Limitation of Total Operating Expense Ratios. The Adviser hereby agrees to waive any advisory fees payable to it under the Investment Advisory Agreement, waive any administration fees payable to it under the Administration Agreement, and/or reimburse other expenses of the Funds to the extent necessary to maintain a total operating expense ratio (the “Capped Operating Expense Ratios”) for each Fund that does not exceed its capped operating expense ratio (each, a Capped Operating Expense Ratio”), as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto (each, a “Commitment”). The operating expenses that may not exceed the Capped Operating Expense Ratio do not include expenses that are not included in calculating a fund’s operating expense ratio as reflected in its audited financial highlights (such as brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes or acquired fund fees and expense), prime broker fees, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short and do not include Extraordinary Expenses. Extraordinary Expenses shall include other expenses as are determined by a vote of the majority of the Trustees to be Extraordinary Expenses for this purpose.
