Excess Expense Reimbursement Agreement
     The Trust, subject to the Expense Limitation, agrees to reimburse the Adviser for any Operating Expenses in excess of the Expense Limitation that are paid or absorbed by the Adviser (including through waiver of the Adviser’s fee) pursuant to the agreement set forth above (“Excess Expenses”). Such reimbursement will be made as promptly as possible, and to the maximum extent permissible, without causing the Operating Expenses for any year to exceed the Expense Limitation; provided, however, that such reimbursement for Excess Expenses shall be made only if payable within three years of the end of the fiscal year in which such Excess Expenses were incurred. This agreement of the Trust to reimburse the Adviser for Excess Expenses shall terminate in the event the Adviser terminates the Advisory Agreement without the consent of the Trust.
