The Trust hereby employs ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to act as investment adviser for and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund and to administer the Fund’s affairs, subject to the supervision of the Trustees of the Trust, for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby accepts such employment, and undertakes to afford to the Trust the advice and assistance of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ organization in the choice of investments, in the purchase and sale of securities and in the administration of the Fund and to furnish for the use of the Fund office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Fund and for administering its affairs and to pay the salaries and fees of all officers and Trustees of the Trust who are members of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ organization and all personnel of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ performing services relating to research and investment and administrative activities. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust.

In connection with its responsibilities as administrator of the Fund, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ will:

assist in preparing all annual, semi-annual and other reports required to be sent to Fund shareholders and/or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and arrange for such filing and printing and dissemination of such reports to shareholders;

prepare and assemble all reports required to be filed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund with the SEC on Form N-SAR, or on such other form as the SEC may substitute for Form N-SAR, and file such reports with the SEC;

review the provision of services by the Fund’s independent public accounting firm, including, but not limited to, the preparation by such firm of audited financial statements of the Fund and the Fund’s federal, state and local tax returns; and make such reports and recommendations to the Trustees of the Trust concerning the performance of the independent accountants as the Trustees deem appropriate;

oversee the valuation of all such portfolio investments and other assets of the Fund as may be designated by the Trustees (subject to any guidelines, directions and instructions of the Trustees), and review and supervise the calculation of the net asset value of the Fund’s shares by the custodian;

negotiate the terms and conditions under which transfer agency and dividend disbursing services will be provided to the Fund, and the fees to be paid by the Fund in connection therewith; review and supervise the provision of transfer agency and dividend disbursing services to the Fund; and make such reports and recommendations to the Trustees concerning the performance of the Fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent as the Trustees deem appropriate;

determine the amount of all distributions (if any) to be paid by the Fund to its shareholders; prepare and arrange for the publishing of notices to shareholders regarding such distributions (if required) and provide the Fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent and custodian with such information as is required for such parties to effect the payment of distributions;

review the Fund’s bills and authorize payments of such bills by the Fund’s custodian;

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide the Trust with such investment management and supervision as the Trust may from time to time consider necessary for the proper supervision of the Fund. As investment adviser to the Trust, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall furnish continuously an investment program and shall determine from time to time what securities and other investments shall be acquired, disposed of or exchanged and what portion of the Fund’s assets shall be held uninvested, subject always to the applicable restrictions of the Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, registration statement of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and any applicable Fund compliance procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, all as from time to time amended. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Trust, to buy, sell, and otherwise trade in any and all types of securities, derivatives and investment instruments on behalf of the Fund. Should the Trustees of the Trust at any time, however, make any specific determination as to investment policy for the Fund and notify ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ thereof in writing, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be bound by such determination for the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall take, on behalf of the Trust, all actions which it deems necessary or desirable to implement the investment policies of the Trust and of the Fund.

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall place all orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities for the account of the Fund either directly with the issuer or with brokers or dealers selected by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and to that end ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ is authorized as the agent of the Fund to give instructions to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall adhere to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, and shall not be responsible for, the distribution of shares of the Fund, nor shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ be deemed to have assumed or have any responsibility with respect to functions specifically assumed by any transfer agent, custodian or shareholder servicing agent of the Trust or the Fund.

Compensation of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. For the services, payments and facilities to be furnished hereunder by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to receive from the Fund fees as set forth below:

Limitation of Liability of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

The performance of each such sub-investment adviser or sub-administrator of its obligation under any such agreement shall be supervised by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Further, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ may, with the approval of the Trustees of the Trust and without the vote of any Interests in the Trust, terminate any agreement with any sub-investment adviser or sub-administrator and/or enter into an agreement with one or more other sub-investment advisers or sub-administrators, all as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules hereunder.

Duration and Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date of its execution, and, unless terminated as herein provided, shall remain in full force and effect through and including the second anniversary of the execution of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as such continuance after such second anniversary is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or the Trust cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other, terminate this Agreement without the payment of any penalty, by action of Trustees of the Trust or the trustees of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be, and the Trust may, at any time upon such written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, terminate this Agreement by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

Amendments of the Agreement.

Limitation of Liability of Trust. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly acknowledges the provision in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust limiting the personal liability of the Trustees of the Trust and the shareholders of the Fund, and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees that it shall have recourse to the Trust or the Fund for payment of claims or obligations as between the Trust or the Fund and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ arising out of this Agreement and shall not seek satisfaction from the Trustees or shareholders or any Trustee of the Trust or shareholder of the Fund.
