(5) maintain all or part of the Fund’s uninvested assets in short-term income producing instruments for such periods of time as shall be deemed reasonable and prudent by the Sub-adviser, including any other internal money market or short-term bond fund available for use only by clients of the Adviser and certain of its affiliates; and
(6) generally, perform any other act necessary to enable the Sub-adviser to carry out its obligations under this Agreement or as agreed upon with the Adviser.
The Adviser agrees that Subadviser may delegate trading execution and related reporting functions to the trading desk of an affiliate (“Affiliated Trading Desk”).
B. Personnel, Office Space, and Facilities of Sub-adviser. The Sub-adviser at its own expense shall furnish or provide and pay the cost of such office space, office equipment, office personnel, and office services as the Sub-adviser requires in the performance of its investment advisory and other obligations under this Agreement.
C. Further Duties of Sub-adviser. In all matters relating to the performance of this Agreement, the Sub-adviser shall act in conformity with the applicable Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, and the Fund’s currently effective Registration Statement (as defined below) and with the written instructions and directions of the applicable Board and the Adviser, and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and Advisers Act and the rules thereunder, the SEC, the FCA, and all other applicable United States, state, United Kingdom, and other laws and regulations.
3. Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed by the Sub-adviser pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser may pay the Sub-adviser an investment management fee, if any, up to, but not more than 60% of the management fee paid to the Adviser under its Advisory Agreement with a Fund.
4. Duties of the Adviser.
A. The Adviser shall continue to have responsibility for all services to be provided to each Fund pursuant to the applicable Advisory Agreement other than those assumed by the Sub-adviser, and shall oversee and review the Sub-adviser’s performance of its duties under this Agreement.
B. Upon request from the Sub-adviser, the Adviser will furnish the Sub-adviser with copies of each of the following documents with respect to each Corporation and Fund and any future
3
amendments and supplements to such documents, if any, as soon as practicable after such request and such documents become available:
(1) The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time and as filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time (“Articles”);
(2) The By-Laws of the Corporation as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time (“By-Laws”);
(3) Certified resolutions of the Corporation’s Board authorizing the appointment of the Adviser and the Sub-adviser and approving the form of the Advisory Agreement and this Agreement;

The Adviser shall furnish the Sub-adviser with any further documents, materials or information that the Sub-adviser may reasonably request to enable it to perform its duties pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Brokerage.
A. The Sub-adviser agrees that, in placing orders with broker-dealers for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, it shall attempt (or instruct the Affiliated Trading Desk to do so, as applicable) to obtain best execution at competitive commission rates; provided that, on behalf of each Fund, the Sub-adviser or the Affiliated Trading Desk, as applicable, may, in its discretion and consistent with its fiduciary duty, agree to pay a broker-dealer that furnishes brokerage, execution or research services as such services are defined under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), a higher commission than that which might have been charged by another broker-dealer for effecting the same transactions, if the Sub-adviser or the Affiliated Trading Desk, as applicable, determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the brokerage, execution and research services provided by the broker-dealer, viewed
4
in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Sub-adviser with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion (as such term is defined under Section 3(a)(35) of the 1934 Act). In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Sub-adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. It is understood by the parties hereto that best execution is evaluated based on various factors, including but not limited to, commission costs.
B. On occasions when the Sub-adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as other clients of the Sub-adviser, the Sub-adviser or the Affiliated Trading Desk, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to obtain a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-adviser or the Affiliated Trading Desk, as applicable, in the manner the Sub-adviser or the Affiliated Trading Desk, as applicable, considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to its other clients.
6. Ownership of Records. The Sub-adviser shall maintain all books and records required to be maintained by the Sub-adviser pursuant to the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to transactions on behalf of a Fund. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-adviser hereby agrees (i) that all records that it maintains for a Fund are the property of the applicable Fund, (ii) to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records that it maintains for the applicable Fund and that are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act, and (iii) agrees to surrender promptly to the applicable Fund any records that it maintains for the Fund upon request by the Fund; provided, however, the Sub-adviser may retain copies of such records.
7. Reports. The Sub-adviser shall furnish to each Board or the Adviser, or both, as appropriate, such information, reports, evaluations, analyses and opinions as the Sub-adviser and the Board or the Adviser, as appropriate, may mutually agree upon from time to time.
8. Services to Others Clients. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict (i) the freedom of the Sub-adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, to render investment management and corporate administrative services to other investment companies, to act as investment manager or investment counselor to other persons, firms, or corporations, or to engage in any other business activities, or (ii) the right of any director, officer, or employee of the Sub-adviser, who may also be a director, officer, or employee of the Fund, 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 other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature.

9. Sub-adviser’s Use of the Services of Others. The Sub-adviser may (at its cost except as contemplated by Paragraph 5 of this Agreement) employ, retain, or otherwise avail itself of the services or facilities of other persons or organizations, including affiliates of the Sub-adviser, for the purpose of providing the Sub-adviser or the Adviser or the applicable Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, with such statistical and other factual information, such advice regarding economic factors and trends, such advice as to occasional transactions in specific securities, or such other information, advice, or assistance as the Sub-adviser may deem necessary, appropriate, or convenient for the discharge of its obligations hereunder or otherwise helpful to the Adviser or the Corporation or the Fund, as appropriate, or in the discharge of its overall responsibilities with respect to the other accounts that it serves as investment manager or counselor.
10. Limitation of Liability of the Sub-adviser. Neither the Sub-adviser nor any of its officers, directors, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the applicable Fund (at the direction or request of the Sub-adviser) or the Sub-adviser in connection with the Sub-adviser’s discharge of its obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to this Agreement, shall be liable for (i) any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or (ii) any error of fact or mistake of law contained in any report or data provided by the Sub-adviser, except for any error, mistake or loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its or his duties on behalf of the Fund or from reckless disregard by the Sub-adviser or any such person of the duties of the Sub-adviser pursuant to this Agreement.

A.

C. Upon request, the Sub-adviser will provide the Adviser and each Fund with a copy of its Form ADV as most recently filed with the SEC and any amendments thereto.
12. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective for a Fund upon the date set forth on Schedule 1, provided that this Agreement shall not take effect unless it has first been approved (i) by a vote of a majority of those directors of the applicable Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the applicable Fund’s outstanding voting securities. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a Fund through April 30 of the following year. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year, with respect to the applicable Fund, subject to the termination provisions and all other terms and conditions hereof, so long as such continuation shall be specifically approved at least annually (a) by either the Board, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund; (b) in either event, by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority of the directors of the applicable Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party; and (c) the Sub-adviser shall not have notified the Adviser and the Fund, in writing, at least 60 days prior to such approval that it does not desire such continuation.

This Agreement may also be terminated by the Adviser: (i) on at least 120 days’ prior written notice to the Sub-adviser, without the payment of any penalty; (ii) upon material breach by the Sub-adviser of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, if such breach shall not have been cured within a 20-day period after notice of such breach; or (iii) if the Sub-adviser becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Sub-adviser may terminate this Agreement with respect to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on at least 60 days’ prior notice to the Adviser and the Fund.

15. Miscellaneous.

E. Interpretation.

F. Counterparts; Electronically Transmitted Documents and Signatures.
