B. Subadviser Undertakings.

The Subadviser hereby agrees to:
(i) regularly report to the Board and the Adviser (in such form and frequency as the Adviser and Subadviser mutually agree) with respect to the implementation of the investment program, compliance of the Subadviser Assets with the Offering Memorandum, the 1940 Act and the Code, and on other topics as may reasonably be requested by the Board or the Adviser, including attendance at Board meetings, as reasonably requested, to present such reports to the Board;

(iii) provide, subject to any obligations or undertakings reasonably necessary to maintain the confidentiality of the Subadviser’s non-public information, any and all information, records and supporting documentation about the composite of accounts and the funds the Subadviser manages that have investment objectives, policies, and strategies substantially similar to those employed by the Subadviser in managing the Subadviser Assets which may be reasonably necessary, under applicable laws, to allow the Trust or its agent to present historical performance information concerning the Subadviser’s similarly managed accounts and funds, for inclusion in the Trust’s Offering Memorandum and any other reports and materials prepared by the Trust or its agent, in accordance with regulatory requirements or as requested by applicable federal or state regulatory authorities;
(iv) provide reasonable assistance to the Adviser with respect to the Subadviser Assets in connection with the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements, including, but not limited to: (i) providing broker contacts as needed for obtaining trade confirmations; (ii) providing assistance in obtaining trade confirmations in the event the Fund or the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to obtain such confirmations directly from the underlying hedge fund managers or their administrators and (iii) obtaining market quotations for investments that are not readily ascertainable in the event the Fund or the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to obtain such market quotations through independent means.
C. Expenses. The Subadviser will bear all of its expenses in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement. All other expenses to be incurred in the operation of the Fund will be borne by the Trust, except to the extent specifically assumed by the Subadviser. The expenses to be borne by the Trust include, without limitation, the following: organizational costs, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and commissions, Trustees’ fees, Securities and Exchange Commission fees and state Blue Sky qualification fees, advisory fees, charges of custodians, transfer and dividend disbursing agents’ fees, certain insurance premiums, industry association fees, outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of independent pricing services, costs of maintaining existence, costs attributable to investor services (including, without limitation, telephone and personnel expenses), costs of preparing and printing prospectuses and statements of additional information for regulatory purposes and for distribution to existing stockholders, costs of stockholders’ reports and meetings, and any extraordinary expenses. The Sub-Adviser shall bear the reasonable out of pocket expenses and costs of the Trust (including reasonable attorney’s fees), if any, arising out of a termination of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement as a result of an assignment caused by a change of control or management of the Sub-Advisor, including the preparation and mailing of an information statement to shareholders pursuant to a “manager-of-managers” exemptive order from the SEC, or the preparation, mailing, solicitation and other costs associated with the use of a proxy statement relating to a shareholder vote in respect of a new sub-advisory agreement. The foregoing obligations of the Sub-Adviser shall apply when the Sub-Adviser, in consultation with its internal or outside counsel, deems that an assignment of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement has or will occur, and Adviser, in consultation with internal or outside counsel to the Trust, determines that an information statement should be used, or a vote of shareholders should be obtained, as the case may be.
D. Aggregation of Orders. On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Subadviser Assets as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser may to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the orders for securities to be purchased or sold. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to its other clients. The Adviser recognizes that, in some cases, the Subadviser’s allocation procedure may limit the size of the position that may be acquired or sold for the Subadviser Assets. It is understood that the allocation of investment opportunities by the Subadviser among its clients is subject to variances that may arise due to differences in capital inflow/outflows, legal, contractual, tax and other good faith reasons.
E. Books and Records. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Subadviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Subadviser Assets of the Fund are the property of the Trust and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust copies of any of such records upon the Fund’s or the Adviser’s request, provided, however, that Subadviser may retain copies of any records to the extent required for it to comply with applicable laws. The Subadviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records relating to its activities hereunder required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and to preserve the records relating to its activities hereunder required by Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act for the period specified in said Rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subadviser has no responsibility for the maintenance of the records of the Fund, except for those related to the Subadviser Assets.
G. Subadviser Compliance Responsibilities. The Subadviser and the Adviser acknowledge that the Subadviser is not the compliance agent for the Fund, and does not have access to all of the Trust’s books and records necessary to perform certain compliance testing. However, to the extent that the Subadviser has agreed to perform the services specified in this Agreement, the Subadviser shall perform compliance testing with respect to the Subadviser Assets based upon information in its possession and upon information and written instructions received from the Adviser or the Trust’s Administrator and shall not be held in breach of this Agreement so long as it performs in accordance with such information and instructions. Specifically, the Subadviser shall not be responsible for the Fund being in violation of any applicable law or regulation or investment policy or restriction applicable to the Fund as a whole or for the Fund’s failure to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code if the securities and other holdings of the Subadviser Assets would not be in such violation or failing to so qualify if the Subadviser Assets were deemed a separate series of the Trust or a separate regulated investment company under the Code. The Adviser or Trust’s Administrator shall promptly provide the Subadviser with copies of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, current Prospectus and any written policies or procedures adopted by the Board applicable to the Subadviser Assets and any amendments or revisions thereto. Subadviser shall supply such reports or other documentation as reasonably requested from time to time by the Adviser to evidence Subadviser’s compliance with such Prospectus, policies or procedures.
H. Proxy voting. The Subadviser shall use its good faith judgment in a manner which it reasonably believes best serves the interests of the Fund’s shareholders to vote or abstain from voting all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in the Subadviser Assets. The Adviser shall cause to be forwarded to Subadviser all proxy solicitation materials that Adviser receives. Subadviser agrees that it has adopted written proxy voting procedures that comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The Subadviser further agrees that it will provide the Board as the Board may reasonably request, with a written report of the proxies voted during the most recent 12-month period or such other period as the Board may designate, in a format that shall comply with the 1940 Act. Upon reasonable request, Subadviser shall provide the Advisor with all proxy voting records relating to the Subadviser Assets, including but not limited to those required by Form NPX. Subadviser will also provide an annual certification, in a form reasonably acceptable to Adviser, attesting to the accuracy and completeness of such proxy voting records.

The Subadviser shall not use the name, logo, insignia, or other identifying xxxx of the Trust or the Adviser or any of their affiliates or any derivative or logo or trade or service xxxx thereof, or disclose information related to the business of the Adviser or any of its affiliates in material relating to the Subadviser in any manner not approved prior thereto by the Adviser; provided, however, that the Adviser shall approve all uses of its or the Trust’s name and of their affiliates which merely identify in accurate terms the appointment of the Subadviser hereunder or which are required by the SEC or a state securities commission; and provided, further, that in no event shall such approval be unreasonably withheld.

Such fees will be computed daily and paid monthly, calculated at an annual rate based on the Subadviser Assets’ average daily net assets as determined by the Trust’s accounting agent. Compensation for any partial period shall be pro-rated based on the length of the period.
