Section 6. Compensation and Expenses

(a) Compensation. SFS agrees to pay CFS as compensation for its services according to the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit C hereto. Fees will begin to accrue for each Fund on the later of the date of this Agreement or the date of commencement of operations of the Fund.

Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, SFS shall pay to CFS such compensation as shall be payable prior to the effective date of termination.

In addition, SFS shall reimburse certain reasonable expenses incurred by CFS on behalf of each Fund individually in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Such out-of-pocket expenses shall include, but not be limited to: documented fees and costs of obtaining advice of Fund counsel or accountants in connection with its services to each Fund; postage; long distance telephone; special forms required by each Fund; any travel which may be required in the performance of its duties; and any other extraordinary expenses it may incur in connection with its services, provided that such extraordinary expenses must be approved by SFS prior to any reimbursement.

In connection with the services provided by CFS pursuant to this Agreement, SFS, on behalf of each Fund, agrees to reimburse CFS for expenses set forth in Exhibit C hereto. In addition, SFS shall reimburse CFS for all reasonable expenses and employee time (at 150% of salary) attributable to any review of the Trust’s accounts and records by the Trust’s independent accountants or any regulatory body outside of routine and normal periodic reviews.

(b) Taxes. Except as required by applicable law or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, CFS shall not be liable for any taxes, assessments or governmental charges that may be levied or assessed on any basis whatsoever in connection with the Trust or any customer, excluding taxes, if any, assessed against CFS related to its income or assets.

(c) Invoices/Billing. All fees and reimbursements are payable in arrears on a monthly basis and SFS, on behalf of the applicable Fund, agrees to pay all fees and reimbursable expenses within five (5) business days following receipt of the respective billing notice. Without prejudice to CFS’s other rights, CFS reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts (except to the extent the amount is subject to a bona fide dispute) from the due date until actual payment at an annual rate equal to the sum of the overnight Fed Funds rate as in effect from time to time plus 2 percentage points.

Section 7. Confidentiality.

CFS agrees on behalf of itself and its employees to treat confidentially all records and other information relative to SFS, the Trust and its shareholders received by CFS in connection with this Agreement, including any non-public personal information as defined in Regulation S-P, and that it shall not use or disclose any such information except for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that CFS may disclose such information as required by law or in connection with any requested disclosure to a regulatory authority with appropriate jurisdiction after prior notification to SFS.

SFS acknowledges that the databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, and documentation manuals maintained by CFS on databases under the control and ownership of CFS or a third party constitute copyrighted, trade secret, or other proprietary information (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) of substantial value to CFS or the third party. SFS agrees to treat all Proprietary Information as proprietary to CFS and further agrees that it shall not divulge any Proprietary Information to any person or organization except as may be provided under this Agreement.

Upon termination of this Agreement, CFS shall return to SFS all copies of confidential or non-public personal information received from SFS or the Trust hereunder, other than materials or information required to be retained by CFS under applicable laws or regulations. CFS hereby agrees to dispose of any “consumer report information,” as such term is defined in Regulation S-P.

Section 8. Standard of Care / Limitation of Liability.

CFS shall be under no duty to take any action on behalf of SFS or a Fund except as necessary to fulfill its duties and obligations as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by CFS in writing.

Section 17. Severability.

If any part, term or provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, in conflict with any law or otherwise invalid, the remaining portion or portions shall be considered severable and not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular part, term or provision held to be illegal or invalid.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed to be in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to choice of law principles thereof, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. To the extent that the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, or any of the provisions herein, conflict with the applicable provision of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control.

Section 22. Services Not Exclusive.

The services of CFS to SFS are not deemed exclusive, and CFS shall be free to render similar services to others, to the extent that such service does not affect CFS’s ability to perform its duties and obligations hereunder.

Section 23. Non-Solicitation.

Both parties further agree to not cause a client to cease or avoid doing business with the other party. For avoidance of doubt, if either party ceases to act as employer to an employee, the other party may employ or solicit that person for employment.

Fund Services Agreement

Sub-Transfer Agency Services

GENERAL:

Issuance and Transfer of Shares: CFS shall make original issues of Shares of each Fund and Class thereof in accordance with the Fund’s Prospectus only upon receipt of (i) instructions requesting the issuance, (ii) a certified copy of a resolution of the Board authorizing the issuance, (iii) necessary funds for the payment of any original issue tax applicable to such Shares, and (iv) an opinion of the Fund’s counsel as to the legality and validity of the issuance, which opinion may provide that it is contingent upon the filing by the Fund of an appropriate notice with the SEC, as required by Section 24 of the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder. If the opinion described in (iv) above is contingent upon a filing under Section 24 of the 1940 Act, the Fund shall indemnify CFS for any liability arising from the failure of the Fund to comply with that section or the rules thereunder.

Transfers of Shares of each Fund and Class thereof shall be registered on the Shareholder records maintained by CFS. In registering transfers of Shares, CFS may rely upon the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Virginia or any other statutes that, in the opinion of CFS’s counsel, protect CFS and the Fund from liability arising from (i) not requiring complete documentation, (ii) registering a transfer without an adverse claim inquiry, (iii) delaying registration for purposes of such inquiry or (iv) refusing registration whenever an adverse claim requires such refusal. As transfer agent, CFS will be responsible for delivery to the transferor and transferee of such documentation as is required by the Uniform Commercial Code.

Share Purchases: Shares shall be issued in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus after CFS or its agent receives either:

(a) The following

an instruction directing investment in a Fund or Class,

ii.

a check (other than a third-party check) or a wire or other electronic payment in the amount designated in the instruction; and

iii.

in the case of an initial purchase, a completed account application;

(b)

the information required for purchases pursuant to a selected dealer agreement, processing organization agreement, or a similar contract with a financial intermediary.

3. Eligibility to Receive Redemptions: Shares issued in a Fund after receipt of a completed purchase order shall be eligible to receive distributions of the Fund at the time specified in the Prospectus pursuant to which the Shares are offered.
