SCHEDULEB SUB-ADVISORY FEE
For services provided to any Fund, the Adviser will pay to the Sub-Adviser a fee, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 50% of the gross advisory fee payable by that Fund to the Adviser for such month (the "Sub-Adviser Fee"); provided, however, that the Adviser shall be entitled to retain a minimum annual fee of $20,000 per calendar year, payable (if applicable) at the end of each calendar year or the termination of this Agreement (the minimum fee shall be prorated for partial calendar years) (the "Adviser's Retention"). To the extent that the Adviser's Retention for any calendar year is less than the net advisory fee actually retained by the Adviser for such period after payment by the Adviser of any of the Fund's expenses for such period and the Sub-Adviser Fee as set forth above (such difference, the "Adviser's Shortfall"), then the Sub-Adviser will waive its fee and/or reimburse the Adviser in an aggregate amount equal to the Adviser's Shortfall.
