(f) The Sub-Adviser shall maintain such books and records as are required under the Act or other applicable law, based on the services provided by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Sub-Advisory Agreement and as are necessary for the Adviser or the Fund to meet its record keeping obligations generally set forth under Section 31 of the Act and rules thereunder; and shall meet with any persons at the request of the Adviser or the Board of Trustees for the purpose of reviewing the Sub-Adviser’s performance under this Sub-Advisory Agreement at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance written notice.

(i) As the Adviser or the Board of Trustees may request from time to time, the Sub-Adviser shall timely provide to the Adviser (i) information and commentary for the Fund’s annual and semi-annual reports, in a format approved by the Adviser, and shall (A) certify that such information and commentary discuss the factors that materially affected the performance of the Fund, including the relevant market conditions and the investment techniques and strategies used, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the information and commentary not misleading and provide additional certifications related to the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Sub-Advised Assets (and, to the extent of Sub-Adviser's knowledge, the Fund) in order to support the Fund’s filings on Form N-CSR, and the Fund’s Principal Executive Officer’s and Principal Financial Officer’s certifications under Rule 30a-2 under the Act; (ii) a quarterly certification, as well as any requested sub-certifications, with respect to compliance matters related to the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Sub-Advised Assets (and, to the extent of Sub-Adviser's knowledge, the Fund), in formats reasonably requested by the Adviser, as they may be amended from time to time; and (iii) an annual certification from the Sub-Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer, appointed under Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act, with respect to the design and operation of the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program, in a format reasonably requested by the Adviser.

(j) The Sub-Adviser may delegate any of its duties and obligations hereunder to any affiliated person that is eligible to serve as an investment adviser to an investment company registered under the Act on such terms and conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate, provided that (i) the Adviser and the Board of Trustees consent to any such delegation and to the terms and conditions thereof, (ii) such delegation is pursuant to a written contract which receives prior approval by the Adviser and the Board of Trustees, which may not be materially amended without prior written approval of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees, and which provides for its automatic termination in the event this Sub-Advisory Agreement is terminated for any reason, and (iii) such delegation is permitted by and in conformity with the Act. The Sub-Adviser shall be liable to the Adviser and the Fund for any loss or damage arising out of, in connection with, or related to the actions, or omissions to act, of any delegee utilized hereunder as if such delegee were a party hereto. The Sub-Adviser shall be solely responsible for compensating any delegee for services rendered, neither the Adviser nor the Fund may be held responsible, or otherwise liable, for the payment of any amount due, or which may become due to any delegee.

Other Activities and Investments.

(a) The Sub-Adviser and its officers and employees shall devote so much of their time to the affairs of the Fund as in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser the conduct of its business shall reasonably require, and none of the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates shall be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the business of the Fund not expressly set forth herein. The officers and employees of the Sub-Adviser responsible for providing the services of the Sub-Adviser hereunder shall be available upon reasonable notice for consultation with respect to the provision of such services.

(b) The services of the Sub-Adviser to the Fund are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are free to render investment management or similar services to others. To the extent that affiliates of, or other accounts managed by, the Sub-Adviser invest in types of investments that limit the amount of assets and the number of accounts that they will manage or where capacity or access to such investment opportunity is otherwise constrained, the Sub-Adviser may be required to choose between the Fund and other accounts or affiliated entities in making allocation decisions. The Sub-Adviser will make allocation decisions in a manner it believes to be fair and equitable to each account under the circumstances. It is recognized that in some cases this may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or the size or position obtainable for or disposed of by the Fund. Nothing herein contained in this Sub-Advisory Agreement shall be deemed to preclude the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates from exercising investment responsibility, from engaging directly or indirectly in any other business or from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, holding, or otherwise dealing with any co-investments in portfolio companies for the account of any such other business, for their own accounts, for any of their family members or for other clients.

(c) It is understood that any of the investors, director, officers, and employees of the Adviser may be an investor, director, officer, or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the Sub-Adviser and in any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Adviser and that the Sub-Adviser and any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Adviser may have an interest in the Adviser. It is also understood that the Sub-Adviser and any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Adviser may have advisory, management, service, or other contracts with other organizations and persons and may have other interests and business.

Compensation and Expenses.

(a) As full compensation for its services under this Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser shall pay to the Sub-Adviser a quarterly fee (the “Sub-Advisor Fee”) equal to 50% of the Investment Management Fee and Incentive Fee received by the Adviser during the calendar quarter (calculated as set forth in the Fund’s then-current registration statement filed with the Commission). The Adviser shall pay the Sub-Adviser Fee in arrears not later than ten business days following the Advisor’s receipt of the Investment Management Fee or Incentive Fee, as applicable, from the Fund. If this Sub-Advisory Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any quarter, the fees shall be pro-rated based on the number of days the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in effect during the quarter.

(b) The Fund will be solely responsible for payment or reimbursement of its incurred or accrued organizational and operating expenses, including those set forth on Schedule A hereto. To the extent that the Sub-Advisor pays any such expenses, such payment will be treated as an advance to be reimbursed by the Fund. The Sub-Adviser will bear all of its expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its services under this Sub-Advisory Agreement that are not reimbursed by the Fund in accordance with Schedule A.

(c) From time to time, the Adviser may agree to voluntarily limit Fund expenses pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement. In the event Fund expenses exceed the Investment Management Fee and the Incentive Fee payable by the Fund pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement or otherwise and require a contribution by the Adviser to the Fund of such excess, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser Fee shall each be responsible for one-half of the required contribution. To the extent the Fund reimburses the Adviser for any amounts paid under the Expense Limitation Agreement in a subsequent period, the Sub-Adviser shall be entitled to receive 50% of any such reimbursed amount.

Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

(a) The Sub-Adviser shall place orders with or through such brokers or dealers (herein, “broker-dealers”), futures commission merchants or other persons (including, but not limited to, broker-dealers that are affiliated with the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser) as may be selected by the Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by applicable laws, regulations and exemptive orders. The Sub-Adviser may effect the purchase and sale of securities in private transactions on such terms and conditions as are customary in such transactions, may use a broker-dealer to effect said transactions, and may enter into a contract in which the broker-dealer acts either as principal or as agent.

(b) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or other investment to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as other clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by applicable laws, regulations and exemptive orders, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or other investments to be sold or purchased in order to seek best execution. In such event, the Sub-Adviser will make allocation of the securities or other investments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, in the manner the Sub-Adviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.

(c) The Sub-Adviser shall select broker-dealers to effect the Fund’s portfolio transactions on the basis of its estimate of their ability to obtain best execution of particular and related portfolio transactions. The abilities of a broker-dealer to obtain best execution of particular portfolio transaction(s) will be judged by the Sub-Adviser on the basis of all relevant factors and considerations including, insofar as feasible, the execution capabilities required by the transaction or transactions; the ability and willingness of the broker-dealer to facilitate the Fund’s portfolio transactions by participating therein for its own account; the importance to the Fund of speed, efficiency or confidentiality; the broker-dealer’s apparent familiarity with sources from or to whom particular securities might be purchased or sold; receipt of brokerage and research services available from or through the broker-dealer in accordance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; as well as any other matters relevant to the selection of a broker-dealer for particular and related transactions of the Fund; and any other considerations of which the Adviser may notify the Sub-Adviser from time to time. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine, the Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Sub-Advisory Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Sub-Adviser an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Sub-Adviser as to which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion.

(d) The Adviser hereby agrees with the Sub-Adviser that any entity or person associated with the Sub-Adviser which is a member of a national securities exchange is authorized to effect any transaction on such exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder.
