(1) PFPC will input the following information into its system and transmit it
to Fidelity via Electronic Data Transfer by no later than 7:00 p.m. ET each
Business Day: (1) the confirmed net asset value for each Fund at the Close of
Trading, (2) the change in each Fund's net asset value from the Close of
Trading on the prior Business Day, (3) in the case of Funds which pay a daily
dividend, the latest daily accrual for interest rate factor ("mil rate") and
the change in the mil rate from the Close of Trading on the prior Business Day,
and (4) on ex dividend date, if applicable, dividend and capital gain

(2) In the event that PFPC is unable to update its system prior to 7:00 p.m. ET
on a particular Business Day, PFPC will call Fidelity via telephone, at
000-000-0000, and will then endeavor to send the Price Information via fax, in
Fidelity's format, to 000-000-0000 (primary fax machine) or 000-000-0000
(back-up fax machine), or other numbers as Fidelity may designate in writing to
PFPC from time to time, by no later than 7:00 p.m. ET.
(3) DFA has directed Fidelity to, upon receipt of the faxed Price Information,
contact PFPC by telephone in order to verbally confirm each individual Fund's
net asset value and the relevant pricing date. If PFPC sent Price Information
via fax and PFPC does not receive such contact from Fidelity by 7:00 p.m. ET
confirming the receipt of the fax, then PFPC must call Fidelity by 7:00 p.m. ET.
(4) In the event that a fax machine is unavailable to either PFPC or Fidelity
prior to 7:00 p.m., PFPC shall provide Fidelity with the Price Information via
a telephone call, and shall confirm such information via fax, as soon as
practicable. Fidelity shall document the Price Information received by
telephone, referencing PFPC's employee name, date and time.
(5) In the event that a net asset value for a Fund cannot be determined prior
to 6:45 p.m. ET, PFPC shall attempt to contact the CFO (currently, Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx), the Vice President in charge of Institutional Sales (currently,
Xxxxxx Xxxxx) and/or the Vice President who is in charge of client purchases or
redemptions (currently, Xxxx Xxxxxxx) to determine the net asset value(s) to
transmit to Fidelity via the methods outlined above. PFPC is entitled to rely
on the net asset value(s) provided by any one of the foregoing individuals
without contacting the remaining individuals. If PFPC cannot reach any of such
personnel prior to the deadline to transmit such instruction to Fidelity, PFPC
shall transmit to Fidelity by 7:00 p.m. E.T. the net asset value from the prior
trading day for such Fund.
