The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an agreement with Causeway Capital Management LLC (“Causeway”) whereby Causeway provides investment advisory services to the Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).
We hereby agree with respect to the Fund, for so long as this Expense Limit Agreement is in effect, to waive the fees payable to us under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund or to reimburse the operating expenses allocable to of the Fund, to the extent that the Fund’s operating expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, distribution plan expenses, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) exceed, in the aggregate, the rate per annum, as set forth in Schedule A, as a percentage of the average daily net assets the Fund. We agree that this obligation shall constitute a contractual commitment enforceable by the Trust and that we may not assert any right to reimbursement of any amounts so waived or reimbursed.
We acknowledge the limit of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust and agree that any obligation assumed by the Trust pursuant to this agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Trust and its assets. We agree not to seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the shareholders of the Trust, nor from the Trustees of the Trust.
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.
