communicate to the Sub-Adviser, the investment objective, policies and
restrictions of the Trust applicable to the Fund furnished pursuant to Section 5
of this Agreement and other instructions communicated to the Sub-Adviser by the
Adviser. In so doing, the Sub-Adviser shall manage the Fund Account subject to
the investment limitations of the 1940 Act as if the Fund Account were a
separate registered investment company, unless otherwise instructed by the
Adviser or the Trust. The Sub-Adviser is not authorized by the Trust to take any
action, including the purchase or sale of securities for the Fund Account, in
contravention of any restriction, limitation, policy or instruction described in
the previous sentence. The Sub-Adviser, or its affiliate, shall maintain on

reasonable request, the Sub-Adviser will consult with the Trust or with the
Adviser with respect to any decision made by it with respect to the investments
of the Fund Account.
The Sub-Adviser is authorized on behalf of the Fund to (i) enter into agreements
and execute any documents (e.g., any derivatives documentation such as exchange
traded and over-the-counter, as applicable) required to meet the obligations of
the Fund with respect to any investments made for the Fund Account which shall
include any market and/or industry standard documentation and the standard
representations contained therein; and (ii) acknowledge the receipt of brokers'

obligations of the Fund with respect to any investments made for the Fund
Account. The Sub-Adviser shall not have the authority to cause the Trust to
deliver securities and other property, or pay cash to the Sub-Adviser other than
payment of the management fee provided for in this Agreement.
The Sub-Adviser may delegate portfolio management and administrative duties to
its affiliates and may share such information as necessary to accomplish these
purposes. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser will have the ability to delegate
back-office non-investment advisory services to State Street Investment Manager
Solutions, LLC. In all cases, the Sub-Adviser shall remain liable as if such
services were provided directly. No additional fees shall be imposed for such
services except as otherwise agreed.
In-Kind Securities will be assigned to the Fund Account in accordance with
Schedule A, and Schedule A is hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
5. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS. The Trust will provide the
Sub-Adviser with the statement of investment objective, policies and
restrictions applicable to the Fund Account as contained in the Fund's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, all amendments or
supplements to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and any
instructions adopted by the Board of Trustees supplemental thereto. The Trust
agrees, on an ongoing basis, to notify the Sub-Adviser in advance in writing of
each change in the fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies of the
Fund and will provide the Sub-Adviser with such further information concerning
the investment objective, policies, restrictions and such other information
applicable thereto as the Sub-Adviser may from time to time reasonably request
for performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Trust retains the
right, on prior written notice to the Sub-Adviser or the Adviser, to modify any
such objective, policies or restrictions in accordance with applicable laws, at
any time.
6. TRANSACTION PROCEDURES. All transactions will be consummated by payment to or
delivery by the custodian designated by the Trust (the "CUSTODIAN"), or such
depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in writing, of all
cash and/or securities due to or from the Fund Account, and the Sub-Adviser
shall not have possession or custody thereof. The Sub-Adviser shall advise the
Custodian and confirm in writing to the Trust and to the administrator
designated by the Trust or any other designated agent of the Trust, all
investment orders for the Fund Account placed by it with brokers and dealers.
The Trust shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as may be appropriate
in connection with the settlement of any transaction initiated by the
Sub-Adviser. The Trust shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements and
the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and, the Sub-Adviser shall have
no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial arrangements or the
acts, omissions or other conduct
A-2
of the Custodian. Upon reasonable request by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser will
provide reports of failed trades, of which Sub-Adviser is aware, in the Fund
Account.
7. ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE. The Sub-Adviser shall have authority and discretion
to select brokers and dealers (including brokers that may be affiliates of the
Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by Section 7(c) hereof) to execute portfolio
transactions initiated by the Sub-Adviser, and for the selection of the markets
on or in which the transactions will be executed, subject to conformance with
the policies and procedures disclosed in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information and the policies and procedures adopted by the Trust's
Board of Trustees.
a. In executing portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser will give primary
consideration to securing best execution. Consistent with this policy, the
Sub-Adviser may consider the financial responsibility, research and investment
information and other services provided by brokers or dealers who may effect or
be a party to any such transaction or other transactions to which other clients
of the Sub-Adviser may be a party. It is understood that neither the Trust, the
Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser has adopted a formula for allocation of the Fund's
investment transaction business. It is also understood that it may be desirable
for the Fund that the Sub-Adviser have access to supplemental investment and
market research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers
who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher commission to the Fund than
may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking
the lowest commission. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place orders
for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund with certain brokers,
subject to review by the Trust's Board of Trustees from time to time with
respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that
the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Sub-Adviser in
connection with its services to other clients of the Sub-Adviser.
b. On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a
security to be in the best interest of the Fund Account as well as other clients
of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws
and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the
securities or other instruments to be sold or purchased in order to obtain best
execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or other instruments so
purchased or sold, as well as expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made
by the Sub-Adviser in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Trust in respect of the Fund
and to such other clients.
c. The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not execute any portfolio
transactions for the Fund Account with a broker or dealer which is (i) an
affiliated person of the Trust, the Adviser or any sub-adviser for any Fund of
the Trust; (ii) a principal underwriter of the Trust's shares; or (iii) an
affiliated person of such an affiliated person or principal underwriter, unless
such transactions are (x) exempt under Rules 10f-3(b) or 17a-10, (y) executed in
accordance with Rule 17e-1 of the 1940 Act and the Trust's Rule 17e-1
procedures, as adopted in accordance with Rule 17e-1 or (z) executed in
accordance with Rule 10f-3(c) of the 1940 and the Trust's Rule 10f-3(c)
procedures, as adopted in accordance with Rule 10f-3. The Adviser agrees that it
will provide the Sub-Adviser with a list of such affiliated brokers and dealers
and that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable to the extent that it executes a
portfolio transaction for the Fund Account with a person not listed on the
current list then in the Sub-Adviser's possession.
d. The Sub-Adviser acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the
exemptions provided under Rules 10f-3(b), 12d3-1, and 17a-10 under the 1940 Act,
the Sub-Adviser (i) will not consult with any other sub-adviser of the Fund,
which is advising the Fund, concerning the Sub-Adviser or its affiliated
persons' transactions with the Fund in securities or other assets of the Fund,
and (ii) will be limited to providing investment advice to the Fund with respect
to the Fund Account.
8. PROXIES. The Sub-Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect
to issuers of securities in which assets of the Fund Account may be invested
from time to time. At the request of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser shall provide
the Sub-Adviser with its recommendations as to the voting of such proxies.
9. REPORTS TO THE SUB-ADVISER. The Trust will provide the Sub-Adviser with such
periodic reports concerning the status of the Fund Account as the Sub-Adviser
may reasonably request. Further, Sub-Adviser shall maintain all accounts, books
and records with respect to the Fund Account as are required of a sub-advisor of
a registered investment company pursuant the 1940 Act and Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 (the "Investment Advisers Act"),
A-3
and the rules thereunder. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3
under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records that it
maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund and agrees to preserve for
the periods described by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records that it
maintains for the Fund and that are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1
under the 1940 Act.
10. FEES FOR SERVICES. The compensation of the Sub-Adviser for its services
under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Trust in accordance
with the attached Schedule B.
11. OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The Trust acknowledges that
the Sub-Adviser or one or more of its affiliated persons may have investment
responsibilities or render investment advice to or perform other investment
advisory services for other individuals or entities and that the Sub-Adviser,
its affiliated persons or any of its or their directors, officers, members,
agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for its or their
own respective accounts ("AFFILIATED ACCOUNTS"). Subject to the provisions of
Section 7(b) hereof, the Trust agrees that the Sub-Adviser or its affiliated
persons may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such
other action with respect to other Affiliated Accounts which may differ from the
advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Fund
Account, provided that the Sub-Adviser acts in good faith, and provided further,
that it is the Sub-Adviser's policy to allocate, within its reasonable
discretion, investment opportunities to the Fund Account over a period of time
on a fair and equitable basis relative to the Affiliated Accounts, taking into
account the investment objective and policies of the Fund Account and any
specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Trust acknowledges that
one or more of the Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase,
decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which
the Fund Account may have an interest from time to time, whether in transactions
which involve the Fund Account or otherwise. The Sub-Adviser shall have no
obligation to acquire for the Fund Account a position in any investment which
any Affiliated Account may acquire, and the Fund shall have no first refusal,
co-investment or other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the
Fund Account or otherwise.
12. CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY. The Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser shall
furnish to each other from time to time certified copies of the resolutions of
their Boards of Trustees/Directors/Members or executive committees, as the case
may be, evidencing the authority of officers and employees who are authorized to
act on behalf of the Trust, a Fund Account, the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any action
taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable judgment, in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, or in accordance with (or in the
absence of) specific directions or instructions from the Trust or the Adviser,
provided, however, that such acts or omissions shall not have resulted from the
Sub-Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or a reckless
disregard of duty. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed in a manner
inconsistent with Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act. The Sub-Adviser shall have no
responsibility under this agreement with respect to the management of assets of
the Fund other than the Fund Account.
14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Subject to the duty of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and the
Trust to comply with applicable law, including any demand or request of any
regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto shall
treat as confidential all material non-public information pertaining to the Fund
Account and the actions of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and the Trust in respect
thereof.
15. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment. The Sub-Adviser shall notify the Trust and the Adviser in writing
sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of control within the meaning of
the 1940 Act to enable the Trust and the Adviser to take the steps necessary to
enter into a new contract with the Sub-Adviser.

records to duly constituted authorities.

of securities on behalf of the Fund Account as the Adviser or the Trust may from
time to time reasonably require to assure compliance with the 1940 Act, the
Internal Revenue Code, applicable state securities laws and applicable statutes

SCHEDULE A
IN-KIND SECURITIES
The Adviser desires to assign to the Fund Account certain "in-kind" securities
(the "In-Kind Securities"). A certified list of the In-Kind Securities to be
assigned to the Fund Account will be provided to the Sub-Adviser by the
Custodian.
The Adviser and the Trust acknowledge and agree that some or all of the In-Kind
Securities may have value for the Fund Account and it may be in the Fund's best
interest to retain them, but in order to conform to the strategy of the Fund
Account, some or all of such assets may be liquidated at such times and in such
manner as is deemed appropriate by the Sub-Adviser and the proceeds be invested
in compliance with the investment objectives of the Fund.
The Adviser and the Trust acknowledge and agree that the Sub-Adviser will use
its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain best execution. The Sub-Adviser
will not be liable to the Adviser, the Trust or the Fund for the prices obtained
in connection with any sale of the In-Kind Securities and the Adviser and the
Trust acknowledge that such prices may in fact be much lower than the prices at
which such In-Kind Securities are presently carried in the Fund's portfolio. The
Sub-Adviser shall maintain a log of all transactions placed through all
securities brokerage firms including the name of the firm, a description of each
transaction, the date of each transaction and the amount or commissions paid.
The Sub-Adviser shall invest the proceeds from the sale of the assets, together
with any assets remaining unsold, in accordance with the investment objectives
of the Fund as mutually established by the Sub-Adviser, the Trust and the
Adviser. In the event any in-kind assets assigned into the Fund Account are not
consistent with the strategy of the Fund Account, the Adviser and the Trust
acknowledge and agree that the Sub-Adviser can continue to hold such assets in
the Fund Account without regard to the Fund Account's strategy.
SCHEDULE B
FEE SCHEDULE
For the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the attached
Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Fund shall pay the Sub-Adviser an annual fee
calculated as follows:
0.2875% on all Fund Account assets*
The fee shall be calculated and paid monthly in arrears based on the
average daily net asset value of the Fund Account as reported on the Custodian's
statement at the end of the billing period..
Fees shall be prorated on a daily basis when the Fund Account is managed by
the Sub-Adviser for a portion of any quarter, except that in the event this
agreement is terminated in the first three months, no proration shall be made
for the first three months' fees.
The Fund Account is comprised of all funds and assets, including cash, cash
accruals, additions, substitutions and alterations which are allocated to the
Sub-Adviser.
*This fee is based on a custom portfolio (85% Global Real Return and 15% EM
Local Bonds) comprised of two differently priced strategies. The following table
