Common use of Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Adviser Clause in Contracts

Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Adviser. The Trustees may in their discretion from time to time enter into an investment advisory or management contract or contracts with respect to the Trust or any Series, providing for investment advisory services, statistical and research facilities and services and such other facilities and services to be furnished to the Trust or Series on terms and conditions acceptable to the Trustees. Any such contract may provide for the investment adviser to affect purchases, sales or exchanges of portfolio securities or other Trust Property on behalf of the Trustees or may authorize any officer, agent, or Trustee to affect such purchases, sales or exchanges pursuant to recommendations of the investment adviser (and all without further action by the Trustees). Any such investment transactions shall be deemed to have been authorized by the Trustees. The Trustees may authorize, subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, the investment adviser to employ one or more sub-advisers to perform such of the acts and services of the investment adviser, and upon such terms and conditions, as may be agreed upon between the investment adviser and sub-adviser, and the Trustees may in their discretion, from time to time, enter into such agreements on behalf of the Trust. Any reference in this Declaration to the investment adviser shall be deemed to include such sub-advisers, unless the context otherwise requires.
