     periodic special written reports of such additional  information concerning
     the same as may reasonably be requested from time to time by the Investment
     Adviser  or the  Trustees  of the  Trust,  and  attend  meetings  with  the
     Investment Adviser and/or the Trustees, as reasonably requested, to discuss
     the foregoing;

          (iv)  Sub-Adviser  shall  promptly  notify the  Investment  Adviser of

     significant  events that may require fair value pricing of all or a portion
     of a  Fund's  portfolio,  provide  advice  about  the  fair  value  of  all
     securities  and  other   investments/assets  in  the  Fund,  as  requested;

     Adviser,  the  Trust's  administrator,  the Trust's  custodian  and foreign

     all such  persons  fully  informed  as to such  matters as the  Sub-Adviser
     considers  in good  faith  to be  necessary  to the  performance  of  their
     obligations  to the  Trust  and  the  Investment  Adviser,  provide  prompt
     responses  to  reasonable  requests  made by such  persons and maintain any
     appropriate interfaces with each so as to promote the efficient exchange of
     information.

     C. In furnishing services  hereunder,  the Sub-Adviser shall be subject to,
and shall perform in accordance with the following:  (i) the currently effective
Prospectus  and Statement of Additional  Information of the Trust filed with the
U.S.  Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC"), as the same may be hereafter
modified,   amended  and/or  supplemented   ("Prospectus  and  SAI");  (ii)  the
Investment  Company Act and the Advisers  Act and the rules under each,  and all
other federal and state laws or regulations  applicable to the Sub-Adviser,  the
Trust and the Fund(s);  (iii) any order or no-action letter of the SEC governing
the operation of the Trust, (iv) the Trust's compliance policies and procedures;

hereunder,  the Investment  Adviser shall provide the  Sub-Adviser  with current
copies  of the  Prospectus  and SAI,  any order or  no-action  letter of the SEC
governing the operation of the Trust,  and the Trust's  compliance  policies and
procedures. The Investment Adviser further undertakes to provide the Sub-Adviser
with  copies  or  other  written  notice  of any  amendments,  modifications  or
supplements to any such  above-mentioned  document and Sub-Adviser will not need
to comply until such amendment,  modification or supplement has been provided to
the Sub-Adviser.

     D. The Sub-Adviser shall submit copies or summaries of its current policies
and procedures  adopted in accordance  with Rule 206(4)-7 under the Adviser Act,
and any of its other  policies or procedures

                                       2

required  to  comply  with  Rule  38a-1   under  the   Investment   Company  Act
(collectively, the "Sub-Adviser Compliance Procedures"), to the Trust's Board of
Trustees for approval pursuant to Rule 38a-1(a)(2) under the Investment  Company
Act.  The  Sub-Adviser  shall  furnish the  services  hereunder  to the Trust in
accordance with the Sub-Adviser Compliance Procedures.

     E.  The  Sub-Adviser,  at its  expense,  will  furnish:  (i) all  necessary
facilities and personnel, including salaries, expenses and fees of any personnel
required for them to faithfully  perform their duties under this Agreement;  and
(ii)  administrative  facilities,  including  recordkeeping,  and all  equipment
necessary  for the  efficient  conduct of the  Sub-Adviser's  duties  under this
Agreement.

     F. The  Sub-Adviser  will  select  brokers  and  dealers to effect all Fund
transactions  subject to the conditions set forth herein.  The Sub-Adviser  will
place all necessary orders with brokers, dealers, or issuers, and will negotiate
brokerage commissions,  if applicable.  The Sub-Adviser is directed at all times
to seek to execute transactions for each Fund (i) in accordance with any written
policies,  practices  or  procedures  that may be  established  by the  Board of
Trustees  or the  Investment  Adviser  from  time to time and  which  have  been
provided to the  Sub-Adviser,  (ii) as described in the Trust's  Prospectus  and
SAI,  and  (iii) in  accordance  with  applicable  federal  and  state  laws and
regulations.  In placing any orders for the purchase or sale of investments  for
each Fund, in the name of the Fund or its nominees,  the  Sub-Adviser  shall use
its best efforts to obtain for the Fund "best execution," considering all of the
circumstances,  and shall maintain  records  adequate to demonstrate  compliance
with this requirement.  In no instance will Fund securities be purchased from or
sold to the Sub-Adviser,  or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance
with the Investment  Company Act, the Advisers Act and the rules under each, the
Trust's  Compliance Manual, and all other federal and state laws and regulations
applicable to the Trust and the Fund.

     G.  The   Sub-Adviser  is  not   authorized  to  engage  in   "soft-dollar"
transactions  permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended ("Exchange Act"), without the express written approval of the Adviser
or the Trust's Board of Trustees.

     H. On  occasions  when the  Sub-Adviser  deems  the  purchase  or sale of a
security to be in the best  interest of the Fund(s) 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  purchased or sold to attempt to obtain a fair and  reasonable  result and
efficient  execution,  provided that the Sub-Adviser  does not favor any account
over any other  account.  Allocation of the  securities so purchased or sold, as
well  as  the  expenses  incurred  in  the  transaction,  will  be  made  by the
Sub-Adviser  in the  manner  which  the  Sub-Adviser  considers  to be the  most
equitable and consistent with its fiduciary  obligations to each Fund and to its
other clients over time. The Investment  Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser and
its  affiliates  may give  advice and take  action in the  performance  of their
duties with  respect to any of their other  clients  that may differ from advice
given,  or the timing or nature of actions taken,  with respect to the Fund. The
Investment Adviser also acknowledges that the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are
fiduciaries to other entities, some of which have the same or similar investment
objectives (and will hold the same or similar investments) as the Fund, and that
the  Sub-Adviser  will carry out its duties  hereunder  together with its duties
under such relationships.

     I. The  Sub-Adviser  will  maintain and preserve  all  accounts,  books and
records with respect to each Fund as are required of an investment  adviser of a
registered  investment  company  pursuant  to the  Investment  Company  Act  and
Advisers Act and the rules  thereunder and shall file with the SEC any report on
Form 13F or Schedule  13G  required by the  Exchange  Act,  with  respect to its
duties as are set forth herein.

     J. The  Sub-Adviser  will,  unless  and  until  otherwise  directed  by the
Investment  Adviser or the Board of  Trustees,  exercise  all rights of security
holders with respect to securities held by each Fund, including, but not limited
to:  voting  proxies in accordance  with the  Sub-Adviser's  then-current  proxy
voting policies  (provided such policies have been approved by the Trust's Board
of Trustees), and converting, tendering, exchanging or redeeming securities.

                                       3

4.   COMPENSATION OF SUB-ADVISER

     The  Investment  Adviser  will  pay the  Sub-Adviser  as  compensation  for
providing  services in accordance with this Agreement those fees as set forth in
Appendix  B. In  addition,  the  Investment  Adviser  shall be  responsible  for
extraordinary  expenses  incurred  by the  Sub-Adviser  in  connection  with the
performance of its duties hereunder,  including,  without  limitation,  expenses
incurred with respect to proxy voting execution, advice and reporting.

     In the event of termination of this Agreement, the fee provided in Appendix

Indemnitees (as defined below) for use therein.

     B. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Investment Company Act or any

employees  of the  Sub-Adviser  are not  prohibited  from  engaging in any other
business  activity  or from  rendering  services  to any other  person,  or from
serving as partners,  officers,  Trustees,  trustees,  or employees of any other
firm or Trust.

9.   SUPPLEMENTAL ARRANGEMENTS

     The Sub-Adviser  may from time to time employ or associate  itself with any
person it  believes  to be  particularly  suited to assist it in  providing  the
services to be performed by such  Sub-Adviser  hereunder,  provided that no such
person  shall  perform  any  services  with  respect to the  Fund(s)  that would
constitute an assignment or require a written advisory agreement pursuant to the
Investment  Company Act. Any  compensation  payable to such persons shall be the
sole  responsibility of the Sub-Adviser,  and neither the Investment Adviser nor
the Trust shall have any obligations  with respect thereto or otherwise  arising
under the Agreement.

10.  REGULATION

     The Sub-Adviser  shall submit to all regulatory and  administrative  bodies
having  jurisdiction  over the services  provided pursuant to this Agreement any
information,  reports,  or other  material  that any such body by reason of this
Agreement may request or require pursuant to applicable laws and regulations and
shall  promptly  provide the Advisor and Trust with copies of such  information,
reports and materials.  Nothing in this Agreement  authorizes the Sub-Adviser to
waive any privilege to which the Trust or the Adviser may otherwise be entitled.
Sub-Adviser  shall not be liable for  damages  incurred by the Adviser or to the
Trust to the extent that it provides information pursuant to this Section 10.

11.  RECORDS

     The records relating to the services provided under this Agreement shall be
the  property of the Trust and shall be under its  control;  however,  the Trust
shall  furnish to the  Sub-Adviser  such  records  and permit it to retain  such
records (either in original or in duplicate form) as it shall reasonably require
in order to carry  out its  business.  In the event of the  termination  of this
Agreement,  such other  records  shall  promptly be returned to the Trust by the
Sub-Adviser  free from any claim or retention of rights  therein,  provided that
the  Sub-Adviser  may  retain  any  such  records  that are  required  by law or
regulation.  The Investment  Adviser and the Sub-Adviser shall keep confidential
any information  obtained in connection  with its duties  hereunder and disclose
such  information  only if the Trust has authorized  such  disclosure or if such
disclosure  is expressly  required or requested by  applicable  federal or state
regulatory authorities,  or otherwise required by law in accordance with Section
10 of this  Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement  authorizes the Sub-Adviser to
waive any privilege to which the Trust or the Adviser may otherwise be entitled.
Sub-Adviser  shall not be liable for  damages  incurred by the Adviser or to the
Trust to the extent that it provides information pursuant to this Section 11.

12.  DURATION OF AGREEMENT

This  Agreement  shall  become  effective  upon the date  first  above  written,
provided that this Agreement shall not take effect with respect to a Fund unless
it has first been approved: (i) by a vote of a majority of those trustees of the
Trust who are not  "interested  persons" (as defined in the  Investment  Company
Act) of any party to this Agreement ("Independent Trustees"),  cast in person at
a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of
a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities (as defined in the Investment
Company Act)  ("Outstanding  Voting  Securities") of the Fund or as permitted by
Rule 2a-6 of the Investment Company Act. This Agreement shall continue in effect
for a period more than two years from the date of its execution  only so long as
such  continuance  is  specifically  approved at least  annually by the Board of
Trustees  provided that in such event such continuance shall also be approved by
the vote of a majority of the  Independent  Trustees cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Additional Funds may be added
to Appendix A by written agreement of the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser
and only after the  approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust,  including a
majority

                                       7

of the Independent Trustees,  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting such approval  and, if required  under the  Investment  Company Act, a
majority of the Outstanding Voting Securities of the Fund.

13.  TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

     This  Agreement  may be  terminated  with  respect to any Fund at any time,
without the payment of any penalty,  by the Board of Trustees,  by the vote of a
majority of the Outstanding Voting Securities of such Fund, or by the Investment
Adviser,  each on sixty (60) days written notice to the  Investment  Adviser and
the Sub-Adviser.  In addition,  this Agreement may be terminated with respect to
any  Fund by the  Sub-Adviser  upon  sixty  (60)  days'  written  notice  to the
Investment  Adviser.  This Agreement will automatically  terminate,  without the
payment of any penalty in the event the Investment  Advisory  Agreement  between
the  Investment  Adviser and the Trust is assigned (as defined in the Investment
Company  Act) or  terminates  for any other  reason.  This  Agreement  will also
terminate  upon  written  notice to the other  party that the other  party is in
material breach of this Agreement,  unless the other party in material breach of
this  Agreement  cures such breach to the reasonable  satisfaction  of the party
alleging  the  breach  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  written  notice.   Any
"assignment"  (as that term is defined in the  Investment  Company  Act) of this
Agreement  will  result  in  automatic   termination  of  this  Agreement.   The
Sub-Adviser  will  notify  the  Trust  and the  Investment  Adviser  of any such
assignment  and of any  changes in key  personnel  who are either the  portfolio
manager(s) of the Funds named in the Prospectus and/or SAI, or senior management
of the Sub-Adviser,  in each case prior to or promptly after,  such change.  The
Sub-Adviser agrees to bear all reasonable legal,  printing,  mailing,  proxy and
related expenses of the Trust and the Investment Adviser, if any, arising out of
an assignment of this Agreement by the Sub-Adviser.

14.  AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT

     Except to the extent  permitted  by (i) the  Investment  Company Act or the
rules or regulations  thereunder,  (ii) exemptive  relief granted by the SEC, or
(iii)  interpretation  of the SEC or its staff, this Agreement may be amended by
the parties with  respect to any Fund only if such  amendment,  if material,  is
specifically  approved  by the  vote of a  majority  of the  Outstanding  Voting
Securities  of such Fund (unless such  approval is not required by Section 15 of
the Investment Company Act or the rules thereunder, as interpreted by the SEC or
its  staff or  unless  the SEC has  granted  an  exemption  from  such  approval
requirement)  and by the vote of a majority of the Independent  Trustees cast in
person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose  of voting on such  approval.  The
required  shareholder  approval shall be effective with respect to the Fund if a
majority of the  Outstanding  Voting  Securities of the Fund vote to approve the
amendment,  notwithstanding  that the  amendment may not have been approved by a
majority of the Outstanding  Voting Securities of any other Fund affected by the
amendment or all the Funds of the Trust.

15.  ASSIGNMENT

     The  Sub-Adviser  shall not assign or transfer  its rights and  obligations
under this Agreement.  Any assignment (as that term is defined in the Investment
Company Act) of the Agreement shall result in the automatic  termination of this
Agreement,  as provided in Section 13 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
assignment shall be deemed to result from any changes in the Trustees,  officers
or employees of the Sub-Adviser except as may be provided to the contrary in the
Investment Company Act or the rules or regulations thereunder.

16.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

     This  Agreement  contains  the entire  understanding  and  agreement of the
parties with respect to each Fund.

17.  HEADINGS

     The headings in the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience
of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof.

19.  SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL

Should any portion of this Agreement for any reason be held to be void in law or
in equity, the Agreement shall be construed,  insofar as is possible, as if such
portion had never been contained herein. Sections 5, 11 and 20 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

20.  TRUST AND SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY

     The  Sub-Adviser  is hereby  expressly  put on notice of the  limitation of
shareholder   liability  as  set  forth  in  the  Declaration  and  agrees  that
obligations,  if any,  assumed by the Trust pursuant to this Agreement  shall be
limited in all cases to the Trust and its assets,  and if the liability  relates
to one or more  series,  the  obligations  hereunder  shall  be  limited  to the
respective assets of the Fund. The Sub-Adviser  further agrees that it shall not
seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any individual
shareholder of the Fund(s),  nor from the Trustees or any individual Director of
the  Trust.  The  assets  of a Fund  shall  be  available  only to  satisfy  the
liabilities and obligations of that Fund, and not the liabilities or obligations
of any other Fund. All obligations of the Funds under this agreement are several
and not joint,  and are included  together in this Agreement solely for the sake
of convenience.

21.  GOVERNING LAW

     The  provisions of this  Agreement  shall be construed and  interpreted  in
accordance  with the laws of the  State of New  York,  or any of the  applicable
provisions  of the  Investment  Company  Act. To the extent that the laws of the
State of New York,  or any of the  provisions in this  Agreement,  conflict with
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, the latter shall control.

22.  INTERPRETATION

     Any question of  interpretation  of any term or provision of this Agreement
having a  counterpart  in or  otherwise  derived from a term or provision of the
Investment  Company Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision
of the Investment  Company Act and to  interpretations  thereof,  if any, by the
United States courts or, in the absence of any controlling  decision of any such
court, by rules, regulations or orders of the SEC validly issued pursuant to the
Investment  Company  Act.  Specifically,  the terms  "vote of a majority  of the
outstanding  voting  securities,"   "interested   persons,"   "assignment,"  and
"affiliated persons," as used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them by
Section 2(a) of the Investment  Company Act. In addition,  where the effect of a
requirement  of the  Investment  Company Act  reflected in any provision of this
Agreement  is  relaxed  by  a  rule,   regulation   or  order  of  the  SEC,  or
interpretation of this staff, whether of special or of general application, such
provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule,  regulation or
order.
