WHEREAS, Administrator and the Trust wish to enter into this Amendment to the Agreement in order to add an additional Fund and additional Classes to the Agreement and specify the waivers applicable to the fees payable to Administrator under the Administration 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 Administrator 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 Registration Statement for the Cavanal Hill Funds that was filed November 15, 2013 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.

(b) Administrator represents that it has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Amendment.
4. Future Waivers.
This Amendment shall not limit or control any future decision by the Administrator to grant a voluntary waiver of any of the Funds.

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.
