Board of Trustees (the "Board") and the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall, employing its discretion,

Assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof and the execution of agreements
relating thereto, in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as
stated in the Fund's most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that have been
provided to Sub-Adviser by Adviser (together, the "Prospectus") and subject to the following
understandings:
(a)The Sub-Adviser shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Sub-
Advised Assets and determine from time to time, with respect to the Sub-Advised Assets, what
investments or securities will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund and what portion of the
Sub-Advised Assets will be invested or held uninvested as cash. Without limiting the foregoing,

security futures contracts, foreign exchange spots and forwards, foreign exchange non-deliverable

thereto (collectively, "Commodity Interests");
(b)The Sub-Adviser shall use its best judgment in the performance of its duties under
this Agreement. The Adviser recognizes that speculative trading of Commodity Interests involves

believed to be reliable but not guaranteed by or to the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Advisor will have no
duties or obligations to the Trust or the Adviser other than as set forth here.in and does not guarantee
that its services will result in a profit for the Trust. Adviser acknowledges and agrees that Sub-
Adviser shall not have any legal or financial responsibility for performance or losses unless directly

Adviser's failure to adhere to any investment policies and restrictions as described in the Prospectus.
(c)The Sub-Adviser, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement for the Fund, shall act in conformity with the most recent version of the Trust's
Declaration of Trust, its By-Laws and the Fund's Prospectus that have been provided to it by the
Adviser and with the reasonable written instructions and directions of the Trust's Board of Trustees and
the Adviser, and will conform to and comply with the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and all
other applicable federal and state laws and regulations;

instruments, subject to Section 3 below;
(e)The Sub-Adviser shall maintain books and records with respect to the
transactions in securities and other financial instruments of the Sub-Advised Assets and shall render
to the Adviser and the Trust's Board of Trustees such periodic and special reports as the Adviser or
the Board may reasonably request;
(f) The Sub-Adviser shall provide the Trust's custodian and fund accountant on each
business day with information about Fund transactions in securities and other financial instruments
for which it is responsible, and with such other information relating to the Trust as may be required
under the terms of the then-current custody agreement between the Trust and the custodian;
(g)With respect to the Sub-Advised Assets, the Sub-Adviser shall respond as quickly
as reasonably possible to any request from the Adviser or the Fund's fund accountant for assistance in
obtaining price sources for securities or other financial instruments held by the Fund or determining
a price when a price source is not available;
(h)The Sub-Adviser hereby represents that it has adopted a written code of ethics
complying with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and will provide the Adviser
and the Trust with a copy of the code. Within 45 days of the last calendar quarter of each year
while this Agreement is in effect, the Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Board a written report
that describes any issues arising under the code of ethics since the last
-2-
report to the Board, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the code and
sanctions imposed in response to the material violations; and which certifies that the Sub-Adviser has
adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent access persons (as that term is defined in Rule
17j-1) from violating the code;
(i)The Sub-Adviser agrees to maintain adequate compliance procedures to ensure its
compliance with the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and other
applicable federal and state regulations with respect to its trading for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser shall
provide to the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer the executive summary of its annual written report
regarding the Sub-Adviser's compliance program.
(j)Unless and until the Sub-Adviser is otherwise informed in writing, it is intended that all
Fund assets without exception serve as "segregated assets" for the Sub-Adviser's compliance, with
respect to its own trading, with the 1940 Act's applicable rules of asset segregation. The Adviser shall
therefore cause all assets of the Fund not allocated to the Sub-Adviser for its own trading to be held in
an account marked as a "segregated account".
(k)Some of the trading of the Sub-Adviser's investment program may be done in the
Fund's wholly owned subsidiary, LCSA Fund Limited, as determined by the Adviser with the Sub-
Adviser's consent.
(l)In the event the Sub-Adviser receives any notices of proxy voting rights or class action suits
involving issuers, counterparties or other parties in interest with respect to the Sub-Adviser Assets, the
Sub-Adviser shall not have authority to act on behalf of the Sub-Advised Assets; instead, the Adviser shall
retain all such authority. The Sub-Adviser shall promptly forward any such notice to the Adviser.
(m)The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Adviser of any circumstance that could
reasonably be deemed to materially affect its ability to perform its obligations and services as
described in the Sub-Advisory Agreement or that could have a negative impact on the Fund and the
Adviser. Such circumstances, could include, but are not limited to, items such as:
1)any pending legal or regulatory actions or litigation pertaining to the Sub-Adviser or
any of its key employees and the disclosure of the results of those actions;
2)any material operational disruptions caused by the loss of functionality for key
personnel or systems;
3)Any circumstance that would cause the Fund to materially revise its offering
documents.
Section 3.  Execution of Purchase and Sale Orders. In connection with purchases or
sales of Commodity Interests, portfolio securities or other financial instruments for the account of the
Fund, the Sub-Adviser will arrange for the placing of all orders for their purchase and sale for the
account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser's selection of brokers
and dealers will be reviewed by the Board from time to time. The Sub-Adviser will be responsible for
the negotiation and the allocation of portfolio brokerage. In the selection of such brokers or dealers
and the placing of such orders, the Sub-Adviser will at all times seek for the Fund the best execution,
taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer
spread), the execution capability, financial responsibility and responsiveness of the broker or dealer
and the brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer.
-3-
The Sub-Adviser should generally seek favorable prices and commission rates that
are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In seeking best execution, the Sub-Adviser is
authorized to select brokers or dealers who also provide brokerage and research services to the
Fund and/or the other accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser is
authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a
commission for executing a Fund portfolio transaction that is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-
Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the executing broker or dealer. The
determination may be viewed in terms of either a particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall
responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to accounts over which the Sub-Adviser exercises
investment discretion. The Trust and the Sub-Adviser understand and acknowledge that, although
the information may be useful to the Fund and the Sub-Adviser, it is not possible to place a dollar
value on such information. The Board shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Fund
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Fund. The Sub-Adviser may not give consideration to sales of shares
of the Fund as a factor in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute Fund portfolio transactions.
Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, and other applicable law, the Sub-Adviser,
any of its affiliates or any affiliates of its affiliates may retain compensation in connection with
effecting the Fund's portfolio transactions, including transactions effected through others. If any
occasion should arise in which the Sub-Adviser gives any advice to clients of the Sub-Adviser
concerning the shares of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser will act solely as investment counsel for such
client and not in any way on behalf of the Fund.
Section 4.  Services to Other Companies or Accounts. The Sub-Adviser's services to the
Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that the
Sub-Adviser may render investment advice, management and other services to others, including
other registered investment companies. The Adviser acknowledges that different accounts, even
though traded according to the same investment program, can have varying investment results for
various reasons, including but not limited to: (a) the periods during which accounts are active; (b) the
investment program used (although all accounts may be traded in accordance with the same
approach, such approach may be modified periodically as a result of ongoing research and
development by the Sub-Adviser); (c) targeted leverage and volatility employed; (d) the size of the
account and instructions for adjusting the nominal account size, which can influence the size and
timing of positions taken and restrict the account from participating in all markets available to an
investment program; (e) the amount of interest income earned by an account, if any; (f) the amount,
timing of accrual and calculation methodology of fee and the brokerage commissions paid and other
expenses incurred; (g) the timing of orders to open or close positions; (h) the market conditions,
which in part determine the quality of trade executions; (i) trading instructions/restrictions; (j)
variation in fill prices; and (k) the timing of subscriptions and redemptions. The Adviser understands
that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of the Sub-Adviser's
duties hereunder will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained herein shall be
-4-

engage in and devote time and attention to other business or to render services of whatever kind or
nature. During the term of the Agreement and for one year thereafter, each party agrees not to engage
or employ the other party's employees who have been employed at any time during the term of the
Agreement.

to be maintained by it pursuant to Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser agrees that all
records that it maintains for the Trust are the property of the Trust and it will promptly surrender any

periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any such records as are required to be

expenses borne pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser will pay to the Sub-Adviser as full

payable. This fee for each month will be paid to the Sub-Adviser during the succeeding month.
The Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of the Sub-Adviser's fees, and the Sub-Adviser
agrees not to seek payment of its fees from the Fund or Trust. Any Sub-Adviser fees paid to the Sub-
Advisor shall be retained by the Sub-Advisor despite net trading losses suffered in subsequent
periods
