Exhibit C to the

Fund Administration Servicing Agreement

 

Regulatory Administration Service Proposal - in support of external legal counsel

 

Full Start Up - New Registrant

 

$15,000 for one prospectus with up to five funds

 

$2,500 for each additional fund (in the same or a separate prospectus)

 

$2,500 for each additional prospectus with a substantially similar structure (fees for prospectuses with materially different structures are subject to negotiation).

 

For example, if there are 5 funds in one prospectus and 3 funds in a second prospectus with a similar structure, the total would be $25,000 ($15,000 for the first prospectus, $7,500 for the 3 additional funds, and $2,500 for maintaining a separate prospectus).

 

For the avoidance of doubt, whether a prospectus is separate is based on whether the funds in such prospectus will be merged into another prospectus at the time of the next annual update or will remain in a separate prospectus.

 

Annual Regulatory Administration Services include:

 

Drafting the annual update to the fund's registration statement

 

Coordinating with the adviser, auditor and external counsel to incorporate any comments on the updated registration statement

 

Edgarizing and filing with the SEC any amendment to the trust's registration statement

 

Preparation of the fund's summary prospectus, edgarizing and filing the same with the SEC

 

Preparation of the fund's 497(j) letter or 497(c), edgarizing and filing the same with the SEC

 

Preparation of the fund's XBRL filings (whether 485(b) or 497) and filing the same with the SEC

 

Drafting of any stickers or supplements during the year, edgarizing and filing the same with the SEC

 

Unlimited consultation by the adviser of fund or project related matters
