WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Adviser serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to the terms and provisions of an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser dated November 8, 2012, as amended from time to time (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser is entitled to a fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement in exchange for providing advisory and other services, and paying all of the Trust's expenses except those specifically excluded therein ("Advisory Fee"); and
