WHEREAS, the Manager and the Company desire to retain the Adviser to render investment management services to the Company as described in the Trust's registration statement on Form N-1A as amended from time to time, and the Adviser is willing to render such services;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Duties of the Adviser. The Manager and the Company appoint the Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of such portion, if any, of the Company’s assets as is designated by the Manager from time to time, and, with respect to such assets, to continuously review, supervise, and administer the investment program of the Company, to determine in the Adviser's discretion the assets to be purchased or sold, to provide the Manager and the Company with records concerning the Adviser's activities which the Company is required to maintain, and to render regular reports to the Manager and to the Company’s officers and Company Board concerning the Adviser's discharge of the foregoing responsibilities. The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities (1) in conformity with all applicable securities law, including but not limited to the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act, the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), (2) subject to the Manager's oversight and the control of the officers and Company Board and in compliance with such policies as the Company Board may from time to time establish, (3) in compliance with the objectives, policies, and limitations for the Company set forth in the Trust's current registration statement as amended from time to time and applicable laws and regulations, and (4) in compliance with such other investment guidelines or restrictions established from time to time by the Manager or the Company and agreed to by the Adviser which shall be communicated in writing by the Manager to Adviser in advance. The Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services for the compensation specified herein and to provide at its own expense the office space, furnishings and equipment and the personnel required by it to perform the services on the terms and for the compensation provided herein. With respect to any of the Company assets allocated for management by the Adviser, the Manager will make the investment decisions with respect to any residual cash in the Company. The Manager agrees to provide this service. The Adviser has categorized the Company as a professional client (as defined in the rules, guidance, principles and codes comprised in the Handbook of Rules and Guidance issued by the FCA (the “FCA Rules”)) and the Adviser will provide its services hereunder on that basis. The Company has the right to request that the Adviser categorize it as a retail client (as defined in the FCA Rules) either generally or in specific circumstances. However, it is the Adviser’s policy not to agree to such requests from its clients. The Manager will instruct the Company’s custodian(s) to hold and/or transfer the Company’s assets in accordance with Proper Instructions received from the Adviser. (For this purpose, the term "Proper Instructions" shall have the meaning(s) specified in the applicable agreement(s) between the Company and its custodian(s), but generally refers to a writing by the representatives of the Adviser who have been authorized by the Company’s Board from time to time to provide instructions to the Company’s custodian. For the purpose of clarification, “Proper Instructions” can be instructions in any format, including without limitation, electronic instructions that are agreed upon in writing by the Adviser and the Company’s custodian.)

The Adviser is authorized on behalf of the Company, and consistent with the investment discretion delegated to the Adviser herein, to: (i) negotiate the terms of any documents including without limitation, futures and options transactions, brokerage agreements, clearing agreements, account documentation, futures and option agreements, swap agreements, and other investment related agreements required to meet the obligations of the Trust with respect to any investments made for the Company. Such documentation includes but may not be limited to any market and/or industry standard documentation and the standard representations contained therein. The Adviser is authorized on behalf of Manager to make all elections required in such agreements, instruments and documentation and make and to receive all related notices from brokers or other counterparties. Manager also authorizes Adviser as agent and attorney-in-fact to make transactions in futures contracts and options on futures contracts on margin, for the Company, and authorizes each broker with whom Adviser makes such transactions to follow its instructions with respect to such transactions. Manager understands and agrees that Adviser will determine that such transactions are permitted before instructing a broker to enter into such transactions and that any broker receiving an order for any such transaction will have no independent obligation to ensure that the transactions are consistent with the Trust’s registration statement or the Company’s investment guidelines; and (ii) acknowledge the receipt of brokers’ risk disclosure statements, electronic trading disclosure statements and similar disclosures, provided, however, that (a) the Adviser shall be responsible for ensuring that any such representations are consistent with the Company’s investment policies and other governing documents with respect to the investment policies and governing documents applicable to the investments managed by the Adviser; (b) with the reasonable assistance of the Manager, the Adviser shall be responsible for providing all notifications and delivering all documents required to be provided or delivered by the Company under such documentation; and (c) the Adviser shall promptly notify the Manager of any event of default, potential event of default that in the Adviser’s sole discretion is likely to occur or termination event affecting a the Company under such documentation. The Adviser further shall have the authority to instruct the custodian to: (i) pay cash for property delivered for the Company, (ii) deliver or accept delivery of, upon receipt of payment or payment upon receipt of, commodities or other property underlying any futures or options contracts, and other property purchased or sold for the Company ; (iii) deposit margin or collateral which shall include the transfer of money or other property to the extent necessary to meet the obligations of the Company with respect to any investments made pursuant to the Trust’s registration statement, provided, however, that unless otherwise approved by the Manager, any such deposit of margin or collateral shall be effected by transfer or segregation within an account maintained for the Company by its custodian subject to control agreement, acceptable in form and substance to the Manager, pursuant to which such custodian agrees and accepts entitlement, orders or instructions from the secured party with respect to such margin or collateral. The Adviser shall not have the authority to cause the Manager or the Company to deliver property or pay cash to the Adviser. The Adviser will not be responsible for the cost of brokerage commissions or any other Trust expenses except as specified in this Agreement.

The Adviser shall not delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement with respect to its discretionary investment and advisory functions without the prior written consent of the Manager and the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, however, the Adviser may, at its own discretion, perform any or all of its duties, rights, powers, functions and obligations with respect to activities other than discretionary investment and advisory functions hereunder through one or more of its affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees (each, an “Associate”) without the consent of the Manager or the Company; provided that (i) the Adviser shall always remain responsible to the Manager and the Company for the Adviser’s obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Adviser shall be responsible for ensuring that each Associate complies with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) the Adviser shall compensate its Associates out of the fees it receives hereunder.

(b) Valuation. In accordance with procedures and methods established by the Company Board, which may be amended from time to time, the Adviser will provide assistance to the Manager in determining the fair value of all investments made by the Adviser and owned by the Company, and use reasonable efforts to arrange for the provision of valuation information or prices from parties independent of the Adviser with respect to the investments owned by the Company for which market prices are not readily available. The Adviser, to the extent that it becomes aware of potentially significant events that could affect the values of the investments owned by the Company, will notify the Manager when, in the Adviser’s opinion, such event has occurred and may not be reflected in the market values of such investments. The Adviser will maintain adequate records with respect to valuation information provided hereunder, and shall provide such information to Manager upon request.

The Adviser shall maintain such registration or license in effect and in good standing at all times during the term of this Agreement;

Except as provided by or pursuant to this Agreement, the prospectus, the Investment Company Act, or the investment guidelines, there will be no restrictions on the extent of the Adviser’s investment discretion. Further, the Company and the Manager acknowledge the risks set forth in the prospectus regarding the Adviser’s investment program.

2. Company Transactions. The Adviser is authorized to select the brokers or dealers and futures commission merchants (including, to the extent permitted by law and applicable Company guidelines, the Adviser or any of its affiliates) that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio assets for the Company and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain best execution as described in the Trust's current registration statement as amended from time to time. In selecting brokers or dealers, the Adviser may give consideration to factors other than price, including, but not limited to, research services and market information. Any such services or information which the Adviser receives in connection with activities for the Company may also be used for the benefit of other clients and customers of the Adviser or any of its affiliates. The Adviser will promptly communicate to the Manager and to the officers and Company Board such information relating to Company transactions as they may reasonably request. The Adviser shall not, without the prior approval of the Manager, effect any transactions which would cause the portion of the Company’s assets designated to the Adviser to be out of compliance with any restrictions or policies of the Company established by the Manager or set forth in the Trust’s registration statement.

3. Voting Rights. Unless otherwise directed by the Manager, the Adviser shall receive and exercise the voting rights with respect to any and all proxies regarding the assets in the Company in the best interest of Company shareholders and in accordance with the Adviser’s then current proxy voting policy and procedures, a copy of which has been provided to the Manager. The Adviser shall report to the Manager in a timely manner a record of all proxies voted, in such form and format that complies with acceptable federal statutes and regulations (e.g., requirements of Form N-PX), including a record of all proxies not voted and/or voted inconsistently with Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. The Adviser shall certify at least annually, or more often as may reasonably be requested by the Manager, as to the compliance of its proxy voting policies and procedures with applicable federal statutes and regulations.

The Manager reserves the right to exercise voting rights on any assets held in the Company on an individual security or ongoing basis.

4. Compensation of the Adviser. The Adviser, in recognition of the value of the compensation paid to it for services provided to the Fund, will receive no compensation for the services to be rendered by the Adviser hereunder.

The Adviser shall bear all expenses incurred by it and its staff with respect to all activities in connection with the performance of the Adviser’s services under this Agreement, including but not limited to salaries, benefits, overhead, travel, and preparation of reports. Upon request by the Manager, Adviser agrees to reimburse the Manager for costs associated with certain supplements to the Fund’s disclosure documents (“Supplements”). Such Supplements are those generated due to changes by Adviser requiring prompt disclosure in the Trust’s prospectus, statement of additional information, and/or information statement and for which, at the time of notification by Adviser to Manager of such changes, the Trust is not already generating a supplement for other purposes or for which the Manager may not be able to reasonably add such changes to a pending supplement. Such changes by Adviser include, but are not limited to, changes to its structure, to key investment personnel, to investment style or management. Adviser shall reimburse the Manager or the Trust, as applicable, for all of the costs associated with generating such Supplements, and/or any required Company or Trust Board and/or proxy expenses related to approving a change in control of the Adviser. Reimbursable costs may include, but are not limited to, costs of preparation, filing, printing, postage, and/or distribution of such Supplements to all existing Fund shareholders.

5. Other Services. At the request of the Company or the Manager, the Adviser in its discretion may make available to the Company office facilities, equipment, personnel, and other services. Such office facilities, equipment, personnel and services shall be provided for or rendered by the Adviser and billed to the Company or the Manager at a price to be agreed upon by the Adviser and the Company or the Manager.

6. Reports. The Manager (on behalf of the Company) and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other, if applicable, current Trust prospectuses, statements of additional information, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, certified copies of their financial statements, and such other information with regard to their affairs as each may reasonably request.

7. Status of Adviser. The services of the Adviser to the Company are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired thereby. The Adviser shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Manager or the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Manager or the Company.

8. Certain Records. Any records required to be maintained and preserved pursuant to the provisions of Rule 31a-1 and Rule 31a-2 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, CFTC Regulations 4.23 and 4.33 or the Derivatives Recordkeeping and Reporting Rules that are prepared or maintained by the Adviser on behalf of the Manager or the Company are the property of the Manager or the Company and will be surrendered promptly to the Manager or the Company on request, provided that the Adviser shall be entitled to retain a copy of such records if it is legally required to do so. Adviser authorizes Manager’s use of the Adviser’s service marks and/or trademarks in connection with the marketing of the Fund, including but not limited to, the Fund’s registration statements and fact sheets. In addition, the Manager acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights in or to the Adviser’s name beyond the limited use rights granted herein.

9. Liability. The Adviser shall have no liability to the Company, its shareholders, the Manager or any third party arising out of or related to this Agreement, provided however, the Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, the Manager, any affiliated person within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act, and each person, if any, who, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, controls the Manager, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses), to which the Manager or such affiliated person or controlling person may become subject under the securities or commodities laws, any other federal or state law, at common law or otherwise, arising out of the Adviser’s responsibilities to the Company which may be based upon any willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of, the Adviser’s obligations and/or duties under this Agreement, relating to its trading activities or information provided to the Manager regarding the Adviser, by the Adviser or by any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or any affiliate acting on behalf of the Adviser. The U.S. federal and state securities laws impose liabilities on persons who act in good faith, and therefore, nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit the obligations of the Adviser under such laws.

Neither the Manager nor the Company shall have any liability to the Adviser or any third party arising out of or related to this Agreement, provided however, the Manager and the Company agree to indemnify and hold harmless, the Adviser against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses), to which the Adviser may become subject under the securities or commodities laws, any other federal or state law, at common law or otherwise, arising out of the Manager’s or the Company’s responsibilities to the Adviser which may be based upon any willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of, the Manager’s or the Company’s obligations and/or duties under this Agreement by either of the Manager or the Company or by any of their directors, officers, employees, agents, or any affiliate acting on behalf of either.

The indemnification in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10. Permissible Interests. To the extent permitted by law, directors, agents, and shareholders of the Company are or may be interested in the Adviser (or any successor thereof) as directors, partners, officers, or shareholders, or otherwise; directors, partners, officers, agents, and shareholders of the Adviser are or may be interested in the Company as directors, shareholders or otherwise; and the Adviser (or any successor thereof) is or may be interested in the Company as a shareholder or otherwise; provided that all such interests shall be fully disclosed between the parties on an ongoing basis and in the Trust's registration statement as required by law.
