3. Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses.

4. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the date first above written and shall remain in effect until at least May 31, 2014, unless sooner terminated as provided in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement, and shall continue in effect for successive twelve-month periods provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust.
