WHEREAS, the Trust and the Administrator entered into an Administration Agreement dated as of September 10, 2014 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Administrator desire to amend the Agreement as more particularly set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
l. | Additional Fund. Effective as of the Effective Date and in accordance with Section l of the Agreement, the Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the addition of the following entity as a Fund under the Agreement (the “New Fund”): |
a. | iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF |
By execution of this Amendment, from and after the Effective Date the New Fund hereby agrees (a) to become bound by all of the terms and conditions and provisions of the Agreement as a Fund including, without limitation, the representations and warranties set forth therein and (b) adopts the Agreement with the same force and effect as if such New Fund was originally a party thereto.
2. | Section 12 (Effective Period and Termination) is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of the first paragraph and replacing it with the following: |
“This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term ending June 30, 2028 (the “Initial Term”).”
3. | The following section is hereby added to the Agreement as Section 24: |
“24. | DELEGATION |
a. The Administrator shall have the right, without the consent or approval of the Trust, to employ agents, subcontractors, consultants and other third parties, whether affiliated or unaffiliated, to provide or assist it in the provision of any part of the services stated herein other than services required by applicable law to be performed by the Administrator (each, a “Delegate” and collectively, the “Delegates”), without the consent or approval of the Trust. The Administrator shall

be responsible for the services delivered by, and the acts and omissions of, any such Delegate as if the Administrator had provided such services and committed such acts and omissions itself. Unless otherwise agreed in a Fee Schedule, the Administrator shall be responsible for the compensation of its Delegates.
b. The Administrator will provide the Trust with information regarding its global operating model for the delivery of the services on a quarterly or other periodic basis, which information shall include the identities of Delegates affiliated with the Administrator that perform or may perform parts of the services, and the locations from which such Delegates perform services, as well as such other information about its Delegates as the Trust may reasonably request from time to time.
c. With respect to the Fund Administration Tax Services as set forth on Schedule B2 attached hereto, the Trust acknowledges and agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrator a tax delegation consent in the form set forth as Schedule B2(i) hereto, with such changes as the Administrator may require from time to time. While the parties anticipate that such consent will be valid as long as the Agreement remains in effect, in the event the Trust revokes its consent at any time or does not provided its consent as required hereunder, the Trust acknowledges and agrees that the Administrator may, without liability or prior notice, cease performing any or all of the Fund Administration Tax Services and may renegotiate the fees the Administrator charge for such Fund Administration Tax Services.
d. Nothing in this Section 24 shall limit or restrict the Administrator’s right to use affiliates or third parties to perform or discharge, or assist it in the performance or discharge, of any obligations or duties under this Agreement other than the provision of the services.”
4. | Schedule A (Listing of Funds) is hereby amended by deleting Schedule A in its entirety and replacing it with the Schedule A attached hereto. |
5. | Schedule B2(i) attached hereto is hereby added as a Schedule to the Agreement. |

b. | Except as expressly amended hereby, all provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. |
c. | This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be executed in either original or electronically transmitted form (e.g., faxes or emailed portable document format (PDF) form), and the parties hereby adopt as original any signatures received via electronically transmitted form. |
