The expense caps above account for management fees payable to Natixis Advisors. Loomis Sayles and Natixis Advisors have agreed to equally bear the waiver.

With respect to the Funds, subject to applicable legal requirements, Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover, on a class-by-class basis, management fees reduced and/or any expenses it has borne subsequent to the effective date of this Letter Agreement in later periods to the extent that a class’ total annual fund operating expenses fall below the annual rates set forth above; provided, however, that Loomis Sayles is not entitled to recover any such reduced


Exhibit (h)(6)

fees and expenses with respect to a class more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee/expense was waived/reimbursed.

For purposes of determining any such waiver or expense reimbursement, expenses of the class of the Funds shall not reflect the application of balance credits made available by the Funds’ custodian or arrangements under which broker-dealers that execute portfolio transactions for each Fund agree to bear some portion of that Fund’s expenses.

We understand and intend that you will rely on this undertaking in preparing and filing the Registration Statement on Form N-1A for the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accruing the Fund’s expenses for purposes of calculating its net asset value per share, and for other purposes permitted under Form N-1A and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and expressly permit you to do so.
