Re: Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund Advisory Agreement Addendum

Dear Mr. Giunta:

The Advisory Agreement dated October 30, 2000 between Natixis Funds Trust I (formerly CDC Nvest Funds Trust I) (the “Trust”) with respect to its Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (formerly CDC Nvest Star Small Cap Fund) (the “Series”) and Natixis Advisors, L.P. (formerly CDC IXIS Asset Management Advisers, L.P.) (the “Manager”) is hereby revised, effective July 1, 2021, to delete section 7 and to replace it with the following:

7. As full compensation for all services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses borne by the Manager hereunder, the Fund shall pay the Manager compensation in an amount equal to the annual rate of 0.85% the Series’ average daily net assets (or such lesser amount as the Manager may from time to time agree to receive) minus any fees payable by the Fund, with respect to the period in question, to any one or more Subadvisers pursuant to any Subadvisory Agreements in effect with respect to such period. Such compensation shall be payable monthly in arrears or at such other intervals, not less frequently than quarterly, as the Board of Trustees of the Fund may from time to time determine and specify in writing to the Manager. The Manager hereby acknowledges that the Fund’s obligation to pay such compensation is binding only on the assets and property belonging to the Series.

To indicate your approval and acceptance of the terms of this letter, please sign below where indicated.
