• Termination; Amendment a. In addition to the automatic termination of this Agreement specified in Section 1.c. of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement may unilaterally cancel its participation in this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. In addition, each party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the other party of that other party's material breach of this Agreement. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given and to be effective on the date on which it was either delivered personally to the other party or any officer or member thereof, or was mailed postpaid or delivered to a telegraph office for transmission to the other party's designated person at the addresses shown herein or in the most recent NASD Manual. b. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the appointment of a Trustee under the Securities Investor Protection Act or any other act of insolvency by Dealer. c. The termination of this Agreement by any of the foregoing means shall have no effect upon transactions entered into prior to the effective date of termination and shall not relieve Dealer of its obligations, duties and indemnities specified in this Agreement. A trade placed by Dealer subsequent to its voluntary termination of this Agreement will not serve to reinstate the Agreement. Reinstatement, except in the case of a temporary suspension of Dealer, will only be effective upon written notification by Distributor. d. This Agreement is not assignable or transferable and will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder. The Distributor may, however, transfer any of its duties under this Agreement to any entity that controls or is under common control with Distributor. e. This Agreement may be amended by Distributor at any time by written notice to Dealer. Dealer's placing of an order or accepting payment of any kind after the effective date and receipt of notice of such amendment shall constitute Dealer's acceptance of such amendment.

• Term; Termination; Amendment This Agreement shall become effective and shall run for an initial period as specified for each Fund in Schedule A hereto. This Agreement shall continue in force from year to year after the initial period with respect to each Fund, but only as long as such continuance is specifically approved for each Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if the continuation of this Agreement is not approved for each Fund, the Sub-Adviser may continue to serve in such capacity for each Fund in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by either party on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser. This Agreement may also be terminated by the Trust with respect to each Fund by action of the Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser by the Trust. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to each Fund at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Manager, the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Sub-Adviser or any officer or director of the Sub-Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of the covenants of the Sub-Adviser set forth herein. The terms “assignment” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the Sub-Adviser to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation described in Section 4 earned prior to such termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event the Investment Management Agreement between the Manager and the Trust is terminated, assigned or not renewed. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by an authorized representative of each of the parties.

• Duration, Amendment and Termination This Agreement, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall remain in effect until two years from date of execution, and thereafter, for periods of one year so long as such continuance thereafter is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Portfolio; provided, however, that if the shareholders of any Portfolio fail to approve the Agreement as provided herein, the Adviser may continue to serve hereunder in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder. The foregoing requirement that continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission. This Agreement may be terminated as to any Portfolio at any time, without the payment of any penalty by vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio on not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice to the Adviser, or by the Adviser at any time without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days written notice to the Trust. This Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in writing, addressed and delivered, or mailed postpaid, to the other party at any office of such party. As used in this Section 12, the terms "assignment," "interested persons," and a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the respective meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Commission under said Act.

• Extension Amendment Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among Holdings, the Loan Parties, the Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.10(a) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent, receipt by the Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Original Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Financing Agreements. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.2 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.2), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.3 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 12.3(g) (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.10, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Original Class, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent and any applicable Additional Arranger administering the Original Class (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each Lender who has Loans or Commitments of the Original Class) in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Arranger (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the terms of the proposed Extended Class, as applicable, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Original Class, except for Section 2.23 Additional Agreements or as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.23 and except (w) the maturity date of the Extended Class may be delayed to a date after the Maturity Date of the Original Class, (x) Extended Term Loans may have different amortization payments than the Original Term Loans; provided that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Original Term Loans from which they were converted, (y) All-In Yield with respect to any Loans or Commitments of the Extended Class may be higher or lower than the All-In Yield with respect to any Loans or Commitments of the Original Class and (z)(A) the Extended Term Loans (i) may participate on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans (except that, unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement, such Extended Term Loans may not participate on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any earlier maturing Class of Term Loans) and (ii) may participate on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, and (B) the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (i) shall provide that the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (ii) below)) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Extended Facility Closing Date shall be made on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not more than a pro rata basis) with all other Revolving Credit Commitments then existing on the Extended Facility Closing Date and (ii) may provide that the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination or reduction of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Extended Facility Closing Date be made on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments. In addition to any other terms and changes required or permitted by this Section 2.23, each Extension Amendment establishing a Class of Extended Term Loans shall amend the scheduled amortization payments provided under Section 2.11 with respect to the related Non-Extended Term Loans to reduce each scheduled installment for such Non-Extended Term Loans to an aggregate amount equal to the product of (A) the original aggregate amount of such installment with respect to the Original Term Loans, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such related Non-Extended Term Loans and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such Original Term Loans prior to the effectiveness of such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any installment payable with respect to any individual Non-Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof without the consent of the holder of such individual Non-Extended Term Loan). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Original Term Loans or Original Revolving Credit Commitments converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
