WHEREAS, each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, management investment company and may issue its shares of beneficial interest, no par value, in separate series and classes; and

WHEREAS, each Trust offers shares in various series as listed in Appendix A hereto (each such series, together with all other series subsequently established by a Trust and made subject to this Agreement, being herein referred to as a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) and the applicable Trust offers shares of various classes of each Fund as listed in Appendix A hereto; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Administration Agreement, and subject to the direction and control of the Board of Trustees of the Income Trust (the “Income Board”) and the Board of Trustees of the Equity Trust (the “Equity Board” and, together with the Income Board, each a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards”), the Administrator acts as administrator for the Funds; and

WHEREAS, it is intended that the Trusts be third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Administrator desires to retain the Subadministrator to perform administration services for the Funds and the Subadministrator is willing to provide such services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Administrator and the Subadministrator agree as follows:

SECTION 1. APPOINTMENT

The Administrator hereby appoints the Subadministrator, subject to the supervision of the Boards, to act as subadministrator to the Funds and, in such capacity, to provide the services set forth in Appendix B hereto (the “Services”). The Subadministrator accepts this employment and agrees to render the Services for the compensation set forth herein. In connection therewith, the Administrator has delivered to the Subadministrator copies of (i) each Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-laws (“Organic Documents”), (ii) each Trust’s “Registration Statement” and all amendments thereto with respect to each Fund filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the 1940 Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), (iii) the current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Funds (collectively, as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented, the “Prospectus”) and (iv) all procedures adopted by the Trusts with respect to each Fund. The Administrator will further, from time to time, furnish the Subadministrator with all amendments of or supplements to the foregoing. The Administrator shall deliver to the Subadministrator: (i) a certified copy of the resolutions of the Boards appointing the Administrator and the Subadministrator and authorizing the execution and delivery of the Administration Agreement and this Agreement; (ii) a copy of all proxy statements and related materials relating to each Fund; and (iii) any other documents, materials or information that the Subadministrator shall reasonably request to enable it to perform its duties pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrator shall cause all service providers to the Funds to furnish information to the Subadministrator and to assist the Subadministrator as may be required and shall ensure that the Subadministrator has reasonable access to all records and documents maintained by or on behalf of the Funds or any service provider to the Funds.

SECTION 2. DUTIES OF THE SUBADMINISTRATOR

(a) Subject to the direction and control of the Administrator and the Boards and as detailed in this Agreement, the Subadministrator shall manage, coordinate and report to the Administrator and the Boards regarding the (i) Services and (ii) such other matters related to the services provided to the Funds by the Subadministrator as may be specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b) With respect to one or more Funds, as applicable, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Subadministrator shall provide the Services set forth in Appendix B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that the Subadministrator’s services shall be limited to those related to the Funds and that the Subadministrator will not be providing Services pertaining to the Trusts, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates that are not Funds.

(c) In addition to the limitation of liability set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Subadministrator shall not be liable to the Administrator, the Funds or any other individual or entity (“Person”) for any failure to provide any Service in the following circumstances, but only for so long as such circumstances continue (and for a reasonable period thereafter taking into account the impact that such an occurrence has on the Subadministrator’s ability to comply with its obligations under this Agreement):

(i)

if any relevant condition precedent upon which performance of the relevant Service depends (“Dependencies”) are not met and the failure to meet any such Dependencies was not a result of delay, or failure to provide information or take action, by the Subadministrator required to be provided or taken under this Agreement;

(ii)	if the failure to perform the Services is at the request or with the consent of the applicable Fund or the Administrator;

(iii)

if the failure to perform the Services results from incorrect or corrupted information provided by (A) any Person that is not an affiliate of the Subadministrator, that provides services to the Funds including, without limitation, any adviser, underwriter for a Fund, brokers or other intermediaries through which a Fund’s shares may be sold or distributed and any other current or predecessor service providers to the Fund or (B) valuation or market information providers, pricing services, couriers, software houses, custodians clearing systems or depositories, provided, that (1) if any such Person described in clause (B) above is chosen by the Subadministrator, then the selection of such Person must have been reasonable under the circumstances; and (2) in any event, Persons shall be deemed reasonable if they are selected or retained at the direction of the Fund or the Administrator; and/or

(iv)	if any Law to which the Subadministrator or any third party is subject prevents or limits the performance of the duties and obligations of the Subadministrator.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subadministrator shall nevertheless use reasonable efforts to provide the Services while any of the circumstances specified in this Section 2(c) above subsist, provided that the Subadministrator shall not be required to incur any additional costs in doing so (other than costs that it would have had to incur in the ordinary course of providing the Services, assuming such circumstances had not so occurred). If, despite the foregoing, the Subadministrator incurs any such additional costs in endeavoring to supply the Services, the Subadministrator shall promptly notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall, upon receipt of appropriate supporting materials, reimburse those costs to the Subadministrator to the extent that they have been reasonably incurred (and the Subadministrator used reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs) or they have been agreed in advance between the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the capitalized term “Law” means any statutes, rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority and applicable judicial or regulatory interpretations thereof and (ii) “Governmental Authority” means any court, government department, central bank, commission, board, bureau, agency, securities or futures industry associations or other regulatory, self-regulatory, administrative, judicial, executive, legislative or governmental entity in any country or jurisdiction.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the Subadministrator to perform any service that could cause the Subadministrator to be deemed an investment adviser for purposes of the 1940 Act, or that could cause a Fund to act in contravention of the Prospectus, its Organic Documents or any Law. The Administrator and each Fund acknowledges and agrees that (i) the summaries of the Services set out in Appendix B are intended to define the scope of the Services to be provided; and (ii) the procedures, features, functionalities, systems and/or facilities that support the provision of the Services by the Subadministrator or any Affiliated subcontractor shall be a matter for the sole discretion of the Subadministrator. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Appendix B with respect to the Services, each Fund assumes all responsibility for ensuring that the Fund complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Law.

(e) The Subadministrator will appoint one individual with sufficient seniority, experience and authority to oversee the Subadministrator’s performance under this Agreement (the “Contract Manager”) and, for periods when the Contract Manager is absent due to illness or vacation, a deputy for him or her, who will be the primary point of contact for the Administrator and the Funds. One of the Administrator’s officers, or such other Person designated by the Administrator from time to time, shall be the “Contract Manager” for the Administrator. The Contract Managers for each party shall be responsible for the overall management of this Agreement.

(f) The Subadministrator will be responsible for preserving the confidentiality of information concerning the holdings, transactions, and business activities of each Trust and each Fund in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act, other applicable Law, and any policies that are approved by the Board. The Subadministrator shall maintain policies and procedures relating to the Services it provides to the Funds that are reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws and shall employ personnel to administer the policies and procedures who have the requisite level of skill and competence required to effectively discharge its responsibilities.

(g) The Subadministrator shall promptly, after obtaining knowledge thereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct any errors that have been made in connection with its Services rendered hereunder, including errors of judgment or mistakes of Law, in accordance with each Trust’s applicable policies and procedures; provided, however, that the liability of the Subadministrator for any such error shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof relating to limitation of liability.

SECTION 3. STANDARD OF CARE

(a) The Subadministrator shall be under no duty to take any action except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by the Subadministrator in writing. The Subadministrator shall use commercially reasonable judgment and efforts in rendering the Services; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Subadministrator shall not be liable to the Administrator, the Trusts, the Funds, any Fund shareholders or any other Person for any action or inaction of the Subadministrator relating to any event whatsoever including, without limitation, any error of judgment or mistake of Law or any loss incurred by the Trusts or any Fund, in the absence of bad faith, willful misfeasance or negligence in the performance of the Subadministrator’s duties or obligations under this Agreement or the Subadministrator’s reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement (the “Standard of Care”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Subadministrator shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties (other than those related to the Subadministrator’s employees), fire, mechanical breakdowns, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the mails, transportation, communication or power supply.

(b) The Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Subadministrator, its employees, agents, subcontractors, directors, officers and managers and any Person who controls the Subadministrator within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act or section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Subadministrator Indemnitees”) against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising out of or in any way related to a claim from a third party and arising directly out of (A) the Subadministrator’s actions taken or failures to act with respect to a Fund or (B) incident to the delivery of the Services, except those actions or failures to act for which the Subadministrator would be liable under Section 3(a).

(c) The Subadministrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, and the Administrator, and their respective employees, agents, trustees and officers against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising out of or in any way related to a claim from a third party and arising directly out of (A) the Subadministrator’s actions taken or failures to act with respect to a Fund or (B) incident to the delivery of the Services, in either clause (A) or clause (B), solely for which the Subadministrator would be liable under Section 3(a).

(d) A Subadministrator Indemnitee shall not be liable for any action taken or failure to act in good faith reliance upon and consistent with:

(i)

the advice of the Administrator, the Funds or of counsel, who may be counsel to the Administrator, the Trusts or the Funds or external counsel to the Subadministrator who is reputable and qualified, and upon statements of accountants, brokers and other Persons reasonably believed in good faith by the Subadministrator to be expert in the matters upon which they are consulted;

(ii)

any oral instruction that it receives and that it reasonably believes in good faith was transmitted by the Person or Persons authorized by the Administrator, the Trusts or the Funds to give such oral instruction. The Subadministrator shall have no duty or obligation to make any inquiry or effort of certification of such oral instruction;

(iii)

any written instruction or certified copy of any resolution of the Board, and the Subadministrator may rely upon the genuineness of any such document or copy thereof reasonably believed in good faith by the Subadministrator to have been validly executed;

(iv)

any signature, instruction, request, letter of transmittal, certificate, opinion of counsel, statement, instrument, report, notice, consent, order, or other document reasonably believed in good faith by the Subadministrator to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Administrator or the Funds or other proper party or parties; or

(v)

any electronic instructions from the Administrator, the Trusts or the Funds in conformity with security procedures established by the Subadministrator from time to time in order to (x) effect the transfer or movement of cash or shares or (y) transmit shareholder information or other information.

(e) In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party’s prior written consent.

(f) The Subadministrator’s liability to the Administrator and any other Person for any losses or damages in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement shall be limited to those actual and direct damages that are reasonably incurred by the Administrator, the Trusts and the Funds and shall not exceed the fees paid by the Administrator in respect of the Services during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding the date of the event giving rise to the claim. In any event, none of the Subadministrator, the Trust, Funds, or the Administrator will be liable for: (i) special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages of any Person, including, without limitation, any loss of profits, loss of business, interruption of business or third parties damages; (ii) any claim arising from the Administrator’s or the Subadministrator’s (as applicable) failure to perform its responsibilities as specified in this Agreement; (iii) any claim against any other party (including, without limitation, any shareholder); or (iv) any claim resulting from the failure of any third party communication or transmission devices, but only to the extent beyond such Party’s reasonable control. This Section 3(f) states the Subadministrator’s sole liability and the Administrator’s, the Trusts’ and Funds’ exclusive remedy with respect to the services provided hereunder.

SECTION 4. LIMITATION OF SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY

The Subadministrator acknowledges and agrees that the members of the Boards and the shareholders of the Funds shall not be liable under this Agreement for any obligations of the Administrator, any Trust, any Fund or any other series of any Trust, and the Subadministrator agrees that, in asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement, it shall look only to the Administrator. Further, no Fund shall be liable for the obligations of any other Fund.

SECTION 5. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES

(a) For the services provided by the Subadministrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall pay the Subadministrator, with respect to each Fund, a fee at the annual rate stated for the Fund in Schedule A hereto (the “Fee Schedule”). Such fees shall be accrued by the Administrator daily and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each calendar month for services performed under this Agreement during the prior calendar month. If fees begin to accrue in the middle of a month or if this Agreement terminates before the end of any month, all fees for the period from that date to the end of that month or from the beginning of that month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion that the period bears to the full month in which the effectiveness or termination occurs. Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, the Administrator shall pay to the Subadministrator such compensation as shall be payable prior to the effective date of termination.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Subadministrator and its affiliated Persons may receive compensation or reimbursement from the Administrator with respect to (i) the provision of services not covered by this Agreement on behalf of the Funds, (ii) the provision of shareholder support or other services not covered by this Agreement, and (iii) service as a director, manager or trustee of a Fund.

(c) In connection with the services provided by the Subadministrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator agrees to reimburse the Subadministrator for the expenses set forth in the Fee Schedule. In addition, the Administrator shall reimburse the Subadministrator for all expenses and employee time (at 150% of salary) attributable to any review, outside of routine and normal periodic reviews or other reviews provided for under this Agreement, of the Funds’ accounts and records by the Funds’ independent accountants or any regulatory body of which the Funds are first notified and that are not attributable to any negligent action or inaction of the Subadministrator.

(d) The Subadministrator may, with respect to questions of law relating to its services hereunder and with the Administrator’s consent, apply to and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to the Funds or counsel to the Administrator. The costs of any such advice or opinion of counsel to the Funds shall be borne by the Administrator, and the Subadministrator shall notify the Administrator of any such advice and shall cooperate with the Administrator to ensure that such costs are reasonable.

(ii)

for cause at any time by the non-breaching party on at least sixty (60) days’ written notice thereof to the other party, if the other party has materially breached any of its obligations hereunder including, with respect to the Subadministrator, the failure by the Subadministrator to act consistently with the Standard of Care set forth in Section 3(a); provided, however, that (i) the termination notice shall describe the breach, and (ii) no such termination shall be effective if, with respect to any breach that is capable of being cured prior to the date set forth in the termination notice, the breaching party has cured such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching party.

(d) Upon notice of termination by either party of this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to any Fund or any Service provided to any Fund, the Subadministrator shall promptly transfer to any successor service providers the original or copies of all books and records maintained by the Subadministrator under this Agreement including, in the case of records maintained on computer systems, copies of such records in commercially reasonable, machine-readable form, and shall cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, the successor service provider(s) in the establishment of the books and records necessary to carry out the successor service providers’ responsibilities.

(e) The provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 7. ACTIVITIES OF THE SUBADMINISTRATOR
