Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement, as follows:

Add the following as a new sub-paragraph c) in Section 3. “Management” after the heading entitled “The Sub-Adviser further agrees that it”, and re-number all sub-paragraphs alphabetically thereafter:

c)     will provide reasonable assistance to the Adviser in connection with the foreign laws, regulations and regulatory requirements as set forth by foreign regulatory agencies, as may be applicable to the Adviser and Funds and will comply with the foreign laws, regulations and regulatory requirements as set forth by foreign regulatory agencies directly applicable to the Sub-Adviser's investment activities in such foreign markets.

After renumbering the sub-sections as referenced above, delete sub-paragraph e) in Section 3. “Management” after the heading entitled “The Sub-Adviser further agrees that it” in its entirety and replace it with the following:

e)     will provide to the Adviser (i) a monthly compliance checklist developed for each Fund by Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and (ii) quarterly reports developed for each Fund by Adviser and Sub-Adviser; (iii) other compliance and reporting information as reasonably requested by the Adviser or the Board of Trustees from time-to-time;

Delete Section 12. “Duration and Termination” in its entirety, and replace it with the following:

12.           Duration and Termination.  The Agreement will become effective as to a Fund upon execution or, if later, on the date that initial capital for such Fund is first provided to it and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in effect for two years from the effective date of the initial Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with regard to all Fund(s) covered by this Agreement. Thereafter, if not terminated as to a Fund, this Agreement will continue from year to year through June 30th of each successive year following the initial two year period, for each Fund covered by this Agreement, as listed on Schedule A, provided that such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by the Trust’s Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund(s), and in either event approved also by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust, or of the Adviser, or of the Sub-Adviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated as to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on sixty days’ written notice by the Trust or Adviser, or on sixty days’ written notice by the Sub-Adviser.  This Agreement will immediately terminate in the event of its assignment.  (As used in this Agreement, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities”, “interested persons” and “assignment” have the same meaning of such terms as in the 1940 Act.)  Section 10 and 11 herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Delete Section 15. “Confidential Treatment” in its entirety, and replace it with the following:

15.           Confidential Treatment.  All information and advice furnished by one party to the other party (including their respective agents, employees, and representatives and the agents, employees, and representatives of any affiliates) hereunder shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties, except as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, subpoenas, court orders, and as required in the administration and management of the Funds. It is understood that any information or recommendation supplied by, or produced by, Sub-Adviser in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder is to be regarded as confidential and for use only by the Adviser and the Trust.  Furthermore, except as required by law (including, but not limited to semi-annual, annual or other filings made under the 0000 Xxx) or as agreed to by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and Trust will not disclose any list of securities purchased or sold by the Funds for a period of 30 days after month end, or any list of securities held by the Fund for 30 days after month end in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, and except that the top 10 holdings may be disclosed 30 days after month end.

This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute one document.

In Witness Whereof, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser have caused this Amendment to be executed as of this 20th day of June 2013, effective May 30, 2013.
