(a) CFS or the Fund may terminate this Agreement upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other party. In the event the Fund terminates this Agreement due to a material breach of this Agreement by CFS, all obligations of the Fund under this Agreement immediately shall terminate and the Fund shall not be responsible for paying any fee or for reimbursing any expense of CFS incurred hereunder (except as provided in Sections 10 hereof). For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that the termination of this Agreement by the Fund shall not operate as a termination of this Agreement with respect to any other Fund managed by the Adviser unless explicitly stated.

Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by a written instrument duly executed by such party.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY. CFS and the Fund each acknowledges that it may obtain certain confidential information of the other party to this Agreement and, in the case of CFS, of a Fund or its Shareholders, during the performance of its duties under this Agreement and each party hereto agrees to treat all such confidential information as proprietary information of the applicable party and to keep such information confidential by using the same care and discretion it uses with respect to its own confidential information, property and trade secrets, provided that a party may disclose confidential information if (i) such information is or becomes generally known by the public, absent breach by a party of its obligations hereunder, (ii) such information is or becomes otherwise known or developed by a party without reference to information provided (absent breach by a party of its obligations hereunder) by or on behalf of any other party or any of its affiliates, (iii) disclosed in a legal proceeding relating to the enforcement of this Agreement, (iv) such disclosure is approved in writing by the applicable party to which the confidential information relates or originates, or (v) such disclosure is required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations, or such disclosure is made in response to a valid request by a regulatory authority. CFS confirms that it is aware that securities laws of various jurisdictions restrict persons from trading in securities of a company while in possession of material non-public information regarding such company, and from communicating such information to a person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person may trade in such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is required or requested to disclose confidential information of another party pursuant to (v) above, such party shall, if permitted by applicable law: as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one business day) notify the other party to this Agreement in order to provide such party the opportunity to pursue such legal or other action as such party may desire to prevent or limit the release of such confidential information, and such party agrees to provide reasonable assistance to any party seeking to prevent or limit the release of such confidential information, at the expense of the requesting party.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State.

(a) In compliance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, CFS hereby agrees that all records which it may maintain for the Fund are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon request, provided that each may retain copies of all records that it is required to maintain under applicable laws, rules or regulations.

(b) CFS hereby agrees to furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite authority any information or reports in connection with services that CFS renders pursuant to this Agreement which may be requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the Fund and/or the applicable Fund are being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations. Subject to the proviso below, if CFS is required or requested to provide any information or reports to regulatory authorities, CFS shall as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one business day) notify the Fund in order to provide the Fund the opportunity to pursue such legal or other action as it may desire to prevent the release of the information or reports, and CFS agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Fund in seeking to prevent the release of the information, in each case provided such disclosure by CFS is not prohibited by applicable law.

17. BENEFIT TO OTHERS. The understandings contained in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and, except as otherwise provided herein, they shall not be construed as conferring, and are not intended to confer, any rights on any other persons except as specifically provided herein.

19. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as signatories. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or as a .pdf attachment to an e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including all Annexes and Exhibits hereto) contains the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express terms hereof (including all Annexes and Exhibits hereto) control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

21. WAIVERS. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to this Agreement to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.
