Custodian shall have no duty to verify the accuracy of the tax cost basis or dates of acquisition furnished by Issuer.

If Issuer does not provide such information, Custodian shall use the cost or nominal value for such Securities, solely for administrative convenience. Pursuant to Section 13 Issuer shall release, indemnify, defend and hold Custodian harmless, and Custodian shall be without liability, for any Losses incurred as a result of errors or omissions with respect to any pricing or other information utilized by Custodian hereunder.
