APPENDIX A

The Subadviser Percentage Fee shall be accrued for each calendar day and the sum of the daily
fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Subadviser. The daily fee accruals will be computed by
multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable
annual rate described in the preceding paragraph, and multiplying this product by the net assets of
the portfolio as determined in accordance with the Trust’s prospectus and statement of additional
information as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the Trust was open
for business.
If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the fee (if
any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such
month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion
which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.
