NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Gottex (or an affiliate of Gottex) agrees to pay or absorb the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (including organization and offering expenses, as well as the portion of the Master Fund's fees and expenses borne by the Fund, but excluding any Incentive Fees (as defined in the Fund's prospectus), the Sub-Advisory Fees (as defined in the Fund's prospectus), Portfolio Fund fees and expenses (as defined in the Fund's prospectus), interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses of the Fund), to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund to 2.25% per annum of the Fund's average monthly net assets (the "Expense Limitation").
2. In consideration of Gottex's agreement to limit the Fund's expenses, the Fund will carry forward the amount of expenses paid or absorbed by Gottex or its affiliate (except for the Fund's organizational expenses), in excess of the Expense Limitation, for a period not to exceed two years from the end of the fiscal year in which they were incurred (in the case of offering expenses, this period shall be one year instead of two years) and will reimburse Gottex (or its affiliate) such amounts. Reimbursement will be made as promptly as possible, but only to the extent it does not cause the Fund's ordinary operating expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation in effect at the time of reimbursement.
