The Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Adviser such copies of a Fund’s Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, financial statements, proxy statements, reports and other information relating to its business and affairs as the Adviser may, at any time or from time to time, reasonably require in order to discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement.

The Company agrees to provide the Adviser such information about the Company and the Funds as is necessary and appropriate for the Adviser to perform its services hereunder. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s charter and organizational documents, each as may be amended and restated from time to time, and all compliance policies and procedures of the Company. The Company agrees to provide to the Adviser promptly any amendment to the foregoing. If any such amendment would materially affect the services to be provided by, or the liability of, the Adviser hereunder, the Company agrees to provide the amendment to the Adviser prior to its adoption by the Board of Directors.

The Adviser shall prepare and furnish to the Company such reports, statistical data and other information in such form and at such intervals as the Company may reasonably request.

The Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the Act and will provide the Company with a copy of the code and evidence of its adoption. Within forty-five (45) days of the last calendar quarter of each year while this Agreement is in effect, the Adviser will provide to the Board of Directors a written report that describes any issues arising under the code of ethics since the last report to the Board of Directors, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the code and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations; and which certifies that the Adviser has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent “access persons” (as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1) from violating the code.

Subject to the Company’s obtaining the initial and periodic approvals required under Section 15 of the Act, the Adviser may retain one or more sub-advisers, at the Adviser’s own cost and expense, for the purpose of managing the investments of the assets of the Funds. Retention of one or more sub-advisers shall in no way reduce the responsibilities or obligations of the Adviser under this Agreement and the Adviser shall, subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, be responsible to the Company for all acts or omissions of any sub-adviser in connection with the performance of the Adviser’s duties hereunder.

The Adviser shall, for all purposes herein, be deemed to be an independent contractor, and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise authorized to do so, have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way, or in any way be deemed an agent for the Company. It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein contained shall limit the freedom of the Adviser or any affiliated person of the Adviser to render investment management and administrative services to other investment companies, to act as investment adviser or investment counselor to other persons, firms or corporations, or to engage in other business activities.

In the event that the Adviser proposes the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Funds to another fund managed by the Adviser and registered under the Investment Company Act, or proposes a similar transaction, the Company agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such transaction, provided that the Board of Directors shall have determined that such a proposed transaction is in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders and that the proposed transaction does not dilute the interests of shareholders of the Fund.

Neither the Adviser nor any director, manager, officer or employee of the Adviser performing services for the Company at the direction or request of the Adviser in connection with the Adviser’s discharge of its obligations hereunder shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Company in connection with any matter to which this Agreement relates, and the Adviser shall not be responsible for any action of the Directors of the Company in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation of the Adviser or any sub-adviser retained by the Adviser pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement; PROVIDED, that nothing herein contained shall be construed (i) to protect the Adviser against any liability to the Company or its shareholders to which the Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties, or by reason of the Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) to protect any director, manager, officer or employee of the Adviser who is or was a Director or officer of the Company against any liability of the Company or its shareholders to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office with the Company.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Company to take any action contrary to its charter documents or any applicable law, regulation or order to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Directors of the Company of their responsibility for and control of the conduct of the business and affairs of the Company.

The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first above written, and unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of two (2) years. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the Funds from year to year, subject to the termination provisions and all other terms and conditions hereof; PROVIDED, such continuance with respect to the Funds is approved at least annually in the manner required under the Act. The Adviser shall furnish to the Company, promptly upon its request, such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of this Agreement or any extension, renewal or amendment thereof.

Any amendment to this Agreement shall be in writing signed by the parties hereto; PROVIDED, that no such amendment shall be effective unless authorized (i) by resolution of the Directors of the Company, including the vote or written consent of a majority of the Directors of the Company who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of either party hereto, (ii) by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds affected by such amendment as required by applicable law, and (iii) by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of either party hereto. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its assignment.

This Agreement may be terminated as to any Fund at any time by either party hereto, without the payment of any penalty, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other party; PROVIDED, that in the case of termination by any Fund, such action shall have been authorized (i) by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, including the vote or written consent of Directors of the Company who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of either party hereto, or (ii) by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. In the event of a termination, both parties shall cooperate in the orderly transfer of a Fund’s affairs and, at the request of either party, transfer, at the Fund’s expense, any and all books and records of the Fund maintained by either party on behalf of the Fund.

For so long as this Agreement remains effective, the Company and the Funds shall have a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the names “Rareview Capital LLC”, “Rareview,” and “Rareview Funds” (collectively, the “Adviser Names”) solely in connection with the Company and the Funds. The Company and the Funds acknowledge that the Adviser Names and any derivatives or combinations thereof are the sole and exclusive property of the Adviser (or the Adviser’s related entities), and the Company and the Funds agree that they will not contest ownership or validity of the Adviser Names. The Company and the Funds will use the Adviser Names according to the Adviser’s trademark standards. The Adviser makes no representations or warranties in respect of the relative superiority of its rights in the Adviser Names to the rights of any third party in the Adviser Names. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser shall have no liability to the Company or the Funds for or in respect of any claim by any third party that the Company’s or the Funds’ use of the Adviser Names infringes upon or otherwise violates any proprietary or other rights of such third party. Within sixty (60) days from such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect, the Company and Funds shall cease to use the Adviser Names and any other name connected with the Adviser unless such usage is made in a filing by the Company or the Funds required under the federal securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall impair or diminish in any respect the Adviser’s right to use the Adviser Names in the name of, or in connection with, any other business enterprise with which the Adviser is or may become associated.

The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Company’s charter documents and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Company or the Funds, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Company or the Funds, as the case may be, and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Company. In addition, the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Directors or any individual Director. The Adviser understands and agrees that the Adviser must look solely to the assets of the Funds for the enforcement or satisfaction of any claims against the that Fund.

The Adviser agrees to treat all records and other information relating to the Company and the securities holdings of the Funds as confidential and shall not disclose any such records or information to any other person unless (i) the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the disclosure or (ii) such disclosure is compelled by law. In addition, the Adviser and the Adviser’s officers, directors and employees are prohibited from receiving compensation or other consideration, for themselves or on behalf of the Funds, as a result of disclosing the Funds’ portfolio holdings. The Adviser agrees that, consistent with the Adviser’s Code of Ethics, neither the Adviser nor the Adviser’s officers, directors, members or employees may engage in personal securities transactions based on nonpublic information about a Fund’s portfolio holdings.

The Company shall treat as confidential and shall require its Directors, officers, agents and service providers to treat as confidential all information provided to the Company or any such persons by the Adviser that is marked or identified as non-public relating to the business, financial condition and investment processes of the Adviser and shall not disclose any such information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Adviser, except that the Company may disclose such information as required by applicable law, regulation or upon request to a regulator, counsel to the Company or auditor of the Company.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to preempt, or to be inconsistent with, any federal law, regulation or rule, including the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the Act and to interpretation thereof, if any, by the United States courts, or, in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission validly issued pursuant to the Act. Specifically, the terms “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “interested persons,” “assignment” and “affiliated person,” as used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them by Section 2(a) of the Act. In addition, when the effect of a requirement of the Act reflected in any provision of this Agreement is modified, interpreted or relaxed by a rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether of special or of general application, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.

Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be deemed to confer on any person or entity other than the parties hereto any benefits, rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. No person or entity, including, without limitation, shareholders of the Funds, shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute or rule, or shall be otherwise rendered invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delineate any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
