APPENDIX A

 

The Subadviser shall serve as co-subadviser for the Portfolio of the Trust listed below.  The Adviser will pay the Subadviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement with respect to the Portfolio, the fee computed separately for such Portfolio at an annual rate as follows (the “Subadviser Fee”):

 

*Rate also applies retroactively to all assets below $200 million. 

**The term Aggregate Net Assets for a given day includes the net assets of the Portfolio managed by the Subadviser.  It also includes the net assets of one or more other portfolios of the Trust or other portfolios managed by the Subadviser as indicated below, but in each case only for the period during which the Subadviser for the Portfolio also serves as the subadviser or co-subadviser for the other portfolio(s).  For purposes of determining Aggregate Net Assets and calculating the Subadviser Fee for a given day, the net assets of the Portfolio and each other portfolio of the Trust are determined by the Custodian as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust, and the net assets of each other portfolio are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of that other portfolio.

The Subadviser Fee for a Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”).  The Subadviser Fee for the Portfolio shall be accrued for each calendar day, and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Subadviser within 30 calendar days of the end of each month.  The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Portfolio that are managed by the Subadviser.  The Adviser shall provide Subadviser with such information as Subadviser may reasonably request supporting the calculation of the fees paid to it hereunder. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by Subadviser.

 

If, with respect to the Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) 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 or from the beginning of such month to the date such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.
