WHEREAS, the Company and the Adviser have determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to further amend the Expense Support Agreement as set forth below; 




NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:




1.  Section 2. 2 of the Expense Support Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

The repayment of all Expense Support Payments is to be made within a period not to exceed three (3) years from the date each respective Expense Support Payment is determined. Expense Support Payments which remain unreimbursed three (3) years after payment will be considered permanently waived and no longer eligible for reimbursement by the Company under this Agreement.
