APPENDIX A |
ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULE |
The Adviser shall serve as investment adviser for each Portfolio of the Trust listed below. The Trust will pay the Adviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement with respect to each Portfolio, the fee computed separately for such Portfolio at an annual rate as follows (the "Adviser Fee").
The term Aggregate Net Assets in the chart below includes the net assets of a Portfolio of the Trust. It also includes with respect to certain Portfolios as indicated in the chart the net assets of one or more other portfolios, but in each case only for the period during which the subadviser for the Portfolio also serves as the subadviser for the other portfolio(s) and only with respect to the net assets of such other portfolio^) that are managed by the subadviser.
For purposes of determining Aggregate Net Assets and calculating the Adviser Fee, the net assets of the Portfolio and each other fund of the Trust are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust, and the net assets of each portfolio of each other fund are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of that fund.
The Adviser Fee for a Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets (the "Applicable Annual Fee Rate"). The Adviser Fee for each Portfolio shall be accrued and paid daily to the Adviser for each calendar day. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in die year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Portfolio. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser.
If, with respect to any Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date of such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.

0.500% | 0.490% |
Calculation and Payment of Adviser Fee
For purposes of calculating the Adviser Fee, Aggregate Net Assets, Affiliated Fund Assets and Other Assets of the Index Allocation Trust are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust.
The annual percentage rate to be applied under (a) above to Affiliated Fund Assets and under (b) above to Other Assets shall be determined in each case by applying the applicable schedule of
29
rates to the applicable portions (as determined by breakpoints) of Aggregate Net Assets and dividing the sum of the amounts so determined by the amount of Aggregate Net Assets.
The fee on Affiliated Fund Assets under (a) above and the fee on Other Assets under (b) above
shall each be accrued and paid daily to the Adviser (by wire transfer or check as directed by the Adviser)
for each calendar day. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable annual percentage rate as determined under (2) above, and multiplying this product by Affiliated Fund Assets for purposes of (a) and by Other Assets for purposes of (b).
The daily Adviser Fee for the Index Allocation Trust shall be the sum of the daily fee on Affiliated Fund Assets and the daily fee on Other Assets.
If, with respect to the Index Allocation Trust, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the annual percentage rates for Affiliated Fund Assets or Other Assets changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.

The Subadviser Fee for a Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of the
- 14 -
amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”). The Subadviser Fee for each Portfolio shall be accrued for each calendar day, and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Subadviser within 30 calendar days of the end of each month. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the portion of the net assets of the Portfolio managed by the Subadviser. The Adviser shall provide Subadviser with such information as Subadviser may reasonably request supporting the calculation of the fees paid to it hereunder. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by Xxxxxxxxxx.
If, with respect to any Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.

SUB-ITEM 77Q1: Exhibit F |
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Plan”) is made this 7th day of November, 2008, by Xxxx Xxxxxxx Trust (“JHT”), a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of each “Acquired Fund” and its corresponding “Acquiring Fund” listed below, all of which are separate series or funds of JHT, and, for purposes of Sections 1(a)(ii) and 9 of the Plan only, by Xxxx Xxxxxxx Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”), the investment adviser to JHT:
Acquired Fund | Corresponding Acquiring | |||
Fund | ||||
Managed Trust | – | Lifestyle Balanced Trust | ||
Emerging Growth Trust | – | Small Cap Growth Trust | ||
Small Cap Trust | – | Small Cap Growth Trust | ||
U.S. Core Trust | – | Fundamental Value Trust |
This Plan shall be deemed to be a separate agreement by JHT on behalf of each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund. As used herein, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are, respectively, the “Acquired Fund” and the “Acquiring Fund.”
WHEREAS, JHT intends to provide for the reorganization of the Acquired Fund through the acquisition by the Acquiring Fund of all or substantially all of the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for Series I, Series II and NAV voting shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, of the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquiring Fund Shares”), the liquidation of the Acquired Fund and the distribution to Acquired Fund shareholders of the Acquiring Fund Shares (the “Reorganization”); and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of JHT has determined that the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of each such Fund, as well as the best interests of shareholders and owners of variable life and annuity contracts funded by shares of such Funds (“contract owners”), and that the interests of existing shareholders and contract owners will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, JHT on behalf of, respectively, the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, hereto agrees as follows:
1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND
- 16 -
(a) Plan of Reorganization. |
(i) JHT on behalf of the Acquired Fund, will convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund all of the then existing assets of the Acquired Fund (consisting, without limitation, of portfolio securities and instruments, dividend and interest receivables, cash and other assets). In consideration thereof, JHT on behalf of the Acquiring Fund will (A) assume and pay, to the extent that they exist on or after the Effective Time of the Reorganization (as defined in Section 1(b)(i) hereof), all of the obligations and liabilities of the Acquired Fund and (B) issue and deliver to the Acquired Fund that number of full and fractional Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund as determined in Section 1(c) hereof. Any Series I, Series II and NAV shares of capital stock (if any), par value $.01 per share, of the Acquired Fund (“Acquired Fund Shares”) held in the treasury of JHT at the Effective Time of the Reorganization shall thereupon be retired. Such transactions shall take place on the date provided for in Section 1(b)(i) hereof (the “Exchange Date”). All computations for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund shall be performed by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), as custodian and pricing agent for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund. The determination of the Custodian shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest.
(ii) JHIMS has advised JHT that: (A) because of significant differences between the investment strategies and portfolio securities of the Managed Trust (an Acquired Fund), which invests directly in equity and fixed-income securities, and the Lifestyle Balanced Trust (an Acquiring Fund), which is a fund of funds investing principally in shares of other JHT funds, substantially all of the portfolio securities of the Managed Trust will be sold in connection with the Reorganization; and (B) in connection with the Reorganization, and prior to the Effective Time of the Reorganization (as defined in Section 1(b)(i) hereof), the Lifestyle Trusts of JHT are expected to redeem from (i) the Emerging Growth Trust (an Acquired Fund), approximately $7 million of the current investments by the Lifestyle Trusts in that Acquired Fund, representing, as of May 31, 2008, approximately 47% of the net assets of that Acquired Fund; and (ii) the Small Cap Trust (an Acquired Fund), approximately $96 million of the current investments by the Lifestyle Trusts in that Acquired Fund, representing, as of May 31, 2008, approximately 86% of the net assets of that Acquired Fund.
(iii) As of the Effective Time of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record (“Acquired Fund shareholders”) as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) in actual or constructive exchange for the shares of the Acquired Fund held by the Acquired Fund shareholders. The holders of Series I, Series II and NAV shares (as applicable) of the Acquired Fund, will receive, respectively, Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund shareholders and representing the respective pro-rata number of the Acquiring Fund
- 17 -
Shares due such shareholders. The Acquiring Fund will not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.
(iv) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the Reorganization, JHT shall take all the necessary steps under Massachusetts law, JHT’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) and any other applicable law to effect a complete dissolution of the Acquired Fund.
(b) Exchange Date and Effective Time of the Reorganization. |
(i) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Reorganization specified in this Plan, the Reorganization shall occur as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Effective Time of the Reorganization”) on the day (the “Exchange Date”) which is the later of (A) the final adjournment of the meeting of the holders of Acquired Fund shares at which this Plan will be considered, (B) November 7, 2008 and (C) such later day as JHT may determine.
(ii) All acts taking place on the Exchange Date shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization unless otherwise provided.
(iii) In the event that on the proposed Exchange Date (A) the New York Stock Exchange shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted, or (B) trading or the reporting of trading on said Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate valuation of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Exchange Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.
(iv) On the Exchange Date, portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund shall be transferred by the Custodian to the account of the Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer, in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the custom of brokers, and shall be accompanied by all necessary federal and state stock transfer stamps or a check for the appropriate purchase price thereof.
(c) Valuation. |
(i) The net asset value per share of the Series I, Series II and NAV shares (as applicable) of the Acquiring Fund and the net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred in exchange for such Series I, Series II and NAV shares shall be determined as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization. The net asset value per share of the Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund shall be computed by the Custodian in the manner set forth in JHT’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws and then current prospectus and statement of additional information and shall be computed to not less than two decimal places. The net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred shall be computed by the Custodian by calculating the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund and by subtracting therefrom the amount of the liabilities assigned and transferred to the Acquiring Fund, said assets and liabilities to be valued in the manner
- 18 -
set forth in JHT’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws and then current prospectus and statement of additional information.
(ii) The number of Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s assets shall be determined by dividing the net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to shares of each class and to be transferred by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund, both as determined in accordance with Section 1(c)(i).
(iii) All computations of value shall be made by the Custodian in accordance with its regular practice as pricing agent for the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund.

With respect to the Acquiring Fund, JHT shall have complied with each of its covenants contained herein, each of the representations and warranties contained herein shall be true in all material respects as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization (except as otherwise contemplated herein), and there shall have been no material adverse change (as described in Section 2(i)) in the financial condition, results of operations, business, properties or assets of the Acquiring Fund since December 31, 2007.
(c) Regulatory Approval. The Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission and no stop orders under the Securities Act pertaining thereto shall have been issued and all other approvals, registrations, and exemptions under federal and state laws considered to be necessary shall have been obtained (collectively, the “Regulatory Approvals”).
(d) Tax Opinions. JHT shall have received one or more opinions of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx PLLC, dated on or before the Effective Time of the Reorganization, addressed to and in
- 26 -
form and substance satisfactory to JHT, as to certain of the federal income tax consequences under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) of the Reorganization insofar as it relates each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund (the “Tax Opinions’). For purposes of rendering its opinion, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx PLLC may rely exclusively and without independent verification, as to factual matters, on the statements made in the Plan, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and on such other written representations as a senior officer of JHT will have verified as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization. The opinion(s) will be to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein, for federal income tax purposes:
(A) with respect to the transaction involving the U.S. Core Trust (Acquired Fund) and the Fundamental Value Trust (Acquiring Fund): (1) the Reorganization will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code with respect to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds; (2) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired or the Acquiring Fund upon the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities, if any, of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund; (3) no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of the Acquired Fund upon the exchange of such Fund’s shares solely for shares of the Acquiring Fund; (4) the tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by each holder of shares of the Acquired Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the tax basis of the shares of the Acquired Fund held by the shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization; (5) the holding period of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by each holder of shares of the Acquired Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the holding period of the shares of the Acquired Fund held by the shareholder (provided the shares of the Acquired Fund were held as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization) immediately prior to the Reorganization; (6) the tax basis of the assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the tax basis of those assets of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization; and (7) the holding period of the assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the holding period of those assets of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization; and
(B) with respect to each of the three transactions involving, respectively, (i) the Managed Trust (Acquired Fund) and the Lifestyle Balanced Trust (Acquiring Fund), (ii) the Emerging Growth Trust (Acquired Fund) and the Small Cap Growth Trust (Acquiring Fund) and (iii) the Small Cap Trust (Acquired Fund) and the Small Cap Growth Trust (Acquiring Fund): (1) the transaction does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, and will be treated as a taxable transaction; (2) the Acquired Fund will recognize gain or loss on each of its assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of such assets and (ii) the adjusted basis of such assets; (3) the Acquired Fund will be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its shareholders in an amount sufficient to offset its regulated investment company taxable income and its capital gains and therefore will not incur any federal income tax liability for its last complete year ending on the date of the Reorganization; (4) the Acquiring Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of
- 27 -
the assets of the Acquired Fund; (5) the basis of each of the assets acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the fair market value of such assets as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization; (6) the Acquiring Fund’s holding period for the assets acquired from the Acquired Fund will start as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization; (7) the shareholders of the Acquired Fund will recognize any gain or loss upon the exchange of shares of the Acquired Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund they received pursuant to the Reorganization; (8) the basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by the former shareholders of the Acquired Fund will be the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization; (9) the holding period of the former shareholders of the Acquired Fund for their shares of the Acquiring Fund will start as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization; and (10) if the variable contracts and the insurance companies issuing them are properly structured under the insurance company provisions of the Code, the Reorganization will not be a taxable event for contract owners whose contract values are determined by investment in shares of the Acquired Fund.
