The Glenmede Fund, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (the "Company"),

follows:
1. Investment Description; Appointment
The Company desires to employ its capital relating to its Small
Capitalization Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") by investing and reinvesting
in investments of the kind and in accordance with the investment objective(s),
policies and limitations specified in its Articles of Incorporation, as amended
from time to time (the "Articles of Incorporation"), in the prospectus (the
"Prospectus") and the statement of additional information (the "Statement")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as amended from time to time, and in the
manner and to the extent as may from time to time be approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board"). Copies of the Prospectus, the Statement
and the Articles of Incorporation have been or will be submitted to the
Sub-Adviser. The Company agrees to provide copies of all amendments to the
Prospectus, the Statement and the Articles of Incorporation to the Sub-Adviser
on an on-going basis. The Company employs the Adviser as the investment adviser
to the Portfolio, and the Company and the Adviser desire to employ and hereby
appoint the Sub-Adviser to act as a sub-investment adviser to the Portfolio. The
Sub-Adviser accepts the appointment and agrees to furnish the services for the
compensation set forth below.
2. Services as Sub-Adviser
The Company and the Adviser hereby appoint the Sub-Adviser to act
as sub-investment adviser to the Portfolio for a portion of the assets of the
Portfolio which the Adviser, as fiduciary for the Company, determines to assign
to the Sub-Adviser (those assets being referred to as the "Portfolio Account")
for the period and on such terms set forth in this Agreement. It is understood
that the Portfolio Account may consist of all, a portion of or none of the
assets of the Portfolio, and that the Adviser has the right to allocate and
reallocate such assets to the Portfolio Account at any time, and from time to
time, upon such notice to the Sub-Adviser as may be reasonably necessary, in the
view of the Company, to ensure orderly management of the Portfolio Account or
the Portfolio. In making investment decisions, Sub-Adviser will only take into
account the assets it manages in the Portfolio Account and not other assets of
the Portfolio managed by the Adviser or others. The Company and the Adviser
employ the Sub-Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets
of the Portfolio Account, to continuously review, supervise and administer the
investment program of the Portfolio Account, to determine in its discretion the
securities to be purchased or sold and the portion of the Portfolio Account's
assets to be held uninvested, to provide the Company and the Adviser with
records concerning the Sub-Adviser's activities which the Company and the
Sub-Adviser are required to maintain, and to render regular reports to the
Company's officers and Board of Directors and the Adviser concerning the
Sub-Adviser's discharge of the foregoing responsibilities. The Sub-Adviser shall
discharge the foregoing responsibilities subject to the control of the officers
and the Board of Directors of the Company and the Adviser in compliance with the
objectives, policies and limitations set forth in the Prospectus, Statement and
applicable laws and regulations. The Sub-Adviser accepts such employment and
agrees to render the services and to provide, at is own expense, the office
space, furnishings and equipment and the personnel required by it to perform the
services on the terms and for the compensation provided herein.
3. Portfolio Transactions
The Sub-Adviser is authorized to select the brokers that will
execute the purchases and sales of securities for the Portfolio Account and is
directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available price and most
favorable execution, except as prescribed herein. Subject to policies
established by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Adviser, the
Sub-Adviser may also be authorized to effect individual securities transactions
at commission rates in excess of the minimum commission rates available, if the
Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research services
provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the
Company and other accounts as to which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment
discretion. The execution of such transactions shall not be deemed to represent
an unlawful act or breach of any duty by this Agreement or otherwise. The
Sub-Adviser will promptly communicate to the officers and Directors of the
Company and the Adviser such information relating to the Portfolio Account's
transactions as they may reasonably request.
4. Information Provided to the Company

initiative, furnish the Company and the Adviser from time to time with whatever
information the Sub-Adviser believes is appropriate for this purpose.

duties hereunder, (ii) reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations

be deemed to confer upon the Sub-Adviser any obligation to acquire a position in
any security which the Sub-Adviser, its principals, affiliates, agents or
employees may acquire for its or their own account or for the account of any
other client.
