Expense Limitation Agreement

 

To: Mutual Fund Series Trust
17605 Wright Street
Omaha, NE 68130

 

Dear Board Members:

 

You have engaged Catalyst Capital Advisors LLC (‘Catalyst”) to act as the sole investment adviser to the Catalyst Funds listed on Exhibit A (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) pursuant to a Management Agreement dated as of July 31, 2006 (the “Agreement”) as amended.

 

Catalyst hereby contractually agrees to waive management fees and/or reimburse the Funds for expenses they incur, but only to the extent necessary to maintain each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; underlying fund expenses; and extraordinary expenses, such as regulatory inquiry and litigation expenses) at the percentage of average daily net assets and term as stated in Exhibit A for each Fund.

 

This agreement shall remain in effect for a Fund until at least the date set forth on Exhibit A, unless terminated sooner as provided herein, and shall continue in effect for successive twelve-month periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved by a majority of the Trustees of the Mutual Fund Series Trust (the “Trust”). This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees on 60 days’ written notice to Catalyst and upon the termination of the Management Agreement between the Trust and Catalyst.

 

Any waiver or reimbursement by us is subject to repayment by the applicable Fund within the three fiscal years following the date of the waiver and/or reimbursement, so long as such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both: (i) the Fund’s expense limitation at the time such expenses were waived and (ii) the Fund’s current expense limitation at the time of recoupment.

 

Dated: November 20, 2018

Very truly yours,
