Dear Board Members:
You have engaged us to act as the sole investment adviser to the Catalyst Funds listed on Exhibit A (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) pursuant to a Management Agreement dated as of July 31, 2006 (the “Agreement”) as amended.
We hereby contractually agree to waive management fees and/or reimburse the Funds for expenses they incur, but only to the extent necessary to maintain each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; underlying fund expenses; 12b-1 distribution plan expenses, and extraordinary expenses) at the percentage of average daily net assets and term as stated in Exhibit A for each Fund.
Any waiver or reimbursement by us is subject to repayment by the applicable Fund within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the expenses occurred, if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding its current expense limitations and the repayment is approved by the Board of Trustees.
Very truly yours,
CATALYST CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC
