| 5. | ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

The Administrator shall provide the services as listed on Schedule B, subject to the authorization and direction of each Trust and, in each case where appropriate, the review and comment by the Trust’s independent accountants and legal counsel and in accordance with procedures which may be established from time to time between the Trust and the Administrator.

The Administrator shall perform such other services for a Trust/Fund(s) that are mutually agreed to by the Parties from time to time, for which the Trust/Fund(s) will pay such fees as may be mutually agreed upon, including the Administrator’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The provision of such services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 7 and at no additional cost to the Trusts, the Administrator shall provide the office facilities, equipment and personnel required by it to perform the Services.

| 6. | PERFORMANCE GOALS.

a. Each Trust and the Administrator may from time to time agree on the manner and timing in which the Administrator expects to deliver, and the Trust expects to receive, the Services contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties agree that such agreement(s) (hereinafter referred to as “Service Level Document(s)”) will reflect performance and Service delivery goals. Any failure to perform in accordance with the provisions thereof shall not automatically be considered a breach of this Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties that, in the event of a failure to perform in accordance with the provisions of a Service Level Document or any dispute relating to performance goals set forth in a Service Level Document, the Parties will seek to resolve the failure pursuant to the consultation procedure described in Sections 6.b. and 6.c. below.

b. If a Party hereto is materially unable to meet the provisions of a Service Level Document, or in the event that a dispute arises relating to performance goals set forth in a Service Level Document, either Party to this Agreement shall attempt to address any concerns it may have by requiring a consultation with the other Party.

Information Classification: Limited Access

c. The purpose of the consultation procedure is to endeavor to resolve a material failure to meet the provisions of a Service Level Document or a dispute relating to performance goals set forth in a Service Level Document. If a consultation occurs under this Section 6, the Parties must negotiate in good faith to endeavor to:

| (1) | agree to changes to the Service Level Document provisions that will enable the Service Level Document provisions to be more regularly met and which meet the Parties’ respective business requirements; or

| (2) | otherwise find a solution such that, within 30 days after the consultation, the Administrator’s or a Trust’s inability to meet the Service Level Document provisions may be less likely to occur in the future.

If the Parties are unable to resolve the material failure to meet the provisions of a Service Level Document or a dispute relating to performance goals set forth in a Service Level Document within 30 days, the Parties may pursue any and all other available remedies.

| 7. | FEES; EXPENSES; EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

The Administrator shall receive from each Trust such compensation and expense reimbursement for the Services as set forth in a separate fee schedule signed by the Parties (the “Fee Schedule”). The Fee Schedule may only be amended upon the mutual written agreement of the Administrator and the Trusts. The fees shall be due and payable as set forth in the Fee Schedule, except for any fee that a Trust disputes in good faith, provided that both Parties will work diligently and in good faith to effect an expeditious resolution of the dispute (“Good Faith Dispute”). A Good Faith Dispute will be deemed to exist only if (1) a Trust has given written notice of the dispute to Administrator promptly after receiving the invoice and (2) the notice explains the Trust’s position in reasonable detail. A Good Faith Dispute will not exist as to an invoice in its entirety merely because certain amounts on the invoice have been disputed.

All rights of compensation and expense reimbursement under this Agreement for services performed shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Each Trust will bear all expenses that are incurred in the operation of such Trust and not specifically assumed by the Administrator. Such expenses to be borne by each Trust include, but are not limited to: organizational expenses; cost of services of independent accountants and outside legal and tax counsel (including such counsel’s review of the Trust’s registration statement, proxy materials, other SEC filings, federal and state tax qualification as a regulated investment company and other reports and materials prepared by the Administrator under this Agreement); cost of any services contracted for by the Trust directly from parties other than the Administrator; cost of trading operations and brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Trust; investment advisory fees; taxes, insurance premiums and other fees and expenses applicable to its operation; costs incidental to any meetings of shareholders including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, proxy filing fees and the costs of preparation (e.g., typesetting, page changes and all other print vendor and EDGAR charges, collectively referred to herein as “Preparation”), printing, distribution and mailing of any proxy materials; costs incidental to Board meetings, including fees and expenses of Board members; the salary and expenses of any officer, director\trustee or employee of the Trust; costs incidental to the Preparation, printing and mailing, as applicable, of the Trust’s registration statements and any amendments and supplements thereto and shareholder reports; cost of typesetting and printing of prospectuses; cost of Preparation and filing of the Trust’s tax returns, Form N-1A, Form N-2, Form N-PX, Form N-CSR, Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN (and such other forms that a Trust is required to file under the then-current SEC reporting regime), and all notices, registrations and amendments associated with applicable federal and state tax and securities laws; all applicable registration fees and filing fees required under federal and state securities laws; fidelity bond and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; and cost of independent pricing services used in computing the Trust’s net asset value.

| 8. | INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE

Each Trust shall furnish the Administrator from time to time with a notice (the “Certificate”) specifying the names and titles of all persons authorized to issue instructions to the Administrator on behalf of each Fund (“Authorized Persons”) and to sign checks and pay expenses on behalf of the Trust. Such Certificate may be relied upon by the Administrator as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until receipt of a superseding Certificate by the Administrator from the Trust bearing a subsequent date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trust officers shall be considered Authorized Persons.

At any time, the Administrator may request instructions from any Authorized Person with respect to any matter arising in connection with the Services to be performed by the Administrator under this Agreement. Each Trust authorizes the Administrator to receive, act and rely upon instructions from any Authorized Person received by the Administrator which have been issued, or the Administrator reasonably believes have been issued, by an Authorized Person. The Administrator may consult with the independent accountants for the Funds at the expense of the Funds.

The Administrator shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by each Trust, for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon any instructions or any other paper or document reasonably believed by it to have been issued by an Authorized Person. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as imposing upon the Administrator any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received.

| 9. | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers, other than Delegates (as defined in Section 21 below) of the Administrator. The Administrator shall, at all times, act in good faith and without willful misconduct or negligence in performing the Services. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by any Trust insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reliance upon records that were maintained for the Trust by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as Administrator hereunder (except to the extent such records were maintained by the Administrator pursuant to the Sub-Administration Agreement). The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder except to the extent caused by or resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator, its officers or employees. Neither Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits, of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) under any provision of this Agreement or for any such damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the Parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either Party or any entity had been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, unless otherwise agreed, the Administrator’s cumulative liability for each calendar year (a “Liability Period”) with respect to a Trust under this Agreement regardless of the form of action or legal theory shall be limited to its total annual compensation earned and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as defined herein, for any liability or loss suffered by the Trust including, but not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Trust as a regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Trust’s compliance with any federal or state tax or securities statute, regulation or ruling during such Liability Period. “Compensation Period” shall mean the calendar year ending immediately prior to each Liability Period in which the event(s) giving rise to the Administrator’s liability for that period have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Period for purposes of calculating the annual cumulative liability of the Administrator for the Liability Period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on December 31, 2018 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2018, calculated on an annualized basis, and the Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2019 and terminating on December 31, 2019 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2018, calculated on an annualized basis.

Each Trust shall indemnify and hold the Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by the Administrator resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with the Administrator’s acceptance of this Agreement, any action or omission by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by a Trust or its Authorized Persons, or upon reasonable reliance on information or records given or made by a Trust or the Adviser, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator, its officers, employees, or Delegates in cases of its or their own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Subject to this Section 10, all confidential information provided under this Agreement by Disclosing Party shall be used, including disclosure to third parties, by the Receiving Party, or its agents or service providers, solely for the purpose of performing or receiving the services and discharging the Receiving Party’s other obligations under this Agreement or managing the business of the Receiving Party and its Affiliates (as defined in Section 10A below), including financial and operational management and reporting, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance and client service management. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information (a) that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement, (b) that is independently derived by the Receiving Party without the use of any information provided by a Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement, (c) that is disclosed to comply with any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, (d) that is disclosed as required by operation of law or regulation that the Disclosing Party or its agents direct the Administrator or its Affiliates (as defined below) to employ (or which is required in connection with the holding or settlement of instruments included in the assets subject to this Agreement), or (e) where the party seeking to disclose has received the prior written consent of the party providing the information, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall return to the other Party or, at the option of the other Party, destroy, all confidential information of the other Party that such Party or its agents may then possess or have under its control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may retain copies of the other Party’s confidential information to the extent required for regulatory compliance or audit purposes, to comply with applicable laws and/or regulations or for the purpose of maintaining appropriate business records subject to observance of its confidentiality obligations hereunder.

The undertakings and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Each Trust agrees that Administrator and/or its Affiliates may seek to profit and realize economic benefit from the commercialization and use of the Data, that such benefit will constitute part of the Administrator’s compensation for services under this Agreement or such other agreement, and the Administrator and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled to retain and not be required to disclose the amount of such economic benefit and profit to the Trust/Fund(s).

(c) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Section 10A shall limit the confidentiality and Data protection obligations of the Administrator and its Affiliates under this Agreement and applicable law.

b. The Administrator shall act in good faith to implement such changes to the Services as may be reasonably necessary to comply with changes in laws or regulations directly applicable to the Administrator in providing the Services that become effective after the effective date of this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to making any such change to the Services, each Trust and the Administrator shall negotiate in good faith any increase in fees payable to the Administrator. If a Trust notifies the Administrator in writing of changes in laws or regulations applicable to the Trust, the Trust and Administrator shall negotiate in good faith any changes to the Services (including the fees and expenses payable hereunder) necessary to support the Trust’s compliance with those laws or regulations. Each Trust and the Administrator shall, if practicable, work in good faith to have any changes in the Services (including the fees and expenses payable hereunder) necessitated by changes in laws or regulations in place before the changes in law or regulations become effective.
