Independent Advice Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, except as set forth in this Agreement, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
Investment Advice If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may include written and oral reports and analyses.

This confidentiality provision will terminate eighteen months from the date first written above.
INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE At any time, State Street may apply to any officer of the Trust for instructions and may consult with its own legal counsel with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by State Street under the terms of this Agreement. At any time, State Street may consult with outside counsel for the Trust or the independent accountants for the Trust (“Trust Advisers”) at the expense of the Trust, provided that State Street first obtains consent of the Trust which shall not be unreasonably withheld, with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by State Street under the terms of this Agreement. In its capacity as the Financial Administrator or as the Accounting Agent under the terms of this Agreement, State Street shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Trust or appropriate Portfolio for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith reliance upon any instructions or advice provided to State Street by a Trust Adviser or upon any paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons. State Street shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Trust. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as imposing upon State Street any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received.
Treatment of Investment Advice The Trust shall treat the investment advice and recommendations of JCM as being advisory only, and shall retain full control over its own investment policies. However, the Trustees may delegate to the appropriate officers of the Trust, or to a committee of the Trustees, the power to authorize purchases, sales or other actions affecting the portfolio of the Fund in the interim between meetings of the Trustees.
