WHEREAS, the Fund is, or will be, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company; and

WHEREAS, the Fund desires that Foreside perform certain services and Foreside is willing to provide those services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement by and between the Adviser and the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to the Fund; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to a unitary fee arrangement between the Fund and the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all of the fees and expenses due to Foreside from the Fund under Section 5 of this Agreement (the “Payment Obligations”), and is joining as a party to this Agreement solely for the purpose of assuming such Payment Obligations;

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Fund and Foreside hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. APPOINTMENT; DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS

(a) The Fund hereby appoints Foreside, and Foreside hereby agrees, to provide an employee of Foreside acceptable to the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) to serve as the Fund’s Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer (“PFO/Treasurer”) to the Fund for the period and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. A copy of the PFO/Treasurer’s resume has been provided to the Fund and will be updated from time to time as necessary by Foreside.

(b) In connection therewith, the Fund has delivered to Foreside copies of, and shall promptly furnish Foreside with all amendments of or supplements to: (i) the Fund’s Declaration of Trust and Bylaws (collectively, as amended from time to time, “Organizational Documents”); (ii) the Fund’s current Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the 1940 Act (the “Registration Statement”); (iii) the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (collectively, as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented, the “Prospectus”); (iv) each plan of distribution or similar document that may be adopted by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and each current shareholder service plan or similar document adopted by the Fund; and (v) all compliance policies, programs and procedures adopted by the Fund with respect to the Fund. The Fund shall deliver to Foreside a certified copy of the resolution of the Board appointing the PFO/Treasurer hereunder and authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement. In addition, the Fund shall deliver, or cause to deliver, to Foreside upon Foreside’s reasonable request any other documents that would enable Foreside to perform the services described in this Agreement.

SECTION 2. DUTIES OF FORESIDE

(a) Subject to the approval of the Board, Foreside shall make available an employee of Foreside who is competent and knowledgeable regarding the management and internal controls of the Fund to serve as the Fund’s PFO/Treasurer, who will have the authority normally incident to such office, including the authority to execute documents required to be executed by the Fund’s “Principal Financial Officer” and/or “Treasurer”.

(b) Foreside and/or the PFO/Treasurer, as an agent of Foreside, shall provide the services as set forth on Appendix A hereto (the “Services”).

(c) Foreside shall maintain records relating to the Services, such as policies and procedures, relevant Board presentations, and other records (collectively, the “Records”), as are required to be maintained under the relevant securities laws and regulations. Such reports shall be maintained in the manner and for the periods as are required under such laws and regulations. The Records shall be the property of the Fund. The Fund, or the Fund’s authorized representatives, shall have access to the Records at all times during Foreside’s normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Fund, copies of any of the Records shall be provided promptly by Foreside to the Fund or the Fund’s authorized representatives. Such provision of Records shall be at the Fund’s expense, as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Foreside to perform any service that could cause Foreside to be deemed an investment adviser for purposes of the 1940 Act or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or that could cause the Fund to act in contravention of the Fund’s Prospectus or any provision of the 1940 Act. Further, while Foreside will provide services under this Agreement to assist the Fund with respect to the Fund’s obligations under and compliance with various laws and regulations, Fund understands and agrees that Foreside is not a law firm and that nothing contained herein shall be construed to create an attorney-client relationship between Foreside and Fund or to require Foreside to render legal advice or otherwise engage in the practice of law in any jurisdiction. Thus, except with respect to Foreside’s duties as set forth in this Section 2, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Fund assumes all responsibility for ensuring that the Fund complies with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the 1940 Act and any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Fund. All references to any law in this Agreement shall be deemed to include reference to the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under authority of the law and all official interpretations of such law or rules or regulations.

(e) Foreside does not offer legal or accounting services and does not provide substitute services for the services provided by legal counsel or that of a certified public accountant. Foreside will use its best judgment and efforts to provide the services described in this Agreement.

(f) In order for Foreside to perform the Services, the Fund shall take reasonable steps to (i) encourage all of its service providers to furnish any and all information to Foreside as reasonably requested; and (ii) ensure that Foreside has access to all relevant records and documents maintained by the Fund or any service provider to the Fund.

(g) Foreside may provide other services and assistance relating to the affairs of the Fund as the Fund may, from time to time, request subject to mutually acceptable compensation and implementation agreements.

SECTION 3. STANDARD OF CARE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

(a) Foreside shall be under no duty to take any action except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by Foreside in writing. Foreside shall use its best judgment and efforts in rendering the Services and shall not be liable to the Fund or any of the Fund’s stockholders for any action or inaction of Foreside or the PFO/Treasurer relating to any event whatsoever in the absence of bad faith, reckless disregard, negligence, willful misfeasance, fraud or breach of this Agreement. Further, neither Foreside nor the PFO/Treasurer shall be liable to the Fund or any of the Fund’s stockholders for any action taken, or failure to act, in good faith reliance upon: (i) the advice and opinion of Fund counsel; and/or (ii) any certified copy of any resolution of the Board. Neither Foreside nor the PFO/Treasurer shall be under any duty or obligation to inquire into the validity or invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any statement, oral or written instruction, resolution, signature, request, letter of transmittal, certificate, opinion of counsel, instrument, report, notice, consent, order, or any other document or instrument which Foreside and/or the PFO/Treasurer reasonably believe(s) in good faith to be genuine.

(b) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Foreside, its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and any person who controls Foreside within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (any of Foreside, its affiliates, their respective officers, employees, agents and directors or such control persons, for purposes of this paragraph, a “Foreside Indemnitee”) against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or based upon (i) Foreside’s performance of its duties under this Agreement, or (ii) the breach of any obligation, representation or warranty under this Agreement by the Fund.

In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Fund in favor of any Foreside Indemnitee to be deemed to protect or indemnify the Foreside Indemnitee against any liability to which the Foreside Indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or fraud in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard or breach of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Fund to be liable with respect to any claim made against any Foreside Indemnitee unless the Foreside Indemnitee notifies the Fund in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim are served upon the Foreside Indemnitee (or after the Foreside Indemnitee receives notice of service on any designated agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to notify the Fund of any claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability that it may have to any Foreside Indemnitee unless failure or delay to so notify the Fund prejudices the Fund’s ability to defend against such claim.

The Fund shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims, but if the Fund elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Foreside Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Foreside Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Fund does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Foreside Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them.

(c) Foreside agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each of its Trustees, officers and employees and any person who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (for purposes of this paragraph, the Fund and each of its Trustees, officers and employees and its controlling persons are collectively referred to as the “Fund Indemnitees”) against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or based upon (i) the breach of any obligation, representation or warranty under this Agreement by Foreside, or (ii) Foreside’s failure to comply in any material respect with applicable securities laws.

In no case (i) is the indemnity of Foreside in favor of any Fund Indemnitee to be deemed to protect or indemnify any Fund Indemnitee against any liability to which such Fund Indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard or breach of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is Foreside to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against any Fund Indemnitee unless the Fund Indemnitee notifies Foreside in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim are served upon the Fund Indemnitee (or after the Fund Indemnitee has received notice of service on any designated agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to notify Foreside of any claim shall not relieve Foreside from any liability that it may have to the Fund Indemnitee against whom such action is brought unless failure or delay to so notify Foreside prejudices Foreside’s ability to defend against such claim.

Foreside shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, but if Foreside elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Fund Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event that Foreside elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Fund Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If Foreside does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Fund Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them.

(d) No indemnified party shall settle any claim against it for which it intends to seek indemnification from the indemnifying party, under the terms of section 3(b) or 3(c) above, without prior written notice to and consent from the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnified or indemnifying party shall settle any claim unless the settlement contains a full release of liability with respect to the other party in respect of such action.

(e) Foreside shall not be liable for the errors of other service providers to the Fund or their systems.

(f) The Fund agrees that Foreside, its employees, officers and directors shall not be liable to the Fund for any actions, damages, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses or losses in any way arising out of or relating to the Services for an aggregate amount in excess of two times the amount of fees paid to Foreside in performing services hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply regardless of the form of action, damage, claim, liability, cost, expense or loss, whether in contract, statute, tort (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise.

In no event shall the parties hereto or their respective employees, officers and directors be liable for consequential, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages, costs, expenses or losses (including, without limitation, lost profits and opportunity costs or fines).

The foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3(f) shall not be construed to protect the PFO/Treasurer against any liability to the Fund or to its security holders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

SECTION 9. ACTIVITIES OF FORESIDE

(a) Except to the extent necessary to perform Foreside’s obligations under this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict Foreside’s right, or the right of any of Foreside’s managers, officers or employees who also may be a director, trustee, officer or employee of the Fund (including, without limitation, the PFO/Treasurer), or who are otherwise affiliated persons of the Fund, to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, trust, firm, individual or association.

Foreside may pay those persons for their services, but no such payment will increase Foreside’s compensation or reimbursement of expenses hereunder.
