Ladies and Gentlemen:
Columbia Xxxxxx Asset Management, LLC (“CWAM”) hereby contractually undertakes, for the term specified below, with respect to the series of Columbia Acorn Trust designated Columbia Acorn Select (“Acorn Select”) and with respect to the series of Xxxxxx Advisors Trust designated Xxxxxx Select (“Xxxxxx Select” and, together with Acorn Select, the “Funds”) to waive 20 basis points of each Fund’s advisory fee otherwise payable to CWAM under the applicable investment advisory agreement.
This undertaking will be in effect from May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CWAM and a Fund. When determining whether a Fund’s total expenses exceed any applicable expense cap under another contractual or voluntary fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement between a Fund and CWAM, the Fund’s net advisory fee (that is, the advisory fee payable after application of the 20 basis points waiver established hereby) will be used to calculate the Fund’s total expenses.
CWAM acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to collect on or make a claim for waived fees that are the subject of this undertaking at any time in the future.
This undertaking shall be binding upon any successors and assignees of CWAM.
