EXHIBIT 23(d)(12)
INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
THIS INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), by and between
MARKET STREET INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Adviser"), and SSgA FUNDS MANAGEMENT, INC., a subsidiary of State Street
Corporation and a Massachusetts corporation (the "Subadviser"), made as of May
1, 2001, subject to the completion of the formation of the new corporation, SSgA
Funds Management, Inc., and effective with respect to a portfolio of Market
Street Fund (the "Fund") as specified in this Agreement.
The Adviser and Subadviser agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF SUBADVISER. The Adviser hereby engages the services of
the Subadviser in connection with the Adviser's management of one or more of the
portfolios of the Fund specified in an appendix to this Agreement (each, a
"Portfolio"), as this appendix may be amended from time to time under this
Agreement ("Appendix A"). Pursuant to this Agreement and subject to the
oversight and supervision by the Adviser and the Fund's Board of Trustees (the
"Board") and officers, the Subadviser shall manage the investment and
reinvestment of all or a portion of the Portfolio's assets (collectively, the
"Portfolio Segment") that the Adviser shall, from time to time, direct and that
the Subadviser shall accept.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUBADVISER. The Subadviser hereby accepts
the engagement by the Adviser in the foregoing capacity and agrees, at the
Subadviser's own expense, to render the services set forth herein and to provide
the office space, furnishings, equipment, and personnel required by the
Subadviser to perform these services on the terms and for the compensation
provided in this Agreement.
3. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY SUBADVISER. In particular, the Subadviser
shall furnish continuously an investment program for the Portfolio Segment and
shall determine from time to time in the Subadviser's discretion the securities
and other investments to be purchased or sold or exchanged and what portions of
the Portfolio Segment shall be held in various securities, cash, or other
investments. In this connection, the Subadviser shall provide the Adviser, and
the Fund's Board and officers with any reports and documentation as the Adviser,
and the Fund's Board and officers, shall reasonably request regarding the
Subadviser's management of the Portfolio Segment assets. The Subadviser shall
not delegate any of the Subadviser's duties under this Agreement to any other
subadviser without the consent and approval of the Fund's Board and a majority
of those trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons"
of any party; provided, that, in the event the Subadviser is authorized to so
delegate, the Subadviser shall retain overall responsibility for these delegated
powers and functions and any and all obligations and liabilities in connection
therewith.
4. COMPLIANCE BY SUBADVISER WITH PORTFOLIO POLICIES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
The Subadviser shall carry out the Subadviser's responsibilities under this
Agreement in compliance with: (a) a Portfolio's investment objective, policies,
and restrictions, as set forth in the Fund's current registration statement, as
amended from time to time; (b) any policies or directives as the
Fund's Board may from time to time establish or issue and communicate to the
Adviser in writing; and (c) applicable law and related regulations. The Adviser
shall promptly notify the Subadviser in writing of changes to (a) or (b) above
and shall notify the Subadviser in writing of changes to (c) above promptly
after the Adviser becomes aware of these changes.
5. SUBADVISER'S DUTIES REGARDING PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.
(a) PLACEMENT OF ORDERS. The Subadviser shall take all actions the
Subadviser considers necessary to implement the investment policies of
a Portfolio, and, in particular, to place all orders for the purchase
or sale of securities or other investments for the Portfolio Segment
with brokers or dealers the Subadviser selects, and, to that end, the
Subadviser is authorized as the Fund's agent to give instructions to
the Fund's custodian as to deliveries of securities or other
investments and payments of cash for the Portfolio's account. In
connection with the selection of brokers or dealers and the placement
of purchase and sale orders, the Subadviser is directed at all times to
seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines
determined by the Fund's Board and set forth in the Fund's current
registration statement.
(b) SELECTION OF BROKERS AND DEALERS. To the extent permitted by
the policy guidelines set forth in the Fund's current registration
statement, in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio
transactions, the Subadviser is authorized to consider not only the
available prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other
relevant factors, which may include, without limitation: the execution
capabilities of the brokers and dealers; the research, custody, and
other services provided by the brokers and dealers that the Subadviser
believes will enhance the Subadviser's general portfolio management
capabilities; the size of the transaction; the difficulty of execution;
the operational facilities of these brokers and dealers; the risk to
this broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities; and the
overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by these
brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, the Subadviser
is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide
brokerage and research services to the Subadviser, a higher commission
than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Subadviser
determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of these services in terms of
either the particular transaction or in terms of the Subadviser's
overall responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio Segment and to
any other client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser advises.
The execution of these transactions shall not be considered to
represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or
otherwise.
(c) SOFT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS. On an ongoing basis, but not less
often than annually, the Subadviser shall identify and provide a
written description to the Adviser and Fund of all "soft dollar"
arrangements that the Subadviser maintains with respect to a Portfolio
Segment or with brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the
Portfolio Segment. Prior to the commencement of the active management
of the Portfolio Segment, and periodically thereafter, but not less
2
often than annually, the Subadviser shall provide the Adviser and Fund
with a written description of all arrangements with third parties and
other individuals, entities, brokers, or money management firms that
have or may receive or share in the payment of fees for services in
connection with securing or continuing this Agreement.
(d) AGGREGATED TRANSACTIONS. The Subadviser also is authorized to
aggregate purchase and sale orders for securities held (or to be held)
in a Portfolio Segment with similar orders being made on the same day
for other client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser manages.
When an order is so aggregated: (1) the actual prices applicable to the
aggregated transaction will be averaged, and the Portfolio Segment and
each other account or portfolio participating in the aggregated
transaction shall be treated as having purchased or sold the
Portfolio's portion of the securities at this average price; and (2)
all transaction costs incurred in effecting the aggregated transaction
shall be shared on a pro-rata basis among the accounts or portfolios
(including the Portfolio Segment) participating in the transaction.
When recommending or effecting a transaction in a particular security
or investment for more than one client account or portfolio (including
the Portfolio Segment), the Subadviser may allocate the recommendations
or transactions among all accounts and portfolios for whom the
recommendation is made or transaction is effected on a basis that the
Subadviser considers equitable. The Adviser recognizes that in some
cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position
obtainable for a Portfolio Segment.
6. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF SUBADVISER'S SERVICES. The Subadviser's services
under this Agreement are not exclusive. The Subadviser may provide the same or
similar services to other clients. The Adviser acknowledges that, except when
transactions for multiple clients are aggregated, transactions in a specific
security or other investment may not be recommended or executed at the same time
or price for all client accounts or portfolios (including a Portfolio Segment)
for which that security or investment is recommended or executed. This Agreement
does not require the Subadviser to give priority to the Portfolio Segment over
other client accounts or portfolios. The Subadviser shall for all purposes
herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise
expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the
Adviser, the Fund, or a Portfolio or otherwise be deemed an agent of the
Adviser, the Fund, or the Portfolio.
7. DELEGATION OF PROXY VOTING RIGHTS. The Adviser delegates the Adviser's
discretionary authority to exercise voting rights with respect to the securities
and other investments in a Portfolio Segment to the Subadviser. The Subadviser
shall exercise these voting rights unless and until the Adviser revokes this
delegation in writing. The Adviser may revoke this delegation at any time
without cause. The Subadviser shall maintain and preserve a record, in an easily
accessible place for a period of not less than three (3) years, of the
Subadviser's voting procedures, and of the Subadviser's actual votes, and the
Subadviser shall supply this record to the Adviser, or any authorized
representative of the Adviser, upon the written request of the Adviser or the
Adviser's authorized representative, as appropriate.
3
8. AFFILIATED BROKERS. The Subadviser or any of the Subadviser's
affiliates may act as broker in connection with the purchase or sale of
securities or other investments for a Portfolio Segment, subject to: (a) the
requirement that the Subadviser seek to obtain best execution and price within
the policy guidelines determined by the Fund's Board and set forth in the Fund's
current registration statement; (b) the provisions of the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"); (c) the provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, but not limited to,
Section 11(a) thereof; and (d) other applicable provisions of law. These
brokerage services are not within the scope of the duties of the Subadviser
under this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and any
procedures adopted by Fund's Board, the Subadviser or the Subadviser's affiliate
may receive brokerage commissions, fees, or other remuneration from the
Portfolio or the Fund for these services in addition to the Subadviser's fees
for services under this Agreement.
9. CUSTODY. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Subadviser to take
or receive physical possession of cash, securities, or other investments of a
Portfolio Segment.
10. REGISTRATION OF SUBADVISER. The Subadviser is registered as an
investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Advisers Act. The Subadviser shall remain so registered throughout the term of
this Agreement and shall notify the Adviser immediately if the Subadviser ceases
to be so registered as an investment adviser.
11. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF SUBADVISER.

shares representing an interest in a Portfolio are (and during the term of this
Agreement will remain) registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and under any
applicable state securities laws.
13. SUBADVISER CODE OF ETHICS. The Subadviser certifies that the Subadviser
has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule
17j-1 under the 1940 Act, and that the Subadviser has instituted procedures
reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Subadviser's

days of the end of each calendar quarter during which this Agreement remains in
effect, the president or a vice president of the Subadviser shall certify to the
Adviser or the Fund that the Subadviser has complied with the requirements of
Rule 17j-1 during the previous quarter and that there have been no violations of

14. FEE PROVISIONS.
(a) FEE. For the services rendered, the facilities furnished, and the
expenses assumed by the Subadviser, the Adviser shall pay the
Subadviser quarterly fees, in arrears, based on the combined net assets
of all Portfolio Segments managed by the Subadviser, calculated daily
at the annual rate specified in an appendix to this Agreement, as this
appendix may be amended from time to time under this Agreement
("Appendix B"). The Subadviser's fee shall be accrued daily at 1/365th
of the applicable annual rate set forth in Appendix B. For the purpose
of
5
accruing compensation, the net assets of a Portfolio Segment shall be
determined in the manner and on the dates set forth in the Fund's
current prospectus, and, on days on which the net assets are not so
determined, the net asset value computation to be used shall be as
determined on the immediately preceding day on which the net assets
were determined.
(b) SPECIAL FEE PROVISIONS. In the event of termination of this Agreement,
all compensation due through the date of termination will be calculated
on a pro-rated basis through the date of termination and paid within
thirty (30) business days of the date of termination. During any period
when the determination of net asset value is suspended, the net asset
value of the Portfolio as of the last business day prior to the
suspension shall for this purpose be deemed to be the net asset value
at the close of each succeeding business day until the Portfolio's net
asset rate is again determined.
15. RECORDS.
(a) MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. The Subadviser hereby undertakes and
agrees to maintain, in the form and for the period required by Rule
31a-2 under the 1940 Act, all records relating to a Portfolio Segment's
investments that are required to be maintained by the Fund pursuant to
the requirements of paragraphs (b)(5), (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(9), (b)(10),
and (f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.
(b) OWNERSHIP OF RECORDS. The Subadviser agrees that all books and
records that the Subadviser maintains for a Portfolio or the Fund are
the Fund's property and further agrees to surrender promptly to the
Adviser or the Fund any books, records, or information upon the
Adviser's or the Fund's request; provided, however, that the Subadviser
may retain copies of the records. All the requested books and records
shall be made available, within five (5) business days of a written
request, to the Fund's accountants or auditors during regular business
hours at the Subadviser's offices. The Adviser and the Fund or either
of the Adviser's or Fund's authorized representatives shall have the
right to copy any records in the possession of the Subadviser that
pertain to the Portfolio or the Fund. These books, records,
information, or reports shall be made available to properly authorized
government representatives consistent with state and federal law and/or

Adviser or the Fund. The Subadviser agrees that the policies and
procedures the Subadviser has established for managing the Portfolio
Segment, including, but not limited to, all policies and procedures
designed to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations
governing the Subadviser/client relationship and management and
operation of a Portfolio, shall be made available for inspection by the
Adviser and the Fund or either of the Adviser's or Fund's authorized
representatives not less frequently than annually.

federal or state regulatory authorities or by a court.
(b) NON-DISCLOSURE EXCEPTIONS. The Subadviser may disclose the
investment performance of a Portfolio and the Portfolio Segment;
provided, that the disclosure does not reveal the identity of the
Adviser, the Portfolio, or the Fund. The Subadviser may, however,
disclose that the Adviser, the Fund and the Portfolio are the
Subadviser's clients; provided, that the disclosure does not reveal the
investment performance or the composition of the Portfolio Segment.
17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SUBADVISER. In the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on the part of the Subadviser or the
Subadviser's officers, directors, or employees, or reckless disregard by the
Subadviser of the Subadviser's duties under this Agreement (together, "disabling
conduct"), the Subadviser shall not be liable to the Adviser, a Portfolio, or
the Fund, or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the
course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses
that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any security or other

omission in the Fund's registration statement, any proxy statement, or other
communication to current or prospective investors in a Portfolio (other than a
misstatement or omission relating to disclosure about the Subadviser provided to
the Adviser or the Fund by the Subadviser).
20. DOCUMENT DELIVERY AND REVIEW. The Adviser shall furnish the Subadviser
with copies of the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information,
proxy statements, sales literature, or any other material prepared for
distribution to its shareholders, or the public that

Subadviser reasonably objects in writing within three (3) business days or such
other time as may be agreed to by the parties in writing after receipt thereof,
as soon as practicable after such documents become available. The Adviser shall
ensure that materials prepared by employees or agents of the Adviser that refer
to the Subadviser in any way are consistent with those materials previously
approved by the Subadviser, as referenced in the preceding sentence. The Adviser
