Re: Expense Limitation for First Eagle Fund of America (the “Fund”)

Dear First Eagle Funds:

First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) and First Eagle Funds (the “Trust”), on behalf of the Fund, hereby confirm their agreement as follows:

From the effective date of the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-1A on or about August 10, 2020 until the date noted on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Limitation Period”), the Investment Adviser agrees to waive fees and/or reimburse annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) (“Operating Expenses”) of the Fund’s respective Classes noted on Schedule A (each a “Class”) so that the Operating Expenses of each Fund’s respective Classes are limited to the respective rate per annum, as noted on Schedule A, of that Class’ average daily net assets (each an “Expense Limitation”). Commitment fees relating to borrowings are treated as interest for purposes of this section. 

The Fund agrees to repay the Investment Adviser out of assets attributable to its respective Class noted on Schedule A for any fees waived by the Investment Adviser under an Expense Limitation or any Operating Expenses the Investment Adviser reimburses in excess of an Expense Limitation, provided that the repayment does not cause that Class’ Operating Expenses to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived and/or the expenses were reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays the Investment Adviser, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which the Investment Adviser incurred the expense.

The Investment Adviser understands that it shall look only to the assets attributable to the respective Class of the Fund for performance of this Agreement and for payment of any claim the Investment Adviser may have hereunder, and neither any other series of the Trust or Class of the Fund, nor any of the Trust’s trustees, officers, employees, agents, or shareholders, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor.

This Agreement is made and is to be performed principally in the State of New York, and 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 New York. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be in writing signed by the parties hereto, and requires approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of acceptance on the enclosed counterpart hereof and return the same.
