6. TRANSACTION PROCEDURES. All transactions will be consummated by payment to or delivery by the custodian designated by the Trust (the “Custodian”), or such depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in writing, of all cash and/or securities due to or from the Fund Account, and the Sub-Adviser shall not have possession or custody thereof.

7. ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE. The Sub-Adviser shall have authority and discretion to select brokers and dealers (including brokers that may be affiliates of the Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by Section 7(c) hereof) to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Sub-Adviser, and for the selection of the markets on or in which the transactions will be executed, subject to the following and subject to conformance with the policies and procedures disclosed in the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and the policies and procedures adopted by the Board.

a. In executing portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser will give primary consideration to securing the best price and execution. Consistent with this policy, the Sub-Adviser may consider the financial responsibility, research and investment information and other services provided by brokers or dealers who may effect or be a party to any such transaction or other transactions to which other clients of the Sub-Adviser may be a party. It is understood that neither the Trust, the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser has adopted a formula for allocation of the Fund Account’s investment transaction business. It is also understood that it is desirable for the Fund that the Sub-Adviser have access to supplemental investment and market research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher commission to the Fund Account than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the lowest commission. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund Account with certain such brokers, subject to subsequent review by the Board from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Sub-Adviser in connection with its services to other clients of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is also authorized to place orders with certain brokers for services deemed by the Adviser to be beneficial for the Fund Account; and the Sub-Adviser shall follow the directions of the Adviser or the Trust in this regard.

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

c. The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not execute any portfolio transactions for the Fund Account with a broker or dealer which is (i) an affiliated person of the Trust, the Adviser or any sub-adviser for any Fund Account of the Trust; (ii) a principal underwriter of the Trust’s shares; or (iii) an affiliated person of such an affiliated person or principal underwriter, unless such transactions are (x) exempt under Rules 10f-3(b) or 17a-10, (y) executed in accordance with Rule 17e-1 of the 1940 Act and the Trust’s Rule 17e-1 procedures, as adopted in accordance with Rule 17e-1 or (z) executed in accordance with Rule 10f-3(c) of the 1940 Act and the Trust’s Rule 10f-3(c) procedures, as adopted in accordance with Rule 10f-3. The Adviser agrees that it will provide the Sub-Adviser with a list of such affiliated brokers and dealers.

d. The Sub-Adviser acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the exemptions provided under Rules 10f-3(b), 12d3-1, and 17a-10 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser (i) will not consult with any other sub-adviser of the Fund, which is advising the Fund, concerning the Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons’ transactions with the Fund in securities or other assets of the Fund, and (ii) will be limited to providing investment advice with respect to the Fund Account.

8. PROXIES. The Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities in which assets of the Fund Account may be invested from time to time.

9. REPORTS TO THE SUB-ADVISER. The Trust or its agents will provide the Sub-Adviser with such periodic reports concerning the status of the Fund Account as the Sub-Adviser may reasonably request.

10. FEES FOR SERVICES. The compensation of the Sub-Adviser for its services under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Trust in accordance with the attached Schedule C.

11. OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The Trust acknowledges that the Sub-Adviser or one or more of its affiliated persons may have investment responsibilities or render investment advice to or perform other investment advisory services for other individuals or entities and that the Sub-Adviser, its affiliated persons or any of its or their directors, officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for its or their own respective accounts (“Affiliated Accounts”). Subject to the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, the Trust agrees that the Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to other Affiliated Accounts which may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the

Fund Account, provided that the Sub-Adviser acts in good faith, and provided further, that it is the Sub-Adviser’s policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities to the Fund Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to the Affiliated Accounts, taking into account the investment objective and policies of the Fund Account and any specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Trust and Adviser acknowledges that one or more of the Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which the Fund Account may have an interest from time to time, whether in transactions which involve the Fund Account or otherwise. The Sub-Adviser shall have no obligation to acquire for the Fund Account a position in any investment which any Affiliated Account may acquire, and the Fund Account shall have no first refusal, co-investment or other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Fund Account or otherwise.
