investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the

Management Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"); and
WHEREAS, IMIT wishes to retain the Administrator to provide certain transfer
agent, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and administration services with
respect to the Portfolio, and the Administrator is willing to furnish or
provide for the furnishing of such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Appointment. IMIT hereby appoints the Administrator to provide transfer
agent, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and fund administration services
to the Portfolio, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees of
IMIT (the "Board"), for the period and on the terms set forth in this
Agreement. The Administrator accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish
the services herein set forth in return for the compensation as provided in
Paragraph 3 of this Agreement.
2. Services Provided by the Administrator. The Administrator will provide
the following services subject to the control, direction and supervision of
the Board, and in compliance with the objectives, policies and limitations
set forth in IMIT's Registration Statement, Bylaws and applicable laws and
regulations.
(a) General Administration. The Administrator shall manage, administer and
conduct the general business activities of the Portfolio other than those
which have been contracted to other third parties by IMIT as of the date
hereof. The Administrator shall provide the personnel and facilities
necessary to perform such general business activities. A detailed
description of these services is included in Attachment A to this Agreement.

accounting services to the Portfolio: (i) maintenance of the books and
records and accounting controls for the Portfolio's assets, including
records of all securities transactions; (ii) calculation of the Portfolio's
net asset values in accordance with the Prospectuses and, if requested by
IMIT, transmission of the net asset values to the NASD for publication of
prices; (iii) accounting for dividends, interest and other income received
and distributions made by the Portfolio; (iv) preparation and filing of the
Portfolio's state and federal tax returns and Semi-Annual Reports on Form

arrangements with the Portfolio's custodian and depository banks. A
complete listing of reports that will be available to the Portfolio is
included in Attachment B of this Agreement.
(c) Transfer Agent. The Administrator shall:
(i) Maintain records showing for each Portfolio shareholder the following:
(A) name, address and tax identification number; (B) number of shares held
of the Portfolio; (C) historical information including dividends paid and
the date and price of all transactions including individual purchases and
redemptions; and (D) any dividend reinvestment order, application, dividend
address and correspondence relating to the current maintenance of the account.
(ii) Record the issuance of shares of beneficial interest of IMIT and shall
notify the Fund in case any proposed issue of shares by the Portfolio shall
result in an over-issue as identified by Section 8-104(2) of the Uniform
Commercial Code and in case any issue would result in such an over-issue,
shall refuse to countersign an over-issue, and/or credit, said shares. Except
as specifically agreed in writing between the Administrator and IMIT, the
Administrator shall have no obligation when countersigning and issuing and/or
crediting shares, to take cognizance of any other laws relating to the issue
and sale of such shares except insofar as policies and procedures of the Stock
Transfer Association recognize such laws.
(iii) Process all orders for the purchase of shares of the Portfolio in
accordance with IMIT's current Registration Statement. Upon receipt of any
check or other payment for purchase of shares of the Portfolio from an
investor, it will: (A) stamp the envelope with the date of receipt;
(B) forthwith process the same for collection; and (C) determine the amounts
thereof due the Portfolio, and notify the Portfolio of such determination
and deposit, such notification to be given on a daily basis of the total
amounts determined and deposited to the Portfolio's custodian bank account
during such day. The Administrator shall then credit the share account of
the investor with the number of shares to be purchased according
to the price of the Portfolio's shares in effect for purchases made on the
date such payment is received by the Administrator, determined as set forth
in the Portfolio's current Prospectus, and shall promptly mail a
confirmation of said purchase to the investor, all subject to any
instructions which IMIT may give to the Administrator with respect to the
timing or manner of acceptance of orders for Portfolio shares relating to
payments so received by it.
-2-
(iv) Receive and stamp with the date of receipt all written requests for
redemptions or repurchase of shares and shall process redemptions and
repurchase requests as follows: (A) if such redemption request complies with
the applicable standards approved by IMIT, the Administrator shall on each
business day notify the Portfolio of the total number of shares presented
and covered by such requests received by the Administrator on such day;
(B) on or prior to the seventh calendar day succeeding any such request for
redemption, the Administrator shall notify the custodian, subject to the
instructions from the Portfolio, to transfer monies to such account as
designated by the Administrator for such payment to the redeeming shareholder
of the applicable redemption or repurchase price; (C) if any such request for
redemption or repurchase does not comply with applicable standards, the
Administrator shall promptly notify the investor of such fact, together with
the reason therefor, and shall effect such redemption at the Portfolio's price
next determined after receipt of documents complying with said standards or
at such other time as IMIT shall so direct.
(v) Acknowledge all correspondence from shareholders relating to their share
accounts and undertake such other shareholder correspondence as may from time
to time be mutually agreed upon.
(vi) Process redemptions of Portfolio shares upon telephone instructions
from qualified shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Portfolio's current Prospectus. The Administrator shall be permitted to
act upon the instruction of any person by telephone to redeem Portfolio
shares from any account for which such services have been authorized. IMIT
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrator harmless against all
losses, costs or expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses suffered
or incurred by the Administrator directly or indirectly as a result of
relying on the telephone instructions of any person acting on behalf of a
shareholder account for which telephone services have been authorized.
(vii) Transfer on the records of the Portfolio maintained by it, shares held
in non-certificate form, upon the surrender to it of transfer documents in
proper form for transfer and, upon cancellation thereof, to countersign and
issue new documents of ownership for a like amount of stock and to deliver
the same pursuant to the transfer instructions.
(viii) In the event that any check or other order for the payment of money
is returned unpaid for any reason, take such steps, including redepositing
said check for collection or returning said check to the investor, as the
Administrator may, at its discretion, deem appropriate and notify the
Portfolio of such action, unless the Portfolio instructs otherwise.
However, the Administrator shall not be liable to IMIT or the Portfolio for
any returned checks or other order for the payment of money if it follows
reasonable procedures with respect thereto.
(ix) Prepare, file with the Internal Revenue Service, and mail to
shareholders such returns for reporting payment of dividends and
distributions as are required by applicable laws to be so filed and/or
mailed, and the Administrator shall withhold such sums as are required to be
withheld under applicable Federal income tax laws, rules and regulations.
-3-
(x) Mail proxy statements, proxy cards and other materials and shall
receive, examine and tabulate returned proxies. The Administrator shall
make interim reports of the status of such tabulation to IMIT upon request,
and shall certify the final results of the tabulation.
(d) Dividend Disbursing. The Administrator shall act as Dividend Disbursing
Agent for the Portfolio, and, as such, shall prepare and mail checks; or
credit income and capital gain payments to shareholders. The Portfolio
shall advise the Administrator of the declaration of any dividend or
distribution and the record and payable date thereof at least five (5) days
prior to the record date. The Administrator shall, on or before the payment
date of any such dividend or distribution, notify the Portfolio's custodian
of the estimated amount required to pay any portion of said dividend or
distribution which is payable in cash, and on or before the payment date of
such distribution, the Portfolio shall instruct its custodian to make
available to the Administrator sufficient funds for the cash amount to be
paid out. If a shareholder is entitled to receive additional shares by
virtue of any such distribution or dividend, appropriate credits will be made
to his account and/or certificates delivered where requested. A shareholder
not electing issuance of certificates will receive a confirmation from the
Administrator indicating the number of shares credited to his account.
(e) Miscellaneous. The Administrator will also:

as IMIT shall reasonably approve) and the services of a principal financial
officer to be appointed by IMIT;

of the Board and will conform to, and comply with, except as otherwise
provided herein, the, requirements of the 1940 Act and all other applicable
federal or state laws and regulations; and (B) will consult with outside legal
counsel to IMIT, as necessary or, appropriate.
(v) Preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 3la-2 under the 1940 Act the
records required to be maintained by Rule 3la-1 under said Act in connection
with the services required to be performed hereunder. The Administrator
further agrees that all such records which it maintains for the Portfolio are
the property of IMIT and further agrees to surrender promptly to IMIT any of
such records upon IMIT's request.
-4-

(a) For the services rendered for the Portfolio pursuant to this Agreement,
the Administrator shall be entitled to a fee as set forth in the fee
schedule on Attachment C of this Agreement. Such fees are to be computed
daily and paid monthly on the first business day of the following month.

which such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon
the date of termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Administrator will from time to time employ or associate with such
person or persons as may be fit to assist them in the performance of this
Agreement. Such person or persons may be officers and employees who are

no obligation will be incurred by or on behalf of IMIT in such respect.
(c) The Administrator will bear all expenses in connection with the
performance of its services under this Agreement except as otherwise
expressly provided herein. Other expenses to be incurred in the operation
of the Portfolio will be borne by the Portfolio or other parties, including

provided, however, that, except as provided in any distribution plan adopted
by IMIT, the Portfolio will not bear, directly or indirectly, the cost of
any activity which is primarily intended to result in the distribution of
shares of the Portfolio. In addition, the Administrator may utilize one
or more independent pricing services, approved from time to time by the
Board, to obtain securities prices in connection with determining the net
asset values of the Portfolio, and the Portfolio will reimburse the
Administrator for its share of the cost of such services based upon its
actual use of the services for the benefit of the Portfolio.

obligated to exercise due care and diligence and to act in good faith in

relates, except for a loss or expense resulting from misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence on the Administrator's part in the performance of its duties
or from disregard by the Administrator of its obligations and duties under
this Agreement. Any person, even though also an officer, director, partner,
employee or agent of the Administrator, who may be or become an officer,
director, partner, employee or agent of the Portfolio, shall be deemed when
rendering services to the Portfolio or acting on any business of the
Portfolio (other than services or business in connection with the
Administrator's duties hereunder) to be rendering such services to or acting
solely for the Portfolio and not as an officer, director, partner, employee
or agent or person under the control or direction of the Administrator even
though paid by the Administrator.
(c) The Administrator shall not be responsible for, and IMIT shall indemnify
and hold the Administrator harmless from and against, any and all losses,
damages, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, payments, expenses
and liabilities, except for a loss or expense resulting from misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence on the Administrator's part in the performance of
its duties or from disregard by the Administrator of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement, arising out of or attributable to:
(i) The reliance on or use by the Administrator of its officers, employers
or agents of information, records, or documents which are received by the

them by or on behalf of IMIT, and which have been prepared or maintained by
IMIT or its officers, employees or agents;

services have been authorized; and

under the Federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or
regulations of any state, or in violation of any stop order or other
determination or ruling by any Federal agency or any state agency with
respect to the offer or sale of such shares in such state resulting from
activities, actions, or omissions by IMIT or its officers, employees, or
agents prior to the effective date of this Agreement.
-6-
(d) The Administrator shall indemnify and hold IMIT harmless from and
against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, payments, expenses and liability arising out of or
attributable to the Administrator's refusal or failure to comply with the
terms of this Agreement; the Administrator's breach of any representation or
warranty made by it herein; or the Administrator's lack of good faith, or
acts involving negligence, misfeasance or disregard of its duties hereunder.

contemplated by this Agreement on the date first hereinabove written or

terminable, without penalty, by the Board or by the Administrator, on not
less than ninety (90) days' written notice. Except as provided in Section 8
hereof, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon its assignment by
the Administrator without the prior written consent of IMIT. Upon

without limitation or prior consent of IMIT, whenever and on such terms and
conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate, enter into subcontracts,
agreements and understandings with non-affiliated third parties; provided,
that such subcontract, agreement or understanding shall not discharge the
Administrator from its obligations hereunder or delegation of duties to
another third party.
