Re: Xxxx Xxxxx Core Bond Fund - Fee Waiver and Expense Cap Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Xxxx Xxxxx Fund Adviser, Inc. ("LMFA") hereby agrees that it or an
affiliate will waive its compensation (and, to the extent necessary, bear other
expenses) through April 30, 2008, to the extent that expenses of the Xxxx Xxxxx
Core Bond Fund of Xxxx Xxxxx Income Trust, Inc. (the "Fund") (exclusive of
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) would exceed
an annual rate of 1.00% for Primary Class.
For purposes of determining any such waiver or expense reimbursement,
expenses of a class of the Fund shall not reflect the application of any
custodial, transfer agency or other credits or expense offset arrangements that
may reduce the Fund's expenses or arrangements with any broker-dealer to apply a
portion of the commission or xxxx-up on any portfolio trade to the payment of
any of the Fund's other expenses.
If on any day during which LMFA is the investment manager, the
estimated annualized operating expenses of the Fund for that day are less than
the operating expense limit described above, LMFA shall be entitled to
reimbursement by the Fund of the investment management fees waived and other
payments remitted by LMFA on behalf of the Fund pursuant to this expense
limitation (the "Reimbursement Amount") during any of the previous thirty-six
(36) months, to the extent that the Fund's annualized operating expenses plus
the amount so reimbursed is less than or equals, for such day, the operating
expense limit provided for above, provided further that such amount paid to LMFA
will in no event exceed the total Reimbursement Amount and will not include any
amounts previously reimbursed.
We understand that you will rely on this agreement in accruing the
Fund's expenses for purposes of calculating its net asset value per share, and
for other purposes, including the preparation and filing of the Securities and
Exchange Commission Form N-1A Registration Statement for the Fund, and we
expressly permit you to do so.
Agreed and Accepted:
