This Agreement shall apply to each investment portfolio of a Fund as set forth in Schedule A (the “Series”).

WHEREAS, the Adviser has been appointed the investment adviser to the Series pursuant to an advisory agreements between each Fund and the Adviser (each, an “Advisory Agreement”), under which the Adviser provides certain investment advisory services to each Series and is compensated by each Series in the amount set forth in the Advisory Agreement with respect to the applicable Series (the “Advisory Fee”);

WHEREAS, each Series, consistent with its investment objective and applicable restrictions set forth in the Series’ prospectus and statement of additional information, may invest a portion of its assets in other registered investment companies;

WHEREAS, a Series’ investment in other registered investment companies may include an investment in any other Series and any other investment portfolio for which the Adviser or its affiliates provide investment advisory services (together, the “Underlying Affiliated Series”) pursuant to an agreement between each Underlying Affiliated Series and the Adviser or its affiliate (each, an “Underlying Affiliated Series Advisory Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Underlying Affiliated Series Advisory Agreement, each Underlying Affiliated Series pays to the Adviser or its affiliate an amount set forth in the Underlying Affiliated Series Advisory Agreement for the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser or its affiliate (the “Underlying Affiliated Series Advisory Fee”); and

WHEREAS, each Fund, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Series, and the Adviser desire to enter into the arrangements described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.  The Adviser agrees to waive the full amount of a Series’ Advisory Fee to the extent necessary to offset the proportionate share of the Underlying Affiliated Series Advisory Fee paid by the Series through its investment in an Underlying Affiliated Series.

2.  Nothing herein shall otherwise affect the terms of any other expense limitation agreements, if any, between the Adviser or its affiliates and a Fund. For purposes of calculating the extent of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements under such agreements, the Adviser shall

This Agreement, as it relates to a Series, will terminate automatically if the Advisory Agreement with respect to such Series is terminated, with such termination effective upon the effective date of the Advisory Agreement’s termination.
