RESOLVED: That the Board approves and agrees to this arrangement, subject to the following:
That this arrangement will continue for the applicable Fund until the date specified in the Board Material, 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;
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; and further
RESOLVED: That the officers of the Trust be, and the same hereby are, authorized to update the Summary Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information, with such amendments or applicable filings to include such other revisions as said officers may deem appropriate; and further
RESOLVED: That the officers of the Trust be, and each of them hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed to take all actions and to execute all documents necessary to give full effect to the foregoing resolutions in such manner or such forms as the officer or officers shall approve in his, her, or their discretion, in each case as conclusively evidenced by his, her, or their actions or signatures.
