1 The management fee for this Fund is structured as a “unified fee”, out of which the Adviser pays all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under this Agreement; payments under any 12b-1 plan; taxes and other governmental fees; brokerage fees, commissions and other transaction expenses; interest and other costs of borrowing; litigation or arbitration expenses; acquired fund fees and expenses; and extraordinary or other non-routine expenses of the Fund; each of which is paid by the Fund.
2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust, the Adviser and the Fund’s Sub-Adviser have not entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund that provides for a unified fee pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser is obligated to pay, or reimburse the Fund for the payment of, the Adviser’s fee, as described in the third sentence of the first paragraph of Section 9 of the Agreement.
