Service Providers hereby agree to waive all or a portion of the fees they earn
and/or cap or reimburse expenses of each Fund incurred in connection with the
services they provide to the Funds, in an amount equal to the amount by which

paid to brokers related to securities lending program, dividend expenses
associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and interest
expenses, transaction or brokerage fees, fees and expenses associated with
investment in other pooled investment vehicles, including exchange traded funds,
other affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, and certain other expenses as
may be approved by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees) exceed the thresholds
set forth in the attached Schedule B ("FEE CAPS") for any particular Fund, and
the Fund hereby agrees to such Fee Caps.
1. FEE CAPS/FEE WAIVERS. Any allocation of fee waivers and expenses
reimbursements among the Service Providers in order to meet the Fee
Caps will be determined by the Service Providers.
2. TERMINATION. With respect to any Fund, this Agreement will terminate
on the date listed in Schedule B unless modified by written agreement
of the Fund and the Service Providers or terminated earlier at the
sole discretion of the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees.
The Service Providers acknowledge that they (1) shall not be entitled to collect
on, or make a claim for, waived fees at any time in the future, and (2) shall
not be entitled to collect on, or make a claim for, reimbursed Fund expenses at
any time in the future.
