NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and each of the parties hereto intending to be legally bound, it is agreed as follows:

1. (a) The Sub-Adviser will supervise and direct the investments of the assets of the Managed Portion of each Fund listed on Schedule A attached hereto in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as provided in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as currently in effect and as the same may be hereafter modified, amended and/or supplemented from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus and SAI”), and such other limitations as the Fund may impose by notice in writing to the Sub-Adviser, subject always to the supervision and control of the Investment Manager and the Board.

(b) As part of the services it will provide hereunder, the Sub-Adviser is authorized and directed, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Fund or the Investment Manager to:

(i) obtain and evaluate information relating to investment recommendations, asset allocation advice, industries, businesses, securities markets, research, economic analysis, and other investment services with respect to the securities that are included in the Managed Portion or that are under consideration for inclusion in the Managed Portion and invest the Managed Portion in accordance with the Investment Manager's and the Board's written direction as more fully set forth herein and as otherwise directed;

(iii) provide any and all material composite or other performance information, records and supporting documentation about accounts or funds the Sub-Adviser manages, if appropriate, that are relevant to the Managed Portion and that have investment objectives, policies, and strategies substantially similar to those employed by the Sub-Adviser in managing the Managed Portion that may be reasonably necessary, under applicable laws, to allow the Fund or its agent to present information concerning the Sub-Adviser’s prior performance in the Fund’s Prospectus and SAI, and any permissible reports and materials prepared by the Fund or its agent;

The Sub-Adviser shall furnish to the Investment Manager copies of all such accounts, books, and records as the Investment Manager may reasonably request. The Sub-Adviser agrees that such accounts, books, and records are the property of the Trust, and will be surrendered to the Trust promptly upon request, with the understanding that the Sub-Adviser may retain its own copy of all records.

(c) The Sub-Adviser shall not consult with any other sub-adviser of the Fund or of any fund that is an “affiliated person” of the Fund concerning transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets. In no instance will any portfolio securities of the Fund be purchased from, or sold to, the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser, the Trust’s principal underwriter, or any affiliated persons of the Trust, the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser or the Trust’s principal underwriter, acting as principal in the transaction, except to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the 1940 Act, including Rule 17a-7 thereunder.

The Investment Manager agrees to provide the Sub-Adviser with current copies of the Trust’s and the Fund’s documents mentioned above and all changes made to such documents.

(e) In order to assist the Trust and the Trust’s chief compliance officer (the “Trust CCO”) and the Investment Manager and the Investment Manager’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “IM CCO”) in satisfying the requirements contained in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Adviser Act, respectively, the Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Trust CCO and/or IM CCO: (i) direct access to the Sub-Adviser’s chief compliance officer (the “Sub-Adviser CCO”) and its officers and employees, as reasonably requested by the Trust CCO and/or IM CCO; (ii) quarterly reports confirming that the Sub-Adviser has complied with the Trust Compliance Procedures in managing the Managed Portion; and (iii) quarterly certifications with respect to Material Compliance Matters (as that term is defined in Rule 38a-1(e)(2) under the 0000 Xxx) related to the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Managed Portion.

The Sub-Adviser shall cooperate fully with the Trust CCO and IM CCO so as to facilitate the Trust CCO’s and IM CCO’s performance of their respective responsibilities under Rule 38a-1 and Rule 206(4)-7, including to review, evaluate and report to the Board on the operation of the Sub-Adviser Compliance Procedures, and shall promptly report to the Trust CCO and IM CCO any Material Compliance Matter arising under the Sub-Adviser Compliance Procedures involving the Managed Portion. The Sub-Adviser shall allow the Trust CCO and/or the IM CCO, as reasonably requested from time to time, access to examine and review the Sub-Adviser’s Compliance Procedures and the Sub-Adviser’s adherence thereto. The Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Trust CCO and IM CCO: (i) quarterly reports confirming the Sub-Adviser’s compliance with the Sub-Adviser Compliance Procedures in managing the Managed Portion; and (ii) certifications that there were no Material Compliance Matters involving the Sub-Adviser that arose under the Sub- Adviser Compliance Procedures that affected the Managed Portion. At least annually, the Sub-Adviser shall provide a certification to the Trust CCO and IM CCO to the effect that the Sub-Adviser has in place and has implemented policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Sub-Adviser with the Federal Securities Laws, including the conduct and results of our annual review for adequacy and effectiveness.

(f) The Sub-Adviser shall assist the Funds in the preparation of the Trust’s registration statement, the Prospectus and SAI, shareholder reports and other regulatory filings, or any amendment or supplement thereto (collectively, “Regulatory Filings”), and shall provide the Funds with disclosure for use in the Funds’ Regulatory Filings, including, without limitation, disclosure related to the Sub-Adviser’s investment management personnel, portfolio manager compensation, investment management strategies and techniques, and proxy voting policies. The Sub-Adviser shall provide such certifications regarding the Funds as the Trust’s officers may reasonably request for purposes of the preparation of any Regulatory Filings.

(g) The Sub-Adviser hereby agrees during the period hereinafter set forth to render the services and assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. The Sub- Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor, and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided and authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way, or in any way be deemed an agent of the Trust.

2. (a) Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Trust shall conduct its own business and affairs and shall bear the expenses and salaries necessary and incidental thereto including, but not in limitation of the foregoing, the costs incurred in: the maintenance of its existence as a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware; the maintenance of its own books, records, and procedures; dealing with its own shareholders; the payment of dividends; transfer of shares, including issuance and repurchase of shares; preparation of share certificates, if any; reports and notices to shareholders; calling and holding of shareholders’ meetings; miscellaneous office expenses; brokerage commissions; custodian fees; legal and accounting fees; taxes; and federal and state registration fees.

(b) Directors, officers and employees of the Sub-Adviser may be directors, officers and employees of other funds that have employed the Sub-Adviser as sub-adviser or investment manager. Directors, officers and employees of the Sub-Adviser who are Trustees, officers and/or employees of the Trust, shall not receive any compensation from the Trust for acting in such dual capacity.

(c) In the conduct of the respective business of the parties hereto and in the performance of this Agreement, the Trust, the Investment Manager, and the Sub-Adviser may share facilities common to each, which may include legal and accounting personnel, with appropriate proration of expenses between and among them.

3. (a) The Sub-Adviser will select brokers and dealers to effect all Fund transactions subject to the conditions set forth herein. The Sub-Adviser will place all necessary orders with brokers, dealers, or issuers, and will negotiate brokerage commissions, if applicable. The Sub-Adviser is directed at all times to seek to execute transactions for the Managed Portion (i) in accordance with any written policies, practices or procedures that may be established by the Board or the Investment Manager from time to time, and (ii) as described in the Fund’s Prospectus and SAI. In placing any orders for the purchase or sale of investments for the Fund, with respect to the Managed Portion, the Sub-Adviser shall use its best efforts to obtain for the Managed Portion “best execution,” considering all of the circumstances, and shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance with this requirement.

(b) Subject to the appropriate policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent authorized by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), cause the Managed Portion to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage or research services to the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser and the Managed Portion an amount of commission for effecting a Fund transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines, in good faith, that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of such brokerage or research services provided viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser’s overall responsibilities to the Fund or its other advisory clients for which the Investment Manager or the Sub- Adviser exercises investment discretion. To the extent authorized by Section 28(e) and the Board, the Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of such action. Subject to seeking best execution and compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, the Board or the Investment Manager may direct the Sub-Adviser to effect transactions in Fund securities through broker-dealers in a manner that will help generate resources to pay the cost of certain expenses that the Trust is required to pay or for which the Trust is required to arrange payment.

(c) Any entity or person associated with the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser that is a member of a national securities exchange is authorized to effect any transaction on such exchange for the account of the Fund to the extent and as permitted by Section 11(a)(1)(H) of the Exchange Act.

4. As compensation for the services to be rendered to the Trust for the benefit of the Funds by the Sub-Adviser under the provisions of this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall pay to the Sub-Adviser a fee for each Fund as provided in Schedule A attached hereto.

5. The services to be rendered by the Sub-Adviser to the Trust for the benefit of the Funds under the provisions of this Agreement are not to be deemed to be exclusive, and the Sub-Adviser shall be free to render similar or different services to others so long as its ability to render the services provided for in this Agreement shall not be impaired thereby.

6. (a) Subject to the limitation set forth in Paragraph 5, the Sub-Adviser, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and shareholders may engage in other businesses, may render investment advisory services to other investment companies, or to any other corporation, association, firm or individual, and may render underwriting services to the Trust or to any other investment company, corporation, association, firm or individual.

(b) Neither the Investment Manager, the Trust nor the Fund shall use the Sub-Adviser’s actual or fictitious name(s), xxxx, derivative and/or logo (or that of any affiliate of the Sub-Adviser, other than that of the Fund, the Trust, or any affiliate of the Investment Manager that is an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser solely by reason of the Sub-Adviser’s provision of services pursuant to this Agreement) or otherwise refer to the Sub-Adviser in any materials distributed to third parties, including the Fund’s shareholders, without prior review and written approval by the Sub-Adviser, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Investment Manager, the Trust and the Fund, shall, to the extent applicable and as soon as is reasonably possible, cease to use the Sub-Adviser's actual or fictitious name(s), xxxx, derivative and/or logo.

7. (a) In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties as Sub-Adviser to the Trust on behalf of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust, the Fund, the Investment Manager or any shareholder of the Trust for any action or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security, or otherwise. The Sub- Adviser makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, that any level of performance or investment results will be achieved by the Managed Portion or the Fund, or that the Managed Portion or the Fund will perform comparably with any standard or index, including other clients of Sub-Adviser, whether public or private.

(b) The Investment Manager shall indemnify the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates and its or their controlling persons, officers, directors, employees, agents, legal representatives and persons controlled by it (which shall not include the Trust or the Fund) (collectively, “Sub-Adviser Related Persons”) to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all loss, damage, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, (collectively “Losses”) incurred by the Sub-Adviser or Sub-Adviser Related Persons arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the performance by the Sub-Adviser or Sub-Adviser Related Persons of its or their duties hereunder so long as such Losses arise out of the Investment Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard in performing its responsibilities hereunder, including, without limitation, such Losses arising under any applicable law or that may be based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Trust’s Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof or any supplement thereto, or the omission to state therein a material fact that was known or that should have been known and was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reasonable reliance upon information furnished to the Investment Manager or the Trust by the Sub-Adviser or a Sub-Adviser Related Person specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, except to the extent any such Losses referred to in this paragraph (b) result from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard on the part of the Sub-Adviser or a Sub-Adviser Related Person in the performance of any of its duties under, or in connection with, this Agreement.

10. The Sub-Adviser represents, warrants and agrees that:

(a) The Sub-Adviser: (i) is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this Agreement remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act or other law, regulation or order from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) to the best of its knowledge, has met and will seek to continue to meet for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, any other applicable federal or state requirements, or the applicable requirements of any regulatory or industry self-regulatory agency necessary to be met in order to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) has the authority to enter into and perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) will promptly notify the Investment Manager of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Sub-Adviser from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise.

(c) The Sub-Adviser has provided the Trust and the Investment Manager with a copy of its Form ADV at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to execution of this Agreement, which as of the date of this Agreement is its Form ADV as most recently filed with the SEC and promptly will furnish a copy of all amendments to the Trust and the Investment Manager at least annually. Such amendments shall reflect all changes in the Sub-Adviser’s organizational structure, professional staff or other significant developments affecting the Sub-Adviser, as required by the Advisers Act.

(d) The Sub-Adviser will notify the Trust and the Investment Manager of any assignment of this Agreement or change of control of the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, and any changes in the key personnel who are the portfolio manager(s) of the Managed Portion prior to or promptly after such change. The Sub-Adviser agrees to bear all reasonable expenses of the Fund, if any, arising out of an assignment or change in control of the Sub-Adviser. In the event that there is a proposed change in control of the Sub-Adviser that would act to terminate this Agreement, and if a vote of shareholders to approve continuation of this Agreement is at that time deemed by counsel to the Trust to be required by the 1940 Act or any rule or regulation thereunder, the Sub-Adviser agrees to assume all reasonable costs associated with soliciting shareholders of the Fund to approve continuation of this Agreement. Such expenses include the costs of preparation and mailing of a proxy statement, and of soliciting proxies. In the event that such proposed change in control of the Sub-Adviser shall occur following either: (i) receipt by the Investment Manager and the Trust of an exemptive order issued by the SEC with respect to the appointment of sub-advisers absent shareholder approval, or (ii) the adoption of proposed Rule 15a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser agrees to assume all reasonable costs and expenses (including the costs of mailing) associated with the preparation of a statement, required by the exemptive order or Rule 15a-5, containing all information that would be included in a proxy statement (an “Information Statement”).
