economic reasons such as lack of work, elimination of the employee’s job
classification or changes in the Company’s organization. A lay off will be
deemed “permanent” only if, at the time of termination of employment, the
Company does not expect to rehire the employee, as determined by the Company in
its sole discretion.
(2) A qualifying change in work location is an employer-required permanent
change in the employee’s primary work location, but only if the change both
(i) increases the employee’s commuting distance, and (ii) requires a one-way
commute of more than 30 miles, determined based on the employee’s place of
residence when the change in work location was announced. An employee will not
be deemed to have terminated employment on account of a qualifying change in
work location if the employee voluntarily resigns before the effective date of
the change in location.
(3) A termination for Disqualifying Conduct is one in which the Company
separates the employment relationship due to an employee’s serious misconduct,
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Such serious misconduct
includes the following types of behavior and other comparable misconduct:
illegal conduct or a credible allegation thereof that (i) relates to job duties
or job performance or (ii) reasonably could result in material injury or damage
to the Company (including its reputation); gross misconduct such as dishonesty,
fighting, misappropriation or misuse of Company assets; repeated violation of
Company work rules or rules of conduct; and willful or grossly negligent
violation of Company work rules or rules of conduct in situations that
reasonably could result in material injury or damage to the Company. A
termination for inadequate or unsatisfactory performance (not accompanied by
serious misconduct as described above) does not constitute a termination for
Disqualifying Conduct.
(2) An employee will not be eligible for benefits under the Policy if, within 30
days following termination of employment with the Company, the employee
commences employment with any successor, acquirer or affiliate of the Company in
a position which is comparable to or better than the position the employee held
with the Company prior to termination of employment. Similarly, an employee
whose employment is deemed terminated by the Company as the result of an
acquisition of the Company but who has been offered substantially comparable
employment with a successor, acquirer or affiliate of the Company will not be
eligible for benefits under this Policy. Whether an employer is a successor,
acquirer or affiliate of the Company and whether a position is comparable to or
better than another position shall be determined by the Company in its sole
discretion.
(3) Benefits under the Policy are payable only under the conditions set forth in
this Section III. Any termination for Disqualifying Conduct is expressly
excluded from benefits hereunder. Benefits are not payable under the Policy if
an employee separates from the Company voluntarily for any reason, including
retirement, but not including voluntarily
-2-
resignation of employment on account of a qualifying (A) change in work location
or (B) if the Employee is a party and subject to the Company’s Change of Control
Policy, any of the matters set forth in Sections 1.4(b)(i),(ii) and
(iii) therein. Benefits also are not payable under the Policy on account of a
separation of employment that occurs (i) due to death, (ii) due to an employee’s
failure to return to work at the expiration of an approved or legally-mandated
leave of absence, or (iii) after an employee has begun receiving disability
benefits under the Company’s long term disability insurance coverage or
disability benefits pursuant to a workers’ compensation claim.
(4) An employee who meets all of the requirements of this Section III and does
not come within one of the exclusions from benefits is referred to throughout
this Policy as an “Eligible Employee.”
IV. BENEFITS
Each Eligible Employee shall receive severance benefits under the Policy
determined on the basis of: (i) the number of complete years of active
employment of the Eligible Employee by the Company or an affiliate of the
Company, measured from the Eligible Employee’s most recent hire date after
subtracting any breaks in service, other than statutorily-mandated temporary
leaves of absence, and (ii) the position held by the Eligible Employee on his or
her last day of active work; subject, however, to (iii) the Eligible Employee’s
execution (and, if applicable, non-revocation) of a release of claims against
the Company in form and content satisfactory to the Company and its legal
counsel. In the event Employee and the Company have entered into an
Indemnification Agreement with each other, Employee shall not be required to
release any rights afforded to Employee under such Indemnification Agreement, or
any provisions concerning indemnification under the Company’s Bylaws or Articles
of Incorporation, and the Company shall continue to indemnify Employee under any
such Agreement and/or provisions which may be applicable to Employee.
(1) Schedule A, attached hereto, sets forth the total number of weeks of
separation plus severance pay to be received by the Eligible Employee based on
the criteria specified in sub-section (1) above. Each Eligible Employee shall
receive a two weeks’ of Base Pay as a separation payment in accordance with
sub-section (1), subject to required withholding, to be paid unconditionally to
the Eligible Employee on his or her last day of employment, provided such
Eligible Employee meets all of the requirements of sub-section (1) (“Separation
Pay”). After deducting this two weeks from the amount shown in Schedule A for
the applicable Eligible Employee, the remaining number of weeks (“Severance
Weeks”) shall be multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s base salary or regular
rate of pay on his or her last day of active work to determine the amount of
severance pay the Eligible Employee is entitled to. Such base salary or rate of
pay (“Base Pay) shall not include overtime, bonuses, commissions, premium pay,
employee benefits and expense reimbursement or other similar pay. It shall
include base pay not received because of elections under Internal Revenue Code
Sections 125 and 401(k). In addition, in the event, the Employee is subject to
the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan and/or Long Term Incentive Plan (not the
Company’s general bonus plan), the Employee shall be entitled to receive bonus
or compensation award payment, if any, in accordance with the terms of such
Annual Incentive Plan and Long Term Incentive Plan, as the case may be.
Severance pay meeting all of the requirements of this Section IV is referred to
throughout this Policy as the
-3-
“Severance” owed to the Eligible Employee, provided such Eligible Employee meets
all of the requirements of both sub-sections (1) and (2).
V. METHOD OF PAYMENT AND REPAYMENT
(1) The Severance will be paid in a lump sum (subject to required withholding)
within five business days after the effective date (including the expiration of
any applicable revocation periods) of the release of claims by an Eligible
Employee.
(2) An employee who has received the Severance and is recalled to work may, as a
condition of reinstatement, be required to repay a portion of the Severance
received by the Eligible Employee. If the number of weeks paid for Severance
exceeds the number of weeks the Eligible Employee was actually laid off, the
Eligible Employee must repay the excess Severance within 30 days of
re-employment in order to be eligible for severance benefits in the event of a
future layoff or other qualifying termination of employment.
VI. RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS
In order to receive the Severance, an Eligible Employee in Category 1-5 set
forth on Schedule A attached hereto must sign a release (“Release”) of all
claims the Eligible Employee had, has or may have against the Company, in form
and content satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel and within the
time period required by the Company for such signature. If a revocation period
is applicable to the Release, the revocation period must expire without
revocation having occurred before the Severance shall become payable. Eligible
Employees who choose not to sign the Release (or, if applicable, sign the
Release but revoke it) shall receive only the two weeks of unconditional
Separation Pay. In the event Employee and the Company are have entered into an
release any rights afforded to Employee under such Indemnification Agreement or
of Incorporation and the Company shall continue to indemnify Employee under such
Indemnification Agreement and provisions.

benefits that the Employer is obligated to pay or provide in any given calendar

CERTIFIED RESOLUTIONS I, Carole Anne Clementi, Secretary of General American Investors Company, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby certify that the following resolutions were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company, at a meeting of the Board held on July 18, 2012. DETERMINATION OF FIDELITY BOND: Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that the Board of Directors of the Company approve at least once each year the form and amount of the indemnity bond against larceny and embezzlement covering each officer and employee of the Company who, singly or jointly with others, has access to securities or funds of the Company. State Street Bank and Trust Company, custodian for the Company, has a broad form of banker's blanket bond insurance, designed to cover the loss of securities entrusted to its care, as well as its own securities. The insurance covers securities in the bank's actual possession, including those securities deposited with a securities depository or in the Federal book-entry system, and in transit. A bond in the amount of $2,250,000 is in excess of the minimum ($1,000,000) required by Rule 17g-1(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that, in his opinion, it is a reasonable amount for General American Investors Company to maintain. Investment Company Asset Protection Bond number 80911610 had been issued to the Company, by Vigilant Insurance Company (a member of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies), dated June 15, 2012, in the amount of $2,250,000. The annual premium ($8,000) for the policy had been paid by and borne solely by the Company. A separate Fiduciary Fidelity Bond For Employee Benefit Plans (number 82126606) was issued to the Company's Employees' Retirement Plan and the Company's Employees' Thrift Plan by Vigilant Insurance Company (a member of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies), dated June 15, 2012, in the amount of $1,000,000. The annual premium ($1,000) for the policy had also been paid by and borne solely by the Company. The aggregate cost of the two bonds of $9,000 was the same as that of recent years. After consideration of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of the assets of the Company, the nature of the securities in the portfolio and the value of the aggregate assets of the Company to which any covered person may have access, upon motion duly made and seconded it was unanimously (including a majority of Directors of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Company) RESOLVED, that the form and amount of the insured indemnity bond number 80911610, issued by Vigilant Insurance Company, dated June 15, 2012, in the amount of $2,250,000, applicable to the Company be and hereby is approved; and further RESOLVED, that the form and amount of the insured indemnity bond number 82126606 issued by Vigilant Insurance Company, dated June 15, 2012, in the amount of $1,000,000, applicable to the Company's Employee Retirement and Thrift Plans, be and hereby is approved; and further RESOLVED, that the premium for the joint insured bond be borne and paid entirely by the Company. /s/ Carole Anne Clementi Carole Anne Clementi, Secretary

(d) Interest Calculation. Interest shall be computed based on the daily rate
produced assuming a three hundred sixty (360) day year, multiplied by the actual
number of days elapsed during each Interest Accrual Period. Borrower understands
and acknowledges that such interest accrual method results in more interest
accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred
sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty five
(365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan. Lender
shall determine the Interest Rate applicable to the Loan in accordance with this
manifest error. The books and records of Lender shall be prima facie evidence of
all sums owing to Lender from time to time under this Agreement, but the failure
to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of
(e) Selected Day and Securitization Closing Date; Securitization Interest
Adjustments; Payment Date. (1) Lender may in its sole discretion designate the
Securitization Closing Date by providing not less than twenty-four (24) hours
prior notice to Borrower. Lender may in its sole discretion designate a day of
the calendar month (w) as the Selected Day for purposes of establishing, in
accordance with the definition of “Interest Accrual Period”, the beginning and
ending dates of the Interest Accrual Period that commences in the month in which
the Securitization Closing Date occurs (and, to the extent contemplated in the
definition of Interest Accrual Period, the prior month) and each Interest
Accrual Period thereafter and/or (y) as the Payment Date commencing in the month
in which the Securitization Closing Date occurs and continuing thereafter. In
lieu of such designation, Lender may elect that the Interest Accrual Period with
respect to the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date and each
Payment Date thereafter shall be the calendar month preceding such Payment Date.
The designation of the Selected Day, Payment Date or election of calendar-month
Interest Accrual Periods shall be a one-time event; once made, such designation
or election shall apply for (1) purposes of establishing, in accordance with the
definition of “Interest Accrual Period”, the beginning and ending dates of the
Interest Accrual Period that commences in the month in which the Securitization
Closing Date occurs (and, to the extent contemplated in the definition of
Interest Accrual Period, the prior month) and each Interest Accrual Period
thereafter and/or (2) purposes of establishing the Payment Date each month
(i) With respect to any portion of any Interest Accrual Period that also
comprises all or any portion of a Securitization Initialization Period, if the
amount of interest payable by Borrower hereunder (based on the Interest Rate
using LIBOR as of the applicable Determination Date) is less than the amount of
interest which would be payable if the Interest Rate were determined using the
Securitization Initialization Period LIBOR in lieu of LIBOR (such deficiency
being the “Securitization Interest Adjustment Amount” for such Interest Accrual
Period), then Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Payment Date related to any
such Interest Accrual Period (or, if such Payment Date occurred prior to the
Securitization Closing Date, then on the next succeeding Payment Date) the
Securitization Interest Adjustment Amount.

(ii) Similarly, if Lender exercises its option pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 2.4(e) to elect calendar Interest Accrual Periods for Payment Dates
after the Securitization Closing Date, in respect of any portion of the first
such calendar Interest Accrual Period that overlaps with an Interest Accrual
Period with respect to which a payment was already made on a prior Payment Date,
in respect of the number of days of overlap, Borrower shall be credited with the
interest already paid and, on the first Payment Date after the Securitization
Closing Date, shall be obligated to pay in respect of such overlapping days only
an amount equal to the greater of (A)(1) the amount of interest accrued for such
overlapping days using LIBOR as determined two Business Days prior to the first
day of the month prior to the Securitization Month minus (2) the amount of
interest accrued for such overlapping days using the LIBOR determined as of the

clause (i) of this Section 2.4(e) to a day that is earlier in the month than the
Selected Day as previously defined, then, with respect to the first Payment Date
after the Securitization Closing Date and the portion (if any) of the applicable
Interest Accrual Period that does not overlap with the Securitization
Initialization Period, if Borrower has already paid the amount of interest it
owed in respect of such non-overlapping portion as calculated prior to such
change in the Selected Day on the most recent Payment Date prior to such change
in the Selected Day, then Borrower shall not owe any further amount of interest
in respect of such non-overlapping portion.

all monthly payments made as scheduled pursuant to this Agreement and the Note
shall be applied first, to the payment of interest (calculated at the Interest
Rate) due and payable on the Loan and then, the balance toward the reduction of

when no Event of Default exists shall be applied, to the extent thereof, by
Lender to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the outstanding
principal amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with
the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute
discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments

in Section 2.5(e) hereof) (or such greater period, if any, required by
applicable Legal Requirements), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an
maximum amount permitted by applicable Legal Requirements in order to defray the

levels of reserves, deposits, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or
capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or
similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any
Tribunal or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would
have the effect of (A) increasing Lender’s costs relating to the Loan, or (B)
reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on the Loan, to a level below
that which Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of
any such Legal Requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any
request by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as (in Lender’s sole

(ii) the weighted average interest rate of such mezzanine loans shall on the
date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan
immediately prior to the restructuring except following an Event of Default or
following any prepayment (whether resulting from the application of Net Proceeds

Agreement and each Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement), (iii) the debt service

(A) execute and deliver (1) such documents including, without limitation, in the
case of the new mezzanine loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a

cooperate with Lender in connection with any corresponding uncrossing or
severing of a pro rata portion of the Loan and/or such other modifications to
the Loan as Lender may reasonably require in connection with any Property
Uncross. In no event shall Borrower be obligated in connection with a Property
Uncross to satisfy any requirement of the Rating Agencies or enter into any
amendment or modification of the Loan Documents which would, in the aggregate,
increase any monetary or other material obligation of Borrower under the Loan
Documents. Lender shall cause all reasonable costs and expenses (other than

Section 20.14. State Law Provisions. To the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction would deem the laws of the State of California to be applicable to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower makes the following
waivers:
(A) Each Borrower hereby waives the rights and benefits under California
Civil Code (“CC”) Section 2819, and agrees that by doing so such Borrower’s
liability shall continue even if the Lender alters any obligations under the
Loan Documents in any respect or Lender’s remedies or rights against any
Borrower are in any way impaired or suspended without such Borrower’s consent.
(B) Each Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under CC
Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so such Borrower is liable even if such
Borrower had no liability at the time of execution of the Note or thereafter
ceased to be liable. Each Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and
defenses under CC Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so such Borrower’s
liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of any other
Borrower.
(C) Each Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under CC
Sections 2845, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, including, without limitation, the
right to require the Lender to (i) proceed against such Borrower or any other
guarantor or pledgor, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security or collateral
the Lender may hold, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy for such
Borrower’s benefit, and agrees that the Lender may proceed against such Borrower
for the Obligations without taking any action against any other Borrower or any
other guarantor or pledgor and without proceeding against or exhausting any
security or collateral the Lender holds. Each Borrower agrees that the Lender
may unqualifiedly exercise in its sole and absolute discretion, any or all
rights and remedies available to it against such Borrower or any other guarantor
or pledgor without impairing the Lender’s rights and remedies in enforcing this
Agreement and any other Loan Document, under which Borrower’s liabilities shall
remain independent and unconditional. Each Borrower agrees that the Lender’s
exercise of certain of such rights or remedies may affect or eliminate such
Borrower’s right of subrogation or recovery against any other Borrower and that
such Borrower may incur partially or totally non-reimbursable liability under
the foregoing, each Borrower expressly waives any and all benefits and defenses
under or based upon (1) California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) Section 580a
or 726(b), which would otherwise limit such Borrower’s liability after a
non-judicial or judicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the
obligations guaranteed herein and the fair market value or fair value,
respectively, of the Collateral or interests sold at such non-judicial or
judicial foreclosure sale, (2) CCP Sections 580b and 580d, which would otherwise
limit the Lender’s right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to
purchase money obligations and after a non-judicial or judicial foreclosure
sale, respectively, (3) CCP Section 726 which, among other things, would
otherwise require the Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal
20735538.3.BUSINESS
174
judgment may be obtained for a deficiency, and (4) Union Bank v. Gradsky or
subsequent judicial decisions arising out of or related to CCP Sections 726,
580a, 580b or 580d.
(D) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower waives
even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial or judicial
foreclosure with respect to security for a Obligation, has destroyed such
Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower by
otherwise. In addition, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such
Borrower may have because the Obligation is secured by indirect interests in
(a) the Lender may collect from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any
real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower; and
(b) if the Lender forecloses on any Collateral pledged by a Borrower:
(i) the amount of the Obligation may be reduced only by the price for which
more than the sale price; and
(ii) the Lender may collect from any Borrower even if the Lender, by
foreclosing on the Collateral, has destroyed any right any other Borrower may
have to collect from such Borrower.
(E) Each Borrower hereby waives all benefits and defenses under CC Sections
2847, 2848 and 2849 and agrees that such Borrower shall have no right of
subrogation or reimbursement against any other Borrower, no right of subrogation
against any collateral or security provided for in the Loan Documents and no
right of contribution against any other guarantor or pledgor unless and until
all amounts due under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and the Lender
any collateral or security. To the extent any Borrower’s waiver of these rights
of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution as set forth herein is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, each
Borrower agrees that its rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any
other Borrower and such Borrower’s right of subrogation against any collateral
or security shall be unconditionally junior and subordinate to the Lender’s
rights against it and any other Borrower and to the Lender’s right, title and
interest in such collateral or security, and each Borrower’s right of
contribution against any other guarantor or pledgor shall be unconditionally
junior and subordinate to the Lender’s rights against such other guarantor or
pledgor.

INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2787 TO 2855

Under the sixth subparagraph of Article 3(4) of that Regulation, that provision applies mutatis mutandis where the contract is replaced by a declaration.(2) As a result of the extreme drought that has affected certain regions of the Community for some months, the Commission adopted Regulations (EC) No 1360/2003(5) and (EC) No 1408/2003(6) authorising farmers, exceptionally, to use land declared as set aside in the regions affected for animal feed during the 2003/04 marketing year.(3) In view of the continuing difficulties in obtaining animal feed in the regions affected by the drought, a derogation should also be provided for to allow the use of the raw material grown on land declared as set aside under Regulation (EC) No 2461/1999. Since that derogation complements the derogation provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1408/2003, it should apply from the same date.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 11. By way of derogation from point (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2461/1999, applicants in a region recognised as affected by drought under Regulations (EC) No 1360/2003 and (EC) No 1408/2003, who have been authorised by the competent authority to amend or terminate their contract or the declaration referred to in Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2461/1999 may use the raw material harvested on the land concerned for animal feed during the 2003/04 marketing year.2. The Member States concerned shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the raw materials referred to in paragraph 1 are not used for lucrative purposes.Article 2This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 18 July 2003.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.Done at Brussels, 7 October 2003.For the CommissionFranz FischlerMember of the Commission(1) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 1.(2) OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 16.(3) OJ L 299, 20.11.1999, p. 16.(4) OJ L 55, 26.2.2002, p. 10.(5) OJ L 194, 1.8.2003, p. 35.(6) OJ L 201, 8.8.2003, p. 5. |

Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Titanium Metals Corporation John A. St. Wrba 5reeway, Suite 1700 Vice President and Treasurer Dallas, Texas 75240 (972) 233-1700 TIMET REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2009 RESULTS DALLAS, TEXAS August 4, 2009 Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TIE) reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $8.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $47.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s net sales were $205.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $297.3 million for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 31% principally resulting from lower volumes and average selling prices.Average selling prices are lower due to competitive pricing pressures resulting from lower demand for titanium products and declines in raw material costs, primarily titanium scrap, which have contributed to lower selling prices for certain products under long-term customer agreements, in part due to raw material indexed pricing adjustments included in certain of these agreements.Although the Company believes the long-term global outlook for titanium is favorable, recent adjustments to production schedules for Boeing and Airbus, delays in the completion of testing and development of the Boeing 787 and a weak global economy are expected to continue to impact customer inventory levels, product demand and product selling prices until commercial aerospace production schedules stabilize and global economic conditions improve. Operating income of $15.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 was down from $68.8 million for the same period in 2008, primarily reflecting the effects of lower volumes and average selling prices for melted and mill products.In addition, the favorable impacts from declining raw material costs, primarily titanium scrap, on the Company’s gross margins were largely offset by higher per-unit overhead costs resulting from lower production volumes, as well as unabsorbed overhead and other fixed production costs charged directly to cost of sales for certain manufacturing operations in the second quarter of 2009, as a result of low utilization of production capacity. Bobby D. O’Brien, President, said, “The global economy, along with excess inventories and declining demand within the commercial aerospace industry, continue to provide challenges for our business and the entire titanium industry. During 2009, our operating flexibility has allowed us to efficiently scale our operating levels and cost structure in response to reduced demand, which has contributed to our positive operating income, operating cash flows and strong financial position.Our management team remains intently focused on maintaining TIMET’s cost-efficiency throughout the current demand cycle through careful management of production rates, global workforce and costs. “It is difficult to predict when demand for our products will improve due to uncertainties related to global economic conditions and the outcome of current aircraft development challenges faced by major commercial aircraft manufacturers.While visibility is limited regarding the potential severity and duration of the current economic downturn, in July 2009, The Airline Monitor, a leading aerospace publication, updated its forecast for commercial aircraft deliveries.The updated forecast continues to predict record delivery levels over the next five years and thereafter, supporting our belief that long-term industry-wide demand will be strong for the foreseeable future.We remain confident that TIMET’s flexible operating structure and financial strength will continue to allow us to fully serve our customers and realize significant long-term growth and earnings potential.Our ongoing efforts and initiatives have allowed us to maintain flexibility in this environment while maintaining positive cash flow with no indebtedness and cash and borrowing availability under our bank credit agreements of approximately $324 million.” The statements contained in this release that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements that represent TIMET management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information.Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “looks,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “expects” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategies or trends.Although TIMET believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it does not know if these expectations will prove to be correct.Such statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results.Actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements, and TIMET disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this release, including risks and uncertainties in those portions referenced above and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC which include, but are not limited to: · the cyclicality of the commercial aerospace industry; · the performance of aerospace manufacturers and TIMET under long-term agreements; · the existence or renewal of certain long-term agreements; · the difficulty in forecasting demand for titanium products; · global economic and political conditions; · global production capacity for titanium; · changes in product pricing and costs; · the impact of long-term contracts with vendors on TIMET’s ability to reduce or increase supply; · the possibility of labor disruptions; · fluctuations in currency exchange rates; · fluctuations in the market price of marketable securities; · uncertainties associated with new product or new market development; · the availability of raw materials and services; · changes in raw material prices and other operating costs (including energy costs); · possible disruption of business or increases in the cost of doing business resulting from terrorist activities or global conflicts; · competitive products and strategies; and · other risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or expected. TIMET, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a leading worldwide producer of titanium metal products.Information on TIMET is available on its website at www.timet.com. ····· TITANIUM METALS CORPORATION CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (In millions, except per share and product shipment data) Three months ended June 30, Six months ended

Title: I'm a nurse in America and my company wants to discharge a Pt because they don't "make enoughn money" off of the patient. Is this legal?
Question:I'm a home health nurse and for a while my boss has been wanting to discharge one of my patients because they aren't making money off of the patient.
The type of insurance my patient has, my company has to supply the supplies for the wound and for a while my boss has made comments about getting rid of him because of the price of his supplies. For example one small box of his supplies costs around $600. And my boss says he is not worth keeping as a patient because they have to spend too much money on him and they aren't making any money off of him.
She told me that at the start of the year she was going to work hard to get rid of him. I don't think this is right at all and am thinking of recording her the next time I go to get some of my patients supplies just in case.
Is this legal for them to do? What can I or the patient do if they actually discharge him because of this?
Answer #1: This is a lot more complicated than the other comments imply. Home healthcare licensing in Texas requires conformity to federal home health regulations, specifically [42 CFR § 484](https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=26a7f4d445ef7a3d99ca4da856edabfc&mc=true&node=pt42.5.484&rgn=div5#se42.5.484_150), which limits when a patient may be discharged. "Unable to pay for services" is a valid reason but "not profitable enough" is not. This is outside my wheelhouse so I can't say exactly where that line is drawn, but it's worth passing it to the experts for a looskie.
I'd reckon your best bet would be Texas Health and Human Services' complaint office. Not sure if they take complaints anonymously.Answer #2: I would file a complaint with Texas Health & Human Services at their hotline 1-800-458-9858. You can submit the complaint anonymously if you want to. I'd also recommend contacting your local Ombudsman's office as they can assist you as well with filing a complaint if you want another layer of anonymity. This is against regulations related to discharging residents. Please make sure however you submit the complaint that you provide as many details of time/day/location/resident's name as you can because the more specific you are, the better it can be investigated, although be prepared that they may not be able to act unless or until your boss actually discharges the man.Answer #3: The real issue is the insurance not compensating enough. The insurance companies control so much and they’ll take advantage of smaller entities.
While it may seem like your boss is being unethical or flat out not caring, he or she may just want to be able to continue taking care of the patients that they can make money on and therefore continue providing services to. |

site selection, the use of a contract research organization, CRF and database
design, and such other matters as the JDC may determine are necessary based on
FDA recommendations or requirements with respect to such Study. Such PREA

Plan without [****] express written consent.

preparation and filing of all Regulatory Documentation in relation to the PREA
Commitment Study, including without limitation the application and any

4.7.2 Other Termination. Either Party may, subject to Section 4.7.3,
terminate Impax’s continued performance of the PREA Commitment Study upon
(i)
the FDA determines in writing that it no longer requires the PREA Commitment

the FDA (i) requires that the PREA Commitment Study [****];
(iii)
the FDA requires any other change to the design of the PREA Commitment Study as
currently envisaged in the PREA Commitment Study Clinical Protocol, that would,
in Impax’s reasonable opinion, result in non-reimbursable costs to Impax, to the
extent associated with such material changes and excluding any other costs
incurred by Impax, of more than [****]; or
(iv)
the JDC or AstraZeneca establishes a PREA Development Plan or subsequently
amends an existing PREA Development Plan to include additional activities that

4.7.3 Alternatives to Termination. Prior to any termination of Impax’s
performance of the PREA Commitment Study by either Party, the Parties shall

portions.
4.7.4 Effects of Termination of the PREA Commitment Study. If either Party
elects to terminate Impax’s continued performance of the PREA Commitment Study

promptly meet to discuss the process for either (a) winding down and closing the
PREA Commitment Study, or (b) in the case of termination under Section 4.7.2(b)
through (d), at AstraZeneca’s request and reasonable discretion, transferring
the conduct of the PREA Commitment Study to AstraZeneca or a Third Party.
Termination of Impax’s performance of the PREA Commitment Study pursuant to this
Section 4.7 at any time shall relieve Impax of any further obligation to conduct
the PREA Commitment Study other than as may be required in connection with any
transfer to AstraZeneca or a Third Party, any winddown activities or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law. To the extent the FDA thereafter continues
to require the performance of the PREA Commitment Study, AstraZeneca shall
conduct such Study in accordance with its general obligations under Section
4.1.1. Section 7.2.10 shall apply following any termination of Impax’s
performance of the PREA Commitment Study”

and Section 8.15.”
(b) The first sentence of Section 7.2.5 shall be amended to read as follows:
7.2.5. Other Limitation on Royalty Reductions. Notwithstanding any right of
offset or reduction of royalties provided in this Agreement, except as provided
in Sections 7.2.8 and 7.2.9, in no event shall any offset or reduction in
royalties payable by Impax, including pursuant to Sections 7.2.3, 8.15, 10.4.2,
and 10.6 whether such reduction is calculated alone or as aggregated with other
permitted reductions or offsets, cause the royalty amount payable by Impax to
AstraZeneca in any Calendar Quarter to fall below the [****] with respect to
such Calendar Quarter [****] in the Territory.”
(c) New Sections 7.2.8, 7.2.9 and 7.2.10 shall be added to Article 7 as

For clarity, the PREA Royalty Reduction shall apply in each Calendar Quarter for
the Calendar Years set forth in the table above after any deductions applicable
under Sections 7.2.3, 8.15, 10.4.2 and 10.6, and shall not be subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 7.2.4 and 7.2.5. If the PREA Royalty Reduction
in any Calendar Quarter calculated in accordance with the table above exceeds
the amount of the aggregate of the Royalty Payments payable to AstraZeneca in
such Calendar Quarter, the Royalty Payment owed for such Calendar Quarter shall
be reduced to zero dollars ($0) and AstraZeneca shall pay to Impax in
immediately available funds, within [****] following the delivery by Impax to
AstraZeneca of the reports and payments for such Calendar Quarter under Section
7.3, an amount equal to the difference between the absolute amount of the
applicable PREA Royalty Reduction and the Royalty Payment that would have been
owed for such Calendar Quarter prior to application of the PREA Royalty
Reduction. For clarity, any completion by Impax of the PREA Commitment Study
prior to the date of application of the last PREA Royalty Reduction shall not in
any way reduce the aggregate PREA Royalty Reduction set forth in the table
above, or in way vary the dates of application thereof as set forth herein this
Section 7.2.8.
7.2.9 Changes to PREA Commitment Study. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that in the event that (a) the FDA requires changes to the design and/or scope
of the PREA Commitment Study or (b) the JDC or the JSC requires Impax to perform
additional activities that are not included within the PREA Commitment Study
Clinical Protocol, the Parties, through the JDC, shall promptly estimate in good
faith any additional costs associated with such changes that are in Impax’s
reasonable opinion reasonably likely to be incurred by Impax in performance
thereof and thereafter the Parties shall, prior to the implementation of such
changes to the design and/or scope of the PREA Commitment Study by Impax or the
performance by Impax of such additional activities, discuss and agree upon an
increase in the amount of the PREA Royalty Reduction (and the Calendar Quarters
in which such PREA Royalty Reduction shall apply) to compensate Impax for such
additional costs.

7.2.10 Royalty Reduction in the Event of Early Termination. In the event
Impax’s performance of the PREA Commitment Study is terminated by either Party
prior to completion in accordance with Section 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 (but not, for the
avoidance of doubt, in the event of an alleged material breach by Impax of its
PREA Study Obligations), the PREA Royalty Reduction shall continue to apply
following the effective date of such termination for the limited periods set
forth as follows:
(i)
if the effective date of termination occurs prior to [****], the PREA Royalty
Reduction shall apply in full as set forth in the table in Section 7.2.8, up to

Reduction shall apply towards future Royalty Payments;
(ii)
if the effective date of termination occurs between [****], the PREA Royalty
Reduction shall apply in full for the Calendar Quarter in which such termination
occurs, and for the following [****] Calendar Quarters after which no further

(iii)
PREA Royalty Reduction shall apply towards future Royalty Payments; and
(iv)
Reduction shall apply in full through to [****], provided that if the Parties
agree upon additional funding for the PREA Commitment Study pursuant to Section

Parties shall also agree upon an equitable adjustment to the application of the
PREA Royalty Reduction upon any termination of the PREA Commitment Study based
on the principles set forth in this Section 7.2.10 (iii) and (iv) after which no
further PREA Royalty Reduction shall apply towards future Royalty Payments.
For clarity, in no event will any amounts already applied by Impax by way of a
PREA Royalty Reduction in any Calendar Quarter prior to the effective date of
termination of Impax’s performance of the PREA Commitment Study be refundable to
AstraZeneca. Following the conclusion or transfer of the PREA Commitment Study,
and following the application of the PREA Royalty Reductions following
termination as set forth in this Section 7.10.2(i) through (iv), as applicable,
the Royalty Payments shall revert to those as expressed under Section 7.2 of the
Agreement without application of the PREA Royalty Reduction.”
6. Amendment to Article 13 (Indemnity) of the Agreement. Article 13 of the
11
portions.
(a) Section 13.1.8 shall be amended to read as follows:
“13.1.8 the conduct of any Impax Study or the breach, gross negligence, or
willful or intentional misconduct by Impax in the conduct of the PREA Commitment
Study:”
(b) Section 13.2.7 shall be amended to read as follows:
“13.2.7 the conduct of the Selected Mandated Studies or any AstraZeneca
Studies;”
7. Amendment to Article 14 (Term, Termination and Other Remedies) of the
Agreement. Article 14 of the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 14.2.1 shall be amended to read as follows:
“14.2.1. Material Breach. If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes
that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached one or more
Notice”). If the Breaching Party disputes that it has committed a material
breach of one or more of its material obligations under this Agreement, then it
may refer the matter to the JOC or, in relation to any alleged material breach
of the PREA Study Obligations, the JDC for dispute resolution in accordance with
Section 2.2.3 or, solely in connection to disputes in relation to the PREA Study
Obligations, Section 2.6.4, and, if the JOC is unable to resolve the dispute as
contemplated in Section 2.2.3 or the JDC is unable to resolve the dispute as
contemplated in Section 2.6.4, then to the JSC for dispute resolution in
accordance with Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 (except that (i) the provisions of the
third sentence of Section 2.1.3(i) (regarding the power to make final
resolutions held by the Senior Officer of Impax) and (ii) disputes in connection
to the PREA Study Obligations shall not apply for purposes of this Section
14.2.1). If the JOC and the JSC or, in relation to any alleged material breach
of the PREA Study Obligations, the JDC and JSC, are unable to resolve the
dispute, and the Breaching Party fails to cure such alleged breach within [****]
after the receipt of the Default Notice, or in the case of a Payment default,
within [****] after receipt of the Default Notice, the Non-Breaching Party may:
(i) in the event of a material breach other than an alleged material breach by
Impax of its PREA Study Obligations, terminate this Agreement upon written
notice to the Breaching Party and (ii) in the event of an alleged material
breach by Impax of its PREA Study Obligations, AstraZeneca may immediately
terminate Impax’s continued performance of the PREA Commitment Study, in which
case no further PREA Royalty Reduction shall apply towards future Royalty
Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a breach (other than a
payment breach or a breach by Impax under Section 3.5) cannot be cured within
such [****] period, the period for cure may be extended an additional [****]
provided that the Breaching Party has promptly commenced efforts to cure such
breach after the Default Notice and thereafter diligently continues such
efforts. For clarity, breach by Impax of the PREA Study Obligations shall not
give rise to any right of AstraZeneca to terminate this Agreement.”
12
portions.
(b) Section 14.3.1 shall be amended to read as follows:
“14.3.1. Except with respect to the PREA Commitment Study and the PREA Study
Obligations, termination of which is exclusively governed by Section 4.7 of this
Agreement, Impax may terminate this Agreement any time after December 31, 2015,
by giving AstraZeneca [****] prior written notice thereof.”
8. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of
apply equally to this Amendment.
9. Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Amendment may be executed in two

24.8.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 274/3 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1492/2004 of 23 August 2004 amending Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards eradication measures for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in bovine, ovine and caprine animals, the trade and importation of semen and embryos of ovine and caprine animals and specified risk material (Text with EEA relevance) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 23 thereof, Whereas: (1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for eradication measures to be carried out following the confirmation of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in bovine, ovine and caprine animals. (2) On 14 September 2000, in its opinion on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-related culling in cattle, the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) concluded that largely the same effect can be reached by birth cohort culling as by herd culling. On 21 April 2004, the Biological Hazards panel of the European Food Safety Authority adopted an opinion in which it concludes that insufficient additional argument exists to modify the SSC opinion. The provisions relating to culling in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should be brought into line with those opinions. (3) In the interest of certainty of Community legislation, it is also necessary to clarify the definition of the cohort of a BSE case and the action to be taken regarding cohort animals in order to avoid different interpretations. (4) In addition, it is necessary to clarify the application of TSE eradication measures as they apply to pregnant ewes and to holdings containing multiple flocks. To address practical problems, the rules should be amended regarding holdings producing lambs for further fattening, the introduction of ewes of unknown genotype to infected holdings, and the time period during which derogations are to apply for the destruction of animals in holdings or breeds in which the frequency of the ARR allele is low. (5) Scrapie eradication measures, as advised in the opinion of the SSC of 4 April 2002, were inserted in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 260/2003 (2). Those measures were introduced on a gradual basis, in order to take account of management issues. According to currently available evidence, it is highly unlikely that the carcases of animals of less than two months of age contain significant amounts of infectivity, provided that the offal including the head is removed. Further amendments to the eradication measures should be made to resolve problems encountered in some Member States in relation to those young animals. (6) It is appropriate to introduce restrictions on holdings following the suspicion of scrapie in an ovine or caprine animal in order to avoid movement of other possibly infected animals prior to confirmation of the suspicion. (7) Testing requirements to permit the lifting of restrictions on infected holdings have proven to be excessively onerous for large flocks of sheep and should be amended. It is also appropriate to clarify the definition of the target groups for such testing. (8) General rules regarding the trade and importation of semen and embryos of ovine and caprine animals are laid down in Council Directive 92/65/EEC (3). Specific TSE rules for the placing on the market of semen and embryos of those species should be laid down in this Regulation. (9) In line with the current provisions provided for in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 on specified risk material to exclude the transverse processes of the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae from the list of specified risk material, the spinous processes of these vertebrae, the spinous and transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae and the median sacral crest should also not be considered as specified risk material. (10) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly. (11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Annexes I, VII, VIII, IX and XI to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Points 3 and 4 of the Annex to the present Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2005. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 23 August 2004. For the Commission David BYRNE Member of the Commission (1) OJ L 147, 31.5.2001, p. 1.

In Annex I, point 2 is replaced by the following: 2. For the purpose of this Regulation, the following (a) indigenous case of BSE means a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy which has not been clearly demonstrated to be due to infection prior to importation as a live animal; (b) discrete adipose tissue means internal and external body fat removed during the slaughter and cutting process, in particular fresh fat from the heart, caul and kidney of bovine animals, and fat from cutting rooms; (c) cohort means a group of bovine animals which includes both: (i) animals born in the same herd as the affected bovine animal, and within 12 months preceding or following the date of birth of the affected bovine animal; and (ii) animals which at any time during the first year of their lives were reared together with the affected bovine animal during the first year of its life; (d) index case means the first animal on a holding, or in an epidemiologically defined group, in which a TSE infection is confirmed. 2. Annex VII is replaced by the following: ANNEX VII ERADICATION OF TRANSMISSIBLE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY 1. The inquiry referred to in Article 13(1)(b) must identify: (a) in the case of bovine animals: all other ruminants on the holding of the animal in which the disease was confirmed, where the disease was confirmed in a female animal, its progeny born within two years prior to, or after, clinical onset of the disease, all animals of the cohort of the animal in which the disease was confirmed, the possible origin of the disease, other animals on the holding of the animal in which the disease was confirmed or on other holdings which may have become infected by the TSE agent or been exposed to the same feed or contamination source, the movement of potentially contaminated feedingstuffs, of other material or any other means of transmission, which may have transmitted the TSE agent to or from the holding in question; (b) in the case of ovine and caprine animals: all ruminants other than ovine and caprine animals on the holding of the animal in which the disease was confirmed, in so far as they are identifiable, the parents, and in the case of females all embryos, ova and the last progeny of the female animal in which the disease was confirmed, all other ovine and caprine animals on the holding of the animal in which the disease was confirmed in addition to those referred to in the second indent, the possible origin of the disease and the identification of other holdings on which there are animals, embryos or ova which may have become infected by the TSE agent or been exposed to the same feed or contamination source, the movement of potentially contaminated feedingstuffs, other material or any other means of transmission, which may have transmitted the BSE agent to or from the holding in question. 2. The measures laid down in Article 13(1)(c) shall comprise at least: (a) in the case of confirmation of BSE in a bovine animal, the killing and complete destruction of bovine animals identified by the inquiry referred to in the second and third indents of point 1(a); however, the Member State may decide: not to kill and destroy animals of the cohort referred to in the third indent of point 1(a) if evidence has been provided that such animals did not have access to the same feed as the affected animal, to defer the killing and destruction of animals in the cohort referred to in the third indent of point 1(a) until the end of their productive life, provided that they are bulls continuously kept at a semen collection centre and it can be ensured that they are completely destroyed following death; (b) in the case of confirmation of TSE in an ovine or caprine animal, from 1 October 2003, according to the decision of the competent authority: (i) either the killing and complete destruction of all animals, embryos and ova identified by the inquiry referred to in the second and third indents of point 1(b) or (ii) the killing and complete destruction of all animals, embryos and ova identified by the inquiry referred to in the second and third indents of point 1(b), with the exception of: breeding rams of the ARR/ARR genotype, breeding ewes carrying at least one ARR allele and no VRQ allele and, where such breeding ewes are pregnant at the time of the inquiry, the lambs subsequently born, if their genotype meets the requirements of this subparagraph, sheep carrying at least one ARR allele which are intended solely for slaughter, if the competent authority so decides, sheep and goats less than two months old which are intended solely for slaughter; (iii) if the infected animal has been introduced from another holding, a Member State may decide, based on the history of the case, to apply eradication measures in the holding of origin in addition to, or instead of, the holding in which the infection was confirmed; in the case of land used for common grazing by more than one flock, Member States may decide to limit the application of those measures to a single flock, based on a reasoned consideration of all the epidemiological factors; where more than one flock is kept on a single holding, Member States may decide to limit the application of the measures to the flock in which scrapie has been confirmed, provided it has been verified that the flocks have been kept isolated from each other and that the spread of infection between the flocks through either direct or indirect contact is unlikely; (c) in the case of confirmation of BSE in an ovine or caprine animal, killing and complete destruction of all animals, embryos and ova identified by the inquiry referred to in the second to fifth indents of point 1(b). 3. If scrapie is suspected in an ovine or caprine animal at a holding in a Member State, all other ovine and caprine animals from that holding shall be placed under official movement restriction until the results of the examination are available. If there is evidence that the holding where the animal was present when scrapie was suspected is not likely to be the holding where the animal could have been exposed to scrapie, the competent authority may decide that other holdings or only the holding of exposure shall be placed under official control depending on the epidemiological information available. 4. Only the following animals may be introduced to the holding(s) where destruction has been undertaken in accordance with point 2(b)(i) or (ii): (a) male sheep of the ARR/ARR genotype; (b) female sheep carrying at least one ARR allele and no VRQ allele; (c) caprine animals, provided that: (i) no ovine animals for breeding other than those of the genotypes referred to in points (a) and (b) are present on the holding, (ii) thorough cleaning and disinfection of all animal housing on the premises has been carried out following destocking, (iii) the holding shall be subjected to intensified TSE monitoring, including the testing of all caprine animals which are over the age of 18 months and: either are slaughtered for human consumption at the end of their productive lives, or which have died or been killed on the holding, and which meet the criteria referred to in Annex III, Chapter A, Part II, point 3. 5. Only the following ovine germinal products may be used in the holding(s) where destruction has been undertaken in accordance with point 2(b)(i) or (ii): (a) semen from rams of the ARR/ARR genotype; (b) embryos carrying at least one ARR allele and no VRQ allele. 6. During a transitional period until 1 January 2006 at the latest, and by way of derogation from the restriction set out in point 4(b), where it is difficult to obtain replacement ovine animals of a known genotype, Member States may decide to allow non-pregnant ewes of an unknown genotype to be introduced to the holdings referred to in point 2(b)(i) and (ii). 7. Following the application on a holding of the measures referred to in point 2(b)(i) and (ii): (a) movement of ARR/ARR sheep from the holding shall not be subject to any restriction; (b) sheep carrying only one ARR allele may be moved from the holding only to go directly for slaughter for human consumption or for the purposes of destruction; however, ewes carrying one ARR allele and no VRQ allele may be moved to other holdings which are restricted following the application of measures in accordance with point 2(b)(ii), if the competent authority so decides, lambs carrying one ARR allele and no VRQ allele may be moved to one other holding solely for the purposes of fattening prior to slaughter; the destination holding shall not contain any ovine or caprine animals other than those being fattened prior to slaughter, and shall not dispatch live ovine or caprine animals to other holdings, except for direct slaughter; (c) if the Member State so decides, sheep and goats less than two months old may be moved from the holding to go directly for slaughter for human consumption; the head and organs of the abdominal cavity of such animals shall however be disposed of in accordance with Article 4(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), (d) without prejudice to subparagraph (c), sheep of genotypes not referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) may only be moved from the holding for the purposes of destruction. 8. The restrictions referred to in points 4, 5 and 7 shall continue to apply to the holding for a period of three years from: (a) the date of attainment of ARR/ARR status by all ovine animals on the holding or (b) the last date when any ovine or caprine animal was kept on the premises or (c) in the case of point 4(c), the date when the intensified TSE monitoring commenced or (d) the date when all breeding rams on the holding are of ARR/ARR genotype and all breeding ewes carry at least one ARR allele and no VRQ allele, provided that during the three-year period, negative results are obtained from TSE testing of the following animals over the age of 18 months: an annual sample of ovine animals slaughtered for human consumption at the end of their productive lives in accordance with the sample size indicated in the table in Annex III, Chapter A, Part II, point 4; and all ovine animals referred to in Annex III, Chapter A, Part II, point 3 which have died or been killed on the holding. 9. Where the frequency of the ARR allele within the breed or holding is low, or where it is deemed necessary in order to avoid inbreeding, a Member State may decide to: (a) delay the destruction of animals as referred to in point 2(b)(i) and (ii) for up to five breeding years; (b) allow ovine animals other than those referred to in point 4 to be introduced to the holdings referred to in point 2(b)(i) and (ii), provided that they do not carry a VRQ allele. 10.

Vanguard Explorer Fund Summary Prospectus August 15, 2014 Investor Shares & Admiral Shares Vanguard Explorer Fund Investor Shares (VEXPX) Vanguard Explorer Fund Admiral Shares (VEXRX) The Funds statutory Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information dated August 15, 2014, as may be amended or supplemented, are incorporated into and made part of this Summary Prospectus by reference. Before you invest, you may want to review the Funds Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Funds Prospectus and other information about the Fund online at www.vanguard.com/prospectus . You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 800-662-7447 or by sending an e-mail request to [email protected]. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Investment Objective The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. Fees and Expenses The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold Investor Shares or Admiral Shares of the Fund. Shareholder Fees (Fees paid directly from your investment) Investor Shares Admiral Shares Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases None None Purchase Fee None None Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Reinvested Dividends None None Redemption Fee None None Account Service Fee (for certain fund account balances below $20/year $20/year $10,000) Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Investor Shares Admiral Shares Management Fees 0.49% 0.33% 12b-1 Distribution Fee None None Other Expenses 0.03% 0.02% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 1 0.52% 0.35% 1 The expense information shown in the table has been restated to reflect estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. 1 Examples The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Funds Investor Shares or Admiral Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. They illustrate the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over various periods if you invest $10,000 in the Funds shares. These examples assume that the Shares provide a return of 5% a year and that total annual fund operating expenses remain as stated in the preceding table. The results apply whether or not you redeem your investment at the end of the given period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Investor Shares $53 $167 $291 $653 Admiral Shares $36 $113 $197 $443 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in more taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the previous expense examples, reduce the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 65% of the average value of its portfolio. Principal Investment Strategies The Fund invests mainly in the stocks of small companies. These companies tend to be unseasoned but are considered by the Funds advisors to have superior growth potential. Also, these companies often provide little or no dividend income. The Fund uses multiple investment advisors. Principal Risks An investment in the Fund could lose money over short or even long periods. You should expect the Funds share price and total return to fluctuate within a wide range, like the fluctuations of the overall stock market. The Fund is subject to the following risks, which could affect the Funds performance: Stock market risk , which is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. 2 Investment style risk , which is the chance that returns from small-capitalization growth stocks will trail returns from the overall stock market. Historically, small-cap stocks have been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that dominate the overall market, and they often perform quite differently. Small companies tend to have greater stock volatility because, among other things, these companies are more sensitive to changing economic conditions. Manager risk , which is the chance that poor security selection will cause the Fund to underperform relevant benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective. In addition, significant investment in the information technology sector subjects the Fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of this sector. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Annual Total Returns The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Funds Investor Shares has varied from one calendar year to another over the periods shown. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the share classes presented compare with those of a relevant market index, which has investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund. Keep in mind that the Funds past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. Annual Total Returns Vanguard Explorer Fund Investor Shares 1 1 The year-to-date return as of the most recent calendar quarter, which ended on June 30, 2014, was 2.32%. During the periods shown in the bar chart, the highest return for a calendar quarter was 19.79% (quarter ended June 30, 2009), and the lowest return for a quarter was 26.16% (quarter ended December 31, 2008). 3 Average Annual Total Returns for Periods Ended December 31, 2013 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years Vanguard Explorer Fund Investor Shares Return Before Taxes 44.36% 23.08% 9.20% Return After Taxes on Distributions Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares Vanguard Explorer Fund Admiral Shares Return Before Taxes 44.59% 23.28% 9.39% Russell 2500 Growth Index (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes) 40.65% 24.03% 10.11% Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. When after-tax returns are calculated, it is assumed that the shareholder was in the highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket at the time of each distribution of income or capital gains or upon redemption. State and local income taxes are not reflected in the calculations. Please note that after-tax returns are shown only for the Investor Shares and may differ for each share class. After-tax returns are not relevant for a shareholder who holds fund shares in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan. Also, figures captioned Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other figures for the same period if a capital loss occurs upon redemption and results in an assumed tax deduction for the shareholder.

Commenting on the results, Frank Saxon, president and chief executive officer of Culp, Inc., said, “Culp delivered another solid performance in fiscal 2015, as we achieved higher annual sales and improved profitability in both businesses.Notably, this is the sixth consecutive year of overall annual sales growth and a new record year for mattress fabrics sales.Throughout the year, we have continued to execute our strategy with a focus on design creativity and product innovation, supported by exceptional service.Together, these efforts have driven our sales performance, both with existing key customers and new customers.Our ability to sustain excellence in creating innovative fabrics that meet changing customer demands is an important advantage for Culp.As a result, we have further enhanced our leadership position in both businesses, and we look forward to continued success in the year ahead. “Importantly, we achieved excellent free cash flow of $15.1 million in fiscal 2015, up from $13.8 million achieved the previous year.As a result, we are pleased to announce today that our Board of Directors approved a special cash dividend of $0.40 per share, in line with our capital allocation strategy, as well as approved our regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share.This action reflects our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders.At the same time, we have the financial strength to make strategic investments necessary to enhance and expand our production capabilities and take advantage of additional growth opportunities in fiscal 2016,” added Saxon.

Upholstery Fabrics Segment Sales for this segment were $30.7 million for the fourth quarter, compared with sales of $30.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.For fiscal 2015, upholstery fabric sales were $130.4 million, up 3.1 percent, compared with $126.5 million in fiscal 2014. “Overall, we are pleased with the steady growth in sales and improved profitability for upholstery fabrics in fiscal 2015,” noted Boyd Chumbley, executive vice president of Culp’s upholstery fabrics division.“Notably, this marks the sixth straight year of annual sales improvement.These results reflect the continued success of our product-driven strategy with a focus on design and innovation.This strategy has also allowed us to diversify our customer base and target additional end-user markets, including the hospitality market and “lifestyle” retail category.Additionally, we experienced higher demand for cut and sewn kits in fiscal 2015, which further supported our sales for the year. “Our global platform provides significant manufacturing flexibility, and we have continued to leverage this capability to meet changing customer demand.Sales of China produced fabrics accounted for approximately 90 percent of upholstery fabric sales in fiscal 2015, providing a diverse product mix of fabric styles and price points with excellent service and quality. “Culp has a proven reputation as an industry leader known for innovative products and creative fabric designs,” added Chumbley.“Our ability to keep pace with current style trends is a critical advantage for our customers, and we are encouraged by our favorable showing at the recent April furniture market with significant new placements.We believe Culp is well positioned for sustained growth in upholstery fabrics, especially as the overall economy improves with a more stable U.S. housing market and higher consumer spending for home furnishings.” Balance Sheet and Free Cash Flow “We are pleased to end fiscal 2015 with a strong financial position,” added Ken Bowling, chief financial officer of Culp, Inc.“The company generated $15.1 million in free cash flow in fiscal 2015, after investing $10.5 million in capital expenditures.The $15.1 million is above last year’s free cash flow of $13.8 million.Both our businesses did an outstanding job in managing working capital, which contributed to the strong free cash flow this fiscal year.During fiscal 2015, we used the free cash flow to build our net cash position by approximately $7.0 million and to return $8.3 million of cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.Looking ahead to fiscal 2016, we expect another good year of free cash flow, with capital expenditures projected to be $7.5 million to $9.0 million and modest growth in working capital. As of May 3, 2015, we reported $39.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.Total debt at the end of fiscal 2015 was $2.2million, which represents the final installment on our term loan due August 2015.Notably, our net cash position, or cash minus total debt, was $37.5 million at the end of the year, the highest net cash level in Culp’s history.” -MORE- CFI Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2015 Page 4 June 18, 2015 Dividends and Share Repurchases Consistent with its capital allocation strategy, the company announced that its Board of Directors has approved the payment of a special cash dividend of $0.40 per share. In addition, the Board approved the payment of the company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share.Both of these payments will be made on July 15, 2015, to shareholders of record as of July 1, 2015.Future dividend payments are subject to Board approval and may be adjusted at the Board’s discretion as business needs or market conditions change. For fiscal 2015, the company purchased 43,014 shares of Culp common stock for $745,000, all of which were purchased in the first and second quarters, pursuant to the $5.0 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in February 2014.This leaves $4.3 million available for additional share repurchases. Since June 2011, and including the special and regular dividends to be paid in July, the company will have returned approximately $35 million to shareholders in the form of regular quarterly and special dividends and share repurchases. Saxon said, “We are pleased that our strong financial performance and solid cash flow for fiscal 2015 have provided an opportunity to pay another special dividend, our third in three years.This action reflects our confidence in Culp’s future and our commitment to generating value for our shareholders.” Outlook Commenting on the outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, Saxon remarked, “At this time, we expect overall sales to be up one percent to four percent as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2015.The first quarter of fiscal 2016 will have one less week than the first quarter of the prior year, or 13 weeks compared with 14 weeks. “We expect first quarter sales in our mattress fabrics business to be up four percent to eight percent as compared with the same period a year ago.Operating income and margins in this segment are expected to be moderately higher, compared with the same period a year ago. “In our upholstery fabrics business, we expect first quarter sales to be slightly lower compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2015.We believe the upholstery fabrics segment’s operating income and margins will be flat when compared with the same quarter oflast year. “Considering these factors, the company expects to report pre-tax income for the first fiscal quarter of 2016 in the range of $5.2 million to $5.7 million.Pre-tax income for last year’s first quarter was $5.5 million. “Based on our current budget, capital expenditures for fiscal 2016 are expected to be approximately $7.5 million to $9.0 million, primarily related to our mattress fabrics business.Additionally, the company expects another good year of free cash flow, even after a higher than normal level of capital expenditures and modest growth in working capital.” In closing, Saxon remarked, “We are pleased with Culp’s performance in fiscal 2015 and our ability to execute our strategy and enhance our leadership position in a global marketplace.Our consistent top-line growth reflects our ability to leverage our outstanding design capabilities and deliver a wide range of innovative fabrics that keep pace with customer demand and style trends.We are well positioned to support our continued growth in both businesses with our flexible and scalable global manufacturing platform, backed by excellent customer service.At the same time, we have maintained a solid financial position and generated strong free cash flow, allowing us to reward our shareholders with significant dividend payments and share repurchases.Above all, we are committed to outstanding performance for our customers as a financially stable and trusted source for innovative fabrics.We are excited about the opportunities before us as we look ahead to fiscal 2016 and beyond.” -MORE- CFI Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2015 Page 5 June 18, 2015 About the Company Culp, Inc. is one of the world's largest marketers of mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential and commercial furniture.The company markets a variety of fabrics to its global customer base of leading bedding and furniture companies, including fabrics produced at Culp’s manufacturing facilities and fabrics sourced through other suppliers.Culp has operations located in the United States, Canada and China.

Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions.Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects.Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affectus adversely. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make our products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the United States, and strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can have a negative impact on our sales of products produced in those places. Also, economic and political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July11, 2014 for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2014.In addition, please note that the company is not responsible for changes made to this release by wire services, internet services, or other media. -MORE- CFI Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2015 Page 6 June 18, 2015 CULP, INC.

Title: If two intoxicated people have sex, what happens?
Question:If I attended a party and ended up blackout drunk, meaning I could not consent to sex, what happens if it turns out that the guy was also blackout drunk, meaning he could not consent to sex either. Is it a matter of who files a report first? Would it get thrown out if he filed a report as well? Technically speaking, since neither of us were consenting parties, we sexually assaulted each other.
Answer #1: An intoxicated baby?
Isn't that how it works? |

Title: [CA] Landlord refused my rent payment three times, I'm now being evicted for nonpayment!
Question:I signed a one-year lease on an apartment -- I've been there 8 months. I was a day late with my Sept rent and received a 3-day-notice. I paid the rent by personal check and put it into the box. I ran into the manager the next day, and she gave me back my check, along with a invoice for $700 for a bunch of other charges: building utilities and a late fee for them. She also tells me it needs to be a cashier's check because it's late. OK, fine. I get a cashier check for the $700 and include the original personal check for the rent (I always paid with personal checks).
Again, she returned my payments, saying she needed ONE check for the FULL amount, and it needed to be a cashier check. Well, I pleaded with her to please accept the payment, as I was going out of town to my grandfather's funeral. She said, OK... let me check with my boss. A week went by, no calls, no emails. All my attempts to contact her (every day I emailed her about the rent) were unanswered. I got back into town and went to her in person, she said her boss said no, and that she does need the ONE check. I got the check, brought it to her tomorrow, she said, "Sorry I can't accept that, we have started the process of evicting you for non-payment" I got the eviction notice last night. Is this legal!?
TL;DR I tried to pay my rent, they refused payment three times, now are serving me with eviction papers over non-payment.
Answer #1: GO TO COURT. DO NOT MISS THIS HEARING. Be prepared to pay the full amount owed while in court. If you show the judge that you attempted to pay in good faith, and that you have been reserving the money to do so, the judge may dismiss the case if you present payment right then and there.Answer #2: Go to the hearing with the money and the judge will probably stop the eviction, but your landlords are sort of assholes, it seems like way more trouble to evict you than to bend an inch on having one check versus two even if there is some specification about a cashier's check or money order being used to pay late rent.Answer #3: Not sure about your lease in specifics, but most of them have some provision that if you are late, all future payment has to be more liquid (cashiers check, money order, etc.). If it's specified in the lease and you didn't comply with it, then the landlord is within their rights to refuse payment. Answer #4: $700 for building utilities? That's insane!Answer #5: Does your lease say anything about payment methods?Answer #6: Why didn't you get a cashier's check for the $700 plus rent the first time? You would have saved yourself a lot of hassle complying with the terms of the lease had you done it correctly the first time. You were already at the bank getting a cashiers check after all. Answer #7: >along with a invoice for $700 for a bunch of other charges: building utilities and a late fee for them.
Were you behind on utilities too? Is this for one month? Or were you a couple months behind? If so, that might explain why they're working so hard to get you out. |

Exhibit 12 , 2012 Panorama Series Fund, Inc. - Growth Portfolio Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds - Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA 6803 South Tucson Way Centennial, CO80112 Re: Reorganization of Panorama Series Fund, Inc. - Growth Portfolio into Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds - Oppenheimer Main Street Funds/VA Ladies and Gentlemen: You have requested our opinion as to certain federal income tax consequences of the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of , 2012 (the “Agreement”) by and between Growth Portfolio, a series of Panorama Series Fund, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (“Acquired Fund”), and Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA, a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (“Acquiring Fund”).1In the Reorganization, Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of Acquired Fund in exchange solely for [Non-Service] Shares of Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) and the assumption by Acquiring Fund of certain liabilities of Acquired Fund, followed by the Acquired Fund’s distribution of those shares pro rata to its shareholders of record in liquidation of Acquired Fund. In rendering this opinion, we have examined (1)the Agreement, (2)the Combined Prospectus and Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February , 2012 regarding the Reorganization (“Proxy”) that was furnished to Shareholders, and (3)other documents we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes hereof (collectively, “Documents”).We have assumed, for purposes hereof, the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in all the Documents.As to various matters of fact material to this opinion, we have relied, exclusively and without independent verification (with your permission), on the representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement and on the statements and representations of officers and other representatives of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund (collectively, “Representations”).We have assumed that any Representation made “to the knowledge and belief” (or similar qualification) of any person or party is, and at the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement) will be, correct without such qualification.We have also assumed that as to all matters for which a person or entity has represented that such person or entity is not a party to, does not have, or is not aware of any plan, intention, understanding, or agreement, there is no such plan, intention, understanding, or agreement.Finally, we have assumed that the Documents and the Representations present all the material and relevant facts relating to the Reorganization. OPINION Based solely on the facts and representations set forth in the reviewed documents and the Representations of officers of the Funds, and conditioned on (i) those representations’ being true on the Closing Date of the Reorganization and (ii) the Reorganization’s being consummated in accordance with the Agreement (without the waiver or modification of any terms or conditions thereof), our opinion with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization is as follows. 1.The Reorganization will be a reorganization under section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code, and Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund will each be a party to a reorganization under section 368(b) of the Code. 2.No gain or loss will be recognized by Acquired Fund upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to, and the assumption of certain of its liabilities by, Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for the Acquiring Fund Shares, followed by the distribution of those Acquiring Fund Shares to Acquired Fund’s shareholders in liquidation of Acquired Fund. 3.No gain or loss will be recognized by Acquiring Fund on the receipt of Acquired Fund's assets in exchange solely for the Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of certain of the liabilities of Acquired Fund. 4.The basis of Acquired Fund's assets in the hands of Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of such assets in Acquired Fund's hands immediately prior to the Reorganization. 5.Acquiring Fund's holding period in the assets received from Acquired Fund will include Acquired Fund's holding period in such assets (except where Acquiring Fund’s investment activities have the effect of reducing or eliminating an asset’s holding period). 6.Acquired Fund’s shareholders will recognize no gain or loss on the exchange of their shares of beneficial interest in Acquired Fund (“Acquired Fund Shares”) for Acquiring Fund Shares in the Reorganization. 7.Acquired Fund’s shareholders’ aggregate basis in the Acquiring Fund Shares received by them will be the same as their aggregate basis in the Acquired Fund Shares surrendered in exchange therefor. 8.The holding period of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by Acquired Fund’s shareholders will include the holding period of the Acquired Fund Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided those Acquired Fund Shares were held as capital assets on the date of the Reorganization. No opinion will be expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on (i) Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund with respect to any asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting or (ii) any Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund shareholder that is required to recognize unrealized gains and losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes under a mark-to-market system of accounting. Our opinion is based on, and is conditioned on the continued applicability of, the provisions of the Code and the Regulations, judicial decisions, and rulings and other pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (“Service”) in existence on the date hereof.All the foregoing authorities are subject to change or modification that can be applied retroactively and thus also could affect the conclusions expressed herein; we assume no responsibility to update our opinion after the date hereof with respect to any such change or modification.Our opinion represents our best judgment regarding how a court would decide the issues addressed herein and is not binding on the Service or any court.Moreover, our opinion does not provide any assurance that a position taken in reliance thereon will not be challenged by the Service, and although we believe that our opinion would be sustained by a court if challenged, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our opinion addresses only the specific federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization set forth above and does not address any other federal, or any state, local, or foreign tax consequences of the Reorganization or any other action (including any taken in connection therewith).Our opinion also applies only if each Fund is solvent, and we express no opinion about the tax treatment of the transactions described herein if either Fund is insolvent.Finally, our opinion is solely for the addressees’ information and use and may not be relied on for any purpose by any other person without our express written consent, except that our opinion may be disclosed to any Fund Shareholders and they may rely on it as if they were addressees of this opinion, it being understood that we are not establishing any lawyer-client relationship with any Fund Shareholders. Very truly yours, 1Each of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund is sometimes referred to herein as a “Fund.” The term “Shareholders” refers to holders of beneficial interest in Acquired Fund or common stock in Acquiring Fund, as the case may be.All “section” references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), unless otherwise noted.
