The Sales Manager also must have received as of each time referred to in Section 4(n) a signed letter from such accountants, dated as of the date thereof, confirming on the basis of a review in accordance with the procedures set forth in their earlier letter that nothing has come to their attention during the period from a date not more than five business days before the date of this Sales Agreement, specified in the letter, to a date not more than five business days before such time, that would require any change in their letter referred to in the foregoing sentence.

Indemnity and Contribution .

Each of the Fund and the Investment Adviser, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sales Manager, its partners, directors and officers, and any person who controls the Sales Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and their successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Sales Manager or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (i) arises out of or is based upon any untrue

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7 in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Fund and the Investment Adviser on the one hand and the Sales Manager on the other hand from the offering of the Common Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Fund and the Investment Adviser on the one hand and of the Sales Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions, which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Fund contained in this Sales Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Sales Manager, its partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls the Sales Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, its shareholders, partners, advisers, members, trustees, directors or officers or any person who controls the Fund or the Investment Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Sales Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Common Shares.

The Sales Manager confirms that these statements are correct in all material respects and were so furnished by or on behalf of the Sales Manager for use in the Prospectus.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 7, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Sales Agreement against any loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arising by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties in the performance of its duties hereunder.
