Term; Termination; Amendment As to each Fund, this Agreement shall become effective and shall run for an initial period as specified for each Fund in Schedule A hereto. This Agreement shall continue in force from year to year thereafter with respect to each Fund, but only as long as such continuance is specifically approved for each Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if the continuation of this Agreement is not approved for each Fund, Sub-Adviser may continue to serve in such capacity for each Fund in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by either party on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other.

This Agreement may be terminated with respect to each Fund at any time without the payment of any penalty by Manager or the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that Sub-Adviser or any officer or director of Sub-Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of the covenants of Sub-Adviser set forth herein. The terms “assignment” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of Sub-Adviser to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation described in Section 4 earned prior to such termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event the Management Agreement between Manager and the Trust is terminated, assigned or not renewed.

In addition, each party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the other party of that other party's material breach of this Agreement. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given and to be effective on the date on which it was either delivered personally to the other party or any officer or member thereof, or was mailed postpaid or delivered to a telegraph office for transmission to the other party's designated person at the addresses shown herein or in the most recent NASD Manual.
