(h) The Administrator agrees to make available to the Trust a person acceptable to the Trust to serve as the Fund’s secretary (the “Secretary”).

Accordingly, the Fund’s governing documents shall contain mandatory indemnification provisions that are applicable to the Secretary that are intended to have the effect of fully indemnifying him or her and holding him or her harmless with respect to any claims, liabilities and costs arising out of or relating to his or her service in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Fund, except to the extent he or she would otherwise be liable to the Fund or its Investors by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. The Fund shall provide coverage to the Secretary under its directors and officers liability policy that is appropriate to the Secretary’s role and title and consistent with coverage applicable to the other officers holding positions of executive management. The Secretary shall have the discretion to resign from his or her position in the event that he or she reasonably determines that there has been or is likely to be (i) an ongoing pattern of conduct involving continuous or repeated violations of the 1940 Act and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, or (ii) a material deviation by the Trust from the terms of this Agreement that is not caused by the Secretary or the Administrator. The Secretary may resign from his or her position in the event that he or she determines that he or she has not received sufficient cooperation from the Fund. As long as the Secretary acts in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Fund, and would not otherwise be liable to the Fund by reason of his or her willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties, the Fund shall indemnify the Secretary and the Administrator, hold the Secretary and the Administrator harmless from any loss, liability, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s attorneys fees) and damages incurred by them arising out of or related to the service of such employee of the Administrator as the Secretary.
