WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement as set forth in greater

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement, any amendment to the
Agreement is subject to approval by (i) a majority of the Trustees, including a
majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons (as that phrase is
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 0000 Xxx) of the Trust or Janus, PWM or their

the parties agree that a shareholder vote is not required to amend the

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements set forth below, the parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1. Section 7 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
"7. Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first
set forth above and shall continue in effect until February 1, 2007
unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, and shall
continue in effect from year to year thereafter only so long as such
continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by (a) the vote of a majority

sixty-five (365) days may have elapsed since the date on which such
approval was last given."
2. The parties acknowledge that the Agreement, as amended, remains in full
force and effect as of the date of this Amendment, and that this Amendment,

understanding and the full and complete agreement of the parties and supercedes
and replaces any prior understandings and agreements among the parties
respecting the subject matter hereof.
3. This Amendment may be contemporaneously executed 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.
