Each Service Provider is responsible for proper development and implementation of its policies and procedures. Although NLCS performs a review of each Service Provider's policies and procedures, NLCS cannot ensure that all necessary policies are adopted and implemented by such Service Provider.

Phase II -Amending and Drafting of Policies and Procedures for the Trust

Based on the analysis performed under Phase I of the engagement, NLCS will recommend amendments and draft policies and procedures for the Trust intended to address areas of weakness identified in Phase I, including amending the policies and procedures as they pertain to:

I. Consistency with regulatory expectations of risk based policies and procedures;

Maintaining compliance with the SEC's regulations, under Rule 38a-l under the Investment Company Act; and

Consistency within the structure, organization, and format of the policies and procedures.

Any amendments to the Trust's policies and procedures drafted by NLCS will be based on industry best practices and regulatory pronouncements. Upon completion of Phase II, the Trust will have customized policies and procedures that are designed to assist the Trust in complying with Rule 38a-l under the Investment Company Act. These procedures will be compiled in a manual that also will describe the overall implementation of the Trust's Compliance Program (the "Compliance Program Manual"). This Compliance Program Manual will serve as the Trust's primary policy and procedures manual.

Phase III - Ongoing Monitoring and Board Reporting

Once the Trust's Compliance Program Manual is complete, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, (as provided by NLCS - see Section 2 below) will present it to the Board of

Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") for Approval.

Thereafter, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer will create any appropriate records and monitor the Trust's Compliance Program for effectiveness, including ongoing dialogue with key compliance personnel at the Trust's Service Providers.

The Trust's Chief Compliance Officer will conduct an annual review to assess compliance with the Trust's Compliance Program and its overall effectiveness, and will prepare a written report to the Board annually that addresses the operation of the policies and procedures of the Trust and its Service Providers, any material changes made to those policies and procedures since the date of the last rep011, and any material changes to the policies and procedures recommended as a result of the annual review, and each "Material Compliance Matter" as defined in Rule 38a-1 of the Investment Company Act.

STAFFING

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NLCS will provide the services of the individual identified on the attached Schedule B, as may be amended from time to time by NLCS in its sole discretion (the "Chief Compliance Officer"), who shall be appointed by the Board as the Chief Compliance Officer for the Trust and each Fund of the Trust. In addition, NLCS will provide support staff to the Chief Compliance Officer to assist him in all aspects of his duties under this Agreement. The Chief Compliance Officer will lead the engagement and will have overall supervisory responsibility for the ongoing obligations hereunder.

ENGAGEMENT TIMELINE AND SCOPE

The timeline for this engagement, although subject to change, will be as follows:

NLCS shall act as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Trust. NLCS shall make no representation as an agent of the Trust, except that the Chief Compliance Officer shall act as an appointed officer of the Trust and shall be empowered with full responsibility and authority to develop and enforce appropriate policies and procedures for the Trust.

NLCS does not offer legal or accounting services and does not purport to replace the services provided by legal counsel or that of a certified public accountant.

The representatives of NLCS are experts, and as such will make every reasonable effort to provide the services described in this Agreement. However, there is no guarantee that work performed by NLCS will be favorably received by any regulatory agency.

Though NLCS' work may involve analysis of accounting and financial records, at no time will work performed by NLCS be deemed to be an audit of the Trust in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or otherwise, nor will any work performed by NLCS consist of a review of the internal controls of the Trust.

Except to the extent necessary to perform NLCS's obligations under this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict NLCS's right, or the right of any of NLCS's managers, officers or employees who also may be a director, trustee, officer or employee of the Trust or a Fund (including, without limitation, the Chief Compliance Officer), or who are otherwise affiliated persons of the Trust or a Fund, to engage in any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, company, firm, trust, association or individual.

CONFIDENTIALITY

NLCS and the Trust agree that all books, records, information, and data pertaining to the business of the other party, any Fund, or any Service Provider that is exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except that NLCS may release such information to the Board as contemplated by this Agreement and as permitted or required by law or approved in writing by the Trust, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where NLCS may be exposed to civil or criminal liability or proceedings for failure to release such information. This provision shall not preclude NLCS from sharing its compliance reports about

the Trust with other service providers to the Trust.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, in accordance with Title 17, Chapter II, part 248 of the Code of Federal Regulations (17 CPR 248.1 - 248.30) ("Reg S-P"), NLCS will not directly, or indirectly through an affiliate, disclose any non-public personal information as defined in Reg S-P, received from the Trust, any Fund, or any Service Provider to any person that is not affiliated with the Trust, such Fund, or such Service Provider; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, NLCS may disclose such information to an affiliate of NLCS if, but only to the extent, such affiliate has agreed to be bound by the same limits on non-disclosure as set forth herein.

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Trust and/or with respect to any Fund by the Board, by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust, or by NLCS at any time and for any reason upon not less than sixty (60) days' advanced written notice; or upon written notice from either party of a material breach, provided that a party shall have a thirty (30) day cure period in which to remedy any claimed material breach.

The provisions of Sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 1l(F), and 13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

12.

EXCEPTIONS RESULTING FROM BOARD ACTION

Termination. If the Board dismisses the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, this Agreement will either end immediately (subject to the provisions of Section 11) or, at the discretion of both parties, NLCS may present an alternative Chief Compliance Officer for Board consideration and approval to continue the Chief Compliance Officer duties set forth under this Agreement.

Prevention of Termination. If NLCS wishes to dismiss the Chief Compliance Officer under the terms of NLCS's arrangement with the Chief Compliance Officer, NLCS, to the extent possible, will present its plan of action to the Board prior to taking such action. Under such circumstances, NLCS may, at its own discretion, offer to present another Chief Compliance Officer candidate to the Board that would work through NLCS. If the Board approves the new Chief Compliance Officer, this Agreement will continue and be deemed amended to reflect the new Chief Compliance Officer. If the Board chooses to engage its own chief compliance officer as a result of NLCS dismissing the Chief Compliance Officer under this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate, and the Trust will be obligated to pay NLCS only for fees and out-of-pocket expenses accrued up to the point in time when the Board's new chief compliance officer officially assumes responsibility.

Change in Compensation. If the Board decides to increase the Chief Compliance Officer's compensation or provide a bonus to the Chief Compliance Officer, then the fees paid to NLCS by the Trust will increase prop01iionately for any amounts it deems due to the Chief Compliance Officer above the amounts due to NLCS under this Agreement.

Resignation by Chief Compliance Officer. If the Chief Compliance Officer voluntarily resigns, NLCS may, but shall not be obligated to, present an alternative Chief Compliance Officer for Board consideration and approval to continue Chief

Compliance Officer duties under this Agreement. If the Board chooses to end its relationship with NLCS as a result of such voluntary resignation by the Chief Compliance Officer, this Agreement will terminate, and the Trust will be obligated to pay NLCS only for fees and out-of-pocket expenses accrued up to the point in time when the Chief Compliance Officer's resignation becomes effective.

13.
