Dear Sir or Madam:

Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, with its principal offices at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, is the investment adviser to Embark Cayman Fund VI Ltd (the “CFC”). The Fund has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands to enable the Embark Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Harbor Fund”) to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Harbor Fund is a series of Harbor Funds II, a U.S. registered investment company, and the Fund is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Harbor Fund. Summerhaven Investment Management, LLC (“you”, “your” or “yours”) serves as sub-investment adviser to the Harbor Fund. The Adviser has selected you to act as a sub-investment adviser of the Fund and to provide certain other services, as more fully set forth herein (the “Agreement”). You are willing to act as such a sub-investment adviser and to perform such services under the Agreement. Accordingly, the Adviser and the Fund agree with you as follows:

1. Delivery of Fund Documents. The Adviser has furnished you with copies, properly certified or authenticated, of each of the following:

(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Fund;

(b) The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Fund as in effect on the date hereof (the “Organizational Documents”); and

(c) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Fund selecting you as investment adviser and approving the form of this Agreement.

The Adviser will furnish you from time to time with copies of all material amendments of or supplements to the foregoing.

2. Advisory Services. You will regularly provide the Fund with advice concerning the investment management of that portion of the Fund’s assets that are allocated to you, which advice shall be consistent with the Organizational Documents, as amended or supplemented, and any investment guidelines or other instructions received in writing from the Adviser. The Board of Directors or the Adviser may, from time to time, make additions to and withdrawals from the

assets of the Fund allocated to you. You will determine what securities and other financial instruments shall be purchased for such portion of the Fund’s assets, what securities and other financial instruments shall be held or sold by such portions of the Fund’s assets, and what portion of such assets shall be held uninvested, subject always to the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund, as each of the same shall be from time to time in effect, and other provisions of the Fund’s Organizational Documents, as amended or supplemented, or any investment guidelines or other instructions received by you in writing from the Adviser, and subject, further, to such policies and instructions as the Board of Directors may from time to time establish and deliver to you. In accordance with paragraph 5, you or your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities with brokers or dealers selected by you for that portion of the Fund’s assets for which you serve as sub-investment adviser.

You shall have no responsibility for actions taken in reliance on the Organizational Documents; the Fund’s written investment objectives and policies; and written instructions, each as in effect from time to time. You will conform your conduct to, and will ensure that your management of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to you complies with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”), and all rules and regulations thereunder, all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and with the provisions of the Fund’s Organizational Documents, as amended or supplemented. You shall also ensure, in managing the Fund’s assets and with respect to the Harbor Fund’s investment in the Fund, that the Harbor Fund remains in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and all rules and regulations thereunder and with the Internal Revenues Code of 1986, as amended.

The Board has delegated to you discretionary authority to exercise voting rights with respect to all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities and other investments in the portion of the assets of the Fund managed by you. You shall be responsible for the administration of the proxy voting process and exercise these voting rights or refrain from voting in accordance with your then-current proxy voting policy, procedures and/or guidelines, as provided to us from time to time and based on the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. You are authorized to instruct the Fund’s custodian as necessary in order for you to receive proxies and shareholder communications relating to securities held in the portion of the Fund’s assets managed by you. You will maintain appropriate records detailing your voting of proxies on behalf of the Fund and, upon the Adviser’s reasonable request, will provide a report setting forth the names of the issuers, proposals voted on, how the Fund’s shares were voted and your resolution of any conflicts of interest.

You shall maintain written compliance policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure the Fund’s compliance with the foregoing and to prevent yourself and the Fund from violating applicable federal securities laws. You agree to provide the Fund and the Adviser with such reports and certifications and with such access to your officers and employees as the Fund or Adviser may reasonably request for the purpose of assessing the adequacy of your compliance policies and procedures. You agree to notify the Adviser immediately upon detection of any breach of any of the Fund’s policies, guidelines or procedures and of any violation of any applicable law or regulation relating to that portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to you. You also agree to notify us promptly upon detection of any material violations of your compliance policies and procedures that relate to the Fund or your activities as an investment adviser generally, such as when the violation could be considered material to your advisory clients.

You shall keep the Fund’s books and records to be maintained by you and shall timely furnish to the Adviser all information relating to your services hereunder needed by the Adviser to keep other books and records of the Fund required by Rule 31a-1 under the Investment Company Act. You agree that all records which you maintain for the Fund are the property of the Fund and you shall surrender promptly upon request and without any charge to the Fund any of such records required to be maintained by you.

Upon reasonable request from the Adviser, you will reasonably assist the Fund in valuing securities or other financial instruments of the Fund as may be required from time to time, including making available information of which you have knowledge related to the securities or other financial instruments being valued.

You shall promptly provide the Fund and the Adviser with any information you receive regarding class action claims or any other legal matters involving any security or other financial instrument held in the Fund and shall cooperate with the Fund and the Adviser to the extent necessary for the Fund or the Adviser to pursue and/or participate in any such action or matter.

In the performance of your duties hereunder, you are and shall be an independent contractor and unless otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise authorized in writing, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Fund or of the Adviser. You will make your officers and employees available to meet with the Fund’s Board of Directors or Adviser’s officers at least quarterly on due notice to review the investments and investment program of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to you in light of current and prospective economic and market conditions. You will cooperate with the Fund’s independent public accountants and take all reasonable action in the performance of services and obligations under this Agreement to assure that the information needed by such accountants is made available to them for the expression of their opinion without any qualification as to the scope of their audit.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any of your directors, officers and employees to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any business, whether of a similar or a dissimilar nature, nor limit or restrict your right to engage in any other business or to render service of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association, except as specifically prescribed in paragraph 4.

You may not delegate to any person, including to one or more companies that you control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, or to specified employees of any such companies, any of your duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Adviser.

3. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. You will bear your own costs of providing services hereunder. You will not be required to pay any expenses of the Fund.

4. Compensation of the Subadviser. For all investment management services to be rendered hereunder, the Adviser will pay to you a fee, as set forth in Schedule A hereto, quarterly in arrears, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets (as defined below) of the portion of the Fund that you managed during the quarter. “Average daily net assets” means the average of the values placed on the net assets of the portion of the Fund that you managed on each day on which the net asset value of the Fund’s portfolio is determined. The net assets of the Fund are valued in the manner specified in the Fund’s Organizational Documents by the Fund’s custodian. If determination of the value of net assets is suspended for any particular business day, then for the purposes of this paragraph 4, the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of the net assets. If the Fund’s custodian determines the value of the net assets of the Fund’s portfolio more than once on any day, the last such determination thereof on that day shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the purposes of this paragraph 4.

5. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position and Brokerage. In connection with purchases or sales of securities and other financial instruments for the account of the portion of the Fund allocated to you, neither you nor any of your directors, officers, employees or affiliates will act as a principal or agent or receive any compensation in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other financial instruments by the Fund, other than the compensation provided for in this Agreement, except as permitted by law and approved by the Board of Directors. You or your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other financial instruments for the portion of the Fund’s account allocated to you with brokers or dealers selected by you. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, you are directed at all times to seek for the Fund the most favorable execution and net price available. It is also understood that it is desirable for the Fund that you have access to supplemental investment and market research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, you are authorized, consistent with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other financial instruments for the Fund with such certain brokers if you determine, in good faith, that such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or your overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund, subject to review by the Board of Directors from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to you in connection with your services to other clients. If any occasion should arise in which you give any advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you will act solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of the Fund.

You will advise the Fund’s custodian and the Adviser on a prompt basis of each purchase and sale of a security and other financial instrument, specifying the name of the issuer, the description and amount or number of shares of the security purchased, the market price, commission and gross or net price, trade date, settlement date and identity of the effecting broker or dealer and such other information as may be reasonably required. From time to time as the Fund or the Adviser may request, you will furnish to the Fund’s officers and to each of its Directors reports on portfolio transactions and reports on issues of securities and other financial instruments held in the portfolio, all in such detail as the Fund or the Adviser may reasonably request.

On occasions when you deem the purchase or sale of a security or other financial instrument to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as other of your clients, you, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or other financial instruments to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or other financial instruments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, shall be made by you in the manner you consider to be the most equitable and consistent with your fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.

To the extent you engage in block trades in futures and other derivatives, you agree to fulfill any relating notification requirements with respect to the Fund under applicable requirements of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).

The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13. Confidentiality. You shall maintain all non-public information regarding the Fund’s portfolio, including the list of portfolio securities held by the Fund, which you receive or have access to in the course of performing your duties hereunder as strictly confidential. You shall not disclose or disseminate such non-public information to any third party unless such disclosure is approved in writing by the Fund or the Adviser or is otherwise required by law.
