EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT FOR MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS
Exhibit 23(h)(10)
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2008, is made and entered into by and between the MMA
Praxis Mutual Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of each series set forth
in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Funds”), and MMA Capital Management (the “Adviser”).
WHEREAS, the Adviser has been appointed the investment adviser of each of the Funds pursuant
to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser (the
“Advisory Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Adviser desire to enter into the arrangements described herein
relating to certain expenses of the Funds;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust and the Adviser hereby agree as follows:
1. The Adviser agrees, subject to Section 2 hereof, to reduce the fees payable to it under the
Advisory Agreement (but not below zero) and/or reimburse other expenses of the Funds, during the
fiscal year ending April 30, 2009, to the extent necessary to limit the total operating expenses of
each class of shares of each Fund, exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends,
fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, legal fees, costs
relating to such services and extraordinary expenses, to the amount of the “Maximum Operating
Expense Limit” applicable to each such class of shares as set forth across the from the name of
each respective class of each Fund on the attached Schedule A.
2. Each Fund agrees to pay to the Adviser the amount of fees (including any amounts foregone
through limitation or reimbursed pursuant to Section 1 hereof) that, but for Section 1 hereof,
would have been payable by the Fund to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement or which have
been reimbursed in accordance with Section 1 (the “Deferred Fees”), subject to the limitations
provided in this Section. Such repayment shall be made monthly, but only if the operating expenses
of the Fund (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, fees paid to vendors
providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, legal fees, costs relating to such
services and extraordinary expenses), without regard to such repayment, are at an annual rate (as a
percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund) equal to or less than the “Maximum
Operating Expense Limit” for each respective class of shares of the Fund, as set forth on Schedule
A. Furthermore, the amount of Deferred Fees paid by a Fund in any month shall be limited so that
the sum of (a) the amount of such payment and (b) the operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of
brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividend and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed the
above-referenced “Maximum Operating Expense Limit” for each respective class of shares of a Fund.
Deferred Fees with respect to any fiscal year of a Fund shall not be payable by the Fund to
the extent that the amounts payable by the Fund pursuant to the preceding paragraph during the
period ending three years after the end of such fiscal year are not sufficient to pay such Deferred
Fees. In no event will a Fund be obligated to pay any fees waived or deferred by the Adviser with
respect to any other series of the Trust.
3. Notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed by the Trust on behalf of the Funds
by an officer of the Trust as an officer and not individually and that the obligations of or
arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders
individually but are binding only upon the assets and property belonging to the Funds.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.
