SCHEDULE V

Service Level Agreement


The Sub-Administrator’s performance will be measured against the Performance Standards set forth herein, as more fully described below.
Data Collection and Performance Calculation
Beginning on first date on which any Fund of the Trust begins trading, Sub-Administrator will measure Sub-Administrator’s performance of each Key Performance Indicator (“KPI”) against the performance standards (“Performance Standards”) as set forth below.
Sub-Administrator shall, on a regular basis, collect and compile data regarding its performance for each KPI. Sub-Administrator will calculate its performance rating for the applicable calendar month/quarter (“Performance Rating”) for each KPI using the following formula: (number of items processed in each calendar month/quarter that meet the applicable KPI description divided by the total number of items processed in the calendar month/quarter that were subject to such KPI description) = X%. An item shall be deemed to be processed in the calendar month/quarter in which the last action occurs with respect to the applicable transaction event. The Performance Rating is compared with the applicable Performance Standard to determine whether Sub-Administrator is in compliance with the standards set forth in this Service Level Agreement.
For some KPI’s (“Low Volume KPI”) in which a low number of items are processed in a calendar month/quarter, the calculated Performance Rating may not be an accurate indicator of performance. Particularly, if a single item processed outside the KPI description causes the Performance Rating to fall below the Performance Standard, either (1) the KPI should be monitored for a longer period or (2) the Performance Rating for a broader KPI description should be utilized as a more reliable indicator of performance when determining appropriate actions outlined below.
Performance Reporting
Within sixty (60) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter, Sub-Administrator shall deliver to the Trust and GXMC, a report (the “Quarterly Performance Report”) that shall set forth Sub-Administrator’s Performance Rating for each KPI, determined based on the applicable measurement window for each KPI.
Performance Incidents
In the event that the Performance Rating for any KPI is less than the applicable Performance Standard (hereinafter, a “Performance Shortfall”), the following corrective action shall be taken:
Sub-Administrator shall prepare and present to GXMC a corrective action plan to address and correct the cause of the Performance Shortfall, which plan shall contain a date by which Sub-Administrator is to have completed all actions under such plan (“Action Plan Completion Date”). In the first full month (for KPIs measured monthly) or quarter (for KPIs measured quarterly) immediately following the month / quarter of the Action Plan Completion Date, Sub-Administrator will prepare and present to GXMC a report for the applicable KPI using the following formula: (number of items processed in the month/quarter that meet the applicable KPI description divided by the total number of items processed in the month/quarter that were subject to such KPI description) = X%. If the resulting Performance Rating fails to meet the Performance Standard for the applicable KPI, (a) an “Initial Performance Incident” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the applicable Performance Standard, (b) Sub-Administrator will prepare a revised corrective action plan (with a revised Action Plan Completion Date), and (c) Sub-Administrator will owe a monetary credit to GXMC, as indicated below with respect to an “Initial Performance Incident.”
If Sub-Administrator’s Performance Rating for a second time fails to meet the Performance Standard for the applicable KPI due to a Performance Shortfall within the two calendar quarters following the date of the Initial Performance Incident, (a) a “Second Performance Incident” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the applicable Performance Standard, (b) Sub-Administrator will prepare a second corrective action plan (with an Action Plan Completion Date) and (c) Sub-Administrator will owe a monetary credit to GXMC, as indicated below with respect to a “Second Performance Incident.”
If Sub-Administrator’s Performance Rating for a third or subsequent time fails to meet the Performance Standard for the applicable KPI due to a Performance Shortfall within the two calendar quarters following the date of the Initial Performance Incident, (a) a “Third Performance Incident” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the applicable Performance Standard, (b) Sub-Administrator will prepare a third corrective action plan (with an Action Plan Completion Date) and (c) Sub-Administrator will owe a monetary credit to GXMC, as indicated below with respect to a “Third Performance Incident.”
SEI 347428    10


If Sub-Administrator meets the Performance Standard for the applicable KPI for two consecutive quarters following any Performance Incident, the next failure by Sub-Administrator to meet the Performance Standard for the applicable KPI due to a Performance Shortfall shall again be deemed to be an Initial Performance Incident.
Performance Credits
Performance IncidentPerformance Credit
Initial Performance Incident[ ]
Second Performance Incident[ ]
Third Performance Incident[ ]

Sub-Administrator will include any Performance Credit owed to GXMC on an invoice issued to GXMC following the applicable Performance Incident. Such Performance Credit shall be the sole and exclusive remedy in connection with the Performance Incident as it relates to the rights and obligations under this Schedule V, but shall in no way affect any other rights granted pursuant to this Agreement, including any other remedies provided for under the Agreement to the extent that such Performance Incident would otherwise constitute a material breach of the Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, only one Performance Credit shall apply in connection with each “event” relating to a Performance Shortfall. For example, if the Sub-Administrator’s accounting technology is unavailable for a period of time and such unavailability causes a Performance Shortfall with respect to both Portfolio Composition File timeliness and Website Files timeliness, only one Performance Shortfall shall be deemed to have occurred, and GXMC shall have the ability to choose which Performance Standard is breached due to such event.
Performance Standard Exceptions
In connection with determining whether a Performance Rating constitutes a Performance Shortfall, Sub-Administrator will be excused from failure to satisfy a Performance Standard and such failure shall not be a Performance Shortfall if: (1) GXMC or any third party appointed by GXMC is in breach of its obligations under the Agreement; or is not acting in accordance with generally accepted industry practices; or is not acting in a manner to which the parties have otherwise mutually agreed in writing; (2) GXMC has delegated one or more of their obligations to third parties and such third parties do not perform within the requirements of the Agreement; (3) GXMC or any of its agents change data previously provided to Sub-Administrator or supply incorrect or incomplete instructions or data; or (4) performance within the stated KPI is adversely affected by (a) a change in the standards of a third party processing agent outside of the control of Sub-Administrator; (b) circumstances or events subject to Force Majeure; (c) Sub-Administrator’s obligations to comply with any law, including without limitation, any AML Laws or (d) a disaster recovery event. Additionally, Sub-Administrator will be excused from meeting a Performance Standard in instances where there is a significant one time increase in processing activity, such as but not limited to opening or closing of multiple Funds in a single measurement period. These types of activities are considered special projects, and, project scope, timelines, and resource requirements shall be reviewed with Sub-Administrator in advance of project initiation.
