MICRO CAP GROWTH FUND
TOUCHSTONE STRATEGIC TRUST
This Agreement is entered into and is effective as of November 16, 2007 by and
between Touchstone Advisors, Inc. ("Touchstone") and Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Associates
("Bjurman").
WHEREAS, Touchstone and Bjurman entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement
dated as of June 21, 2004 (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to the
Micro Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Touchstone Strategic Trust; and
WHEREAS, Touchstone and Bjurman wish to enter into this Addendum to the
Sub-Advisory Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Section 3a of the Sub-Advisory Agreement will be replaced with the
following:
As compensation for the services to be rendered and duties
undertaken hereunder by the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor will pay to the
Sub-Advisor a monthly fee equal on an annual basis to 0.55% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund without regard to any total
expense limitation of the Trust or the Advisor. Such fee shall be
computed and accrued daily. If the Sub-Advisor serves in such
capacity for less than the whole of any period specified in this
Section 3a, the compensation to the Sub-Advisor shall be prorated.
For purposes of calculating the Sub-Advisor's fee, the daily value
of the Fund Assets shall be computed by the same method as the Trust
uses to compute the net asset value of the Fund for purposes of
purchases and redemptions of shares thereof.
2. Except for the provisions of this Addendum, the Sub-Advisory
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and be binding
upon the parties notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this
Addendum.
3. This Addendum shall be binding upon the parties and, to the extent
permitted by the Sub-Advisory Agreement, their respective successors
and assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Addendum to be
duly executed and delivered in its name and on its behalf by their respective
officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above
written.
