Classification: Company Confidential
provided | or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Manager in | |
any | way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or the Manager. | |
2. | Obligations of and Services to be Provided by the Sub-Advisor | |
The | Sub-Advisor will: | |
(a) | Provide investment advisory services, including but not limited to research, advice and supervision for the Allocated Assets of the Fund. The Sub-Advisor’s responsibility in providing advice to the Fund is limited to the discrete portion of the Fund’s portfolio represented by the Allocated Assets. | |
(b) | Furnish to the Board of Trustees of the Fund for approval (or any appropriate committee of such Board), and revise from time to time as conditions require, a recommended investment program for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and any specific criteria applicable to the Allocated Assets. | |
(c) | Implement the approved investment program for the Allocated Assets by placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other permitted investment instruments without prior consultation with the Manager and without regard to the length of time the securities or other permitted investment instruments have been held, the resulting rate of portfolio turnover or any tax considerations, subject always to the provisions of the Fund’s registration statement, Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws and the requirements of the 1940 Act, as each of the same shall be from time to time in effect. | |
(d) | Advise and assist the officers of the Fund, as requested by the officers, in taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the decisions of its Board of Trustees, and any appropriate committees of such Board, regarding the general conduct of the investment business of the Fund. | |
(e) | Maintain, in connection with the Sub-Advisor’s investment advisory services provided to the Allocated Assets, compliance with the 1940 Act and the regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and the Fund’s investment strategies and restrictions as stated in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information and any specific criteria applicable to the Allocated Assets. | |
(f) | Report to the Board of Trustees of the Fund at such times and in such detail as the Board of Trustees may reasonably deem appropriate in order to enable it to determine | |
that | the investment policies, procedures and approved investment program of the | |
Fund | (and any specific criteria applicable to the Allocated Assets) are being observed. | |
(g) | Upon request, provide assistance and recommendations for the determination of the | |
fair | value of certain securities and other investment instruments when reliable market | |
quotations | are not readily available for purposes of calculating net asset value in | |
accordance | with procedures and methods established by the Fund’s Board of | |
Trustees. | ||
(h) | Furnish, at its own expense, (i) all necessary investment and management facilities, | |
including | salaries of clerical and other personnel required for it to execute its duties | |
faithfully, | and (ii) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel | |
and | equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment advisory affairs | |
of | the Fund. | |
(i) | Open accounts with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act compliant broker-dealers | |
and | futures commission merchants (“broker-dealers”), select broker-dealers to effect | |
all | transactions for the Fund, place all necessary orders with broker-dealers or issuers | |
(including | affiliated broker-dealers), and negotiate commissions, if applicable. To the |
2
Classification: Company Confidential
extent | consistent with applicable law, purchase or sell orders for the Fund may be | |
aggregated | with contemporaneous purchase or sell orders of other clients of the Sub- | |
Advisor. | In such event allocation of securities so sold or purchased, as well as the | |
expenses | incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Advisor in the manner | |
the | Sub-Advisor considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary | |
obligations | to the Fund and to other clients. The Sub-Advisor will report on such | |
allocations | at the request of the Manager, the Fund or the Fund’s Board of Trustees | |
providing | such information as the number of aggregated trades to which the Fund was | |
a | party, the broker-dealers to whom such trades were directed and the basis for the | |
allocation | for the aggregated trades. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to | |
obtain | execution of transactions for the Fund at prices which are advantageous to the | |
Fund | and at commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. | |
However, | the Sub-Advisor may select brokers or dealers on the basis that they provide | |
brokerage, | research or other services or products to the Sub-Advisor. To the extent | |
consistent | with applicable law, the Sub-Advisor may pay a broker or dealer an amount | |
of | commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of | |
commission | or dealer spread another broker or dealer would have charged for | |
effecting | that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount | |
of | commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research | |
products | and/or services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination, with | |
respect | to brokerage and research products and/or services, may be viewed in terms | |
of | either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor | |
and | its affiliates have with respect to the Fund as well as to accounts over which they | |
exercise | investment discretion. Not all such services or products need be used by the | |
Sub-Advisor | in managing the Allocated Assets. In addition, joint repurchase or other | |
accounts | may not be utilized by the Fund except to the extent permitted under any | |
exemptive | order obtained by the Sub-Advisor provided that all conditions of such order | |
are | complied with. | |
(j) | Section 871(m) Transactions: Sub-Advisor shall not on behalf of the Fund enter into certain | |
U. | S. dividend equivalent payment transactions described in Section 871(m) of the U.S. Internal | |
Revenue | Code and the regulations thereunder (“871(m) Transaction”) with a foreign | |
counterparty | unless: (i) Sub-Advisor adheres to the ISDA 2015 Section 871(m) Protocol on | |
behalf | of the Fund, and (ii) the foreign counterparty to the 871(m) Transaction provides Sub- | |
Advisor | with a properly completed Form W-8IMY certifying to its status as a qualified derivatives | |
dealer | (“QDD”). | |
(k) | Maintain all accounts, books and records with respect to the Allocated Assets as are | |
required | of an investment advisor of a registered investment company pursuant to the | |
1940 | Act and Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and | |
the | rules thereunder, and furnish the Fund and the Manager with such periodic and | |
special | reports as the Fund or the Manager may reasonably request. In compliance | |
with | the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Advisor hereby | |
agrees | that all records that it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund, | |
agrees | to preserve for the periods described by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any | |
records | that it maintains for the Fund and that are required to be maintained by Rule | |
31a-1 | under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any | |
records | that it maintains for the Fund upon request by the Fund or the Manager. The | |
Sub-Advisor | has no responsibility for the maintenance of Fund records except insofar | |
as | is directly related to the services the Sub-Advisor provides to the Fund. | |
(l) | Observe and comply with Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the Sub-Advisor’s Code | |
of | Ethics adopted pursuant to that Rule as the same may be amended from time to | |
time. | The Manager acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Sub-Advisor’s current |

Classification: Company Confidential
Code of Ethics. The Sub-Advisor shall promptly forward to the Manager a copy of any material amendment to the Sub-Advisor’s Code of Ethics along with certification that the Sub-Advisor has implemented procedures for administering the Sub- Advisor’s Code of Ethics. | |
(m) | From time to time as the Manager or the Fund may request, furnish the requesting party reports on portfolio transactions and reports on investments held by the Fund, all in such detail as the Manager or the Fund may reasonably request. The Sub- Advisor will make available its officers and employees to meet with the Fund’s Board of Trustees at the Fund’s principal place of business on due notice to review the investments of the Fund. |
(n) | Provide such information as is customarily provided by a sub-advisor, or as may be required or reasonably requested by the Manager, for the Fund or the Manager to comply with their respective obligations under applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any state securities laws, and any rule or regulation thereunder. Such information includes, but is not limited to: the Sub-Advisor’s compliance manual and policies and procedures adopted to comply with Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act; the Sub- Advisor’s most recent annual compliance report or a detailed summary of such report; timely, accurate, and complete responses to all 15(c) questionnaires; timely, accurate, and complete responses to all Quarterly Compliance Questionnaires (including the identification of any material compliance matters and a copy of any material changes to the Sub-Advisor’s Rule 206(4)-7 compliance policies and procedures, marked to |

Annual | Proxy Voting Questionnaires; Annual Best Execution and Soft Dollar |
Questionnaires, | and responses to all other requests from the Manager. The Sub- |

by | the SEC together with all responses given by Sub-Advisor to such letters. The Sub- |
Advisor | will advise the Manager of any material changes in the Sub-Advisor’s |
ownership | within a reasonable time after any such change. |
(o) | Vote proxies received on behalf of the Fund (with respect to the Allocated Assets) in |
a | manner consistent with the Sub-Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures and |
provide | a record of votes cast containing all of the voting information required by Form |
N-PX | in an electronic format to enable the Fund to file Form N-PX as required by SEC |
rule. | |
(p) | Respond to tender offers, rights offerings and other voluntary corporate action |
requests | affecting securities and/ or other investment instruments held by the Fund |

(q) | Cooperate with the Manager in its performance of quarterly and annual tax compliance |
tests | to monitor the Fund’s compliance with Subchapter M of the Code and Section |
817(h) | of the Code. If it is determined by the Manager or its tax advisors that the Fund |
is | not in compliance with the requirements imposed by the Code, the Sub-Advisor, in |
consultation | with the Manager and its tax advisors, will take prompt action with respect |
to | the Allocated Assets (to the extent consistent with applicable law) to bring the Fund |
back | into compliance with the time permitted under the Code. |
(r) | Be responsible for any filing requirements to which it or any of its affiliated persons (as |
