The Subadvisor will provide the services under this Agreement in accordance with the Series’ investment objective or objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Trust’s/Company’s Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as amended, copies of which shall be delivered to the Subadvisor by the Manager. The Subadvisor further agrees as follows: (a) The Subadvisor understands that the Allocated Assets of the Series need to be managed so as to permit the Series to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and will coordinate efforts with the Manager with that objective. (b) The Subadvisor will conform with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations thereunder, all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, any applicable procedures adopted by the Trust’s/Company’s Board of which a copy has been delivered to the Subadvisor, and the provisions of the Registration Statement of the Trust/Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the 1940 Act, as supplemented or amended, copies of which shall be delivered to the Subadvisor by the Manager.
