A. Investment Subadvisory Services. Subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Adviser, the Subadviser shall manage the investments of the Subadviser Assets in accordance with (i) the Fund’s investment objective, policies, and restrictions as provided in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”), (ii) the portfolio guidelines agreed from time to time in writing by the Adviser and the Subadviser (the “Guidelines”), (iii) except as specifically set forth in the Guidelines, the requirements applicable to registered investment companies under applicable laws (including the 1940 Act) and (iv) such other limitations as the Adviser may institute in writing and provide to Subadviser within a reasonable time prior to implementation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subadviser agrees that it will manage the Subadviser Assets in accordance with the investment limitations and other restrictions under the 1940 Act as if the Subadviser Assets constituted a separate investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Subadviser further agrees to manage the investments of the Subadviser Assets in accordance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as if the Subadviser Assets constituted a separate investment company registered under the 1940 Act, except as otherwise specifically set forth in the Guidelines. Without limiting the preceding obligations of the Subadviser, if the Adviser notifies the Subadviser that the Adviser has determined, in its sole discretion, that the Subadviser Assets are not in compliance with any of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, Prospectus, Guidelines, the 1940 Act or the Code, the Subadviser will immediately take action to bring the Subadviser Assets back into compliance; provided, however, the Subadviser’s action shall not, in and of itself, constitute an admission by the Subadviser that the Subadviser Assets are not in compliance with the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, Prospectus, Guidelines, the 1940 Act or the Code. The Subadviser shall (a) make investment decisions for the Subadviser Assets and select securities for purchase or sale with respect to the Subadviser assets; (b) place purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions for the Subadviser Assets; and (c) employ professional portfolio managers and investment analysts whose duties include, without limitation, providing research services with respect to the Subadviser Assets. In providing these services, the Subadviser will conduct a program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the Subadviser Assets, including the amount to be held uninvested as cash or in cash equivalents selected by the Subadviser.

The Adviser shall make available to or furnish the Subadviser with copies of the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, Declaration of Trust, Bylaws, Advisory Agreement, the Guidelines and any other limitations or guidelines instituted by the Adviser with regards to the Subadviser Assets, and any amendments thereto. Upon notification by the Adviser of such amendments, the Subadviser shall immediately commence action if necessary to bring the Subadviser Assets into compliance.

The Subadviser shall have authority to instruct the Fund’s custodian (the “Custodian”) to: (i) pay cash for securities and other property delivered to the Custodian for the Subadviser Assets, (ii) deliver or accept delivery of, upon receipt of payment or payment upon receipt of, securities, commodities or other property underlying any futures or options contracts, and other property purchased or sold in the Subadviser Assets, and (iii) deposit margin or collateral which shall include the transfer of money, securities or other property to the extent necessary to meet the obligations of the Subadviser Assets with respect to any investments made pursuant to the Prospectus.

Subject to Section 2D (Brokerage) below, the Subadviser is authorized with respect to the Subadviser Assets to enter into agreements and execute any documents (e.g., any derivatives documentation such as exchange traded and over-the-counter, as applicable) and take any other actions required to make investments pursuant to the Prospectus, which shall include any market and/or industry standard documentation and the standard representations contained therein.

B. Subadviser Undertakings. In all matters relating to the performance of this Agreement, the Subadviser shall act in conformity with (a) the Trust’s Prospectus, Agreement and Declaration of Trust, Bylaws, written policies and procedures of the Fund adopted by the Board, (b) the Guidelines, (c) any other written limitations instituted by the Adviser and agreed to by the Subadviser with regard to the Subadviser Assets, and (d) any written instructions and directions of the Board or the Adviser (so long as (x) such instructions and directions do not cause the Subadviser to violate applicable law or regulation and (y) the Subadviser is provided a reasonable period of time to comply with such instructions and directions). The Subadviser hereby agrees to:

(i)

regularly report to the Board and the Adviser (in such form and frequency as the Adviser and Subadviser mutually agree) with respect to the implementation of the Investment Program, compliance of the Subadviser Assets with the Prospectus, the Guidelines, the 1940 Act and the Code, and other topics as may reasonably be requested by the Board or the Adviser, including attending Board meetings, as reasonably requested, to present such reports to the Board;

(ii)

make themselves available, upon reasonable request by the Adviser, the Trust’s pricing agent and/or valuation committee, taking into account the time sensitive nature of the matter, to consult with the Adviser, the Trust’s pricing agent or valuation committee regarding the valuation of any of the Subadviser Assets for which the Adviser, the Trust’s pricing agent or valuation committee seeks assistance from the Subadviser or identifies for review by the Subadviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser acknowledges that (a) the Subadviser’s valuation policies may differ from the valuation policies of the Trust’s pricing agent and valuation committee and (b) therefore, the valuations made by the Fund with respect to the Subadviser Assets may differ from the valuations made by or on behalf of the Subadviser for other accounts that the Subadviser manages;

(iii)

in connection with any securities or other investments purchased, sold, retained or borrowed for the Subadviser Assets, arrange for the transmission to the Custodian on a daily basis such confirmation, trade tickets, and other documents and information, including, but not limited to, CUSIP, Sedol, or other numbers that identify the securities or other instruments to be purchased, sold, retained or borrowed on behalf of the Fund, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Custodian to perform its custodial, administrative, and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Fund.

(iv)

with respect to securities or other instruments of the Subadviser Assets to be settled through the Custodian, arrange for the transmission of the confirmation of such trades to the Custodian by the end of the day upon which such transaction occurs.

(v)

confirm all trades made on behalf of the Subadviser Assets with each executing broker and counterparty daily to facilitate accurate trade settlement and verify open positions (including cash). The Subadviser shall notify the Custodian, on behalf of the Fund, promptly (ideally within one business day) upon becoming aware of any trade which the Subadviser believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions.

reconciliation, including without limitation by arranging for reasonable access by the Fund or such designee to the files and websites of the executing brokers and counterparties to the extent such access is available;

(vi)

promptly review each holdings reconciliation report relating to the Subadviser Assets that it receives from the Custodian and accounting agent and/or the Adviser, as appropriate, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all open reconciliation items, including trade breaks, contained in such report promptly (ideally, within one business day) after the time as of which the Subadviser receives such report. Further, the Subadviser shall notify the Adviser and the Fund of any errors or discrepancies, including, without limitation, trade breaks, in the holdings reconciliation reports which have not been resolved promptly (ideally, within one business day) after the time as of which the Subadviser becomes aware of any such errors or discrepancies;

(vii)

use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and cause to be filed in a timely manner Form 13F and Schedules 13D or 13G, if required, with respect to securities held in the Subadviser Assets, without regard for any other assets held by the Trust or the Fund, unless specifically informed otherwise by the Adviser (it being understood that unless notified otherwise in writing, the Subadviser shall consider such securities as being subject to its investment discretion for purposes of Form 13F). The Subadviser agrees that it shall not acquire on behalf of the Fund any equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”) with the purpose or effect, at the time of such acquisition, of changing or influencing control of the issuer of the securities or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, including any transaction subject to Rule 13d-3(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act;

(viii)

provide such historical performance, fee and expense information about the accounts and investment funds the Subadviser manages that have investment objectives, policies, and strategies substantially similar to those employed by the Subadviser in managing the Subadviser Assets as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Trust, the Board or their agents to fulfill their duties under applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 15 of the 1940 Act, and to permit the Adviser to satisfy its oversight responsibilities or to satisfy any request by applicable federal or state regulatory authorities. Such information may be provided in the form of a composite of accounts or on an anonymous basis;

(ix)

provide reasonable assistance to the Adviser with respect to the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements, as related to the Subadviser Assets, including, but not limited to: (a) providing broker contacts as needed for obtaining trade confirmations; (b) providing copies of term loans and swap agreements, within a reasonable time upon request by the Adviser; (c) providing reasonable assistance in obtaining trade confirmations in the event the Fund or the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to obtain such confirmations directly from the brokers and (d) provide reasonable assistance in valuing investments that are not readily ascertainable in the event the Fund or the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to obtain such market quotations through independent means; and

(x)

upon request, provide timely input to and collaborate with the Adviser and the Fund (a) in determining appropriate liquidity classifications for the Subadviser Assets, for purposes of compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, in accordance with the parameters of the Fund’s liquidity program, (b) in providing data and information in connection with the preparation of the Fund’s shareholder reports (e.g. Form N-CSRs), census reporting forms (e.g. Form N-CEN) and portfolio holdings reporting forms (e.g. Form N-PORT) or the financial

reports contained therein, and (c) in providing such information to the Fund regarding derivatives as may be requested in connection with the Fund’s compliance with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act.

In selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of the Subadviser Assets, it shall be the policy of the Subadviser to seek to obtain best execution and the Subadviser agrees to act in conformance with its best execution policies and procedures. Subadviser shall provide updates of such best execution policies and procedures to the Adviser and the Fund upon the implementation of any material changes made thereto. In assessing best execution, the Subadviser will consider factors it deems relevant, which may include, without limitation, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction, and in evaluating best execution, the Subadviser is authorized to consider the brokerage and research services (within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) provided to the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Subadviser exercises investment discretion.

In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Subadviser hereby agrees that the Fund’s Records are the property of the Trust and further agrees to provide promptly to the Trust copies of any of such records upon the Fund’s or the Adviser’s request, provided, however, that Subadviser may retain copies of any such records. The Subadviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records relating to its activities hereunder required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and to preserve the records relating to its activities hereunder required by Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act for the period specified in said Rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subadviser has no responsibility for the maintenance of the records of the Fund, except for those related to the Subadviser Assets that are required to be maintained by the Subadviser under applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

G. Subadviser Compliance Responsibilities. The Subadviser and the Adviser acknowledge that the Subadviser is not the compliance agent for the Fund, and does not have access to all of the Trust’s books and records necessary to perform certain compliance testing. However, to the extent that the Subadviser has agreed to perform the services specified in this Agreement, the Subadviser shall perform (i) compliance monitoring designed to ensure compliance as set forth in Section 2A and (ii) periodic compliance testing with respect to the Subadviser Assets as it deems appropriate, based upon information in its possession or upon information and reasonable written instructions received from the Adviser or the Trust’s Administrator. The Adviser or the Administrator shall promptly provide the Subadviser with complete and accurate copies of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, current Prospectus, the Guidelines and any written policies or procedures adopted by the Board and currently in effect applicable to the Subadviser Assets, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Subadviser with any amendments or revisions thereto in advance of such adoptions, amendments or revisions taking effect. Subadviser shall supply such reports or other documentation as reasonably requested from time to time by the Adviser to evidence Subadviser’s compliance with such Prospectus, policies or procedures.

H. Proxy Voting. The Subadviser shall use its good faith judgment in a manner which it reasonably believes best serves the interests of the Fund’s shareholders to vote or abstain from voting all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of any voting securities in the Subadviser Assets. Subject to SEC guidance, the Subadviser may use recommendations from a third party in order to make voting decisions and may use a third party service provider to perform the voting (a “Third Party Proxy Voting Service Provider”). The Custodian shall cause to be forwarded to the Subadviser or Third Party Proxy Voting Service Provider all proxy solicitation materials that the Fund or its representatives may receive. The

Subadviser agrees that it has adopted written proxy voting procedures that comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The Subadviser further agrees that it will provide the Board as the Board may reasonably request, with a written report of the proxies voted during the most recent 12-month period or such other period as the Board may designate, in a format reasonably requested by the Board. Upon reasonable request, Subadviser shall provide the Adviser or the Administrator with all proxy voting records relating to the Subadviser Assets, including but not limited to those required by Form N-PX. The Subadviser will also provide an annual certification, in a form reasonably acceptable to Adviser, attesting to the accuracy and completeness of such proxy voting records. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subadviser has sole and full discretion to vote (or not to vote) any securities constituting the Subadviser Assets and the Adviser will not, directly or indirectly, attempt to influence the Subadviser’s voting decisions.

I. Use of Names. The Subadviser shall not use the name, logo, insignia, or other identifying mark of the Trust, the Fund or the Adviser or any of their affiliates or any derivative or logo or trade or service mark thereof, or disclose information related to the business of the Adviser or any of its affiliates in material relating to the Subadviser in any manner not approved in writing prior thereto by the Adviser; provided, however, that during the term of this Agreement, the Subadviser may use the Adviser’s or the Trust’s name and that of their affiliates which merely refer in accurate terms to the appointment of the Subadviser hereunder or which are required by the SEC, a state securities commission, law, regulation, court order or other similar request or demand or as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement. For so long as the Fund remains in existence and the Subadviser is providing the services set forth herein, the Adviser and the Fund shall have a royalty-free license to use the name of the Subadviser, including any short-form of such name, or any combination or derivation thereof, limited for the purpose of identifying the Subadviser as a subadviser to the Fund. The Subadviser acknowledges and agrees that the Adviser, the Fund and the Fund’s distributor will use such names in communications about the Fund to current and prospective investors in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, together with other general information regarding the Subadviser and its affiliates, including, without limitation, a general description of the investment program of the Subadviser with respect to the Subadviser Assets. The Adviser and the Fund shall cease to use the name of the Subadviser in any newly printed materials (except as may be reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or as required in connection with the Trust’s standard reporting) promptly upon termination of this Agreement. Other than materials which contain only the name or appointment of the Subadviser or language that is identical to previously-approved language from the current Fund Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, all sales and other marketing and communications materials referring to or containing information regarding the Subadviser shall be subject to the review and approval of the Subadviser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Subadviser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to review all such material promptly, but no later than ten days of their receipt thereof.

J. Other Subadvisers. With respect to any Fund, (i) without the prior written consent of the Adviser, the Subadviser will not consult with any other subadviser to that Fund (including, in the case of an offering of securities subject to Section 10(f) of the 1940 Act, any subadviser that is a principal underwriter or an affiliated person of a principal underwriter of such offering) concerning transactions for that Fund in securities or other assets, except, in the case of transactions involving securities of persons engaged in securities-related businesses, for purposes of complying with the conditions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Rule 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act; and (ii) the Subadviser is responsible only for providing advice and the other services set forth herein with respect to the Subadviser Assets. Pursuant to Rule 17a-10 of the 1940 Act, the Adviser agrees that it will include a provision substantially similar to this Section 2J in each other subadvisory agreement relating to the Fund.

K. Portfolio Holdings. The Subadviser will not disclose, in any manner whatsoever, any list of securities held by the Fund or a list of Subadviser Assets, other than (i) in accordance with the Fund’s portfolio holdings disclosure policy, (ii) to third party service providers that reasonably require such

information to perform services with respect to the Subadviser Assets so long as such third party service providers are subject to confidentiality restrictions and covenants, (iii) as otherwise directed in writing by the Adviser or (iv) as required by applicable law, regulation, court order or other similar request or demand (including in connection with Section 15 of the 1940 Act); provided that the Subadviser shall notify the Adviser of the disclosure. The foregoing shall not prohibit the Subadviser’s disclosure of portfolio securities and instruments held by any of its other client accounts or investment funds which pursue similar strategies to the Fund.

L. Business Continuity. The Subadviser has established and will keep in effect a “disaster recovery” preparedness plan that sets forth procedures for recovery of critical business functions at minimum operating levels and is designed so that it can be implemented within a 24-hour time period. The Subadviser shall notify the Adviser, as soon as practicable by telephone, electronic mail or such other method of prompt communication as may be available under the circumstances, of the occurrence of any event requiring the Subadviser to implement any procedures under such plan.

M. Cybersecurity. The Subadviser has established and will keep in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent cybersecurity breaches, including without limitation, malware, viruses, and other unauthorized access to information and information systems maintained by the Subadviser. The Subadviser shall notify the Adviser, as soon as practicable by telephone, electronic mail or such other method of prompt communication as may be available under the circumstances, of the occurrence or threat of any event that results in, or increases the risk of, any unauthorized access to or modification of, loss or misuse of, or impairment of the integrity or availability of, any such information or information systems maintained by the Subadviser.

N. Subadviser Rights to Performance Record. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the Subadviser shall retain a right to use the investment performance and track record of the Subadviser Assets (including in marketing) to the extent permitted by law, provided that the name of the Fund and the Trust is not specifically identified without the prior written approval of the Trust. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Subadviser shall be entitled to retain and use records of each of its transactions and other records pertaining to the Subadviser Assets and the Fund as are necessary to support any such uses of the investment performance and track record.

O. Subadviser Trade Errors and Breaches. The Subadviser shall notify the Adviser as promptly as reasonably practicable upon detection of any trade error or any breach of Guidelines or breach of other applicable limitations or requirements (a “Breach”) in connection with its management of the Subadviser Assets and in no event shall notice be delivered later than one business day after the time as of which the Subadviser becomes aware of any such trade error or Breach, and the Subadviser shall commence action to correct any trade error or Breach immediately upon detection of any trade error in connection with its management of the Subadviser Assets. In the event of a trade error or Breach, the Subadviser shall provide a memorandum to the Adviser describing the trade error or Breach and the action, if any, to be taken to prevent future occurrences of such trade error or Breach or, alternatively, a statement that the Subadviser has reviewed its existing controls, found them reasonably designed to prevent additional trade errors or Breaches in the future and has determined that no further action is required. Notwithstanding the Subadviser’s assessment of its internal controls or any other provision of this Agreement including Sections 4 and 5, all trade errors or Breaches impacting the Fund must be remediated by the Subadviser to the reasonable satisfaction of the Adviser, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include reimbursement from the Subadviser to the Fund of all costs, losses and expenses incurred due to the trade error or Breach, if any. In addition, the Subadviser shall provide the Adviser and the Trust, or their agents, with access to all documents and information within its possession or control related to any trade error or Breach, its analysis and correction.

3. Compensation of Subadviser. The Adviser will pay the Subadviser, with respect to each Fund on Appendix A attached hereto, the compensation specified in Appendix A. Further, the Subadviser agrees to the representations regarding the fee structure specified in Appendix A. In the case of termination of this Agreement with respect to the Fund during any calendar month, the fee with respect to the Subadviser Assets accrued to, but excluding, the date of termination (as of the open of business) shall be paid promptly following such termination.

4. Standard of Care. The Subadviser shall exercise its best judgment in rendering its services described in this Agreement. Except as may otherwise be required by the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder or other applicable law, or as otherwise provided in Section 2O above and Section 5 below, the Subadviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or the Adviser in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from Subadviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on its part in the performance of its duties hereunder, or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or from its material breach of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that any trade error that results in a gain to the Fund shall inure to the benefit of the Fund.

The services of the Subadviser to the Adviser with respect to the Subadviser Assets are not to be deemed to be exclusive, and the Subadviser and its affiliates shall be free to render any investment advisory or any other services to others whether similar or dissimilar in nature to the services hereunder (including other investment companies) and to engage in any other activities. It is understood

and agreed that the directors, officers, and employees of the Subadviser are not prohibited from engaging in any other business activity or from rendering services to any other person, or from serving as partners, officers, directors, trustees, or employees of any other firm or corporation, including other investment companies.

The Adviser acknowledges that the Subadviser now acts and from time to time hereafter may act as investment adviser or sub-investment adviser to one or more private funds, investment companies and fiduciary or other managed accounts (collectively, the “accounts”), and the Adviser has no objection to the Subadviser so acting. The Adviser acknowledges that while the Subadviser Assets and other accounts may invest in the same type of securities, the Subadviser may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to such other accounts which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Subadviser Assets; provided, however, that any such advice is consistent with the Subadviser’s fiduciary duties and obligations to the Subadviser Assets.

In addition, it is understood that the persons employed by the Subadviser to assist in the performance of the Subadviser’s duties hereunder will not devote their full time to such services and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the Subadviser’s right or the right of any of the Subadviser’s affiliates to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature.

The Subadviser shall, for all purposes hereof, be an independent contractor and, except as expressly provided hereunder, the Subadviser shall have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Adviser in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or the Adviser.

7. Maintenance of Insurance.

Subadviser shall upon reasonable request provide to the Adviser any information it may reasonably require concerning the amount of or scope of the insurance and shall promptly notify the Adviser if the issuer or the amount of the foregoing policies shall change.

8. Confidentiality. Each party to this Agreement shall keep confidential any nonpublic information concerning the other party and will not use or disclose such information for any purpose other than to a limited number of employees, attorneys, accountants, affiliates and other advisers (collectively, “Representatives”) for which such disclosure is necessary for the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder.

Neither party shall use the information provided by the other party to trade for their own account or, without the other party’s consent, for the account of any other person (other than the Fund). Nothing in this Section 8 will be deemed to prevent a party from disclosing information concerning the other party to the extent required to comply with any applicable law, regulation or regulatory filing or in response to a request from a duly constituted regulatory or judicial authority.
