EXHIBIT 23(d)(10)
INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
THIS INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), by and between
MARKET STREET INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY (formerly "Providentmutual
Investment Management Company"), a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Adviser"), and
XXXXX ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (the
"Subadviser"), made as of the date that Market Street Fund, Inc., a Maryland
corporation, reorganizes and redomesticates into Market Street Fund, a Delaware
business trust and effective with respect to a Portfolio of Market Street Fund
as specified in this Agreement.
The Adviser and Subadviser agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF SUBADVISER. The Adviser hereby engages the services of the
Subadviser in connection with the Adviser's management of one or more of the
portfolios of MARKET STREET FUND (the "Fund") specified in an appendix to this
Agreement (each, a "Portfolio"), as this appendix may be amended from time to
time under this Agreement ("Appendix A"). Pursuant to this Agreement and subject
to the oversight and supervision by the Adviser and the Fund's Board of Trustees
(the "Board") and officers, the Subadviser shall manage the investment and
reinvestment of all or a portion of the Portfolio's assets (collectively, the
"Portfolio Segment") that the Adviser shall, from time to time, direct and that
the Subadviser shall accept.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUBADVISER. The Subadviser hereby accepts the
engagement by the Adviser in the foregoing capacity and agrees, at the
Subadviser's own expense, to render the services set forth herein and to provide
the office space, furnishings, equipment, and personnel required by the
Subadviser to perform these services on the terms and for the compensation
provided in this Agreement.
3. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY SUBADVISER. In particular, the Subadviser shall
furnish continuously an investment program for a Portfolio Segment and shall
determine from time to time in the Subadviser's discretion the securities and
other investments to be purchased or sold or exchanged and what portions of the
Portfolio Segment shall be held in various securities, cash, or other
investments. In this connection, the Subadviser shall provide the Adviser, and
the Fund's Board and officers, with any reports and documentation as the
Adviser, and the Fund's Board and officers shall reasonably request regarding
the Subadviser's management of the Portfolio Segment assets. The Subadviser
shall not delegate any of the Subadviser's duties under this Agreement to any
other subadviser without the consent and approval of the Fund's Board and a
majority of those trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested
persons" of any party; provided, that, in the event the Subadviser is authorized
to so delegate, the Subadviser shall retain overall responsibility for these
delegated powers and functions and any and all obligations and liabilities in
connection therewith.
2
4. COMPLIANCE BY SUBADVISER WITH PORTFOLIO POLICIES AND APPLICABLE Law. The
Subadviser shall carry out the Subadviser's responsibilities under this
Agreement in compliance with: (a) a Portfolio's investment objective, policies,
and restrictions, as set forth in the Fund's current registration statement, as
amended from time to time; (b) any policies or directives as the Fund's Board
may from time to time establish or issue and communicate to the Adviser in
writing; and (c) applicable law and related regulations. The Adviser shall
promptly notify the Subadviser in writing of changes to (a) or (b) above and
shall notify the Subadviser in writing of changes to (c) above promptly after
the Adviser becomes aware of these changes.
5. SUBADVISER'S DUTIES REGARDING PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.
(a) PLACEMENT OF ORDERS. The Subadviser shall take all actions the
Subadviser considers necessary to implement the investment policies of a
Portfolio, and, in particular, to place all orders for the purchase or
sale of securities or other investments for the Portfolio Segment with
brokers or dealers that the Subadviser selects, and, to that end, the
Subadviser is authorized as the Fund's agent to give instructions to the
Fund's custodian as to deliveries of securities or other investments and
payments of cash for the Portfolio's account. In connection with the
selection of brokers or dealers and the placement of purchase and sale
orders, the Subadviser is directed at all times to seek to obtain best
execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Fund's
Board and set forth in the Fund's current registration statement.
(b) SELECTION OF BROKERS AND DEALERS. To the extent permitted by the
policy guidelines set forth in the Fund's current registration statement,
in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions,
the Subadviser is authorized to consider not only the available prices and
rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors, which may
include, without limitation: the execution capabilities of the brokers and
dealers; the research, custody, and other services provided by the brokers
and dealers that the Subadviser believes will enhance the Subadviser's
general portfolio management capabilities; the size of the transaction;
the difficulty of execution; the operational facilities of these brokers
and dealers; the risk to this broker or dealer of positioning a block of
securities; and the overall quality of brokerage and research services
provided by these brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing,
the Subadviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers
who provide brokerage and research services to the Subadviser, a higher
commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the
Subadviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of these services in terms of either
the particular transaction or in terms of the Subadviser's overall
responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio Segment and to any other
client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser advises. The execution
of these transactions shall not be considered to represent an unlawful
breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.
(c) SOFT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS. On an ongoing basis, but not less often than
annually, the Subadviser shall identify and provide a written description
to the Adviser and Fund of all "soft dollar" arrangements that the
Subadviser maintains with respect to
3
a Portfolio Segment or with brokers or dealers that execute transactions
for the Portfolio Segment. Prior to the commencement of the active
management of the Portfolio Segment, and periodically thereafter, but not
less often than annually, the Subadviser shall provide the Adviser and
Fund with a written description of all arrangements with third parties and
other individuals, entities, brokers, or money management firms that have
or may receive or share in the payment of fees for services in connection
with securing or continuing this Agreement.
(d) AGGREGATED TRANSACTIONS. The Subadviser also is authorized to
aggregate purchase and sale orders for securities held (or to be held) in
a Portfolio Segment with similar orders being made on the same day for
other client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser manages. When an
order is so aggregated: (a) the actual prices applicable to the aggregated
transaction will be averaged, and the Portfolio Segment and each other
account or portfolio participating in the aggregated transaction shall be
treated as having purchased or sold the Portfolio's portion of the
securities at this average price; and (b) all transaction costs incurred
in effecting the aggregated transaction shall be shared on a pro-rata
basis among the accounts or portfolios (including the Portfolio Segment)
participating in the transaction. When recommending or effecting a
transaction in a particular security or investment for more than one
client account or portfolio (including the Portfolio Segment), the
Subadviser may allocate the recommendations or transactions among all
accounts and portfolios for whom the recommendation is made or transaction
is effected on a basis that the Subadviser considers equitable. The
Adviser recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect
the size of the position obtainable for a Portfolio Segment.
6. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF SUBADVISER'S SERVICES. The Subadviser's services under
this Agreement are not exclusive. The Subadviser may provide the same or similar
services to other clients. The Adviser acknowledges that, except when
transactions for multiple clients are aggregated, transactions in a specific
security or other investment may not be recommended or executed at the same time
or price for all client accounts or portfolios (including the Portfolio Segment)
for which that security or investment is recommended or executed. This Agreement
does not require the Subadviser to give priority to a Portfolio Segment over
other client accounts or portfolios. The Subadviser shall for all purposes
herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise
expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the
Adviser, the Fund, or a Portfolio or otherwise be deemed an agent of the
Adviser, the Fund, or the Portfolio.
7. DELEGATION OF PROXY VOTING RIGHTS. The Adviser delegates the Adviser's
discretionary authority to exercise voting rights with respect to the securities
and other investments in a Portfolio Segment to the Subadviser. The Subadviser
shall exercise these voting rights unless and until the Adviser revokes this
delegation in writing. The Adviser may revoke this delegation at any time
without cause. The Subadviser shall maintain and preserve a record, in an easily
accessible place for a period of not less than three (3) years, of the
Subadviser's voting procedures, and of the Subadviser's actual votes, and the
Subadviser shall supply this record to the Adviser, or any authorized
representative of the Adviser, upon the written request of the Adviser or the
Adviser's authorized representative, as appropriate.
4
8. AFFILIATED BROKERS. The Subadviser or any of the Subadviser's affiliates
may act as broker in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other
investments for a Portfolio Segment, subject to: (a) the requirement that the
Subadviser seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines
determined by the Fund's Board and set forth in the Fund's current registration
statement; (b) the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Advisers Act"); (c) the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, including, but not limited to, Section 11(a) thereof; and (d) other
applicable provisions of law. These brokerage services are not within the scope
of the duties of the Subadviser under this Agreement. Subject to the
requirements of applicable law and any procedures adopted by Fund's Board, the
Subadviser or the Subadviser's affiliate may receive brokerage commissions,
fees, or other remuneration from the Portfolio or the Fund for these services in
addition to the Subadviser's fees for services under this Agreement.
9. CUSTODY. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Subadviser to take
or receive physical possession of cash, securities, or other investments of a
Portfolio Segment.
10. REGISTRATION OF SUBADVISER. The Subadviser is registered as an investment
adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Advisers Act.
The Subadviser shall remain so registered throughout the term of this Agreement
and shall notify the Adviser immediately if the Subadviser ceases to be so
registered as an investment adviser.

14. FEE PROVISIONS.
(a) FEE. For the services rendered, the facilities furnished, and the
expenses assumed by the Subadviser, the Adviser shall pay the Subadviser
quarterly fees, in arrears, based on the combined net assets of all
Portfolio Segments managed by the Subadviser, calculated daily at the
annual rate specified in an appendix to this Agreement, as this appendix
may be amended from time to time under this Agreement ("Appendix B"). The
6
Subadviser's fee shall be accrued daily at 1/365th of the applicable
annual rate set forth in Appendix B. For the purpose of accruing
compensation, the net assets of a Portfolio Segment shall be determined in
the manner and on the dates set forth in the Fund's current prospectus,
and, on days on which the net assets are not so determined, the net asset
value computation to be used shall be as determined on the immediately
preceding day on which the net assets were determined.
(b) SPECIAL FEE PROVISIONS. In the event of termination of this Agreement,
all compensation due through the date of termination will be calculated on
a pro-rated basis through the date of termination and paid within thirty
(30) business days of the date of termination. During any period when the
determination of net asset value is suspended, the net asset value of the
Portfolio as of the last business day prior to the suspension shall for
this purpose be deemed to be the net asset value at the close of each
succeeding business day until the Portfolio's net asset value is again
determined.
15. RECORDS.
(a) MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. The Subadviser hereby undertakes and agrees to
maintain, in the form and for the period required by Rule 31a-2 under the
1940 Act, all records relating to the Portfolio Segment's investments that

paragraphs (b)(5), (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(9), (b)(10), and (f) of Rule 31a-1
under the 1940 Act.
(b) OWNERSHIP OF RECORDS. The Subadviser agrees that all books and records
that the Subadviser maintains for a Portfolio or the Fund are the Fund's
property and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Adviser or the
Fund any books, records, or information upon the Adviser's or the Fund's
request; provided, however, that the Subadviser may retain copies of the
records. All the requested books and records shall be made available,
within five (5) business days of a written request, to the Fund's
accountants or auditors during regular business hours at the Subadviser's
offices. The Adviser and the Fund or either of the Adviser or Fund's
authorized representatives shall have the right to copy any records in the
possession of the Subadviser that pertain to the Portfolio or the Fund.
These books, records, information, or reports shall be made available to
properly authorized government representatives consistent with state and

the Adviser and the Fund or either of the Adviser's or Fund's authorized
representatives not less frequently than annually.

and the Portfolio are the Subadviser's clients; provided, that the
disclosure does not reveal the investment performance or the composition

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SUBADVISER. In the absence of willful

Subadviser of the Subadviser's duties under this Agreement (together, "disabling
conduct"), the Subadviser shall not be liable to the Adviser, a Portfolio, or
the Fund, or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the
course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses

other time as may be agreed to by the parties in writing after receipt thereof,
as soon as practicable after such documents become available. The Adviser shall
ensure that materials prepared by employees or agents of the Adviser that refer
