To the extent that the Adviser reimburses the Fund or waives fees otherwise payable by the Fund to the Adviser during any year with respect to the Retail Class, the Class C or the Class I shares of the Fund, and the total expenses borne by such respective Class, including the Adviser’s fee and any such reimbursement but excluding all federal, state and local taxes does not exceed 1.00%, 1.75% and 0.75%, respectively, during any of the following three years, the Fund agrees to reimburse the Adviser for such reimbursements or fee waivers to the extent of such difference. Any amounts that may be payable by the Fund to the Adviser after the third year following the year of any such reimbursement or fee waiver by the Adviser to the Fund shall be extinguished and the Fund shall have no further obligation to pay the Adviser for such reimbursement or fee waiver.
