Amendment of Schedules Each party hereto agrees that, with respect to the representations and warranties of such party contained in this Agreement, such party shall have the continuing obligation until 24 hours prior to the anticipated effectiveness of the Registration Statement to supplement or amend promptly the Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which, if existing or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules, provided however, that supplements and amendments to Schedules 5.10, 5.11, 5.14 and 5.15 shall only have to be delivered at the Closing Date, unless such Schedule is to be amended to reflect an event occurring other than in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no amendment or supplement to a Schedule prepared by the Company that constitutes or reflects an event or occurrence that would have a Material Adverse Effect may be made unless TCI and a majority of the Founding Companies other than the Company consent to such amendment or supplement; and provided further, that no amendment or supplement to a Schedule prepared by TCI or Newco that constitutes or reflects an event or occurrence that would have a Material Adverse Effect may be made unless a majority of the Founding Companies consent to such amendment or supplement. For all purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 have been fulfilled, the Schedules hereto shall be deemed to be the Schedules as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Section 7.8. In the event that one of the Other Founding Companies seeks to amend or supplement a Schedule pursuant to Section 7.8 of one of the Other Agreements, and such amendment or supplement constitutes or reflects an event or occurrence that would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Other Founding Company, TCI shall give the Company notice promptly after it has knowledge thereof. If TCI and a majority of the Founding Companies (other than the Founding Company seeking to amend or supplement a Schedule) consent to such amendment or supplement, which consent shall have been deemed given by TCI or any Founding Company if no response is received within 24 hours following receipt of notice of such amendment or supplement (or sooner if required by the circumstances under which such consent is requested), but the Company does not give its consent, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(iv) hereof. In the event that the Company seeks to amend or supplement a Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.8, and TCI and a majority of the Other Founding Companies do not consent to such amendment or supplement, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated by mutual consent as set forth in Section 12.1(i) hereof. In the event that TCI or Newco seeks to amend or supplement a Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.8 and a majority of the Founding Companies do not consent to such amendment or supplement, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated by mutual consent as set forth in Section 12.1(i) hereof. No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any other party if this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.8. No amendment of or supplement to a Schedule shall be made later than 24 hours prior to the anticipated effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
Amendment of Schedule A Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and inserting in lieu therefor the Schedule A attached hereto.
Amendment of Agreement This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and only in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Term of Agreement; Amendment; Assignment A. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Fund listed on Exhibit A hereof as of the date hereof and, with respect to each Fund not in existence on that date, on the date an amendment to Exhibit A to this Agreement relating to that Fund is executed. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from the date hereof. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect automatically as to each Fund for successive one-year periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (i) the Trust’s Board, or (ii) the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, and provided that in either event, the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Trust’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated, without the payment of any penalty, with respect to a particular Fund: (i) through a failure to renew this Agreement at the end of a term, (ii) upon mutual consent of the parties, or (iii) upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, by either the Trust upon the vote of a majority of the members of its Board who are not “interested persons” of the Trust and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement, or by vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, or by the Distributor. The terms of this Agreement shall not be waived, altered, modified, amended or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by the Distributor and the Trust. If required under the 1940 Act, any such amendment must be approved by the Trust’s Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting for the purpose of voting on such amendment. In the event that such amendment affects the Advisor, the written instrument shall also be signed by the Advisor. This Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment.”
C. As used in this Section, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “interested person,” and “assignment” shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the 1940 Act.
D. Sections 7 and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Waiver and Amendments Any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.
Amendment of PHI Business Associate shall make any amendments to PHI in a Designated Record Set that Covered Entity directs or agrees to pursuant to 45 CFR § 164.526, whether at the request of Covered Entity or an Individual.

Within three (3) business days, Business Associate shall forward to Covered Entity for handling any request for amendment to PHI that Business Associate directly receives from an Individual.
Waiver and Amendment Any provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefits of such provision.

Term of Agreement; Amendment This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above and will continue in effect for a period of three (3) years. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving 90 days prior written notice to the other party or such shorter period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by any party upon the breach of the other party of any material term of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within 15 days of notice of such breach to the breaching party. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by written agreement executed by USBFS and the Trust, and authorized or approved by the Board of Trustees.
