This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”), made and entered into as of January 25, 2017, is made a part of the Subadvisory Agreement between Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Investment Manager”) and TCW Investment Management Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Subadviser”), dated February 6, 2013 and amended January 24, 2014 (the “Agreement”).
WHEREAS, Investment Manager desires to retain Subadviser to provide investment advisory services to an additional mutual fund, Active Portfolios® Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund, and Subadviser is willing to render such investment advisory services; and
WHEREAS, Investment Manager and Subadviser desire to amend the Agreement, including Schedule A thereto, to add, effective March 29, 2017, Active Portfolios® Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund as a “Fund” covered by the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
| 1. | Inclusion of additional Fund. All references to the “Fund” in the Agreement shall be, and hereby are, changed to the “Funds,” and shall mean those “Funds” identified on the amended Schedule A attached to this Amendment. |
Schedule A. Schedule A to the Agreement shall be, and hereby is, deleted and replaced with the Schedule A attached hereto.
| 2. | Portfolio Management. Section 1(a) of the Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended by adding the following as paragraph 1(a)(iii)(D): |
Derivatives Authority. Subadviser is authorized on behalf of each Fund, consistent with the investment discretion delegated to Subadviser herein, and is hereby appointed as each Fund’s agent and attorney in fact with authority to: (i) enter into, subject to the review of legal counsel for the Investment Manager prior to Subadviser’s execution thereof, agreements and execute any documents on behalf of each Fund (e.g. any futures or derivatives documentation such as exchange traded and over-the-counter transaction documentation, as applicable) required with respect to any investments made for each Fund (such documentation includes but is not limited to any market and/or industry standard
documentation and the standard representations contained therein); (ii) acknowledge the receipt of brokers’ risk disclosure statements, electronic trading disclosure statements and similar disclosures; and (iii) open, continue and terminate brokerage accounts and other brokerage arrangements with respect to the portfolio transactions entered into by Subadviser on behalf of each Fund. Subadviser further shall have the authority to instruct the custodian to: (i) pay cash for securities and other property delivered for each Fund; (ii) deliver or accept delivery of, upon receipt of payment or payment upon receipt of, securities, commodities or other property underlying any futures or options contracts, and other property purchased or sold for each Fund; and (iii) deposit margin or collateral which shall include the transfer of money, securities or other property to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and necessary to meet the obligations of each Fund with respect to any investments made in accordance with the Prospectus and SAI. Subadviser shall not have the authority to cause the Investment Manager to deliver securities or other property, or pay cash to Subadviser other than payment of the management fee provided for in this Agreement.
| 3. | Portfolio Management. Section 1(a) of the Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended by adding the following as paragraph (vi): |
| “(vi) | Management of Funds with Multiple Subadvisers. Subadviser’s responsibilities for providing services to a Fund shall be limited to the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to Subadviser (“Subadviser Account”). Subadviser shall not, without the prior approval of Investment Manager, effect any transactions that would cause the Subadviser Account, treated as a separate fund, to be out of compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions. Subadviser shall not consult with any other subadviser of a Fund concerning transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets.” |
| 4. | Duration. The first sentence of Section 9 shall be, and hereby is, deleted and replaced with the following sentence: |
“Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement, with respect to each Fund identified on Schedule A (as amended
from time to time), shall continue from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Thereafter, if not terminated with respect to a Fund, this Agreement shall continue automatically for successive periods of 12 months each, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the Board members who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of any such party, and (ii) by the Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Fund.
| 5. | The following shall be, and is hereby added as Section 23 to the Agreement: |
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Fund is intended to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without in any way implying that there are any other third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement or any other agreement with respect to the Trust or any of its series, no person other than the Investment Manager and the Subadviser is a party to this Agreement or shall be entitled to any right or benefit arising under or in respect of this Agreement (with the exception of the Funds), and there are no other third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be read to, (i) create in any other person (including without limitation any shareholder of any Fund) any direct, indirect, derivative, or other rights against the Investment Manager or Subadviser, or (ii) create or give rise to any duty or obligation on the part of the Investment Manager or Subadviser (including without limitation any fiduciary duty) to any person other than the Funds, all of which rights, benefits, duties, and obligations are hereby expressly excluded.
