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.
Expense Limit To the extent that the aggregate expenses incurred by the Fund, which include all of the Fund's expenses (whether incurred directly by the Fund or indirectly at the Offshore Funds or the Master Fund level) ("Operating Expenses") other than expenses disclosed in the Fund's registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as not being included as part of the expense limit (which currently include (i) the management fee, (ii) interest expense, if any, (iii) any taxes paid by the Offshore Funds or the Master Fund, (iv) expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of expenses related to investing in, or incurred by, a portfolio fund or other permitted investment in which the Fund or Master Fund invests, (v) any trading-related expenses, including, but not limited to, clearing costs and commissions, (vi) dividends on short sales, if any, (vii) any other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's, Offshore Fund's, or Master Fund's business (including, without limitation, litigation expenses) and (viii) if applicable, distribution and investor services related fees paid to the distributor for the Fund's securities or financial intermediaries engaged by such distributor – collectively, the "Excluded Expenses"), for the period beginning and ending on the Fund’s fiscal year end which is March 31 (each, an "Applicable Year") exceed the Operating Expense Limit, as defined in Section 1.2 below, such excess amount (the "Excess Amount") shall be the liability of BlackRock. 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).
Expense Limitations In the event the operating expenses of the Fund, ------------------- including amounts payable to the Investment Adviser pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, for any fiscal year ending on a date on which this Agreement is in effect exceed the expense limitations applicable to the Fund imposed by applicable state securities laws or regulations thereunder, as such limitations may be raised or lowered from time to time, the Investment Adviser shall reduce its management and investment advisory fee by the extent of such excess and, if required pursuant to any such laws or regulations, will reimburse the Fund in the amount of such excess; provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, -------- ------- there shall be excluded from such expenses the amount of any interest, taxes, distribution fees, brokerage fees and commissions and extraordinary expenses (including but not limited to legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto) paid or payable by the Fund. 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.
Operating Expense Limit The Fund’s maximum operating expense limits (each an “Operating Expense Limit”) in any year shall be that percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.
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.
Sublease Limitation For so long as Landlord or any Affiliate as to Landlord shall seek to qualify as a real estate investment trust, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
Exercise Limitation In no event shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant, or part thereof, if, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder (other than shares which may be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation on exercise or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4), would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, it being the intent of the Company and the Holder that the Holder not be deemed at any time to have the power to vote or dispose of greater than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at any time. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Holder to exercise this Warrant at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 4. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of (i) Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4 applies (and without limiting any rights the Company may otherwise have), the Company may rely on the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have no obligation whatsoever to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination, and the submission of an Exercise Notice by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof. The Company shall have no liability to any person if the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof is incorrect.
Xxxxxx’s Exercise Limitations The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
