• Investment Sub-Advisory Services Sub-Adviser shall serve as investment sub-adviser and shall supervise and direct the investments of each series of Penn Series listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Fund”), as such Exhibit may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties hereto, and to exercise all rights incidental to ownership in accordance with the investment objectives, program and restrictions applicable to the Fund as provided in Penn Series’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as may be imposed by law or as Penn Series or Adviser may impose with notice in writing to Sub-Adviser. To enable Sub-Adviser to fully exercise its discretion, Adviser hereby appoints Sub-Adviser as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Fund with full power and authority to buy, sell and otherwise deal in securities and contracts for the Fund.

Sub-Adviser shall, in its discretion, obtain and evaluate such information relating to the economy, industries, businesses, securities markets and securities as it may deem necessary or useful in the discharge of its obligations hereunder and shall formulate and implement a continuing program for the management of the assets and resources of the Fund in a manner consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund. In furtherance of this duty, Sub-Adviser, as agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to Adviser and Penn Series, is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with Adviser or Penn Series, to:

• Sub-Advisors The Advisor may from time to time, in its sole discretion to the extent permitted by applicable law, appoint one or more sub-advisors, including, without limitation, affiliates of the Advisor, to perform investment advisory services with respect to the Fund.

The Sub-Advisor accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish the services hereinafter set forth for the compensation herein provided. The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Manager in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or the Manager.

• Multiple Sub-Advisory Agreements This Contract has been signed by multiple parties; namely the Adviser, on one hand, and each Sub-Adviser, on the other. The parties have signed one document for administrative convenience to avoid a multiplicity of documents. It is understood and agreed that this document shall constitute a separate sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser with respect to the Trust, as if the Adviser and such Sub-Adviser had executed a separate sub-advisory agreement naming such Sub-Adviser as a sub-adviser to the Trust. With respect to any one Sub-Adviser, (i) references in this Contract to "a Sub-Adviser" or to "each Sub-Adviser" shall be deemed to refer only to such Sub-Adviser, and (ii) the term "this Contract" shall be construed according to the foregoing provisions.

• Appointment as Sub-Advisor The Advisor hereby appoints the Sub-Advisor to act as investment adviser for and to manage the Sub-Advisor Assets, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, and subject to the terms of this Agreement; and the Sub-Advisor hereby accepts such appointment. In such capacity, the Sub-Advisor shall be responsible for the investment management of the Sub-Advisor Assets. The Sub-Advisor agrees to exercise the same degree of skill, care and diligence in performing its services under this Agreement as the Sub-Advisor exercises in performing similar services with respect to other fiduciary accounts for which the Sub-Advisor has investment responsibilities, and that a prudent manager would exercise under the circumstances.
