WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest
("Shares") in separate portfolios, with each such portfolio representing
interests in a separate portfolio; and
WHEREAS, the Fund currently offers multiple Portfolios, one of which is
designated as the Large-Cap Value Portfolio, such Portfolio together with any
other Portfolios subsequently established by the Fund, with respect to which the
Fund and Adviser desire to retain the Portfolio Manager to render investment
advisory services hereunder, and with respect to which the Portfolio Manager is
willing to do so, being herein collectively referred to also as the
"Portfolios"; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Portfolio Manager is registered with the SEC as an investment
adviser under the Advisers Act; and
WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Adviser to render investment advisory
services to the Portfolios pursuant to an Advisory Agreement, as amended, and
such Agreement authorizes the Adviser to engage Portfolio Manager to discharge
the Adviser's responsibilities with respect to the investment management of the
Portfolio, a copy of which has been provided to the Portfolio Manager and is
incorporated by reference herein; and
WHEREAS, the Fund and the Adviser desire to retain the Portfolio Manager to
furnish investment advisory services to one or more Portfolios of the Fund, and
the Portfolio Manager is willing to furnish such services to such Portfolio and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the promises and mutual
covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the Fund, the Adviser, and the
Portfolio Manager as follows:
1. Appointment. The Fund and the Adviser hereby appoint Portfolio Manager
-----------
to act as portfolio manager to the Large-Cap Value Portfolio ("the
Portfolio") for the periods and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.
The Portfolio Manager
accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish the services herein set

2. Portfolio Manager Duties. Subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board
-------------------------
of Trustees and the Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will provide a
continuous investment program for the Portfolio and determine the
composition of the assets of the Portfolio, including determination of
the purchase, retention, or sale of the securities, cash, and other
investments, including futures contracts and options thereon, for the
Portfolio. The Portfolio Manager will provide investment research and
analysis, which may consist of computerized investment methodology, and
will conduct a continuous program of evaluation, investment, sales, and
reinvestment of the Portfolio's assets by determining the securities and
other investments that shall be purchased, entered into, sold, closed, or
exchanged for the Portfolio, when these transactions should be executed,
and what portion of the assets of the Portfolio should be held in the
various securities and other investments in which it may invest, and the
Portfolio Manager is hereby authorized to execute and perform such
services on behalf of the Portfolio. To the extent permitted by the
investment policies of the Portfolio, the Portfolio Manager shall make
decisions for the Portfolio as to foreign currency matters and make
determinations as to the retention or disposition of foreign currencies
or securities or other instruments denominated in foreign currencies, or
derivative instruments based upon foreign currencies, including forward
foreign currency contracts and options and futures on foreign currencies
and shall execute and perform the same on behalf of the Portfolio. The
Portfolio Manager is authorized to exercise tender offers, exchange
offers and to vote proxies on behalf of the Fund, each as the Portfolio
Manager determines is in the best interest of the Fund. In performing
these duties, the Portfolio Manager:
(a) Will (1) manage the Portfolio so that it will qualify as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
and (2) manage the Portfolio so as to ensure compliance by the
Portfolio with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code") and
Regulations issued thereunder. The Adviser will notify the Portfolio
Manager of any amendments to Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code and Regulations issued thereunder. In managing the Portfolio in
accordance with these requirements, the Portfolio Manager shall be
entitled to receive and act upon advice of counsel to the Fund,
counsel to the Adviser, or counsel to the Portfolio Manager that is
also acceptable to the Adviser.
(b) Shall conform with (1) the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder, and releases and interpretations related thereto (including any
no-action letters and exemptive orders which have been granted by the SEC
to the Fund, the Adviser or the Portfolio Manager and which have been
delivered to Portfolio Manager), (2) with all other applicable federal and
state laws and regulations pertaining to investment vehicles underlying
variable annuity and/or variable life insurance contracts, (3) with any
applicable procedures, policies and guidelines adopted by the Fund's Board
of Trustees, (4) with the Portfolio's objectives, investment policies and
investment restrictions as stated in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, and (5) with the provisions of the Fund's
Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "1933 Act") and the 1940 Act, as supplemented or amended from time to
time. Until the Adviser delivers any supplements or amendments, to the
Portfolio Manager, the Portfolio Manager shall be fully protected in
relying on the Fund's Registration Statement previously furnished to the
Portfolio Manager by the Adviser.
(c) Will: (I) use its best efforts to identify each position in the Portfolio
that constitutes stock in a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC"), as
that term is defined in Section 1296 of the Code, and (ii) make such
determinations and inform the Adviser at least annually, (or more often and
by such date(s) as the Adviser shall request), of any stock in a PFIC.
(d) Is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under this Section
2, for decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for the
Portfolio, for broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM")
selection, and for negotiation of commission rates. The Portfolio
Manager's primary consideration in effecting a security or other
transaction will be to obtain the best execution for the Portfolio, taking
into account the factors specified in the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information for the Fund, as they may be amended or supplemented
from time to time. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may
determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, the Portfolio Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully
or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely
by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a broker or dealer
including a broker or dealer affiliated with the Portfolio Manager, acting
as agent, for effecting a portfolio transaction at a price in excess of the
amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction, if the Portfolio Manager determines in good
faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the
value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or
dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
Portfolio Manager's (or its affiliates) overall responsibilities with
respect to the Portfolio and to its other clients as to which it exercises
investment
discretion. To the extent consistent with these standards, and in
accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and subject to any other applicable laws and
regulations including Section 17(e) of the 1940 Act, the Portfolio Manager
is further authorized to place orders on behalf of the Portfolio through
the Portfolio Manager if the Portfolio Manager is registered as a broker or
dealer with the SEC or as a FCM with the Commodities Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC"), to any of its affiliates that are brokers or dealers
or FCMs or such other entities which provide similar services in foreign
countries, or to such brokers and dealers that also provide research or
statistical research and material, or other services to the Portfolio or
the Portfolio Manager. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and
proportions as the Portfolio Manager shall determine consistent with the
above standards, and, upon request, the Portfolio Manager will report on
said allocation to the Adviser and Board of Trustees of the Fund,
indicating the brokers, dealers or FCMs to which such allocations have been
made and the basis therefor.
(e) May, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is deemed to be
in the best interest of a Portfolio as well as any other investment
advisory clients, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be
so sold or purchased with those of its other clients where such aggregation
is not inconsistent with the policies set forth in the Fund's Registration
Statement. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or
sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by
the Portfolio Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable in the
judgment of the Portfolio Manager in the exercise of its fiduciary
obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.
(f) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the
Portfolio, together with the Adviser, arrange for the transmission to the
custodian and recordkeeping agent for the Fund, on a daily basis, such
confirmation(s), trade tickets, and other documents and information,
including, but not limited to, Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers that identify
securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Portfolio, as may be
reasonably necessary to enable the custodian and recordkeeping agent to
perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect
to the Portfolio, and with respect to portfolio securities to be purchased
or sold through the Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the
automatic transmission of the confirmation of such trades to the Fund's
custodian, and recordkeeping agent, and, if required, the Adviser.
(g) Will assist the custodian and recordkeeping agent for the Fund in
determining or confirming, consistent with the procedures and policies
stated in the Registration Statement for the Fund, the value of any
portfolio securities or other assets of the Portfolio for which the
custodian and recordkeeping agent seeks assistance from the Portfolio
Manager or identifies for review by the Portfolio Manager.
(h) Will make available to the Fund and the Adviser promptly upon request, any
of the Portfolio's investment records and ledgers maintained by the
Portfolio Manager (which shall not include the records and ledgers
maintained by the custodian and recordkeeping agent for the Fund), as are
necessary to assist the Fund and the Adviser to comply with requirements of
the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, as well as other applicable laws, and
will furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite authority any
information or reports in connection with such services which may be
requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the Fund are
being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
(i) Will regularly report to the Fund's Board of Trustees on the investment
program for the Portfolio and the issuers and securities represented in the
Portfolio's portfolio, and will furnish the Fund's Board of Trustees with
respect to the portfolio such periodic and special reports as the Trustees
and the Adviser may reasonably request, including, but not limited to, the
monthly compliance checklist, monthly tax compliance worksheet, reports
regarding compliance with the Fund's procedures pursuant to Rules 17e-1,
17a-7, 10f-3 and 12d3-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
fundamental investment restrictions, procedures for opening brokerage
accounts and commodity trading accounts, liquidity determination of
securities purchased pursuant to Rule 144A AND 4(2) commercial paper, and
compliance with the Portfolio Manager's Code of Ethics, and such other
procedures or requirements that the Adviser may reasonably request from
time to time.
(j) Will not disclose or use any records or information obtained pursuant to
this Agreement (excluding investment research and investment advice) in
any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or
in the ordinary course of business in connection with placing orders for
the purchase and sale of securities or obtaining investment licenses in
various countries or the opening of custody accounts and dealing with
settlement agents in various countries, and will keep confidential any
information obtained pursuant to the Agreement, and disclose such
information only if the Board of Trustees of the Fund has authorized such
disclosure, or if such disclosure is required by applicable federal or
state law or regulations or regulatory authorities having the requisite
authority. The Fund and the Adviser will not disclose or use any records
or information respecting the Portfolio Manager obtained pursuant to this
Agreement in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized in this
Agreement, and will keep confidential any information obtained
pursuant to this Agreement, and disclose such information only as
expressly authorized in this Agreement, if the Board of Trustees of the
Fund has authorized such disclosure, or if such disclosure is required by
applicable federal or state law or regulations or regulatory authorities
having the requisite authority.
(k) Shall not permit any employee of the Portfolio Manager to have any
material connection with the handling of the Portfolio if, to the
knowledge of the Portfolio Manager after reasonable inquiry, such
employee has:
(i) been convicted, in the last ten (10) years, of any felony or
