14.	Duration, Resignation and Termination

14.1

This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the Fund as of the Effective Date. Unless terminated as herein provided, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for two years from the Effective Date. Subsequent to such initial period of effectiveness, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for periods of one year thereafter with respect to the Fund so long as such continuance with respect to the Fund is approved at least annually (a) by either the Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, and (b) in either event, by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

14.2

This Agreement may be terminated without penalty at any time by either party giving not less than 60 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter notice as the parties may agree) of termination to the other party, to be effective on such date specified in the notice. If the Subadvisory Agreement provides for a shorter or longer termination notice period, the Subadviser shall be able to terminate this Agreement on such shorter or longer notice as is set out in the Subadvisory Agreement. This Agreement also may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of the Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the parties, or such shorter notice period as the Adviser, the Trust and the Sub-Subadviser may agree. In the event this Agreement terminates, the Subadvisory Agreement and any sub-subadvisory agreements between the Subadviser and its delegates shall terminate automatically.

14.3

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 14.2, this Agreement shall terminate automatically (i) if the Sub-Subadviser ceases to be licensed and regulated by the JFSC, ceases to be registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Advisers Act or ceases to be registered with the CFTC as a commodity trading advisor, (ii) upon the termination for whatever reason of the Subadvisory Agreement or (iii) in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).

Termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the completion of transactions already initiated. In accordance with and subject to the Subadvisory Agreement, such transactions will be completed by the Sub-Subadviser as soon as practicable and in an orderly fashion in accordance with the Subadvisory Agreement. Following notification of termination of appointment under this Agreement, the Sub-Subadviser shall not enter into any transaction without the prior consent of the Subadviser, except to close out positions as required under this Clause in accordance with the Subadvisory Agreement and to return the Portfolio to cash or near cash in accordance with and subject to the Subadvisory Agreement.

14.6

The Subadviser shall use reasonable efforts to procure that the Adviser and/or the Fund, as applicable, shall promptly satisfy all obligations arising in respect of transactions properly effected by the Sub-Subadviser on the Adviser’s and/or the Fund’s behalf, as applicable, prior to such termination (including, if applicable, any obligation to pay or provide margin or other collateral). For the avoidance of doubt, the Subadviser shall use reasonable efforts to procure that the Adviser and/or the Fund will, if so required by the Sub-Subadviser, retain in the Portfolio cash or cash equivalent instruments to meet the aggregate of such obligations.

14.7	Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Clause 14 the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate and be of no future effect, except that Clauses 13, 17, 27, 28 and 29 and this Clause 14 shall remain in full force and effect.

15.	Conflicts of Interest

15.1

The services of the Sub-Subadviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive. The Subadviser acknowledges that: (i) any Systematica Person may from time to time act as investment manager, manager, investment adviser or dealer in relation to, or be otherwise involved in, investment funds, vehicles or accounts other than the Fund (including investment funds, vehicles or accounts in which only Systematica Persons may invest or vehicles which are indirectly invested in, or exposed to, the Fund (and for which the Sub-Subadviser will earn management fees and may earn performance fees)) which have similar or different objectives to those of the Fund (“Relevant Vehicles”); (ii) the Systematica Persons, or other investment professionals, involved in advising, sponsoring or managing Relevant Vehicles may, or may not, provide similar services to, or fulfil similar roles in respect of, the Fund; (iii) Relevant Vehicles may produce investment results that are substantially different from those of the Fund; and (iv) any Systematica Person may (subject to Applicable Law and the Subadvisory Agreement) use information, intellectual property and investment strategies which it obtains, produces, creates, develops or utilises in the performance of services to the Fund in relation to Relevant Vehicles, as they may determine in their sole discretion. It is, therefore, possible that any of them may, in the course of

business, have potential conflicts of interest with the Fund and, in particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) to the extent that the Fund invests in similar markets and Investments at or about the same time, Relevant Vehicles may compete with the Fund with respect to Investments and (ii) the potential fees payable to the Subadviser and/or its Associates by any Relevant Vehicle might in certain circumstances exceed the potential fees payable to them by or in respect of the Fund. Each Systematica Person will, at all times, have regard in such event to its obligations to the Fund.

15.2	The Sub-Subadviser is subject to a conflicts of interest policy which specifies the procedures that it follows and the measures that it has adopted in order to avoid such conflicts or to manage and/or disclose such conflicts in a way that ensures fair treatment for its clients.

Systematica Persons may allocate resources as they in their sole discretion consider appropriate in managing the assets of the Fund and any Relevant Vehicles in accordance with their respective investment objectives and approaches.

15.4

Subject always to Applicable Law and the Subadvisory Agreement, the Sub-Subadviser will not and will procure that each Associate of the Sub-Subadviser will not deal, as principal or agent for a third party, with the Fund or the Subadviser except where dealings are in compliance with the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act and carried out as if effected on normal commercial terms negotiated on an arm’s length basis and provided also that:

(A)

any Systematica Person may buy, hold and deal in any Investments upon its individual account notwithstanding that similar Investments may be held by the Fund; and

(B)

nothing herein contained shall prevent any Systematica Person from contracting or entering into any financial or other transaction with any member of the Fund, the Adviser or the Subadviser or with any company or body any of whose shares or securities are held by or for the account of the Fund or from being interested in any such contract or transaction.

15.5	For the avoidance of doubt, any Systematica Person may invest in the Fund through the direct or indirect acquisition of any equity interest (howsoever referred to) in the Fund.

15.6	The parties hereto acknowledge that:

(A)

partners, directors, officers, agents, members and shareholders of the Subadviser, SILP and/or the Fund are or may be interested in any Systematica Person as partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders or otherwise, and that partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents of any Systematica Person are or may be interested in the Subadviser, SILP and/or the Fund as partners, directors, officers, agents, shareholders, members or otherwise; and

(B)

no person so interested shall be liable to account for any benefit to the other party by reason solely of such interest.

16.	No Licence

16.1	The Subadviser and the Sub-Subadviser each acknowledges for the benefit of the other that:

(A)

no provision of this Agreement grants either of them any rights, except as contained herein, in any intellectual property belonging to or developed by any of the parties or their Associates; and

this Agreement does not constitute a licence in respect of any such intellectual property.

(A)

the disclosure of which by it to the Fund, the Adviser or the Subadviser would or might be a breach of duty or confidence to any other person; or

(B)

which came to the notice of a partner, member, director, officer, employee or agent of the Sub-Subadviser or any of its Associates, but does not come to the actual notice of the individual making the decision or taking the step in question.

17.2

1.1

The Sub-Subadviser shall reasonably co-operate with the Adviser’s (or its designees’) personnel responsible for monitoring the Fund’s compliance and will conform to, and comply with, the requirements of the 1940 Act, provided that the Sub-Subadviser shall not be responsible for the Fund’s compliance with such laws and regulations where compliance is required by parties other than the Sub-Subadviser and/or the Subadviser. In connection therewith, the Sub-Subadviser shall, among other things, prepare and file (or assist the Subadviser with the preparation and filing of, as applicable) such reports as are, or may in the future be, required by the SEC and are required to be filed by the Sub-Subadviser and/or the Subadviser (and not the Fund or the Adviser).

1.2

The Sub-Subadviser shall maintain all books and records with respect to the Fund’s portfolio transactions effected by it as and to the extent required of the Sub-Subadviser and/or the Subadviser by Rules 31a-l under the 1940 Act and under the CEA and the regulations thereunder (where such records are not otherwise kept by the Fund, the Adviser or such other Fund service provider), and shall render (or assist the Subadviser in rendering, as applicable) to the Trust’s Board of Trustees, such periodic and special reports as the Trustees may reasonably request. The Sub-Subadviser shall make reasonably available its employees and officers for consultation with any of the Trustees or officers or employees of the Trust with respect to any matter discussed herein, including, without limitation, the valuation of the Fund’s securities.

1.3

The Sub-Subadviser acknowledges that the Adviser and the Fund intend to rely on Rule 17a-l0, Rule l0f-3 and Rule 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act, and the Sub-Subadviser hereby agrees that it shall not consult with a subadviser other than the Subadviser or with any other subadviser (non-affiliated with the Subadviser) to the Trust with respect to transactions in securities for the Fund’s portfolio or any other transactions of Trust assets.

1.4

The Sub-Subadviser shall keep the Fund’s books and records required to be maintained by the Sub-Subadviser pursuant to paragraph 1.2 of this Schedule 1 and shall timely furnish (or assist the Subadviser in furnishing) to the Adviser all information relating to the Sub-Subadviser’s services hereunder reasonably needed by the Adviser to keep the other books and records of the Fund required by Rule 31a-I under the 1940 Act or any successor regulation. The Sub-Subadviser agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund, and the Sub-Subadviser will tender (or will assist the Subadviser in tendering) promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Trust’s request, provided, however, that the Sub-Subadviser may retain a copy of such records. The Sub-Subadviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 of the SEC under the 1940 Act or any successor regulation any such records as are required to be maintained by it pursuant to paragraph 1.2 of this Schedule 1.

1.5

In connection with its duties under this Agreement, the Sub-Subadviser agrees to establish compliance procedures reasonably calculated to ensure compliance at all times with all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, and any rules and regulations adopted thereunder applicable to the Sub-Subadviser’s services provided hereunder; and agrees to comply at all times with applicable provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; the CEA and the regulations thereunder; the applicable provisions of the Registration Statement; the applicable provisions of the Declaration and the By-Laws of the Trust, in each case to the extent relevant to the Subadviser’s obligations hereunder, and as the same may be amended from time to time and provided to the Subadviser in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof; and any other applicable provisions of state, federal or foreign law.

1.6	The Sub-Subadviser shall maintain a written code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that it reasonably believes complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act.

1.7

The Sub-Subadviser shall assist the Subadviser to certify quarterly to the Adviser that the Sub-Subadviser, to the extent it is one of the “Advisory Persons” (as defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act) of the Subadviser, has complied materially with the requirements of the Code of Ethics during the previous quarter or, if not, explain what the Sub-Subadviser has done to address any such violation. Annually, the Sub-Subadviser shall assist the Subadviser to furnish a written report, which complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1, concerning, among others, the Code of Ethics, to the Adviser.

1.8

Without prejudice to Clause 28 of this Agreement, any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Schedule 1 or in Clauses 13.2 or 13.4 having a counterpart or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the 1940 Act, shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the 1940 Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States courts or, in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the SEC issued pursuant to the 1940 Act. In addition, where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act, reflected in any provision of this Schedule 1 or in Clauses 13.2 or 13.4, is related by rules, regulation or order of the SEC, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.
