Massachusetts  business  trust  (the  "Trust").

     WHEREAS,  the  Adviser  and  the  Trust entered into an Investment Advisory
Agreement  effective  March  22,  2011  (the  "Agreement").

     WHEREAS,  the  parties have agreed to amend Section 6, "Term of Agreement,"
in  order  to  clarify  the  annual  approval  date  of  the  Agreement.

     NOW  THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

Section 6, "Term of Agreement," is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following:

     6.  TERM  OF  AGREEMENT
         -------------------

     This  Agreement  will  become  effective as to a Fund upon execution or, if
later,  the  date  that initial capital for such Series is first provided to it.
If  approved  by  the  affirmative  vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities  (as  defined by the Act) of a Fund with respect to such Fund, voting
separately  from  any  other Fund of the Trust, this Agreement shall continue in
full  force  and effect with respect to such Fund for two years from the date of
the  effective  date of the initial Investment Advisory Agreement with regard to
all  Fund(s)  covered by this Agreement.  After the initial two-year period with
respect  to  a  Fund,  this  Agreement  will  continue from year to year through
December  31st for each Fund covered by this Agreement, as listed on Schedule A,
provided  that  such continuation is specifically approved at least annually (i)
--------
by  the  Trustees  by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting  on  such renewal, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities (as defined by the Act) of such Fund with respect to which renewal is
to  be effected, and (ii) by a majority of the non-interested Trustees by a vote
cast  in  person  at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal.
Any  approval of this Agreement or the renewal thereof with respect to a Fund by
the  vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund, or by
the  Trustees  which  shall  include  a majority of the non-interested Trustees,
shall  be  effective  to  continue  this  Agreement  with  respect  to that Fund
notwithstanding  (a)  that this Agreement or the renewal thereof has not been so
approved as to any other Fund, or (b) that this Agreement or the renewal thereof
has  not  been  so  approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities  of  the  Trust  as  a  whole.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Adviser and the Trust have caused this Amendment to
be  executed  as  of  this  14th  day  of December, 2012.  This Amendment may be
executed  in  two  or  more  counterparts,  which  together shall constitute one
document.
