From time to time, Client may, upon notice to Subadviser, make additions to the Account and may, upon notice to Subadviser, make withdrawals from the Account. To the extent that such withdrawals shall reduce the assets of the Account to zero, Subadviser shall not be entitled to any fees as set forth hereunder for the period of time for which no assets are held in the Account, notwithstanding any termination provisions set forth in this Agreement.

Subadviser will report quarterly to Client and the Fund regarding such voting in a format reasonably requested by the Client.

In addition, Subadviser shall give Client written notice of the replacement of any employee of Subadviser who has direct supervisory responsibility for the key personnel or who has responsibility for setting investment policy as soon as reasonably practicable.

6. RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING

Subadviser will maintain proper and complete records relating to the furnishing of services under this Agreement, including records with respect to the acquisition, holding and disposition of securities for Client in accordance with applicable laws and rules and such reasonable instructions as shall be provided to Subadviser by Client from time to time. All records maintained pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to examination by Client and by persons authorized by it during normal business hours upon reasonable notice. Except as may be required by applicable law, rule or as requested by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over a party to this Agreement or as directed by other party in writing, Subadviser and Client shall keep confidential the records and other information obtained by reason of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Subadviser shall promptly, upon demand, return to Client all records Client reasonably believes are necessary in order to discharge its responsibilities to The Vantagepoint Funds. Subadviser shall be entitled to retain originals or copies of records pursuant to the requirements of applicable laws or regulations.

(b) Quarterly Valuation Reports. Subadviser shall use its best efforts to provide to Client within ten (10) business days after the end of each calendar quarter a statement of the fair market value of the Account as of the close of such quarter together with an itemized list of the assets in the Account, as that information is reported on Subadviser’s record keeping system.

(c) Reconciliations. On a daily basis, Subadviser shall review reports of the Account’s portfolio holdings as provided to Subadviser by the Custodian and shall report as promptly as possible on the same business day to the Custodian and to Client any discrepancies between the prices assigned to the securities in the Account and the prices that Subadviser believes should be assigned to them. On an ongoing basis, Subadviser shall monitor market developments for significant events occurring after the close of the primary markets for particular securities held by the Account that may materially affect their value, and shall promptly notify Client of any such event that comes to Subadviser’s attention. On a monthly basis, Subadviser shall reconcile security and cash positions, and market values to the Custodian’s records and report discrepancies to Client within ten (10) business days after the end of the month, or within three (3) business days of receipt of the custodial statement, whichever comes later.

(d) Loss Reimbursement. Subadviser shall reimburse the Account for any material error to the Fund’s net asset value caused by Subadviser’s breach of its standard of care, as set forth in the following sentence that is a direct cause of a delay in the accurate daily pricing of the Fund. In managing the Account, Subadviser shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.

(e) Reports. Subadviser shall furnish Client and the Board of Directors of The Vantagepoint Funds such periodic and special reports and non-proprietary or non-confidential information as shall be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of any subadvisory agreement between Client and Subadviser with respect to the assets of the Fund including but not limited to: (i) a quarterly report and attestation to the Board of Directors of The Vantagepoint Funds regarding activities and practices relating to transactions entered into in accordance with Rules 10f-3, 17a-7, 17e-1 under the 1940 Act, the purchase or holding of any Rule 144(a) securities or any other technically restricted and/or potentially illiquid securities in the Account, any soft dollar transactions entered into by the Subadviser, and whether the Subadviser violated the restrictions imposed on it by the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information; (ii) information relating to the use of brokers; and (iii) information relating to regulatory and/or law enforcement inquiries or actions.

(f) Other Reports on Request. Subadviser shall provide to Client promptly upon reasonable request any information available in the records maintained by Subadviser relating to the Account.

(g) Review of Materials. During the term of this Agreement, Client shall ensure that all prospectuses, statements of additional information, registration statements, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, advertising and sales literature or other materials prepared for distribution to Fund shareholders or the public, which refer to the Subadviser in any way, prepared by employees or agents of Client or its affiliates are consistent with information previously provided by Subadviser. Subadviser shall promptly notify the Client of any changes to information pertaining to the Subadviser and stated in the materials described in this Section 6(g).

7. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES

(a) Selection of Brokers and Dealers. Except to the extent otherwise instructed in writing by Client (it being understood that Client, acting on behalf of the Fund, may, in its absolute discretion and consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act and other applicable laws and rules, direct Fund portfolio transactions for which Subadviser is responsible to any broker-dealer that Client may designate), Subadviser shall place all orders for the purchase or sale of securities on behalf of the Account with brokers or dealers selected by Subadviser, but not with a person affiliated with Subadviser, as the term “affiliated person” is defined in the 1940 Act (hereafter an “Affiliate”), unless the transaction is in compliance with Rules 17e-1 or 10f-3 under the 1940 Act or other applicable rules and with The Vantagepoint Funds’ policies and procedures thereunder, copies of which shall be provided to Subadviser. Subadviser will make reasonable efforts to ensure that brokers and/or dealers perform their obligations to the Account, provided, however, that Subadviser will not be responsible or liable for any act or omission of any broker and/or dealer.

(b) Best Execution. In placing such orders, Subadviser will give primary consideration to obtaining the most favorable price and efficient execution reasonably available under the circumstances and in accordance with applicable law. In evaluating the terms available for executing particular transactions for the Account and in selecting broker-dealers to execute such transactions, Subadviser may consider, in addition to commission cost and execution capabilities, the financial stability and reputation of broker-dealers and the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) provided by such broker-dealers. Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker-dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a transaction which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if Subadviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker-dealer in discharging responsibilities with respect to the Account or to other client accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion.

(c) Bunching Orders. Client agrees that Subadviser may aggregate sales or purchase orders for the Account with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by Subadviser, if in Subadviser’s reasonable judgment such aggregation shall result in an overall economic benefit or more efficient execution to the Account taking into consideration the advantageous selling or purchase price, brokerage commission and other expenses. Client acknowledges that the determination of such economic benefit to the Account by Subadviser represents Subadviser’s evaluation that the Account is benefited by relatively better purchase or sales prices, lower commission expenses and beneficial timing of transactions or a combination of these and other factors. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by Subadviser in a manner Subadviser considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to its other clients.

8. INVESTMENT FEES

(a) Fee Schedule. The compensation of Subadviser for its services under this Agreement shall be calculated by Client and paid from the assets of the Account in accordance with Schedule A hereto.

(b) For purposes of this Section 8 and Schedule A, all payments due to Subadviser shall be solely made from the assets of the Fund, a portfolio of The Vantagepoint Funds.

(c) Pro Rata Fee. If Subadviser should serve for less than the whole of any calendar quarter, its compensation shall be determined as provided above on the basis of the average daily net asset value of the Account for the period of that calendar quarter and shall be payable on a pro rata basis for the period of the calendar quarter for which it has served as Subadviser hereunder. In no event shall the Subadviser receive payment for any period of time during which there were no assets in the Account.

9. BEST EFFORTS; NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF SERVICES

The Subadviser shall devote its best efforts and such time as it deems necessary to provide prompt and expert service to Client and the Fund. The services of Subadviser to be provided hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive and Subadviser shall be free to provide similar services for its own account and the accounts of other persons and to receive compensation for such services. Client acknowledges that Subadviser and its Affiliates and Subadviser’s other clients may at any time, have, acquire, increase, decrease or dispose of positions in the same investments which are at the same time being held, acquired for or disposed of under this Agreement for the Fund. Subadviser shall have no obligation to acquire or dispose of a position in any investment pursuant to this Agreement simply because Subadviser, its directors, members, Affiliates or employees invest in such a position for its or their own accounts or for the account of another client.

10. COMPLIANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Subadviser shall promptly provide The Vantagepoint Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), upon request, copies of its policies and procedures for compliance by the Subadviser and the Fund with the Federal Securities Laws as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and promptly provide the CCO with copies of any material changes to those policies and procedures. The Subadviser shall fully cooperate with the CCO as to facilitate the CCO’s performance of his/her responsibilities under Rule 38a-1 to review, evaluate and report to The Vantagepoint Funds’ Board of Directors on the operation of the Subadvisers compliance policies and procedures and shall promptly report to the CCO any “Material Compliance Matter” as defined under Rule 38a-1. At least annually, the Subadviser shall provide a certification to the CCO to the effect that the Subadviser has in place and has implemented policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Fund and the Subadviser with the Federal Securities Laws.

11. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX POLICIES AND CODE OF ETHICS

Subadviser hereby represents that it has adopted policies and procedures and a code of ethics that meet the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act. Copies of such policies and procedures and code of ethics and any changes or supplements thereto shall be delivered to Client and The Vantagepoint Funds, and any material violation of such policies by personnel of Subadviser and the sanctions imposed in response thereto and any issues arising under such policies shall be reported to Client and The Vantagepoint Funds.

12. INSURANCE

At all times during the term of this Agreement, Client and Subadviser shall each maintain, at its own cost and expense, professional liability insurance for errors, omissions and negligent acts, in an amount and with such terms as are standard in the financial services industry for an investment adviser managing the amount of aggregate assets managed by Client and Subadviser, respectively.

13. LIABILITY

(a) In the absence of any willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, Subadviser shall not be liable to Client or The Vantagepoint Funds for honest mistakes of judgment or for action or inaction taken in good faith for a purpose that Subadviser reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Fund. However, neither this provision nor any other provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which Client or The Vantagepoint Funds may have under federal or state securities laws.

(b) Client shall indemnify Subadviser against any loss, liability, damages, costs or expenses caused by the negligence or malfeasance of Client or violation of any applicable law, rule or internal policy for which Client has the primary responsibility of compliance and the responsibility for which has not been specifically delegated to Subadviser.
