With respect to each Fund other than the Penn Capital Short Duration High Income Fund and Penn Capital Opportunistic High Income Fund, the Adviser hereby agrees to waive all or a portion of its advisory fees, and, if necessary, to assume certain other expenses (to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Fund or any Class thereof, to the extent necessary so that total annual operating expenses (excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and extraordinary and other non-routine expenses) for the Fund or any Class thereof do not exceed the amount listed on Schedule A hereto for the Fund or Class.

 

With respect to each of the Penn Capital Short Duration High Income Fund and Penn Capital Opportunistic High Income Fund, the Adviser hereby agrees to waive all or a portion of its advisory fees, and, if necessary, to assume certain other expenses (to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Fund or any Class thereof, to the extent necessary so that total annual operating expenses (including any acquired fund fees and expenses incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in other investment companies managed by the Advisor, but excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in unaffiliated investment companies, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and extraordinary and other non-routine expenses) for the Fund or any Class thereof do not exceed the amount listed on Schedule A hereto for the Fund or Class.

 

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, agrees to repay the Adviser any fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed for a Fund or a Class thereof in later periods; provided, however, that the repayment shall be payable only to the extent that it (1) can be made for a period of three years following the end of the month in which the waiver or assumption was made, and (2) can be repaid without causing the expenses of the Fund or Class to exceed any applicable fee waiver or expense limitation agreement that was in place for the Fund at the time the fees were waived or expenses were assumed.

 

The Trust agrees to furnish or otherwise make available to the Adviser such copies of its financial statements, reports, and other information relating to its business and affairs as the Adviser may, at any time or from time to time, reasonably request in connection with this Agreement.
