and CITI FUND SERVICES OHIO, INC., formerly known as BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc., an Ohio

WHEREAS, Cavanal Hill Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Trust”), is an open-end

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, Citi performs certain sub-administration services for

WHEREAS, Citi and the Administrator wish to enter into this Amendment to the Agreement in
order to extend the term of the Agreement, revise the fees payable and incorporate the terms and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises
hereinafter contained and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the Administrator and Citi hereby agree as follows:
1. | Termination of Monthly Rollover Amendment. |
The Amendment between the Parties dated February 17, 2009 is of no further force or
effect.
2. | Schedule A – Term, Funds and Fees. |
Schedule A of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
attached Schedule A. As reflected in the Term portion of the attached Schedule A, the
original “Initial Term” under the Agreement ran from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2009.
The Parties now desire to reset the Initial Term for a three year period beginning July 1,
2009.
3. | Schedule B – Services. |
A new Section xxxi. is added to Schedule B of the Agreement as follows:
xxxi. From time to time, upon request of the Administrator, provide performance reporting

(d) | Coordination with the print vendor for final printing of the annual and semi-annual reports; and | ||
(e) | Creation of templates for, and preparation of reports to the Trust’s Board. |
4. | Limitation of Liability and Service Level Standards. | ||
The following paragraphs shall be added at the end of Article 5 of the Agreement: | |||
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, AND LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, EACH OF WHICH IS HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE INDEMNITIES IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH PARAGRAPHS OF ARTICLE 10 AND THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE A SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION. | |||
Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Citi shall provide the services described herein in accordance with the Service Level Standards set forth in Schedule C and shall be liable to the Trust for any failure to achieve such Service Level Standards as set forth therein. | |||
5. | Indemnification. |
The following paragraphs shall be added after the second paragraph of Article 10 of the
Agreement:
Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any
and all Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to third party claims
resulting from a party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations hereunder.
Citi shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrator harmless from and against any and
all Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to infringement, misappropriation
or a violation of the intellectual property rights of a third party with respect to Services
(for the purposes of Article 10, Services shall include software, hardware, system or other
intellectual property relating to the Services) provided by Citi hereunder; provided
that with respect to patent rights, such indemnity shall be limited to U.S. patent rights of
such third parties.
Citi’s infringement indemnification obligations under this Article 10 shall not extend to:
(i) the use of the Services outside the scope of this Agreement; (ii) any unauthorized
modification or use of the Services made by the Administrator, (iii) any customized portions
of the Services provided or designed in accordance with written specifications provided by
the Administrator, (iv) by the Administrator’s unreasonable continuation of allegedly
infringing activities after the Administrator having been notified thereof in writing and
Citi having provided or made available modifications to the Services that would have avoided
the further alleged infringement.
In the event the Services are held to infringe, or are believed by Citi to infringe, an
intellectual property right of a third party, Citi shall have the option, at its expense, to
(A) modify the Services to be non-infringing, (B) obtain for the Administrator (at no
additional cost to the Administrator) the right to continue using the Services, or (C)
replace the Services with non-infringing Services, provided that such modification
does not degrade the functionality of the Services.
The remedies specified in this Article 10 shall be the Administrator’s exclusive remedies
with respect to any third party infringement claims.
6. | Insurance. | ||
The following provision shall be added to the Agreement: | |||
Citi shall maintain a fidelity bond covering larceny and embezzlement in an amount that is appropriate in light of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. Citi shall maintain the following insurance coverage during the entire Term of this Agreement: (i) Workers’ Compensation Insurance in accordance with applicable laws of the state where Citi performs services and Employer’s Liability Insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, and (ii) Commercial General Liability Insurance covering bodily injury and property damage liability in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. | |||
Citi shall have the option, either alone or in conjunction with Citigroup, Citi’s ultimate parent corporation, or any subsidiaries or affiliates of Citigroup, to maintain self insurance and/or provide or maintain any insurance sufficient to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement under blanket insurance policies |
maintained by Citi or Citigroup, or provide or maintain insurance through such alternative risk management programs as Citigroup may provide or participate in from time to time (such types of insurance programs being herein collectively and severally referred to as “self insurance”), provided the same does not thereby decrease the insurance coverage or limits set forth in this Section. Any self insurance shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions applicable to such insurance as required in this Section. If Citi elects to self-insure, then, with respect to any claims which may result from incidents occurring during the terms of this Agreement, such self insurance obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement to the same extent as the insurance required would survive. | |||
7. | Representations and Warranties. |
(a) The Administrator represents (i) that it has full power and authority to enter into
and perform this Amendment and (ii) that this Amendment will be presented to the Board of
Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) for the Board’s review and approval.
(b) Citi represents that it has full power and authority to enter into and perform this
Amendment.
8. | Miscellaneous. |

this Amendment supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements bearing upon
the subject matter covered herein, including any conflicting provisions of the Agreement or
any provisions of the Agreement that directly cover or indirectly bear upon matters covered
under this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.
(b) Each reference to the Agreement in the Agreement (as it existed prior to this
Amendment) and in every other agreement, contract or instrument to which the parties are
bound, shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Agreement as amended by this
Amendment. Except as provided in this Amendment, the provisions of the Agreement remain in
full force and effect. No amendment or modification to this Amendment shall be valid unless
made in writing and executed by both parties hereto.
(c) Paragraph headings in this Amendment are included for convenience only and are not
to be used to construe or interpret this Amendment.
(d) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original
but all which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
* * * * *
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed all as
of the day and year first above written with an Effective Date (as set forth in the new Term
provision) of July 1, 2009.

GRAND TOTAL — MARKETING DOCUMENTS & FEES |
$ | 59,200 |
(1) | The annual fee for the Monthly and/or Quarterly services may alter based on the total number of pages produced for a given period. |
General
The fee for the period from the day of the month this Agreement is entered into until the end
of that month shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full
monthly period. In the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms
before the end of any month, the fee for such part of a month shall be prorated according to the
proportion which such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of
termination of this Agreement.
For purposes of determining the fees payable to the Sub-Administrator, the value of the net
assets of a particular Portfolio shall be computed in the manner described in the Trust’s
Declaration of Trust or in the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information respecting that
Portfolio as from time to time is in effect for the computation of the value of such net assets in
connection with the determination of the liquidating value of the shares of such Portfolio.
The parties hereby confirm that the fees payable hereunder shall be applied to each Portfolio
as a whole, and not to separate classes of shares within the Portfolios.
The Sub-Administrator may agree, from time to time, to waive any fees payable under this
Agreement. Such waiver shall be at the Sub-Administrator’s sole discretion.
Term
Pursuant to Article 7, the term of this Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2009 (the
“Effective Date”) and shall remain in effect for three (3) years, until June 30, 2012 (“Initial
Term”). Thereafter, unless otherwise terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall be
renewed automatically for successive one year periods (“Rollover Periods”). This Agreement may be
terminated without penalty (i) by provision of a notice of non-renewal in the manner set forth
below, (ii) by mutual agreement of the parties or (iii) by either party for “cause,” as defined
below, upon the provision of sixty (60) days advance written notice by the party alleging cause.
Written notice of non-renewal must be provided at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the
Initial Term or any Rollover Period, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon termination of the Administration
Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall mean (a) a material breach of this Agreement
that has not been remedied for thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach from the
non-breaching party; (b) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling or
order in which the party to be terminated has been found guilty of criminal or unethical behavior
in the conduct of its business; or (c) financial difficulties on the part of the party to be
terminated which are evidenced by the authorization or commencement of, or involvement by way of
pleading, answer, consent or acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the
United States Code, as from time to time is in effect, or any applicable law, other than said Title
11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the
modification or alteration of the rights of creditors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after such termination for so long as the Sub-Administrator,
with the written consent of the Administrator, in fact continues to perform any one or more of the
services contemplated by this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit hereto, the provisions of this
Agreement, including without limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification, shall continue
in full force and effect. Compensation due the Sub-Administrator and unpaid by the Administrator
upon such termination shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such
termination. The Sub-Administrator shall be entitled to collect from the Administrator, in
addition to the compensation described in this Schedule A, the amount of all of the
Sub-Administrator’s cash disbursements for services in
connection with the Sub-Administrator’s
activities in effecting such termination, including without limitation, the delivery to the
Administrator’s and/or its designees of the Administrator’s property, records, instruments and
documents, or any copies thereof. Subsequent to such termination, for a reasonable fee, the
Sub-Administrator will provide the Administrator with reasonable access to any documents or records
remaining in its possession.
During the Initial Term, if for any reason other than non-renewal, mutual agreement of the
parties or “cause”, as defined above, the Sub-Administrator is terminated or replaced as
Sub-Administrator, or if a third party is added to perform all or a part of the administrative
services provided by the Sub-Administrator under this Agreement (excluding any sub-contractors
appointed by the Sub-Administrator as provided in Article 8 hereof), then the Administrator shall
make a one-time cash payment, as liquidated damages, to the Sub-Administrator equal to the balance
due the Sub-Administrator under this Agreement for the lesser of (A) the next six months of the
Initial Term or (B) the remainder of such Initial Term, assuming for purposes of calculation of the
payment that the fees would be earned by Sub-Administrator shall be based upon the average net
asset values of the Trust and fees payable to Citi monthly during the twelve (12) months prior to
the date that services terminate, Citi is replaced or a third party is added; provided, however,
that, in the event the Sub-Administrator is terminated or replaced or a third party is added to
perform services at any time after June 30, 2012, the Administrator shall not be required to make a
liquidated damages payment.
In the event the Trust is merged into another legal entity in part or in whole pursuant to any
form of business reorganization or is liquidated in part or in whole prior to the expiration of the
then-current term of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages
set forth above shall be applicable in those instances in which the Sub-Administrator is not
retained to provide administration services. Under such circumstances, the one-time cash payment
referenced above shall be due and payable on the day prior to the first day during which assets are
transferred pursuant to the plan of reorganization or liquidation.
The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event the Sub-Administrator ceases to
be retained, as set forth above, (i) a determination of actual damages incurred by the
Sub-Administrator would be extremely difficult and (ii) the liquidated damages provision contained
herein is intended to adequately compensate the Sub-Administrator for damages incurred and is not
intended to constitute any form of penalty.
