Fee Waiver by DFA. DFA agrees to reduce all or a portion of its management fee for each Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares listed on Schedule A, such fee waiver as detailed on Schedule A of this Agreement, to the extent
necessary to limit the annualized expenses of each Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares to the rate reflected in Schedule A of this Agreement (“Annualized Expense Ratio”).
|
| 2. |
Duty to Reimburse DFA. If, at any time, the annualized expenses of a Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares are less than the Annualized Expense Ratio listed on Schedule A of this Agreement, the Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio’s
Institutional Class shares, shall reimburse DFA for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the amount of such reimbursement does not cause the Annualized Expense Ratio of a Portfolio’s Institutional
Class shares to exceed the limit on Schedule A of this Agreement. There shall be no obligation of the Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio, to reimburse DFA for waived fees or expenses that were assumed by DFA more than thirty-six months prior to
the date of any such reimbursement.

Duration and Termination. This Agreement shall begin on February 28, 2026, and shall continue in effect until February 28, 2027 for each Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares and shall continue in effect from year to year
thereafter, unless and until the Fund or DFA notifies the other party to the Agreement, at least thirty days prior to the end of the one-year period for each Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares, of its intention to terminate the Agreement
for the class. This Agreement shall automatically terminate, with respect to a Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares, upon the termination of the Management Agreement between DFA and the Fund, on behalf of such Portfolio’s Institutional
Class shares.

For the Global Equity Portfolio, Global Allocation 60/40 Portfolio and Global Allocation 25/75 Portfolio, in order to limit the total management fees received by DFA, DFA has agreed to waive the management fee each Portfolio pays to DFA to
the extent necessary to limit the proportionate share of the total combined management fee paid by each Portfolio and management fees paid by each Portfolio’s underlying funds (except for management fees paid by The DFA Short Term Investment
Fund in connection with securities lending cash collateral investment) to DFA to 0.20% for the Global Equity Portfolio, to 0.19% for the Global Allocation 60/40 Portfolio and to 0.18% for the Global Allocation 25/75 Portfolio. The maximum
amount waived under this waiver is the full amount of a Portfolio’s management fee to DFA.
