e. | With respect to any one or more of the Portfolios, the Adviser may elect to manage the investments and determine the composition of the assets of the Portfolios, subject to the approval of the Trustees of the Trust. In the event of such election, the Adviser, subject always to the direction and control of the Trustees of the Trust, will manage the investments and determine the composition of the assets of the Portfolios in accordance with the Trust’s registration statement, as amended.

APPENDIX A
ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULE
The Adviser shall serve as investment adviser for each Portfolio of the Trust listed below.
The Trust will pay the Adviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement
with respect to each Portfolio, the fee computed separately for such Portfolio at an annual rate as
follows (the “Adviser Fee”).
The term Aggregate Net Assets in the chart below includes the net assets of a Portfolio of the
Trust. It also includes with respect to certain Portfolios as indicated in the chart the net
assets of one or more other portfolios, but in each case only for the period during which the
subadviser for the Portfolio also serves as the subadviser for the other portfolio(s) and only with
respect to the net assets of such other portfolio(s) that are managed by the subadviser.
For purposes of determining Aggregate Net Assets and calculating the Adviser Fee, the net
assets of the Portfolio and each other fund of the Trust are determined as of the close of business
on the previous business day of the Trust, and the net assets of each portfolio of each other fund
are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of that fund.
The Adviser Fee for a Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the
Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying
the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets divided
by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”). The Adviser Fee for each Portfolio
shall be accrued and paid daily to the Adviser for each calendar day. 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 Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Portfolio. Fees
shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser.
If, with respect to any Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the
manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate 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 prorated according to the proportion which such period bears
to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.

The Adviser Fee for a Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the
Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying
the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Total Return Net Assets
divided by (ii) Total Return Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”). The Adviser Fee for

accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in
the year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the
Portfolio. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser.
If, with respect to any Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the
manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate 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

The term “Aggregate Net Assets of Absolute Return Funds” in the schedule above includes the
net assets of the Absolute Return Trust. The term also includes the net assets of the Absolute
Return Fund, but only for the period during which the subadviser for the Absolute Return Trust also
serves as the subadviser for the Absolute Return Fund and only with respect to the net assets of
the Absolute Return Fund that are managed by the subadviser.
For purposes of determining Aggregate Net Assets of the Absolute Return Funds and calculating
the fee on Affiliated Fund Assets and the fee on Other Assets, the net assets of the Absolute
Return Trust are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust
and the net assets of the Absolute Return Fund are determined as of the close of business on the
previous business day of Xxxx Xxxxxxx Funds II. Affiliated Fund Assets and Other Assets are
determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust.
The fee on Affiliated Fund Assets for the Absolute Return Trust shall be based on the
applicable annual Affiliated Funds fee rate for the Absolute Return Trust which for each day shall
be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the
Affiliated Funds Fee Table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets of Absolute Return
Funds divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets of Absolute Return Funds (the “Applicable Annual
Affiliated Funds Fee Rate”).
The fee on Other Assets for the Absolute Return Trust shall be based on the applicable annual
Other Assets fee rate for the Absolute Return Trust which for each day shall be equal to (i) the
sum of the amounts determined by
21
applying the annual percentage rates in the Fee Table for Other Assets to the applicable
portions of Aggregate Net Assets of Absolute Return Funds divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets of
Absolute Return Funds (the “Applicable Annual Other Assets Fee Rate”).
The fee on Affiliated Fund Assets for the Absolute Return Trust shall be accrued and paid
daily to the Adviser for each calendar day. 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 Annual
Affiliated Funds Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the Affiliated Fund Assets of the
Absolute Return Trust. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the
Adviser.
The fee on Other Assets for the Absolute Return Trust shall be accrued and paid daily to the
Adviser for each calendar day. 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 Annual Other Assets Fee Rate,
and multiplying this product by the Other Assets of the Absolute Return Trust. Fees shall be paid
either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser.
The daily Adviser Fee for the Absolute Return Trust shall be the sum of the daily fee on
Affiliated Fund Assets and the daily fee on Other Assets.
If, with respect to the Absolute Return Trust, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates,
or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Affiliated Funds Fee Rate or the Applicable
Annual Other Assets Fee Rate 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 such change, as the case may be, shall
be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such
effectiveness or termination or change occurs.
