Payment.
At the end of each month, the accruals made pursuant to Section 1.3 above shall be netted, and the result shall be remitted by the Investment Manager to the Fund if such netting results in an Excess Amount, and it shall be remitted to the Investment Manager if such netting results in a Recoupment Amount and the Investment Manager is entitled to a Recoupment Amount pursuant to Section 2 below. Any such amounts remitted to a Fund, or repaid by a Fund, shall be allocated among the classes of the Fund in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s Multiple Class Plan Pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act. For avoidance of doubt, any payments made pursuant to Section 1.1 and this Section 1.4 may include waivers of Fund-level expenses, such as management fees, custodian fees, and other expenses related to the management of the Trust’s assets which must be allocated proportionately among all classes, and reimbursements of Class-specific expenses, which may be waived or reimbursed at different amounts for individual classes. The Registrant may offset amounts owed to a Fund pursuant to this Agreement against the Fund’s advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager.

In all other respects, the Agreement is hereby confirmed and remains in full force and effect.
