1. The first two sentences of Section 16 are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
16. Duration and Termination. With respect to each Series identified as a Series on Schedule A hereto as in effect on the date of this Amendment, unless earlier terminated with respect to any Series this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect through November 30, 2007. Thereafter, unless earlier terminated with respect to a Series, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each such Series for periods of one year, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, or (ii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Series (as defined in the 1940 Act), and provided that such continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Trust or the Manager, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
With
respect to any Series that was added to Schedule A

the condition that the Trust’s Board of Trustees, including a majority of those
Trustees who are not interested persons (as such term is defined in the 0000

this Agreement. Unless terminated earlier as provided herein with respect to
any such Series, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a
period of two years from the date of its effectiveness (as identified above)
with respect to that Series. Thereafter, unless earlier terminated with respect
to a Series, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect
to each such Series for periods of one year, provided that such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the
Board of Trustees of the Trust, or (ii) vote of a majority of the
1
outstanding voting shares of such Series (as defined in the 1940 Act), and provided that such continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Trust or the Manager, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
2. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
3. In all other respects, the Agreement is hereby confirmed and remains in full force and effect.
