The Agreement is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of a new Section 2.F as follows:

F. CCO Duties of Tidal

(1)

Subject to the approval of the Board, Tidal shall make available a qualified person who is competent and knowledgeable regarding the federal securities laws to act as the Trust’s CCO. Tidal’s responsibility for the activities of the CCO are limited to the extent that the Board shall make all decisions regarding the designation and termination of the CCO and shall review and approve the compensation of the CCO as provided by Rule 38a-1.

(2)

With respect to the Trust, the CCO shall provide the services as set forth on Exhibit D to the Agreement (the “Services”) in regards to the Trust and each adviser (each, an “Adviser”), sub-adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”), and index provider (each, an “Index Provider”) of the Trust.

(3)

Tidal may provide other services and assistance relating to the affairs of the Trust as the Trust may, from time to time, request subject to mutually acceptable compensation and implementation agreements.

(4)

Tidal shall maintain records relating to its services, such as compliance policies and procedures, relevant Board presentations, annual reviews, and other records, as are required to be maintained under the 1940 Act and Rule 38a-1 (collectively, the “Records”). Such Records shall be maintained in the manner and for the periods as are required under such laws and regulations. The Records shall be the property of the Trust. The Trust, or the Trust’s authorized representatives, shall have access to the Records at all times during ▇▇▇▇▇’s normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Trust, copies of any of the Records shall be provided promptly by Tidal to the Trust or its authorized representatives at the Trust’s expense.

(5)

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Tidal to perform any service that could cause Tidal to be deemed an investment adviser for purposes of the 1940 Act or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or that could cause any Fund to act in contravention of such Fund’s Prospectus or any provision of the 1940 Act. Further, while Tidal will provide consulting and other services under this Agreement to assist the Trust with respect to the Trust’s obligations under and compliance with various laws and regulations, Trust understands and agrees that Tidal is not a law firm and that nothing contained herein shall be construed to create an attorney-client relationship between the Parties or to require Tidal to render legal advice or otherwise engage in the practice of law in any jurisdiction. Thus, except with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇’s duties as set forth in this Section 2 and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trust assumes all responsibility for ensuring that the Trust and each of its Funds complies with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the 1940 Act and any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Trust or the Funds. All references to any law in this Agreement shall be deemed to include reference to the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under authority of the law and all official interpretations of such law or rules or regulations.

(6)

Tidal does not offer legal or accounting services and does not provide substitute services for the services provided by legal counsel or that of a certified public accountant.

(7)

In order for Tidal to perform the services required by this Section 2.F, the Trust shall (1) instruct all service providers to furnish any and all information to Tidal as reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇, and assist ▇▇▇▇▇ as may be required and (2) ensure that Tidal has access to all records and documents maintained by the Trust or any service provider related to the Trust.

Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following new paragraph:

In addition to, and not in lieu of, any other compensation payable under the Agreement, the following provision reflects the compensation due Tidal for its provision of compliance services to the Trust:

(a) In consideration of the compliance services provided by Tidal pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust shall pay Tidal the fees and expenses set forth in Exhibit C to the Agreement.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇ may, with respect to questions of law relating to its services hereunder, apply to and obtain the advice and opinion of Trust counsel. The costs of any such advice or opinion shall be borne by the Trust.

(c) The CCO is serving solely as an officer of the Trust, and neither the CCO nor Tidal shall be responsible for, or have any obligation to pay, any of the expenses of the Trust or any of its Funds.

(6)

It shall compensate the CCO fairly, subject to the Board’s right under any applicable regulation (e.g., Rule 38a-1) to approve the designation, termination and level of compensation of the CCO.

The Trust, and not Tidal, shall be solely responsible for approval of the designation of the CCO, as well as for removing the CCO, as the case may be, from his or her responsibilities related to the Funds in accordance with Rule 38a-1. Therefore, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, the Trust shall supervise the activities of the CCO with regard to such activities.
