2. Portfolio Manager Duties. Subject to the supervision of the Fund's
-------------------------
Board of Trustees and the Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will provide a

of the assets of the Portfolios. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio's assets by determining the securities, cash and
other investments, including futures and options contracts, if any, that shall

Portfolios, when these transactions should be executed, and what portion of the
assets of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios. To
the extent permitted by the written investment policies of the Portfolios, the
Portfolio Manager shall make decisions for the Portfolios 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 Portfolios. The Portfolio
Manager is authorized to exercise tender offers, exchange offers and to vote
proxies on behalf of the Portfolio, each as the Portfolio Manager determines is
in the best interest of the Portfolio. In performing these duties, the
Portfolio Manager:
(a) Will (i) manage each of the Portfolios so that it will meet the
requirements of Section 851(b)(2) and (3) Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code and (ii) manage the Portfolios so as to ensure compliance by the Portfolios
with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code and Regulations issued thereunder. The Adviser will notify the Portfolio
Manager of any amendments to the Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code and
Regulations issued thereunder. In managing the Portfolios 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 (i) 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), (ii) with all other
applicable federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to investment
vehicles underlying variable annuity and/or variable life insurance contracts,
(iii)
2
with any applicable written procedures, policies and guidelines adopted by
the Fund's Board of Trustees and furnished to Portfolio Manager, (iv) with the
Portfolio's objectives, investment policies and investment restrictions as
stated in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as
supplemented or amended from time to time, as furnished to the Portfolio
Manager, 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
Portfolios that constitutes stock in a Passive Foreign Investment Company
("PFIC"), as that term is defined in Section 1296 of the Internal Revenue 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 Portfolios, 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 Portfolios, 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 and furnished to
the Portfolio Manager. 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, 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios
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 Portfolios 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,
3
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 as
furnished to Portfolio 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 Portfolio Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable and
consistent with the Portfolio Manager's fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to
such other clients.
(f) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities
for the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios, 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 determine or 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 Portfolios for which the custodian
and recordkeeping agent seeks assistance from the Portfolio Manager or
identifies for review by the Portfolio Manager. This includes (but is not
limited to) obtaining bids and offers or quotes from broker/dealers or market-
makers, verifying pricing and providing fair valuations in accordance with Fund
procedures, as they may be amended from time to time.
(h) Will maintain and preserve such records related to each
Portfolio's transactions as required under the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act.
The Portfolio Manager 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

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
