XXXXX XXXXX SPECIAL INVESTMENT TRUST

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

ON BEHALF OF XXXXX XXXXX CAPITAL & INCOME STRATEGIES FUND

AGREEMENT made this 13th day of November, 2006, between Xxxxx Xxxxx Special Investment
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of Xxxxx Xxxxx Capital & Income Strategies
Fund (the “Fund”) and Xxxxx Xxxxx Management, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Adviser”).

1. Duties of the Adviser. The Trust hereby employs the Adviser to act as investment adviser
for and to manage the investment and reinvestment of assets of the Fund and to administer its investment
affairs, subject to the supervision of the Trustees of the Trust, for the period and on the terms set forth in this
Agreement.

The Adviser hereby accepts such employment, and undertakes to afford to the Trust the advice and
assistance of the Adviser's organization in the choice of investments and in the purchase and sale of
securities for the Fund and to furnish for the use of the Fund office space and all necessary office facilities,
equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Fund and for administering its affairs and to
pay the salaries and fees of all officers and Trustees of the Trust who are members of the Adviser's
organization and all personnel of the Adviser performing services relating to research and investment
activities. The Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall,
except as otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in
any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust.

The Adviser shall provide the Trust with such investment management and supervision as the Trust
may from time to time consider necessary for the proper supervision of the Fund’s investments. As
investment adviser to the Fund, the Adviser shall furnish continuously an investment program and shall
determine from time to time what securities and other investments shall be acquired, disposed of or
exchanged and what portion of the Fund’s assets shall be held uninvested, subject always to the applicable
restrictions of the Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and registration statement of the Trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, all as from time to time amended. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Trust, to buy, sell, and otherwise trade in any and all types
of securities, commodities and investment instruments on behalf of the Fund. Should the Trustees of the
Trust at any time, however, make any specific determination as to investment policy for the Fund and notify
the Adviser thereof in writing, the Adviser shall be bound by such determination for the period, if any,
specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked. The Adviser
shall take, on behalf of the Trust, all actions which it deems necessary or desirable to implement the
investment policies of the Trust and of the Fund.

The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities for the account of
the Fund either directly with the issuer or with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser, and to that end the
Adviser is authorized as the agent of the Fund to give instructions to the custodian of the Fund as to
deliveries of securities and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with the selection
of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Adviser shall adhere to procedures adopted by
the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

2. Compensation of the Adviser. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has currently determined
that the Adviser shall receive no compensation from the Trust or the Fund in respect of the services to be
rendered and the facilities to be provided by the Adviser under this Agreement, except to the extent that the
assets of the Fund are invested directly in securities. If the Adviser invests the Fund’s assets directly in
securities, the Adviser shall be entitled to receive from the Fund an advisory fee in an amount equal to the
following average daily net assets of the Fund that are invested directly in securities:

		Average Daily Net Assets		Annual Fee Rate
Up to $500 million				0.6500%
$500 million but less than $1 billion				0.6250%
$1		billion but less than $1.5 billion		0.6000%
$1.5 billion but less than $2 billion				0.5500%
$2		billion but less than $3 billion		0.5000%
$3		billion and over		0.4375%

Such compensation shall be paid monthly in arrears on the last business day of each month. The
Fund’s daily net assets shall be computed in accordance with the Declaration of Trust of the Trust and any
applicable votes and determinations of the Trustees of the Trust. In case of initiation or termination of the
Agreement during any month with respect to the Fund, the fee for that month shall be based on the number
of calendar days during which it is in effect. The Adviser may, from time to time, waive all or a part of the
above compensation.

3. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. It is understood that the Fund will pay all expenses
other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which expenses payable by the
Fund shall include, without implied limitation, (i) expenses of maintaining the Fund and continuing its
existence, (ii) registration of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (iii) commissions,
fees and other expenses connected with the acquisition, holding and disposition of securities and other
investments, (iv) auditing, accounting and legal expenses, (v) taxes and interest, (vi) governmental fees,
(vii) expenses of issue, sale, and redemption of shares, (viii) expenses of registering and qualifying the
Fund and its shares under federal and state securities laws and of preparing and printing registration
statements or other offering statements or memoranda for such purposes and for distributing the same to
shareholders and investors, and fees and expenses of registering and maintaining registrations of the Fund
and of the Fund’s placement agent as broker-dealer or agent under state securities laws, (ix) expenses of
reports and notices to shareholders and of meetings of shareholders and proxy solicitations therefor, (x)
expenses of reports to governmental officers and commissions, (xi) insurance expenses, (xii) association

disbursements of transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, shareholder servicing agents and registrars
for all services to the Fund, (xv) expenses for servicing shareholder accounts, (xvi) any direct charges to
shareholders approved by the Trustees of the Trust, (xvii) compensation and expenses of Trustees of the
Trust who are not members of the Adviser’s organization, (xviii) all payments to be made and expenses to
be assumed by the Fund pursuant to any one or more distribution plans adopted by the Trust on behalf of
the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (xix) such non-
recurring items as may arise, including expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings and
claims and the obligation of the Trust to indemnify its Trustees, officers and shareholders with respect
thereto.

otherwise and that trustees, officers, employees and shareholders of the Adviser are or may be or become
similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a
shareholder or otherwise. It is also understood that trustees, officers, employees and shareholders of the
Adviser may be or become interested (as directors, trustees, officers, employees, shareholders or otherwise)
in other companies or entities (including, without limitation, other investment companies) which the Adviser
may organize, sponsor or acquire, or with which it may merge or consolidate, and which may include the
words “Xxxxx Xxxxx” or “Boston Management and Research” or any combination thereof as part of their
name, and that the Adviser or its subsidiaries or affiliates may enter into advisory or management
agreements or other contracts or relationships with such other companies or entities.

5. Limitation of Liability of the Adviser. The services of the Adviser to the Fund are not to be
deemed to be exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage in other business
activities. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the
Trust or to any shareholder of the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services hereunder or for any losses which may be sustained in the acquisition, holding or
disposition of any security or other investment.

6. Sub-Investment Advisers. The Adviser may employ one or more sub-investment advisers
from time to time to perform such of the acts and services of the Adviser, including the selection of brokers
or dealers or other persons to execute the Fund’s portfolio security transactions, and upon such terms and
conditions as may be agreed upon between the Adviser and such sub-investment adviser and approved by
the Trustees of the Trust, all as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

7. Duration and Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon
the date of its execution, and, unless terminated as herein provided, shall remain in full force and effect
through and including the second anniversary of the execution of this Agreement and shall continue in full
force and effect indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as such continuance after such date is specifically
approved at least annually (i) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust
who are not interested persons of the Adviser or the Trust cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on such approval.

Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other, terminate
this Agreement without the payment of any penalty, by action of Trustees of the Trust or the trustees of the
Adviser, as the case may be, and the Trust may, at any time upon such written notice to the Adviser,
terminate this Agreement by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. This
Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

8. Amendments of the Agreement. This Agreement may be amended by a writing signed by
both parties hereto, provided that no amendment to this Agreement shall be effective until approved (i) by
the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Adviser or the
Trust cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) if required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

9. Limitation of Liability. The Adviser expressly acknowledges the provision in the
Declaration of Trust of the Trust limiting the personal liability of shareholders of the Fund, and the Adviser
hereby agrees that it shall have recourse to the Trust or the Fund for payment of claims or obligations as
between the Trust or the Fund and the Adviser arising out of this Agreement and shall not seek satisfaction
from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Fund.

10. Use of the Name “Xxxxx Xxxxx”. The Adviser hereby consents to the use by the Fund of
the name “Xxxxx Xxxxx” as part of the Fund’s name; provided, however, that such consent shall be
conditioned upon the employment of the Adviser or one of its affiliates as the investment adviser of the
Fund. The name “Xxxxx Xxxxx” or any variation thereof may be used from time to time in other
connections and for other purposes by the Adviser and its affiliates and other investment companies that
have obtained consent to the use of the name “Xxxxx Xxxxx”. The Adviser shall have the right to require the
Fund to cease using the name “Xxxxx Xxxxx” as part of the Fund’s name if the Fund ceases, for any reason,
to employ the Adviser or one of its affiliates as the Fund’s investment adviser. Future names adopted by the
Fund for itself, insofar as such names include identifying words requiring the consent of the Adviser, shall
be the property of the Adviser and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions.

11. Certain Definitions. The terms “assignment” and “interested persons” when used herein
shall have the respective meanings specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as
hereafter amended subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission by any rule, regulation or order. The term “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities” shall mean the vote, at a meeting of shareholders, of the lesser of (a) 67 per centum or more of
the shares of the Fund present or represented by proxy at the meeting if the holders of more than 50 per
centum of the shares of the Fund are present or represented by proxy at the meeting, or (b) more than 50 per
centum of the shares of the Fund.
