The Subadviser agrees that all records which it maintains relating to the Fund are property of the Fund, and the Subadviser will promptly surrender to the Fund any of such records or copies thereof upon the Fund’s request. The Subadviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed under the Act any such records as are required to be maintained by it pursuant to this Subadvisory Agreement, as if the Fund were registered under the Act.

(g) The Subadviser shall not consult with any other subadviser to the Fund or to any other investment company or investment company series for which MML Advisers serves as investment adviser concerning transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets, other than for purposes of complying with conditions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Rule 12d3-1 under the Act.

(h) As MML Advisers or the Fund’s Board may request from time to time, the Subadviser shall timely provide to MML Advisers (i) information and commentary for the Trust’s annual and semi-annual reports, in a format approved by MML Advisers, and shall (A) certify that such information and commentary discuss the factors that materially affected the performance of the Portfolio, 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 (B) provide additional certifications related to the Subadviser’s management of the Portfolio in order to support the Trust’s filings on Form N-CSR, and the Trust’s

(i) The Subadviser may delegate any of its duties and obligations hereunder to any affiliated person, as such term is defined in the Act, 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) MML Advisers and the Fund’s Board 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 MML Advisers and the Fund’s Board, which may not be materially amended without prior written approval of MML Advisers and the Fund’s Board, and which provides for its automatic termination in the event this Subadvisory Agreement is terminated for any reason, and (iii) such delegation is permitted by and in conformity with the Act, in each case, as if the Fund were registered under the Act. The Subadviser shall be liable to MML Advisers 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 Subadviser shall be solely responsible for compensating any delegee for services rendered, neither MML Advisers 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.

3. Other Activities.

(a) Nothing in this Subadvisory Agreement shall prevent MML Advisers or the Subadviser from acting as investment adviser or subadviser for any other person, firm, corporation or other entity and shall not in any way limit or restrict MML Advisers or the Subadviser or any of their respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities for its own account or for the account of others for whom it or they may be acting, provided that such activities are in compliance with U.S. federal and state securities laws, regulations and rules and will not adversely affect or otherwise impair the performance by any party of its duties and obligations under this Subadvisory Agreement. MML Advisers recognizes and agrees that the Subadviser may provide advice to or take action with respect to other clients, which advice or action, including the timing and nature of such action, may differ from or be identical to advice given or action taken with respect to the Portfolio. The Subadviser shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or MML Advisers in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or MML Advisers except in connection with the investment management services provided by the Subadviser hereunder.

(b) The Subadviser agrees that it will not knowingly or deliberately favor any other account managed or controlled by it or any of its principals or affiliates over the Portfolio. The Subadviser, upon reasonable request, shall provide MML Advisers with an explanation of the differences, if any, in performance between the Portfolio and any other account with investment objectives and policies similar to the Portfolio for which the Subadviser, or any of its affiliates, acts as investment adviser. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for both the Portfolio and the Subadviser’s other clients, such investment will be allocated among the Portfolio and such other clients in a manner that is fair and equitable in the circumstances.

4. Compensation of the Subadviser.

The Subadviser will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under this Subadvisory Agreement, which expenses shall not include brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the effectuation of securities transactions for the Portfolio. For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant to this Subadvisory Agreement, MML Advisers agrees to pay the Subadviser and the Subadviser agrees to accept as full compensation for the performance of all functions and duties on its part to be performed pursuant to the provisions hereof, a fee paid monthly, in arrears, at the annual rate of 0.55% on the first $500 million of the net assets of the Portfolio, 0.45% on the net assets of the Portfolio greater than $500 million to $1 billion, and 0.40% on the net assets of the Portfolio greater than $1 billion as of the end of each month determined before giving effect to the payment of the management fee being calculated or to any purchases or repurchases of shares of the Fund or any distributions by the Fund. MML Advisers shall pay the Subadviser such fee not later than the fifteenth (15^th) business day immediately following the end of each calendar month. If this Subadvisory Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the fee for the period from the effective date to the end of the month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion that such partial month bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

5. Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

(a) The Subadviser shall place orders with or through such brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants or other persons (including, but not limited to, broker-dealers that are affiliated with MML Advisers or the Subadviser) as may be selected by the Subadviser; provided, however, that such orders shall be consistent with the brokerage policy set forth in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, or approved by the Fund’s Board, conform with federal securities laws and be consistent with seeking best execution. The Subadviser 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 to effect said transactions, and may enter into a contract in which the broker acts either as principal or as agent.

(b) On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or other investment to be in the best interest of the Portfolio as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, 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 Subadviser 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 Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund, as if the Fund were registered under the Act, and to such other clients.

(c) The Subadviser shall select broker-dealers to effect the Portfolio’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 Subadviser 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio; and any other considerations of which the Fund’s Board or MML Advisers may notify the Subadviser from time to time.

(f)

The Subadviser has supplied to, or made available for review by, MML Advisers (and if requested by MML Advisers to its designated auditor) all documents, statements, agreements and workpapers reasonably requested by it relating to accounts covered by the Subadviser’s performance results and which are in the Subadviser’s possession or to which it has access.

The foregoing representations and warranties shall be continuing and be deemed repeated at and as of all times during the term of this Subadvisory Agreement.

7. Representations and Warranties of MML Advisers.

(a) MML Advisers represents and warrants to the Subadviser the following:

MML Advisers has received a copy of Part 2 of Subadviser’s Form ADV at least two (2) business days prior to the execution of this Subadvisory Agreement.

The foregoing representations and warranties shall be continuing during the term of this Subadvisory Agreement.

8. Covenants of the Subadviser.

(a) If at any time during the term of this Subadvisory Agreement, the Subadviser discovers any fact or omission, or any event or change of circumstances occurs, which would make the Subadviser’s representations and warranties in Section 6 inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, or which might render the Disclosure Documents untrue or misleading in any material respect, the Subadviser will provide prompt written notification to the Fund and MML Advisers of any such fact, omission, event or change of circumstances, and the facts related thereto.

(b) The Subadviser agrees that, during the term of this Subadvisory Agreement, it will provide the Fund and MML Advisers with updated information relating to the Subadviser’s performance results with respect to the Portfolio and other clients with the same or similar investment strategies as the Portfolio (subject to applicable restrictions on the release of client confidential information) as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Fund and MML Advisers. The Subadviser shall provide such

information within a reasonable period of time after the end of the month to which such updated information relates.

(c) The Subadviser agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates will in any way refer directly or indirectly to its relationship with the Fund or MML Advisers, or any of their respective affiliates in offering, marketing or other promotional materials without the prior written consent of MML Advisers.

9. Confidentiality.

The Subadviser agrees that it shall exercise the same standard of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information, but no less than reasonable care, to protect the confidentiality of the Portfolio Information. As used herein “Portfolio Information” means confidential and proprietary information of the Fund or MML Advisers that is received by the Subadviser in connection with this Subadvisory Agreement, including information with regard to the portfolio holdings and characteristics of the Fund. The Subadviser will restrict access to the Portfolio Information to those employees or service providers of the Subadviser who will use it only for the purpose of managing or providing services to the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, access to Portfolio Information shall only be granted to service providers in accordance with the Fund’s policy regarding the disclosure of portfolio holdings and under terms of confidentiality that are as restrictive as the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not prevent the Subadviser from disclosing Portfolio Information that is (1) publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act, (2) rightfully received from a third party without obligation of confidentiality, (3) approved in writing by MML Advisers for disclosure, or (4) required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or law so long as the Subadviser provides MML Advisers with prompt written notice of such requirement prior to any such disclosure.

10.	Use of Names.

The names of both MML Advisers and any affiliates of MML Advisers and of the Fund and any derivative or logo or trademark or service ▇▇▇▇ or trade name are the valuable property of MML Advisers and such affiliates and the Fund. The Subadviser shall have the right to use such name(s), derivatives, logos, trademarks or service marks or trade names only with the prior written approval of MML Advisers or the Fund, as the case may be. The Subadviser acknowledges and agrees that, if it makes any unauthorized use of any such names, derivatives, logos, trademarks or service marks or trade names, MML Advisers and/or such affiliates or the Fund shall suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate and thus, such entities shall be entitled to injunctive relief without the necessity of posting bond.

11. Duration.

Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 12 hereof, this Subadvisory Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of two years from the date hereof. Thereafter it shall continue in effect from year to year, unless terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the members of the Fund’s Board who are not parties to this Subadvisory Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the Act) of any such party, and (ii) by the Fund’s Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Act) of the Fund, in each case, as if the Fund were registered under the Act.

12. Termination.

(a) This Subadvisory Agreement shall terminate automatically upon its assignment (within the meaning of the Act), the termination of the Advisory Agreement or the dissolution of the Fund.

(b) The Subadvisory Agreement may be terminated by MML Advisers or the Fund’s Board: (i) by written notice to the Subadviser with immediate effect, if the Subadviser’s registration under the Advisers Act is suspended, terminated, lapsed or not renewed; (ii) by written notice to the Subadviser with immediate effect, if the Subadviser is bankrupt or insolvent, seeks an arrangement with creditors, is dissolved or terminated or ceases to exist; (iii) by written notice to the Subadviser with immediate effect, if MML Advisers or the Fund’s Board determines for any reason, that such termination is appropriate for the protection of the Fund, including without limitation a determination by MML Advisers or the Fund’s Board that the Subadviser has breached an obligation or duty under this Subadvisory Agreement; or (iv) in its sole discretion, without penalty, upon sixty days prior written notice to Subadviser. This Subadvisory Agreement also may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the vote of the holders of a “majority” of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the Act).

(c) The Subadvisory Agreement may be terminated by the Subadviser, without penalty at any time, upon sixty days prior written notice, to MML Advisers and the Fund.

(d) In the event of termination of this Subadvisory Agreement, all compensation due to the Subadviser through the date of termination will be calculated on a pro rata basis through the date of termination and paid promptly after the next succeeding month’s end.

13. Indemnification.

(a) In any action in which MML Advisers or the Fund or any of its or their affiliated persons (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Act), controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), or any shareholders, members, partners, directors, officers and/or employees of any of the foregoing, are parties, the Subadviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the foregoing persons against any loss, claim, settlement, damage, charge, liability, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) to which such persons may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, settlement, damage, charge, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) Subadviser’s reckless disregard, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Subadvisory Agreement or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Subadviser contained in the Trust’s Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Fund or the omission to state therein a material fact regarding the Subadviser which was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished to MML Advisers or the Fund by or on behalf of the Subadviser; or (iii) any violation of federal or state statutes or regulations by the Subadviser. The federal securities laws impose liabilities in certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver of limitation of any rights which MML Advisers or the Fund may have under any securities laws.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 13 of notice of any claim or dispute or commencement of any action or litigation, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 13, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 13 except to the extent, if any, that such failure or delay prejudiced the other party in defending against the claim. In case any such claim, dispute, action or litigation is brought or asserted against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be

entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel specially approved in writing by such indemnified party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, following notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof; in which event, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 13 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, but shall continue to be liable to the indemnified party in all other respects as heretofore set forth in this Section 13.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnified party will have the option to select and retain its own counsel, in the indemnified party’s reasonable discretion, if (i) the indemnified party reasonably determines (A) such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party; (B) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnified party and the positions of any other indemnified party, or other parties to a claim, dispute, action or litigation not represented by separate counsel; (C) that representation of both the indemnified party and any such other indemnified party or other parties by the same counsel would not be appropriate; or (D) to withhold or withdraw his or her consent to being represented by counsel selected by the Subadviser or (ii) the Subadviser fails to assume the defense of a claim, dispute, action or litigation or an anticipated claim, dispute, action or litigation. The Subadviser shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party against, and shall advance to the indemnified party on a current and as-incurred basis, the full amount of expenses of counsel selected by the indemnified party as permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence. If the Subadviser shall not have elected to assume the defense of any claim, dispute, action or litigation for an indemnified party within thirty days after receiving written notice thereof from the indemnified party, the Subadviser shall be deemed to have waived any right it might otherwise have to assume such defense.

14. Notice.

Any notice under this Subadvisory Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party, with a copy to the Fund, at the addresses below or such other address as such other party may designate for the receipt of such notice.
