WHEREAS, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of October 1, 2025 (as amended from time to time, the “Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to certain series of Angel Oak Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust and an open-end management investment company (the “Trust”), which has filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and

WHEREAS, the Trust is comprised of several separate investment series, including Angel Oak Total Return ETF (the “Fund”); and

WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are each registered as investment advisers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement permits the Adviser to delegate certain of its investment advisory duties under the Advisory Agreement to one or more sub-advisers; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to avail itself of the services, information, advice, assistance and facilities of an investment adviser experienced in the management of a portfolio of securities to assist the Adviser in performing services for the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Sub-Adviser represents that it has the legal power and authority to perform the services contemplated hereunder without violation of applicable law, including the Advisers Act, and desires to provide such services to the Adviser; and

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Fund are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of the arrangements described herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, it is agreed as follows:

1.    Appointment of the Sub-Adviser. The Adviser hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser to provide a continuous discretionary investment program for that portion of the Fund designated by the Adviser as assigned to the Sub-Adviser (a “Segment” of the Fund), subject to such reasonable written instructions and supervision as the Adviser may from time to time furnish. The Sub-Adviser hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services and to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. The Sub-Adviser will provide the services under this Agreement with respect to the Segment in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions as stated in the 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 Sub-Adviser, 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 Sub-Adviser’s services hereunder and agrees that the Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser. The Adviser also agrees to provide the Sub-Adviser with information regarding cash requirements and cash available for investment in the Segment. For purposes of compliance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions, the Sub-Adviser shall be entitled to treat the Segment as though the Segment constituted the entire Fund, and the Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible in any way for the compliance of any assets of the Fund, other than those in the Segment, with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions.

The Sub-Adviser 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 Fund or the Trust in any way.

2.    Subadvisory Services. Subject to such reasonable written instructions and supervision as the Adviser shall from time to time furnish and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions as stated in the Fund’s most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser will exercise full discretion to implement such determinations through the placement, on behalf of the Fund, of orders for the execution of portfolio transactions through such brokers or dealers as it may select for ensuring best execution with respect to such orders. The Sub-Adviser shall initially determine and make such modifications to the identity and amount of the securities to be accepted in exchange for creation units of each Fund and the securities that will be applicable that day to redemption requests received by such Fund as may be determined by the Sub-Adviser in its management of the Segment. The Sub-Adviser may utilize the personnel of its affiliates to assist it with providing its services under this Agreement, provided that Sub-Adviser: 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.

In fulfilling its responsibilities hereunder, the Sub-Adviser agrees that it will, with respect to the Fund:

a.    act in a manner consistent with applicable national, federal and state laws and regulations in rendering the services it agrees to provide under this Agreement;

b.    comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the rules, regulations, exemptive orders and no-action positions thereunder, and all other applicable laws and regulations 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 Sub-Adviser and shall furnish such written reports or other documents substantiating such compliance as the Adviser reasonably may request from time to time;

c.    not make loans to any person to purchase or carry shares of beneficial interest in the Trust or make loans to the Trust;

d.    place orders pursuant to investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with an underwriter, market maker or broker or dealer. In placing orders, the Sub-Adviser will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to seek best execution of such orders, having regard to all factors it considers relevant. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser to place orders through one or more brokers or dealers and, thereafter, the Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of the Sub-Adviser as principal except as may be permitted by the 1940 Act or an exemption therefrom. If the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that the transaction is in the best interest of each client, securities may be purchased on behalf of the Fund from, or sold on behalf of the Fund to, another client of the Sub-Adviser, subject to the Trust’s policies and procedures (as provided to the Sub-Adviser from time to time) and applicable laws and regulations;

e.    maintain all necessary or appropriate records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions for the Segment in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act, and will furnish the Trust’s Board of Trustees and the Adviser such periodic and special reports as the Trust’s Board of Trustees and Adviser reasonably may request;

f.    treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Adviser and the Trust all records and other information relative to the Adviser and the Trust and prior, present, or potential shareholders, and will not use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except that the Sub-Adviser may divulge such information to its independent auditors and attorneys that are bound by similar obligations of confidentiality, and, subject to prompt notification to the Trust and the Adviser (if permitted by law), to regulatory authorities to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable laws, or when so requested by the Adviser and the Trust; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Sub-Adviser from (1) advertising or soliciting the public generally with respect to other products or services, regardless of whether such

advertisement or solicitation may include prior, present or potential shareholders of the Fund, (2) including the Adviser and Trust on its general list of disclosable clients or

(3) utilizing the track record generated by Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund;

g.    in conducting its fiduciary functions, Sub-Adviser will exercise independence with respect to investment decisions, in that it will not inquire or take into consideration whether the issuers of securities proposed for purchase or sale for the Fund’s account are customers of the Adviser, other sub-advisers, the Sub-Adviser or of their respective parents, subsidiaries or affiliates. If dealing with such customers of the Adviser or its other sub-advisers, if any, the Sub-Adviser and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not inquire or take into consideration whether securities of those customers are held by the Trust except if relevant to the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions;

h.    to the extent reasonably requested by the Trust, the Sub-Adviser will use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust in respect of Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act upon request including, without limitation, providing the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust with (i) copies of the compliance policies and procedures of the Sub-Adviser, (ii) a compliance report concerning the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program in connection with the annual review thereof by the Trust required under Rule 38a-1 and (iii) upon request, a certificate of the chief compliance officer of the Sub-Adviser to the effect that the policies and procedures of the Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Federal Securities Laws (as such term is defined in Rule 38a-1);

i.    vote all proxies for securities held in the Segment in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy and maintain records concerning how it has voted such proxies on behalf of the Fund, and those records shall be made available to the Trust upon request for use in connection with the preparation and filing of the Trust’s Form N-PX, provided that the Sub-Adviser will provide the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust annually with a summary of any material changes to the Sub-Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy and such reports as the Adviser or the Trust’s Board of Trustees may direct in instances where the Sub-Adviser votes counter to its Proxy Voting Policies. The Sub-Adviser may engage a third party for purposes of providing proxy advisory and/or voting services. The Sub-Adviser is not responsible for making any class action filings on behalf of the Fund or the Trust;

j.    render, upon the reasonable request of the Adviser or the Trust’s Board of Trustees, written reports concerning the investment activities of the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Sub-Adviser’s Segment of the Fund; and

k.    not consult with any other adviser to (i) the Fund, (ii) any other series of the Trust or (iii) any other investment company under common control with the Trust concerning transactions of the Fund in securities or other assets except for purposes of complying with applicable law or regulation. The Adviser shall provide a list of such investment companies to the Sub-Adviser to enable the Sub-Adviser’s compliance with this section, and shall update such list as necessary over time. This shall not be deemed to prohibit the Adviser from consulting with any of its affiliated persons concerning transactions in securities or other assets. The Adviser shall not be required to provide the Sub-Adviser with sales data for the Fund or for any other series of the Trust.

3.    Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in performing its services under this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for the following expenses of the Fund: (i) the fee payment under the Advisory Agreement as described in paragraph 7 of the Advisory Agreement, (ii) payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan (if any), (iii) interest expenses, (iv) dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, (v) taxes, (vi) acquired fund fees and expenses other than fees for funds advised by the Adviser and/or its affiliates, (vii) brokers’ commissions and any other transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions effected on behalf of the Fund, and (viii) litigation and potential litigation and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.

Subject to the foregoing, the Sub-Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including without limitation, all costs associated with attending or otherwise participating in regular or special meetings of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, or with the Adviser, as reasonably requested from time to time, and additions or modifications to the Sub-Adviser’s operations necessary to perform its services hereunder in compliance with this Agreement, any other procedures reasonably implemented by the Adviser or the Trust’s Board of Trustees and applicable law. The Sub-Adviser shall also be responsible for all costs associated with any proxy statements, information statements and/or other disclosure materials that are for the primary benefit of, or otherwise occur as a result of a significant event occurring with respect to, the Sub-Adviser such as a change in control (including, but not limited to, the legal fees associated with preparation, printing, filing and mailing thereof, as well as any shareholder meeting and/or solicitation costs, if applicable).

4.    Records. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records, if any, that it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Adviser or the Trust any such records upon the Adviser’s or the Trust’s request, provided that the Sub-Adviser may retain copies of such records if required, and for periods required, by applicable law or internal compliance policies, and that such records shall be available for inspection by the SEC.

5.    Compensation of the Sub-Adviser.

a.    In consideration of services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser, in arrears, an amount calculated at an annual rate equal to 0.18% of the net assets of the Segment of the Fund that is managed by the Sub-Adviser (“Net Assets Under Management”), paid quarterly; or formulaically:

Sub-Advisory Fee = 0.18% x the Net Assets Under Management

b.    Such fee for each calendar quarter shall be calculated based on the average daily Net Assets Under Management during the quarter just ended.

c.    If the Sub-Adviser should serve for less than the whole of any calendar quarter, its compensation shall be determined as provided above on the basis of the average daily net assets managed in the partial month in which the services occur and shall be payable on a pro rata basis for the period of the calendar quarter for which it has served as Sub-Adviser hereunder.

6.    Exclusivity. Except to the extent agreed to below by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the services of the Sub-Adviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Sub-Adviser shall be free to render similar services to others and to engage in other activities, so long as the services rendered hereunder are not materially impaired. It is understood that any action taken by the Sub-Adviser under this Agreement may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of any action taken with respect to other clients of the Sub-Adviser, and that a transaction in a specific security may not be accomplished for all clients of the Sub-Adviser at the same time or at the same price.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Sub-Adviser any obligation to make any trade, purchase or sale for the Fund regarding any security or option thereon which the Sub-Adviser may recommend to purchase or sell for its own account or for the account of any other client, nor shall anything in this Agreement be deemed to impose upon the Sub-Adviser any obligation to give the Fund the same advice as may be given to any other client. The Adviser acknowledges (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Trust and the Fund) that the Sub-Adviser and any of its members, managers, officers and/or directors, may from time to time have positions in or transact in securities and other investments recommended to clients, including the Fund. Such transactions may differ from or be inconsistent with the advice given, or the timing or nature of the Sub-Adviser’s action or actions with respect to the Fund. To the extent permitted by law and consistent with the Fund’s policies and procedures, the Sub-Adviser may aggregate the orders of the Fund with orders of its proprietary accounts and/or orders of other clients. Such aggregation may operate on some occasions to the advantage, and on other occasions to the disadvantage, of the Fund.

7.    Use of Names. Subject to the prior written confirmation of accuracy and completeness from the Sub-Adviser, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, the Adviser and the Trust are authorized to publish and distribute any information, including but not limited to registration statements, advertising or promotional material, regarding the provision of investment advisory services by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement and to use in advertising, publicity or otherwise the name of the Sub-Adviser, or any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or logo of the Sub-Adviser that the Sub-Adviser has provided to the Adviser for this purpose. In addition, the Adviser may distribute information regarding the provision of investment advisory services by the Sub-Adviser to the Trust’s Board of Trustees without the prior written consent of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall not use the name of the Trust, the Fund or the Adviser in any materials relating to the Sub-Adviser (except as otherwise provided for herein) in any manner not approved prior thereto by the Adviser; provided, however, that the Sub-Adviser may use such names to merely refer in accurate terms to the appointment of the Sub-Adviser hereunder, including placing the Trust’s or the Adviser’s name on the Sub-Adviser’s list of representative clients, or which are required by the SEC or a state securities commission. Any other use of names by the Sub-Adviser shall require approval in advance by the Adviser which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

Absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser (and its affiliated companies and their respective officers, directors and employees) shall not be liable for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses suffered by the Adviser, the Fund, or the Trust in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Adviser nor the Trust shall be deemed to have waived any rights it may have against the Sub-Adviser under federal or state securities laws. The Adviser and the Trust understand and agree that the Sub-Adviser does not represent and cannot guarantee performance results for the Fund.

The Sub-Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser (and its affiliated companies and their respective officers, directors and employees) from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other related expenses) directly arising out of or in connection with any claim or demand by any person that is based upon the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under this Agreement.
