NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
I. APPOINTMENT OF SUBADVISER; COMPENSATION
1.1 Appointment as Subadviser. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions hereof, Manager hereby appoints Subadviser as investment subadviser to perform the various investment advisory and other services to the Portfolio set forth herein and, subject to the restrictions set forth herein, hereby delegates to Subadviser the authority vested in Manager pursuant to the Management Contract to the extent necessary to enable Subadviser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
1.2 Scope of Investment Authority. (a) The Subadviser is hereby authorized, on a discretionary basis, to manage the investments and determine the composition of the assets of the Portfolio, subject at all times to (i) the supervision and control of the Trustees, (ii) the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") and the rules thereunder, (iii) the investment objective, policies and limitations, as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus and other governing documents, and (iv) such instructions, policies and limitations relating to the Portfolio and/or the performance of oversight of the Subadviser's duties hereunder as the Trustees or Manager may from time to time adopt and communicate in writing to Subadviser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subadviser is not authorized to take any action, including the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, in contravention of any restriction, limitation, objective, policy or instruction described in the previous sentence.
(b) It is understood and agreed that, for so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, Subadviser shall retain discretionary investment authority over the manner in which the Portfolio's assets are invested, and Manager shall not have the right to overrule any investment decision with respect to a particular security made by Subadviser, provided that the Trustees and Manager shall at all times have the right to monitor the Portfolio's investment activities and performance, require Subadviser to make reports and give explanations as to the manner in which the Portfolio's assets are being invested, and, should either Manager or the Trustees become dissatisfied with Subadviser's performance in any way, terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof.
1.3 Appointment as Proxy Voting Agent. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustees hereby appoint Subadviser as the Portfolio's proxy voting agent, and hereby delegate to Subadviser discretionary authority to vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities in which the assets of the Portfolio may be invested from time to time. Subadviser may act as the Portfolio's proxy voting agent directly or Subadviser may (in whole or in part) employ a third-party to vote proxies on behalf of the Portfolio, provided, however, that in either case, Subadviser shall be responsible for voting all proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. Upon sixty (60) days written notice to Subadviser, the Trustees may at any time withdraw the authority granted to Subadviser pursuant to this Section 1.3 to perform any or all of the proxy voting services contemplated hereby.
1.4 Governing Documents. Manager will provide Subadviser with copies of (i) the Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-laws, as currently in effect, (ii) the Portfolio's currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information, as set forth in the Trust's registration statement under the Investment Company Act and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (iii) any instructions, investment policies or other restrictions adopted by the Trustees or Manager relating to its performance of oversight of the Subadviser supplemental thereto, and (iv) the Management Contract. Manager will provide Subadviser with such further documentation and information concerning the investment objectives, policies and restrictions applicable to the Portfolio as Subadviser may from time to time reasonably request.
1.5 Subadviser's Relationship. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subadviser shall be an independent contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the Trust, the Portfolio or Manager in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of any of them, except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or in writing by the Trust or Manager.
1.6 Compensation. Subadviser shall be compensated for the services it performs on behalf of the Portfolio in accordance with the terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement.
II. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY SUBADVISER
2.1 Investment Advisory Services. (a) In fulfilling its obligations to manage the assets of the Portfolio, Subadviser will:
(i) formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the Portfolio;
(ii) take whatever steps are necessary to implement these investment programs by the purchase and sale of securities and other investments, including the selection of brokers or dealers, the placing of orders for such purchases and sales in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) below and assuring that such purchases and sales are properly settled and cleared;
(iii) provide such reports with respect to the implementation of the Portfolio's investment program as the Trustees or Manager shall reasonably request; and
(iv) provide advice and assistance to Manager as to the determination of the fair value of certain securities where market quotations are not readily available for purposes of calculating net asset value of the Portfolio in accordance with valuation procedures and methods established by the Trustees.
(b) The Subadviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers and dealers selected by Subadviser. Such brokers and dealers may include brokers or dealers that are "affiliated persons" (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Trust, the Portfolio, Manager or Subadviser, provided that Subadviser shall only place orders on behalf of the Portfolio with such affiliated persons in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the Investment Company Act. The Subadviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or other accounts over which Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provided such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Subadviser and its affiliates have in respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
2.2. Administrative and Other Services. (a) Subadviser will, at its expense, furnish (i) all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of 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 affairs of the Portfolio (excluding determination of net asset values and shareholder accounting services).
(b) Subadviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with respect to the Portfolio as are required of an investment adviser of a registered investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder. Subadviser agrees that such records are the property of the Trust, and will be surrendered to the Trust promptly upon request. The Manager shall be granted reasonable access to the records and documents in Subadviser's possession relating to the Portfolios.
(c) Subadviser shall provide such information as is necessary to enable Manager to prepare and update the Trust's registration statement (and any supplement thereto) and the Portfolio's financial statements. Subadviser understands that the Trust and Manager will rely on such information in the preparation of the Trust's registration statement and the Portfolio's financial statements, and hereby covenants that any such information approved by Subadviser expressly for use in such registration and/or financial statements shall be true and complete in all material respects.
(d) Subadviser will vote the Portfolio's investment securities in the manner in which Subadviser believes to be in the best interests of the Portfolio, and shall review its proxy voting activities on a periodic basis with the Trustees.
III. COMPLIANCE; CONFIDENTIALITY
3.1 Compliance. (a) Subadviser will comply with (i) all applicable state and federal laws and regulations governing the performance of the Subadviser's duties hereunder, (ii) the investment objective, policies and limitations, as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus and other governing documents, and (iii) such instructions, policies and limitations relating to the Portfolio and/or the oversight of the Subadviser's performance of its duties hereunder as the Trustees or Manager may from time to time adopt and communicate in writing to subadviser.
(b) Subadviser will adopt a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and will provide the Trust with a copy of such code of ethics, evidence of its adoption and copies of any supplemental policies and procedures implemented to ensure compliance therewith.
3.2 Confidentiality. The parties to this Agreement agree that each shall treat as confidential all information provided by a party to the others regarding such party's business and operations, including without limitation the investment activities or holdings of the Portfolio. All confidential information provided by a party hereto shall be used by any other parties hereto solely for the purposes of rendering services pursuant to this Agreement and, except as may be required in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of such providing party. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information that is publicly available when provided or which thereafter becomes publicly available other than in contravention of this Section 3.2 or which is required to be disclosed by any regulatory authority in the lawful and appropriate exercise of its jurisdiction over a party, any auditor of the parties hereto, by judicial or administrative process or otherwise by applicable law or regulation.
IV. LIABILITY OF SUBADVISER
4.1 Liability; Standard of Care. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Subadviser, nor any of its directors, officers or employees, shall be liable to Manager or the Trust for any loss resulting from Subadviser's acts or omissions as Subadviser to the Portfolio, except to the extent any such losses result from bad faith, willful misfeasance, reckless disregard or gross negligence on the part of the Subadviser or any of its directors, officers or employees in the performance of the Subadviser's duties and obligations under this Agreement.
4.2 Indemnification. (a) Subadviser agrees to indemnify and hold the Trust and Manager harmless from any and all direct or indirect liabilities, losses or damages (including reasonable attorneys fees) suffered by the Trust or Manager resulting from (i) Subadviser's breach of its duties hereunder, or (ii) bad faith, willful misfeasance, reckless disregard or gross negligence on the part of the Subadviser or any of its directors, officers or employees in the performance of the Subadviser's duties and obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such loss results from the Trust's or Manager's own willful misfeasance, bad faith, reckless disregard or negligence in the performance of their respective duties and obligations under the Management Contract or this Agreement.

V. SUPPLEMENTAL ARRANGEMENTS; EXPENSES; INSURANCE
5.1 Supplemental Arrangements. Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustees and Manager, Subadviser may enter into arrangements with other persons affiliated with Subadviser to better fulfill its obligations under this Agreement for the provision of certain personnel and facilities to Subadviser, provided that such arrangements do not rise to the level of an advisory contract subject to the requirements of Section 15 of the Investment Company Act.
5.2 Expenses. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by Subadviser hereunder or by Manager under the Management Agreement. Expenses paid by the Portfolio will include, but not be limited to, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trustees other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, Manager or Subadviser; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a proportionate share of insurance premiums for fidelity bond and other coverage; (x) a proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi) investment management fees; (xii) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xiii) expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiv) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and any legal obligation that the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Trustees, officers and/or employees or agents with respect thereto. Subadviser shall not cause the Trust or the Portfolios to incur any expenses, other than those reasonably necessary for Subadviser to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, unless Subadviser has first notified Manager of its intention to do so.
5.3 Insurance. Subadviser shall maintain for the duration hereof, with an insurer acceptable to Manager, a blanket bond and professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance in amounts reasonably acceptable to Manager. Subadviser agrees that such insurance shall be considered primary and Subadviser shall assure that such policies pay claims prior to similar policies that may be maintained by Manager. In the event Subadviser fails to have in force such insurance, that failure will not exclude Subadviser's responsibility to pay for any damages in breach hereof.
VI. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
6.1 Conflicts of Interest. It is understood that the Trustees, officers, agents and shareholders of the Trust are or may be interested in Subadviser as directors, officers, stockholders or otherwise; that directors, officers, agents and stockholders of Subadviser are or may be interested in the Trust as trustees, officers, shareholders or otherwise; that Subadviser may be interested in the Trust; and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided in the Trust's Declaration of Trust and the Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Subadviser, respectively, or by specific provisions of applicable law.
