(e) VALIC desires to enter into an Investment
Sub-Advisory Agreement with the SUB-ADVISER for all
or a portion of the assets of the Covered Funds which
VALIC determines from time to time to assign to the
SUB-ADVISER.
(f) This Agreement supercedes all previous agreements for
any of the Covered Funds shown on Schedule A.
VALIC and the SUB-ADVISER agree as follows:
1. SERVICES RENDERED AND EXPENSES PAID BY THE SUB-ADVISER
The SUB-ADVISER, subject to the control, direction, and supervision of
VALIC and NAF Variable's Board of Directors and in material conformity
with the 1940 Act, all applicable laws and regulations thereunder, all
other applicable federal and state securities and tax laws and
regulations, including section 817(h) and Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), NAF Variable's Articles,
Bylaws, registration statements, prospectus and stated investment
objectives, policies and restrictions and any applicable procedures
adopted by NAF Variable's Board of Directors and provided to the
SUB-ADVISER shall:
(a) manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets
of the Covered Funds including, for example, the
evaluation of pertinent economic, statistical,
financial, and other data, the determination of the
industries and companies to be represented in each
Covered Fund's portfolio, and the formulation and
implementation of investment programs.
(b) maintain a trading desk and place orders for the
purchase and sale of portfolio investments (including
futures contracts and options thereon) for each
Covered Fund's account with brokers or dealers
(including futures commission merchants) selected by
the SUB-ADVISER, or arrange for any other entity to
provide a trading desk and to place orders with
brokers and dealers (including futures commission
merchants) selected by the SUB-ADVISER, subject to
the SUB-ADVISER's control, direction, and
supervision, which brokers or dealers may include
brokers or dealers (including futures commission
merchants) affiliated with the SUB-ADVISER, subject
to applicable law.
The SUB-ADVISER will assist the Covered Funds and its agents in
determining whether prices obtained for valuation purposes accurately
reflect the prices on the SUB-ADVISER's portfolio records relating to
the assets of the Covered Funds for which the SUB-ADVISER has
responsibility on a monthly basis (unless otherwise agreed upon by the
parties hereto) and at such other times as VALIC shall reasonably
request.
In performing the services described in paragraph (b) above, the
SUB-ADVISER shall use its best efforts to obtain for the Covered Funds
the best execution of portfolio transactions. Subject to approval by
NAF Variable's Board of Directors of appropriate policies and
procedures, the SUB-ADVISER may cause the Covered Funds to pay to a
broker a commission, for effecting a portfolio transaction, in excess
of the commission another broker would have charged for effecting the
same transaction, if the first broker provided brokerage and/or
research services to the SUB-ADVISER. The SUB-ADVISER shall not be
deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached any duty created
by this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of acting in
accordance with such authorization.
The SUB-ADVISER may aggregate sales and purchase orders of securities
held by the Covered Funds with similar orders being made simultaneously
for other accounts managed by the SUB-ADVISER or with accounts of the
affiliates of the SUB-ADVISER, if in the SUB-ADVISER's reasonable
judgment such aggregation shall result in an overall economic benefit
to the Covered Funds considering the advantageous selling or purchase
price, brokerage commission and other expenses. In accounting for such
aggregated order price, commission and other expenses shall be averaged
on a per bond or share basis daily. VALIC acknowledges that the
determination of such economic benefit to the Covered Funds by the
SUB-ADVISER is subjective and represents the SUB-ADVISER's evaluation
that the Covered Funds is
2
3
benefited by relatively better purchase or sales prices, lower
commission expenses and beneficial timing of transactions or a
combination of these and other factors.
VALIC may direct the SUB-ADVISER to use a particular broker or dealer
for one or more trades if, in the sole opinion of VALIC, it is in the
best interest of the Covered Funds to do so. Any such direction shall
be in writing and in a form satisfactory to SUB-ADVISER.
VALIC authorizes and empowers the SUB-ADVISER to direct the Covered
Funds' Custodian to open and maintain brokerage accounts for securities
and other property, including financial and commodity futures and
commodities and options thereon (all such accounts hereinafter called
"brokerage accounts") for and in the name of the Covered Funds and to
execute for the Covered Funds as its agent and attorney-in-fact
standard customer agreements with such broker or brokers as the
SUB-ADVISER shall select as provided above. With respect to brokerage
accounts for financial and commodity futures and commodities and
options thereon, the SUB-ADVISER shall select such brokers, as approved
by VALIC, prior to the establishment of such brokerage account. The
SUB-ADVISER may, using such of the securities and other property in the
Covered Funds as the SUB-ADVISER deems necessary or desirable, direct
the Covered Funds' Custodian to deposit for the Covered Funds original
and maintenance brokerage and margin deposits and otherwise direct
payments of cash, cash equivalents and securities and other property
into such brokerage accounts and to such brokers as the SUB-ADVISER
deems desirable or appropriate.
The SUB-ADVISER shall maintain records adequately demonstrating
compliance with its obligations under this Agreement and report
periodically to VALIC and NAF Variable's Board of Directors regarding
the performance of its services under this Agreement. The SUB-ADVISER
will make available to VALIC and NAF Variable promptly upon their
reasonable written request all of the Covered Funds' investment records
and ledgers to assist VALIC and NAF Variable in compliance with respect
to each Covered Funds' securities transactions as required by the 1940
Act and the Advisers Act, as well as other applicable laws. The
SUB-ADVISER will furnish NAF Variable's Board of Directors such
periodic and special reports as VALIC and NAF Variable's Board of
Directors may reasonably request. The SUB-ADVISER will furnish to
regulatory authorities any information or reports in connection with
such services which may be requested in order to ascertain whether the
operations of the Covered Funds are being conducted in a manner
consistent with applicable laws and regulations. The SUB-ADVISER will
not disclose or use any records or information obtained pursuant to
this Agreement in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized
in this Agreement, and will keep confidential any non-public
information obtained directly as a result of this service relationship,
and the SUB-ADVISER shall disclose such non-public information only if
VALIC or the Board of Directors of NAF Variable has authorized such
disclosure, or if such information is or hereafter otherwise is known
by the SUB-ADVISER or has been disclosed, directly or indirectly, by
VALIC or NAF Variable to others becomes ascertainable from public or
published information or trade sources, or if such disclosure is
expressly required or requested by applicable federal or state
regulatory authorities, or to the extent such disclosure is reasonably
required by auditors or attorneys of the SUB-ADVISER in connection with
the performance of their professional services. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the SUB-ADVISER may disclose the total return earned by the
Covered Funds and may include such total return in the calculation of
composite performance information without prior approval by VALIC or
the Board of Directors of NAF Variable.
Should VALIC at any time make any definite determination as to any
investment policy and notify the SUB-ADVISER in writing of such
determination, the SUB-ADVISER shall be bound by such determination for
the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly
notified that such determination has been revoked, provided such
determination will permit SUB-ADVISER to comply with the first
paragraph of this Section.
The SUB-ADVISER will not hold money or investments on behalf of NAF
Variable. The money and investments will be held by the Custodian of
NAF Variable. The SUB-ADVISER will arrange for the transmission to the
Custodian for NAF Variable, on a daily basis, such confirmation, trade
tickets and other documents as may be necessary to enable it to perform
its administrative responsibilities with respect to the Covered Funds.
The SUB-ADVISER further shall have the authority to instruct the
Custodian of NAF Variable (i) to pay cash for securities and other
property delivered, or to be delivered, to the Custodian for
3
4
NAF Variable (ii) to deliver securities and other property against
payment for NAF Variable, and (iii) to transfer assets and funds to
such brokerage accounts as the SUB-ADVISER may designate, all
consistent with the powers, authorities and limitations set forth
herein. The SUB-ADVISER shall not have the authority to cause the
Custodian to deliver securities and other property except as expressly
provided for in this Agreement.
The SUB-ADVISER will perform cash management services for the Covered
Funds. The SUB-ADVISER may invest cash or cash equivalents in the
Reserve Investment Funds, Inc., which are internally managed money
market funds that are for the exclusive use of the X. Xxxx Price mutual
funds and clients of X. Xxxx Price.
The SUB-ADVISER will not have proxy voting responsibilities. The proxy
voting function will be performed by VALIC.
The SUB-ADVISER shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an
independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise provided or
authorized, have no authority to act or represent VALIC or NAF Variable
other than in furtherance of the SUB-ADVISER's duties and
responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement.
Except as otherwise agreed, or as otherwise provided herein, the
SUB-ADVISER shall bear the expense of discharging its responsibilities
hereunder and VALIC shall pay, or arrange for others to pay, all
VALIC's expenses, except that VALIC shall in all events pay the
compensation described in Section 2 of the Agreement.
2. COMPENSATION OF THE SUB-ADVISER
VALIC shall pay to the SUB-ADVISER, as compensation for the services
rendered and expenses paid by the SUB-ADVISER, a monthly fee or fees
based on each Covered Funds' average daily net asset value computed for
each Covered Funds as provided for herein and in the fee schedule
attached hereto as Schedule A. Schedule A may be amended from time to
time, provided that amendments are made in conformity with applicable
laws and regulations and the Articles and Bylaws of NAF Variable. Any
change in Schedule A pertaining to any new or existing Fund shall not
be deemed to affect the interest of any other Fund and shall not
require the approval of shareholders of any other Fund.
The average daily net asset value shall be determined by taking the
mean average of all of the determinations of net asset value, made in
the manner provided in NAF Variable's Declaration, for each business
day during a given calendar month. VALIC shall pay this fee for each
calendar month as soon as practicable after the end of that month, but
in any event no later than ten (10) business days following the end of
the month.
If the SUB-ADVISER serves for less than a whole month, the foregoing
compensation shall be prorated.
The payment of advisory fees related to the services of the SUB-ADVISER
under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of VALIC and
shall not be the responsibility of NAF Variable.
3. SCOPE OF THE SUB-ADVISER'S ACTIVITIES
VALIC understands that the SUB-ADVISER and its affiliates now act, will
continue to act and may act in the future as investment adviser to
fiduciary and other managed accounts and as investment adviser to other
investment companies, and VALIC has no objection to the SUB-ADVISER so
acting, provided that whenever a Covered Funds and one or more other
accounts or investment companies advised by the SUB-ADVISER have
available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate
for each will be allocated in accordance with a methodology believed to
be equitable to each entity. The SUB-ADVISER similarly agrees to
allocate opportunities to sell securities. VALIC recognizes that, in
some cases, this procedure may limit the size of the position that may
be acquired or sold for a Covered Funds. In addition, VALIC understands

performance of the SUB-ADVISER's duties hereunder will not devote their

kind or nature.

directors, officers and employees of VALIC may be a shareholder,

common control with the SUB-ADVISER; and the SUB-ADVISER, and any
person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the
SUB-ADVISER, may have an interest in VALIC.
The SUB-ADVISER shall not be liable to VALIC, NAF Variable, or to any
shareholder in the Covered Funds, and VALIC shall indemnify the
SUB-ADVISER, for any act or omission in rendering services under this

misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
obligations or duties on the part of the SUB-ADVISER in performing its
duties under this Agreement.
VALIC shall perform quarterly and annual tax compliance tests and
promptly furnish reports of such tests to the SUB-ADVISER after each
quarter end to ensure that the Covered Funds is in compliance with
