WHEREAS, each Fund is responsible for, and has assumed the obligation for, payment of certain expenses pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement that have not been assumed by the Adviser; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to limit each Fund's Operating Expenses (as that term is defined in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement) pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Trust (on behalf of the Funds) desires to allow the Adviser to implement those limits;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties, intended to be legally bound hereby, mutually agree as follows:

I. Limit on Operating Expenses. The Adviser hereby agrees to limit each Fund's current Operating Expenses to an annual rate, expressed as a percentage of the Fund's average annual net assets, to the amounts listed in Appendix A (the "Annual Limits") with respect to each Fund and each Class. In the event that the current Operating Expenses, as accrued each month, exceed its Annual Limit, the Adviser will pay to the Fund Class, on a monthly basis, the excess expense within 30 days of being notified that an excess expense payment is due.

2.Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Operating Expenses" with respect to a Fund and Class is defined to include all expenses necessary or appropriate for the operation of a Fund, including the Adviser's Investment Advisory or management fee detailed in the Investment Advisory Agreement, any Rule I 2b-1 fees and other expenses described in the Investment Advisory Agreement, but does not include any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation.

3.Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses.

This Agreement will automatically terminate, with respect to each Fund listed in Appendix A, if the Investment Advisory Agreement for that Fund is terminated, with such termination effective upon the effective date of the Investment Advisory Agreement's termination for that Fund.

6.Assignment. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned without the written consent of the other party.
