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 and Oakmark International 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 defined in the Advisory Agreement) for each Fund as set forth on Appendix B from January 29, 2018 to January 28, 2019.

 

2.              This letter agreement shall remain in effect until January 28, 2019.  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.

 

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.
