on expenses which may be borne by the Fund as set forth in the laws, regulations
and administrative interpretations of those states in which the Fund's shares
are registered. The Manager may waive all or a portion of its fees provided for
hereunder and such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in purchase price of
its services. The Manager shall be contractually bound hereunder by the terms of
any publicly announced waiver of its fee, or any limitation of a Funds'
expenses, as if such waiver or limitation were full set forth herein.
