XXXX XXXXXXX FUNDS
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 31st day of December, 2005, among Xxxx Xxxxxxx
Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Adviser"), Sovereign
Asset Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sub-adviser"),
and each of the trusts that is a signatory hereto (each, a "Trust" and together,
as applicable, the "Trusts"). In consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF SUB-ADVISER
The Sub-adviser undertakes to act as investment sub-adviser to each of
the Trusts and the series thereof (each a "Fund"), in each case listed on
Appendix A to this Agreement, as such Appendix may be amended by the affected
Trust(s), the Adviser and the Sub-adviser from time to time, and, subject to the
supervision and control of the Trustees of each Trust and the terms of this
Agreement, to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds.
The Sub-adviser will be an independent contractor and will have no authority to
act for or represent any Trust, any Fund or the Adviser in any way except as
expressly authorized in this Agreement or another writing by the applicable
Trust or the Adviser. The Sub-adviser and the Adviser are currently affiliates
under the common control of Manulife Financial Corporation.
2. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY THE SUB-ADVISER TO THE TRUSTS AND THE FUNDS
a. Subject always to the direction and control of the Trustees of each Trust,
the Sub-adviser shall have investment discretion over the assets of each
Fund and will manage the investments and determine the composition of
these assets in accordance with the applicable Trust's registration
statement, as amended. In fulfilling its obligations to manage the
investments and reinvestments of the assets of each Fund, the Sub-adviser
will:
i. obtain and evaluate pertinent economic, statistical, financial
and other information affecting the economy generally and
individual companies or industries the securities of which are
included in a Fund's portfolio or are under consideration for
inclusion in a Fund's portfolio;
ii. formulate and implement a continuous investment program for
each Fund that is consistent with the investment objectives
and related investment policies for such Fund as described in
the applicable Trust's registration statement, as amended,
copies of which shall be furnished to the Sub-adviser promptly
upon amendment;
iii. take whatever steps are necessary to implement these
investment programs by the purchase and sale of securities,
including the placing of orders for such purchases and sales;
1
iv. regularly report to the Trustees of each Trust and to the
Adviser with respect to the implementation of these investment
programs; and
v. provide assistance to each Trust's custodian regarding the
fair value of securities held by each Fund for which market
quotations are not readily available.
b. The Sub-adviser, at its expense, will furnish all necessary investment and
management facilities, including salaries of personnel required for it to
execute its duties faithfully.
c. The Sub-adviser will select brokers and dealers to effect all transactions
subject to the following conditions: 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 brokerage transactions for each Fund in
accordance with such policies or practices as may be established by the
Trustees and described in the applicable Trust's registration statement,
as amended, and consistent with its fiduciary obligation to seek best
execution. Subject to policies established from time to time by the Board
of Trustees of the Trusts, the Sub-adviser may pay a broker-dealer which
provides research and brokerage services a higher spread or commission for
a particular transaction than otherwise might have been charged by another
broker-dealer if the Sub-adviser determines that the higher spread or
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services that such broker-dealer provides, viewed in terms of
either the particular transaction or the Sub-adviser's overall
responsibilities with respect to accounts managed by the Sub-adviser. The
Sub-adviser may use for the benefit of the Sub-adviser's other clients, or
make available to companies affiliated with the Sub-adviser or to its
directors for the benefit of their clients, any such brokerage and
research services that the Sub-adviser obtains from brokers or dealers.
d. On occasions when the Sub-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 Sub-
adviser, the Sub-adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the
securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to obtain a more favorable
price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such
event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the
expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-adviser in
the manner the Sub-adviser considers to be the most equitable and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to each Fund and to its other
clients.
e. The Sub-adviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with respect
to each Fund as are required of an investment sub-adviser of a registered
investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Investment Company Act") and Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act") and the rules thereunder.
f. The Sub-adviser shall vote proxies relating to each Fund's investment
securities in accordance with the applicable Trust's proxy voting policies
and procedures, which provide that the Sub-adviser shall vote all proxies
relating to securities held by a Fund and, subject to the applicable
2
Trust's policies and procedures, shall use proxy voting policies and
procedures adopted by the Sub-adviser in conformance with Rule 206(4)-6
under the Investment Advisers Act. The Sub-adviser shall review its proxy
voting activities on a periodic basis with the Trustees and with the
Adviser.
3. COMPENSATION OF SUB-ADVISER
The Adviser will pay the Sub-adviser with respect to each Fund the
compensation specified in Appendix A to this Agreement.
4. LIABILITY OF SUB-ADVISER
Neither the Sub-adviser nor any of its directors, officers or employees
shall be liable to the Adviser or any Trust or Fund for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Adviser, Trust or Fund in
connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except for losses
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of, or from the reckless disregard of, the duties of the Sub-adviser
or any of its directors.
5. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
It is understood that trustees, officers, agents, members and shareholders
of the Trusts are or may be interested in the Sub-adviser as trustees, officers,
partners, shareholders, members or otherwise; that employees, agents,
shareholders, members and partners of the Sub-adviser are or may be interested
in a Trust as trustees, officers, shareholders, members or otherwise; that the
Subadviser may be interested in the Trusts; and that the existence of any such
dual interest shall not affect the validity hereof or of any transactions
hereunder, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and Declaration of
Trust of the applicable Trust and the limited liability company agreement of the
Sub-adviser, respectively, or by specific provision of applicable law.
6. REGULATION
The Sub-adviser shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in
providing the services contemplated hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Sub-adviser shall provide all information reasonably requested of it by the
Board of Trustees of the Trusts in accordance with its duty to do so under
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act and the Sub-adviser shall submit to
all regulatory and administrative bodies having jurisdiction over the services
provided pursuant to this Agreement any information, reports or other material
which any such body, by reason of this Agreement, may request or require
pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
7. DURATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Fund on the
later of its execution, (ii) the date of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the applicable Trust, at which meeting this Agreement is approved as described
below and (iii) immediately following the close of business on December 31,
2005. The Agreement will continue in effect with respect to a Fund for a period
more than two years from its effective date only so long as such continuance is
3
specifically approved at least annually either by the Trustees of the applicable
Trust or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable
Fund, provided that in either event such continuance shall also be approved by
the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the applicable Trust who are not
interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of any party to
this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval. Any required shareholder approval of the Agreement or of any
continuance of the Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Fund if a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the series (as defined in Rule
18f-2(h) under the Investment Company Act) of shares of that Fund votes to
approve the Agreement or its continuance, notwithstanding that the Agreement or
its continuance may not have been approved by a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of any other Fund affected by the Agreement.
If any required shareholder approval of this Agreement or any continuance
of the Agreement is not obtained, the Sub-adviser will continue to act as
investment sub-adviser with respect to such Fund pending the required approval
of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract with the Sub-adviser or
a different adviser or sub-adviser or other definitive action; provided, that
the compensation received by the Sub-adviser in respect of such Fund during such
period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act.
This Agreement may be terminated at anytime, without the payment of any
penalty, as to a Fund by the Trustees of the applicable Trust or by the vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, on sixty
days' written notice to the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, or by the Adviser or
Sub-adviser on sixty days' written notice to the applicable Trust and the other
party. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without the payment of any
penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company
Act) or in the event the advisory agreement between the Adviser and the
applicable Trust terminates for any reason.
8. PROVISION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY SUB-ADVISER
The Sub-adviser will promptly notify the Adviser and the Trusts in writing
of the occurrence of any of the following events:
a. the Sub-adviser fails to be registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act or under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the
Sub-adviser is required to be registered as an investment adviser in order
to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
b. the Sub-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 any Trust;
and
c. any change in actual control or management of the Sub-adviser or the
portfolio manager of any Fund.
9. SERVICES TO OTHER CLIENTS
The Adviser understands, and has advised each Trust's Board of Trustees,
that the Sub-adviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an investment
4
adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts and as investment adviser or
sub-adviser to other investment companies. Further, the Adviser understands, and
has advised each Trust's Board of Trustees, that the Sub-adviser and its
affiliates may give advice and take action for other accounts, including
investment companies, which differs from advice given or the timing or nature of
action taken for a Fund. The Sub-adviser is not obligated to initiate
transactions for a Fund in any security that the Sub-adviser, its partners,
affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for their own accounts or other
clients.
10. CONSULTATION WITH OTHER SUB-ADVISERS
As required by Rule 17a-10 under the Investment Company Act, the Sub-
adviser is prohibited from consulting with the entities listed below concerning
transactions for a Fund in securities or other assets:
1. other sub-advisers to the Fund
2. other sub-advisers to any other Fund
3. other sub-advisers to a Fund under common control with such Fund
provided, however, the Sub-adviser may consult with any entity listed above that
is an affiliate of the Sub-adviser.
11. ONGOING RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADVISER.
The Adviser understands, and has advised the Trustees of the Trusts, that
during the term of this Agreement the Adviser shall retain responsibility for
(i) providing the services set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement to the
Trusts in the event the Sub-adviser fails, for whatever reason, to provide such
services and (ii) ensuring that the services provided by the Sub-adviser to the
Trusts pursuant to this Agreement are rendered in a manner such that the nature
and quality of such services are at least comparable to the nature and quality
of the investment advisory services heretofore rendered to the Trusts by the
Adviser. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or terminate the
Adviser's responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement, which obligations,
including the indemnification provisions thereof, shall remain in full force and
effect.
12. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT
This Agreement (with the exception of Appendix A, which may be amended by
the Adviser and the Sub-adviser from time to time) may be amended by the parties
hereto only if such amendment is specifically approved by the vote of a majority
of the Trustees of each affected Trust and by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees of each affected Trust who are not interested persons of any party to
this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting ort
such approval. Any required shareholder approval shall be effective with respect
to any Fund if a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund
votes to approve the amendment, notwithstanding that the amendment may not have
been approved by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of (a) any
other Fund affected by the amendment or (b) all the Funds of the applicable
Trust. No amendment shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by all
parties hereto.

convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof.

16. SEVERABILITY
Should any portion of this Agreement for any reason be held to be void in
law or in equity, this Agreement shall be construed, insofar as is possible, as
if such portion had never been contained herein.
17. GOVERNING LAW
The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any of the
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act. To the extent that the laws
of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any of the provisions in this
Agreement, conflict with applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act,
the latter shall control.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Trust, a copy of which,
together with all amendments thereto (the "Declaration"), is on file in the
office of the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides that the
name of the applicable Trust refers to the Trustees under the Declaration
collectively as Trustees, but not as individuals or personally; and no Trustee,
shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be held to any
personal liability, nor shall resort be had to their private property, for the
satisfaction of any obligation or claim, in connection with the affairs of the
Trust or any Fund thereof, but only the assets belonging to the Trust, or to the
particular Fund with respect to which such obligation or claim arose, shall be
liable.
19. CONFIDENTIALITY OF FUND HOLDINGS
The Sub-adviser agrees to treat the portfolio security positions of each
Fund as confidential information in accordance with the applicable Trust's
"Policy Regarding Disclosure of Fund Holdings," as such policy may be amended
from time to time, and to prohibit its employees from trading on any such
6
confidential information. The policy and any such amendment shall not be binding
upon the Sub-adviser until a copy has been provided to the Sub-adviser.
20. COMPLIANCE
Upon execution of this Agreement, the Sub-adviser shall provide the
Adviser and the Trusts with the Sub-adviser's written policies and procedures
("Compliance Policies") as required by Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment
Advisers Act. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Sub-adviser shall
promptly submit to the affected Trust and the Adviser: (i) any material changes
to the Compliance Policies, (ii) notification of the commencement of any
regulatory examination of the Sub-adviser and documentation describing the
results of any such examination and of any periodic testing of the Compliance
Policies, and (iii) notification of any material compliance matter that relates
to the services provided by the Sub-adviser to any Trust, including but not
limited to any material violation of the Compliance Policies or of the Sub-
adviser's code of ethics. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Sub-adviser
shall provide the Adviser and the Trust with any certifications, information and
access to personnel and resources (including those resources that will permit
testing of the Compliance Policies by the Adviser) that the Trust and/or the
Adviser may reasonably request to enable the Trusts to comply with Rule 38a-1
under the Investment Company Act.

APPENDIX A
The Sub-adviser shall serve as investment sub-adviser for each Fund listed
below. The Adviser will pay the Sub-adviser, as full compensation for all
services provided under this Agreement with respect to each Fund, the fee
computed separately for such Fund at an annual rate as follows (the "Sub-adviser
Fee"):
TRUST AND FUND PERCENTAGE OF
AVERAGE DAILY NET
ASSETS
(See attachment to Appendix A)
The Sub-adviser Fee for each Fund shall be accrued for each calendar day,
and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Sub-adviser
WITHIN 30 CALENDAR DAYS OF THE END OF EACH MONTH. 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 Sub-adviser Fee, and multiplying this product by the
net assets of the Fund. THE ADVISER SHALL PROVIDE THE SUB-ADVISER WITH SUCH
INFORMATION AS THE SUB-ADVISER MAY REASONABLY REQUEST SUPPORTING THE CALCULATION
OF THE FEES PAID TO IT HEREUNDER. FEES SHALL BE PAID EITHER BY WIRE TRANSFER OR
CHECK, AS DIRECTED BY THE SUB-ADVISER.
If, with respect to any Fund, this Agreement becomes effective or
terminates, or if the manner of determining the applicable Sub-adviser Fee
changes, 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 or from the beginning of such month to the date of such
change, as the case may be, shall be pro rated according to the proportion which
such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination
or change occurs.
