Unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to each Fund for a period of two years from the date of its execution, and thereafter shall continue in effect only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Board of Directors of the Company or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the directors of the Company who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons," as defined in the 1940 Act, of Adviser or of the Company cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. c.

• Extension of Termination Date (a) The Borrower may request an extension of the Termination Date in effect at such time by one year from its then scheduled expiration by giving notice of such request (an “Extension Request”) to the Agent. No more than two Extension Requests shall be delivered by the Borrower. Each such Extension Request shall indicate the date by which responses are requested (which shall not be less than ten Business Days after the date of such Extension Request). The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than the date indicated in such Extension Request, notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such Extension Request. If any Lender shall fail to timely notify the Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such Extension Request, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request. (b) If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the date indicated in the applicable Extension Request (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one year; provided that on each Extension Date the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied. If less than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date and subject to subsection (d) of this Section 2.19, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”). To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 and the Commitment(s) of such Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.19 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment(s) of such Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of the Termination Date. (c) If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, the Borrower may arrange for one or more Consenting Lenders or other Eligible Assignees approved by the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank as Assuming Lenders to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment(s) and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than $5,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided further that: (i) any such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such Non-Consenting Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Advances, if any, of such Non-Consenting Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid facility fees owing to such Non-Consenting Lender as of the effective date of such assignment; (ii) all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Non-Consenting Lender; and (iii) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 8.07(b) for such assignment shall have been paid; provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower and the Agent, (B) any such Consenting Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment and (C) each Non-Consenting Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall have delivered to the Agent any Note or Notes held by such Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, each such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged. (d) If (after giving effect to any assignments or assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.19) Lenders having Revolving Credit Commitments equal to at least 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Extension Date consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by execution or delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions in Article III, the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one-year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.19, and all references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Termination Date” shall, with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Termination Date as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Consenting Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

If the Representative elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Company and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in writing. If the sale to the Underwriters of the Securities, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because the Company shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 4(o), 5 and 9 hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

Unless terminated as provided in Section 14 below, this Agreement shall continue in effect as to each Fund until July 31, 2011 and thereafter from year to year only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by a majority of those trustees who are not interested persons of CAT or of Columbia WAM, voting in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by either the Board or vote of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding shares” of that Fund (which term as used throughout this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the definition of “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company” in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act).

The period of Executive’s employment by the Company from and after the Effective Date, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Employment Period,” it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as entitling Executive to continuation of his employment beyond the End Date and that any such continuation shall be subject to the agreement of the parties.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Trust or by Portfolio Manager at any time and without penalty upon sixty days written notice to the other party, which notice may be waived by the party entitled to it. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby provided that if the Investment Company Act requires that such amendment be approved by the vote of the Board, the Independent Trustees and/or the holders of the Trust’s or the Portfolio’s outstanding shareholders, such approval must be obtained before any such amendment may become effective. This Agreement shall terminate upon its assignment. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “assignment” and “interested person” shall have the meanings set forth in the Investment Company Act.

• Duration, Termination and Amendments of this Agreement This Agreement shall become effective as of the day and year first above written, shall govern the relations between the parties hereto thereafter and shall remain in force for a period of two years from its effectiveness, on which date it will terminate unless its continuance with respect to a Fund after that date is "specifically approved at least annually" (a) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Citi Management at a meeting specifically called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. This Agreement may be terminated at any time with respect to a Fund without the payment of any penalty by the Trustees or by the "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, or by the Manager, in each case on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice to the other party. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment." This Agreement may be amended with respect to a Fund only if such amendment is approved by the "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund (except for any such amendment as may be effected in the absence of such approval without violating the 1940 Act).

• Effective Date of Agreement and Termination This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto. This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing Date by you by notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred: (i) on or after the Applicable Time, any Material Adverse Effect occurs, which, in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for sale of the Securities, (ii) any new outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or material adverse change in the financial markets of the United States or elsewhere, or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis or emergency would, in the judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Company’s securities or in trading generally in securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities, the NASDAQ Stock Market or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or markets, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, (iv) any declaration of a general banking moratorium by federal, New York or Maryland authorities, (v) the taking of any action by any federal, state or local government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs that in your judgment has a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States, and would, in the judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities or (vi) the enactment, publication, decree, or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which would, in the judgment of the Representatives, have a Material Adverse Effect. The indemnities and contribution provisions and the other agreements, representations and warranties of the Company, its officers and directors and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any of the Underwriters or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any controlling person thereof, (ii) acceptance of the Securities and payment for them hereunder and (iii) termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to the Company’s securities) of the second paragraph of this Section 11 or because of the failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse you for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for all expenses which they have agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof. Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, the Underwriters, any Indemnified Person referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns, all as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The terms “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser of any of the Securities from any of the Underwriters merely because of such purchase.

• Effective Date of Termination Executive’s employment will terminate on the 30th day after Executive gives written notice to the Company stating that Executive is resigning his employment with the Company for any reason other than Good Reason, unless the Company waives in writing all or part of this notice period (in which case the termination of employment is effective as of the date of the waiver).
