1. LMPFA hereby agrees to waive any and all fees it and its affiliated persons are entitled to receive from the Fund for advisory and all other services and/or reimburse ordinary operating expenses in an amount that would limit the total ordinary operating expenses (other than extraordinary expenses) of the Fund or Class as provided in Exhibit A (“Expenses After Waiver/Reimbursement”) of the Fund’s average daily net assets until August 31, 2009.

Without limiting the foregoing, extraordinary expenses are generally those that are unusual or expected to recur only infrequently, and may include such expenses, by way of illustration, as (i) expenses of the reorganization, restructuring, redomiciling or merger of the Fund or class or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of another fund or class; (ii) expenses of holding, and soliciting proxies for, a meeting of shareholders of the Fund or class (except to the extent relating to routine items such as the election of board members or the approval of the independent registered public accounting firm); and (iii) expenses of converting to a new custodian, transfer agent or other service provider, in each case to the extent any such expenses are considered extraordinary expenses for the purposes of fee disclosure in Form N-1A as the same may be amended from time to time.

2. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Trust and its successors or LMPFA without the consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor to LMPFA.
