[1] The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect current fees rather than the fees in effect during the previous fiscal year.
[2] "Acquired Fund" means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the previous fiscal year. The "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" and "Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses" will not match the Fund's gross and net expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights from the Fund's financial statements, which reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] The Fund's administrator has entered into a Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with the Fund that runs through October 1, 2013. The agreement can only be terminated prior to that date at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Fund's administrator receives payments under the agreement at a maximum annual rate of 0.70%. In conjunction with the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement, the Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Fund's administrator, also through October 1, 2013, under which it has agreed to (i) make payments to the administrator based upon the Fund's net assets according to a schedule included in the Operating Plan and (ii) assume certain expenses of the Fund outlined in the Operating Plan. These measures are intended to limit the Fund's operating expenses to 0.70% of the average daily net assets, exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. The Operating Plan can only be terminated prior to the conclusion of the current term with the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid under the Operating Plan. The advisory fee payable to the Advisor increases with the Fund's asset size: the minimum annual rate is 0.00% on average daily net assets under $11 million and gradually increases to a maximum annual rate of 0.45% on average daily net assets of $16 million or more.
