3.Recoupment. There shall be no recoupment of any waived fees or expenses by the Adviser.
4.Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate if the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, with such termination effective upon the effective date of the Investment Advisory Agreement’s termination. This Waiver Agreement may only be terminated prior to expiration by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.
Entire Agreement; Modification; Amendment.
