All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, Adviser and the Trust wish to enter into this Amendment to the Agreement in order to update the waivers applicable to the fees payable to Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter contained and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Trust and Adviser hereby agree as follows:

1.Effective Date.

 

The effective date of this Amendment (the “Effective Date”) shall be the date upon which the Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement for the Cavanal Hill Funds that was filed October 31, 2014 becomes effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall continue in effect until February 28, 2015, and thereafter for successive periods of twelve months.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Adviser, the Trust or any Fund (or Class) to take any action contrary to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or Bylaws, each as in effect from time to time, or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement, including without limitation any requirements under the 1940 Act, to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or relieve or deprive the Trust’s Board of Trustees of its responsibility for or control of the conduct of the affairs of the Trust of the Funds.

 

6.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)   This Amendment supplements and amends the Agreement. The provisions set forth in this Amendment supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements bearing upon the subject matter covered herein, including any conflicting provisions of the Agreement or any provisions of the Agreement that directly cover or indirectly bear upon matters covered under this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(b)   Each reference to the Agreement in the Agreement (as it existed prior to this Amendment) and in every other agreement, contract or instrument to which the parties are bound, shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. No amendment or modification to this Amendment shall be valid unless made in writing and executed by both parties hereto.

(c)   Paragraph headings in this Amendment are included for convenience only and are not to be used to construe or interpret this Amendment.
