open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”);
WHEREAS, the Investment Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment

WHEREAS, the Fund Manager is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the

WHEREAS, the Trust has retained the Investment Adviser to render investment advisory services
to the various portfolios of the Trust pursuant to an Advisory Agreement, as amended, and such
Agreement authorizes the Investment Adviser to engage a fund Manager to discharge the Investment
Adviser’s responsibilities with respect to the investment management of such portfolios, a copy of
which has been provided to the Fund Manager and is incorporated herein by reference;
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Investment Adviser desire to retain the Fund Manager to furnish
investment advisory services to one or more portfolios of the Trust, and the Fund Manager is
willing to furnish such services to such portfolios and the Investment Adviser in the manner and on
the terms hereinafter set forth; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is
agreed among the Trust, the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Manager as follows:
1. Appointment. The Trust and the Investment Adviser hereby appoint Salomon Brothers Asset
Management Inc., to act as Fund Manager to provide investment advisory services to the portfolios
of the Trust listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (hereinafter the “Funds”) for the periods and on
the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Fund Manager accepts such appointment and agrees to

In the event the Investment Adviser wishes to retain the Fund Manager to render investment
advisory services to one or more portfolios of the Trust other than the Funds, the Investment
Adviser shall notify the Fund Manager in writing and shall revise Exhibit A to reflect such
additional portfolio(s). If the Fund Manager is willing to render such services, it shall notify
the Trust and the Investment Adviser in writing, whereupon such portfolio shall become a Portfolio
hereunder, and be subject to this Agreement.
2. Fund Manager Duties.
Subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Investment
Adviser, the Fund Manager will provide a continuous investment program for the Funds and determine
the composition of the assets of the Funds. The Fund Manager will provide investment research and
analysis, which may include computerized investment methodology, and will conduct a continuous
program of evaluation, investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Funds’ assets by determining the
securities, cash and other investments, including futures and options contracts, if any, that shall
be purchased, entered into, retained, sold, closed, or exchanged for the Funds, when these
transactions should be executed, and what portion of the assets of the Funds should be held in the
various securities and other investments in which it may invest, and the Fund Manager is hereby
authorized to execute and perform such services on behalf of the Funds. To the extent permitted by
the written investment policies of the Funds, the Fund Manager shall make decisions for the Funds
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 Funds. The Fund Manager is authorized to and shall exercise tender offers, exchange offers and
vote proxies on behalf of each Portfolio, each as the Fund Manager determines is in the best
interest of the Portfolio.
In performing these duties, the Fund Manager:
(a) will 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 Trust, to the Investment Adviser (as provided to the Fund
Manager by the Investment Adviser), or to the Fund Manager), (2) any applicable written procedures,
policies and guidelines adopted by the Board and furnished to the Fund Manager, (3) the Trust’s
objectives, investment policies and investment restrictions as stated in the Trust’s Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information as supplemented or amended from time to time, as furnished to
the Fund Manager, (4) the provisions of the Trust’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 (the “Registration Statement”), (5) Section 851(b)(2) and (3) of Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (6) any other applicable laws and
regulations, including without limitation, proxy voting regulations.
(b) will (i) use its best efforts to identify each position in the Funds 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 Investment Adviser at least annually (or
more often and by such date(s) as the Investment Adviser shall request) of any stock in a PFIC.
(c) is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under this Section 2, for
decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for the Funds, for broker-dealer and
futures commission merchant (“FCM”) selection, and for negotiation of commission rates. The Fund
Manager’s primary consideration in effecting a security or other transaction will be to obtain the
best execution for the Funds, taking into account the factors specified in the Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information for the Trust, as they may be amended or supplemented from time
to time and furnished to the Fund Manager. Subject to such policies as the Board may determine and
consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
2
1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Fund 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 Funds to pay a broker or dealer, 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 Fund 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 Fund
Manager’s (or its affiliates’) overall responsibilities with respect to the Funds 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 1934 Act and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and
subject to any other applicable laws and regulations including Section 17(e) of the 1940 Act, the
Fund Manager is further authorized to place orders on behalf of the Funds through the Fund Manager
if the Fund Manager is registered as a broker or dealer with the SEC or as a FCM with the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), through any of its affiliates that are brokers or
dealers or FCMs or such other entities which provide similar services in foreign countries, or
through such brokers and dealers that also provide research or statistical research and material,
or other services to the Funds or the Fund Manager. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and
proportions as the Fund Manager shall determine consistent with the above standards, and, upon
request, the Fund Manager will report on said allocation to the Investment Adviser and Board,
indicating the brokers, dealers or FCMs to which such allocations have been made the basis
therefor. The Fund Manager is authorized to open brokerage accounts on behalf of the Funds in
accordance with Trust procedures. The Fund Manager shall not direct brokerage to any broker-dealer
in recognition of, or otherwise take into account in making brokerage allocation decisions, sales
of shares of a Portfolio or of any other investment vehicle by that broker-dealer.
(d) 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 Registration Statement as furnished to the Fund Manager. 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 Fund Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable and
consistent with the Fund Manager’s fiduciary obligations to the Funds and to such other clients.
(e) will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Funds, together with
the Investment Adviser, arrange for the transmission to the custodian and recordkeeping agent for
the Trust, 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 Funds, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the
custodian and recordkeeping agent to perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities
with respect to the Funds, 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 Trust’s custodian and recordkeeping agent, and, if required, the Investment
Adviser. The Fund Manager agrees to comply with such rules, procedures and time frames as the
Trust’s custodian may set or provide with respect to the clearance and settlement of transactions
for a Portfolio, including but not limited to submission of trade tickets. Any Portfolio assets
shall be delivered directly to the Trust’s custodian.
3
(f) will provide assistance to the Investment Adviser, custodian or recordkeeping agent for
the Trust in determining or confirming, consistent with the procedures and policies stated in the
Trust’s valuation procedures and/or the Registration Statement, the value of any portfolio
securities or other assets of the Funds for which the Investment Adviser, custodian or
recordkeeping agent seeks assistance from the Fund Manager or identifies for review by the Fund
Manager. This assistance includes (but is not limited to): (i) designating and providing access to
one or more employees of the Fund Manager who are knowledgeable about the security/issuer, its
financial condition, trading and/or other relevant factors for valuation, which employees shall be
available for consultation when the Board’s Valuation Committee convenes; (ii) notifying the
Investment Adviser in the event any Fund securities value does not appear to reflect corporate
actions, news, significant events, or such security otherwise requires review to determine if fair
valuation is necessary under the Trust’s procedures; (iii) notifying the Investment Adviser in the
event the Fund Manager determines, with respect to a security that is held both by the Portfolio
and by another account managed by the Fund Manager, of the value of such security pursuant to the
Fund Manager’s procedures for determining the fair value of a security; (iv) obtaining bids and
offers or quotes from broker/dealers or market-makers with respect to securities held by the Funds,
upon the request of the Investment Adviser or custodian; (v) verifying pricing and providing fair
valuations or recommendations for fair valuations in accordance with the Trust’s valuation
procedures, as they may be amended from time to time; and (vi) maintaining adequate records and
written backup information with respect to the securities valuation services provided hereunder,
and providing such information to the Investment Adviser or the Trust upon request. Such records
shall be deemed Trust records.
(g) will maintain and preserve such records related to each Portfolio’s transactions as
required under the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The Fund Manager will make available to the
Trust and the Investment Adviser promptly upon request, any of the Funds’ investment records and
ledgers maintained by the Fund Manager (which shall not include the records and ledgers maintained
by the custodian and recordkeeping agent for the Trust), as are necessary to assist the Trust and
the Investment Adviser in complying 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 Trust are being conducted in a manner consistent with
applicable laws and regulations.
(h) will regularly report to the Board on the investment program for the Funds and the issuers
and securities represented in the Funds, and will furnish the Board, with respect to the Funds,
such periodic and special reports as the Board and the Investment Adviser may reasonably request,
including, but not limited to, reports concerning transactions and performance of each Portfolio, a

4
Investment Adviser that the Fund Manager has complied with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 during
the previous calendar quarter and that there have been no violations of the Code of Ethics or, if a
violation has occurred, that appropriate action has been taken in response to such violation. Upon
written request of the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Fund Manager shall permit
representatives of the Investment Adviser and the Trust to examine the reports (or summaries of the
reports) required to be made under the Code of Ethics and other records evidencing enforcement of
the Code of Ethics.
(j) will provide to the Investment Adviser a copy of the Fund Manager’s Form ADV, and any

Statement, including any supplements thereto, which relate to the Fund Manager or the Funds, filed
with the SEC (or which will be filed with the SEC in the future) and represents and warrants that,
with respect to the disclosure respecting or relating to the Fund Manager, including any
performance information the Fund Manager provides that is included in or serves as the basis for
information included in the Registration Statement, such Registration Statement contains as of the
date hereof, or will contain as of the date of effectiveness of any future Registration Statement

amendment or supplement thereto, or of any statement respecting or relating to the Fund Manager
contained therein that becomes untrue in any material respect. With respect to the disclosure
respecting each Portfolio, the Fund Manager represents and agrees that the description in the

all activities in connection with the performance of the Fund Manager’s services under this
Agreement, including but not limited to salaries, overhead, travel, preparation of Board materials,
review of marketing materials, and marketing support. Upon request by the Investment Adviser, Fund
Manager agrees to reimburse the Investment Adviser for costs associated with certain supplements
(“Supplements”). Such Supplements are those generated due to changes by Fund Manager requiring
immediate disclosure in the Trust’s prospectus and for which, at the time of notification by Fund
Manager to Investment Adviser of such changes, the Trust is not already generating a supplement for
other purposes or for which the Investment Adviser may not be able to reasonably add such changes
to a pending supplement. Such changes by Fund Manager include, but are not limited to, changes to
its structure, to investment personnel, to investment style or management. Investment Adviser may
request reimbursement from Fund Manager for some or all of the costs associated with generating
such Supplements. Reimbursable costs may include, but are not limited to, costs of preparation,
filing, printing, and/or distribution of such Supplements to all existing variable product contract
and policy holders that are eligible to use the Trust as their underlying investment vehicle. Each
Portfolio will bear certain other expenses to be incurred in its operation, including, but not
limited to, investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees (other than sub-advisory fees paid pursuant
to this Agreement) and administration fees; fees for necessary professional and brokerage services;
costs of regulatory compliance; and pro rata costs associated with maintaining the Trust’s legal
existence and shareholder relations. All other expenses not specifically assumed by the Fund
Manager hereunder or by the Investment Adviser under the Advisory Agreement are borne by the
applicable Portfolio of the Trust. The Trust, the Fund Manager and the Investment Adviser shall
not be considered as partners or participants in a joint venture.
5. Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses borne by the Fund Manager
pursuant to this Agreement, the Investment Adviser will pay to the Fund Manager a fee in accordance
with Exhibit A attached to this Agreement. This fee will be computed and accrued daily and payable
monthly. The fees for any month during which this Agreement is in effect for less than the entire
month shall be pro-rated based on the number of days during such month that the Agreement was in
effect.

for providing money for the initial capitalization of any Portfolio.

Trust (i) in the event that the SEC, CFTC, or any banking or other regulatory body has censured the
Fund Manager; placed limitations upon its activities, functions or operations; suspended or revoked
its registration, if any, or ability to serve as an investment adviser; or has commenced
proceedings or an investigation that can reasonably be expected to result in any of these actions;
and (ii) upon having a reasonable basis for believing that a Portfolio has ceased to qualify or
might not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code. The Fund
Manager further agrees to notify the Investment Adviser and Trust immediately of any material fact
known to the Fund Manager respecting or relating to the Fund Manager that is not contained in the
Registration Statement or prospectus for the Trust,
8
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or of any statement contained therein that becomes untrue
in any material respect.
(b) The Investment Adviser agrees that it shall immediately notify the Fund Manager (i) in the
event that the SEC has censured the Investment Adviser or the Trust; placed limitations upon either
of their activities, functions, or operations; suspended or revoked the Investment Adviser’s
registration as an investment adviser; or has commenced proceedings or an investigation that may
result in any of these actions; or (ii) upon having a reasonable basis for believing that a
Portfolio has ceased to qualify or might not qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code.
8. Independent Contractor. The Fund Manager shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an
independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized by the
Investment Adviser from time to time, have no authority to act for or represent the Investment
Adviser in any way or otherwise be deemed its agent. The Fund Manager understands that unless
provided herein or authorized from time to time by the Trust, the Fund Manager shall have no
authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed the Trust’s Agent.
9. Books and Records. In compliance with the requirements of and to the extent required by
Section 31a of the 1940 Act and all relevant rules thereunder, the Fund Manager hereby agrees that
all records which it maintains for the Funds are the property of the Trust and further agrees to
surrender promptly to the Trust any of such records upon the Trust’s or the Investment Adviser’s
request, although the Fund Manager may, at its own expense, make and retain a copy of such records.
10. Cooperation. Each party to this Agreement agrees to cooperate with each other party and
with all appropriate governmental authorities having the requisite jurisdiction (including, but not
limited to, the SEC and state insurance authorities) in connection with any investigation or
inquiry relating to this Agreement or the Trust.
11. Responsibility and Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is
understood and agreed that the Trust shall at all times retain the ultimate responsibility for and
control of all functions performed pursuant to this Agreement and reserves the right to direct,
approve or disapprove any action hereunder taken on its behalf by the Fund Manager, provided,
however, that the Fund Manager shall not be liable for any losses to the Trust resulting from the
Trust’s direction, or from the Trust’s disapproval of any action proposed to be taken by the Fund
Manager.
12. Services Not Exclusive. It is understood that the services of the Fund Manager and its
employees are not exclusive, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Fund Manager (or its
employees or affiliates) from providing similar services to other clients, including investment
companies (whether or not their investment objectives and policies are similar to those of the
Funds) or from engaging in other activities.
13. Liability. Except as may otherwise be required by the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder or
other applicable law, the Trust and the Investment Adviser agree that the Fund Manager, any
affiliated person of the Fund Manager, and each person, if any, who, within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act, controls the Fund Manager, shall not be liable for, or subject to any damages,
expenses, or losses in connection with, any act or omission connected with or arising out of any
services rendered under this Agreement, except by reason of willful
9
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of the Fund Manager’s duties,
or by reason of reckless disregard of the Fund Manager’s obligations and duties under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund Manager may be liable to the Trust for acts of
good faith and nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of
rights that the Trust may have under federal or state securities laws.

negligence in the performance of his duties, or by reason of his reckless disregard of obligations
and duties under this Agreement.
(b) The Investment Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund Manager, any
affiliated person within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act of the Fund Manager and
each person, if any, who, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act controls (“controlling
