In the event of such a change, the parties shall negotiate any adjustment to the fees payable hereunder in good faith provided, however, that if the parties cannot in good faith agree on such adjustment to the fees within a reasonable period of time, the Administrator may terminate this Agreement upon thirty days prior written notice to the Trust.

The Trust acknowledges that from time to time after the conclusion of the Initial Term (as defined below) and on an annual basis thereafter, the Annual Minimum Fees payable hereunder shall be subject to an increase at SEI's discretion, equal to the percentage increase in the Philadelphia Consumer Price Index since the Effective Date with respect to the first such increase, and since the date of the immediately preceding increase with respect to all subsequent increases; provided, however, that the Administrator shall notify the Trust of its intent to effectuate any such increase at least one hundred eighty days prior to the effectiveness of such increase.

This Agreement may be terminated as to any Portfolio, upon forty-five days prior written notice, effective (i) upon the reorganization or merger of a Portfolio into another entity, provided that Administrator or one of its affiliates enters into a written agreement to provide administration services on behalf of such surviving entity, or (ii) upon any "change of control" of the Investment Adviser by sale, merger, reorganization, acquisition or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Investment Adviser to a third party, provided that Administrator or one of its affiliates enters into a written agreement to provide administration services on behalf of the third party or surviving entity. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "change of control" shall mean any transaction that results in the transfer of right, title and ownership of fifty-one percent or more of the equity interests of the Adviser to a third party. 9.02.04 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph, the parties may agree to terminate the Agreement on or before the expiration of the then current term (hereinafter, an "EARLY TERMINATION").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Agreement is terminated and for any reason the Administrator, with the written consent of Trust, in fact continues to perform any one or more of the services contemplated by this Agreement, the pertinent provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, the provisions dealing with payment of fees and indemnification shall continue in full force and effect. The Administrator shall be entitled to collect from Trust, in addition to the compensation described in SCHEDULE III, the amount of all of the Administrator's expenses in connection with the Administrator's activities following such termination, including without limitation, the delivery to Trust and/or its designees of Trust's property, records, instruments and documents. SECTION 10 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 10.01 NON-EXCLUSIVE. The services of the Administrator rendered to the Trust are not deemed to be exclusive. The Administrator is free to render such services to others. The Administrator shall not be deemed to be affected by notice of, or to be under any duty to disclose to the Trust or Person acting on the Trust's behalf, information which has come into its possession or the possession of an Interested Party in the course of or in connection with providing administrative or other services to any other person or in any manner whatsoever other than in the course of carrying out its duties pursuant to this Agreement. 10.02 RIGHTS OF INTERESTED PARTIES. Subject to applicable law, nothing herein contained shall prevent: 10.02.01. an Interested Party from buying, holding, disposing of or otherwise dealing in any Shares for its own account or the account of any of its customers or from receiving remuneration in connection therewith, with the same rights which it would have had if the Administrator were not a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that the prices quoted by the Administrator are no more 12 favorable to the Interested Party than to a similarly situated investor in or redeeming holder of Shares; 10.02.02. an Interested Party from buying, holding, disposing of or otherwise dealing in any securities or other investments for its own account or for the account of any of its customers and receiving remuneration in connection therewith, notwithstanding that the same or similar securities or other investments may be held by or for the account of the Trust; 10.02.03. an Interested Party from receiving any commission or other remuneration which it may negotiate in connection with any sale or purchase of Shares or Investments effected by it for the account of the Trust; provided, however, that the amount of such commission or other remuneration is negotiated at arm's length; and 10.02.04. an Interested Party from contracting or entering into any financial, banking or other transaction with the Trust or from being interested in any such contract or transaction; provided, however, that the terms of such transaction are negotiated at arm's length. SECTION 11 CONFIDENTIALITY 11.01 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Administrator and the Trust (in such capacity, the "Receiving Party") acknowledge and agree to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) provided by the Administrator and the Trust (in such capacity, the "Disclosing Party") in connection with this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or disseminate the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any Person other than those employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and licensees of the Receiving Party, or to those employees, agents, technology service providers, contractors, subcontractors, licensors and licensees of any agent or affiliate, who have a need to know it in order to assist the Receiving Party in performing its obligations, or to permit the Receiving Party to exercise its rights under this Agreement. In addition, the Receiving Party (a) shall take all Reasonable Steps to prevent unauthorized access to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, and (b) shall not use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or authorize other Persons to use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, for any purposes other than in connection with performing its obligations or exercising its rights hereunder, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the Administrator's ability to include de-identified, anonymized data related to the Services hereunder for the purpose of aggregating data and preparing reports regarding use and functioning of the Service by the Administrator's various clients. For the avoidance of doubt, such de-identified, anonymized data shall not be included in the definition of "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" hereunder. As used herein, "REASONABLE STEPS" means steps that a party takes to protect its own, similarly confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature, which steps shall in no event be less than a reasonable standard of care. The term "Confidential Information," as used herein, means all business strategies, plans and procedures, proprietary information, methodologies, data and trade secrets, and other confidential information including, without limitation, any non-public personal information (as defined in Regulation S-P) of the Disclosing Party, its affiliates, their respective clients or suppliers, or other Persons with whom they do business, that may be obtained by the Receiving Party from any source or that may be developed as a result of this Agreement, the terms of (or any exercise of rights granted by) this Agreement, the Trust's portfolio, trading or position information, technical data; trade secrets; know-how; business processes; product plans; product designs; service plans; services; customer 13 lists and customers; markets; software; developments; inventions; processes; formulas; technology; designs; drawings; and marketing, distribution or sales methods and systems; sales and profit figures or other financial information that is disclosed, directly or indirectly, to the Receiving Party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party, whether in writing, orally or by other means and whether or not such information is marked as confidential. 11.02 EXCLUSIONS. The provisions of this Section 11 respecting Confidential Information shall not apply to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Confidential Information: (a) is already known to the Receiving Party free of any restriction at the time it is obtained from the Disclosing Party, (b) is subsequently learned from an independent third party free of any restriction and without breach of this Agreement; (c) is or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party or any third party; (d) is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without reference to or use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to an applicable law, rule, regulation, government requirement or court order, or the rules of any stock exchange (provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall advise the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure promptly upon learning thereof in order to afford the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to contest, limit and/or assist the Receiving Party in crafting such disclosure). 11.03 PERMITTED DISCLOSURE. The Receiving Party shall advise its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and licensees, and shall require its affiliates to advise their employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and licensees, of the Receiving Party's obligations of confidentiality and non-use under this SECTION 11, and shall be responsible for ensuring compliance by its and its affiliates' employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and licensees with such obligations. In addition, the Receiving Party shall require all Persons that are provided access to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, other than the Receiving Party's accountants and legal counsel, to execute confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements containing provisions substantially similar to those set forth in this SECTION 11. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing upon learning of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information by such Persons. 11.04 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon the Disclosing Party's written request following the termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party promptly shall return to the Disclosing Party, or destroy, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party provided under or in connection with this Agreement, including all copies, portions and summaries thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (a) the Receiving Party may retain one copy of each item of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information for purposes of identifying and establishing its rights and obligations under this Agreement, for archival or audit purposes and/or to the extent required by applicable law, and (b) the Administrator shall have no obligation to return or destroy Confidential Information of Trust that resides in save tapes of Administrator; provided, however, that in either case all such Confidential Information retained by the Receiving Party shall remain subject to the provisions of SECTION 11 for so long as it is so retained. If requested by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall certify in writing its compliance with the provisions of this SECTION 11. SECTION 12 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 12.01 INTERNET ACCESS. Data and information may be made electronically accessible to Trust, its Investment Adviser and/or sub-adviser(s) and its investors through Internet access to one or more web sites provided by the Administrator ("Web Access"). As between the Trust and Administrator, the Administrator shall own all right, title and interest to such Web Access, including, without limitation, all content, software, interfaces, documentation, 14 data, trade secrets, design concepts, "look and feel" attributes, enhancements, improvements, ideas and inventions and all intellectual property rights inherent in any of the foregoing or appurtenant thereto including all patent rights, copyrights, trademarks, know-how and trade secrets (collectively, the "Proprietary Information"). Trust recognizes that the Proprietary Information is of substantial value to the Administrator and shall not use or disclose the Proprietary Information except as specifically authorized in writing by the Administrator. Use of the Web Access by Trust or its agents or investors will be subject to any additional terms of use set forth on the web site. All Web Access and the information (including text, graphics and functionality) on the web sites related to such Web Access is presented "As Is" and "As Available" without express or implied warranties including, but not limited to, implied warranties of non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The Administrator neither warrants that the Web Access will be uninterrupted or error free, nor guarantees the accessibility, reliability, performance, timeliness, sequence, or completeness of information provided on the Web Access. 12.02 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. In making, and performing under, this Agreement, the Administrator shall be deemed to be acting as an independent contractor of Trust and neither the Administrator nor its employees shall be deemed an agent, affiliate, legal representative, joint venturer or partner of Trust. No party is authorized to bind any other party to any obligation, affirmation or commitment with respect to any other Person. 12.03 ASSIGNMENT; BINDING EFFECT. The Trust may not assign, delegate or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement (in whole or in part), or any of Trust's obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Administrator may assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of the Administrator or to any person or entity who purchases all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Administrator to which this Agreement relates, provided that such affiliate, person or entity agrees in advance and in writing to be bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each party's successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this provision shall be void and without legal effect. 12.04 AGREEMENT FOR SOLE BENEFIT OF THE ADMINISTRATOR AND THE TRUST. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Administrator and the Trust and will not be deemed to be for the direct or indirect benefit of either (i) the clients or customers of the Administrator or the Trust or (ii) the sponsor. The clients or customers of the Administrator, the Trust or any sponsor will not be deemed to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement nor to have any other contractual relationship with the Administrator by reason of this Agreement. 12.05 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. To the extent that the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any of the provisions of this Agreement, conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the latter shall control. Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for the purpose of any action between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, and (ii) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the 15 jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. 12.06 EQUITABLE RELIEF. Each party agrees that any other party's violation of the provisions of SECTION 11 (Confidentiality) may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the other party for which money damages may not constitute an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the parties agree that, in the event either party breaches or threatens to breach said provision or covenant, the other party shall have the right to seek, in any court of competent jurisdiction, an injunction to restrain said breach or threatened breach, without posting any bond or other security. 12.07 DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Whenever either party desires to institute legal proceedings against the other concerning this Agreement, it shall provide written notice to that effect to such other party. The party providing such notice shall refrain from instituting said legal proceedings for a period of thirty days following the date of provision of such notice. During such period, the parties shall attempt in good faith to amicably resolve their dispute by negotiation among their executive officers. This Section 12.07 shall not prohibit either party from seeking, at any time, equitable relief as permitted under Section 12.06. 12.08 NOTICE. All notices provided for or permitted under this Agreement (except for correspondence between the parties related to operations in the ordinary course) shall be deemed effective upon receipt, and shall be in writing and (a) delivered personally, (b) sent by commercial overnight courier with written verification of receipt, or (c) sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the party to be notified, at the address for such party set forth below, or at such other address of such party specified in the opening paragraph of this Agreement.

This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, letters, proposals, agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by an authorized representative of each of the parties. 12.10 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the original intention of the parties, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. 16 12.11 WAIVER. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by written instrument executed by such party. No failure of either party hereto to exercise any power or right granted hereunder, or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties with regard to the terms of performance hereof, will constitute a waiver of the rights of such party to demand full and exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement. 12.12 ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING LAWS. In connection with performing the Services set forth herein, the Administrator may provide information that the Trust may rely upon in connection with Trust's compliance with applicable laws, policies and regulations aimed at the prevention and detection of money laundering and/or terrorism activities (hereinafter, the "REGULATIONS"). Trust and the Administrator agree that the Trust shall be responsible for its compliance with all such Regulations. It shall be a condition precedent to providing Services to the Trust under this Agreement and the Administrator shall have no liability for non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement unless it is satisfied, in its absolute discretion, that it has sufficient and appropriate information and material to discharge its obligations under the Regulations, and that the performance of such obligations will not violate any Regulations applicable to it. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Trust acknowledges that the Administrator is authorized to return an investor's Investment in any Portfolio and take any action necessary to restrict repayment of redemption proceeds to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations pursuant to the Regulations. 12.13 FORCE MAJEURE. No breach of any obligation of a party to this Agreement (other than obligations to pay amounts owed) will constitute an event of default or breach to the extent it arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of the party otherwise chargeable with breach or default, including without limitation: work action or strike; lockout or other labor dispute; flood; war; riot; theft; act of terrorism, earthquake or natural disaster. Either party desiring to rely upon any of the foregoing as an excuse for default or breach will, when the cause arises, give to the other party prompt notice of the facts which constitute such cause; and, when the cause ceases to exist, give prompt notice thereof to the other party. 12.14 EQUIPMENT FAILURES. In the event of equipment failures beyond the Administrator's reasonable control, the Administrator shall take all reasonable and prompt steps to minimize service interruptions but shall have no liability with respect thereto. The Administrator shall develop and maintain a plan for recovery from equipment failures which may include contractual arrangements with appropriate parties making reasonable provision for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. 12.15 NON-SOLICITATION. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, the Trust shall not solicit, make an offer of employment to, or enter into a consulting relationship with, any person who was an employee of the Administrator who worked directly on the account of the Trust at the Administrator during the term of this Agreement. If Trust breaches this provision, Trust shall pay to the Administrator liquidated damages equal to 100% of the most recent twelve month salary of the Administrator's former employee together with all legal fees reasonably incurred by the Administrator in enforcing this provision. The foregoing restriction on solicitation does not apply to unsolicited applications for jobs, responses to public advertisements or candidates submitted by recruiting firms, provided that such firms have not been contacted to circumvent the spirit and intention of this Section 12.15. 12.16 HEADINGS. All Section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a part of this Agreement and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 17 12.17 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. This Agreement shall be deemed executed by both parties when any one or more counterparts hereof or thereof, individually or taken together, bears the original facsimile or scanned signatures of each of the parties. 12.18 PUBLICITY. Except to the extent required by applicable law, neither the Administrator nor the Trust shall issue or initiate any press release arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services rendered hereunder; provided, however, that if no special prominence is given or particular reference made to the Trust over other clients, nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator from (i) placing the Trust's or the Investment Manager's name or logo (including any registered trademark or service mark) on the Administrator's client list(s) (and sharing such list(s) with current or potential clients of the Administrator) or (ii) otherwise orally disclosing that Trust is a client of the Administrator at presentations, conferences or other similar meetings. If the Administrator desires to engage in any type of publicity other than as set forth in subsections (i) through (ii) above or if Trust desires to engage in any type of publicity, the party desiring to engage in such publicity shall obtain the prior written consent of the other party hereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 12.19 INSURANCE. Each party hereto shall maintain appropriate insurance coverage with respect to such party's responsibilities hereunder; provided, however, that the amount of insurance coverage shall in no way affect a party's obligations or liability as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Administrator makes an employee of the Administrator available to the Trust to serve as an officer of the Trust, the Trust shall maintain professional liability (directors' & officers' and errors and omissions) insurance with limits of not less than $5 Million per occurrence ("Officer Insurance Minimum"). The Trust shall provide a certificate of insurance to the Administrator prior to Administrator providing Services to the Fund and annually thereafter upon Administrator's request. Such certificate of insurance shall contain an agreement by the issuing insurance company that such insurance shall not be materially changed, cancelled or terminated upon less than thirty days prior written notice to Administrator. Directors' & officers' insurance shall be acquired only through insurance companies having an A.M. Best rating of A- VIII or better. The trust further releases, assigns and waives any and all rights of recovery against the Administrator and its employees, successors and permitted assigns that the Trust may otherwise have or acquire in or from, or are in any way connected with any loss covered by the Fund's D&O Liability Insurance or because of deductible clauses in or inadequacy of limits of such policy of insurance. The Trust shall promptly notify the Administrator should its insurance coverage with respect to professional liability be cancelled or fall below the Officer Insurance Minimum, such notification to include the date of cancellation, if applicable.
