WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement and agree that the amendment will be effective as of January 1, 2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. The first two sentences of Section 15 are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
15. Duration and Termination. With respect to each Series identified as a Series on Schedule A hereto as in effect on the date of this Amendment, unless earlier terminated with respect to any Series, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect through December 31, 2007. Thereafter, unless earlier terminated with respect to a Series, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each such Series for periods of one year, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, or (ii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Series (as defined in the 1940 Act), and provided that such continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Fund or the Manager, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
With respect to any Series that was added to Schedule A hereto as a Series after the date of this Amendment, the Agreement shall become effective on the later of (i) the date Schedule A is amended to reflect the addition of such Series as a Series under the Agreement or (ii) the date upon which the shares of the Series are first sold to the public, subject to the condition that the Fund’s Board of Trustees, including a majority of those Trustees who are not interested persons (as such term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Manager, and the shareholders of such Series, shall have approved this Agreement. Unless terminated earlier as provided herein with respect to any such Series, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a period of two years from the date of its effectiveness (as identified above) with respect to that Series. Thereafter, unless earlier terminated with respect to a Series, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each such Series for periods of one year, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the
Board of Trustees of the Fund, or (ii) by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Series (as defined in the 1940 Act), and provided that such continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Fund or the Manager, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
2. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
