Each Fund listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) shall pay a “Basis Point Fee” or a “Minimum Quarterly Fee” or a “Minimum Annual Fee”, as described below.

The Basis Point Fee applicable to the Funds will be calculated as of the last day of each month based on the total of the average daily net assets of the combined Funds above.

The monthly Basis Point Fee applicable to the Funds will be calculated as follows. First, the average daily net assets of the Funds are multiplied by the applicable Basis Point Rate(s) shown in the table above. The resultant dollar amount is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator which is the number of days in the month and the denominator which is the number of days in the year, to generate the monthly “Basis Point Fee”. If any Fund is in operation for less than a full month, the Basis Point Fee will be adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days such Fund is in operation during such month.

At the end of each calendar quarter, the total of the Basis Point Fee for each Fund for such quarter (i.e., the sum of the Basis Point Fee for each month in such quarter) will be compared to the Minimum Quarterly Fee for each Fund for such quarter. If the Basis Point Fee for each Fund for such quarter is higher than the Minimum Quarterly Fee for that quarter, the Funds shall pay the Basis Point Fee. If the Basis Point Fee for any Fund for such quarter is less than the Minimum Quarterly Fee for that quarter, each such Fund shall pay the Minimum Quarterly Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the total of the fees payable to the Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund in any calendar year equals or exceeds the Minimum Annual Fee payable for such calendar year (or the pro rata portion of the Minimum Annual Fee payable for partial calendar years), such Fund shall not be required to make further payments of the Minimum Quarterly Fee or Minimum Annual Fee with respect to such Fund for that calendar year.

The Minimum Quarterly Fee shall be calculated on a pro rata basis based on the number of days each Fund is in operation during a calendar quarter. The Minimum Annual Fee shall be calculated on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the Fund is in operation during a calendar year. For fee calculation purposes, a Fund’s commencement of operations is the date upon which assets necessary to purchase one creation unit are contributed to the Fund. A Fund’s last day of operations is the date upon which its assets are liquidated. Monthly Basis Point Fees and Minimum Quarterly Fees, as applicable, will be payable in arrears on a calendar quarter basis within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter.

If any Fund or the Investment Adviser terminates this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by Section 13.B herein) before the end of the twelve month period beginning on the date of the Fund’s commencement of operations, the total Minimum Annual Fee will be calculated, due and payable as if the Manager had sub-advised such Fund for a full calendar year and the termination date is the last day of such full calendar year.
