Dear Sirs:

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”) hereby agrees to waive fees owed to it or to reimburse each Fund listed on Schedule A for the period described therein. JPMIM will waive fees or reimburse expenses to the extent total operating expenses exceed the rate of average daily net assets indicated on Schedule A. This expense limitation does not include acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest1 expenses on securities sold short, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, costs of holding shareholder meetings, and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund’s business. In addition, a Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by JPMIM or its affiliates (“affiliated money market funds”). JPMIM hereby contractually agrees to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the fees and expenses of the affiliated money market funds incurred by a Fund because of the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. This waiver does not apply to a Fund’s investments in affiliated money market funds made with cash received as collateral from securities lending borrowers.

JPMIM understands and intends that the Funds will rely on this agreement in preparing and filing their registration statements on Form N-1A and in accruing the Funds’ expenses for purposes of calculating net asset value and for other purposes, and expressly permits the Funds to do so.

Please acknowledge acceptance on the enclosed copy of this letter.

Very truly yours,

 

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.
