The appointment of Sub-Advisors shall be subject to approval by the Board and, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or any other law or regulation, approval of the shareholders of the Trust. The Adviser shall initially determine and make such modifications to the identity and number of shares of the securities to be accepted pursuant to each Fund’s benchmark index in exchange for “Creation Units” for each Fund and the securities that will be applicable that day to redemption requests received for each Fund as may be necessary as a result of rebalancing adjustments and corporate action events (and may give directions to the Trust’s custodian with respect to such designations). The Adviser will keep the Trust informed of developments materially affecting the Fund, and will, on its own initiative, furnish the Trust from time to time with whatever information the Adviser believes is appropriate for this purpose.
