WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust has selected
the Adviser to act as investment adviser to the Trust on behalf of the series
set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement (each a "Fund" and, collectively, the
"Funds"), as such Schedule may be amended from time to time upon mutual
agreement of the parties, and to provide certain related services, as more fully
set forth below, and to perform such services under the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth;

set forth herein, the Trust and the Adviser do hereby agree as follows:

capacity, the Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board,
regularly provide the Funds with investment research, advice and
supervision and shall furnish continuously an investment program for
the Funds, consistent with the respective investment objectives and
policies of each Fund. The Adviser shall determine, from time to time,
what securities shall be purchased for the Funds, what securities shall
be held or sold by the Funds and what portion of the Funds' assets
shall be held uninvested in cash, subject always to the provisions of
the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and its
registration statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement")
under the 1940 Act, and under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), covering Fund shares, as filed with the Securities

objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds, as each of the same

same manner and with the same force and effect as the Funds themselves
might or could do with respect to purchases, sales or other
transactions, as well as with respect to all other such things
necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such
purchases, sales or other transactions. No reference in this Agreement
to the Adviser having full discretionary authority over each Fund's
investments shall in any way limit the right of the Board, in its sole
discretion, to establish or revise policies in connection with the
management of a Fund's assets or to otherwise exercise its right to
control the overall management of a Fund.

the Adviser's obligations hereunder, the Adviser shall cause the Fund

Adviser shall maintain compliance procedures that it reasonably
believes are adequate to ensure the its compliance with the foregoing.
No supervisory activity undertaken by the Board shall limit the
Adviser's full responsibility for any of the foregoing.

proxies with respect to securities that are held by the Funds shall be
voted, and the Board has initially determined to delegate the authority
and responsibility to vote proxies for the Fund's securities to the
Adviser. So long as proxy voting authority for the Fund has been
delegated to the Adviser, the Adviser shall exercise its proxy voting
responsibilities Adviser shall carry out such responsibility in
accordance with any instructions that the Board shall provide from time
to time, and at all times in a manner consistent with Rule 206(4)-6

under the 1940 Act (the "Fund Books and Records"). The Fund Books and
Records shall be available to the Board at any time upon request, shall

provide regular reports regarding Fund holdings, and shall, on its own
initiative, furnish the Trust and its Board from time to time with

Fund may not reflect fair value. The Adviser agrees to provide any
pricing information of which the Adviser is aware to the Trust, its
Board and/or any Fund pricing agent to assist in the determination of
the fair value of any Fund holdings for which market quotations are not

ethics that it reasonably believes complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1
under the 1940 Act, which it will provide to the Trust. The Adviser shall ensure

with the requirements of Rule 17j-1, concerning the Adviser's Code of Ethics to
the Trust. The Adviser shall respond to requests for information from the Trust
as to violations of the Code by Access Persons and the sanctions imposed by the
Adviser. The Adviser shall immediately notify the Trust of any material
violation of the Code, whether or not such violation relates to an security held
by any Fund.
3. INFORMATION AND REPORTING. The Adviser shall provide the
Trust and its respective officers with such periodic reports concerning the
obligations the Adviser has assumed under this Agreement as the Trust may from
time to time reasonably request.
(a) NOTIFICATION OF BREACH / COMPLIANCE REPORTS. The Adviser
shall notify the Adviser immediately upon detection of (i) any material
failure to manage any Fund in accordance with its investment objectives
and policies or any applicable law; or (ii) any material breach of any
of the Funds' or the Adviser's policies, guidelines or procedures. In
addition, the Adviser shall provide a quarterly report regarding each
Fund's compliance with its investment objectives and policies,
3
applicable law, including, but not limited to the 1940 Act and
Subchapter M of the Code, and the Fund's policies, guidelines or
procedures as applicable to the Adviser's obligations under this
Agreement. The Adviser agrees to correct any such failure promptly and
to take any action that the Board may reasonably request in connection
with any such breach. Upon request, the Adviser shall also provide the
officers of the Trust with supporting certifications in connection with
such certifications of Fund financial statements and disclosure
controls pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Adviser will promptly
notify the Trust in the event (i) the Adviser is served or otherwise
receives notice of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public
board, or body, involving the affairs of the Trust (excluding class
action suits in which a Fund is a member of the plaintiff class by
reason of the Fund's ownership of shares in the defendant) or the
compliance by the Adviser with the federal or state securities laws or
(ii) an actual change in control of the Adviser resulting in an
"assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act) has occurred or is otherwise
proposed to occur.
(b) BOARD AND FILINGS INFORMATION. The Adviser will also
provide the Trust with any information reasonably requested regarding
its management of the Funds required for any meeting of the Board, or
for any shareholder report, amended registration statement, proxy
statement, or prospectus supplement to be filed by the Trust with the
Commission. The Adviser will make its officers and employees available
to meet with the Board from time to time on due notice to review its
investment management services to the Funds in light of current and
prospective economic and market conditions and shall furnish to the
Board such information as may reasonably be necessary in order for the
Board to evaluate this Agreement or any proposed amendments thereto.
(c) TRANSACTION INFORMATION. The Adviser shall furnish to the
Trust such information concerning portfolio transactions as may be
necessary to enable the Trust or its designated agent to perform such
compliance testing on the Funds and the Adviser's services as the Trust
may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate. The provision
of such information by the Adviser to the Trust or its designated agent
in no way relieves the Adviser of its own responsibilities under this
Agreement.
4. BROKERAGE.
(a) PRINCIPAL TRANSACTIONS. In connection with purchases or
sales of securities for the account of a Fund, neither the Adviser nor
any of its directors, officers or employees will act as a principal or
agent or receive any commission except as permitted by the 1940 Act.
(b) PLACEMENT OF ORDERS. The Adviser shall arrange for the
placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for a
Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser. In the
selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders,
the Adviser is directed at all times to seek for the Fund the most
favorable execution and net price available under the circumstances. It
is also understood that it is desirable for the Fund that the Adviser
4
have access to brokerage and research services provided by brokers who
may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Fund than
may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers, consistent with
section 28(e) of the 1934 Act and any Commission staff interpretations
thereof. Therefore, the Adviser is authorized to place orders for the
purchase and sale of securities for a Fund with such brokers, subject
to review by the Board from time to time with respect to the extent and
continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services
provided by such brokers may be useful to the Adviser in connection
with its or its affiliates' services to other clients.
(c) AGGREGATED TRANSACTIONS. On occasions when the Adviser
deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of
a Fund as well as other clients of the Adviser, the Adviser may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, aggregate the order
for securities to be sold or purchased. In such event, the Adviser will
allocate securities or futures contracts so purchased or sold, as well
as the expenses incurred in the transaction, in the manner the Adviser
reasonably considers to be equitable and consistent with its fiduciary
obligations to the Fund and to such other clients under the
circumstances.
(d) AFFILIATED BROKERS. The Adviser or any of its affiliates
may act as broker in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
or other investments for a Fund, subject to: (a) the requirement that
the Adviser seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy
guidelines determined by the Board and set forth in the Fund's current
prospectus and SAI; (b) the provisions of the 1940 Act; (c) the
provisions of the Advisers Act; (d) the provisions of the 1934 Act; and
(e) other provisions of applicable law. These brokerage services are
not within the scope of the duties of the Adviser under this Agreement.
Subject to the requirements of applicable law and any procedures
adopted by the Board, the Adviser or its affiliates may receive
brokerage commissions, fees or other remuneration from a Fund for these
services in addition to the Adviser's fees for services under this
Agreement.
5. CUSTODY. Nothing in this Agreement shall permit the Adviser
to take or receive physical possession of cash, securities or other investments
of a Fund.
6. ALLOCATION OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES. The Adviser will bear its
own costs of providing services hereunder. Other than as herein specifically
indicated, the Adviser shall not be responsible for a Fund's expenses, including
brokerage and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and
sale of securities and other investment instruments.
7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

the Adviser, there is no proceeding or investigation that is reasonably
likely to result in the Adviser being prohibited from performing the
services contemplated by this Agreement. The Adviser agrees to promptly
notify the Trust of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify
the Adviser from serving as an investment adviser to an investment
company. The Adviser is in compliance in all material respects with all
5
applicable federal and state law in connection with its investment

insurance coverage in an appropriate amount and shall provide prior
written notice to the Trust (i) of any material changes in its

interest of the Fund.
(g) CONFLICTS. The Adviser shall act honestly, in good faith
and in the best interests of the Trust including requiring any of its

license to use the name "Haverford" (the "Name") as part of the name of any
Fund. The foregoing authorization by the Adviser to the Trust to use the Name as
