MATERIAL INTERESTS. The Local Manager and any of its affiliates (an "Affiliate") may, subject to the limitations of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to the overriding principles of suitability and best execution and without prior reference to the Investment Adviser, effect transactions in which the Local Manager or Affiliate has, directly or indirectly, a material interest or a relationship of any description with another party, which may involve a potential conflict with the Local Manager's duty to the Investment Adviser. Neither the Local Manager nor any Affiliate shall be liable to account to the Investment Adviser for any profit, commission or remuneration made or received from or by reason of such transactions or any connected transactions nor will the Local Manager's fees, unless otherwise provided, be abated. For example, such potential conflicting interests or duties may arise because: (i) the Local Manager or any Affiliate performing investment management or other services for any person or entity other than the Investment Adviser or from making investments on their own behalf and the performance of such services for others or investment on their own behalf will not be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to the Investment Adviser; or (ii) the Local Manager effecting any transaction with or for the Investment Adviser with an Affiliate; or (iii) such Affiliate acting both as market-maker and broker, principal or agent, dealing with other Affiliates and other clients and generally effecting transactions as provided above nor from retaining any remuneration received in respect thereof.
