WHEREAS, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisors (other than AEM) previously entered into that certain Master Sub-Advisory Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2013 (the “Original Master Sub-Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investment Manager retained the Sub-Advisors (other than AEM), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Master Sub-Advisory Agreement, to sub-advise an investment portfolio of one or more of such Company accounts (the portion of the accounts sub-advised by the Sub-Advisor, together with all additions, substitutions and alterations thereto, are individually referred to as an “Account” and, collectively, referred to herein as the “Accounts”);

WHEREAS, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisors desire to amend and restate the Original Master Sub-Advisory Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

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

1.Appointment of Sub-Advisors.

(a)    From time to time, as the Investment Manager and the applicable Sub-Advisors shall agree, the Investment Manager shall designate and appoint one or more Sub-Advisors (acting individually or jointly as the parties may agree), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as a sub-investment advisor for one or more Accounts with authority to make recommendations to the Investment Manager with respect to the investment and reinvestment of

the funds and assets of such Account or Accounts, and the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) shall accept such appointment. In addition, the Investment Manager and one or more Sub-Advisors may execute an addendum governing the terms of the sub-advisory services to be provided with respect to any Company, which addendum may, among other things and subject to Section 3(a), supplement or modify the terms of this Agreement relating to such Company’s Account or Accounts (including, without limitation, terms relating to management services, investment guidelines and/or management fees) on terms mutually acceptable to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) (each such Addendum, including any schedules thereto, an “Addendum”). The parties intend that each Addendum shall be substantially in the form of the Master Sub-Advisory Agreement Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit A or as otherwise may be agreed upon among the applicable parties.

(b)    From time to time, the Investment Manager may designate and appoint additional sub-advisors for one or more Accounts with authority to make recommendations to the Investment Manager with respect to the investment and reinvestment of the funds and assets of such Account or Accounts. Any such designation and appointment shall be effective upon the execution by the Investment Manager and such additional sub-advisor(s) of an Addendum setting forth the terms of the sub-advisory services to be provided by such sub-advisor(s). Following the execution of any such Addendum, each such additional sub-advisor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Advisor for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c)    Within a reasonable time after the appointment or termination of any Sub-Advisor with respect to any particular Company, and after the execution of each Addendum, if any, Schedule 1 attached hereto shall be amended to reflect such appointment (by addition to such Schedule) or termination (by deletion from such Schedule), as the case may be, it being understood that Schedule 1 is solely for the convenience of the parties and shall not be evidence of, or precondition for, any such appointment or termination. The Sub-Advisors agree that Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time by the Investment Manager upon written notice to the Sub-Advisors for the purpose of adding additional insurance companies and/or accounts thereto, and, following any such amendment, (i) each such additional insurance company shall be deemed to be a Company for all purposes of this Agreement and (ii) each such additional account shall be deemed to be an Account for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.Management Services; Duties of and Restrictions on Sub-Advisors.

(a)    For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the powers conferred upon it by Section 1, the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) shall be responsible for making recommendations for the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each Account. The Sub-Advisors shall make recommendations to the Investment Manager, and the Investment Manager shall approve or decline such recommendations in its sole discretion. The Sub-Advisors shall be responsible for facilitating execution (through third party brokers or other agents or as otherwise permitted hereby) of any approved investment recommendations in accordance with this Agreement and any instructions provided by the Investment Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Advisors may only execute (or facilitate execution of) transactions in an Account pursuant to this Agreement with the prior consent of the Investment Manager (subject

to Section 2(k) below). The Investment Manager shall be responsible for ensuring that any transaction approved by the Investment Manager is permissible under any investment guidelines agreed upon between the Investment Manager and the applicable Company. Where the prior consent of the Investment Manager is required prior to the Sub-Advisor taking any action under this Agreement, the Investment Manager’s written or verbal consent (including consent by electronic mail) shall suffice, unless the express language of this Agreement requires the Investment Manager’s consent in writing, in which case only the signed consent of the Investment Manager shall suffice. Where verbal consent for a particular trade is given by the Investment Manager, and provided that the applicable Sub-Advisor provides normal documentary evidence of such trade on the trade date (i.e., via trade ticket, trade confirmation, trade blotter excerpt or similar means provided in the normal course), the Investment Manager’s consent with respect to such trade shall be deemed evidenced by the absence of the Investment Manager’s objection to such trade in writing (including by electronic mail) prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the second business day following the trade date and (ii) the settlement date.

(b)    Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2(a) and 2(h), the Sub-Advisors have authority: (i) to buy, sell, sell short, hold and trade, on margin or otherwise and in or on any market or exchange within or outside the United States or otherwise, securities convertible into preferred or common stock of domestic and foreign issuers, debt securities of domestic and foreign governmental issuers (including federal, state and municipal issuers) and domestic and foreign corporate issuers, investment company securities, money-market securities, partnership interests, mortgage- and asset- backed securities (including, without limitation, collateralized loan obligations and other collateralized debt obligations), foreign currencies and currency forwards, futures contracts and options thereon, bank and debtor-in-possession loans, trade receivables, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, commercial paper, other securities, futures and derivatives (including interest rate and currency swaps, swaptions, caps, collars and floors), rights and options on all of the foregoing and other investments, assets or property; and (ii) to effect such other investment transactions involving the assets in an Account’s name and solely for such Account, including without limitation, to execute swap, futures, options and other agreements with counterparties. Without the prior written consent of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisor shall not open or close any accounts on a Company’s behalf.

(c)    With respect to each Account advised by such Sub-Advisor, such Sub-Advisor will have the authority to exercise any voting rights relating to assets of such Account. Upon receipt of the Investment Manager’s prior verbal or written consent, each Sub-Advisor shall be authorized to exercise rights, options, warrants, conversion privileges, and redemption privileges, and to tender securities pursuant to a tender offer, in each case, with respect to such Account. Each Sub-Advisor shall have the authority to exercise, on behalf of each Account managed by such Sub-Advisor, all rights, remedies and obligations associated with assets held in such Account. Each Sub-Advisor shall have the authority to execute trade confirmations, trade tickets, purchase orders, assignment agreements, engagement letters, amendments, forbearance agreements and all other documents related to the purchase, sale, amendment, restructuring or insolvency of assets of an Account managed by such Sub-Advisor; provided that, any exercise of such authority which would result in a conversion or transfer of an asset shall be subject to the prior verbal or written consent of the Investment Manager.

(d)    Subject to each respective Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Account, the Investment Manager may rebalance or reallocate assets among such Account in its discretion (or between the Accounts and any other accounts of any Company or other clients of the Investment Manager sub-advised by any Sub-Advisor) and will provide the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) with notice of any such rebalancings or reallocations.

(e)    The Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) will reasonably cooperate with the Investment Manager to the limited extent necessary for the Investment Manager to perform such ongoing due diligence reasonably relating to each Account and the Sub-Advisors as the Investment Manager reasonably deems necessary or advisable, provided, that such cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to the Sub-Advisors and any cost or expense associated therewith shall be paid by the Investment Manager.

(f)    No Sub-Advisor may retain any sub-advisors or otherwise delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to each Account managed by such Sub-Advisor without the prior written consent of the Investment Manager; provided that each Sub-Advisor may delegate any of its obligations to its affiliates without the prior consent of the Investment Manager; and provided further that, notwithstanding any delegation permitted pursuant to this Section 2(f), such Sub-Advisor shall always remain responsible to the Investment Manager for such Sub-Advisor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Company’s Account.

(g)    With the written consent of the Investment Manager, each Sub-Advisor shall have the authority to engage such attorneys, accountants and other professionals or advisors as may be necessary or advisable in the discharge of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(h)    Unless otherwise allowed by an Addendum with respect to a particular Company, none of the Sub-Advisors shall enter into, whether in the name, and on behalf, of any Company or otherwise, any over-the-counter, exchange-traded and other derivative transactions (including any and all contracts or agreements related thereto) in respect of any Accounts without the prior written consent of the Investment Manager (which written consent may be conveyed via electronic mail).

(i)    None of the Sub-Advisors shall make a claim for exemption from U.S. withholding tax to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on the basis that income of any Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, nor shall any Sub-Advisor file a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W8-ECI (or any successor form) on behalf of any Company with any withholding agent.

(j)    Each Sub-Advisor shall promptly notify the Investment Manager upon its actual knowledge of the occurrence of any event which in the reasonable opinion of such Sub-Advisor would have a materially adverse impact on the ability of such Sub-Advisor to manage each Account sub-advised by such Sub-Advisor.

(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Investment Manager may enter into an arrangement with a Sub-Advisor, either pursuant to an Addendum or other written arrangement, whereby the Sub-Advisor would have discretion with respect to certain

transactions other than as set forth in Section 2(a), such as to execute certain transactions for the Accounts without seeking prior consent from the Investment Manager so long as they fit within certain prescribed guidelines or a particular set of issuers, or some other similar agreement; provided that the Investment Manager may revoke such investment discretion at any time upon notice to such Sub-Advisor.

(l)    Each Sub-Advisor agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause its portfolio managers to trade within the Investment Manager’s systems environment, including staging such trades prior to execution.

(m)    Each Sub-Advisor and the Investment Manager agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop an investment policy statement (an “Investment Policy Statement”) mutually agreed upon by such Sub-Advisor and the Investment Manager with respect to such Sub-Advisor’s asset class and such Investment Policy Statement shall generally include, without limitation, policy statements with respect to such Sub-Advisor’s investment strategy, applicable index (“Index”), investment objectives (including benchmarks), investment constraints and reporting procedures (provided that such reporting procedures shall comply with Section 15 below).

3.Compensation; Expenses.

(a)    Except as otherwise set forth in any Addendum entered into in respect of any Account, the Investment Manager agrees to pay the Sub-Advisors a management fee (“Management Fee”) for the services provided pursuant to this Agreement, calculated and paid (A) with respect to each Sub-Advisor, other than with respect to third party CLO equity managed accounts, in accordance with Schedule 2-1 attached hereto (as amended from time to time), (B) with respect to assets purchased by ALL prior to the Effective Date, in accordance with Schedule 2-2 attached hereto (as amended from time to time), (C) with respect to third party CLO equity managed accounts, in accordance with Schedule 2-3 hereto (as amended from time to time). The Management Fee described in Schedule 2-1 and Schedule 2-3, respectively, shall be allocated among the Sub-Advisors as such Sub-Advisors shall determine. Such Management Fee may be amended by an Addendum signed by the Investment Manager and the applicable Sub-Advisor without the consent of the Iowa Insurance Division (the “Division”), provided that such amended Management Fee shall be reimbursed to the Investment Manager by the applicable Company only to the extent such Management Fees have been approved by the Division.

(b)    Each Sub-Advisor will be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under this Agreement except, for the avoidance of doubt, Account Trading and Investment Expenses, which shall be paid by each respective Company out of the assets of the Account of such Company.

(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Account Trading and Investment Expenses” shall mean all brokerage fees, brokerage commissions and all other brokerage transaction costs, stock borrowing and lending fees, interest on cash balances, custodial fees, reasonable transaction legal expenses, regulatory fees or taxes payable in respect of the Account, professional expenses (including fees in connection with the use of proxy voting services) and any other fees

and expenses related to the trading and investment activity of the Account as determined by the Sub-Advisors in good faith; provided that such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any services provided by the Investment Managers or agents, brokers, advisors or professionals engaged in any capacity by the Investment Manager.

4.Custodian.

(a)The assets of each Account shall be held by a trustee, custodian or securities intermediary that is a “qualified custodian” as defined in Rule 206(4)–2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 duly appointed by each Company (the “Custodian”), and each Sub-Advisor is authorized to give instructions to the Custodian, in writing, with respect to all investment decisions regarding each Account managed by such Sub-Advisor. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Sub-Advisors to take or receive physical possession of any of the assets for the Account and no Sub-Advisor shall have custody or possession of any such assets, it being intended that sole responsibility for safekeeping thereof (in such investments as the Investment Manager or the Sub-Advisors may direct) and the consummation of all purchases, sales, deliveries and investments made pursuant to such Sub-Advisor’s direction shall rest upon the Custodian. The Custodian may be changed with respect to any Company’s Account from time to time upon the written instructions of such Company, subject to any required consents.

(b)Except as expressly provided herein, a Sub-Advisor may not withdraw or substitute funds or other assets from any Account managed by it without the approval of the Custodian (which approval may be subject to the further approval of the applicable Company (as the case may be) and/or the Investment Manager).

(c)Each Company shall instruct the Custodian to send the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) duplicate copies of all Account statements given to such Company by the Custodian.

5.Brokerage. The Sub-Advisors may designate the brokers or dealers through whom all purchases and sales on behalf of each Account will be made. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such brokers or dealers may include affiliates of the Sub-Advisors. The Sub-Advisors will determine the rate or rates, if any, to be paid for brokerage services provided to each Account. In selecting brokers or dealers to effect transactions on behalf of any Account, the Sub-Advisors, subject to their overall duty to obtain “best execution” of Account transactions, will have authority to and may consider the full range and quality of the ability of the brokers or dealers to execute transactions efficiently, their responsiveness to each Sub-Advisor’s instructions, their facilities, reliability and financial responsibility and the value of any research or other services or products they provide. None of the Sub-Advisors will be obligated to seek in advance competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any particular transaction for any Account or to select any broker-dealer on the basis of its purported posted commission rate. As long as the services or other products provided by a particular broker or dealer (whether directly or through a third party) qualify as “brokerage and research” services within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) interpretations of that section) and the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) determine in good faith that the amount of commission charged by such broker or

dealer is reasonable in relation to the value of such “brokerage and research services,” the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) may utilize the services of that broker or dealer to execute transactions for each Account on an agency basis even if (i) such Account would incur higher transaction costs than it would have incurred had another broker or dealer been used and (ii) such Account does not necessarily benefit from the research or products provided by that broker or dealer.

6.Limitation of Liability.

(a)    None of the Sub-Advisors guarantee the future performance of any Account or any specific level of performance, the success of any investment decision or strategy that any Sub-Advisor may use, or the success of any Sub-Advisor’s overall management of any Account. None of the Sub-Advisors provide any express or implied warranty as to the performance or profitability of the Account nor any part thereof nor that any specific investment objectives will be successfully met. Investment decisions made by any Sub-Advisor on behalf of any Account managed by such Sub-Advisor are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and those investment decisions will not always be profitable. The Sub-Advisors shall be severally and not jointly liable for their respective obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.

(b)    To the maximum extent permitted by law, none of the Sub-Advisors, any affiliate of the Sub-Advisors or any member, partner, shareholder, principal, director, officer, employee or agent of the Sub-Advisors or any such affiliate (each, a “Sub-Advisor Party”) shall be liable for any loss, liability or damage (including attorney’s fees and other related expenses) (“Losses”) resulting from: (i) any act or failure to act by the Custodian, any administrator or any broker or dealer; or (ii) any act or omission by any Sub-Advisor or any permitted Sub-Advisor in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement (including any Addendum hereto), except in cases of willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or reckless disregard by any Sub-Advisor or any permitted Sub-Advisor of its obligations and duties under this Agreement (including any Addendum hereto). Except as expressly set forth above, none of the Sub-Advisors shall have liability for any Losses suffered, and shall be fully indemnified by the Investment Manager for any Losses it may suffer, as the result of any actions it takes or does not take based on instructions or permissions received from any of the authorized persons of the Investment Manager reasonably believed by such Sub-Advisor to be genuine. Each Sub-Advisor may consult with legal counsel at its cost and expense (without limiting the reimbursement provisions set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth in Section 3(b)) concerning any question which may arise with reference to this Agreement or its duties hereunder, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete protection with respect to, and none of the Sub-Advisors shall have liability for any Losses suffered as a result of, any action taken or suffered by any Sub-Advisor hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. Under no circumstances shall any Sub-Advisor be liable for any special, incidental, exemplary, consequential, punitive, lost profits or indirect damages.

(c)    The federal and state securities laws may impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing in this Agreement will

7.Termination.

(c)    Upon receipt of a termination notice from the Investment Manager, or delivery of a termination notice by any Sub-Advisor, such Sub-Advisor shall, at the reasonable request of the Investment Manager, continue to perform its functions under this Agreement or in respect of such terminated Account, and shall be entitled to receive the requisite portion of any fees due (including Management Fees) until a successor has been appointed, provided that such Sub-Advisor shall not be required to perform its functions after ninety (90) days from the receipt of a termination notice.

(d)    Section 6 of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination hereof or the invalidation of any provision contained herein.

(d)    The Investment Manager understands that each Sub-Advisor will continue to furnish investment management and advisory services to others, and that each Sub-Advisor shall be at all times free, in its discretion, to make recommendations to others which may be the same as, or may be different from or inconsistent with, those made to each Account. The Investment Manager further understands that the Sub-Advisor Parties may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale any Sub-Advisor may recommend. Actions with respect to securities of the same kind may be the same as or different from or inconsistent with the action which the Sub-Advisor Parties or other investors may take with respect thereto. Furthermore, the Investment Manager understands and agrees that each Sub-Advisor Party shall have the right to engage, directly or indirectly, in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as any Sub-Advisor and any other Sub-Advisor Party and no knowledge or expertise of any Sub-Advisor Parties or any opportunities available to such Sub-Advisor Parties shall be imputed to any Sub-Advisor or any other Sub-Advisor Parties.

(e)    The Investment Manager agrees that each Sub-Advisor may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of the Sub-Advisor Parties are directors or officers, or companies as to which the Sub-Advisor Parties have any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information, unless such Sub-Advisor either determines in good faith that it may appropriately do so without disclosing such conflict to the Investment Manager and any applicable Company or discloses such conflict to the Investment Manager and such Company prior to rendering such advice or services with respect to any Account.

(f)    From time to time, when determined by any Sub-Advisor to be in the best interest of any Company and with the prior approval of the Investment Manager, the Account in respect of such Company may purchase securities from or sell securities to another account (including, without limitation, public or private collective investment vehicles) managed, maintained or trusteed by such Sub-Advisor or an affiliate at prevailing market levels in accordance with applicable law and utilizing such pricing methodology determined to be fair and equitable to such Company in such Sub-Advisor’s reasonable judgment.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Sub-Advisors shall be under any obligation to effect trades or satisfy any other obligation required of it herein if such Sub-Advisor determines that such transactions might be adverse to the interests of clients managed by such Sub-Advisor or its affiliates. Each Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to consider its fiduciary duties to all clients that hold parallel positions in the securities to be sold or distributed, if any. In the event that, in accordance with this provision, a Sub-Advisor declines to follow the instructions of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisor will notify the Investment Manager of such conflict and its decision with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sub-Advisor determines not to follow the direction of the Investment Manager, nothing herein shall prevent the Investment Manager from immediately making a full or partial withdrawal from the applicable Account(s) and proceeding with the relevant course of action on its own.

18.    Aggregation and Allocation of Orders.

(a)    The Investment Manager acknowledges that circumstances may arise under which a Sub-Advisor determines that, while it would be both desirable and suitable that a particular security or other investment be purchased or sold for the account of more than one of such Sub-Advisor’s clients’ accounts, there is a limited supply or demand for the security or other investment. Under such circumstances, the Investment Manager acknowledges that, while such Sub-Advisor will seek to allocate the opportunity to purchase or sell that security or other investment among those accounts on an equitable basis, such Sub-Advisor shall not be required to assure equality of treatment among all of its clients (including that the opportunity to purchase or sell that security or other investment will be proportionally allocated among those clients according to any particular or predetermined standards or criteria). Where, because of prevailing market conditions, it is not possible to obtain the same price or time of execution for all of the securities or other investments purchased or sold for each Account (or for the other accounts advised or sub-advised by such Sub-Advisor), such Sub-Advisor may average the various prices and charge or credit any Account with the average price.

(b)    It is each Sub-Advisor's general policy to allocate investment opportunities among investment funds and client accounts on a basis that such Sub-Advisor and its affiliates determine in good faith to be appropriate taking into consideration such factors as each client’s and investment fund's primary mandate, the relative amounts of capital available for investment (after taking into account applicable reserves), and any restrictions on investment, the sourcing of the transaction, the size of the transaction, the amount of potential follow-on investing strategy of the client or investment fund, reasons of portfolio balance, the nature and extent of involvement in the

transaction on the part of the respective teams of investment professionals and other factors deemed applicable by such Sub-Advisor and its affiliates in good faith.

19.    Sub-Advisors Independent. For all purposes of this Agreement, each Sub-Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall have no authority to act for, bind or represent the Investment Manager, any Company or any Company’s shareholders in any way, except as expressly provided herein, and shall not otherwise be deemed to be an agent of any Company. Nothing contained herein shall create or constitute any Sub-Advisor, the Investment Manager and/or any Company as a member of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, nor shall anything contained herein be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied, or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of any other person, except as expressly provided herein. Each Sub-Advisor shall be severally liable for its own obligations and the Investment Manager shall have no recourse to any Sub-Advisory for the actions or omissions of any other Sub-Advisor.

20.    Entire Agreement. Except for those documents, agreements or Addendums referred to herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes from and after the Effective Date all other prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than as expressed herein.

21.    Severability. To the extent this Agreement may be in conflict with any applicable law or regulation, this Agreement shall be construed to the greatest extent practicable in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. The invalidity or illegality of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to affect the validity or legality of any other provision of this Agreement.

22.    Counterparts; Amendment. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Except as set forth herein or in any Addendum, this Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an instrument in writing approved by the Commissioner and signed by the party to be bound or as may otherwise be provided for herein.

23.    Addendums. In the event that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisors (or any of them as the case may be) execute an Addendum to this Agreement, such Addendum shall be deemed to be attached to and become a part of this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement shall be amended, supplemented or modified by the terms of such Addendum as applicable. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and any Addendum, the terms and conditions contained in such Addendum shall control. Upon the execution by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisors (or any of them, as the case may be) of any Addendum, this “Agreement” shall be deemed to include the terms set forth in any such Addendum.

24.    No Recourse to Companies. Each Sub-Advisor acknowledges and agrees that such Sub-Advisor shall not have any recourse against any Company for any claims, losses,

damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations whatsoever in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder.

25.    Third-Party Beneficiary.     Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, each Sub-Advisor and the Investment Manager acknowledge and agree that each Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of each term and provision hereof and each term and provision of this Sub-Advisory Agreement may be enforced by the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the date and year first above written.

¹ For the avoidance of doubt but subject to Section 2(a), to the extent that a Sub-Adviser invests on behalf of the Account in an affiliate-managed CLO (a) to the extent that such investment is on a secondary basis in one of the debt and/or equity tranches of such CLO, the Account will be charged fees pursuant to this Schedule 2-1; and (b) to the extent that such investment is on a primary basis, the agreement governing the Account’s investment into the affiliate-managed CLO will govern the treatment of fees in such instance (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, this Schedule 2-1). In addition, the Investment Manager shall be responsible for any servicing fees associated with the sub-advised mortgage and mezzanine real estate loan portfolio.

² For the avoidance of doubt, this fee schedule does not apply to future or existing investments in Apollo funds (which as of the date hereof includes but is not limited to TRF, COF 3, EPFs, FCIs, all the ALM and ALME CLO sand related warehouses, the levered CMBS funds and APC), or to any investments made by Apollo Royalties Management LLC. Additionally, this fee schedule does not apply to investments in MCF CLO II (f/k/a Kirkwood), which is covered by Schedule 2-3 hereof). Fees with respect to the Third Party CLO Equity Managed Account are charged pursuant to Schedule 2-3, and the Project Orange Trade will be included in the Third Party CLO Equity Managed Account and charged accordingly.

⁴ “Assets Under Management” shall be calculated in the aggregate to include the investment assets of or relating to Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene”) and its subsidiaries, managed by ACM, AGREM, ARM, ALL, AEM or an affiliate thereof, whether under this Agreement or separate sub-advisory agreement with the Investment Manager, including cash and all assets in surplus accounts and funds withheld accounts, modified coinsurance accounts and reinsurance trusts supporting reinsurance agreements entered into by Athene and managed by ACM, AGREM, ARM, ALL and AEM. For the avoidance of doubt, Assets Under Management shall not include future or existing investments in Apollo managed funds (which as of the date hereof includes but is not limited to TRF, COF 3, EPFs, FCIs, all the ALM, ALME or other affiliated CLOs or CLO-sponsored vehicles and related warehouses, APC, the levered CMBS funds) or any investments made by Apollo Royalties Management LLC; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Account invests in any affiliated CLO or CLO-sponsored vehicle pursuant to which the Account is charged fees pursuant to this Section 2-1, such investment in such affiliated CLO or CLO-sponsored vehicle shall be included in Assets Under Management.

For the avoidance of doubt, the step-down in Management Fee Rate from 40 bps to 35 bps will only apply to the portion of Assets Under Management in excess of $10,000,000,000 based on the net asset value of the Accounts.

The “Average Month-End Net Asset Value” shall be the average of the month-end aggregate net asset value of the Accounts during the calendar quarter. If the period in respect of which a Management Fee is payable is less than a calendar quarter, then the Management Fee shall be pro rated accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, for a given month, Average Month-End Net Asset Value shall be calculated based on trade date holdings plus accrued interest.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) other than temporary impairments, determined by each applicable Client in accordance with such Client’s accounting policies and procedures, shall be treated as realized losses and (ii) the applicable Clients will not receive any unreturned Preferred Return with respect to any investment recommended by ALL from the Proceeds of any other investment recommended by ALL.

Upon termination of the Agreement, a clawback calculation will be completed based on the aggregate Proceeds received from all realized investments recommended by ALL pursuant hereto, and ALL shall be required to repay any Incentive Fee previously paid to ALL to the extent that any realized losses from investments recommended by ALL pursuant to this Schedule 2-2 remain unreturned to the applicable Clients upon such termination.

3. Incentive Fee. Incentive Fee will be paid quarterly in arrears. As referenced in Schedule 2.1, provisions governing incentive fees on existing assets remain intact and shall not be deemed amended by this Agreement. The Investment Manager and each Sub-Advisor may in addition agree in writing from time to time on an incentive fee with respect to particular investments or asset classes managed by such Sub-Advisor.

The “Average Month-End Net Asset Value” shall be the average of the month-end aggregate net asset value of the Accounts during the calendar quarter. If the period in respect of which a Management Fee is payable is less than a calendar quarter, then the Management Fee shall be pro rated accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, for a given month, Average Month-End Net Asset Value shall be calculated based on trade date holdings plus accrued interest.

CLO equity investments in Kirkwood III (MCF CLO II) (“Kirkwood”) shall be excluded for purposes of determining incentive fees payable above.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) other than temporary impairments, determined by each applicable Client in accordance with such Client’s accounting policies and procedures, shall be treated as realized losses and (ii) the applicable Clients will not receive any unreturned Preferred Return

with respect to any investment recommended by the applicable Sub-Advisor from the Proceeds of any other investment recommended by the applicable Sub-Advisor.

Upon termination of the Agreement, a clawback calculation will be completed based on the aggregate Proceeds received from all realized investments recommended by the applicable Sub-Advisor pursuant hereto, and the applicable Sub-Advisor shall be required to repay any Incentive Fee previously paid to the applicable Sub-Advisor to the extent that any realized losses from investments recommended by the applicable Sub-Advisor pursuant to this Schedule 2-3 remain unreturned to the applicable Clients upon such termination.

1.AEM Investment Discretion. In accordance with Section 2(k) of the Agreement AEM may execute (or facilitate execution of) transactions on behalf of one or more Accounts without the prior consent of the Investment Manager, so long as:

(a)    immediately after giving effect to such transactions, to the knowledge of AEM, the holdings of each Account for which AEM acts as Sub-Advisor is in compliance with these Investment Guidelines or as otherwise may be agreed in writing between the Investment Manager and AEM and subject to the terms of this Addendum (as amended or supplemented from time to time by agreement of the Investment Manager and AEM, the “Investment Guidelines”); and

(b)    the issuers in such transactions are included among the pre-approved list of issuers set forth in Schedule 4 attached hereto (as amended or supplemented from time to time by written agreement of the Investment Manager and AEM, the “Approved Issuers List”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Manager may revoke such investment discretion at any time upon notice to AEM. This Schedule 3 and the Schedule 4 attached to the Agreement may otherwise be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time as agreed to in writing solely by the Investment Manager and AEM without a formal amendment to the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, AEM shall be required to seek the written consent of the Investment Manager, to the extent practicable, prior to executing any transactions that do not comply with the Investment Guidelines or are not included among the pre-approved classes of transactions on the Approved Issuers List, and the Investment Manager shall approve, decline or ratify such transactions, as applicable, in its sole discretion.

2.Investment Guidelines.

The Investment Guidelines set forth herein may be amended or waived only by the agreement of AEM and the Investment Manager, and the Investment Manager may request AEM to make suitable modifications to this Schedule 3 to reflect any change in market or other circumstances; provided, that any modification to this Schedule 3 requested by the either party shall become effective only upon agreement by both parties. AEM shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with these Investment Guidelines during the initial ramp-up period commencing on the date of this Addendum and ending on January 31, 2015, but AEM shall not be required to be in compliance with these Investment Guidelines during such ramp-up period. All percentages set forth below are intended as “soft” limits and shall be measured at the time of acquisition of an asset only, based on market value, and therefore should be measured on an incurrence basis only. AEM shall be entitled to maintain or improve its position with respect to such limits after the time of acquisition of an asset.

AEM will invest primarily in the following emerging markets: Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Asia.

Credit Ratings. AEM will not invest in debt securities, measured at the time of acquisition, rated lower than Investment Grade. “Investment Grade” means an investment which is, (i) if rated by the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “SVO”), rated Class 1 or 2, and (ii)(A) if rated by one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (an “NRSRO”), rated investment grade by such NRSRO, (B) if rated by two NRSROs, rated investment grade by the NRSRO assigning the lower of the two ratings, or (C) if rated by three or more NRSROs, rated investment grade by the NRSRO assigning the second lowest rating of the NRSROs.

Sovereign bonds issued by the following countries and jurisdictions: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UAE

Within 25 days of the end of each calendar month, each Sub Advisor shall provide the Investment Manager with an exception report (“Exception Report”) detailing specific securities owned in the portfolio with relevant characteristics (e.g. par amount, ratings, etc.) that had their Index status affected during the month by upgrade (departing the Index). With respect to High Yield Assets, the Exception Report shall apply only to those securities being held in the applicable account that had their Index status affected by the ratings upgrade. Upgrades highlighted on the Exception Report, (securities moving from the Sub-Advisor’s Index to investment grade public credit) shall be transferred to the applicable investment grade public credit Sub-Advisor on the 1^st business day of the month following the upgrade.

 

Beginning no later than Q3 2014, within 10 business days following each calendar month-end, each Sub-Advisor shall provide a report to the Investment Manager with the following information:

In addition to above reporting requirements, each Sub-Advisor shall provide on a quarterly basis (generally via telephone or video) a review of economic and market commentary, strategy, performance and attribution with respect to such Sub-Advisor’s asset class. To the extent that the Investment Manager requests that the Sub-Adviser provide such reporting updates in person, the Investment Manager shall be responsible for the Sub-Adviser’s reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses related thereto.
