The Adviser hereby agrees, with respect to each Fund, for so long as this agreement is in effect, to waive the fees payable to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund or to reimburse the operating expenses allocable to the Fund, to the extent that the Fund’s operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) exceed, in aggregate, the rate per annum as set forth in Schedule A. All amounts waived or reimbursed may be subject to recapture pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
The foregoing expense limitations, effective November 30, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), shall remain effective for all Funds until October 28, 2021. This agreement may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
This agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of California, except insofar as federal laws and regulations are controlling.
