The term "professional services" includes especially independent scientific, literary, artistic, educational or teaching activities as well as the independent activities of physicians, lawyers, engineers, architects, dentists and accountants.

Sub-Advisory Services The Sub-Adviser shall have full discretionary authority for portfolio investment decisions for a Fund (or each portion of a Fund’s assets allocated to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser), including determining, from time to time, what securities (and other financial instruments) shall be purchased for the Fund, what securities (and other financial instruments) shall be held or sold by the Fund, and what portion of the Fund’s assets shall be held uninvested in cash, subject always to the provisions of the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information as set forth in the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A (the “Registration Statement”) under the 1940 Act, and under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), covering Fund shares, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and to the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of each Fund, as shall be from time to time in effect, and such other limitations, policies and procedures as the Board or the Adviser may reasonably impose from time to time and provide in writing to the Sub-Adviser (the “Investment Policies”). No reference in this Agreement to the Sub-Adviser having full discretionary authority over each Fund’s portfolio investment decisions shall in any way limit the right of the Board or the Adviser to establish or revise policies in connection with the management of a Fund’s assets or to otherwise exercise its right to control the overall management of the Trust and each Fund. The scope of the Sub-Adviser’s authority for trading portfolio securities (and other financial instruments) for a Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions (“trading authority”), shall initially be as set forth on Schedule A hereto (which may differ by Fund). The Adviser may revise the scope of the Sub-Adviser’s trading authority upon the provision of at least 30 days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser. Absent the Sub-Adviser’s provision of written notice declining such change, such a change shall be effective as of the later of the end of such 30-day period or the date set forth in such notice. If Schedule A indicates “partially discretionary” trading authority, initially, the Adviser shall retain discretionary trading authority for a mutually agreed subset of the Fund’s portfolio investments (the “Subset”), and the Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for providing non-discretionary trading recommendations to the Adviser with respect to the Subset (in accordance with the applicable terms of the “non-discretionary” trading authority paragraph below). In addition, the Sub-Adviser shall have full discretionary trading authority for the remaining portion of the Fund’s portfolio (in accordance with the applicable terms of the “discretionary” trading authority paragraph below). If Schedule A indicates “fully discretionary” trading authority, initially, the Sub-Adviser shall exercise full trading authority for a Fund with respect to purchases, sales or other transactions, as well as with respect to all other such things necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such purchases, sales or other transactions. If Schedule A indicates “non-discretionary” trading authority, initially, the Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for promptly informing the Adviser (or another investment sub-advisory firm designated by the Adviser (herein, a “Trading Adviser”)) of portfolio investment decisions for a Fund in writing pursuant to mutually agreed notification protocols. In turn, the parties understand and acknowledge that the Adviser or the Trading Adviser, as the case may be, will fully rely on such notifications to effect the security (and other financial instrument) trading execution for each Fund’s portfolio investments. Additionally, the Adviser and the Trading Adviser, as the case may be, has full discretionary authority to select broker-dealers to effect the trading execution for a Fund’s portfolio investments. In the event the Adviser or the Trading Adviser desire clarification on a particular Sub-Adviser notification, the Adviser or the Trading Adviser, as the case may be, will seek guidance from the Sub-Adviser prior to executing any transaction in question. In any case (e.g., non-discretionary, partial discretion, or full discretion), the Adviser may retain such discretionary authority as it deems appropriate for effecting in-kind and other transactions of Fund portfolio investments vis-à-vis “creation units.” Regardless of the scope of the Sub-Adviser’s trading authority, the Sub-Adviser acknowledges that the Board retains ultimate authority over each Fund and may take any and all actions necessary and reasonable to protect the interests of Fund shareholders.
