Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption by Dimensional. Dimensional agrees to waive all or a portion of its management fee and assume the ordinary operating expenses of the ETF Class of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to reduce the
ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) so that the Portfolio Expenses of the ETF Class, on an annualized basis, do not exceed 0.08% of the average net
assets of the ETF Class of the Portfolio (“Annualized Expense Ratio”).
|
| 2. |
Duty to Reimburse Dimensional. If, at any time, the annualized expenses of the ETF Class of the Portfolio are less than the Annualized Expense Ratio, the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, shall reimburse Dimensional for any fees
previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the amount of such reimbursement does not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for the ETF Class of the Portfolio to exceed the Annualized Expense Ratio. There shall
be no obligation of the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, to reimburse Dimensional for fees waived or expenses previously assumed by Dimensional more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of any such reimbursement.
|

Assignment. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by Dimensional without the prior consent of the Fund.

Duration and Termination. This Agreement shall begin on January 7, 2026, and shall continue in effect until February 28, 2027 for the ETF Class of the Portfolio and shall
continue in effect from year to year thereafter for the ETF Class of the Portfolio, unless and until the Fund or Dimensional notifies the other party to the Agreement, at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the one-year period, of its
intention to terminate the Agreement for the ETF Class of the Portfolio. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Investment Management Agreement between Dimensional and the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio.
