NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the promises, and mutual
covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the parties as follows:
1. Appointment. The Trust hereby appoints the Adviser to provide investment
-----------
advisory services to the Trust with respect to the Funds for the period and
on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Adviser accepts such
appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth for the
compensation herein provided.
In the event the Trust establishes and designates additional series with
respect to which it desires to retain the Adviser to render investment
advisory services hereunder, it shall notify the Adviser in writing. If the
Adviser is willing to render such services it shall notify the Trust in
writing, whereupon such additional series shall become a Fund hereunder.
2. Duties. Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees, the
------
Adviser shall provide general, overall advice and guidance with respect to
the Funds and provide advice and guidance to the Trust's Trustees. In
discharging these duties the Adviser shall, either directly or indirectly
through others ("Portfolio Managers") engaged by it pursuant to Section 3
of this Agreement, provide a continuous investment program for each Fund
and determine the composition of the assets of each Fund, including
determination of the purchase, retention, or sale of the securities, cash,
and other investments for the Fund. The Adviser (or Portfolio Manager) will
provide investment research and analysis, which may consist of a
computerized investment methodology, and will conduct a continuous program
of evaluation, investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Fund assets by
determining the securities and other investments that shall be purchased,
entered into, sold, closed, or exchanged for the Fund, when these
transactions should be executed, and what portion of the assets of the Fund
should be held in the various securities and other investments in which it
may invest, and the Adviser (or Portfolio Manager) is hereby authorized to
execute and perform such services on behalf of the Fund. To the extent
permitted by the investment policies of the Fund, the Adviser (or Portfolio
Manager) shall make decisions for the Fund as to foreign currency matters
and make determinations as to the retention or disposition of foreign
currencies or securities or other instruments denominated in foreign
currencies or derivative instruments based upon foreign currencies,
including forward foreign currency contracts and options and futures on
foreign currencies, and shall execute and perform the same. The Adviser (or
Portfolio Manager) will provide the services under this Agreement for each
Fund in accordance with the Fund's investment objective or objectives,
investment policies, and investment restrictions as stated in the Trust's
Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A with the SEC as supplemented or
amended from time to time.
-2-
In performing these duties, the Adviser, either directly or indirectly through
others selected by the Adviser:
a. Shall conform with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations thereunder,
all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, with any
applicable procedures adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees, and with
the provisions of the Trust's Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A as
supplemented or amended from time to time.
b. Shall use reasonable efforts to manage each Fund so that it qualifies as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code.
c. Is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under this Section
2, for decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for the
Funds, for broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM") selection,
and for negotiation of commission rates. The Adviser's (or Portfolio
Manager's) primary consideration in effecting a security or other
transaction will be to obtain the best execution for the Fund, taking into
account the factors specified in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for the Trust, as they may be amended or supplemented from time
to time. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine
and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Adviser (or Portfolio Manager) shall not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or
otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or
dealer, acting as agent, for effecting a portfolio transaction at a price
in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser (or Portfolio
Manager) determines in good faith that such amount of commission was
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that
particular transaction or the Adviser's (or Portfolio Manager's) overall
responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to their other clients as to
which they exercise investment discretion. To the extent consistent with
these standards, and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-(T) thereunder, and subject to any other
applicable laws and regulations, the Adviser (or Portfolio Manager) is
further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of the
Fund to the Adviser (or Portfolio Manager) if it is registered as a broker
or dealer with the SEC, to its affiliate that is registered as a broker or
dealer with the SEC, or to such brokers and dealers that also provide
research or statistical research and material, or other services to the
Fund or the Adviser (or Portfolio Manager). Such allocation shall be in
such
-3-
amounts and proportions as the Adviser shall determine consistent with
the above standards, and, upon request, the Adviser will report on
said allocation regularly to the Board of Trustees of the Trust
indicating the broker-dealers to which such allocations have been made
and the basis therefor.
d. May, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is deemed to
be in the best interest of a Fund as well as any other investment
advisory clients, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities
to be so sold or purchased with those of its other clients where such
aggregation is not inconsistent with the policies set forth in the
Registration Statement. 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 Adviser (or Portfolio Manager) in a
manner that is fair and equitable in the judgment of the Adviser (or
Portfolio Manager) in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the
Trust and to such other clients.
e. Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for each
Fund, arrange for the transmission to the custodian for the Trust 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 securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of
the Fund, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian to
perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with
respect to the Fund, and, with respect to portfolio securities to be
purchased or sold through the Depository Trust Company, will arrange
for the automatic transmission of the confirmation of such trades to
the Trust's custodian.
f. Will make available to the Trust, promptly upon request, any of the
Funds' investment records and ledgers as are necessary to assist the
Trust to comply with requirements of the 1940 Act and the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as well as other applicable laws, and will
furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite authority any
information or reports in connection with such services which may be
requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the Trust
are being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
g. Will regularly report to the Trust's Board of Trustees on the
investment program for each Fund and the issuers and securities
represented in each Fund's portfolio, and will furnish the Trust's
Board of Trustees with respect to the Funds such periodic and special
reports as the Trustees may reasonably request.
3. Appointment of Portfolio Managers. The Adviser may, at its expense and
---------------------------------
subject to its supervision, engage one or more persons, including, but not
limited to, subsidiaries and
-4-

Agreement including, for one or more of the Funds and, to the extent
required by applicable law, subject to the approval of the Trust's Board of

investment program and the determination of the composition of the
securities and other assets of such Fund or Funds.
