Instructions.

4.1 Authorized Persons. The Custodian may treat any Authorized Person as having full authority of the Fund to issue Instructions hereunder. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon the authority of any Authorized Persons until it receives appropriate written notice from the Fund to the contrary.

4.2      Form of Instruction. Each Instruction, other than Oral Instructions, shall be transmitted by such secured or authenticated electro-mechanical means as the Custodian shall make available to the Fund from time to time unless the Fund shall elect to transmit such Written Instruction in accordance with Subsections (1) through (3) of this Section.

4.2.3      Other Forms of Instruction. Instructions may also be transmitted by another means determined by the Fund or Authorized Persons and acknowledged and accepted by the Custodian and/or its Sub-custodian(s) (including DocuSign initiated by the Custodian), it being understood that such acknowledgement shall authorize the Custodian to accept such means or delivery but shall not represent a judgment by the Custodian as to the reasonableness or security of the means utilized by the Authorized Person, including Oral Instructions, and Instructions by SWIFT or Instructions sent by facsimile, electronic mail or other Electronic Means.

When an Instruction is given by means established under Subsections (1) through (3), it shall be the responsibility of the Custodian to use reasonable care to adhere to its authentication policies and procedures for manual instruction to determine that such Instruction is given by an Authorized Person or are transmitted with proper testing or authentication pursuant to terms and conditions which Custodian may specify, including DocuSign initiated by Custodian. The Authorized Person shall be solely responsible for determining that the particular means chosen is reasonable under the circumstances.

If the Custodian receives Instructions using Electronic Means, or any such Instruction contains a digital signature executed pursuant to the means provided for in Section 11.5, and the Custodian acts upon such Instructions, the Custodian’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Fund understands and agrees that the Custodian cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions or the actual signer of the digital signature, and that the Custodian shall conclusively presume that they have been sent by an Authorized Person. The Fund shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Persons transmit such Instructions or digital signatures to the Custodian and that all Authorized Persons treat applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys with extreme care. The Custodian shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Custodian’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions or digital signatures. The Fund agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of digital signatures or Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Custodian, including without limitation the risk of the Custodian acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the use of digital signatures, as well as the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Custodian, and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting signatures and Instructions than the methods selected by the Fund; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with the transmission of digital signatures and/or Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances and (iv) to notify the Custodian immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

In its sole discretion, Custodian may, but shall not be required to, accept Oral Instructions given to Custodian by telephone. Oral Instructions delivered to Custodian by telephone will be provided by telephone on a contingency basis only; and will, within two (2) hours thereafter, be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Person in the manner set forth herein, provided, however, the Fund agrees that the failure of the Custodian to receive such confirming Instructions timely or at all shall in no way affect the validity of the transactions or enforceability of the transactions which were the subject of such oral Instruction. The Fund further agrees that the Custodian shall incur no liability to the Fund or the Fund for acting upon Oral Instructions given to the Custodian hereunder. The Fund further consents to the recording by the Custodian of any Oral Instructions given by the Fund or on the Fund’s behalf. The provisions of Section 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code shall apply to funds transfers performed in accordance with Instructions.

4.3 Completeness and Contents of Instructions. The Authorized Person shall be responsible for assuring the adequacy and accuracy of Instructions. Particularly, upon any acquisition or disposition or other dealing in Investments and upon any delivery and transfer of any Investment or moneys, the person initiating the Instruction shall give the Custodian an Instruction with all necessary information required by Custodian to enable Custodian to carry out the Instructions. If the Custodian determines that an Instruction is either unclear or incomplete, the Custodian may give prompt notice of such determination to the Fund, and the Fund shall thereupon amend or otherwise reform the Instruction. In such event, the Custodian shall have no obligation to take any action in response to the Instruction initially delivered until the redelivery of an amended or reformed Instruction. The Custodian need not act upon Instructions which it reasonably believes to be contrary to Applicable Law or market practice, but Custodian shall be under no duty to investigate whether any Instructions comply with Applicable Law or market practice. In the event Custodian elects to not act upon Instructions as provided in the foregoing sentence, Custodian shall promptly notify the Fund and/or the Fund, as applicable, of any Instructions it believes to be contrary to Applicable Law or market practice.

4.4 Timeliness of Instructions. In giving an Instruction, the Fund shall take into consideration delays which may occur due to the involvement of a Sub-custodian or agent, differences in time zones, and other factors particular to a given market, exchange or issuer. When the Custodian has established specific timing requirements or deadlines with respect to particular classes of Instruction, or when an Instruction is received by the Custodian at such a time that it could not reasonably be expected to have acted on such instruction due to time zone differences or other factors beyond its reasonable control, the execution of any Instruction received by the Custodian after such deadline or at such time (including any modification or revocation of a previous Instruction) shall be at the risk of the Fund. Custodian has established cut-off times for receipt of some categories of Instruction, which shall be made available to the Fund and the Funds or other third parties, as appropriate. If Custodian receives an Instruction after its established cut-off time, Custodian shall attempt to act upon the Instruction on the day requested on a commercially reasonable basis or otherwise as soon as practicable on the next Business Day.

5.6 Advances for Settlement. Except as otherwise may be agreed upon by the parties hereto, the Custodian shall not be required to comply with any Instructions to settle the purchase of any Investments on behalf of a Fund unless there is sufficient Cash in the account(s) pertaining to such Fund at the time or to settle the sale of any Investments from such an account(s) unless such Investments are in deliverable form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the purchase price of such Investments exceeds the amount of Cash in the account(s) at the time of such purchase, the Custodian may, in its sole discretion, advance the amount of the difference in order to settle the purchase of such Investments. The amount of any such advance shall be deemed a loan from the Custodian to the Fund payable on demand and bearing interest accruing from the date such loan is made up to but not including the date such loan is repaid at the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points and otherwise on the terms on which the Custodian makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. No prior action or course of dealing on Custodian’s part with respect to the settlement of transactions on the Fund’s behalf shall be asserted by Fund or the Fund against Custodian for Custodian’s refusal to make Advances to settle any transaction for which Fund does not have sufficient available funds in the applicable currency in the Account. The Custodian shall not have any responsibility for delivery of a security not held in the Account. Whenever an Advance is made, the Fund agrees that Custodian shall have a continuing custodial lien over the Investments in the Accounts to the extent of and for the duration of such advance, in an amount sufficient to repay the indebtedness and any fee associated therewith, until repaid, and all the rights of a secured party under the Section 9-206 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in Ohio from time to time.

The Custodian may execute any of the powers hereof and perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents, attorneys or affiliates and shall not be responsible for the conduct of the same if selected with reasonable care.

6.7          No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Cash Accounts, Deposits, Money Movements, & Fund Borrowings.

7.1          Cash Deposits. During the term of this Agreement, the Fund will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian all moneys to be held by the Custodian for the account of any Fund. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7, the Fund hereby authorizes the Custodian to open and maintain, with itself or with Sub-custodians, Cash accounts in United States Dollars, in such other currencies as are the currencies of the countries in which the Fund maintains Investments or in such other currencies as the Fund shall from time to time request by Written Instruction, as further set forth in Section 5.1. The Custodian may elect to credit the Accounts with interest or dividend payments in anticipation of receiving such payments from another agent, if practicable and provided its provisional credit service is offered in the particular market and for that type of security. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to contrary effect, the Fund shall be liable as principal for any overdrafts occurring in any Cash accounts. Custodian shall be entitled to reverse any deposits made on the Fund’s or any Fund’s behalf where such deposits have been entered and moneys are not finally collected within a reasonable period of time of the making of such entry or the corresponding payment differed from the amount credited to the Account. Otherwise, interest and dividend payments from Investments will be credited only after actual receipt by Xxxxxxxxx and reconciliation.

7.1.1 Types of Accounts. Cash accounts opened on the books of the Custodian (Principal Accounts) shall be opened in the name of the Fund, coupled with the name of such Fund. Custodian shall hold all Cash received by it for the account of any Fund in accordance with Rule 17f-3 under the 1940 Act. Such accounts collectively shall be a deposit obligation of the Custodian and shall be subject to the terms of this Section 7 and the general liability provisions contained in this Agreement. Cash accounts opened on the books of a Sub-custodian may be opened in the name of any Fund or the Sub-custodian or in the name of its Sub-custodian for its customers generally (Agency Accounts). Such deposits shall be obligations of the Sub-custodian and shall be treated as an Investment of the Fund. Accordingly, the Custodian shall be responsible for exercising reasonable care in the administration of such accounts but shall not be liable for their repayment in the event such Sub-custodian by reason of its bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise, fails to make repayment through no fault of the Custodian.

7.1.2 Administrative Accounts. In connection with the services provided hereunder, the Custodian is hereby directed to open Cash accounts on its books and records from time to time for the purposes of receiving subscriptions and/or processing redemptions on behalf of each Fund, and/or for the purposes of aggregating, netting and/or clearing transactions (including, without limitation foreign exchange, repurchase agreements, capital stock activity, expense payment) or other administrative purposes, each on behalf of the Fund. Each such account shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such Fund(s) shall be liable for the satisfaction of its own obligations in connection with each such account.

7.2          Payments and Credits with Respect to the Cash Accounts. The Custodian shall make payments from or deposits to any of the Cash accounts in the course of carrying out its administrative duties, including but not limited to income collection with respect to Investments, and otherwise in accordance with Instructions. The Custodian and its Sub-custodians shall be required to credit amounts to the Cash accounts only when moneys are actually received in cleared funds in accordance with banking practice in the country and currency of deposit. Any credit made to any Principal or Agency Account or any other Fund account before actual receipt of cleared funds shall be provisional and may be reversed by the Custodian or its Sub-custodian in the event such payment is not actually collected. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Custodian or any Sub-custodian, all deposits shall be payable only at the office of the Custodian or Sub-custodian where the deposit is made or carried.

7.3 Currency and Related Risks. Each Fund bears risks of holding or transacting in any currency, including any mark to market exposure associated with a foreign exchange transaction undertaken with or through the Custodian. Neither the Custodian nor any Sub-custodian shall be liable for any loss or damage arising from the applicability of any law or regulation now or hereafter in effect, or from the occurrence of any event, which may delay or affect the transferability, convertibility or availability of any currency in the country (a) in which such Principal or Agency Accounts are maintained or (b) in which such currency is issued, and in no event shall the Custodian or any Sub-custodian be obligated to make payment of a deposit denominated in a currency during the period during which its transferability, convertibility or availability has been affected by any such law, regulation or event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Custodian nor any Sub-custodian shall be required to repay any deposit made at a foreign branch of either the Custodian or any Sub-custodian if such branch cannot repay the deposit due to a cause for which the Custodian would not be responsible in accordance with the terms of Section 9 of this Agreement unless the Custodian or such Sub-custodian expressly agrees in writing to repay the deposit under such circumstances. All currency transactions in any account opened pursuant to this Agreement are subject to exchange control regulations of the United States and of the country where such currency is the lawful currency or where the account is maintained. Any taxes, costs, charges or fees imposed on the convertibility of a currency held by the Fund shall be for the account of a Fund.

7.4 Foreign Exchange Transactions. The Custodian shall, subject to the terms of this Section 7.4, settle foreign exchange transactions (including contracts, futures, options and options on futures) on behalf and for the account of a Fund with such currency brokers or banking institutions, including Sub-custodians, as the Fund may direct pursuant to Written Instructions. The obligations of the Custodian in respect of all foreign exchange transactions shall be contingent on the free, unencumbered transferability of the currency transacted on the actual settlement date of the transaction.

7.4.1 Third Party Foreign Exchange Transactions. The Custodian shall process foreign exchange transactions (including without limitation contracts, futures, options, and options on futures), where any third party acts as principal counterparty to a Fund on the same basis, if any, that it performs duties as agent for the Fund with respect to any other of the Fund’s investments. Accordingly, the Custodian shall only be responsible for delivering or receiving currency on behalf of the Fund in respect of such contracts pursuant to Written Instructions. The Custodian shall not be responsible for the failure of any counterparty (including any Sub-custodian) in such agency transaction to perform its obligations thereunder. The Custodian (a) shall transmit Cash and Written Instructions to and from the currency broker or banking institution with which a foreign exchange contract or option has been executed pursuant hereto, (b) may make free outgoing payments of Cash in the form of Dollars or foreign currency without receiving confirmation of a foreign exchange contract or option or confirmation that the countervalue currency completing the foreign exchange contract has been delivered or received or that the option has been delivered or received, (c) may, in connection with Cash payments made to third party currency broker/dealers for settlement of a Fund’s foreign exchange spot or forward transactions, foreign exchange swap transactions and similar foreign exchange transactions, process settlements using the banking facilities selected by the Custodian from time to time according to such banking facilities standard terms, and (d) shall hold all confirmations, certificates and other documents and agreements received by the Custodian and evidencing or relating to such foreign exchange transactions in safekeeping. Each Fund accepts full responsibility for its use of third-party foreign exchange dealers and for execution of said foreign exchange contracts and options and understands that the Fund shall be responsible for any and all costs and interest charges which may be incurred by the Fund or the Custodian as a result of the failure or delay of third parties to deliver foreign exchange. Each Fund shall be responsible for any and all costs, expenses, charges or shortfalls which may be incurred as a result of any foreign exchange transaction performed in connection with any Advance or payment of any interest or dividend credited to the account of the Fund or the reversal thereof.

7.5 Delays. If no event of Force Majeure shall have occurred and be continuing and in the event that a delay shall have been caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian in carrying out an Instruction to credit or transfer Cash, the Custodian shall be liable to each affected Fund: (a) with respect to Principal Accounts, for interest to be calculated at the rate customarily paid on such deposit and currency by the Custodian on overnight deposits at the time the delay occurs for the period from the day when the transfer should have been effected until the day it is in fact effected; and, (b) with respect to Agency Accounts, for interest to be calculated at the rate customarily paid on such deposit and currency by the Sub-custodian on overnight deposits at the time the delay occurs for the period from the day when the transfer should have been effected until the day it is in fact effected. The Custodian shall not be liable for delays in carrying out such Instructions to transfer Cash which are not due to the Custodian’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

7.6         Advances. With respect to any advances of Cash made by the Custodian to or for the benefit of a Fund for any purpose which results in the Fund incurring an overdraft at the end of any Business Day, such advance shall be repayable immediately upon demand made by the Custodian at any time. The Custodian may, in its sole discretion, charge interest accruing from the date of such overdraft to but not including the date of such repayment at the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points and otherwise on the terms on which the Custodian makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. In addition, the Custodian shall have an automatically perfected statutory security interest in any Investments purchased with any such unpaid Advance pursuant to Section 9-206 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Ohio from time to time and that the Custodian may take any further actions that the Custodian may reasonably require to collect such unpaid Advance. In addition, for purposes hereof, deposits maintained in all Principal Accounts (whether or not denominated in Dollars) shall collectively constitute a single and indivisible current account with respect to a Fund’s obligations to the Custodian for any unpaid Advances, and balances in such Principal Accounts shall be available for satisfaction of the Fund’s obligations under this Section 7. The Custodian shall further have a right of offset against the balances in any Agency Account maintained hereunder to the extent that the aggregate of all Principal Accounts is overdrawn.

7.7          Borrowings. In connection with any borrowings by a Fund, the Fund will cause to be delivered to the Custodian by a bank or broker requiring securities as collateral for such borrowings (including the Custodian if the borrowing is from the Custodian), a notice or undertaking in the form currently employed by such bank or broker setting forth the amount of collateral. The Fund shall promptly deliver to the Custodian Written Instructions specifying with respect to each such borrowing: (a) the name of the bank or broker, (b) the amount and terms of the borrowing, which may be set forth by incorporating by reference an attached promissory note duly endorsed by the Fund, or a loan agreement, (c) the date, and time if known, on which the loan is to be entered into, (d) the date on which the loan becomes due and payable, (e) the total amount payable to the Fund on the borrowing date, and (f) the description of the securities securing the loan, including the name of the issuer, the title and the number of shares or other units or the principal amount. The Custodian shall deliver or segregate or otherwise identify on its books on the borrowing date specified in the Written Instructions the required collateral against the lender’s delivery of the total loan amount then payable, provided that the same conforms to that which is described in the Written Instructions. The Custodian shall deliver or segregate or otherwise identify on its books, in the manner directed by the Fund, such securities as additional collateral, as may be specified in Written Instructions, to secure further any borrowing transaction. The Fund shall cause all securities released from collateral status to be returned directly to the Custodian and the Custodian shall receive from time to time such return of collateral as may be tendered to it.

8.          Domestic Sub-custodians; Securities Depositories. Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Section 8, the Fund hereby authorizes the Custodian to utilize Securities Depositories to act on behalf of the Fund(s) and to appoint from time to time (and at any time remove) and to utilize agents (Agents) and sub-custodians (“Sub-custodians”) to carry out some or all of the duties and obligations of the Custodian under this Agreement provided, however, that the appointment of such agents and Sub-custodians shall not relieve the Custodian of its administrative obligations under this Agreement. With respect to securities and Cash held by a Sub-custodian, either directly or indirectly (including by a Securities Depository), notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, payment for securities purchased and delivery of securities sold may be made prior to receipt of securities or payment, respectively, and securities or payment may be received in a form, in accordance with (a) governmental regulations, (b) rules of Securities Depositories and Clearing Corporations, (c) generally accepted trade practice in the applicable local market, (d) the terms and characteristics of the particular Investment, or (e) the terms of Written Instructions. The Funds shall reimburse the Custodian for all costs incurred by the Custodian in connection with opening accounts with any such Agents or Sub-custodians. Upon request, the Custodian shall promptly forward to the Fund any documents it receives from any Agent or Sub-custodian appointed hereunder which may assist the Board of Trustees of the Fund to fulfill its responsibilities under Rule 17f-5 under the 1940 Act.

8.1         Domestic Sub-custodians and Securities Depositories. The Custodian may deposit and/or maintain, either directly or through one or more Agents appointed by the Custodian, Investments of the Funds in any Securities Depository in the United States, including The Depository Trust Fund, provided such Securities Depository meets applicable requirements of the Federal Reserve Bank or of the SEC. The Custodian may, at any time, appoint any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to act on behalf of the Fund or the Funds as a Sub-custodian for purposes of holding Investments of the Fund in the United States.

8.2         Responsibility for Sub-custodians. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 8.2, the Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for any loss or damage to the Fund caused by or resulting from the acts or omissions of any Sub-custodian to the extent that such acts or omissions would be deemed to be negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct in accordance with the terms of the relevant Sub-custodian agreement under the laws, circumstances and practices prevailing in the place where the act or omission occurred. The liability of the Custodian in respect of the countries and Sub-custodians so designated by the Custodian, from time to time shall be subject to the additional condition that the Custodian actually recovers such loss or damage from the Sub-custodian.

Responsibility of the Custodian.

9.1 Limitations on Liability of the Custodian. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Custodian shall not be liable for any loss or damage, including counsel fees, resulting from its action or omission to act or otherwise, except for any such loss or damage directly arising out of its negligence or willful misconduct. The Fund, on behalf of each Fund and only from assets of each such Fund (or insurance purchased by the Fund with respect to its liabilities on behalf of the Fund hereunder), shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian and its directors, officers, nominees, employees and agents with respect to any loss, claim, fine, penalty, damage, expense, liability or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which the Custodian, its directors, officers, nominees, employees or agents may at any time sustain or incur as a result of this Agreement or arising or alleged to arise from or relating to the Fund’s duties hereunder or any other action or inaction of the Fund or its Trustees, officers, employees or agents, except such as may directly arise from the negligent action, negligent omission, willful misconduct or any material breach of this Agreement by the Custodian, its directors, officers, nominees, employees or agents, provided, however, the Fund shall not in any event be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. The Custodian shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and its Trustees, officers, employees or agents with respect to any loss, claim, liability or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or alleged to arise from actual losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Fund directly resulting from any negligent action taken or omission or willful misconduct by the Custodian in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or a material breach of any of the Custodian’s duties as specifically set forth in this Agreement, except such as may arise from the negligent action, omission or willful misconduct of the Fund, its Trustees, officers, employees, or agents, provided, further, however, that the Custodian shall not in any event be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. The Custodian may, with respect to questions of law apply for and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to the Fund at the expense of the Fund, or of its own counsel at its own expense, and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with the advice or opinion of counsel to the Fund, and shall be similarly protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with advice or opinion of its counsel, unless counsel to the Fund shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of legal advice received by the Custodian, have a differing interpretation of such question of law. The Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for any proximate loss or damage resulting from the use of the Book-Entry System or any Depository arising by reason of any negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian or any of its employees, agents, nominees or Sub-Custodians, but not for any special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude recovery by the Fund, on behalf of the Fund, of principal and of interest to the date of recovery on Investments incorrectly omitted from the Fund’s account or penalties imposed on the Fund, in connection with the Fund, for any failures to deliver Securities. In any case in which one party hereto may be asked to indemnify the other or hold the other harmless, the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and the party claiming a right to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will use reasonable care to identify and notify the Indemnifying Party promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears to present a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the option to defend the Indemnified Party against any claim which may be the subject of the indemnification, and in the event the Indemnifying Party so elects, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will so notify the Indemnified Party and thereupon such Indemnifying Party shall take over the complete defense of the claim and the Indemnifying Party shall sustain no further legal or other expenses in such situation for which indemnification has been sought under this paragraph, except the reasonable expenses of any additional counsel retained by the Indemnified Party. In no case shall any party claiming the right to indemnification confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party has been asked to indemnify such party (unless such confession or compromise is made with such other party’s prior written consent). The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.2 Specific Actions Not Required by the Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian, acting in the capacity of custodian hereunder, shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for:

The validity of the issue of any Securities purchased by or for the account of the Fund, the legality of the purchase thereof, or the propriety of the amount paid therefor;
