The Selling Agent has taken all reasonable steps to assure itself that, and represents that to the best of its knowledge, subscribers introduced to the Fund(s) by the Selling Agent are not individuals, entities or countries that may subject the Fund(s) or the General Partner to criminal or civil violations of any anti-money laundering/OFAC laws. The Selling Agent understands that the Fund(s) and General Partner are relying on the Selling Agent to perform anti-money laundering requirements with respect to Units offered and agrees to promptly notify the Fund(s) and the General Partner with respect to any subscriber introduced by the Selling Agent should the Selling Agent become aware that investment in the Fund(s) by such subscriber would cause a change to the representations and warranties set forth herein. The Selling Agent agrees to provide the AML Certification (attached as Exhibit C), or a form acceptable to the General Partner and the Fund(s), upon execution of this Agreement and periodically thereafter.

(vii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Selling Agent, and is, assuming that it has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the other parties hereto (other than the Selling Agent), a valid and binding agreement of the Selling Agent and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

In no event shall any such omission relieve an indemnifying party of any liability which it may have to an

indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10.

An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent.

(f) The exculpation provisions of the Advisory Agreement or the formation documents shall not relieve the General Partner or its principals from any liability they may have or incur to the Fund(s) under this Agreement.

(g) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any action, shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
