LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY The Adviser hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser as the Trust’s agent and attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of executing account documentation, agreements, contracts and other documents on behalf of the Portfolio(s), as the Sub-Adviser shall be requested by brokers, dealers or other intermediaries, counterparties and other persons or entities in connection with the services provided by it hereunder. The Adviser, on behalf of the Trust, hereby ratifies and confirms as good and effectual, at law or in equity, all that the Sub-Adviser, and its officers and employees, may do in the capacity as attorney-in-fact. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as imposing a duty on the Sub-Adviser, or its officers and employees, to act on or assume responsibility for any matters in its capacity as attorney-in-fact. Any person dealing with the Sub-Adviser in its capacity as attorney-in-fact hereunder is hereby expressly put on notice that the Sub-Adviser is acting solely in the capacity as an agent of the Trust, that the Trust’s certificate of trust is on file with the Delaware Secretary of State and that the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series of the Trust are enforceable against the assets of such series only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally, or any other series thereof. The Sub-Adviser assumes no personal liability whatsoever for obligations of the Portfolio(s) entered into by the Sub-Adviser in its capacity as attorney-in-fact. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4 is intended to obviate any liability of the Sub-Adviser under this Agreement to the extent contemplated in Section 6.A. If requested by the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser agrees to have the Trust execute and deliver to the Sub-Adviser a separate form of Limited Power of Attorney in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Sub-Adviser.

Any such vote shall be cast or consent shall be given in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent. Shareholder agrees not to enter into any agreement or commitment with any Person the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Article I. This proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of Shareholder under this Agreement.
