The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved a contractual commitment whereby such reimbursements will be no more than the Distribution (12b-1) Fees stated in the table above for the Fund.

This contract continues through December 7, 2019, at which time the Adviser will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it, except that it may be terminated by the Board at any time. The Adviser can be reimbursed by the Fund for any contractual fee reductions or expense reimbursements if reimbursement to the Adviser (a) occurs within the three years following the year in which the Fund accrues a liability or recognizes a contingent liability with respect to such amounts paid, waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and (b) does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of a class to exceed the percentage limit that was in effect at the time the Adviser paid, waived or reimbursed the amount being repaid by the Fund.
