Similarly, Fund Administrator may amend the terms and conditions of this Investor Portal Agreement at any time. Such terms will be communicated direct electronic notification to the Investor.

The Investor will be responsible for (1) authorizing, monitoring, controlling access to and maintaining the strict confidentiality of their usernames and passwords, (2) not allowing another person to use their usernames or passwords, and (3) any charges or damages that may be incurred as a result of their neglect to maintain the strict confidentiality of their usernames and passwords.
-
A link to a User Registration access site will be transmitted to each easer via email. Users will be prompted to set up their passwords and a security question and answer. (Fund Administrator strongly recommends that Investor establish a policy that logon information not be shared among Investor’s employees or associates). Investosr will be responsible for (1) authorizing, monitoring, controlling access to and maintaining the strict confidentiality of their usernames and passwords, (2) not allowing another person to use their usernames or passwords, and (3) any charges or damages that may be incurred as a result of their neglect to maintain the strict confidentiality of their usernames and passwords.

Fund Administrator reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in Fund Administrator’s sole discretion. Investor will indemnify Fund Administrator and hold Fund Administrator harmless for all time and costs (including attorney fees) that Fund Administrator is compelled to incur in responding to subpoenas, discovery requests, or other legal process (including government requests) resulting in any way from the documents contained on the Investor Portal.
