WHEREAS, the Sub-Advisor is willing to provide international investment advice and research services to the Advisor on behalf of each of the Portfolios listed on Schedule A, to the extent that such Portfolios may invest in international assets from time to time, and the Advisor desires that the Sub-Advisor provide such international investment advice and research services to the Advisor on behalf of the Portfolios under a Master International Research Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Japan Sub-Advisor has personnel in Japan and has been formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and securities of issuers located outside of the United States and Canada, primarily in Japan;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Sub-Advisor and the Japan Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. Delegated Duties: The Sub-Advisor hereby delegates to the Japan Sub-Advisor and the Japan Sub-Advisor hereby accepts responsibility for performing such investment advice and research services, particularly with respect to issuers, companies, governments and economic conditions outside of the U.S. and Canada, primarily in Japan, with respect to all or a portion of the investments of each Portfolio, in connection with the Sub-Advisor's duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as may be requested by the Sub-Advisor. The services and the portion of the investments of each Portfolio to be advised by the Japan Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Sub-Advisor and the Japan Sub-Advisor. The Japan Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Japan Sub-Advisor performing the investment advice and research services for the Portfolios.

(a) Investment Advice and Research Services: If and to the extent requested by the Sub-Advisor, the Japan Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice and research services to the Sub-Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of each Portfolio. In connection with providing such investment advice and research services, the Japan Sub-Advisor shall furnish to the Sub-Advisor on behalf of each Portfolio such factual information, research reports and investment recommendations as the Sub-Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may include written and oral reports and analyses.

(b) Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The Japan Sub-Advisor may perform any or all of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Japan Sub-Advisor shall determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by the affected Fund(s) to the extent required pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder.

2. Information to be Provided to the Funds and the Advisor: The Japan Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Funds, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor as the Funds' Board of Directors, the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Japan Sub-Advisor may deem to be desirable.

3. Compensation: For investment advisory and research services provided under subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees to pay the Japan Sub-Advisor a sub-advisory fee (the "Japan Sub-Advisory Fee"). The Japan Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to the administrative costs incurred by the Japan Sub-Advisor in providing investment advice and research services hereunder. The Japan Sub-Advisory Fee may be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements, fee waivers or aggregate caps, if any, in effect from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Sub-Advisor and Japan Sub-Advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Portfolio that is party to a sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-Advisor and the Japan Sub-Advisor for the provision of either discretionary or non-discretionary services ("FIIA/FIJ Sub-Advisory Agreement") shall not be allocated any portion of the Japan Sub-Advisory Fee payable hereunder during any period in which such FIIA/FIJ Sub-Advisory Agreement is in effect and either discretionary or non-discretionary services are being provided thereunder. As other consideration, the Sub-Advisor shall provide the Japan Sub-Advisor with access to any and all research produced or acquired by the Sub-Advisor.

6. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the Japan Sub-Advisor to the Sub-Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the Japan Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Japan Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder. The Japan Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Funds.

7. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Japan Sub-Advisor, the Japan Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor, the Funds or to any shareholder of the Portfolios for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
