Fund fees and expenses" and brokerage commissions, do not exceed, 1.00% (on an
annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets.

            FEE RECOVERY. The Adviser shall be entitled to recover, subject to
approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, such amounts for a period of up
to three (3) years from the year in which the Adviser reduced its compensation
and/or assumed expenses for the Fund.

            TERM. This Agreement shall terminate on April 30, 2011, or at an
earlier date upon the discretion of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, unless
