            WHEREAS, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has retained the Adviser to render investment management and administrative services pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2003, and amended as of October 1, 2005 and March 27, 2009, by and between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund;

            WHEREAS, the Adviser has retained RCM to provide investment advisory services to the Fund pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement, dated October 29, 2001, by and between the Adviser, RCM and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund;

WHEREAS, RCM (prior to its merger with AllianzGI US) was and each of the Adviser and AllianzGI US is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

            WHEREAS, the Adviser, AllianzGI US and the Trust each desire that AllianzGI US be substituted for RCM as the Trust’s investment subadviser under the Subadvisory Agreement in a transaction which does not result in a change of actual control or management of the adviser or subadviser to the Fund in accordance with Rule 2a-6 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is therefore not an “assignment” for purposes of Section 15(a)(4) of the 1940 Act; and

Novation and Acceptance. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, AllianzGI US, as successor to RCM, hereby effects a novation of the Subadvisory Agreement to substitute AllianzGI US for RCM as a party to such agreement (the “Novation”). The Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, each hereby consents to such Novation and hereby releases RCM from all of its duties and obligations under the Subadvisory Agreement. AllianzGI US hereby accepts the Novation and hereby releases RCM from all of its duties and obligations under the Subadvisory Agreement, and assumes all rights, duties and obligations of RCM under such agreement.

Term. The Novation shall become effective as of the date hereof and shall extend for so long as the terms specified in Section 12 of the Subadvisory Agreement are satisfied or until terminated in accordance with Section 13 of the Subadvisory Agreement.

No Termination. The parties agree that the Novation shall not constitute an “assignment” of the Subadvisory Agreement for purposes of Section 13 of the Subadvisory Agreement or the 1940 Act, and that the Subadvisory Agreement, as so novated, shall remain in full force and effect after the Novation.

Technical Amendment. The parties agree that all references in the Subadvisory Agreement to RCM shall hereby be changed to AllianzGI US.

            This agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and all counterparts so executed will constitute one and the same agreement binding on all of the parties.
