2.	PROVISION OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY SERVICES.

Within the framework of the fundamental policies, investment objectives, and investment restrictions of the Fund, and subject to the supervision and review of the Advisor and the Board of Trustees, the Sub-Advisor shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the making of all investment decisions for the Portfolio, including purchase, retention and disposition of securities, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus.

As of the date of this Agreement approximately [ ]% of the Fund’s investable assets will be allocated to the Portfolio, and on each business day during the term of this Agreement the same percentage of the net cash derived from purchases, or required for redemptions, of Fund shares will normally be added to or withdrawn from the Portfolio; provided, however, that the Advisor has the right at any time to reallocate the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to the Portfolio pursuant to this Agreement if the Advisor deems such reallocation appropriate.

For the purpose of complying with Rule 10f-3(a)(6)(ii), Rule 12d3-1(c)(3)(ii), Rule 17a-10(a)(2) and Rule 17e-1(d)(2) under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Advisor hereby agrees that: (i) with respect to transactions in securities or other assets for the Fund, it will not consult with any other sub-adviser to the Fund, or with any sub-adviser that is principal underwriter for the Fund or an affiliated person of such principal underwriter; (ii) with respect to transactions in securities or other assets for an Ascentia Fund (as defined below), it will not consult with any sub-adviser to a separate series of the Trust for which the Advisor serves as investment adviser (an “Ascentia Fund”), or with any sub-adviser to an Ascentia Fund that is a principal underwriter to an Ascentia Fund or an affiliated person of such principal underwriter; and (iii) its responsibility in providing investment advisory services to the Fund shall be limited solely to that portion of the Fund’s portfolio designated by the Advisor.

The Sub-Advisor will, at its own expense:

(a)

consult with the Advisor from time to time in connection with investment policy decisions to be made by it regarding the portion of the Fund managed by Sub-Advisor and upon request, furnish the Advisor with research, economic and statistical data in connection with the Fund’s investments made by the Sub-Advisor;

(b)

submit such reports and information as the Advisor or the Fund may reasonably request to assist the Fund’s custodian (the “Custodian”), administrator or fund accounting agent, in its or their determination of the market value of securities held in the Fund;

(c)

place orders for purchases and sales of portfolio investments for the Fund;

(d)

give instructions to the Custodian concerning the delivery of securities and transfer of cash for the Fund;

(e)

maintain and preserve the records relating to its activities hereunder required by applicable law to be maintained and preserved by the Advisor, to the extent not maintained by the Advisor or another agent of the Fund, and the Sub-Advisor hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund copies of any such records upon the Fund’s request;

(f)

as soon as practicable after the close of business each day but no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time the following business day, provide the Custodian with copies of trade tickets for each transaction effected for the Fund, provide copies to the Advisor upon request, and promptly forward to the Custodian copies of all brokerage or dealer confirmations;

(g)

as soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month, provide the Advisor with written statements showing all transactions effected for the Fund during the month, a summary listing all investments held in the Fund as of the last day of the month, and such other information as the Advisor may reasonably request in connection with any accounting services that the Advisor or its agents provide for the Fund. Advisor acknowledges that Sub-Advisor and Custodian or the Fund’s accounting agent may use different pricing vendors, which may result in valuation discrepancies;

(h)

absent specific instructions to the contrary provided to it by the Advisor, and subject to its receipt of all necessary voting materials, vote all proxies with respect to investments of the Fund in accordance with the Sub-Advisor’s proxy voting policy as most recently provided to the Advisor. The Sub-Advisor may use the services of a proxy voting agent to vote proxies on behalf of the Fund. The Sub-Advisor 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 securities in the Portfolio. The Sub-Advisor’s obligations in the previous sentence are contingent upon its timely receipt of such proxy solicitation materials, which the Advisor shall cause to be forwarded to the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor further agrees that it will provide the Board of Trustees, 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 that shall comply with the 1940 Act. Upon reasonable request, the Sub-Advisor shall provide the Advisor with all proxy voting records relating to the Portfolio, including but not limited to those required by Form N-PX. Upon request of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor will also provide an annual certification, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Advisor, attesting to the accuracy and completeness of such proxy voting records. The Sub-Advisor will provide reasonable cooperation to the Advisor with respect to any legal proceedings or bankruptcies involving the issuers of securities held by the Fund, but the Sub-Advisor shall not be responsible for rendering advice in connection therewith;

(i)

inform the Advisor and the Board of Trustees of material changes in investment strategy or tactics or in key personnel;

(j)

furnish to the Board of Trustees such information as may reasonably be necessary in order for such Trustees to evaluate this Agreement or any proposed amendments hereto for the purpose of casting a vote pursuant to Section 7 hereof;

notify the Advisor of any material changes in its ownership within a reasonable time prior to such changes;

(l)

provide reasonable assistance to the Trust in connection with the Trust’s compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act. Such assistance shall include, but not be limited to, (i) certifying periodically, upon the reasonable request of the Trust, that it is in compliance with all applicable “federal securities laws,” as required by Rule 38a-1(e)(1) under the 1940 Act, and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act; (ii) facilitating and cooperating with third-party audits arranged by the Trust to evaluate the effectiveness of it compliance controls; and (iii) providing the Trust’s chief compliance officer with direct access to its compliance personnel; (iv) providing the Trust’s chief compliance officer with periodic reports; and (v) promptly providing special reports to the Trust’s chief compliance officer in the event of compliance problems, and

(m)

promptly notify the Advisor and the Trust’s chief compliance officer of any audit, examination or non-routine request for information by any state or federal regulatory authority and provide to the Advisor copies of any reports, letters or enforcement or other actions of such regulatory authorities arising in connection therewith.

3.	ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES.

Each party to this Agreement shall bear the costs and expenses of performing its obligations hereunder. In this regard, the Advisor specifically agrees that the Fund shall assume the expense of:

(a)

brokerage commissions for transactions in the portfolio investments of the Fund and similar fees and charges for the acquisition, disposition, lending or borrowing of such portfolio investments;

(b)

custodian fees and expenses;

(c)

all taxes, including issuance and transfer taxes, and reserves for taxes payable by the Fund to federal, state or other government agencies; and

(d)

interest payable on any Fund borrowings.

The Sub-Advisor specifically agrees that with respect to the operation of the Fund, the Sub-Advisor shall be responsible for providing the personnel, office space and equipment reasonably necessary for its management services provided to the Fund. In order to minimize the need and expense on Advisor of convening a special Board of Trustees meeting, Sub-Advisor agrees that, to the extent reasonably practical, Sub-Advisor will provide Advisor sufficient notice of any changes to the Sub-Advisor, so that such issues may be considered by the Board of Trustees during its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings. Nothing in this Agreement shall alter the allocation of expenses and costs agreed upon between the Fund and the Advisor in the Investment Advisory Agreement or any other agreement to which they are parties.

4.	SUB-ADVISORY FEES.

For all of the services rendered with respect to the Fund as herein provided, the Advisor shall pay to the Sub-Advisor a fee (for the payment of which the Fund shall have no obligation or liability), based on the Current Net Assets of the Portfolio (as defined below), as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Such fee shall be accrued daily and payable quarterly, as soon as practicable after the last day of each calendar quarter. In the case of termination of this Agreement with respect to the Fund during any calendar month, the fee with respect to such Portfolio accrued to, but excluding, the date of termination shall be paid promptly following such termination. For purposes of computing the amount of advisory fee accrued for any day, “Current Net Assets” shall mean the Portfolio’s net assets as of the most recent preceding day for which the Fund’s net assets were computed.

5.	PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.

In connection with the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolio, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute purchase and sale transactions for the Portfolio and to use all reasonable efforts to obtain the best available price and most favorable execution with respect to all such purchases and sales of portfolio securities for said Portfolio. The Sub-Advisor shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this section. Subject to the policies as the Board of Trustees may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sub-Advisor shall have the right to follow a policy of selecting brokers who furnish brokerage and research services to the Fund or to the Sub-Advisor, and who charge a higher commission rate to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage solely on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and execution. The Sub-Advisor shall determine in good faith that such higher cost was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided and shall make reasonable reports regarding such determination and description of the products and services obtained if so requested by the Fund.

The Advisor authorizes and empowers the Sub-Advisor to direct the Custodian to open and maintain brokerage accounts for securities and other property, including financial and commodity futures and commodities and options thereon (all such accounts hereinafter called “brokerage accounts”) for and in the name of the Fund and to execute for the Fund as its agent and attorney-in-fact standard customer agreements with such broker or brokers as the Sub-Advisor shall select as provided above. The Sub-Advisor may, using such of the securities and other property in the Fund as the Sub-Advisor deems necessary or desirable, direct the Custodian to deposit for the Fund original and maintenance brokerage and margin deposits and otherwise direct payments of cash, cash equivalents and securities and other property into such brokerage accounts and to such brokers as the Sub-Advisor deems desirable or appropriate. The Sub-Advisor shall cause all securities and other property purchased or sold for the Fund to be settled at the place of business of the Custodian or as the Custodian shall direct. All securities and other property of the Fund shall remain in the direct or indirect custody of the Custodian. The Sub-Advisor shall notify the Custodian as soon as practicable of the necessary information to enable the Custodian to effect such purchases and sales.

The Sub-Advisor further shall have the authority to instruct the Custodian (i) to pay cash for securities and other property delivered to the Custodian for the Fund, (ii) to deliver securities and other property against payment for the Fund, and (iii) to transfer assets and funds to such brokerage accounts as the Sub-Advisor may designate, all consistent with the powers, authorities and limitations set forth herein. The Sub-Advisor shall not have authority to cause the Custodian to deliver securities and other property, or pay cash to the Sub-Advisor except as expressly provided herein.

6.	LIABILITY; STANDARD OF CARE.

The Sub-Advisor, its affiliates, agents and employees, shall be indemnified by the Advisor against all liabilities, losses or claims (including reasonable expenses arising out of defending such liabilities, losses or claims):

(a)

arising from the Fund’s or the Advisor’s directions to the Sub-Advisor or Custodian, or brokers, dealers or others with respect to the making, retention or sale of any investment or reinvestment hereunder; or

(b)

arising from the acts or omissions of the Advisor, the Custodian or the Fund, their respective affiliates, agents or employees;

except for any such liability or loss which is due to the negligence, willful misconduct, or lack of good faith of the Sub-Advisor, its affiliates, agents and employees, or the Sub-Advisor’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations. The Sub-Advisor shall also be without liability hereunder for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and without negligence.

The Sub-Advisor shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the discharge of its duties under this Agreement; shall comply with the investment policies, guidelines and restrictions of the Fund; shall act at all times in the best interests of the Fund; and shall discharge its duties with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of a similar enterprise.

The Sub-Advisor shall not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement to have made any representation or warranty that any level of investment performance or level of investment results will be achieved.

7.	TERM AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT; NO ASSIGNMENT

(a) This Agreement shall go into effect as to the Fund at the time the Fund commences operations pursuant to an effective amendment to the Trust’s Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall remain in effect for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall continue in effect thereafter for additional periods not exceeding one (l) year so long as such continuation is approved for the Fund at least annually by (i) the Board of Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement nor interested persons thereof, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities” and “interested persons” shall have the meanings as set forth in the 1940 Act;

(b) This Agreement may be terminated by the Trust on behalf of the Fund at any time without payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, by the Advisor, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund without the payment of any penalties, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Sub-Advisor, and by the Sub-Advisor upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Fund and the Advisor.

(c) This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of any transfer or assignment thereof, as defined in the 1940 Act; and

(d) This Agreement will also terminate in the event that the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated.

8.	SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE.

The services of the Sub-Advisor to the Fund are not to be deemed exclusive and it shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby. It is specifically understood that directors, officers and employees of the Sub-Advisor and of its subsidiaries and affiliates may continue to engage in providing portfolio management services and advice to other investment advisory clients.

9.	AGGREGATION OF ORDERS.

Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the combination of orders for the sale or purchase of securities of the Portfolio with those for other accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates. When a security proposed to be purchased or sold for the Portfolio is also to be purchased or sold for other accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor at the same time, the Sub-Advisor may aggregate such orders and shall allocate such purchases or sales on a pro-rata, rotating or other equitable basis so as to avoid any one account being systematically preferred over any other account.

10.	NO BORROWING.

The Sub-Advisor agrees that neither it nor any of its officers or employees shall borrow from the Fund or pledge or use the Fund's assets in connection with any borrowing not directly for the Fund's benefit. For this purpose, failure to pay any amount due and payable to the Fund that has been billed to the Sub-Advisor by the Fund for a period of more than thirty (30) days shall constitute a borrowing.

11.	AMENDMENT.

No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by all parties.

12.	NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Sub-Advisor hereto agrees on behalf of itself and its directors, trustees, shareholders, officers, and employees (1) to treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Fund (a) all records and other information relative to the Fund’s prior, present, or potential shareholders (and clients of said shareholders) and (b) any Nonpublic Personal Information, as defined under Section 248.3(t) of Regulation S-P (“Regulation S-P”), promulgated under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “G-L-B Act”), and (2) except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Trust, not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, or as otherwise permitted by Regulation S-P or the G-L-B Act, and if in compliance therewith, the privacy policies adopted by the Trust and communicated in writing to the Sub-Advisor. Such written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Trust and may not be withheld where the Sub-Advisor may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt or other proceedings for failure to comply after being requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities. Notwithstanding the above, the Sub-Advisor may disclose information regarding the Fund to governmental and/or regulatory or self-regulatory authorities to the extent required by applicable law or regulation and may file reports with such authorities as may be required by applicable law or regulation without notification to the Fund.

13.	ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE.

The Sub-Advisor acknowledges that, in compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, the USA PATRIOT Act, and any implementing regulations thereunder (together, “AML Laws”), the Trust has adopted an Anti-Money Laundering Policy. The Sub-Advisor agrees to comply with the Trust’s Anti-Money Laundering Policy and the AML Laws, as the same may apply to the Sub-Advisor, now and in the future. The Sub-Advisor further agrees to provide to the Trust and/or the Fund’s administrator such reports, certifications and contractual assurances as may be reasonably requested by the Trust.
