The Portfolio Manager will provide investment research and analysis, which may consist of computerized investment methodology, and will conduct a continuous program of evaluation, investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Funds’ assets by determining the securities and other investments that shall be purchased, entered into, sold, closed, or exchanged for the Funds, when these transactions should be executed, and what portion of the assets of the Funds should be held in the various securities and other investments in which it may invest, and the Portfolio Manager is hereby authorized to execute and perform such services on behalf of the Funds.

Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Portfolio Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Funds to pay a broker or dealer, acting as agent, for effecting a portfolio transaction at a price in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Portfolio Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Portfolio Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Funds and to its other clients as to which it exercises investment discretion. To the extent consistent with these standards, and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-(2)(T) thereunder, and subject to any other applicable laws and regulations, the Portfolio Manager is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of the Funds to the Portfolio Manager if it is registered as a broker or dealer with the SEC, to its affiliate that is registered as a broker or dealer with the SEC, or to such brokers and dealers that also provide research or statistical research and material, or other services to the Funds or the Portfolio Manager. Such allocations shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Portfolio Manager shall determine consistent with the above standards, and, upon request, the Portfolio Manager will report on said allocations to the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, indicating the brokers or dealers to which such allocations have been made and the basis therefor.

(d) May, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is deemed to be in the best interest of the Funds as well as any other investment advisory clients, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased with those of its other clients where such aggregation is not inconsistent with the policies set forth in the Registration Statement. 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 Portfolio Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable in the judgment of the Portfolio Manager in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Trust and to such other clients.

(e) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Funds, arrange for the transmission to the custodian for the Trust on a daily basis, such confirmations, trade tickets, and other documents and information, including, but not limited to, Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers that identify securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Funds, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian to perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Funds, and, with respect to portfolio securities to be purchased or sold through the Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the automatic transmission of the confirmation of such trades to the Trust’s custodian.
