INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT BLACKROCK FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

(a)

Subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and TAM, the Subadviser shall regularly provide the Fund with respect to such portion of the Fund’s assets as shall be allocated to the Subadviser by TAM from time to time (the “Allocated Assets”) with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Allocated Assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and subject to such other restrictions and limitations as directed by the officers of TAM or the Trust by reasonable advance notice in writing to the Subadviser. The Subadviser shall, with respect to the Allocated Assets, determine from time to time what securities and other investments and instruments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the Allocated Assets will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions (including the execution of investment documentation and agreements, including, without limitation, the power to execute swap, futures, options and other agreements, including collateral agreements, with counterparties, and to open and close accounts in connection therewith, on the Fund’s behalf as the Subadviser deems appropriate from time to time in order to carry out its responsibilities hereunder, provided that TAM shall have the right to review and approve such documentation and agreements prior to their execution or amendment as may be agreed to by the parties from time to time), all subject to the provisions of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws as disclosed to the Subadviser (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the 1940 Act and the applicable rules

and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund referred to above, any written instructions and directions of the Board or TAM provided to the Subadviser from time to time, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Subadviser. The Subadviser’s responsibility for providing investment research, advice, management and supervision to the Fund is limited to that discrete portion of the Fund represented by the Allocated Assets and the Subadviser is prohibited from directly or indirectly consulting with any other Subadviser for a portion of the Fund’s assets concerning Fund transactions in securities or other assets except as permitted by applicable law. The Subadviser is authorized as the agent of the Trust to give instructions with respect to the Allocated Assets to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of the Fund in one or more investment companies.

Subject to any other written instructions of the Board and/or TAM, The Fund does hereby delegate to the Sub-Adviser all of its powers, duties and responsibilities with regard to such investment and reinvestment and hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser as its agent in fact with full authority to buy, sell or otherwise effect investment transactions involving the assets in its name and for the Fund’s account, including without limitation, the power to execute swap, futures, options and other agreements with counterparties on the Fund’s behalf as the Sub-Adviser deems appropriate from time to time in order to carry out the Sub-Adviser’s responsibilities hereunder; provided that, the Subadviser’s actions in negotiating such documents shall comply with federal regulations, all other federal laws applicable to registered investment advisers and the Subadviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Governing Documents.

(b)

The Subadviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio 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 amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Subadviser and its affiliates

have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict the Subadviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided herein.

(c)

The Fund hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with the Subadviser which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 1l(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 1la2-2(T) thereunder, and the Fund hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2- 2(T)(a)(2)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subadviser agrees that it will not deal with itself, or with Trustees of the Trust or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of the Fund, nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Subadviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between the Fund and another account advised by the Subadviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by the Fund from time to time and provided to the Subadviser, and will comply with all other provisions of the Governing Documents and the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relative to the Subadviser and its directors and officers.

(d)

Unless TAM advises the Subadviser in writing that the right to vote proxies has been expressly reserved to TAM or the Trust or otherwise delegated to another party, the Subadviser shall exercise voting rights incident to any security purchased with, or comprising a portion of, the Allocated Assets, in accordance with the Subadviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures without consultation with TAM or the Fund. The Subadviser agrees to furnish a copy of its proxy voting policies and procedures, and any amendments thereto, to TAM.

(e)

The Subadviser will provide the Adviser with reasonable assistance in connection with the Adviser’s obligation to fair value certain securities in the Fund. In addition, the Subadviser agrees to consult with TAM in the event of a pricing problem and to participate in the Trust’s Valuation Committee meetings.

(f)

The Adviser acknowledges and agrees that the Subadviser shall have no power, authority, obligation or responsibility for filing claims on behalf of the Adviser, the Trust or the Fund or for providing advice with respect to any class action, bankruptcy proceeding or any other action or proceeding (the “Litigation”) in which the Fund or the Trust may be entitled to participate as a result of its securities holdings. The Subadviser’s responsibility with respect thereto shall be limited to providing any and all documentation or information relating to the Litigation as may reasonably be requested by the Adviser. The Adviser acknowledges that the Subadviser is not the official record keeper with respect to the managed assets.

          During the term of this Agreement, the Adviser agrees to furnish the Subadviser at its principal office all proxy statements, reports to shareholders, sales literature or other materials prepared for distribution to shareholders of the Fund, prior to the use thereof, and the Adviser shall not use any such materials if the Subadviser reasonably objects in writing within five business days (or such other period as may be mutually agreed) after receipt thereof. The Subadviser’s right to object to such materials is limited to the portions of such materials that expressly relate to the Subadviser’s service marks and other indicia of source, and its clients. The Adviser agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that materials prepared by its employees or agents or its affiliates that refer to the Subadviser or its clients in any way are consistent with those materials previously approved by the Subadviser as referenced in the first sentence of this paragraph. Sales literature may be furnished to the Subadviser by e-mail, first class or overnight mail, facsimile transmission equipment or hand delivery. It is understood that “BlackRock” is the name of the Subadviser’s parent company, BlackRock, Inc., and any derivative names or logos associated with such name are the valuable property of the Subadviser, and that the Trust has the right to include such phrase as a part of the name of the Fund or for any other purpose only so long as this Agreement shall continue. Upon termination of this Agreement the Trust shall forthwith prospectively cease to use such phrase and logos with respect to the Fund.
