WHEREAS, the Trust is a Delaware Statutory trust, and is registered as an open-end management company of the series type under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and each Fund is a series of the Trust;
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Adviser have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement dated December 10, 2010, with an Amended and Restated Schedule thereto dated October 1, 2014, September 25, 2020 and March 25, 2022 (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Adviser provides investment management services to the Fund for compensation based on the value of the average daily net assets of the Fund(s) (“Investment Advisory Fee”); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser is willing to waive a portion of the Investment Advisory Fee for the Fund(s) such that the actual fees paid to the Adviser are below that set forth in the Advisory Agreement and the Fund(s) desire to allow the Adviser to waive such portion of the Investment Advisory Fee.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and the mutual promises set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Investment Advisory Fee Waiver.
Until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, the Adviser agrees to waive a portion of the Investment Advisory Fee for the Fund(s) as necessary to keep the Investment Advisory Fee paid by the Fund(s), in any fiscal year, from exceeding the annual rate as specified in Schedule A hereto.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first written above and shall continue in effect until November 30, 2025. The Agreement may be amended only with the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

3. Miscellaneous.
3.1. Interpretation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Trust or the Fund to take any action contrary to the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Trust’s Board of Trustees of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of the Trust or the Fund. This agreement is binding only upon the assets and property of the applicable series of the Trust and is not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers of shareholders of the Trust individually. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that any litigation arising hereunder, whether direct or indirect, and of any and every nature whatsoever, shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the applicable Fund and that no Trustee, officer or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such Fund shall be personally liable for any of the foregoing liabilities.

3.3. Enforceability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
