WHEREAS, Touchstone and Xxxx wish to enter into this Addendum to the Sub-Advisory Agreement to reflect these changes;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

For purposes of calculating the Sub-Advisor’s fee, the daily value of the Fund Assets shall be computed by the same method as the Trust uses to compute the net asset value of the Fund for purposes of purchases and redemptions of shares thereof.
2. Except for the provisions of this Addendum, the Sub-Advisory Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and be binding upon the parties notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Addendum.
