provided herein or authorized by the Adviser or the Board from time to time, have no authority to
act for or represent the Adviser or the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the
Adviser or the Trust. The Adviser hereby delegates to the Sub-Adviser the authority, as agent and

the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall, employing its discretion, manage the investment and
reinvestment for that portion of the Fund's assets that are assigned to the Sub-Adviser by the
Adviser (the "Sub-Advised Assets"), including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof and
the execution of agreements relating thereto, in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives,

Sub-Adviser, 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;
(b)The Sub-Adviser shall use its best judgment in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement;
(c)The Sub-Adviser, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement, shall comply with the reasonable written instructions and directions of the Board,
which instructions and directions shall not be inconsistent with the Prospectus, as the Adviser

the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus, and (iv)
applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and all other applicable federal and state laws and
regulations. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility

determinations either directly with the issuer or with any broker and/or dealer in such securities,

transactions of the Sub-Advised Assets as it is required to maintain pursuant to Rules 3la-l and

render to the Adviser and the Board such periodic and special reports as the Adviser or the Board
may reasonably request;
(f)The Sub-Adviser (or the broker, at the Sub-Adviser's discretion) shall provide the
Trust's custodian and fund accountant on each business day with information about securities
transactions under the Sub-Adviser's control as the custodian and fund accountant may reasonably
require 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 practicable to any request from the Adviser or the fund accountant for assistance in
obtaining price sources for securities held by the Fund or recommending a price when a price
source is not available, and shall promptly notify the Adviser if, for any reason, the Sub-Adviser
believes that the price of any security or other asset in the Sub-Advised Assets appears to be
incorrect, but in no event shall the Sub-Adviser be responsible for determining the final valuation
of an asset;
(h)With respect to the Sub-Advised Assets, the Sub-Adviser shall vote all proxies
solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Fund may be invested
from time to time. Such proxies will be voted in accordance with the Sub-Adviser's proxy voting
policy, a copy of which has been provided to the Board. The Sub-Adviser shall provide a copy of
its proxy voting policy, and any amendments thereto, to the Adviser prior to the execution ofthis
Agreement;
(i)The Sub-Adviser hereby represents that it has adopted a written code of ethics (the
"code") to ensure compliance with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and will
provide the Adviser and the Board with a copy of the code and evidence of its adoption. 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 material issues arising under the code
since the last 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;
(j)The Sub-Adviser agrees to maintain adequate compliance procedures to ensure its
compliance with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act and other applicable
federal and state regulations, which procedures have been reviewed and approved by the Board of
Trustees of the Trust. The Sub-Adviser shall, following the effective date of this Agreement,
provide to the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer an executive summary of its next completed
annual written report regarding the Sub-Adviser's compliance program within a reasonable time
following preparation of such annual written report.
(k)The Sub-Adviser, during the term of this Agreement, agrees to maintain its
registration as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Advisers Act.
(1)The Sub-Adviser, during the term of this Agreement, shall promptly notify the
Adviser of any circumstance that could materially impede the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform
its services as described in this Agreement. Such circumstances, to be determined in the Sub­
Adviser's sole discretion, could include, but are not limited to, items such as: litigation or
regulatory actions pertaining to the Sub-Adviser or any of its key employees and any material
operational disruptions caused by the loss of functionality for key employees or systems.
Section 3.  Execution of Purchase and Sale Orders. With respect to the Sub-Advised
Assets, in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the accounts of the Fund,
the Sub-Adviser will arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities 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 principal business and portfolio
brokerage. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Sub­
Adviser will use its best efforts to seek to obtain for the Fund "best execution," considering all of
the circumstances. Subject to its obligations under this Section 3, the Sub-Adviser shall be
permitted to aggregate trades for the purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio securities and
allocate such securities in accordance with the Sub-Adviser's aggregation and allocation policies
and procedures.
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. In accordance with
Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sub-Adviser is authorized
to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing the Fund's 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 Adviser 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 the Fund's portfolio
transactions.
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 or series thereof that may or may not have similar
investment strategies as those of the Fund. The Adviser recognizes that, in some cases, having
multiple clients for which a particular investment may be suitable may limit the size of the position
of that investment that may be acquired or sold for the Fund. In addition, 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 deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser or any affiliate of the Sub-Adviser to
engage in and devote time and attention to other business or to render services of whatever kind
or nature. During the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, each party agrees not to
solicit an employee of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party shall not be restricted from
hiring an employee of the other as a result of a reverse solicitation by an employee through such
party's normal hiring channels.
Section 5. Books and Records. The Sub-Adviser shall keep the books and records
required to be maintained by it pursuant to Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser agrees
that all records that it is required to maintain with respect to the Sub-Advised Assets under this
Agreement are the property of the Trust, and it will promptly surrender any of such records to the
Trust upon the Trust's request. The Sub-Adviser may maintain copies of any such books and
records for its own records.
Section 6.  Expenses of the Sub-Adviser. During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-
Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement,
other than the cost of securities and other investments (including, without limitation, taxes and
brokerage commissions, interest on margin borrowing, custodial fees, dividends payable with
respect to securities sold short, interest on account-related loans and debit balances, if any)
purchased, retained or sold for the Fund. All other expenses to be incurred in the operation of the
Fund will be borne by the Fund, except to the extent specifically assumed by the Sub-Adviser. The
Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for the Adviser's expenses, including any extraordinary and
non-recurring expenses.
Section 7. Compensation of the Sub-Adviser. For the services provided and the
expenses borne pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser will pay to the Sub-Adviser as
compensation at the rates set forth in Schedule A hereto. Pertaining to Section 7 and Schedule A,
"Sub-Advised Assets" shall refer to the assets assigned by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for
LoCorr Strategic Allocation Fund. The Sub-Advised Assets within the Trust are aggregated in
determining the appropriate fee level(s) to be used in the fee calculation. This fee for each month
will be paid to the Sub-Adviser during the succeeding month within five business days after the
month-end, and payment will be made by bank wire transfer per instructions furnished by the Sub­
Adviser. The monthly fee will also be accompanied by a statement from the fund accountant or
the Adviser, which details the calculation of the fee. In addition, upon termination of the
Agreement, the monthly fee shall become due and owing to the Sub-Adviser promptly after the
termination of this Agreement as of the next fee payment date; and the fee will be prorated for
such fees owed and due through the termination date.
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 Trust or the Fund.

information to any other person (other than the Sub-Adviser's professional advisors, accountants,
officers, employees, interestholders, affiliates and counsel or other third parties as necessary to
effect, administer or enforce the obligations and transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
unless (i) the Board has approved the disclosure or (ii) such disclosure is compelled by law or
regulation or information that has entered into the public domain other than by a breach of duty on
the part of the Sub-Adviser. In addition, Sub-Adviser, and Sub-Adviser's officers, directors and
employees are prohibited from receiving compensation or other consideration, for themselves or
on behalf of the Fund, as a result of disclosing the Fund's portfolio holdings; provided, however,
that the Sub-Adviser and its officers, directors and employees are permitted to disclose the
portfolio holdings of third party accounts and investment vehicles managed by the Sub-Adviser
notwithstanding that such accounts and investment vehicles may include the portfolio holdings
that are the same as or pari passu with the Fund's portfolio holdings. Sub-Adviser agrees that
consistent with its Code of Ethics, neither it nor its officers, directors or employees may engage in
personal securities transactions based on nonpublic information about the Fund's portfolio
holdings.
The Adviser, on its own behalf or on behalf of the Fund, agrees to treat all records and
other information relating to the Sub-Adviser (including, without limitation, the Sub-Adviser's
advice with respect to trading, investments, and market positions or strategies, systems, software
programs, methods, models, techniques and formulas and the Adviser agrees not to reverse
engineer such items) as confidential and shall not disclose information of a confidential nature
acquired in connection with this Agreement, except for information that it may be entitled to
disclose pursuant to this Agreement or required to disclose by law or regulation or information
that has entered into the public domain other than by a breach of duty on the part of the Adviser,
the Fund or Trust.
Each party recognizes and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as granting any property rights, by license or otherwise, to any of the other party's
confidential information, or to any invention or any patent, copyright, trademark, or other
intellectual property right that has issued or that may issue, based on the other party's confidential
information to the receiving party or its affiliates. Neither party shall make, have made, use or sell
(or permit its affiliates to make, have made, use or sell) for any purpose any product or other item

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that any market
counterparty with whom the Sub-Adviser deals requires information relating to the Fund
(including, but not limited to, the identity of the Adviser or the Fund or Trust and market value of
the Fund), the Sub-Adviser shall be permitted to disclose such information to the extent necessary to
effect transactions on behalf of the Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each party
acknowledges that its breach of this Section 22 may cause irreparable damage and hereby agrees that

SCHEDULE A
Sub-Advisory Fee:
For the services provided and the expenses borne pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser will pay to
the Sub-Adviser, as further described in the table below, as full compensation therefor. The monthly
fee is based on an annual rate of the average daily net assets of the Sub-Advised Assets (each, a
"Monthly Fee").
Each Monthly Fee will be paid to the Sub-Adviser during the succeeding month, and payment of any
fees will be made by bank wire transfer per instructions furnished by the Sub-Adviser. Each Monthly
Fee will also be accompanied by a statement from the fund accountant or the Adviser, which details
the calculation of the Monthly Fee. The Monthly Fee shall become due and owed to the Sub-Adviser
promptly after the termination of this Agreement as of the next Monthly Fee payment date; and the
Monthly Fee will be prorated for such fees owed and due through the termination date. 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 Trust or the Fund.
The Sub-Advised Assets will be paid at that fee rate for that Monthly Fee. For the sake of clarity, if the
average daily net assets of the Sub-Advised Assets are $1,500,000,000 in a particular month, the entire
Monthly Fee will be paid at an annual fee rate of ___%. The annual rate used for each Monthly Fee
payment will be based upon the average daily balance of the Sub-Advised Assets during the month as
follows:
