instructions and supervision as the Adviser may from time to time furnish. The Subadviser hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services and to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. The
Subadviser will provide the services under this Agreement with respect to each Segment in accordance with the respective Fund’s investment objective, policies
and applicable restrictions as stated in such Fund’s most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information which will be provided by the Adviser and as the same may, from time to time, be supplemented or amended and in resolutions of
the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Adviser agrees to furnish to the Subadviser, from time to time, copies of all Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and of all amendments of, or supplements to, such Prospectuses and Statements
of Additional Information and of all resolutions of the Trust’s Board of Trustees applicable to the Subadviser’s services hereunder and agrees that the Subadviser shall not be responsible for complying with such documents and/or instructions
unless and until such documents and/or instructions have been provided to the Subadviser. The Subadviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as expressly provided or authorized (whether
herein or otherwise), have no authority to act for or represent the Adviser, the Funds or the Trust in any way.
2. Subadvisory Services. Subject to such written instructions and supervision as the Adviser shall from time to time furnish and consistent
with a Fund’s investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions as stated in such Fund’s most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Subadviser will provide an investment program for the Segment, including
investment research and management with respect to securities and investments, including cash and cash equivalents in the Segment, with full discretion to determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased,
retained or sold by and within the Segment. The Subadviser will exercise full discretion to implement such determinations through the placement, on behalf of each Fund, of orders for the execution of portfolio transactions through such brokers
or dealers as it may select. The Subadviser may utilize the personnel of its affiliates to assist it with providing its services under this Agreement, provided that Subadviser: will remain solely responsible for the provision of services under
this Agreement; will supervise the personnel of its affiliates and subject them to its Code of Ethics; and represents that it will satisfy the conditions adopted by the SEC staff with respect to utilizing personnel of affiliates.
ln fulfilling its responsibilities hereunder, the Subadviser agrees that it will, with respect to each Fund:

provide under this Agreement;
|
b. |
conform with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and, in addition, will conduct its activities under this Agreement in accordance with any
applicable regulations of any government authority pertaining to the investment advisory activities of the Subadviser and shall furnish such written reports or other documents substantiating such compliance as the Adviser reasonably
may request from time to time;

factors it considers relevant. Consistent with this obligation, the Subadviser may, to the extent permitted by law, effect portfolio securities transactions through brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services
(within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to or for the benefit of the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Subadviser exercises investment discretion. Subject to the review of the Trust’s
Board of Trustees from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of the policy, the Subadviser is authorized to cause the Fund to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission
for effecting a securities 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 Subadviser determines in good faith that such
commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Subadviser
with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Trust or the Adviser may, from time to time in writing, direct the Subadviser to place orders through one or more brokers or dealers and, thereafter,
the Subadviser will have no responsibility for ensuring best execution with respect to such orders. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Subadviser or any affiliated person of the Subadviser as
principal except as may be permitted by the 1940 Act or an exemption therefrom. If the Subadviser determines in good faith that the transaction is in the best interest of each client, securities may be purchased on behalf of the

is not impaired by its provision of investment advisory services to such other fund(s).
|
b. |
Except as expressly agreed to in this Section, the Adviser understands and acknowledges that the Subadviser provides similar services to others and that
nothing in this Agreement requires the Subadviser to devote its full time and attention to the services under this Agreement nor limits or restricts its right to engage in or devote time and attention to providing similar services
to others.
