Investment Adviser in writing, whereupon such portfolio(s) shall become a
Portfolio hereunder, and be subject to this Agreement.
2. PORTFOLIO MANAGER DUTIES.
------------------------
Portfolio Manager shall, subject to the supervision of the Pacific Select
Fund's Board of Trustees and the Investment Adviser, provide a continuous
investment program for the Portfolios and determine the composition 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 investment and reinvestment of the Portfolios'
assets by determining the securities, cash and other investments, including, but
not limited to, futures and options contracts, if any, that shall be purchased,
entered into, retained, sold, closed, or exchanged for the 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 and in accordance with the
Portfolio Manager's judgment, the Portfolio Manager may 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. Absent specific written instructions to the
contrary provided to the Portfolio Manager by the Investment Adviser, Portfolio
Manager is responsible for and authorized to and shall exercise tender offers
and exchange offers, and shall vote proxies on behalf of each Portfolio, each as
the Portfolio Manager determines is in the best interest of the Portfolio.
In performing these duties, the Portfolio Manager:
(a) 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 Investment Adviser or the Portfolio Manager and received by the
Portfolio Manager), (2) all other applicable federal and state laws and
regulations pertaining to registered open-end investment management companies
and vehicles underlying variable annuity and/or variable life insurance
contracts, (3) any applicable written procedures, policies and guidelines
adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees and furnished to Portfolio Manager, (4)
the Fund'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) 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 Investment 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, procedures, policies and guidelines
previously furnished to the Portfolio Manager by the Investment Advise, (6)
Section 851(b)(2) and (3) of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), (7) the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code,
applicable to the Portfolio and (8) any other applicable laws and regulations
including without limitation, proxy voting regulations.
(b) 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. Absent instructions from
Investment Adviser to the contrary, Portfolio Manager shall place all orders for
the purchase and sale of securities for the Portfolio(s) with brokers or dealers
selected by Portfolio Manager, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with Portfolio Manager. Purchase or sell orders for the Portfolios may be
aggregated with contemporaneous purchase or sell orders of other clients of
Portfolio Manager. Portfolio Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain
execution of Portfolio transactions at prices that are advantageous to the
Portfolios and at commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. However, Portfolio Manager may select brokers or dealers on
the basis that they provide brokerage research, or other services or products to
the Portfolio(s) and/or other accounts serviced by Portfolio Manager.
The Portfolio Manager is authorized to open brokerage accounts on behalf of
the Portfolios in accordance with Fund procedures.
The Portfolio Manager may effect the purchase and sale of securities (which
are otherwise publicly traded) in private transactions on such terms and
conditions as are customary in such transactions, may use a broker to effect
said transactions, and may enter into a contract in which the broker acts either
as principal or as agent.
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. The abilities of a
broker-dealer to obtain best execution of particular portfolio transaction(s)
will be judged by the Portfolio Manager on the basis of all relevant factors and
considerations including, insofar as feasible: the execution capabilities
required by the transaction or transactions; the ability and willingness of the
broker-dealer to facilitate the Portfolio's portfolio transactions by
participating therein for its own account; the importance to the Portfolio of
speed, efficiency or confidentiality; the broker-dealer's apparent familiarity
with sources from or to whom particular
securities might be purchased or sold; as well as any other matters relevant to
the selection of a broker-dealer for particular and related transactions of the
Portfolio.
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 fund 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 and not all such services or products
may be used by the Portfolio Manager in managing the Portfolios.
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, indicating
the brokers, dealers or FCMs to which such allocations have been made.
The Portfolio Manager shall have no duty or obligation to seek advance
competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any
particular portfolio transactions or to select any broker-dealer on the basis of
its purported or "posted" commission rate but will, to the best of its ability,
endeavor to be aware of the current level of the charges of eligible
broker-dealers and to minimize the expense incurred by the Portfolios for
effecting its portfolio transactions to the extent consistent with the interests
of the Portfolio. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this provision, the
Portfolio Manager may also consider sales of shares of the Portfolios and other
funds advised by Portfolio Manager or its affiliates as a factor in the
selection of broker-dealers for the Portfolios' portfolio transactions.
(c) Portfolio Manager shall furnish Investment Adviser monthly,
quarterly, and annual reports concerning transactions and performance of each
Portfolio in such form as
may be mutually agreed upon, and agrees to review and discuss the management of
each Portfolio. The Portfolio Manager will select which of its officers and
employees to make available pursuant to this provision. Portfolio Manager shall
permit the books and records maintained by the Portfolio Manager with respect to
each Portfolio to be inspected and audited by the Investment Adviser at all
reasonable times during normal business hours. Portfolio Manager shall also
provide Investment Adviser and the Fund with such other information and reports
as may reasonably be requested by Investment Adviser and the Fund from time to
time in such form as may be mutually agreed upon, other than proprietary
information and provided that Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible for
fund accounting.
(d) Portfolio Manager shall provide to Investment Adviser a copy of
Portfolio Manager's Form ADV, and any supplements or amendments thereto, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on an annual basis, (or more
frequently if requested by the Investment Adviser or the Fund's Board of
Trustees) and a list of persons who Portfolio Manager wishes to have authorized
to give written and/or oral instructions to the Fund's Custodians for the
Portfolios' assets.
(e) Portfolio Manager will, in connection with the purchase and sale
of securities for the Portfolios, together with Investment Adviser, arrange for
the transmission to the custodian, and the 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 each 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 the Portfolios' 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,
recordkeeping agent, and, if required, to the Investment Adviser. Portfolio
Manager agrees to comply with such rules, procedures, and time frames as the
Fund's custodian may set or provide with respect to the clearance and settlement
of transaction for the Fund. Any assets added to the Portfolios shall be
delivered directly to the custodian.
(f) Portfolio Manager 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
of the Portfolios' securities or other assets of the Portfolios for which the
custodian and recordkeeping agent seeks assistance from Portfolio Manager or
identifies for review by Portfolio Manager; provided, however, that the parties
acknowledge that Portfolio Manager is not the fund accounting agent for the
Portfolios and is not responsible for pricing determinations or calculations and
any information provided pursuant to this provision by Portfolio Manager will be
provided for information purposes only.
(g) Portfolio Manager will report regularly to the Fund's Board of
Trustees on the investment program for each Portfolio and the issuers and
securities represented in each Portfolio and will furnish the Fund's Board of
Trustees with respect to the Portfolios such periodic and special reports as the
Trustees and Investment Adviser may reasonably request,
including, but not limited to, the monthly compliance checklist, reports
regarding compliance with the Fund's procedures pursuant to Rules 17e-1. 17a-7,
10f-3 and 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act, fundamental investment restrictions,
liquidity determination of securities purchased pursuant to Rule 144A and 4(2)
commercial paper, and compliance with the Fund's or, if adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the Portfolio Manager's Code of Ethics, and such other procedures or
requirements that the Fund or Investment Adviser may reasonably request from
time to time.
(h) Portfolio Manager shall be responsible for the preparation and
filing of Schedule 13G and Form 13F for each Portfolio, on behalf of the Fund.
Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any
other reports required of the Fund by any governmental or regulatory agency,
except as expressly agreed to in writing.
(i) Will: (i) use reasonable efforts to identify, using the Portfolio
Manager's internal procedures and process, each position in the Portfolios that
the Portfolio Manager believes to be stock in a Passive Foreign Investment
Company ("PFIC"), as that term is defined in Section 1296 of the Internal
Revenue Code, and (ii) 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.
(j) Portfolio Manager will not knowingly 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 its duties hereunder, including placing orders for the purchase and sale of
securities, and will keep confidential any information obtained pursuant to this
Agreement, 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
requisite authority. The Fund and Investment Adviser will not knowingly disclose
or use any records or information respecting 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 by
this Agreement, if Portfolio Manager 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.
(k) Portfolio Manager makes no representation or warranty, express or
implied, that any level of performance or investment results will be achieved by
the Portfolios, whether on a relative or absolute basis.

with respect to other clients, which advice or action, including the timing and
