1 The Performance Adjustment initially will be determined by reference to the sole outstanding class of shares of each Fund. If, in the future, a Fund offers more than one class of shares, the Performance Adjustment for that Fund

will continue to be determined by reference to the initial class of shares, unless the Board determines otherwise.

2 The Lipper Index tracks the performance of the 30 largest funds within a category consisting of funds that allocate their investments across various asset classes, including both domestic and foreign stocks, bonds, and money market instruments, with a focus on total return, and which have at least 25% of their portfolio invested in securities traded outside of the United States.

3 The Lipper Index tracks the performance of funds that invest primarily in investment-grade debt issues (rated in top four grades) with dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten years.
