Dear Board Members:
You have engaged Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”) to act as the sole investment adviser to the Eventide Funds listed on Exhibit A (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) pursuant to a Management Agreement dated as of June 30, 2008 (the “Agreement”) as amended.
Eventide hereby contractually agrees to waive management fees and/or reimburse the Funds for expenses they incur, but only to the extent necessary to maintain each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expense on securities sold short, underlying fund fees and expenses or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) at the percentage of average daily net assets and term as stated in Exhibit A for each Fund.
This agreement shall remain in effect for a Fund until at least the date set forth on Exhibit A, unless terminated sooner as provided herein, and shall continue in effect for successive twelve-month periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved by a majority of the Trustees of the Mutual Fund Series Trust (the “Trust”). This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees on 60 days’ written notice to Eventide and upon the termination of the Management Agreement between the Trust and Eventide.
Any waiver or reimbursement by us is subject to repayment by the applicable Fund within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the expenses occurred, if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limitation in place at the time of waiver/reimbursement and the expense limitation in place at the time of recapture.
