This Agreement is made as of this 24th day of September 2003 between

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Adviser have entered into an Investment
Advisory Agreement dated August 31, 2001 under which the Trust has agreed to
retain the Adviser to render investment advisory and management services to the
Xxxxxxxxx European Focus Fund, Xxxxxxxxx Global Technology Fund and Xxxxxxxxx
International Opportunities Fund (the "Existing Portfolios"), and the Adviser
has agreed to render such services to the Existing Portfolios, together with any
other Trust portfolios that may be established later (collectively, the
"Portfolios" and individually a "Portfolio");
WHEREAS, pursuant to Paragraph 2 of the Advisory Agreement, the Trust
hereby notifies the Adviser of its desire to retain the Adviser to render
investment advisory and management services to an additional portfolio to be
known as the Xxxxxxxxx Income Advantage Fund (the "New Portfolio"); and
WHEREAS, by signing this Agreement below, the Adviser agrees to render
such services, whereupon the New Portfolio shall become a Portfolio under the
Advisory Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
set forth herein, the Trust and the Adviser agree as follows:
1. The Trust hereby appoints the Adviser as investment adviser and manager
for the New Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser
hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the services and
duties set forth in the Advisory Agreement on the terms set forth
therein, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
2. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first above
written and, unless sooner terminated as provided in Paragraph 7 of the

this Agreement will be extended with respect to a particular New
Portfolio for successive one-year periods ending on August 30 of each
year, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 of the Advisory
Agreement.
3. For the services provided and the expenses assumed under this
Agreement, the Trust shall pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and
payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.85% of average daily managed
assets of each New Portfolio. Managed assets mean the total assets of
the New Portfolio (including any assets attributable to any leverage
that may

representing financial leverage).
4. All the other terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement shall
remain in full effect.
