This Agreement shall continue in place until the earlier to occur of October 31, 2013, or such date as the Fund is terminated or liquidated in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or Bylaws. We understand that we may not terminate this Agreement prior to such date, except that we may voluntarily agree to lower the expense cap below 1.95%.

Any waiver or reimbursement by us is subject to repayment by the Fund in the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the particular waiver or reimbursement occurred; provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the above expense limitation.
