The Subadviser hereby accepts such employment and agrees to provide such services for the consideration herein provided, all subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. DUTIES OF THE SUBADVISER

(a) Subject to the direction and control of the Adviser and the oversight of the Board, the Subadviser shall make decisions with respect to all purchases and sales of securities and other investment assets in each Fund. To carry out such decisions, the Subadviser is hereby authorized, as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Trust, for the account of, at the risk of and in the name of the Trust, to place orders and issue instructions with respect to those transactions of each Fund. In all purchases, sales and other transactions in securities for a Fund, the Subadviser is authorized to exercise full discretion and act for the Trust in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Trust might or could do with respect to such purchases, sales or other transactions, as well as with respect to all other things necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such purchases, sales or other transactions.

(b) Upon request, the Subadviser will report to the Board (either directly or through the Adviser) all changes in each Fund since the prior report, and will keep the Board informed (either directly or through the Adviser) of important developments affecting the Trust, each Fund and the Subadviser, and on its own initiative, will furnish the Board

(either directly or through the Adviser) from time to time with such information as the Subadviser may believe appropriate for this purpose, whether concerning the individual companies whose securities are included in a Fund’s holdings, the industries in which it engages, or the economic, social or political conditions prevailing in each country in which a Fund maintains investments. The Subadviser will also furnish the Board (either directly or through the Adviser) with such statistical and analytical information with respect to securities in each Fund as the Subadviser may believe appropriate or as the Adviser or the Board reasonably may request. In making purchases and sales of securities for a Fund the Subadviser will comply with the policies set from time to time by the Board as well as the limitations imposed by the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, as amended from time to time (the “Declaration of Trust”), and Registration Statement under the Act and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the limitations in the Act and in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in respect of regulated investment companies, and the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund.

(c) The Subadviser shall maintain records for each Fund relating to portfolio transactions and the placing and allocation of brokerage orders as are required to be maintained by the Trust under the Act. The Subadviser shall prepare and maintain, or cause to be prepared and maintained, in such form, for such periods and in such locations as may be required by applicable law, all documents and records relating to the services provided by the Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement required to be prepared and maintained by the Subadviser or the Trust pursuant to the rules and regulations of any national, state, or local government entity with jurisdiction over the Subadviser or the Trust, including the Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. The books and records pertaining to the Trust that are in possession of the Subadviser shall be the property of the Trust. The Trust, or the Trust’s authorized representatives, shall have access to such books and records at all times during the Subadviser’s normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Trust, copies of any such books and records shall be provided promptly by the Subadviser (either directly or through the Adviser) to the Trust or its authorized representatives.

(d) The Subadviser acknowledges and agrees that the Adviser is ultimately responsible for providing to each Fund the services required of it under the Management Contract. Accordingly, the Subadviser shall discharge its duties and responsibilities specified in this Section 2 and elsewhere in this Agreement subject at all times to the direction, control and oversight of the Adviser. In furtherance thereof, the Subadviser shall, without limitation, (i) make its offices available to representatives of the Adviser for on-site inspections and consultations with the officers and applicable portfolio managers of the Subadviser responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, (ii) upon request, provide the Adviser with copies of all records it maintains regarding its management of each Fund and (iii) report to the Adviser each calendar quarter and at such other times as the Adviser may reasonably request regarding (A) the Subadviser’s implementation of each Fund’s investment program and each Fund’s portfolio composition and performance, (B) any policies and procedures implemented by the Subadviser to ensure compliance with United States securities laws and regulations applicable to the Subadviser and each Fund, (C) each Fund’s compliance with the investment objectives, policies and limitations set forth in each Fund’s then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and any additional operating policies or procedures that the Trust communicates to the Subadviser in writing (either directly or through the Adviser) and (D) such other matters as the Adviser may reasonably request.

SECTION 3. EXPENSES

The Subadviser agrees to provide, at its own expense, the office space, facilities, furnishings and equipment, and the staff and personnel necessary for the Subadviser to perform the services required of it under this Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Subadviser shall have no responsibility or obligation to pay any costs or expenses of the Trust, each Fund or the Adviser.

SECTION 4. STANDARD OF CARE

(a) The Trust and the Adviser shall expect of the Subadviser, and the Subadviser will give the Trust and the Adviser the benefit of, the Subadviser’s best judgment and efforts in rendering its services on behalf of each Fund, and as an inducement to the Subadviser’s undertaking these services the Subadviser shall not be liable hereunder for any mistake of judgment or in any event whatsoever, except for lack of good faith, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect, or purport to protect, the Subadviser against any liability to the Trust, the Trust’s shareholders or the Adviser to which the Subadviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Subadviser’s duties hereunder, or by reason of the Subadviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. As used in this Section 4, the term “Subadviser” shall include any

affiliated person of the Subadviser (other than the Adviser) performing services on behalf of a Fund contemplated hereby and directors, officers and employees of the Subadviser as well as the Subadviser itself.

(b) The Subadviser shall not be liable for any losses caused by disturbances of its operations by virtue of force majeure, war, riot, or damage caused by nature or due to other events for which it is not responsible (e.g., strike, lock-out or losses caused by the imposition of foreign exchange controls, expropriation of assets or other acts of domestic or foreign authorities) except under circumstances provided for in
Section 4(a).

The presence of exculpatory language in this Agreement shall not in any way limit or be deemed by anyone as in any way limiting causes of action and remedies that may, notwithstanding such language, be available to the Trust, the Trustees of the Trust, a Fund, the Adviser, the Subadviser or any other party appointed pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation any custodian), either under common law or statutory law principles applicable to fiduciary relationships or under the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall exclude any liability of the Subadviser to a Fund arising under the United Kingdom Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 (“FSMA”), any regulations made under the FSMA, the Pensions Act of 1995 or FSA Rules. In accordance with FSA requirements, the Subadviser has classified each Fund as an Intermediate Customer.

SECTION 5. COMPENSATION

For the services to be rendered by the Subadviser as provided in this Agreement, the Adviser (and not the Trust or either Fund) will pay to the Subadviser a monthly fee in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all fees actually paid by a Fund to the Adviser for such month under Section 5 of the Management Contract; provided, however, that the Subadviser’s fee payable hereunder for any period shall be reduced such that the Subadviser bears fifty percent (50%) of any voluntary fee waiver observed or expense reimbursement borne by the Adviser with respect to a Fund for such period. For clarity, the Adviser shall be obligated to pay the Subadviser fees hereunder for any period only out of and following the Adviser’s receipt from a Fund of advisory fees pursuant to Section 5 of the Management Contract for such period. Subject to the foregoing, such fees shall be accrued by the Adviser daily and shall be payable for each fiscal month within thirty days after the close of such month and shall commence accruing as of the date of the initial issuance of shares of a Fund to the public.

SECTION 6. EFFECTIVENESS, DURATION, AND TERMINATION

(a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date first written above and shall remain in effect with respect to each Fund for a period of two years from the date of its effectiveness and shall continue in effect for successive twelve-month periods; provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund, and, in either case, (ii) by a majority of the Trust’s Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party (other than as Trustees of the Trust); provided further, however, that if this Agreement or the continuation of this Agreement is not approved, the Subadviser may continue to render to a Fund the services described herein in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(b) This Agreement may be terminated at any time with respect to each Fund, without the payment of any penalty (i) by the Board or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund on 60 days’ written notice to the Subadviser; (ii) by the Adviser on 60 days’ written notice to the Subadviser; or (iii) by the Subadviser on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser and the Trust. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon assignment as defined in the Act.

SECTION 7. ACTIVITIES OF THE SUBADVISER

Except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations hereunder, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the Subadviser’s right, or the right of any of the Subadviser’s officers, directors or employees who may also be a Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust, or persons otherwise affiliated persons of the Trust to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, trust, firm, individual or association. It is specifically understood that officers, directors and employees of the Subadviser and its affiliates may continue to engage in providing portfolio management services and advice to other investment companies, whether or not registered, and to other investment advisory clients. When other clients of the Subadviser desire to

purchase or sell a security at the same time such security is purchased or sold for a Fund, such purchases and sales will, to the extent feasible, be allocated among the Fund and such clients in a manner believed by the Subadviser to be equitable to a Fund and such clients.
