RE: | Expense Limit Agreement – Causeway International Opportunities Fund |
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Causeway International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Causeway Capital Management Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”). 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 each class of 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 each class of the Fund or to reimburse the operating expenses allocable to each class of the Fund, to the extent that each class’ operating expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, shareholder service fees, 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 of each class of the Fund. We agree that court and legal fees and expenses incurred and paid by the Fund in connection with the pursuit of claims regarding a certain portfolio holding in Germany, in light of the particular facts and circumstances surrounding such matter, shall not be deemed “extraordinary expenses” for purposes of the foregoing sentence. We further 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.
