i. | promptly notifying the Investment Adviser in the event that the Fund Manager reasonably determines that the value of any holding of the Fund does not appear to reflect fair market value; where a market quotation is not readily available or reasonably is deemed to be unreliable by the Fund Manager; or otherwise where such holding requires a review to determine if a fair valuation is necessary (each, a “Fair Valuation Event”).

ii. | verifying pricing and providing fair valuations or recommendations for fair valuations to the Investment Adviser as a result of a Fair Valuation Event, on the same day at approximately the same time that the Fund Manager first takes such actions for any other account(s) managed by the Fund Manager; |
iii. | designating and providing timely access on an as-needed basis and upon the reasonable request of the Investment Adviser or custodian, to one or more employees of the Fund Manager who are knowledgeable about the security/issuer, its financial condition, trading and/or other relevant factors for valuation, which employees shall be available for consultation when the Investment Adviser’s or the Board’s Valuation Committees convene due to a Fair Valuation Event; |
iv. | upon the reasonable request of the Investment Adviser or custodian, assisting in obtaining bids and offers or quotes from broker/dealers or market-makers with respect to securities held by the Fund; and |
