Schedule 1

Rectification Procedures

In case of any over-purchase of PRC Securities where the balance of the RMB Special Account is not sufficient to pay for the net settlement amount payable by the Bank on the same Trading Day, the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, and the Bank agree to deal with such over-purchase in accordance with the following provisions:

	(a)		in the event that either of the foregoing parties discovers that there has been an over-purchase of PRC Securities, it shall inform the other party, the Global Custodian and the relevant PRC Broker of the same at the earliest possible opportunity so as to ascertain which party is liable for the error of over-purchase as soon as possible;

	(b)		the Bank shall report the over-purchase to the CSRC and CSDCC at the earliest possible opportunity;

	(c)		in the event that the over-purchase of PRC Securities is caused by an error of the Bank, the Bank shall assume liability for delivery and settlement in respect of the over-purchased PRC Securities pursuant to the provisions of the QFII Securities Transactions Notice and shall be entitled to dispose of and retain the earnings of the over-purchased PRC Securities. The Bank may appoint a broker to dispose of the over-purchased PRC Securities. The Bank shall bear any transfer fee, stamp duty or any other costs, charges or interest in connection with such over-purchase;

	(d)		in the event that the over-purchase of PRC Securities is caused by an error of a PRC Broker, the Bank and the relevant PRC Broker shall go through the procedures for a non-trading transfer of the over-purchased PRC Securities with CSDCC by such prescribed or agreed deadline not later than the next following Trading Day (“T+1 Day”) so as to transfer the over-purchased PRC Securities to such PRC Broker and to allow the transfer by CSDCC of the funds with an amount equivalent to the value of the over-purchased PRC Securities from the clearing reserve account of the relevant PRC Broker to the clearing reserve account of the Bank. The relevant PRC Broker shall bear any transfer fee, stamp duty or any other costs, charges or interest in connection with such over-purchase;

	(e)		in the event that the over-purchase of PRC Securities is caused by an error of the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, the procedures set out in subparagraph 1(d) above will be followed. The QFII Applicant in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, and the Bank each acknowledge that a PRC Broker shall be required to dispose of the over-purchased PRC Securities on the instructions of the QFII Applicant on behalf of the Funds. If the proceeds obtained after the disposal of the over-purchased PRC Securities are insufficient to cover the over-purchased amount and the relevant expenses in full, the QFII Applicant in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, shall bear the shortfall and make payment to the relevant PRC Broker;

	(f)		if, by 12:00 pm (PRC time) on T+1 Day, the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, the Bank and the relevant PRC Broker fail to determine the reasons for such over-purchase of PRC Securities or fail to ascertain the party who is liable for the error of over-purchase, the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, and the Bank agree that such PRC Broker shall be the party responsible for undertaking delivery and accepting responsibility to CSDCC with respect to the over-purchase of PRC Securities for whatever reason in accordance with the provisions of the QFII Securities Transactions Notice;

	(g)		if, prior to 12:00 pm (PRC time) on T+3 Day, the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, the Bank and the relevant PRC Broker still cannot determine the party responsible for the over-purchased order, any income or gains from the disposal of the over-purchased PRC Securities in question shall be used to set off against any costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such PRC Broker for effecting delivery of the over-purchased PRC Securities in accordance with paragraph (f) above. Any surplus income or gains after such set off will be shared equally between the QFII Applicant in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, and such PRC Broker. However, if the income or gains are insufficient to cover the costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the relevant PRC Broker in effecting delivery of the over-purchased PRC Securities, the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, and such PRC Broker shall share such costs, fees and expenses equally. If, at any time, a party is determined to be the ultimate responsible party for the over-purchased order, such party shall immediately pay to the other party the amount the other party had paid in sharing the costs, fees, and expenses, or the first party shall pay any income or gains it previously received to such party, as the case may be.

2.		The QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, shall provide and shall use reasonable endeavors to request the relevant PRC Broker to provide all information, relevant documents or reports in a timely manner to allow sufficient time for the Bank to make any application for a non-trade transfer as mentioned in Paragraph 1 above within such time limit as is prescribed by the QFII Securities Transactions Notice.

3.		The QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII, the Funds and the Bank each acknowledge that in the case of an over-purchase of PRC Securities, whether due to the fault of the QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, a PRC Broker or the Bank, and/or if the Bank or the relevant PRC Broker fails to assume the responsibilities for delivery and acceptance of the over-purchased PRC Securities in accordance with sub-paragraphs 1(c), (d), (e) and (f) above or otherwise as provided in the QFII Securities Transactions Notice, CSDCC shall have the right to retain and/or sell any PRC Securities credited to the Securities Account in accordance with the provisions of the QFII Securities Transactions Notice, as may be amended from time to time.

4.		The QFII Applicant, in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, and the Bank each further acknowledges that in the event that there is a short sale of PRC Securities executed by the relevant PRC Broker on behalf of the QFII Applicant in its capacity as the QFII and on behalf of the Funds, for any given Securities Accounts, the CSDCC is entitled to retain the proceeds of the
