In the event that any Applicable Year is for a period less than 365 days (for example, the Fund's initial year of operations or because this Agreement is terminated in the middle of a fiscal year), the Operating Expenses shall be annualized for purposes of calculating the Excess Amount. The list of Excluded Expenses in this Agreement shall be automatically amended on the effective date of the Fund's Registration Statement or any amendment thereto if the list of Excluded Expenses set forth in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement differs from the list in this Agreement and such new list of Excluded Expenses was approved by a majority of the Non-Interested Directors (defined below).

• Applicable Expense Limit To the extent that the aggregate expenses of every character incurred by a Fund in any fiscal year, including but not limited to investment advisory fees of the Adviser (but excluding interest, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, dividend expenses on short sales, and other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund’s business) (“Fund Operating Expenses”), exceed the Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit, as defined in Section 1.2 below, such excess amount (the “Excess Amount”) shall be the liability of the Adviser.

• Expense Limitation As part of the consideration for the Fund entering into this Agreement, the Manager hereby agrees to limit the aggregate expenses of every character incurred by the Fund, including but not limited to Fees of the Manager computed as hereinabove set forth, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, and other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and extraordinary expenses (“Manager Limitation”). Under the Manager Limitation, the Manager agrees that through a certain date (“Certain Date”), such expenses shall not exceed a certain level of the average daily net assets of the Fund (“Expense Limitation”). To determine the Manager’s liability for the Fund’s expenses over the Expense Limitation, the amount of allowable year-to-date expenses shall be computed daily by prorating the Expense Limitation based on the number of days elapsed within the fiscal year of the Fund, or limitation period, if shorter (“Prorated Limitation”). The Prorated Limitation shall be compared to the expenses of the Fund recorded through the prior day in order to produce the allowable expenses to be recorded for the current day (“Allowable Expenses”). If the Fund’s Management Fee and other expenses for the current day exceed the Allowable Expenses, the Management Fee for the current day shall be reduced by such excess (“Unaccrued Fees”). In the event the excess exceeds the amount due as the Management Fee, the Manager shall be responsible to the Fund for the additional excess (“Other Expenses Exceeding Limit”). If at any time up through and including the Certain date, the Fund’s Management Fee and other expenses for the current day are less than the Allowable Expenses, the differential shall be due to the Manager as payment of cumulative Unaccrued Fees (if any) or as payment for cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit (if any). If cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit remain at the Certain Date, these amounts shall be paid to the Manager in the future provided that: (1) no such payment shall be made to the Manager after a two year reimbursement period following the Certain Date; and (2) such payment shall only be made to the extent that it does not result in the Fund’s aggregate expenses exceeding the Expense Limitation. The Manager may voluntarily agree to an additional expense limitation (any such additional expense limitation hereinafter referred to as an “Additional Expense Limitation”), at the same or a different level and for the same or a different period of time beyond the Certain Date (any such additional period being hereinafter referred to an as “Additional Period”) provided, however, that: (1) the calculations and methods of payment shall be as described above; (2) no payment for cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit shall be made to the Manager more than two years after the end of the Additional Period; and (3) payment for cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit after the expiration of the Additional Period shall only be made to the extent it does not result in the Fund’s aggregate expenses exceeding the Additional Expense Limitation to which the unpaid amounts relate.

• Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit The Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit with respect to each Fund shall be the amount specified in Schedule A based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund.

• Duration of Operating Expense Limit The Operating Expense Limit with respect to the Fund shall remain in effect during the term of this Agreement.

Whenever the expenses of the Fund exceed a pro rata portion of the applicable annual expense limitations, the estimated amount of reimbursement under such limitations shall be applicable as an offset against the monthly payment of the fee due to the Investment Adviser. Should two or more such expense limitations be applicable as at the end of the last business day of the month, that expense limitation which results in the largest reduction in the Investment Adviser's fee shall be applicable.
