In the event of any error or delay in the determination of such net asset value for which the Accounting Agent may be liable, the Fund and the Accounting Agent will consult and make good faith efforts to reach agreement on what actions should be taken in order to mitigate any loss suffered by the Fund or its present or former shareholders, in order that the Accounting Agent's exposure to liability shall be reduced to the extent possible after taking into account all relevant factors and alternatives. Such actions might include the Fund or the Accounting Agent taking reasonable steps to collect from any shareholder or former shareholder who has received any overpayment upon redemption of shares such overpaid amount or to collect from any shareholder who has underpaid upon a purchase of shares the amount of such underpayment or to reduce the number of shares issued to such shareholder. It is understood that in attempting to reach agreement on the actions to be taken or the amount of the loss which should appropriately be borne by the Accounting Agent, the Fund and the Accounting Agent will consider such relevant factors as the amount of the loss involved, the Fund's desire to avoid loss of shareholder good will, the fact that other persons or entities could have been reasonably expected to have detected the error sooner than the time it was actually discovered, the appropriateness of limiting or eliminating the benefit which shareholders or former shareholders might have obtained by reason of the error, and the possibility that other parties providing services to the Fund might be induced to absorb a portion of the loss incurred.

Such actions might include the Fund or the Accounting Agent taking reasonable steps to collect from any shareholder or former shareholder who has received any overpayment upon redemption of shares such overpaid amount or to collect from any shareholder who has underpaid upon a purchase of shares the amount of such underpayment or to reduce the number of shares issued to such shareholder. It is understood that in attempting to reach agreement on the actions to be taken or the amount of the loss which should appropriately be borne by the Accounting Agent, the Fund and the Accounting Agent will consider such relevant factors as the amount of the loss involved, the Fund's desire to avoid loss of shareholder good will, the fact that other persons or entities could have been reasonably expected to have detected the error sooner than the time it was actually discovered, the appropriateness of limiting or eliminating the benefit which shareholders or former shareholders might have obtained by reason of the error, and the possibility that other parties providing services to the Fund might be induced to absorb a portion of the loss incurred.
