Victory Capital Management Inc.

INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT, made as of the 29th day of February, 2008, (the “Effective Date”) by and among Thrivent Asset Management, LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Adviser”), Thrivent Mutual Funds, a business trust organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Trust”), Victory Capital Management Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (“Sub-adviser”).

WHEREAS, Adviser has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of the 1^st day of January, 2006 (“Advisory Agreement”) with the Trust, which is engaged in business as an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and is authorized to retain Sub-adviser; and

WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to issue shares of the Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund (“Fund”), a separate series of the Trust; and

WHEREAS, Sub-adviser is engaged principally in the business of rendering investment advisory services and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Trust and Adviser desire to retain Sub-adviser as Sub-adviser to furnish certain investment advisory services to Adviser and the Fund and Sub-adviser is willing to furnish such services.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Appointment. (A) Adviser hereby appoints Sub-adviser as its investment Sub-adviser with respect to the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, and (B) Sub-adviser hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided. Such appointment shall apply to such portion of the Fund’s assets as is allocated to the Sub-adviser by the Adviser from time to time in the sole discretion of the Adviser.

II	Additional Series. In the event that the Trust establishes one or more series of shares other than the Fund with respect to which Adviser desires to retain Sub-adviser to render investment advisory services hereunder, Adviser shall so notify Sub-adviser in writing,

indicating the advisory fee to be payable with respect to the additional series of shares. If Sub-adviser is willing to render such services on the terms provided for herein, it shall so notify Adviser, whereupon the agreed parties will execute and amend this Agreement, memorializing the same and such series shall become a Fund hereunder.

III.	Duties of Sub-adviser.

Sub-adviser is hereby authorized and directed and hereby agrees to (i) furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund, and (ii) determine from time to time what investments shall be purchased, sold or exchanged and what portion of the assets of the Fund shall be held uninvested. Sub-adviser shall perform these duties subject always to (1) the overall supervision of Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), (2) the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-laws (as defined below), as amended from time to time, (3) the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in the Trust’s then current Registration Statement (as defined below), (4) any additional policies or guidelines established by Adviser or Board that have been furnished in writing to Sub-adviser, (5) applicable provisions of law, including, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (6) the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to “regulated investment companies” (as defined in Section 851 of the Code), as amended from time to time. In accordance with Section VII, Sub-Adviser shall arrange for the execution of all orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investments for the Fund’s account and will exercise full discretion and act for the Trust in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Adviser 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, including without limitation, management of cash balances in the Fund.

Sub-adviser shall have no liability with respect to custody arrangements or the acts or omissions of the Custodian. Sub-adviser will not have physical custody of such assets. Sub-adviser shall affirm security transactions with central depositories and advise the custodian of the Fund (“Custodian”), as identified in the Trust’s Registration Statement, or such depositories or agents as may be designated by Custodian and Adviser promptly of each purchase and sale of a Fund security, specifying the name of the issuer, the description and amount or number of shares of the security purchased, the market price, the commission and gross or net price, the trade date and settlement date and the identity of the effecting broker or dealer. Sub-adviser shall from time to time provide Custodian and Adviser with evidence of authority of its personnel who are authorized to give instructions to Custodian.

Unless Adviser advises Sub-adviser in writing that the right to vote proxies has been expressly reserved to Adviser or the Trust or otherwise delegated to another

party, Sub-adviser shall exercise voting rights incident to any securities held in the Fund without consultation with Adviser or Trust, in accordance with Sub-adviser’s proxy voting policy. Sub-adviser shall further respond to all corporate action matters incident to the securities held in the Fund excluding proofs of claim in bankruptcy and class action cases.

Upon reasonable request of Custodian and/or Trust, Sub-adviser shall provide assistance in connection with the Custodian or Trust’s determination of the fair value of securities in the Fund for which market quotations are not readily available.

The Sub-adviser makes no representations and warranties, express or implied, that any level of performance or investment results will be achieved by the Fund, or that the Fund will perform comparably with any standard, including any other clients of the Sub-adviser, or index.

In the performance of its duties hereunder, Sub-adviser is and shall be an independent contractor and except as expressly provided for herein or otherwise expressly provided or authorized shall have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Fund, the Trust or of Adviser.

The Sub-adviser shall have no responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the management of assets of the Fund other than the portion of the Fund’s assets with respect to which the Sub-Adviser provides investment advice.

The Adviser and the Trust acknowledge that the Sub-adviser is not the compliance agent for the Trust or for the Adviser with respect to the assets of the Fund that are not subadvised by Sub-adviser. To the extent that the Sub-adviser has agreed to perform the services specified in this Agreement, the Sub-adviser shall perform such services based upon its books and records with respect to the Trust, which comprise a portion of the Trust’s books and records.

The Sub-adviser is prohibited from consulting with any other sub-adviser of the Fund, if any, or the subadviser to any other investment company (or separate series of an investment company) managed by the Adviser concerning the Fund’s transactions in securities or other assets, except for the purpose of complying with the conditions of Rule 12d3-1 (a) and (b) under the 1940 Act.

IV.

Compensation. For the services provided pursuant to this Agreement, Sub-adviser shall receive an investment management fee computed as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The management fee shall be payable monthly in arrears to Sub-adviser on or before the 10th day of the next succeeding calendar month and shall be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the Fund during the month to which the payment relates. If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the investment management fee for the period

from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proration which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Sub-adviser will bear all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, other than those expenses specifically assumed by the Trust hereunder. The Trust shall assume and shall pay all brokers’ and underwriting commissions chargeable to the Trust in connection with the securities transactions to which the Fund is a party.

VI.

Duties of Adviser. Adviser has furnished Sub-adviser with copies of each of the following documents and will furnish to Sub-adviser at its principal office all future amendments and supplements to such documents, if any, as soon as practicable after such documents become available:

(1)

The Declaration of Trust of the Trust, as filed with the State of Massachusetts, as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time (“Declaration”);

(2)

The by-laws of the Trust as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time (“By-Laws”);

(3)

Certified resolutions of the Board authorizing the appointment of Adviser and Sub-adviser and approving the form of the Advisory Agreement and this Agreement;

(4)

The Trust’s Registration Statement under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) on Form N-1A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to the Fund and its shares and all amendments thereto (“Registration Statement”);

(5)

The Notification of Registration of the Trust under the 1940 Act on Form N-8A as filed with the SEC and any amendments thereto;

(6)

The Fund’s most recent prospectus (the “Prospectus”); and

(7)

Copies of reports made by the Trust to its shareholders.

Adviser shall provide, or has provided, to the Sub-adviser such information or documents as the Sub-adviser shall reasonably request or as required by applicable law or regulation. In particular, Adviser shall provide such assistance to the Sub-adviser in setting up and maintaining brokerage accounts and other accounts as the Sub-adviser shall reasonably request to allow for the purchase or sale of various forms of securities pursuant to this Agreement.

VII.	Fund Transactions.

Sub-adviser agrees that, in executing Fund transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, if any, it shall use its best efforts to seek on behalf of the Fund the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, Sub-adviser shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market and the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, with respect to the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In evaluating the best overall terms available, and in selecting the broker or dealer, if any, to execute a particular transaction, Sub-adviser may also consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”)) provided to Sub-adviser with respect to the Fund and/or other accounts over which Sub-adviser exercises investment discretion. Except to the extent prohibited or limited by law or regulation, Sub-adviser may, in its discretion, agree to pay a broker or dealer that furnishes such brokerage or research services a higher commission than that which might have been charged by another broker-dealer for effecting the same transactions, if Sub-adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of Sub-adviser with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion (as such term is used under Section 3(a)(35) of the 1934 Act). Sub-adviser shall, upon request from Adviser, provide such periodic and special reports describing any such brokerage and research services received and the incremental commissions, net price or other consideration to which they relate.

In no instance will Fund securities be purchased from or sold to Sub-adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Sub-adviser may buy securities for the Fund at the same time it is selling such securities for another client account and may sell securities for the Fund at the time it is buying such securities for another client account. In such cases, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and in compliance with such procedures of the Trust as may be in effect from time to time, Sub-adviser may effectuate cross transactions between the Fund and such other account if it deems this to be advantageous. Adviser and the Trust acknowledge that, in the event of any such cross transaction, Subadviser may have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities regarding the Fund and such other client account, and each of Adviser and the Trust consents to any such cross transaction. THE FOREGOING CONSENT TO CROSS TRANSACTIONS EFFECTUATED BY SUB-ADVISER MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME BY ADVISER OR THE TRUST BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO SUBADVISER.

On occasions when Sub-adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Trust as well as other clients of Sub-adviser, Sub-adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to obtain a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by Sub-adviser in the manner Sub-adviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to its other clients. In accounting for such aggregated orders, price and commission shall be averaged on a per bond or per share basis, provided, however, the portfolio managers have the discretion to fill orders for certain accounts, before others under certain circumstances in accordance with Sub-adviser’s policy, as more fully described in Part 2 of the Sub-adviser’s Form ADV.

VIII.

Ownership of Records. Sub-adviser shall maintain all books and records required to be maintained by Sub-adviser pursuant to the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to transactions on behalf of the Fund. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, Sub-adviser hereby agrees (A) that all records that it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Trust, (B) to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records that it maintains for the Trust and that are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act, and (C) to surrender promptly to the Trust any records that it maintains for the Trust upon request by the Trust; provided, however, Sub-adviser may retain copies of such records.

IX.	Reports and Meetings.

Sub-adviser shall furnish to the Board or Adviser, or both, as appropriate, such information, reports, evaluations, analyses and opinions as are required by law or that the Board or Adviser, as appropriate, may reasonably require, including, without limitation: compliance reporting and certification with respect to:

Affiliated Brokerage Transactions

Affiliated Underwritings

Cross Transactions

Prospectus Compliance

Code of Ethics

Soft Dollar Usage

Price Overrides/Fair Valuation Determinations

Trade Errors

In the event that there is a material violation of Sub-adviser’s compliance policies and procedures (adopted pursuant to rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and/or rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act) as they relate to Sub-adviser’s management of Fund assets under this Agreement, Sub-adviser will notify Adviser of the material violation(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.

Sub-adviser shall make available in person to the Board and to Adviser personnel of Sub-adviser as the Board or Adviser may reasonably request to review the investments and the investment program of the Fund and the services provided by Sub-adviser hereunder.

Services to Other Clients. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict (i) the freedom of Sub-adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, to render investment management and corporate administrative services to other investment companies, to act as investment manager or investment counselor to other persons, firms, or corporations, or to engage in any other business activities, or (ii) the right of any director, officer, or employee of Sub-adviser, who may also be a director, officer, or employee of the Trust, to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, including, but not limited to, buying, selling or trading in securities for its own account or for the account of others for whom it or they may be acting provided that such activities are in compliance with U.S. and State securities laws, regulations and rules and will not adversely affect or otherwise impact the performance duties or obligations under this Agreement.

XI.

Sub-adviser’s Use of the Services of Others. Sub-adviser may, at its cost, employ, retain, or otherwise avail itself of the services or facilities of other persons or organizations for the purpose of providing Sub-adviser or the Trust or Fund, as appropriate, with such statistical and other factual information, such advice regarding economic factors and trends, such advice as to occasional transactions in specific securities, or such other information, advice, or assistance as Sub-adviser may deem necessary, appropriate, or convenient for the discharge of its obligations hereunder or otherwise helpful to the Trust or the Fund, as appropriate, or in the discharge of Sub-adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the other accounts that it serves as investment manager or counselor.

XII.

Liability of Sub-adviser; Indemnification. Neither Sub-adviser nor any of its officers, Trustees, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the Trust, the Fund (at the direction or request of Sub-adviser) or Sub-adviser in connection with Sub-adviser’s discharge of its obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to this Agreement (collectively, “Related Persons”), shall be liable for (i) any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust or Fund or (ii) any error of fact or mistake of law contained in any report or data provided by Sub-adviser, except for any error, mistake or loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance by Sub-adviser or such Related Person of Sub-adviser’s duties on behalf of the Trust or Fund or from reckless disregard by Sub-adviser or any such Related Person of the duties of Sub-adviser pursuant to this Agreement (each of which is referred to as a “Culpable Act”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any stated limitations on liability shall not constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Adviser or the Trust may have under any applicable federal securities laws, and shall not relieve Sub-adviser from any responsibility or liability for errors committed by Sub-adviser in connection with the execution of trade orders.

Subadviser shall indemnify Adviser and its Related Persons and hold them harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities (collectively, “Damages”) arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with the performance of services by Subadviser or its Related Persons hereunder to the extent such Damages result from a Culpable Act of Subadviser or its Related Persons.

Adviser shall indemnify Subadviser and its Related Persons from and against any Damages arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with the performance of services by Adviser or its Related Persons under this Agreement or the Advisory Agreement, in each case, to the extent such Damages result from any willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties by Adviser or any of its Related Persons.

XIII.

Representations of Sub-adviser. Sub-adviser represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

Sub-adviser (i) is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this Agreement remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) has met, and will continue to meet for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, any other applicable federal or state requirements, or the applicable requirements of any regulatory or industry self-regulatory agency, necessary to be met in order to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) has the authority to enter into and perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) will immediately notify Adviser of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify Sub-adviser from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise.

XV.

Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the Fund on the Effective Date and, with respect to any additional Fund, on the date of amendment of this Agreement in accordance with Section II hereof, that the Sub-adviser is willing to serve as Sub-adviser with respect to such Fund. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for one year from the Effective Date with respect to the Fund and, with respect to each additional Fund, for two years from the date on which this Agreement becomes effective with respect to such Fund. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year, with respect to the Fund, subject to the termination provisions and all other terms and conditions hereof, so long as (a) such continuation shall be specifically approved at least annually (i) by either the Board, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; (ii) in either event, by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of any party to this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval; and (b) Sub-adviser shall not have notified the Trust, in writing, at least 60 days prior to such approval that it does not desire such continuation. Sub-adviser shall furnish to the Trust, promptly upon its request, such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of this Agreement or any extension, renewal, or amendment hereof.

XVI.

Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of the Board or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund on 60 days’ prior written notice to Sub-adviser. This Agreement may also be terminated by Adviser (i) with respect to a Fund, on 60 days’ prior written notice to Sub-adviser, without the payment of any penalty; (ii) upon material breach by Sub-adviser of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section XIII of this Agreement, if such breach shall not have been cured within a 20-day period after notice of such breach; or (iii) if Sub-adviser becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Sub-adviser may terminate this Agreement with respect to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on 60 days’ prior notice to Adviser. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, and Adviser agrees to notify Sub-adviser of such “assignment” and termination as soon as practicable. Any approval, amendment, or termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund shall be effective to continue, amend or terminate this Agreement with respect to any such Fund notwithstanding (i) that such action has not been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of any other Fund affected thereby, and/or (ii) that such action has not been approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust, unless such action shall be required by any applicable law or otherwise.

XVII.

Amendments, Waivers, etc. Provisions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

XIX. Miscellaneous.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof and the 1940 Act. To the extent that the applicable laws of the State of Minnesota conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control.

Insurance. Sub-adviser agrees to maintain errors and omissions or professional liability insurance coverage in an amount that is reasonable in light of the nature and scope of Sub-adviser’s business activities.

Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and shall supersede any prior agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and all such prior agreements shall be deemed terminated upon the effectiveness of this Agreement.

Interpretation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Trust to take any action contrary to its Declaration or By-Laws, or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Board of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of the Fund.

Definitions. Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the 1940 Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the 1940 Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States courts or, in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations, or orders of the SEC validly issued pursuant to the 1940 Act. As used in this Agreement, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “affiliated person,” “interested person,” “assignment,” broker,” “investment adviser,” “net assets,” “sale,” “sell,” and “security” shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the 1940 Act, subject to such exemption as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation, or order. Where the effect of a requirement of the federal securities laws reflected in any provision of this Agreement is made less restrictive by a rule, regulation, or order of the SEC, whether of special or general application, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation, or order.

Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more identical counterparts, each of which, standing alone, shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this instrument to be executed by their duly authorized signatories as of the date and year first above written.

Schedule I

Dated as of February 29, 2008

Sub-advisory Fees

Compensation pursuant to paragraph IV of this Sub-advisory Agreement shall be payable monthly in arrears and calculated in accordance with the following schedule applied to aggregate average daily net assets that are subject to the Sub-adviser’s investment discretion in the Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund:


Average Daily Net Assets*		Rate**
First $25 million		95 bp
Next $75 million		85 bp
Over $100 million		80 bp

*	When average daily net assets exceed the first breakpoint, multiple rates will apply, resulting in a blended rate, e.g., if average daily net assets are $30 million, a rate of 95 bp would apply to $25 million and a rate of 85 bp would apply to $5 million.

Solely for purposes of calculating the fees payable under this Fee Schedule, the value of the average daily net assets of the Fund that are subject to the Sub-adviser’s investment discretion shall be aggregated with the value of the average daily net assets of the Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Portfolio that are subject to the Sub-adviser’s investment discretion.
