If the Subadvisor is willing to render such services on the terms provided for herein, it shall so notify the Adviser in writing, whereupon such series shall become a Fund hereunder.

DUTIES OF ADVISER AND SUBADVISOR.

(a) The Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as filed with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all amendments and supplements thereto (such Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as presently in effect and as it shall from time to time be amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Declaration”);

(d) The Trust’s Registration Statement and each Post-Effective Amendment thereto on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “1933 Act”) and the 1940 Act (File Nos. 333-84639 and 811-09521) with respect to the Fund as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and all amendments thereto (the “Registration Statement”);

(e) The most recent prospectus (such prospectus, as in effect from time to time and all amendments and supplements thereto are herein called a “Prospectus”) of the Fund;

(f) All resolutions of the Board of Trustees of the Trust pertaining to the objectives, investment policies and investment restrictions of the Fund; and

(g) Copies of the executed Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser relating to the Fund.

The Adviser will furnish the Subadvisor from time to time with copies of all amendments of or supplements to items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) to the extent such amendments or supplements relate to or affect the obligations of the Subadvisor hereunder with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund or any other series of the Trust that hereafter becomes a Fund hereunder.

(ii) The Subadvisor, at its own expense, shall furnish the following services to the Trust with respect to each Fund:

(a) Investment Program. The Subadvisor is hereby authorized and directed and hereby agrees, subject to the stated investment objective and policies of the Fund as set forth in the Trust’s current Registration Statement and subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, to (i) develop and furnish continuously an investment program and strategy for the Fund in compliance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as set forth in the Trust’s current Registration Statement, (ii) provide research and analysis relative to the investment program and investments of the Fund, (iii) determine (subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust) what investments shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Fund shall be held in cash or cash equivalents, and (iv) make changes on behalf of the Trust in the investments of the Fund. In accordance with paragraph 2(ii)(b), the Subadvisor shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investments for the Fund’s account and will exercise full discretion and act for the Trust in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Trust might or could do with respect to such purchases, sales or other transactions, as well as with respect to all other things necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such purchases, sales or transactions. The Subadvisor will make its officers and employees available to meet with the Adviser’s officers and directors on due notice at reasonable times to review the investments and investment program of the Fund in the light of current and prospective economic and market conditions.

The Subadvisor shall exercise voting authority with respect to proxies that the Fund is entitled to vote by virtue of the ownership of assets attributable to that portion of the Fund for which the Subadvisor has

investment management responsibility; provided that the exercise of such authority shall be subject to periodic review by the Adviser and the Trustees of the Trust; provided, further that such authority may be revoked in whole or in part by the Adviser if required by applicable law. The Subadvisor shall exercise its proxy voting authority hereunder in accordance with such proxy voting policies and procedures as the Trust may designate from time to time. The Subadvisor shall provide such information relating to its exercise of proxy voting authority hereunder (including the manner in which it has voted proxies and its resolution of conflicts of interest) as reasonably requested by the Adviser from time to time.

In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Subadvisor is and shall be an independent contractor and except as expressly provided for herein or otherwise expressly provided or authorized shall have no authority to act for or represent any Fund or the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of any Fund, the Trust or of the Adviser. If any occasion should arise in which the Subadvisor gives any advice to its clients concerning the shares of a Fund, the Subadvisor will act solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of the Trust or any Fund.

(b) Portfolio Transactions. In connection with the management of the investment and reinvestment of the Fund, the Subadvisor, acting by its own officers, directors or employees or by a duly authorized subcontractor, is authorized to select the broker or dealers that will execute purchase and sale transactions for the Trust.

In executing portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, if any, the Subadvisor will use its best efforts to seek on behalf of the Fund the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the Subadvisor shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in and the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, with respect to the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In evaluating the best overall terms available, and in selecting the broker or dealer, if any, to execute a particular transaction, the Subadvisor may also consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Subadvisor with respect to the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Subadvisor exercises investment discretion. The Subadvisor may pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if, but only if, the Subadvisor determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.

The Subadvisor may buy securities for a Fund at the same time it is selling such securities for another client account and may sell securities for a Fund at the time it is buying such securities for another client account. In such cases, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and in compliance with such procedures of the Trust as may be in effect from time to time, the Subadvisor may effectuate cross transactions between a Fund and such other account if it deems this to be advantageous. The Subadvisor also may cause a Fund to enter into other types of investment transactions (e.g., a long position on a particular securities index) at the same time it is causing other client accounts to take opposite economic positions (e.g., a short position on the same index).

On occasions when the Subadvisor deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as other clients, the Subadvisor, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, and in compliance with such procedures of the Trust as may be in effect from time to time, may aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. 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 Subadvisor in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the subject Fund and to such clients.

The Subadvisor will advise a Fund’s custodian or such depository or agents as may be designated by the custodian and the Adviser promptly of each purchase and sale of a portfolio security, specifying the name of the issuer, the description and amount or number of shares of the security purchased, the market price, the commission and gross or net price, the trade date and settlement date and the identity of the effecting broker or dealer. The Subadvisor shall not have possession or custody of any Fund investments. The Trust shall be responsible for all custodial agreements and the payment of all custodial charges and fees and, upon the Subadvisor giving proper instructions to the custodian, the Subadvisor shall have no responsibility or liability for the acts, omissions or other conduct of the custodian.

The Subadvisor shall, upon due notice from the Adviser, provide such periodic and special reports describing any such research, advice or other services received and the incremental commissions, net price or other consideration to which they relate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subadvisor agrees that the Adviser shall have the right by written notice to identify securities that may not be purchased on behalf of any Fund and/or brokers and dealers through which portfolio transaction on behalf of the Funds may not be effected, including, without limitation, brokers or dealers affiliated with the Adviser. The Subadvisor shall refrain from purchasing such securities for a Fund or directing any portfolio transaction to any such broker or dealer on behalf of the Fund, unless and until the written approval of the Adviser to do so is obtained, but the Subadvisor shall not be liable to the Fund for so acting. In addition, the Subadvisor agrees that it shall not direct portfolio transactions for a Fund through any broker or dealer that is an “affiliated person” of the Subadvisor (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act or interpreted under applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) without the prior written approval of the Adviser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Adviser agrees that it will provide the Subadvisor with a list of brokers and dealers that are “affiliated persons” of the Funds.

(c) Reports. The Subadvisor shall render to the Board of Trustees of the Trust such periodic and special reports as the Board of Trustees may request with respect to matters relating to the duties of the Subadvisor set forth herein.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Subadvisor shall have the right to engage a third-party for purposes of providing proxy advisory and/or voting services.

SUBADVISORY FEE.

For the services to be provided by the Subadvisor as provided in Paragraph 2 hereof, the Adviser shall pay to the Subadvisor an annual fee as set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement.

In the case of commencement or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Fund during any calendar month, the fee with respect to such Fund for that month shall be reduced proportionately based upon the number of calendar days during which it is in effect, and the fee shall be computed during the average daily net assets of such Fund for the days during which it is in effect.

EXPENSES.

During the term of this Agreement, the Subadvisor will bear all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, other than those expenses specifically assumed by the Trust hereunder. Subject to any expense limitation agreement as in effect from time to time with respect to the Fund, the Trust shall assume and shall pay (i) issue and transfer taxes chargeable to the Trust in connection with securities transactions to which any Fund is a party, and (ii) interest on borrowed money, if any. In addition to these expenses, the Trust shall pay all brokers’ and underwriting commissions chargeable to the Trust in connection with the securities transactions to which any Fund is a party.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS.

In performing its duties hereunder, the Subadvisor

(i) shall establish compliance procedures (copies of which shall be provided to the Adviser, and shall be subject to review and approval by the Adviser) reasonably calculated to ensure compliance at all times with: all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, and any rules and regulations adopted thereunder; Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; the provisions of the Registration Statement; the provisions of the Declaration and the By-Laws of the Trust, as the same may be amended from time to time; and any other applicable provisions of state, federal or foreign law.

(ii) acknowledges that the Trust has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and that the Subadvisor and certain of its employees, officers and directors may be subject to reporting requirements thereunder and, accordingly, agrees that it shall, on a timely basis, furnish, and shall cause its employees, officers and directors to furnish, to the Adviser and/or to the Trust, all reports and information required to be provided under such code of ethics with respect to such persons.

(iii) agrees that it will maintain for the Trust all and only such records as required under Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 under the 1940 Act in respect to its services hereunder and that such records are the property of the Trust and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any such records upon the Trust’s request all in accordance with Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act.

SCHEDULE A

AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund

The Adviser shall pay to the Subadvisor an annual gross investment Subadvisory fee equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Small Cap Growth Fund. Such fee shall be accrued daily and paid as soon as practical after the last day of each calendar month.

The Subadvisor may voluntarily waive all or a portion of the Subadvisory fee payable from time to time hereunder. The Adviser agrees that, during any period in which the Subadvisor has voluntarily waived all or a portion of the Subadvisory fee hereunder, if requested by the Subadvisor, the Adviser will waive an equal amount (or such lesser amount as the Subadvisor may request) of the advisory fee payable by the Trust to the Adviser with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund under the Advisory Agreement.

The Subadvisor agrees that, during any period in which the Adviser has waived all or a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Trust to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund, if requested by the Adviser, the Subadvisor will waive a pro rata share (or such lesser share as the Adviser may request) of the Subadvisory fee payable hereunder with respect to the Fund, such that the amount waived by the Subadvisor shall bear the same ratio to the total amount of the subadvisory fees payable hereunder with respect to the Fund as the amount waived by the Adviser bears to all fees payable to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund.

The Adviser agrees that, in addition to any amounts otherwise payable to the Subadvisor with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund hereunder, the Adviser shall pay the Subadvisor all amounts previously waived by the Subadvisor to the extent that such amounts are subsequently paid by the Trust to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, it being further agreed that, with respect to any such amounts subsequently paid by the Trust to the Adviser, the amount to be paid by the Adviser to the Subadvisor shall bear the same ratio to the total amount paid by the Trust as the total amount previously waived by the Subadvisor bears to the total amount of the fees previously waived by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund.

The Subadvisor agrees that, during any period in which the Adviser has agreed to pay or reimburse the Trust for expenses of the Small Cap Growth Fund, if requested by the Adviser, the Subadvisor shall pay or reimburse the Trust for the entire amount of all such expenses of the Fund (or such lesser amount as the Adviser may request). The Adviser agrees that, in addition to any amounts otherwise payable to the Subadvisor with respect to the Fund hereunder, the Adviser shall pay the Subadvisor all amounts previously paid or reimbursed by the Subadvisor to the extent that such amounts are subsequently paid by the Trust to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement.
