Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, each is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Each party hereto hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Shares and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 6 hereof, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.
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.

Each Partner is fully aware that each Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this special power of attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership.
(c) The power of attorney contemplated by this Section 8.2 is a special power of attorney and is coupled with an interest in favor of the General Partner and each of the Directors, acting severally, and any liquidator of the Partnership’s assets appointed under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, and as such the power of attorney:

(2) will survive the delivery of a Transfer by a Partner of the Partner’s Units, except that, when the transferee of Units has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Partner, the power of attorney given by the transferor will survive the delivery of the assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner, the Directors or any liquidator to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect the substitution.
