SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of the 27th day of April, 2015, by and between Allianz Investment Management LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Manager"), and The Boston Company Asset Management LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company ("Subadviser").

WHEREAS each of the funds listed in Schedule A (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), as such Schedule may be amended from time to time, is a series of Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

WHEREAS Manager has entered into an investment management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with the Funds pursuant to which Manager provides investment advisory services to the Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS Manager and the Funds each desire to retain Subadviser to provide investment advisory services to the Funds, and Subadviser is willing to render such investment advisory services.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.            Subadviser's Duties.

(a) Portfolio Management. Subject to supervision by Manager and the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the "Board"), Subadviser shall manage the investment operations and the composition of that portion of assets of each of the Funds which is allocated to Subadviser from time to time by Manager (which portion may include any or all of the Funds' assets), including the purchase, retention, and disposition thereof, in accordance with the Funds' investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as stated in the Funds’ then current registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as from time to time amended (the “Registration Statement”), and subject to the following understandings:

(i) Investment Decisions.  Subadviser shall determine from time to time what investments and securities will be purchased, retained, or sold with respect to that portion of each of the Funds allocated to it by Manager, and what portion of such assets will be invested or held uninvested as cash.  Subadviser is prohibited from consulting with any other subadviser of any of the Funds concerning transactions of the Funds in securities or other assets, other than for purposes of complying with the conditions of Rule 12d3-1(a) or (b)

1

under the 1940 Act.  Unless Manager or the applicable Fund gives written instructions to the contrary, Subadviser shall vote, or abstain from voting, all proxies with respect to companies whose securities are held in that portion of each of the Funds allocated to it by Manager, using its best good faith judgment to vote, or abstain from voting, such proxies in the manner that serves the best interests of the Funds.  Subadviser shall not be responsible for pursuing rights, including class action settlements, relating to the purchase, sale, or holding of securities by the Funds; provided, however, that Subadviser shall provide notice to Manager of any such potential claim and cooperate with Manager in any possible proceeding.

(ii) Investment Limits. In the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, Subadviser shall act in conformity with applicable limits and requirements, as amended from time to time, as set forth in (A) each Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"); (B) instructions and directions of Manager and of the Board communicated to Subadviser in writing; (C) requirements of the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as applicable to the Funds, including, but not limited to, Section 817(h); and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations; (D) the procedures and standards set forth in, or established in accordance with, the Management Agreement to the extent communicated to Subadviser in writing; and (E) any policies and procedures of Subadviser communicated to the Funds and/or Manager.

(iii)           Portfolio Transactions.

(A)   Trading. With respect to the securities and other investments to be purchased or sold for the Funds, Subadviser shall place orders with or through such persons, brokers, dealers, or futures commission merchants (including, but not limited to, broker-dealers that are affiliated with Manager or Subadviser) as may be selected by Subadviser; provided, however, that such orders shall be consistent with the brokerage policy set forth in each Fund's Prospectus and SAI, or approved by the Board; conform with federal securities laws; and be consistent with seeking best execution. Within the framework of this policy, Subadviser may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, consider the research provided by, and the financial responsibility of, brokers, dealers, or futures commission merchants who may effect, or be a party to, any such transaction or other transactions to which Subadviser's

2

other clients may be a party.  In assessing the best execution available for any transaction, the Subadviser shall further consider all additional factors it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker-dealer, the reasonableness of the commission, if any (all for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis). In evaluating the best execution available, and in selecting the broker-dealer to execute a particular transaction, the Subadviser may also consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Subadviser, a Fund and/or other accounts over which the Subadviser or an affiliate of the Subadviser exercises investment discretion.  The Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker-dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commissions another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Subadviser determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker-dealer viewed in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of all of the accounts over which investment discretion is so exercised.

(B)   Aggregation of Trades.  On occasions when Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or futures contract to be in the best interest of one or more of the Funds as well as other clients of Subadviser, Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or futures contracts to be sold or purchased in order to seek best execution. In such event, Subadviser will make allocation of the securities or futures contracts so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, in the manner Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Funds and to such other clients.

(iv) Records and Reports. Subadviser (A) shall maintain such books and records as are required based on the services provided by Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement under the 1940 Act and as are necessary for Manager to meet its record keeping obligations generally set forth under Section 31 and related rules thereunder,

3

(B) shall render to the Board such periodic and special reports as the Board or Manager may reasonably request in writing, and (C) shall meet with any persons at the request of Manager or the Board for the purpose of reviewing Subadviser's performance under this Agreement at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance written notice.

(v) Transaction Reports.  On each business day Subadviser shall provide to the Funds' custodian and the Funds’ administrator information relating to all transactions concerning the Funds' assets that is reasonably necessary to enable the Funds’ custodian and the Funds’ administrator to perform their respective duties with respect to the Funds, and shall provide Manager with such information upon Manager's request.

(b)   Compliance Program and Ongoing Certification(s).  As requested, Subadviser shall timely provide to Manager (i) information and commentary for the Funds' annual and semi-annual reports, in a format approved by Manager, and shall (A) certify that such information and commentary discuss the factors that materially affected the performance of the portion of each of the Funds allocated to Subadviser under this Agreement, including the relevant market conditions and the investment techniques and strategies used, anddo 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 Subadviser's management of the Funds in order to support the Funds' filings on Form N-CSR and Form N-Q, and the Funds' Principal Executive Officer's and Principal Financial Officer's certifications under Rule 30a-2 under the 1940 Act, thereon; (ii) a quarterly sub-certification with respect to compliance matters related to Subadviser and the Subadviser's management of the Funds, in a format reasonably requested by Manager, as it may be amended from time to time; (iii) an annual sub-certification with respect to matters relating to the Funds' compliance program under Rule 38a-1, and (iv) an annual certification from the Subadviser's Chief Compliance Officer, appointed under Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act"), or his or her designee, with respect to the design and operation of Subadviser's compliance program, in a format reasonably requested by Manager.

(c)   Maintenance of Records.  Subadviser shall timely furnish to Manager all information relating to Subadviser's services hereunder which are needed by Manager to maintain the books and records of the Funds required under the 1940 Act.  Subadviser shall maintain for the Funds the records required by paragraphs (b)(5), (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(9), (b)(10) and (f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and any additional records as agreed upon by

4

Subadviser and Manager.  Subadviser agrees that all records that it maintains for the Funds are the property of the Funds and Subadviser will surrender promptly to the Funds any of such records upon the Funds' request; provided, however, that Subadviser may retain a copy of such records.  Subadviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed under the 1940 Act any such records as are required to be maintained by it pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof.

(d)   Fidelity Bond and Code of Ethics.  Subadviser will provide the Funds with periodic written certifications that, with respect to its activities on behalf of the Funds, Subadviser maintains (i) adequate fidelity bond insurance and (ii) an appropriate Code of Ethics and related reporting procedures.

(e)   Confidentiality.  Each party 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 information supplied by the other party that is not otherwise in the public domain or previously known to the other party in connection with the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder, including the Portfolio Information.  As used herein, "Confidential Information" means confidential and proprietary information of the Funds, Subadviser, or Manager, including portfolio holdings of the Funds or other portfolio managed by Manager or Subadviser, that is received by one of the other parties in connection with this Agreement, including information with regard to the portfolio holdings and characteristics of the portion of each of the Funds allocated to Subadviser that Subadviser manages under the terms of this Agreement.  Except as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise required by applicable law, each party will restrict access to the Confidential Information to those employees, delegates or agents who will use it only for the purpose for which the Confidential Information was provided to that party or as may be reasonably necessary in order to properly provide services to the Manager or the Funds or for the performance of their professional services.  The foregoing shall not prevent a party from disclosing Confidential Information that is (1) publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act of its own, (2) rightfully received from a third party without obligation of confidentiality, (3) approved in writing by the other party for disclosure, or (4) required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental or regulatory agency, court order, or law so long as the disclosing party provides the other party with prompt written notice of such requirement prior to any such disclosure.

(f)   Delegation.  In rendering the services required under this Agreement, Subadviser may, consistent with applicable law and regulations, and with the prior written consent of Manager, from time to time, employ, delegate, or associate with itself such affiliated or unaffiliated person or persons as it

5

believes necessary to assist it in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such delegation shall not involve any such person serving as an “investment adviser” to the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act.  Subadviser shall remain liable to Manager for the performance of Subadviser’s obligations hereunder and for the acts and omission of such other person, and Manager shall not be responsible for any fees that any such person may charge to Subadviser for such services.  Manager acknowledges that Subadviser may delegate certain operational and administrative functions to third parties in support of the services contemplated herein.

2.   Manager'sDuties.  Manager shall oversee and review Subadviser's performance of its duties under this Agreement.  Manager shall also retain direct portfolio management responsibility with respect to any assets of the Funds that are not allocated by it to the portfolio management of Subadviser as provided in Section 1(a) hereof or to any other subadviser.  Manager will periodically provide to Subadviser a list of the affiliates of Manager or the Funds (other than affiliates of Subadviser) to which investment restrictions apply, and will specifically identify in writing (a) all publicly traded companies in which the Funds may not invest, together with ticker symbols for all such companies (Subadviser will assume that any company name not accompanied by a ticker symbol is not a publicly traded company), and (b) any affiliated brokers and any restrictions that apply to the use of those brokers by the Funds.  The Manager will provide or cause to be provided to the Subadviser a list of persons authorized to give instructions under this Agreement.  The Manager may revise the list of authorized persons from time to time by sending the Subadviser a revised list.  Such revised list shall be effective upon receipt by the Subadviser.

3.   Documents Provided to Subadviser.  Manager has delivered or will deliver to Subadviser current copies and supplements thereto of the Funds’ Prospectus and SAI, and will promptly deliver to it all future amendments and supplements, if any, before or at such time as the amendments or supplements become effective.

4.   Compensation of Subadviser.  Subadviser will bear all expenses that it incurs in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement, which expenses shall not include brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the effectuation of securities transactions for the Funds, or any expenses of the Trust, including: organization and offering expenses of the Trust and the Fund (including out-of-pocket expenses, but not including Subadviser’s overhead and employee costs); fees payable to or expenses of other advisers or consultants; legal expenses; auditing and accounting expenses; interest expenses; telephone, telex, facsimile, postage and other communications expenses; taxes and governmental fees; fees, dues and expenses incurred by or with respect to the Trust or the Fund in connection with membership in investment company trade organizations; costs of insurance; fees and expenses of the Trust’s Administrator or of any custodian, subcustodian, transfer agent, registrar, or dividend disbursing

6

agent of the Trust or the Fund; payments for portfolio pricing or valuation services to pricing agents, accountants, bankers and other specialists, if any; other expenses in connection with the issuance, offering, distribution, redemption or sale of securities issued by the Fund; expenses relating to investor and public relations; expenses of registering and qualifying shares of the Fund for sale; freight, insurance and other charges in connection with the shipment of the Fund’s portfolio securities; expenses of printing and distributing prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information, reports, notices and dividends to shareholders; costs of preparing, printing and filing documents with regulatory agencies; costs of stationery and other office supplies; expenses of any litigation or other extraordinary or nonrecurring events and expenses relating to the issuance, registration and qualification of the shares of the Fund; costs of shareholders’ and other meetings; the compensation and all expenses (specifically including travel expenses relating to the business of the Trust or the Fund) of officers, Trustees and employees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Subadviser.  For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement, Manager will pay to Subadviser, effective from the date of this Agreement, a fee which shall be accrued daily and paid monthly, on or before the last business day of the next succeeding calendar month, based on the Funds' assets allocated to Subadviser under this Agreement at the annual rates equal to a percentage of such average daily net assets set forth in the attached Schedule A, which Schedule may be modified from time to time upon mutual written agreement of the parties to reflect changes in annual rates, subject to any approvals required by the 1940 Act.  For the purpose of determining fees payable to Subadviser, the value of the Funds’ average daily assets allocated to Subadviser under this Agreement shall be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Funds’ Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information as from time to time in effect.  If this 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.   Representations of Subadviser.  Subadviser represents and warrants as follows:

(a)   Subadviser (i) is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this Agreement remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer under Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act; (iv) has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, and will provide promptly notice of any material violations relating to any of the Funds to Manager; (v) has met and will seek to continue to meet for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, any other applicable federal or state requirements, or the applicable requirements of any regulatory or industry

(e)   Unless required under applicable law, Subadviser agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates will in any way refer directly or indirectly to its relationship with the Funds or Manager, or any of their respective affiliates in offering, marketing, or other promotional materials without the prior written consent of Manager.  However, Subadviser shall be permitted to

8

list the Fund and/or Manager on its list of representative clients.

(a)   Manager (i) is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this Agreement remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement or the Management Agreement, (iii) has met and will seek to continue to meet for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, any other applicable federal or state requirements, or the applicable requirements of any regulatory or industry self-regulatory agency necessary to be met in order to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement or the Management Agreement; (iv) has the authority to enter into and perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) will promptly notify Subadviser of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify Manager from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise.

(c)   Manager and the Trust have duly entered into the Management Agreement pursuant to which the Trust authorized Manager to enter into this Agreement.  Shareholders of the Funds have approved this Agreement or are not required to approve this Agreement under applicable law.

7.           Liability and Indemnification.

(a)   Subadviser agrees to perform faithfully the services required to be rendered by Subadviser under this Agreement, but nothing herein contained shall make Subadviser or any of its affiliated persons, as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, agents, or assignees (collectively, “Subadviser Parties”) liable for any loss sustained by the Funds, Manager, or their respective affiliated persons, as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, agents, assignees, or shareholders (collectively, “Fund Parties”), or any other person on account of the services which Subadviser may render or fail to render under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall protect Subadviser against liability to the Fund Parties, or any other person to which Subadviser would otherwise be subject, by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall protect Subadviser from any liabilities that it may have under the Securities Act of

9

1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act"), the 1940 Act, or the Advisers Act.  Subadviser does not warrant that the portion of the assets of each of the Funds managed by Subadviser will achieve any particular rate of return or that its performance will match that of any benchmark index or other standard or objective.

(b)   Except as may otherwise be provided by the 1940 Act or any other federal securities law, Subadviser Parties shall not be liable for any direct losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation (including legal and other expenses, but specifically excluding any indirect, special or consequential loss or any loss of profit or business opportunity) incurred or suffered by the Funds, Manager, their respective officers, directors, or shareholders, or any affiliated persons thereof (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) or controlling persons thereof (as described in Section 15 of the 1933 Act) (collectively, "Fund and Manager Indemnitees") as a result of any error of judgment or mistake of law by Subadviser with respect to the Funds, except that, subject to paragraph (a) above, nothing in this Agreement shall operate or purport to operate in any way to exculpate, waive, or limit the liability of Subadviser for, and Subadviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Funds and Manager Indemnitees against, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses) to which any of the Fund and Manager Indemnitees may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, or under any other statute, at common law, or otherwise arising out of or based on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard, or gross negligence of Subadviser in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder; (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact regarding Subadviser contained in the Prospectus and SAI, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Funds 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 Manager or the Funds by the Subadviser Indemnitees (as defined below) for use therein; or (iii) any violation of federal or state statutes or regulations by Subadviser; provided, however, that the Fund and Manager Indemnitees shall not be indemnified for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation sustained as a result of Fund Parties’ willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties under this Agreement or the Management Agreement, or violation of applicable law.  It is further understood and agreed that Subadviser may rely upon information furnished to it by Manager that it reasonably believes to be accurate and reliable.  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 or limitation of any rights that Manager may have under any securities laws.

10

(c)   Except as may otherwise be provided by the 1940 Act or any other federal securities law, Manager and the Funds shall not be liable for any direct losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation (including legal and other expenses, but specifically excluding any indirect, special or consequential loss or any loss of profit or business opportunity) incurred or suffered by Subadviser or any of its affiliated persons thereof (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) or controlling persons (as described in Section 15 of the 1933 Act) (collectively, "Subadviser Indemnitees") as a result of any error of judgment or mistake of law by the Trust or Manager with respect to the Funds, except that nothing in this Agreement shall operate or purport to operate in any way to exculpate, waive, or limit the liability of Manager for, and Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless the Subadviser Indemnitees against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses) to which any of the Subadviser Indemnitees may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, or under any other statute, at common law, or otherwise arising out of or based on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard, or gross negligence of Manager in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder; (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus and SAI, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Funds or the omission to state therein a material fact which was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission concerned Subadviser and was made in reliance upon written information furnished to Manager or the Funds by a Subadviser Indemnitee for use therein, or (iii) any violation of federal or state statutes or regulations by Manager or the Funds; provided, however, that the Subadviser Indemnitees shall not be indemnified for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation sustained as a result of Subadviser Parties’ willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties under this Agreement, or violation of applicable law.  It is further understood and agreed that Manager may rely upon information furnished to it by Subadviser that it reasonably believes to be accurate and reliable.

(d)   After receipt by Manager, the Funds, or Subadviser, their affiliates, or any officer, director, employee, or agent of any of the foregoing, entitled to indemnification as stated in (b) or (c) above ("Indemnified Party") of notice of the commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person obligated to provide indemnification under this section ("Indemnifying Party"), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof as soon as practicable after the summons or other first written notification giving information about the nature of the claim that has been served upon the Indemnified Party; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability under this

11

section, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is damaged as a result of the failure to give such notice.  The Indemnifying Party, upon the request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party in the proceeding, and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (1) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, or (2) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation by both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e)        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Subadviser      shall not be responsible or liable for its failure to perform under this Agreement or for any losses to the Fund resulting from any event beyond the reasonable control of the Subadviser or its agents, including but not limited to, nationalization, strikes, expropriation, devaluation, seizure, or similar action by any governmental authority, de facto or de jure; or enactment, promulgation, imposition or enforcement by any such governmental authority of currency restrictions, exchange controls, levies or other charges affecting the Fund; or the breakdown, failure or malfunction of any utilities or telecommunications systems; or any order or regulation of any banking or securities industry, including changes in market rules and market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of transactions; or acts of war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or acts of God, or any other similar event.  This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.           Duration and Termination.

(a)   Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than two years from the date written above only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act.  Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue automatically for successive periods of 12 months each with respect to any Fund, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the Board members who are not parties to this

12

Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, and (ii) by the Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds.

(b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated with respect to any Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of one or more of the Funds on 60 days' written notice to Subadviser.  This Agreement may also be terminated, without the payment of any penalty, by Manager (i) upon 60 days' written notice to Subadviser; (ii) upon material breach by Subadviser of any representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, if such breach has not been cured within 20 days after written notice of such breach; or (iii) immediately if, in the reasonable judgment of Manager, Subadviser becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including circumstances such as the insolvency of Subadviser or other circumstances that could adversely affect the Funds or Manager. Subadviser may terminate this Agreement at any time, without payment of any penalty, (1) upon 60 days' written notice to Manager; or (2) upon material breach by Manager of any representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement, if such breach has not been cured within 20 days after written notice of such breach.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act), except as otherwise provided by any rule of, or action by, the SEC, or upon the termination of the Management Agreement.

(c)   In the event of termination of the Agreement, those sections of the Agreement which govern conduct of the parties' future interactions with respect to Subadviser having provided investment management services to the Funds for the duration of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 1(a)(iv)(A), 1(e), 7, 14, 16, and 17, shall survive such termination of the Agreement.

9. Subadviser's Services Are Not Exclusive.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of Subadviser or Subadviser Parties to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any business, whether of a similar or a dissimilar nature, or limit or restrict Subadviser’s right to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other mutual fund, corporation, firm, individual, or association.  The Manager and the Trust acknowledge that Subadviser and its directors, officers, affiliates and employees, and the Subadviser’s other clients, may at any time have, acquire, increase, decrease, or dispose of positions in investments which are at the same time being acquired for or disposed of from the Fund; provided, however, that any such transactions by Subadviser’s directors, officers, affiliates and employees shall be in compliance with Subadviser’s written policies and procedures, including Subadviser’s written code of ethics complying with the

SCHEDULE A

Compensation pursuant to Section 4 of Subadvisory Agreement shall be calculated in accordance with the following schedules:

AZL Boston Company Research Growth Fund

Average Daily Net Assets*                                                                     Rate

First $50 million                                                                                     0.50%

Next $50 million                                                                                     0.40%

Thereafter (all assets over $100 million)                                              0.30%

*When average daily net assets exceed the first breakpoint, multiple rates will apply, resulting in a blended rate, e.g. if average daily net assets are $150 million, a rate of 50 bps would apply to $50 million, a rate of 40 bps would apply to $50 million, and a rate of 30 bps would apply to the remaining $50million.

The rates set forth above apply to average daily net assets that are subject to the Subadviser's investment discretion in the Funds.
