The Manager further acknowledges that one or more Associates of the Investment Advisor and their members, directors, officers or employees may from time to time act as an investment manager.

Subject always to the applicable rules and regulations, the Investment Advisor or any of its Associates or any person connected with the Investment Advisor may invest in, directly or indirectly, or manage or advise other investment funds or accounts which invest in assets which may also be purchased or sold by the Manager or the Company. None of the Investment Advisor, any of its Associates or any person connected with them is under any obligation to offer investment opportunities of which any of them becomes aware to the Manager or the Company or to account to the Manager or the Company in respect of (or share with the Manager or the Company or inform the Manager or the Company of) any such transaction or any benefit received by any of them from any such transaction, but will allocate such opportunities on an equitable basis between the Company and other clients.

15.4

Subject always to the applicable rules and regulations, the Investment Advisor will not, and will procure that any Associate of the Investment Advisor will not, deal as principal or agent with the Company except where dealings are carried out as if effected on normal commercial terms negotiated on an arm’s length basis and provided also that:

(A)

the Investment Advisor and any of its Associates may buy, hold and deal in any Investments upon its individual account notwithstanding that similar Investments may be held by the Manager or the Company and without prior reference to the Manager or the Company; and

(B)

nothing herein contained shall prevent the Investment Advisor or any of its Associates, whether as principal or agent without prior reference to the Manager or the Company from contracting or entering into any financial or other transaction with any member, partner and/or director of the Manager or the Company, or with any company or body any of whose shares or securities are held by or for the account of the Investment Advisor, the Manager or the Company or from being interested in any such contract or transaction.

15.5

For the avoidance of doubt, the Investment Advisor and any of its members, officers, employees or their related entities may invest in the Company through the direct or indirect acquisition of Shares.

15.6

The parties hereto acknowledge that:

(A)

directors, members, officers, agents and shareholders of the Manager and/or the Company are or may be interested in the Investment Advisor as members, officers, employees or otherwise, and that members, directors, officers, and agents of the Investment Advisor and its Associates are or may be interested in the Manager or the Company as directors, officers, members, shareholders or otherwise;

(B)

no person so interested shall be liable to account for any benefit to the other parties by reason solely of such interest; and

(C)

the services being supplied by the Investment Advisor or any of its Associates hereunder or otherwise may at the option of the Investment Advisor or such Associate be supplied through directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees or agents who are so interested.

Market Rules

17.1

All transactions in Investments shall be subject to the rules and customs of the exchange or market and/or any clearing house through which the transactions are executed (if any), so far as they are applicable, and to any applicable law, rules or regulations. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and any such rules, customs or applicable law, the latter shall prevail.

18.

No License

18.1

Each of the parties hereto acknowledge for the benefit of each other that:

(A)

no provision of this Agreement grants either of them any rights, except as contained herein, in any intellectual property belonging to or developed by the other party; and

(B)

this Agreement does not constitute a license in respect of any such intellectual property.

19.

Confidentiality

19.1

The parties shall at all times respect and protect the confidentiality of information acquired in consequence of this Agreement except pursuant to any right or obligation to or by which the relevant party may be entitled or bound to disclose information or under compulsion of law or pursuant to the requirements of competent regulatory authorities.

Nothing in this Clause 19 shall prevent the disclosure of information by any party to its auditors, legal or other professional advisers in the proper performance of their duties.

(C)

the potential investors of the Company to the extent that the information to be disclosed pertains to the gross and net exposure numbers, liquidity and risk profiles and past performance of the relevant Company and that no information pertaining to individual investment positions shall be disclosed without the prior consent by the Investment Advisor.

In relation to the above, the Company has agreed under the Investment Management Agreement to take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that such information remains confidential between the parties concerned and that no such information is used for activities competing with the trading activities of the Manager or the Investment Advisor.

19.3

Neither the Investment Advisor nor any of their principals, employees, affiliates or agents shall use, publish, circulate or distribute any material in relation to the Company nor shall any of the foregoing parties engage in any marketing, sales or promotional activities in connection with the offering of shares in the Company.

19.4

None of the parties hereto shall do or commit any act, matter or thing which would or might prejudice or bring into disrepute in any manner the business or reputation of another party or any director or partner of such party.
