-5-

 
(c)           Atlantic shall reasonably cooperate with the Trust to accommodate non-material changes and adjustments to the Service; the Trust recognizes that isolated requests for changes or adjustments, when combined with other such requests, may in the aggregate have a material effect.  If (i) the Trust requests (A) the addition of a new service, or (B) any material change or adjustment to any Service, or (ii) in the event that the Trust materially amends its Policies and Procedures or 38a-1 Compliance Program or there is a material change in Law (as defined below) related to or affecting any Service (collectively, a “Service Change”), the parties shall cooperate with one another to implement such addition, change or adjustment in a manner that minimizes any material adverse effect on the Trust.  The parties shall mutually determine the date on which such Service Change shall take place, and develop a written plan to implement such Service Change (a “Service Change Plan”), as well as any implementation or additional fees and expenses that may be required to effect such Service Change.  Each Service Change Plan will include applicable obligations for each party and will specify (A) actions to be taken by parties to Third Party Contracts, and (B) an effective date for the completion of the Service Change Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Atlantic shall have no obligation to effect any Service Change unless and until it has agreed to do so in writing.  Any Service Change made by the parties shall become part of the Services for all purposes under this Agreement thereafter.  For purposes of this Agreement, the foregoing shall be the “Change Control Process.”

           (d)           In addition to the limitation of liability set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, Atlantic shall not be liable to the Trust or any other person for any failure to provide the Service in the following circumstances, but only for so long as such circumstances continue (and for a reasonable period thereafter taking into account the impact that such an occurrence has on Atlantic’s ability to comply with its obligations under this Agreement):

(i)  
if any relevant Dependencies (as defined in Appendix B, hereinafter the “Dependencies Schedule”) upon which performance of the relevant Service depends are not met and the failure to meet any such Dependencies was not a result of delay, or failure to provide information or take action, by Atlantic required to be provided or taken under this Agreement; provided that Atlantic shall not be exculpated pursuant to this Section 1(d) for any such failure to perform a Service caused solely and directly by a breach by Atlantic of its standard of care as set forth in the Agreement;
 
(ii)  
if the failure to perform the Services is at the request or with the consent of the Trust or an Authorized Person;
 
(iii)  
if the failure to perform the Services results from incorrect or corrupted information provided by (A) any Third Party Service Provider, including, without limitation, any Adviser, the principal underwriter for a Fund, brokers or other intermediaries through which a Fund’s shares may be sold or distributed (“Fund Intermediaries”) and any other current or predecessor service providers to the Trust or (B) valuation or market information providers, pricing services, couriers, software houses, custodians, clearing systems or depositories, provided, that (1) if any such person described in clauses (A) or (B) above is chosen by Atlantic and the selection of such a person is reasonable and (2) in any event, persons shall be deemed reasonable if they are selected or retained at the direction of the Trust or an Authorized Person (“Non-Discretionary Subcontractors”) or with the consent of the Trust or an Authorized Person; and/or
 
 
 
-6-

 
(iv)  
if any Law to which Atlantic or any third party is subject prevents or limits the performance of the duties and obligations of Atlantic, and, if such Law affects Atlantic, Atlantic has notified the Trust or an Authorized Person.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Atlantic shall nevertheless use reasonable efforts to provide the Services while any of the circumstances specified in this Section 2(d) above subsist, provided that Atlantic shall not be required to incur any additional costs in doing so (other than costs that it would have had to incur in the ordinary course of providing the Services, assuming such circumstances had not so occurred).  If, despite the foregoing, Atlantic incurs any such additional costs in endeavoring to supply the Services, Atlantic shall promptly notify an Authorized Person, and the Trust shall reimburse those costs to Atlantic to the extent that they have been reasonably incurred (and Atlantic used reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs) or they have been agreed in advance between the parties.  For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the capitalized term “Law” means any statutes, rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority and applicable judicial or regulatory interpretations thereof, (ii) “Governmental Authority” means any court, government department, central bank, commission, board, bureau, agency, securities or futures industry associations or other regulatory, self-regulatory, administrative, judicial, executive, legislative or governmental entity in any country or jurisdiction and (iii) “Authorized Person” means any Executive Officer or the Board or any committee thereof.

(e)           Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Atlantic to perform any service that could cause Atlantic to be deemed an investment adviser for purposes of the 1940 Act or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or that could cause a Fund to act in contravention of the Prospectus or any provision of the 1940 Act.  The Trust acknowledges and agrees that (i) the summaries of the Services set out in Appendix A are intended to define the scope of the Services to be provided; and (ii) subject to the Board’s right to audit the efficacy of the Atlantic Processes in connection with discharging the Board’s obligations under Rule 38a-1 and pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, the procedures, features, functionalities, systems and/or facilities (“Atlantic Processes”) that support the provision of the Services by Atlantic or any Affiliated subcontractor shall be a matter for the sole discretion of Atlantic.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in Appendix A with respect to the Services, the Trust assumes all responsibility for ensuring that the Trust complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the 1940 Act and any other Laws applicable to the Trust.

(f)          Atlantic shall perform the Services (i) in material compliance with Laws applicable to Atlantic and (ii) subject to the terms of this Agreement, in observance of the Policies and Procedures and the 38a-1 Compliance Program.   
 
 (g)          Atlantic shall (i) promptly notify the Trust’s chief compliance officer (“CCO”) and its legal counsel (“Trust Counsel”) of any material violation of Law known to Atlantic by the Trust or the Fund and (ii) at each meeting of the Board and at such other times as determined appropriate by Atlantic, notify the Board of any other violation of Law by Atlantic or a Third Party Service Provider affecting the Trust of which Atlantic becomes aware in providing the Services, including as a result of information generated by Atlantic, detected through Atlantic’s internal or external audit procedures or provided to Atlantic by other service providers to the Trust or any Atlantic subcontractor.  In addition, the CCO will receive reports pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement.

(a)           Atlantic shall be under no duty to take any action except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by Atlantic in writing.  Atlantic shall use commercially reasonable judgment and efforts in rendering the Services, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Atlantic shall not be liable to the Trust, any Shareholders or any other person for any action or inaction of Atlantic relating to any event whatsoever in the absence of bad faith, willful misfeasance or negligence in the performance of Atlantic’s duties or obligations under this Agreement or Atlantic’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement (the “Standard of Care”).

(b)           The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Atlantic, its employees, agents, subcontractors, directors, officers and managers and any person who controls Atlantic within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act or section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Atlantic Indemnitees”) against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising out of or in any way related to a claim from a third party and arising directly out of (A) Atlantic’s actions taken or failures to act with respect to a Fund or (B) incident to the delivery of the Services, except those actions or failures to act for which Atlantic would be liable under Section 3(a).

(ii)           
for cause at any time by the non-breaching party on at least ten (10) days’ written notice thereof to the other party, if the other party has materially breached any of its obligations hereunder including, with respect to Atlantic, the failure by Atlantic to act consistently with the standard of care set forth in Section 3(a); provided, however, that (i) the termination notice shall describe the breach, and (ii) no such termination shall be effective if, with respect to any breach that is capable of being cured prior to the date set forth in the termination notice, the breaching party has cured such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching party.

(d)           Upon notice of termination by either party of this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the Fund or any Service provided to the Fund, Atlantic shall promptly transfer to any successor service providers the original or copies of all books and records maintained by Atlantic under this Agreement including, in the case of records maintained on computer systems, copies of such records in commercially reasonable, machine-readable form, and shall cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, the successor service provider(s) in the establishment of the books and records necessary to carry out the successor service providers’ responsibilities.  Should the Trust exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, the Trust shall reimburse Atlantic for Atlantic’s reasonable costs associated with the copying and movement of records and material to any successor person and providing assistance to any successor person in the establishment of the accounts and records necessary to carry out the successor’s responsibilities (“termination costs”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust shall have no obligation to reimburse Atlantic for its costs if the Trust terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) of subsection (c) above or if Atlantic terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of subsection (c) above.
