This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2013 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The Fund will not be obligated to repay any such waived/reimbursed fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee/expense was waived/reimbursed. |
