The Manager confirms that any limitations on the authority of the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Fund to enter into transactions involving Derivatives, to negotiate, execute and deliver agreements or other documentation with respect thereto, or to perform any of the activities on behalf of the Fund of a nature described above will be provided to the Sub-Adviser in writing or are set forth the Registration Statement, other public filings with the SEC and the Fund’s investment guidelines. The Manager represents, warrants and covenants that it has full capacity, power and authority to enter into, carry out and perform its obligations arising in respect of all Derivatives and to authorize the Sub-Adviser to perform the activities on behalf of the Fund of a nature described above, and acknowledges and agrees that the Sub-Adviser will rely on this representation, warranty and covenant in doing so. The Manager agrees and covenants that the Sub-Adviser will have no liability to the Manager or the Fund, or any person claiming through, or on behalf of the Fund, or by right of the Fund, or any other person, arising from the fact that the Fund lacked the full capacity, power and authority to enter into, carry out and perform its obligations arising in respect of all Derivatives or to grant the authority purported to be granted to the Manager set forth in this Agreement, and the Manager agrees to hold the Sub-Adviser harmless against all losses which may be incurred by the Sub-Adviser in connection with a claim made against the Sub-Adviser by a counterparty as a result of the Fund lacking such capacity, power and authority.
