The Subadviser shall manage the investment and reinvestment of the portfolio assets of the Portfolio, all without prior consultation with the Adviser, subject to and in accordance with: i. the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the Portfolio set forth in the Trusts Registration Statement and the Charter Documents, as such Registration Statement and Charter Documents may be amended from time to time; ii. the requirements applicable to registered investment companies under applicable laws and those requirements applicable to both regulated investment companies and segregated asset accounts under Subchapter M and Section 817(h) of the Code including but not limited to, the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and the regulations thereunder iii. any written instructions, policies and guidelines which the Adviser or the Trusts Board of Trustees may issue and provide to the Subadviser from time to time, all as from time to time in effect; and iv. with all applicable provisions of law, including without limitation all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and the interpretive opinions thereof of the staff of the SEC (SEC Positions). b. In furtherance thereof and subject to the foregoing, the Subadviser shall make all determinations with respect to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and other financial instruments and shall take such action necessary to implement the same. c. The Subadviser shall render such reports to the Trusts Board of Trustees, the Adviser and the Advisers administrator as they may reasonably request from time to time concerning the investment activities of the Portfolio, including without limitation all material as reasonably may be requested by the Trustees of the Trust pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, and agrees to review the Portfolio and discuss the management of the Portfolio with representatives or agents of the Trusts Board of Trustees, the Adviser and the administrator at their reasonable request. d. Unless the Adviser gives the Subadviser written instructions to the contrary, the Subadviser shall, in good faith and in a manner which it reasonably believes best serves the interests of the Portfolios shareholders, timely direct the Portfolios custodian as to how to vote such proxies as may be necessary or advisable in connection with any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of securities held by the Portfolio. e. Absent instructions from the Adviser to the contrary and to the extent provided in the Trusts Registration Statement, as such Registration Statement may be amended from time to time, the Subadviser shall, in the name of the Portfolio, place orders for the execution of portfolio transactions with or through such brokers, dealers or other financial institutions as it may select, including affiliates of the Subadviser provided such orders comply with Rule 17e-1 (or any successor or other relevant regulations) under the 1940 Act. f. To the extent consistent with applicable law and then current SEC Positions and absent written instructions from the Adviser to the contrary, purchase or sell orders for the Portfolio may be aggregated with contemporaneous purchase or sell orders of other clients of the Subadviser. In the selection of brokers or dealers or other execution agents and the placing of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Portfolio, the Subadviser shall seek to obtain for the Portfolio the best execution available. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Portfolio the best execution available, the Subadviser, bearing in mind the Portfolios best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, breadth of the market in the security; price; the size of the transaction; the nature of the market for the security; the amount of the commission; the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends; the reputation, experience, execution capability, and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved; and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees and Adviser may determine and applicable law, including any relevant SEC Positions, the Subadviser may cause the Portfolio to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Subadviser an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction 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 was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Subadvisers overall responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio and to other clients of the Subadviser as to which the Subadviser exercises investment discretion. g. Subject to seeking the most favorable price and execution, the Board of Trustees or the Adviser may direct the Subadviser to effect transactions in portfolio securities and other financial instruments through broker-dealers in a manner that will help generate resources to pay the cost of certain expenses which the Trust is required to pay or for which the Trust is required to arrange payment. To the extent the Subadviser is directed to use only the specified brokers for the Portfolio, the Trust may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the Portfolio than would otherwise be the case if the Subadviser used other or multiple brokers. h. In connection with the placement of orders for the execution of the portfolio transactions of the Portfolio, the Subadviser shall create and maintain all necessary records pertaining to the purchase and sale of securities and other financial instruments by the Subadviser on behalf of the Portfolio in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to records required by Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act. All records shall be the property of the Trust and shall be available for inspection and use by the SEC, the Trust, the Adviser or any person retained by the Trust at all reasonable times.

In accordance with Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act, the Subadviser has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Advisers Act and any rules thereunder by the Subadviser and its supervised persons. Further, the Subadviser reviews and shall continue to review, at least annually, its written policies and procedures and the effectiveness of their implementation and shall designate an individual (who is a supervised person) who is responsible for administering such policies and procedures. j. The Subadviser shall: i. Comply with the Trusts written compliance policies and procedures pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act; ii. Promptly provide to the Adviser copies of its annual compliance review report (or a summary of the process and findings), as well as copies of such tems as third-party compliance audits; iii. Notify the Adviser promptly after the completion by the SEC or other regulators or a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) of an examination, inquiry, investigation or institution of a proceeding relating directly or indirectly to the Portfolio or that would have a material impact on the Subadviser; and iv. Notify the Adviser promptly of any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act) relating directly or indirectly to the Portfolio, the Trust, the Adviser or the Subadviser of which it is aware and actions taken in response to issues or items raised by the SEC, an SRO or other regulators. k. The Subadviser shall (1) maintain procedures regarding the use of derivatives, and (2) provide such certifications and reports regarding the use of derivatives, including with respect to asset segregation, as may be reasonably requested by the Trust or the Adviser. l. The Subadviser shall bear its expenses of providing services pursuant to this Agreement, but shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of the Adviser, the Trust, or the Portfolio, including without limitation: (a) interest and taxes; (b) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other financial instruments for the Portfolio; and (c) custodian fees and expenses. m. The Subadviser shall, as part of a complete portfolio compliance testing program, perform quarterly diversification testing of the Portfolio under Section 817(h) of the Code. The Subadviser shall provide timely notice each calendar quarter that such diversification was satisfied or if not satisfied, that corrections were made within 30 days of the end of the calendar quarter.
