Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings given them in the Existing Agreement.

Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue for an initial one-year term and thereafter shall be renewed for successive one-year terms, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Trust’s Board of Trustees or (ii) by a vote of a majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (“1940 Act”) and Rule 18f-2 thereunder) of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds, provided that in either event the Agreement’s continuance is also approved by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement and who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person (or virtually, if then-permitted by exemptive or other relief) at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. This Agreement is terminable without penalty, on at least sixty (60) days’ written notice, by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, by vote of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act and Rule 18f-2 thereunder) of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds, or by Distributor.
