obtain such approval from the Subsidiary Board and/or the Subsidiary’s shareholders as is required by applicable law, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, terms of this Agreement, resolutions of the Subsidiary Board and commitments of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager agrees that, in the event it subcontracts with another party for some or all of the advisory Services with respect to the Subsidiary, the Investment Manager will retain overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Subsidiary and, subject to review and approval by the Subsidiary Board, will set the Subsidiary’s overall investment strategies (consistent with the Parent Fund’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information); evaluate, select and recommend one or more subadvisers to manage all or a portion of the Subsidiary’s assets; when appropriate, allocate and reallocate the Subsidiary’s assets among multiple subadvisers; monitor and evaluate the investment performance of subadvisers; and implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the subadvisers comply with the Subsidiary’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions.

(d)  In performing the Services, the Investment Manager shall (i) act in conformity with the Subsidiary’s Limited Liability Company Agreement as well as the Parent Fund’s declaration of trust, bylaws and registration statement, as each may be amended from time to time, (ii) consult and coordinate with the Subsidiary, as necessary and appropriate, (iii) advise and report to the Subsidiary, as necessary or appropriate, with respect to any compliance matters that come to its attention, and (iv) comply (or cause the Subsidiary to comply, as applicable) with all applicable law and manage the Subsidiary so as to ensure that the operations of the Subsidiary and Parent Fund, taken as a whole, comply with all applicable law, including but not limited to the following, to the extent applicable, including but not limited to the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Advisers Act”), the 1933 Act, and the provisions of the Code applicable to the Subsidiary to the extent it seeks to qualify as a regulated investment company.

5

(h)  The Subsidiary agrees that it will furnish to the Investment Manager any information that the latter may reasonably request with respect to the Services.

(i)  In selecting broker-dealers for execution, the Investment Manager will seek to obtain best execution for securities transactions on behalf of the Subsidiary, except where otherwise directed by the Subsidiary Board. In selecting broker-dealers to execute transactions, the Investment Manager may consider not only available prices (including commissions or mark-up), but also other relevant factors such as, without limitation, the characteristics of the security being traded, the size and difficulty of the transaction, the execution, clearance and settlement capabilities as well as the reputation, reliability, and financial soundness of the broker-dealer selected, the broker-dealer’s risk in positioning a block of securities, the broker-dealer’s execution service rendered on a continuing basis and in other transactions, the broker-dealer’s expertise in particular markets, and the broker-dealer’s ability to provide research services. To the extent permitted by law, and consistent with its obligation to seek best execution, the Investment Manager may, except where otherwise directed by the Subsidiary Board, execute transactions or pay a broker-dealer a commission or markup in excess of that which another broker-dealer might have charged for executing a transaction, provided that the Investment Manager determines, in good faith, that the execution is appropriate or the commission or markup is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Investment Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Subsidiary and other clients for which it acts as investment adviser. The Investment Manager shall not consider the sale or promotion of shares of the Parent Fund, or other affiliated products, as a factor in the selection of broker dealers through which transactions are executed.

(j)  Except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of the Investment Manager in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard by the Investment Manager of its obligations and duties, under this Agreement, neither the Investment Manager nor any of its respective directors, officers, partners, principals, employees, subcontractors or agents shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any loss suffered by the Subsidiary or its shareholders or creditors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Investment Manager and its respective directors, officers, partners, principals, employees and agents, shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected from liability in reasonably relying, upon any information or instructions furnished to it (or any of them as individuals) by the Subsidiary or its agents which is believed in good faith to be accurate and reliable. The Subsidiary understands and acknowledges that the Investment Manager does not warrant any rate of return, market value or performance of any assets in the Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the federal securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith and, therefore, nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of any right which the Subsidiary may have under such laws or regulations.
