Re:        Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement

 

With reference to each Investment Advisory Agreement set forth on Appendix A (each, the “Advisory Agreement”) entered into by and between Harris Associates L.P. (the “Adviser”) and Harris Associates Investment Trust (the “Trust”) on behalf of each of Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund, Oakmark International Fund and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, each a series of the Trust (each, a “Fund”), we agree as follows:

 

1. The Adviser agrees to waive a portion of its advisory fee (as described in each Advisory Agreement’s Fee Schedule) for each Fund as set forth on Appendix B from December 15, 2020 to January 27, 2022. 
   
2. This letter agreement shall remain in effect until January 27, 2022. During the period covered by this letter agreement, the fee waiver arrangement set forth herein for each Fund may only be modified by mutual agreement of the parties that, with respect to the Trust, includes a majority vote of the “non-interested” Trustees of the Trust. This letter agreement shall be binding upon any successors and assigns of the Adviser and supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof as of December 15, 2020.
   
3. Neither the Trust nor any Fund will be required to reimburse the Adviser for amounts waived by the Adviser pursuant to this letter agreement. 
   
4. We understand that the Trust will rely on this undertaking in preparing and filing Post-Effective Amendments to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A for the Trust and each Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accruing each Fund’s expenses for purposes of calculating its net and gross asset value per share, and for other purposes permitted under Form N-1A and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and we expressly permit the Trust to so rely.
