The expense cap arrangements will continue for the applicable Fund until the date specified above, unless modified or terminated prior to that date by agreement of LMPFA and the Board, and that this arrangement may be terminated at any time after such date by LMPFA; The expense cap arrangement is subject to the following: that the arrangement may be modified by LMPFA to decrease total annual operating expenses of a class or Fund at any time; that LMPFA is permitted to recapture amounts waived or reimbursed to the Fund within the fiscal year in which

LMPFA earned the fee or incurred the expense if the Fund’s total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limit described above; and that in no case will LMPFA recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the Fund’s total annual operating expenses exceeding the limit described above or any other limit then in effect. In addition, for ClearBridge Funds (excluding ETFs), the Fund’s management fee will be waived to an extent sufficient to offset any net management fee payable in connection with an investment in an affiliated money market fund. This management fee waiver is not subject to the recapture provision.
