By our execution of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”), Denver Investment Advisors LLC (“Denver Investments”) agrees it will waive a portion of the investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or reimburse additional Trust expenses for the period commencing December 15, 2016 through April 30, 2018 so that the ratio of expenses to average net assets of the Retail Class of each portfolio of the Trust as reported in the Funds’ Financial Highlights do not exceed the amounts set forth in Attachment A. Until at least April 30, 2018, Denver Investments will also waive and/or reimburse the investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or reimburse Fund level “Other expenses” for each Institutional Class in the same proportion as the Retail Class waivers/reimbursements (calculated in basis points) as well as reimburse for the Institutional class-specific expenses but not to exceed a 0.25% difference between the net institutional and net retail expense ratios.
The parties acknowledge that Denver Investments will not be entitled to collect on or make a claim for waived fees or reimbursed expenses at any time in the future. The parties agree to continue such waivers for the applicable Funds at least through April 30, 2018.
The names “Westcore Trust” and “Trustees of Westcore Trust” refer respectively to the Trust created and the Trustees, as trustees but not individually or personally, acting from time to time under an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated November 19, 1987 as amended July 16, 1990 and as may be further amended from time to time which is hereby referred to and a copy of which is on file at the office of the State Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the principal office of the Trust. The obligations of “Westcore Trust” entered into in the name or on behalf thereof by any of the Trustees, representatives or agents are made not individually, but in such capacities, and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, or representatives of the Trust personally, but bind only the Trust Property, and all persons dealing with any class of shares of the Trust must look solely to the Trust Property belonging to such class for the enforcement of any claims against the Trust.
