AMENDED AND RESTATED ADVISORY AGREEMENT
This AMENDED AND RESTATED ADVISORY AGREEMENT, dated March 28, 2003, between
TIFF Investment Program, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("TIP") for the account of
its Government Bond Fund, (the "Fund") and Foundation Advisers, Inc. ("FAI"), a
Delaware corporation (the "Adviser").
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein made, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. TIP hereby appoints the Adviser to act as investment
adviser to the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.
The Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein
described, for the compensation herein provided.
2. DUTIES OF THE ADVISER. Under the supervision and subject to the control of
TIP's board of directors, the Adviser shall manage the investment program of the
Fund and, in particular, shall perform the following duties in addition to any
others that the Board of Directors and the Adviser agree are appropriate to
support and enhance the investment program of the Fund:
(a) Money Manager Selection and Supervision
(i) Establish, in consultation with the board of directors of TIP,
criteria for identification and selection of money managers for the
Fund;
(ii) Identify, screen, and interview money managers for the Fund,
analyze the capabilities of such managers, and, subject to review and
approval of the board of directors, select one or more money managers
to invest the Fund's assets in light of the capabilities of available
managers and expectations as to the way in which the investment
programs and styles of each will contribute, in tandem, to the overall
performance of the Fund;
(iii) Negotiate discretionary management agreements between TIP and
money managers on suitable terms with particular attention to
performance benchmarks and fees, it being understood that (except with
respect to uninvested cash, as provided below) the agreements will
vest with the money managers, and not with the Adviser, the discretion
to select particular investments within the investment program,
performance benchmark or benchmarks, investment policies, and
restrictions set forth in agreement, and advise TIP's board of
directors, which has final authority for the approval or disapproval
of such agreements, as to the terms thereof and other pertinent
information with respect thereto;
(iv) Review periodically the performance of each money manager against
the manager's performance benchmark and the manager's overall
contribution to the Fund's performance and make such recommendations
to TIP's board of directors as the Adviser deems appropriate with
respect to the continuation, modification, or termination of the
agreement with the manager;
(v) Allocate and reallocate funds to and among money managers in light
of changing market conditions, manager performance, and other factors
that the Adviser deems relevant with the objective of maximizing the
Fund's investment performance;
(vi) Review the investment objectives, policies, and restrictions
applicable to the Fund in light of the Fund's performance and make
recommendations the Adviser deems appropriate with respect to any
changes in such objectives, policies and restrictions.
(b) Direct Management. With respect to any assets of the Fund that are not
managed by a money manager, the Adviser is authorized to purchase and sell
securities and other investments in accordance with the Fund's investment
objectives, policies, and restrictions as described in TIP's registration
statement.
(c) All of the foregoing duties, and any others that may be performed by
the Adviser from time to time, shall be performed in accordance with the
investment objectives, policies, and restrictions set forth in TIP's
Registration Statement under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as such
Registration Statement may be amended from time to time and in conformity
with the Act and other applicable law. The Adviser shall use its best
judgment in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.
3. FURTHER PROVISIONS INVOLVING DIRECT MANAGEMENT BY THE ADVISER. The provisions
of this section pertain to the direct management by the Adviser of all or a part
of the Fund's assets.
(a) Records. Adviser shall maintain proper and complete records relating to
the furnishing of investment management services under this Agreement,
including records with respect to securities transactions required by the
1940 Act and Rules thereunder. All records maintained pursuant to this
Agreement shall be subject to examination by TIP and by persons authorized
by it during reasonable business hours upon reasonable notice. Records
required to be maintained by the 1940 Act shall be the property of TIP;
Adviser will preserve such records for the periods prescribed by Rule 31
a-2 under the 1940 Act and shall surrender such records promptly at TIP's
request. Upon termination of this Agreement, Adviser shall promptly return
records that are TIP's property and, upon demand, shall make and deliver to
TIP true, complete, and legible copies of such other records maintained as
required by this Section 3(a) as TIP may request. Adviser may retain copies
of records furnished to TIP.
(b) Reports to Custodian. Adviser shall provide to TIP's custodian and to
TIP on each business day information relating to all transactions
concerning the managed assets.

sale of securities on behalf of TIP with brokers or dealers selected by
Adviser in conformity with the policy respecting brokerage set forth in the
Statement of Additional Information included in the Registration Statement.
Neither the Adviser nor any of its officers, employees, or affiliates will
act as principal or receive any compensation in connection with the
purchase or sale of investments by TIP other than the management fees
provided for in this Agreement.
4. STANDARD OF CARE/INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to Section 36 of the 1940 Act, the
Adviser shall not be liable to TIP for any error of judgment or mistake of law
or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the
management of the Fund and the performance of its duties under this Agreement
except for losses arising out of the Adviser's bad faith, willful misfeasance or
gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. TIP agrees to
indemnify the Adviser for any claims, losses, costs, damages, or expenses
(including fees and disbursements of counsel, but excluding the ordinary
expenses of the Adviser arising from the performance of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement) whatsoever arising out of the performance of
this Agreement except for those claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses
resulting from the Adviser's bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence

5. OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITY. Subject to restrictions imposed by law and by
applicable Codes of Ethics adopted by TIP and by the Adviser, Adviser and its
directors, officers, affiliates, or employees may buy, sell, or trade in any
securities for accounts in which they have a beneficial interest and for
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. TIP acknowledges that
the Adviser and its officers, directors, and employees may at any time have,
acquire, increase, decrease, or dispose of positions in investments which are at
the same time being acquired or disposed of for the account of the Fund and that
the Adviser will have no obligation to acquire for the Fund a position in any
investment which the Adviser, or its officers, directors, or employees may
acquire, if in the sole discretion of the Adviser, it is not feasible or
desirable to acquire a position in such investment for the account of the Fund.

company, and at the request of the Adviser, TIP will take such action as may be
required to provide its consent to such use or grant; and (iv) upon the
termination of any investment advisory agreement into which the Adviser and TIP
may enter, TIP shall, upon request by the Adviser, promptly take such action, at
its own expense, as may be necessary to change its corporate name to one not
containing the phrase "TIFF" and following such a change, shall not use the
phrase "TIFF" or any combination thereof, as part of its corporate name or for
any other commercial purpose, and shall use its best efforts to cause its
officers, directors and stockholders to take any and all actions which the
Adviser may request to effect the foregoing and recovery to the Adviser any and
all rights to such phrase.
