This Schedule A-1 is part of the Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated September 14, 2022, entered into by and between Capitol Series Trust (the “Trust”) and Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”). Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

All fees set forth herein shall be applicable to each Fund upon the earlier of the Effective Date of this Agreement or the date in which a Fund commences operations.

Standard Service Fees:

Annual fee of $[REDACTED] for the first Fund in each Fund Family, $[REDACTED] for each additional Fund in the same Fund Family, and $[REDACTED] for each sub-adviser. The term “Fund Family” refers to all Funds in the Trust with the same investment adviser.

PLUS:

●

[REDACTED] basis point (%) per annum of each Fund’s net assets over

$100 million.

Basis point fees are expressed as annual percentage rates, but shall accrue quarterly, with net asset values determined as of the last day of the preceding quarter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Funds identified with an “*” on Schedule D to the Agreement shall be “Grandfathered Funds” and shall be subject to the fees described in the applicable fee schedule attached hereto, plus itemized fees as follows.

On each anniversary date of the Agreement, NLCS will increase the base fees listed in Section 1 above or in the applicable fee schedules attached hereto by an amount not to exceed the average annual change for the prior calendar year in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers - All Items (seasonally adjusted)¹ plus 1.5%.

A one-time fee of $[REDACTED] for each initial site visit to an adviser or sub-adviser to a Fund for due diligence and onboarding purposes.

This fee is waived where ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the Service Provider.

If the Board requires NLCS to perform a heightened level of diligence with respect to a Fund’s investment adviser or any sub-adviser (i.e., work which, in NLCS’s sole determination, is outside the scope of its standard due diligence processes) or an investment adviser otherwise requests that NLCS perform a heightened level of diligence and NLCS agrees to do so, NLCS will charge an
