[3] The Manager has contractually agreed to reduce and/or reimburse the A Class, C Class and Institutional Class of the Fund for Other Expenses, as applicable, through April 30, 2015, to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.24% for the A Class, 1.99% for the C Class and 0.84% for the Institutional Class (excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and other extraordinary expenses such as litigation). The contractual expense reimbursement can be changed only with the approval of a majority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Manager can be reimbursed by the Fund for any contractual reductions or expense reimbursements if reimbursement to the Manager (a) occurs within three years after the Manager's own reduction or reimbursement and (b) does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of a class to exceed the contractual percentage limit.
