The Investment Adviser will follow such Code of Ethics in performing its services under this Agreement.
(4) The Investment Adviser will manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as adopted by the Fund from time to time. The Investment Adviser also will manage the investments of the Fund in a manner consistent with any and all applicable investment restrictions (including diversification requirements) contained in the 1940 Act and the rules under the 1940 Act, any SEC order issued to the Fund, and any applicable state securities law or regulation.

3. Information and Reports
(a) The Investment Adviser will keep the Fund informed of developments relating to the Investment Adviser’s duties as investment adviser of which the Investment Adviser has, or should have, knowledge that would materially affect the Fund. In this regard, the Investment Adviser will provide the Fund and its officers with such periodic reports concerning the obligations the Investment Adviser has assumed under this Agreement as the Fund may from time to time reasonably request. The Investment Adviser will certify quarterly to the Fund that it and its “Advisory Persons” (as defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 0000 Xxx) have complied materially with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 during the previous quarter or, if not, explain what the Investment Adviser has done to seek to ensure such compliance in the future. The Investment Adviser will annually furnish to the Fund a written report, which complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1, concerning the Investment Adviser’s Code of Ethics. Upon written request of the Fund with respect to violations of the Code of Ethics directly affecting the Fund, the Investment Adviser will permit representatives of the Fund to examine reports (or summaries of the reports) required to be made by Rule 17j-1(d)(1) relating to enforcement of the Code of Ethics.
(b) The Investment Adviser will provide the Fund with any information reasonably requested regarding the Investment Adviser’s management of the Fund required for any shareholder report or amended registration statement to be filed by the Fund with the SEC.

4. Standard of Care
The Investment Adviser will exercise its best judgment, act in good faith, use reasonable care and act in a manner consistent with applicable federal and state laws and regulations in
4
rendering the services it agrees to provide under this Agreement. The Investment Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the management of the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. As used in this Section 4, the term “Investment Adviser” will include any affiliates of the Investment Adviser performing services for the Fund contemplated by this Agreement and principals, officers and employees of the Investment Adviser and of such affiliates.
5. Investment Adviser’s Duties Regarding Fund Transactions
(a) Placement of Orders. The Investment Adviser will take all actions that it considers necessary to implement the investment policies of the Fund, and, in particular, to place all orders for the purchase or sale of securities or other investments for the Fund with brokers or dealers the Investment Adviser, in its sole discretion, selects. To that end, the Investment Adviser is authorized as the Fund’s agent to give instructions to the Fund’s custodian as to deliveries of securities or other investments and payments of cash for the Fund’s account. In connection with the selection of brokers or dealers and the placement of purchase and sale orders, the Investment Adviser is subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees and is directed at all times to seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Board of Trustees, as may be amended from time to time, and is subject to provisions (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 5.
(b) Selection of Brokers and Dealers. To the extent permitted by the policy guidelines adopted by the Fund, in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, the Investment Adviser is authorized to consider not only the available prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors, which may include, without limitation: the execution capabilities of the brokers and dealers; the research, custody, and other services provided by the brokers and dealers that the Investment Adviser believes will enhance its general portfolio management capabilities; the size of the transaction; the difficulty of execution; the operational facilities of these brokers and dealers; the risk to a broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities; and the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by the brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, the Investment Adviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services to the Investment Adviser a higher commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Investment Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the services in terms of either the particular transaction or in terms of the Investment Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to any other client accounts or portfolios that the Investment Adviser advises.
(c) Soft Dollar Arrangements. On an ongoing basis, but not less often than annually, the Investment Adviser will identify and provide a written description to the Board of Trustees of all “soft dollar” arrangements that the Investment Adviser maintains with respect to the Fund or with brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the Fund, and of all research and other services provided to the Investment Adviser by a broker or dealer (whether prepared by such
5
broker or dealer or by a third party) as a result, in whole or in part, of the direction of Fund transactions to the broker or dealer.
(d) Aggregated Transactions. On occasions when the Investment Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or other financial instrument to be in the best interests of both the Fund and other client accounts or portfolios that the Investment Adviser manages, the Investment Adviser is authorized, but not required, to aggregate purchase and sale orders for securities or other financial instruments held (or to be held) by the Fund with similar orders being made on the same day for other client accounts or portfolios that the Investment Adviser manages. When an order is so aggregated, the Investment Adviser may allocate the recommendations or transactions among all accounts and portfolios for whom the recommendation is made or the transaction is effected on a basis that the Investment Adviser reasonably considers equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and its other clients, subject at all times to the allocation policies and procedures of the Fund. The Investment Adviser and the Fund recognize that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund.
6. Compensation
For the services rendered, the facilities furnished and the expenses assumed by the Investment Adviser under this Agreement, the Fund will pay to the Investment Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s Managed Assets (as defined herein), payable monthly in arrears, calculated as of the first business day of each calendar month. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations other than liabilities or obligations attributable to Financial Leverage (as defined herein), including, without limitation, Financial Leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and/or (iv) any other means. To the extent applicable, the Fund and the Investment Adviser understand and acknowledge that the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock (other than accumulated dividends) is not considered a liability in determining the Fund’s Managed Assets. The management fee for the period from the Effective Date (defined in Section 10(a)) of this Agreement to the end of the month during which the Effective Date occurs will be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of a month, the management fee for such part of that month will be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period. For the purpose of determining management fees payable to the Investment Adviser, the value of the Fund’s Managed Assets will be computed at the times and in the manner specified from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
7. Expenses
(a) The Investment Adviser. Except as may otherwise be provided in Section 7(b) of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser will: (i) provide the staff and personnel necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, assume and pay or cause to be paid all expenses
6
incurred in connection with the maintenance of such staff and personnel, and, at its own expense, provide the office space, facilities, equipment and necessary personnel that it is obligated to provide under this Agreement; and (ii) pay, or cause affiliates to pay, compensation of all officers of the Fund and all Trustees of the Fund who are “interested persons” of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act).
(b) The Fund. The Fund will bear all other expenses to be incurred in its operation, including, but not limited to: (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, including reimbursement for all of their out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board of Trustees or committee meetings; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, administrative, fund accounting, registrar, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the Fund and the Fund’s shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Fund; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Fund’s shareholders, including proxy solicitations in connection with such meetings; (ix) insurance premiums for fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions insurance policies, and other coverage; (x) management fees; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing prospectuses and, as applicable, statements of additional information and supplements to those documents; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses and, as applicable, statements of additional information and supplements to those documents; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is a party and legal obligations pursuant to which the Fund may have to indemnify the Fund’s trustees, officers, employees and/or agents with respect to these actions, suits or proceedings. If the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates provides accounting services to the Fund, the Fund will reimburse the Investment Adviser and its affiliates for their costs in providing such accounting services to the Fund using a methodology for determining costs approved by the Board of Trustees.
8. Services to Other Companies or Accounts
The Fund understands that the Investment Adviser and its affiliates now act, will continue to act and may act in the future as investment manager, adviser, general partner or managing member to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as an investment manager or adviser to other investment companies, including, but not limited to, offshore entities or private accounts. The Fund has no objection to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates so acting, so long as, whenever the Fund and one or more other investment companies or accounts managed or advised by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula reasonably believed to be equitable to each such company and account and in accordance with the Fund’s allocation policies and procedures as adopted by the Fund from time to time. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund. The Fund understands that the persons employed by the Investment Adviser to assist in the performance of the Investment Adviser’s duties under this Agreement may not devote their full time to such service, and that nothing contained in this Agreement will
7
be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Investment Adviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature. This Agreement will not in any way limit or restrict the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates, principals, officers, employees, or agents from buying, selling or trading any securities or other investment instruments for its or their own account or for the account of others for whom it or they may be acting, so long as such activities do not adversely affect or otherwise impair the performance by the Investment Adviser of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
9. Custody

10. Term of Agreement; Termination of Agreement; Amendment of Agreement

This Agreement will become effective upon the acceptance into the Fund of investment moneys other than seed capital from the Investment Adviser or its affiliates (the “Effective Date”), and, unless terminated in accordance with its terms, will continue for an initial two-year term and after that initial two-year term so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually as required by the 1940 Act.

This Agreement also will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment,” as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules under the 1940 Act, except that to the extent consistent with the Advisers Act and the 1940 Act, without the notice to or consent of the Fund, the Investment Adviser may be reconstituted or reorganized into any other form of business entity.

The Investment Adviser may, however, retain copies of the records at its own cost. The Fund’s Books and Records will be made available, within two (2) business days of a written request, to the Fund’s accountants or auditors during regular business hours at the Investment Adviser’s offices. The Fund or its authorized representatives will have the right to copy any records in the Investment Adviser’s possession that pertain to the Fund.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement, the Fund’s Books and Records will be returned to the Fund. The Investment Adviser agrees that the policies and procedures it has established for managing the Fund, including, but not limited to, all policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations governing the adviser/client relationship and management and operation of the Fund, will be made available for inspection by the Fund or its authorized representatives upon reasonable written request within two (2) business days.
13. Conflicts with Fund’s Governing Documents and Applicable Laws
Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to require the Fund to take any action contrary to the Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust or By-laws, as they may be amended and/or restated from time to time, or any applicable statute or regulation, or to relieve or deprive the Board of Trustees of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of the Fund.

In the event that the effect of a requirement of the federal securities laws reflected in any provision of this Agreement is made less restrictive by a rule, regulation or order of the SEC, whether of
9
special or general application, such provision may be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order. This Agreement may be signed in counterpart.
