We agree that this obligation shall constitute a contractual commitment enforceable by the Fund and that we may not assert any right to reimbursement of any amounts so waived or reimbursed if such reimbursement would result in the Fund or class of shares thereof, as applicable, exceeding the expense limit and recoupment provisions set forth in Schedule A. We agree not to seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the shareholders of the Fund, nor from the Trustees of the Fund.
Except insofar as the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or other federal laws and regulations may be controlling, this agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.
