2. Portfolio Manager Duties. Subject to the supervision of the Fund's
-------------------------
Board of Trustees and the Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will provide a
continuous investment program for the Portfolio and determine the composition of
the assets of the Portfolio, including determination of the purchase, retention,
or sale of the securities, cash, and other investments, including futures
contracts and options thereon, for the Portfolio. The Portfolio Manager will
provide investment research and analysis, which may consist of computerized
investment methodology, and will conduct a continuous program of evaluation,
investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Portfolio's assets by determining the
securities and other investments that shall be purchased, entered into, sold,
closed, or exchanged for the Portfolio, when these transactions should be
executed, and what portion of the assets of the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. To the extent permitted by the investment policies of
the Portfolio, the Portfolio Manager shall make decisions for the Portfolio 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 Portfolio.
The Portfolio Manager is authorized to exercise tender offers, exchange offers
and to vote proxies on behalf of the Fund, each as the Portfolio Manager
determines is in the best interest of the Fund. In performing these duties, the
Portfolio Manager:
(a) Will (1) manage the Portfolio so that it will qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and
(2) manage the Portfolio so as to ensure compliance by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 (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
Fund, the Adviser or the Portfolio Manager), (2) with
2
all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to
investment vehicles underlying variable annuity and/or variable life insurance
contracts, (3) with any applicable procedures, policies and guidelines adopted
by the Fund's Board of Trustees, (4) with the Portfolio's objectives, investment
policies and investment restrictions as stated in the Fund's Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information, 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
Portfolio 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio, 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. 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, indicating the brokers, dealers or
FCMs to which such allocations have been made and the basis therefor.
3
(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. 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 in the judgment of the Portfolio Manager in the
exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.
(f) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the
Portfolio, 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 Portfolio, 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 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 Portfolio for which the custodian and recordkeeping agent
seeks assistance from the Portfolio Manager or identifies for review by the
Portfolio Manager.
(h) 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 consistent
with applicable laws and regulations.
(i) Will regularly report to the Fund's Board of Trustees on the investment
program for the Portfolio and the issuers and securities represented in the
Portfolio's portfolio, and will furnish the Fund's Board of Trustees with
respect to the portfolio such periodic and special reports as the Trustees and
the Adviser may reasonably request.
(j) Will not disclose or use any records or information obtained pursuant
to this Agreement (excluding investment research and investment advice) in any
manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or in the
ordinary course of business in connection with placing orders for the purchase
and sale of securities or obtaining investment licenses in various countries or
the opening of custody accounts and dealing with settlement agents in various
countries,
4

and disclose such information only if the Board of Trustees of the Fund has
authorized such disclosure, or if such disclosure is required by applicable
federal or state law or regulations or regulatory authorities having the
requisite authority. The Fund and the Adviser will not disclose or use any
records or information respecting the Portfolio Manager obtained pursuant to
this Agreement in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized in this
Agreement, and will keep confidential any information obtained pursuant to this
Agreement, and disclose such information only as expressly authorized in this
Agreement, if the Board of Trustees of the Fund has authorized such disclosure,
or if such disclosure is required by applicable federal or state law or
regulations or regulatory authorities having the requisite authority.

material connection with the handling of the Portfolio if such employee has:

misdemeanor involving the purchase or sale of any security or arising out of
such person's conduct as an underwriter, broker, dealer, investment adviser,
municipal securities dealer, government securities broker, government securities
