will promptly provide the Sub-Adviser with copies properly certified or

Commission;
(k) The Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws; and

4. PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The
Sub-Adviser is hereby employed and authorized to select portfolio
securities for investment by the Series, to purchase and to sell
securities for the Series Account, and upon making any purchase
or sale decision, to place orders for the execution of such

hereof and Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time). In
providing portfolio management services to the Series Account,
the Sub-Adviser shall be subject to and shall conform to such
investment restrictions as are set forth in the 1940 Act and the
rules thereunder, the Internal Revenue Code, applicable state
securities laws, applicable statutes and regulations of foreign
jurisdictions, the supervision and control of the Board of Trustees
of the Fund, such specific instructions as the Board of Trustees
may adopt and communicate to the Sub-Adviser, the investment
objective, policies and restrictions of the Fund applicable to the
Series furnished pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, the
provisions of Schedule A and Schedule B hereto and other instructions
communicated to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is
not authorized by the Fund to take any action, including the purchase
or sale of securities for the Series Account, in contravention of
any restriction, limitation, objective, policy or instruction
described in the previous sentence. The Sub-Adviser shall maintain
on behalf of the Fund the records listed in Schedule B hereto (as
amended from time to time). At the Fund's reasonable request, the
Sub-Adviser will consult with the Fund or with the Adviser with
respect to any decision made by it with respect to the investments
of the Series Account.
5. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS. The Fund will
provide the Sub-Adviser with the statement of investment objective,
policies and restrictions applicable to the Series as contained
in the Series' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information,
all amendments or supplements to the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, and any instructions adopted by the Board of
Trustees supplemental thereto. The Fund agrees, on an ongoing
basis, to notify the Sub-Adviser in writing of each change in the
fundamental and non-fundamental
investment policies of the Series and will provide the Sub-Adviser
with such further information concerning the investment objective,
policies, restrictions and such other information applicable
thereto as the Sub-Adviser may from time to time reasonably
request for performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
The Fund retains the right, on written notice to the Sub-Adviser
or the Adviser, to modify any such objective, policies or
restrictions in accordance with applicable laws, at any time.
6. TRANSACTION PROCEDURES. All transactions will be consummated
by payment to or delivery by the custodian designated by the
Fund (the "Custodian"), or such depositories or agents as may be
designated by the Custodian in writing, of all cash and/or
securities due to or from the Series Account, and the Sub-Adviser
shall not have possession or custody thereof. The Sub-Adviser
shall advise the Custodian and confirm in writing to the Fund and
to the administrator designated by the Fund or any other
designated agent of the Fund, all investment orders for the
Series Account placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time
and in the manner set forth in Schedule B hereto (as amended from
time to time). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such
instructions as may be appropriate in connection with the
settlement of any transaction initiated by the Sub-Adviser.
The Fund shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements
and the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and, upon
giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the Sub-Adviser
shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial
arrangements or the acts, omissions or other conduct of the
Custodian, except that it shall be the responsibility of the
Sub-Adviser to take appropriate action if the Custodian fails to
confirm in writing proper execution of the instructions.
7. ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE. The Sub-Adviser shall have authority and
discretion to select brokers and dealers (including brokers that may be
affiliates of the Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by Section 7(c)
hereof) to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Sub-Adviser,
and for the selection of the markets on or in which the transactions
will be executed, subject to the following and subject to conformance
with the policies and procedures disclosed in the Fund's Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information and the policies and procedures
adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(a) In executing portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser will
give primary consideration to securing the best price and
execution. Consistent with this policy, the Sub-Adviser
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 Sub-Adviser may be a party. It is understood
that neither the Fund, the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser has
adopted a formula for allocation of the Fund's investment
transaction business. It is also understood that it is
desirable for the Fund that the Sub-Adviser 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 commission to
the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other
brokers on the basis of seeking the lowest commission.
Therefore, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place orders
for the
purchase and sale of securities for the Series with certain
such brokers, subject to review by the Fund's Board of
Trustees 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
Sub-Adviser in connection with its services to other clients
of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is also authorized to
place orders with certain brokers for services deemed by the
Adviser to be beneficial for the Fund; and the Sub-Adviser
shall follow the directions of the Adviser or the Fund in
this regard.
(b) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale
of a security to be in the best interest of the Series as well
as other clients of the Sub Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, to the
extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but
shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to
be sold or purchased in order to obtain the best price and
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 Sub-Adviser in the manner it
considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its
fiduciary obligations to the Fund in respect of the Series and
to such other clients.
(c) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not execute without the
prior written approval of the Adviser any portfolio
transactions for the Series Account with a broker or dealer
which is (i) an affiliated person of the Fund, including the
Adviser or any Sub-Adviser for any Series of the Fund; (ii) a
principal underwriter of the Fund's shares; or (iii) an
affiliated person of such an affiliated person or principal
underwriter. The Adviser agrees that it will provide the
Sub-Adviser with a list of such brokers and dealers.
(d) The Adviser shall render regular reports to the Fund of the
total brokerage business placed and the manner in which the
allocation has been accomplished.
8. PROXIES. The Sub-Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with
respect to issuers of securities in which assets of the Series Account
may be invested from time to time. At the request of the Sub-Adviser,
the Adviser shall provide the Sub-Adviser with its recommendations as
to the voting of such proxies.
9. REPORTS TO THE SUB-ADVISER. The Fund will provide the Sub-Adviser with
such periodic reports concerning the status of the Series Account as
the Sub-Adviser may reasonably request.
10. FEES FOR SERVICES. The compensation of the Sub-Adviser for its services
under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Adviser in
accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the provisions of
the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the
Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of fees to the
Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Adviser agrees to seek payment of the
Sub-Adviser's fees solely from the Adviser.
11. OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The Fund
acknowledges that the Sub-Adviser or one or more of its
affiliated persons may have investment responsibilities or
render investment advice to or perform other investment advisory
services for other individuals or entities and that the Sub-Adviser,
its affiliated persons or any of its or their directors, officers,
agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for
its or their own respective accounts ("Affiliated Accounts").
Subject to the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, the Fund
agrees that the Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons may give
advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other
action with respect to other Affiliated Accounts which may differ
from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with
respect to the Series Account, provided that the Sub-Adviser acts
in good faith, and provided further, that it is the Sub-Adviser's
policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment
opportunities to the Series Account over a period of time on a
fair and equitable basis relative to the Affiliated Accounts,
taking into account the investment objective and policies of the
Series and any specific investment restrictions applicable
thereto. The Fund acknowledges that one or more of the
Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase,
decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in
investments in which the Series Account may have an interest
from time to time, whether in transactions which involve the
Series Account or otherwise. The Sub-Adviser shall have no
obligation to acquire for the Series Account a position in
any investment which any Affiliated Account may acquire, and
the Fund shall have no first refusal, co-investment or other
rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Series
Account or otherwise.
12. CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY. The Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser
shall furnish to each other from time to time certified copies of the
resolutions of their Boards of Trustees/Directors or executive
committees, as the case may be, evidencing the authority of officers
and employees who are authorized to act on behalf of the Fund, a Series
Account, the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any
action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable
judgment, in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement,
or in accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or
instructions from the Fund or the Adviser, provided, however, that such
acts or omissions shall not have resulted from the Sub-Adviser's
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or a reckless
disregard of duty. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed in a
manner inconsistent with Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act.
14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Subject to the duty of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser
and the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any
regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto
shall treat as confidential all material non-public information
pertaining to the Series Account and the actions of the Sub-Adviser,
the Adviser and the Fund in respect thereof.
15. ASSIGNMENT. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by the
Sub-Adviser, and this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the
event of such assignment. The Sub-Adviser shall notify the Fund and the
Adviser in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of
control within the meaning of the 1940 Act to enable the Fund and the
Adviser to take the steps necessary to enter into a new contract with
the Sub-Adviser.
