The Sub-advisor will also furnish the Board and the Advisor with such statistical and analytical information with respect to investments of the Portfolio as the Sub-advisor may believe appropriate or as the Board reasonably may request. In making purchases and sales of securities and other investment assets for the Portfolio, the Sub-advisor will comply with the policies and procedures set from time to time by the Board and provided to the Sub-Advisor, as well as the limitations imposed by the Charter Documents and Registration Statement, the limitations in the 1940 Act, the Securities Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other applicable laws and the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund.

The Sub-advisor will notify the Advisor and the Trust in writing of any change of control of the Sub-advisor at least 90 days prior to any such changes and any changes in the key personnel who are either the portfolio manager(s) of the Fund or senior management of the Sub-advisor, and of any changes in the membership of the Sub-advisor, as required by Section 205(a) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), as promptly as possible, and in any event prior to such change.
(e) The Sub-advisor will maintain records relating to its portfolio transactions and placing and allocation of brokerage orders as are required to be maintained by the Trust under the 1940 Act.

To the extent required by law, the books and records pertaining to the Trust which are in possession of the Sub-advisor shall be the property of the Trust. The Advisor and the Trust, or their respective representatives, shall have access to such books and records at all times during the Sub-advisor's normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Advisor or the Trust, copies of any such books and records shall be provided promptly by the Sub-advisor to the Advisor and the Trust, or their respective representatives.
