NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, Sentinel and the Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, agree as follows:

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” is defined to mean the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund, including, without limitation, Sentinel’s investment advisory fee as described in the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, as of April 4, 2008, as further amended to date, but does not include any short sale dividend and/or interest expenses. It is understood that acquired fund fees and expenses are not operating expenses for purposes of this Agreement.

The parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date first set forth above.
