In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Adviser, Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of either the Trust, Adviser, or Sub-Adviser, except as may be permitted under the 1940 Act;

to the extent that the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“CEA”), and the then-current Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations require (i) registration by either party as a Commodity Pool Operator or Commodity Trading Advisor, (ii) specific disclosure, or as applicable to it (iii) filing of reports and other documents, each shall comply with such requirements;

Aggregation of Orders. Provided the investment objectives of the Fund are adhered to, the Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser may aggregate sales and purchase orders of securities held in the Fund with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser or with accounts of the affiliates of the Sub-Adviser, if in the Sub-Adviser’s reasonable judgment such aggregation shall result in an overall economic benefit to the Fund, taking into consideration the advantageous selling or purchase price, brokerage commission and other expenses. The Adviser acknowledges that the determination of such economic benefit to the Fund by the Sub-Adviser is subjective and represents the Sub-Adviser’s evaluation that the Fund is benefited by relatively better purchase or sales prices, lower commission expenses and beneficial timing of transactions or a combination of these and other factors.
|
|
5.

The Sub-Adviser may, using such of the securities and other property in the Fund as the Sub-Adviser deems necessary or desirable, direct the Adviser to deposit on behalf of the Fund, original and maintenance brokerage 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-Adviser deems desirable or appropriate.

Services to Others. Adviser understands, and has advised the Trust’s Board of Trustees, that Sub-Adviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as investment adviser or sub-investment adviser to other investment companies. Adviser has no objection to Sub-Adviser acting in such capacities, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other investment advisory clients of Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments selected for each will be allocated in a manner believed by Sub-Adviser to be equitable to each. Adviser recognizes, and has advised Trust’s Board of Trustees, that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that the participating Fund may obtain in a particular security. In addition, Adviser understands, and has advised Trust’s Board of Trustees, that the persons employed by Sub-Adviser to assist in Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to limit or restrict the right of Sub-Adviser or any of its affiliates to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature.
|
|
10.
|
Standard of Care and Limitation of Liability. The Sub-Adviser shall exercise its good judgment and shall act in good faith in rendering the services pursuant to this Agreement.
|
|
Sub-Adviser, its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates will not be subject to any liability to the Adviser or the Fund or their directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement, except for a loss resulting from Sub-Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
