Dear
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx Intrinsic Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Equity
Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust”).
You
hereby agree until the date noted on Schedule A (“Limitation Period”), to forgo
current payment of fees and/or reimburse annual operating expenses of the Fund’s
respective Class noted on Schedule A (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, if
any, of the Fund) (“Operating Expenses”), so that the Operating Expenses of the
Fund’s respective Class are limited to the rate per annum, as noted on Schedule
A, of that Class’ average daily net assets (“Expense Limitation”).
The Fund
agrees to repay you out of assets attributable to its respective Class noted on
Schedule A for any fees forgone by you under the Expense Limitation or any
Operating Expenses you reimburse in excess of the Expense Limitation, provided
the repayments do not cause that Class’ total operating expenses (exclusive of
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and
extraordinary expenses, if any) to exceed the respective annual rate of average
daily net assets as noted on Schedule A and the repayments are made within three
years after the year in which you incurred the expense.
You
understand that you shall look only to the assets attributable to the respective
Class of the Fund for performance of this Agreement and for payment of any claim
you may have hereunder, and neither any other series of the Trust or class of
the Fund, nor any of the Trust’s trustees, officers, employees, agents, or
shareholders, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable
therefor.
This
Agreement is made and to be performed principally in the State of New York, and
except insofar as the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or other
federal laws and regulations may be controlling, this Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of
the State of New York. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be in
writing signed by the parties hereto.
If you
are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of acceptance on the
enclosed counterpart hereof and return the same to us.
Very
truly yours,
