if any, who controls or previously controlled the Fund within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including the reasonable costs
of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, damage,
claims or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred in
connection therewith) to which the Fund or any such person may become
subject under the 1933 Act, under any other statute, at common law, or
otherwise, arising out of the acquisition of any Shares by any person
which (i) may be based upon any wrongful act by the Distributor or any
of the Distributor's directors, officers, employees or representatives
(including, without limiting the foregoing, any wrongful or
A-4
unauthorized sales activities of the Distributor or any of its registered
representatives, as defined under the By-Laws of the NASD, including any
failure to conform with any requirement of any state or federal law
relating to the sale of Shares), or (ii) may be based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement, Prospectus, shareholder report or other
information covering Shares filed or made public by the Fund or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Fund by the Distributor. The Distributor
shall also indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, its officers and
Trustees and control persons from any liability to the Fund or to the
holders of Shares by reason of the Distributor's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason
of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement. In no case (i) is the Distributor's indemnity in favor of the
Fund, or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Fund or such
indemnified person against any liability to which the Fund or such person
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance of the Fund's or such person's
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the Fund's or such person's
obligations and duties under this Agreement or (ii) is the Distributor to
be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this Paragraph with
respect to any claim made against the Fund or any person indemnified
unless the Fund or such person, as the case may be, shall have notified
the Distributor in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after
the summons or other first written notification giving information of the
nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Fund or upon such
person (or after the Fund or such person shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the
Distributor of any such claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any
liability which the Distributor may have to the Fund or any person
against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of the
Distributor's indemnity agreement contained in this Paragraph.
The Distributor shall be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense, or, if the Distributor so elects, to
assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim, but,
if the Distributor elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be
conducted by legal counsel chosen by the Distributor and satisfactory to
the Fund, and to the persons indemnified as defendant or defendants, in
the suit. In the event that the Distributor elects to assume the defense
of any such suit and retain such legal counsel, the Fund, and the
persons indemnified as defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear
the fees and expenses of any additional legal counsel retained by them.
If the Distributor does not elect to assume the defense of any such
suit, the Distributor will reimburse the Fund and the persons
indemnified as defendant or defendants in such suit for the reasonable
fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by them and will provide
advances for payment of the reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with the matters as to which it or they are seeking
indemnification in the matter and to the fullest extent permissible by
law. The Distributor agrees to promptly notify the Fund of the
commencement of any litigation of proceedings against it or any of its
officers, employees or representatives in connection with the issue or
sale of any Shares.
(b) Indemnification of the Distributor. The Fund
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its
present or former directors, officers, employees, representatives and
each person, if any, who controls or previously controlled the
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any
and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including the
reasonable costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss,
liability, damage, claim or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) to which the Distributor or any such
person may become subject under the 1933 Act, under any other statute,
at common law, or otherwise, arising out of the acquisition of any
Shares by any person
A-5
which (i) may be based upon any wrongful act by the Fund or any of the
Fund's Trustees, officers, employees or representatives (including,
without limiting the foregoing, any wrongful or unauthorized sales
activities of the Fund, except unauthorized sales activities performed by
the Distributor, as defined under the By-Laws of the NASD, including any
failure to conform with any requirement of any state or federal law
relating to the sale of Shares), or (ii) may be based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement, Prospectus, shareholder report or other
information covering Shares filed or made public by the Fund or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading unless such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Fund by the Distributor. The Fund shall also
indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor, its officers and directors
and control persons from any liability to the Fund or to the holders of
Shares by reason of the Fund's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. In no case
(i) is the Fund's indemnity in favor of the Distributor, or any person
indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or such indemnified
person against any liability to which the Distributor or such person
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance of the Distributor's or such
person's duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the Distributor's
or such person's obligations and duties under this Agreement or (ii) is
the Fund to be liable under their indemnity agreement contained in this
Paragraph with respect to any claim made against Distributor, or person
indemnified unless the Distributor, or such person, as the case may be,
shall have notified the Fund in writing of the claim within a reasonable
time after the summons or other first written notification giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the
Distributor or upon such person (or after the Distributor or such person
shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent).
However, failure to notify the Fund of any such claim shall not relieve
the Fund from any liability which the Fund may have to the Distributor or
any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account
of the Fund's indemnity agreement contained in this Paragraph.
The Fund shall be entitled to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense, or, if the Fund so elects, to assume the
defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim, but, if the Fund
elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by legal
counsel chosen by the Fund and satisfactory to the Distributor, and to
the persons indemnified as defendant or defendants, in the suit. In the
event that the Fund elects to assume the defense of any such suit and
retain such legal counsel, the Distributor, the persons indemnified as
defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of
any additional legal counsel retained by them. If the Fund does not
elect to assume the defense of any such suit, the Fund will reimburse
the Distributor and the persons indemnified as defendant or defendants
in such suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel
retained by them and will provide advances for payment of the reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with the matters as to which it
or they are seeking indemnification in the matter and to the fullest
extent permissible by law. The Fund agrees to promptly notify the
Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against
it or any of its Trustees, officers, employees or representatives in
connection with the issue or sale of any Shares.
9. Authorized Representations. The Distributor is not
authorized by the Fund to give on behalf of the Fund any information or
to make any representations in connection with the sale of Shares other
than the information and representations contained in a Registration
Statement or Prospectus filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act and/or the
1940 Act, covering Shares, as such Registration Statement and Prospectus
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or contained in
shareholder reports or other written material that may be prepared by or
on behalf of
A-6
the Fund for the Distributor's use. No person other than the Distributor
is authorized to act as principal underwriter (as such term is defined in
the 0000 Xxx) for the Fund.
10. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall begin
on the date first-above written, and unless sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided, this Agreement shall remain in effect until
October 31, 2002. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect
from year to year, subject to the termination provisions and all other
terms and conditions thereof, so long as such continuation shall be
specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Board of Trustees of
the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of each Series of the Fund and, (ii) by the vote, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority
of the Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or
interested persons of any such party. The Distributor shall furnish to

included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or
delineate any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their
construction or effect.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Distributor and the Fund agree that the assets and liabilities of each
Series are separate and distinct from the assets and liabilities of each
other Series and that no Series shall be liable or shall be charged for
any debt, obligation or liability of any other Series, whether arising
under this Agreement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Fund
to take any action contrary to its Charter or By-Laws, or any applicable
statutory or regulatory requirement to which it is subject or by which
it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Board of Trustees of the Fund
of responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of the
Fund.
The names "The Glenmede Portfolios" and "Board of Trustees of
The Glenmede Portfolios" refer respectively to the Fund created and the
Trustees, as trustees but not individually or personally, acting from
time to time under a Master Trust Agreement dated March 3, 1992, which
is hereby referred to and a copy of which is on file at the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and at the principal
office of the Company. The obligations of "The Glenmede Portfolios"
entered into in the name or on behalf thereof by any of the Trustees,
representatives or agents are made not individually, but in such
capacities, and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders,
or representatives of the Fund personally, but bind only the Property
of the Fund, and all persons dealing with any class of shares of the
Fund must look solely to the Property of the Fund belonging to such
class for the enforcement of any claims against the Fund.

14. Definition of Terms. Any question of interpretation of any
term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise
derived from a term or provision of the 1940 Act shall be resolved by
reference to such term or provision of the 1940 Act and to interpretation
thereof, if any, by the United States courts or, in the absence of any
controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders
of the SEC validly issued pursuant to the 1940 Act. Specifically, the
terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities",
"interested persons," "assignment," and "affiliated person," as used in
Paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 hereof, shall have the meanings assigned to them
by Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act. In addition, where the effect of a
requirement of the 1940 Act reflected in any provision of this Agreement
is relaxed by a rule, regulation or order of the SEC, whether of special
or of general application, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate
the effect of such rule, regulation or order.
