Duties as Sub-Adviser (a) Subject to the supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Board") and Adviser, the Sub-Adviser will provide a continuous investment program for each Fund, including investment research and management, with respect to all or a portion of the securities and investments and cash equivalents of the Fund (the "Sub-Advised Assets"), such Sub-Advised Assets to be determined by the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold with respect to the Sub-Advised Assets of each Fund, and the brokers and dealers through whom trades will be executed.
(b) The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with brokers and dealers, it will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers and dealers who sell shares of the Funds or provide the Funds, Adviser's other clients, or Sub-Adviser's other clients with research, analysis, advice and similar services. The Sub-Adviser may pay to brokers and dealers, in return for such research and analysis, a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers and dealers, subject to the Sub-Adviser determining in good faith that such commission or spread is reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to the Funds and their other clients and that the total commissions or spreads paid by each Fund will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Sub-Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder and any exemptive orders currently in effect. Whenever the Sub-Adviser simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of a Fund and one or more other accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to each account.
(c) The Sub-Adviser will maintain all required books and records with respect to the securities transactions of the Funds, and will furnish the Board and Adviser with such periodic and special reports as the Board or Adviser reasonably may request. Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Adviser are the property of the Adviser, and agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by applicable law any records which it maintains for the Adviser and which are required to be maintained, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Adviser any records which it maintains for the Adviser upon request by the Adviser.
Duties as Investment Adviser (a) Subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), Invesco PowerShares Capital Management will provide a continuous investment program for each Fund, including investment research and management with respect to all securities and investments and cash equivalents in the Fund. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management will determine, from time to time, what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management shall initially determine and make such modifications to the identity and number of shares of the securities to be accepted pursuant to such 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 such 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).
(b) Invesco PowerShares Capital Management agrees that, in placing orders with brokers, it will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution; provided that, on behalf of any Fund, Invesco PowerShares Capital Management may, in its discretion, use brokers who provide Invesco PowerShares Capital Management with research, analysis, advice and similar services, and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management may cause a Fund to pay to those brokers in return for brokerage and research services a higher commission than may be charged by other brokers, subject to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management’s determining in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the research and execution services received. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any applicable exemptive orders. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management may aggregate sales and purchase orders with respect to the assets of the Funds with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management or its affiliates. Whenever Invesco PowerShares Capital Management simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of a Fund and one or more other accounts advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable, over time, to each account. The Trust recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the results obtained for the Funds.
(c) Invesco PowerShares Capital Management will oversee the maintenance of all books and records with respect to the securities transactions of each Fund, and will furnish the Board with such periodic and special reports as the Board reasonably may request. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, Invesco PowerShares Capital Management hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Funds are the property of the Trust, agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records which it maintains for the Trust and which are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-l under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any records which it maintains for the Funds upon request by the Trust.
(d) Invesco PowerShares Capital Management will oversee the computation of the net asset value and the net income of each Fund as described in the currently effective registration statement of the Trust under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, and any amendments or supplements thereto (“Registration Statement”) or as more frequently requested by the Board.
(e) The Trust hereby authorizes Invesco PowerShares Capital Management and any entity or person associated with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on such exchange for the account of any Fund, which transaction is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, and the Trust hereby consents to the retention of compensation by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management or any person or entity associated with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management for such transaction.
Duties of Subadviser (a) Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Adviser, the Subadviser shall regularly provide the Fund, with respect to such portion of the Fund’s assets as shall be allocated to the Subadviser by the Adviser from time to time (the “Allocated Assets”), with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Allocated Assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), and subject to such other restrictions and limitations as directed by the officers of the Adviser or the Trust by notice in writing to the Subadviser. The Adviser will provide the Subadviser with reasonable advance notice of any change in a Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus and SAI, and the Subadviser shall, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, manage the Subadviser Assets consistent with such changes, provided that the Subadviser has received prompt notice of the effectiveness of such changes from the Trust or the Adviser. The Subadviser shall, with respect to the Allocated Assets, determine from time to time what securities and other investments and instruments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the Allocated Assets will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the 1940 Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund referred to above, any written instructions and directions of the Board or the Adviser provided to the Subadviser from time to time, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Subadviser. The Subadviser’s responsibility for providing investment research, advice, management and supervision to the Fund is limited to that discrete portion of the Fund represented by the Allocated Assets and the Subadviser is prohibited from directly or indirectly consulting with any other subadviser for a portion of the Fund’s assets concerning Fund transactions in securities or other assets. The Subadviser is authorized as the agent of the Trust to give instructions with respect to the Allocated Assets to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of the Fund in one or more investment companies.
(b) The Subadviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Subadviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict the Subadviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided herein.
(c) Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Fund authorizes any entity or person associated with the Subadviser that is a member of a national securities exchange, to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Trust which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Trust hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv) provided the transaction complies with the Trust’s Rule 17e-1 policies and procedures.
(d) Unless the Adviser advises the Subadviser in writing that the right to vote proxies has been expressly reserved to the Adviser or the Trust or otherwise delegated to another party, the Subadviser shall exercise voting rights incident to any security purchased with, or comprising a portion of, the Allocated Assets, in accordance with the Subadviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures without consultation with the Adviser or the Fund. The Subadviser agrees to furnish a copy of its proxy voting policies and procedures, and any amendments thereto, to the Adviser. The Subadviser also agrees to provide information to the Adviser or the Trust regarding proxies voted with respect to the Allocated Assets pursuant this section at such times and in a format requested by the Adviser or the Trust.
(e) The Subadviser will monitor the security valuations of the Allocated Assets. If the Subadviser believes that the Fund’s carrying value for a security does not fairly represent the price that could be obtained for the security in a current market transaction, the Subadviser will notify the Adviser promptly. In addition, the Subadviser will be available to consult with the Adviser in the event of a pricing problem and to participate in the Trust’s valuation meetings.

Duties of Servicer The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuing Entity, and (to the extent provided herein) the Indenture Trustee shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, exercises with respect to all comparable equipment receivables that it services for its Affiliates or others. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons or statements to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions.

If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s direction (and, so long as the Servicer is NH Credit, at the Servicer’s expense), take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders.

Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee With respect to the holders of the Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred
(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of the Securityholders pursuant to Section 5.07, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.
