expense payment.

3. Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses. The Co-Advisors retain their right to receive reimbursement of any excess expense payments paid by it pursuant to this Agreement in future years on a rolling three year basis, if such reimbursement can be achieved within the Operating Expense Limitations listed in Appendix A.
