Term; Termination; Amendment This Agreement shall become effective and shall run for an initial period as specified for each Fund in Schedule A hereto. This Agreement shall continue in force from year to year after the initial period with respect to each Fund, but only as long as such continuance is specifically approved for each Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if the continuation of this Agreement is not approved for each Fund, the Sub-Adviser may continue to serve in such capacity for each Fund in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by either party on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser. This Agreement may also be terminated by the Trust with respect to each Fund by action of the Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser by the Trust. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to each Fund at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Manager, the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Sub-Adviser or any officer or director of the Sub-Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of the covenants of the Sub-Adviser set forth herein. The terms “assignment” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the Sub-Adviser to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation described in Section 4 earned prior to such termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event the Investment Management Agreement between the Manager and the Trust is terminated, assigned or not renewed. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by an authorized representative of each of the parties.

The foregoing requirement that continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission. This Agreement may be terminated as to any Portfolio at any time, without the payment of any penalty by vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio on not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice to the Adviser, or by the Adviser at any time without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days written notice to the Trust. This Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in writing, addressed and delivered, or mailed postpaid, to the other party at any office of such party. As used in this Section 12, the terms "assignment," "interested persons," and a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the respective meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Commission under said Act.
Termination; Amendment a. In addition to the automatic termination of this Agreement specified in Section 1.c. of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement may unilaterally cancel its participation in this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. In addition, each party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the other party of that other party's material breach of this Agreement. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given and to be effective on the date on which it was either delivered personally to the other party or any officer or member thereof, or was mailed postpaid or delivered to a telegraph office for transmission to the other party's designated person at the addresses shown herein or in the most recent NASD Manual.
b. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the appointment of a Trustee under the Securities Investor Protection Act or any other act of insolvency by Dealer.
c. The termination of this Agreement by any of the foregoing means shall have no effect upon transactions entered into prior to the effective date of termination and shall not relieve Dealer of its obligations, duties and indemnities specified in this Agreement. A trade placed by Dealer subsequent to its voluntary termination of this Agreement will not serve to reinstate the Agreement. Reinstatement, except in the case of a temporary suspension of Dealer, will only be effective upon written notification by Distributor.
d. This Agreement is not assignable or transferable and will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder. The Distributor may, however, transfer any of its duties under this Agreement to any entity that controls or is under common control with Distributor.
e. This Agreement may be amended by Distributor at any time by written notice to Dealer. Dealer's placing of an order or accepting payment of any kind after the effective date and receipt of notice of such amendment shall constitute Dealer's acceptance of such amendment.

Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for all expenses which they have agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof.
