VIII.
WARRANTY
CAG warrants that it is under no obligation to any other entity that in any way is in conflict with this Agreement and that it is free to enter into this Agreement.
EFFECTIVE DATE, TERM AND TERMINATION
A.
Effective Date and Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the date first above written and shall continue for a period of one (1) year (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall automatically continue for successive one year periods (a "Renewal Term") subject to approval of the Board of the Trust, including approval by a majority of the Independent Trustees. However, fees shall not commence accruing until the commencement of investment operations of a Fund.
B.
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (i) at the end of the Initial Term (or Renewal Term) by either party by providing at least ninety (90) days written notice prior to the commencement of a Renewal Term, (ii) in accordance with Section X as a result of the removal of the Chief Compliance Officer, or (iii) upon written notice of a material breach, provided that a party shall have 30 days to remedy a
9
material breach. In the event of termination, CAG agrees that it will cooperate in the smooth transition of services and to minimize disruption to the Trust and its shareholders.
C.
Fees Resulting from Termination. Except in the event of a termination (i) by the Trust due to an uncured material breach by CAG or (ii) pursuant to Section X(b) or X(d), the Trust shall pay CAG all compensation and fees owing through the Initial Term, or any Renewal Term, as applicable, on the date of termination or the date that the provision of services cease, whichever is later. For a termination (i) by the Trust due to an uncured material breach by CAG or (ii) pursuant to Section X(b) or X(d), the Trust shall pay CAG all compensation and fees owing through the date of termination or the date that the provision of services ceases, whichever is later.
D.

X.
EXCEPTIONS RESULTING FROM BOARD ACTION UNDER RULE 38a-1
A.
Termination. If the Board dismisses the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, this Agreement will either end immediately (subject to the provisions of Section IX) or, at the discretion of both parties, CAG may present an alternative Chief Compliance Officer for Board consideration and approval to continue the Chief Compliance Officer duties set forth under this Agreement.
B.
Prevention of Termination. If CAG wishes to dismiss the Chief Compliance Officer under the terms of CAG's arrangement with the Chief Compliance Officer, CAG will present its plan of action to the Board prior to taking such action. Under such circumstances CAG may, at its own discretion, offer to present another Chief Compliance Officer candidate to the Board that would work through CAG. If the Board approves the new Chief Compliance Officer, the contract would continue as amended to reflect the new Chief Compliance Officer. If, the Board chooses to engage its own Chief Compliance Officer as a result of CAG dismissing the Chief Compliance Officer under this Agreement, the contract with CAG would end, and the Trust would pay CAG 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.
C.
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 CAG by the Trust will increase proportionately for any amounts it deems due to the Chief Compliance Officer above the amounts due to CAG under this
10
Agreement. Any attempt by the Board to reduce the salary of the Chief Compliance Officer would be contrary to the terms of this Agreement.
D.
Resignation by Chief Compliance Officer. If the Chief Compliance Officer voluntarily resigns, at the discretion of both parties, CAG may 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 CAG as a result of such voluntary resignation by the Chief Compliance Officer, this Agreement would end, and the Trust would pay CAG 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. CAG will make every effort to assist the Board in a smooth transition during this period.
