loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable expenses for counsel,
incurred by it resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection
with any action or omission by it in the performance of its duties hereunder,
or as a result of acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to

indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of AMT Capital, its
officers or employees in cases of its or their own negligence or misconduct or
the violation by any of such persons of this Agreement.
C. The Fund will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the
defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any liability subject to the indemnification provided above, and if the

chosen by the Fund. In the event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any
such suit and retain such counsel, AMT Capital or any of its affiliated
persons, named as defendant or defendants in the suit, may retain additional
counsel at its or their own expense, except that, if the Fund shall have
specifically authorized the retaining of such counsel, then the reasonable
expenses for such counsel shall be reimbursed by the Fund.

the investment adviser to the Fund when so requested by the adviser or the
