APPENDIX A

TO

INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Adviser shall pay the Sub-Adviser monthly compensation computed daily at an annual rate equal to the following:

Portfolio(s)		Annual Sub-Advisory Fee Rate
Multimanager Technology Portfolio*		0.57% of the Sub-Adviser Allocation Portion’s average daily net assets up to and including $100 million; 0.52% of the Sub-Adviser Allocation Portion’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million and up to and including $300 million; and 0.50% of the Sub-Adviser Allocation Portion’s average daily net assets in excess of $300 million.**

* Fee to be paid with respect to this Portfolio shall be based only on the portion of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets advised by the Sub-Adviser, which may be referred to as the “Sub-Adviser Allocation Portion.”

** The daily sub-advisory fee for the Sub-Adviser Allocation Portion is calculated by multiplying the aggregate net assets of the Sub-Adviser Allocation Portion at the close of the immediately preceding business day by the Annual Sub-Advisory Fee Rate calculated as set forth above and then dividing the result by the number of days in the year.
