I. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES

(a)

Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as investment adviser of the Fund and shall, subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Fund in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the Fund’s prospectuses and statements of additional information, as applicable (each a “Prospectus”) or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time (the “1940 Act”), and such other limitations as the Fund may impose by notice in writing to the Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Fund office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Fund; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all officers of the Trust, of all Trustees of the Trust who are “interested persons” of the Trust or of the Adviser and of all personnel of the Trust or the Adviser performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Fund, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Fund. The investment policies and all other actions of the Fund are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

(b)

Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Trust. The Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various services for the Fund, including but not limited to: (i) providing the Fund with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Fund, supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Trust’s existence and its records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Fund’s shares under federal and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fund as an investment vehicle.

The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Trust as the Trust’s Board of Trustees may request from time to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make recommendations to the Trust’s Board of Trustees with respect to Trust policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees. The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.

(c)

The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Fund’s account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Fund and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Fund to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The Adviser shall not be an agent of the Fund.

It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Adviser may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

It is understood that the Fund will pay all its expenses, which expenses payable by the Fund shall include, without limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust’s Trustees other than those who are “interested persons” of the Trust or the Adviser; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian and registrar fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the Trust and the Fund’s shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Fund; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Fund’s shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) its proportionate share of insurance premiums; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; and (xi) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is a party and the legal obligation which the Fund may have to indemnify the Trust’s Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

The services of the Adviser to the Fund are not to be deemed exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a material manner, with the Adviser’s ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering services to the Fund hereunder. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund for any act 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 other investment instrument.

(2)

any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC’s or FSC's, as applicable, willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from FIIOC’s or FSC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a result of FIIOC’s or FSC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FSC to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of FIIOC’s or FSC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.

FIIOC and FSC shall indemnify and hold the Trust harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than FIIOC and FSC, respectively, which names the Trust and/or FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, as a party and is based upon and arises out of FIIOC’s or FSC's, as applicable, willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties in connection with its performance hereunder.

The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable care to identify and promptly to notify the Indemnifying Party concerning any matter which presents, or appears likely to present, a claim for indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall have the election of defending the Indemnified Party against any claim which may be the subject of indemnification or of holding the Indemnified Party harmless hereunder. In the event the Indemnifying Party so elects, it will so notify the Indemnified Party and thereupon the Indemnifying Party shall take over defense of the claim and, if so requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall incur no further legal or other expenses related thereto for which it shall be entitled to indemnity or to being held harmless hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Indemnified Party from retaining counsel at its own expense to defend any claim. Except with the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent, the Indemnified Party shall in no event confess any claim or make any compromise in any matter in which the Indemnifying Party will be asked to indemnify or hold the Indemnified Party harmless hereunder.

11.

Acts of God, etc. FIIOC and FSC shall not be liable for delays or errors occurring by reason of circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, work stoppages, fire, flood, catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riot, or failure of communication equipment of common carriers or power supply. In the event of equipment breakdowns beyond its control, FIIOC and FSC, as applicable, shall, at no additional expense to any Trust, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions and mitigate their effects but shall have no liability with respect thereto. FIIOC and FSC shall enter into and shall maintain in effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provision for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment.

12.

Amendments to Obligations. The Trust shall regularly consult with each of FIIOC and FSC regarding their respective performance of their obligations. In connection therewith, the Trust shall submit to each of FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, at a reasonable time in advance of filing with the SEC copies of any amended or supplemented registration statements (including exhibits) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, a reasonable time in advance of their proposed use, copies of any amended or supplemented forms relating to any plan, program or service offered by the Trust. Any change in such material which would require any change in the obligations of FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, hereunder shall be subject to approval by FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

13.

Successor. In the event that the Trust designates a successor to any of the obligations of FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, hereunder, FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, shall, at the expense and direction of the Trust, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records and other data established or maintained by FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, hereunder (including in the case of FIIOC, a certified list of the shareholders of the Fund of the Trust with name, address, and, if provided, taxpayer identification or Social Security number, and a complete record of the account of each shareholder). To the extent that FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, incurs expenses related to a transfer of responsibilities to a successor, FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, including any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by FIIOC or FSC, as applicable, in connection with the transfer.

V. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO FMR, FIIOC AND FSC

Compensation. For the services and facilities to be furnished hereunder, the Adviser shall receive a monthly management fee, payable monthly by each class of the Fund as soon as practicable after the last day of each month, composed of a Basic Fee and a Performance Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 1, the Performance Adjustment is added to or subtracted from the Basic Fee depending on whether the Fund experienced better or worse performance than “an appropriate index” (the “Index”). The Performance Adjustment is not cumulative. An increased fee will result even though the performance of the Fund over some period of time shorter than the performance period has been behind that of the Index, and, conversely, a reduction in the fee will be made for a month even though the performance of the Fund over some period of time shorter than the performance period has been ahead of that of the Index. The Basic Fee for a class and the Performance Adjustment will be computed as follows:

(a)

Basic Fee Rate Calculation: The annual Basic Fee Rate for a class shall be calculated to the nearest millionth decimal place as follows:

(i)

Mandate Rate. The Mandate Rate shall be based upon the monthly average of the net assets of the funds in the Equity asset class, as indicated on Master Schedule A to Management Contracts, as may be updated from time to time, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract, (computed in the manner set forth in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month. The Mandate Rate may vary by class. The Mandate Rate shall be determined on a cumulative basis pursuant to the schedule set forth in Schedule 1 of this Contract.

(ii)

Discount Percentage. The Discount Percentage shall be based upon the monthly average of the net assets of all of the funds on Master Schedule A to Management Contracts (“Group Assets”), as may be updated from time to time, and the monthly average of the net assets of the Fund (computed in the manner set forth in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month. After determination of the average Group Assets tier bound level in Master Schedule B to Management Contracts, as may be updated from time to time, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract, the Discount Percentage shall be determined on a cumulative basis pursuant to the schedule set forth in Master Schedule B to Management Contracts.

(iii)

Discount Rate. A class’s Discount Rate shall be the class’s Mandate Rate multiplied by the Discount Percentage.

(iv)

Basic Fee Rate. The annual Basic Fee Rate for a class shall be the lesser of (1) the class’s Mandate Rate reduced by the class’s Discount Rate or (2) the Maximum Basic Fee Rate set forth in Schedule 2 of this Contract, if applicable.

(b)

Basic Fee. One-twelfth of the annual Basic Fee Rate for a class shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the class of the Fund (computed in the manner set forth in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month. The resulting dollar amount comprises the monthly Basic Fee for the class.

(c)

Performance Adjustment Rate: Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 1, the Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the Fund and the Index each being calculated to the nearest 0.01%) that the Fund’s investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance adjustment rate is 0.20%.

For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment of the Fund, the Fund’s investment performance will be based on the performance of Class I.

The performance period commenced on July 1, 2007. During the first eleven months of the performance period for the Fund, there will be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.

The Fund’s investment performance will be measured by comparing (i) the opening net asset value of one share of Class I of the Fund on the first business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset value of one share of Class I of the Fund as of the last business day of such period. In computing the investment performance of Class I of the Fund and the investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains, the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and dividends paid out of investment income on the part of Class I of the Fund, and all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to time may be amended.

(d)

Performance Adjustment. One-twelfth of the annual Performance Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the Fund (computed in the manner set forth in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month and the performance period. The resulting dollar amount is added to or deducted from the Basic Fee. The resulting dollar amount is allocated to the classes of the Fund based on the relative net assets of each class on each business day in the month, and a class's allocated amount is added to or deducted from a class's Basic Fee.

(e)

The Index shall be the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital International All Country (MSCI AC) World Index. Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission, the Trustees may designate an alternative appropriate index for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment (the “Successor Index”). For the 35 month period commencing on the first day of the month following such designation (or such other date as agreed by the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser) (the “Transition Period”), the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by comparing the Fund’s investment performance against the blended investment records of the Successor Index and the index used to calculate the Fund’s Performance Adjustment prior to the Transition Period (the “Prior Index”), such calculation being performed as follows:

For the first month of the Transition Period, the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by comparing the Fund’s investment performance over the 36 month performance period against a blended index investment record that reflects the investment record of the Prior Index for the first 35 months of the performance period and the investment record of the Successor Index for the 36th month of the performance period. For each subsequent month of the Transition Period, the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by comparing the Fund’s investment performance over the 36 month performance period against a blended index investment record that reflects one additional month of the Successor Index’s performance and one less month of the Prior Index’s performance. This calculation methodology shall continue until the expiration of the Transition Period, at which time the investment record of the Prior Index shall be eliminated from the Performance Adjustment calculation, and the calculation shall include only the investment record of the Successor Index.

(f)

In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number of business days during which it is in effect for that month. The Basic Fee Rate will be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged over that month ending on the last business day on which this Contract is in effect. The amount of this Performance Adjustment to the Basic Fee will be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged over the 36-month period ending on the last business day on which this Contract is in effect, provided that if this Contract has been in effect less than 36 months, the computation will be made on the basis of the period of time during which it has been in effect.

Term. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph 2, this Contract shall continue in force until May 31, 2024 and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

(b)

This Contract may be modified by mutual consent subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Commission or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases or no-action letters of, the Commission or its staff.

(c)

In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 2, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

(d)

The Trust may at any time on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to another party, terminate this Contract with respect to the services provided by that party without payment of any penalty, by action of its Trustees or with respect to the Fund by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. FMR may at any time on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Trust, terminate this Contract with respect to the services provided by FMR without payment of any penalty. Each of FIIOC and FSC may at any time on six months’ prior written notice to the Trust, terminate this Contract with respect to its services provided hereunder. This Contract shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment. Termination of this Contract with respect to services provided by a party shall not terminate this Contract with respect to services provided by the other parties.

Schedules to the Contract. Any schedule to this Contract may be amended or additional schedules may be included, as deemed necessary from time to time by agreement between the parties to this Contract. Each schedule and any amendments thereto shall be dated and signed by the parties to this Contract.

Confidentiality. The parties hereto agree that each shall treat confidentially all information provided by each party to the Contract to the other regarding its business and operations. All confidential information provided by parties to the Contract shall be used by the other parties to the Contract solely for the purpose of rendering services pursuant to this Contract and, except as may be required in carrying out this Contract, shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of such providing party. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Contract, or that is required to be disclosed by any examiner of FMR, FIIOC or FSC, any auditor of the parties to the Contract, by judicial or administrative process or otherwise by applicable law or regulation.

Notice is hereby given that this agreement is not executed on behalf of the Trustees of the Trust as individuals, and the obligations of this Contract are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Trust individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust’s Fund.

The terms “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “assignment,” and “interested persons,” when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, and subject to such orders or no-action letters as may be granted by the Commission or its staff.
