Exhibit No. EX-99.h.4.l
FEE WAIVER AND
EXPENSE ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
FEE WAIVER AND EXPENSE ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT, effective as of __________,
2008, between DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
"Fund"), on behalf of International Vector Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"),
and Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, a Delaware limited partnership
("Dimensional").
WHEREAS, Dimensional has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which Dimensional provides
investment management services for the Portfolio, and for which Dimensional is
compensated based on the average net assets of such Portfolio; and
WHEREAS, the Fund and Dimensional have determined that it is appropriate
and in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to limit the
expenses of the Portfolio;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption by Dimensional. Dimensional agrees
to waive all or a portion of its management fee and to assume the
expenses of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the
Portfolio's ordinary operating expenses (not including expenses
incurrent through an investment in other investment companies)
("Portfolio Expenses") to 0.60% of the Portfolio's average net assets
on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount").
2. Duty to Reimburse Dimensional. If, at any time, the Portfolio Expenses
are less than Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount, the Fund, on
behalf of the Portfolio, shall reimburse Dimensional for any fees
previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent
that such reimbursement will not cause the Portfolio's annualized
Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Portfolio's Expense Limitation
Amount. There shall be no obligation of the Fund, on behalf of the
Portfolio, to reimburse Dimensional for fees waived or expenses
previously assumed by Dimensional more than thirty-six months prior to
the date of any such reimbursement.
3. Assignment. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by
Dimensional without the prior consent of the Fund.
4. Duration and Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect
until April 1, 2009, and shall continue in effect from year to year
thereafter, unless and until the Fund or Dimensional notifies the
other party to the Agreement, at least thirty days prior to the end of
the one-year period for the Portfolio, of its intention to terminate
the Agreement. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the
termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Portfolio.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the date first written above.
