  Sub-Item No. 77Q2: Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires the Fund's Board Members, executive officers, persons who own more
than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund's common units, the Advisor
and certain officers of the Advisor (the "Section 16 insiders"), including in
some cases former Section 16 insiders for a period of up to 6 months, to file
reports on holdings of, and transactions in, Fund common units with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and to furnish the Funds with copies
of all such reports.

   Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to the Fund
during the Fund's most recent fiscal year and representations from these
Section 16 insiders with respect to the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the
Fund believes that its Section 16 insiders met all such applicable SEC filing
requirements for the Fund's most recently concluded fiscal year, except that
one Form 4 filed on behalf of Mr. Christopher Accettella on February 2, 2017
incorrectly reflected the number of securities beneficially owned by
Mr. Accettella following his acquisition of securities on January 31, 2017. The
Form 4 was amended on February 16, 2017 to reflect the correct number of
securities beneficially owned by Mr. Accettella following his reported
acquisition of securities on January 31, 2017.
