and
WHEREAS,

and
WHEREAS,
the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Agreement is not intended

NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I. APPOINTMENT
A.
Appointment. The Company hereby appoints NYLIM to act as Manager to the Funds
for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Manager accepts
such appointment and agrees to provide the advisory and administrative services
herein described, for the compensation herein provided.
ARTICLE
II. ADVISORY SERVICES
A. Advisory
Duties of Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Board of
Directors of the Company, the Manager shall manage all aspects of the advisory
operations of each Fund and the composition of the portfolio of each Fund,
including the purchase, retention and disposition of securities therein, in
accordance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the
Fund, as stated in the currently effective Prospectus (as hereinafter defined);
in conformity with the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws (each as
hereinafter defined) of the Company; under the instructions and directions
of
the Directors of the Company; and in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the provisions of
the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), relating to regulated
investment companies and all rules and regulations thereunder, and all other
applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In connection with
the services provided under this Agreement, the Manager will use its best
efforts to manage each Fund so that it will qualify as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Code and regulations issued
thereunder. In managing each Fund in accordance with the requirements
set out in this section, the Manager will be entitled to receive and act upon
advice of counsel for the Company or Fund.
1. Portfolio
Management. The Manager will determine the securities and other
instruments to be purchased, sold or entered into by each Fund and place orders
with broker-dealers, foreign currency dealers, futures commission merchants
or
others pursuant to the Manager’s determinations and all in accordance with each
Fund’s policies as set out in the Prospectus of the Fund or as adopted by the
Board and disclosed to the Manager. The Manager will determine what
portion of each Fund's portfolio will be invested in securities and other assets
and what portion, if any, should be held uninvested in cash or cash
equivalents. Each Fund will have the benefit of the investment
analysis and research, the review of current economic conditions and trends
and
the consideration of long-range investment policy generally available to the
Manager’s investment advisory clients.
2. Selection
of Brokers. Subject to the policies established by, and any direction
from, the Company’s Board, the Manager will be responsible for selecting the
brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales for a
Fund. The Manager will place orders pursuant to its determination
with or through such persons, brokers or dealers (including NYLIFE Securities
Inc.) in conformity with the policy with respect to brokerage as set forth
in
the Company’s Registration Statement or as the Board may direct from time to
time. It is recognized that, in providing the Funds with investment
supervision or the placing of orders for portfolio transactions, the Manager
will give primary consideration to securing the most favorable price and
efficient execution. Consistent with this policy, the Manager may
consider the financial responsibility, research and investment information
and
other services provided by brokers or dealers who may effect or be a party
to
any such transaction or other transactions to which other clients of the Manager
may be a party. It is understood that neither the Funds, the Company
nor the Manager has adopted a formula for allocation of the Funds’ investment
transaction business. It is also understood that it is desirable for
the Funds that the Manager have access to supplemental investment and market
research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers who
may
execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Funds than may result
when allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the most
favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, the Manager or
any subadvisor is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of
securities for the Funds with such certain brokers, subject to review by the
Company’s Directors from time to time with respect to the extent and
continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services
provided by such brokers may be useful to the Manager or any subadvisor in
connection with its services to other clients.
Subject
to the foregoing, it is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have
acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Company or be
in
breach of any obligation owing to the Company under this Agreement, or
otherwise, solely by reason of its having directed a securities transaction
on
behalf of a Fund to a broker-dealer in compliance with the provisions of Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and interpretations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder, or as otherwise
permitted from time to time by a Fund’s Prospectus.
On
occasions when the Manager deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in
the
best interest of the Funds as well as other clients, the Manager, to the extent
permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no
obligation to, aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased in order
to
obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient
execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased
or sold, as well as expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the
Manager in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent
with
its fiduciary obligations to the Funds and to such other clients.
3. Delegation
of Investment Advisory Services. Subject to the prior approval of a
majority of the members of the Board, including a majority of the Board who
are
not “interested persons” and, to the extent required by applicable law, by the
shareholders of a Fund, the Manager may, through a subadvisory agreement or
other arrangement, delegate to a subadvisor any of the duties enumerated in
this
Agreement, including the management of all or a portion of the assets being
managed. Subject to the prior approval of a majority of the members
of the Board, including a majority of the Board who are not “interested persons”
and, to the extent required by applicable law, by the shareholders of a Fund,
the Manager may adjust such duties, the portion of assets being managed, and
the
fees to be paid by the Manager; provided, that in each case the Manager will
continue to oversee the services provided by such company or employees and
any
such delegation will not relieve the Manager of any of its obligations under
this Agreement.
The
Company and Manager understand and agree that the Manager may manage a Fund
in a
“manager-of-managers” style with either a single or multiple subadvisors, which
contemplates that the Manager will, among other things and pursuant to an Order
issued by the SEC, and subject to shareholder approval if required:
(i) continually evaluate the performance of each subadvisor to a Fund, if
applicable, through quantitative and qualitative analysis and consultations
with
such subadvisor; (ii) periodically make recommendations to the Board as to
whether the contract with one or more subadvisors should be renewed, modified
or
terminated; and (iii) periodically report to the Board regarding the
results of its evaluation and monitoring functions. The Company
recognizes that a subadvisor’s services may be terminated or modified pursuant
to the “manager-of-managers” process, and that the Manager may appoint a new
subadvisor for a subadvisor that is so removed.
4.
Instructions to Custodian. The Manager or any subadvisor shall provide the
Company’s custodian on each business day with information relating to the
execution of all portfolio transactions pursuant to standing
instructions.
5.
Valuation. The Manager will provide assistance to the Board in valuing the
securities and other instruments held by each Fund, to the extent reasonably
required by such valuation policies and procedures as may be adopted by each
Fund.
B. Books
and
Records. The Manager further agrees to preserve for the periods
prescribed by Rule 31a-2 as promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act any such
records as are required to be maintained by the Manager. The Manager
shall render to the Company’s Directors such periodic and special reports as the
Directors may reasonably request.
C. Advisory
Services Not Exclusive. The Manager’s services to the Company and
each Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not exclusive and it is understood
that
the Manager may render investment advice, management and services to other
persons (including other investment companies) and engage in other activities,
so long as its services under this Agreement are not impaired by such other
activities. It is understood and agreed that officers or directors of
the Manager are not prohibited from engaging in any other business activity
or
from rendering services to any other person, or from serving as partners,
officers, trustees or directors of any other firm, trust or corporation,
including other investment companies. Whenever a Fund and one or more
other accounts or investment companies advised by the Manager have available
funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be
allocated in accordance with procedures believed by the Manager to be equitable
to each entity over time. Similarly, opportunities to sell securities
will be allocated in a manner believed by the Manager to be equitable to each
entity over time. The Company and each Fund recognize that in some
cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that may
be
acquired or disposed of for a Fund.
ARTICLE
III. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

Duties of Manager. The
Manager shall (i) furnish the Funds with office facilities; (ii) be
responsible for the financial and accounting records required to be maintained

other than those being maintained by the Funds’ subadvisor, if any; and
(iii) furnish the Funds with Board materials, ordinary clerical,

the Company’s custodian on each business day with information relating to the

to be maintained by it. The Manager agrees that all records which it
maintains for the Funds are the property of the Funds, and it will surrender
promptly to the Funds any of such records upon the Funds’
request. Moreover, the Manager shall maintain all books and records
with respect to the Funds’ securities transactions required by sub-paragraphs
(b)(5), (6), (9) and (10) and paragraph (f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act
and
any other books and records required to be maintained by it under the 1940
Act
and the rules thereunder. The Manager shall render to the Company’s
Directors such periodic and special reports as the Directors may reasonably
request.
3. Administrative
Services Not Exclusive. The Manager’s services to the Company and
each Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not exclusive and it is understood
that
the Manager may render administrative services to other persons and engage
in
other activities, so long as its services under this Agreement are not impaired
by such other activities. It is understood and agreed that officers
or directors of the Manager may serve as officers or directors of the Company,
and that officers or directors of the Company may serve as officers or directors
of the Manager to the extent permitted by law; and that the officers and
directors of the Manager are not prohibited from engaging in any other business
activity or from rendering services to any other person, or from serving as
partners, officers, trustees or directors of any other firm, trust or
corporation, including other investment companies.
4. Delegation
of Administration Services. With respect to any or all series of the
Company, including the Funds, the Manager may enter into one or more contracts
with a sub-administrator (“Sub-Administration Contract”) in which the Manager
delegates to such sub-administrator any or all its duties specified in this
Agreement, provided that the Sub-Administration Contract meets all applicable
requirements of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder, as applicable. The
Manager will at all times maintain responsibility for providing the
administration services, and will supervise any sub-administrator.
5. Valuation. The
Manager will provide assistance to the Board in valuing the securities and
