SUBADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
Agreement dated as of _____, 1996, by and between Salomon
Brothers Asset Management Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of
England ("SBAM Limited") and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, a Delaware
Corporation ("SBAM").
1. SBAM, pursuant to a Management Contract (the
"Management Contract") dated the date hereof between SBAM and Salomon Brothers
Institutional Series Funds Inc, an open-end investment company (the "Company"),
SBAM is the investment manager of the Salomon Brothers Asia Growth Fund (the
"Fund"), an investment portfolio of the Company;
2. Pursuant to Section 2 of the Management Contract,
SBAM shall delegate the performance of certain administrative services to SBAM
Limited as are agreed to by the parties from time to time.
3. In consideration of the services to be rendered by
SBAM Limited under this agreement, SBAM shall pay SBAM Limited [a monthly fee
on the first business day of each month] at an annual rate of [____] of the
average daily value (as determined on the days and at the time set forth in the
Fund's prospectus for determining net asset value per share) of the Fund's net
assets during the preceding month. If the fee payable to the Investment
Manager pursuant to this paragraph 3 begins to accrue before the end of any
month or if this agreement terminates before the end of any month, the fee for
the period from such date to the end of such month or from the beginning of
such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated
according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which
such effectiveness or termination occurs. For purposes of calculating each
such monthly fee, the value of the Fund's net assets shall be computed in the
manner specified in the Fund's prospectus and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (as amended) for the computation of the value of the Fund's net
assets in connection with the determination of the net asset value of shares of
the Fund's capital stock.
4. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first
above written and shall remain in force for two years from the date hereof, and
for such successive annual periods thereafter but only so long as each such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (1) a vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) or
by the Company's Board of Directors and (2) a majority of the Directors of the
Company who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such
parties (other than as Directors of the Company), by vote cast in person at a
meeting duly called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
5. This Agreement may be terminated at any time without the
payment of any penalty: (1) by a vote of a majority of the entire
2
2
Board of Directors of the Company on sixty (60) days' written notice to SBAM
Limited and SBAM; (2) by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act); or (3) by SBAM
Limited or SBAM on 60 days' written notice to the Company.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of
its assignment, the term "assignment" for this purpose having the meaning
defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.
6. Nothing contained herein shall limit the obligations
of SBAM under the Management Contract.

the laws of the State of New York.
