WHEREAS, the Corporation is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and offers seven
series of portfolios, one of which is the Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are registered
as investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Corporation have entered
into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment
Advisory Agreement"), pursuant to which the Adviser serves as
investment manager of the Fund and may delegate certain
investment management duties to one or more sub-adviser(s);
and
WHEREAS, the Adviser, with the approval of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Board"), including a
majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons"
(defined herein) of any party to this Agreement, desires to
delegate to the Sub-Adviser the duty to manage a portion of
the assets of the Fund as designated by the Adviser from time
to time (the "Segment");
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and
mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed among the
parties hereto as follows:
1. Appointment of Sub-Adviser. The Adviser hereby
appoints the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees to
provide the services described in Section 2 below for
investment and reinvestment of the securities and other
assets of the Segment for the period and on the terms
hereinafter set forth, subject to the terms of this Agreement
and subject to the direction, control and supervision of the
Adviser and the Board. The Sub-Adviser's duties hereunder
shall not preclude the Sub-Adviser from providing services of
a like nature to any other person, firm or corporation.
2. Services of Sub-Adviser.
(a) The Sub-Adviser shall perform the following
services on behalf of the Fund:
(i) provide investment advisory services,
including but not limited to portfolio
securities selection, research, advice and
supervision for the Segment;
(ii) manage the investment and reinvestment of all
assets, now or hereafter a part of the
Segment, including placing orders for the
purchase and sale of securities and other
assets in its discretion and without prior
consultation with the Adviser, subject, in all
cases, to (A) the Fund's investment objective,
strategies, and restrictions as stated in the
Fund's prospectus and statement of additional
information, as both may be amended from time
to time, hereinafter referred to as the
"Approved Investment Program," and (B) the
provisions of the 1940 Act and rules and
regulations thereunder;
(iii) instruct the Fund's custodian to deliver
for cash received securities or other cash
and/or securities instruments sold, exchanged,
redeemed or otherwise disposed of from the
Segment, and to pay cash for securities or
other cash and/or securities instruments
delivered to the custodian and/or credited to
the Segment upon acquisition of the same for
the Segment;
(iv) report on the activities in the performance of
its duties and obligations under this
Agreement to the Board at such times and in
such detail as the Board may reasonably
request, and keep the Board and the Adviser
informed of important developments affecting
the Segment, and on its own initiative furnish
the Adviser and the Board from time-to-time
with such information as the Sub-Adviser may
believe appropriate, whether concerning the
individual companies whose securities are held
in the Segment, the industries in which they
engage, or the economic, social or political
conditions prevailing in each country in which
the Segment maintains investments;
(v) furnish, at its own expense, (A) all necessary
investment and management facilities,
including compensation of personnel required
for it to execute its duties hereunder, and
(B) administrative facilities, including
bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment
necessary for the efficient conduct of the
investment management and administration of
the Segment; and
(vi) provide upon reasonable request assistance and
recommendations for the determination of the
fair value of certain securities held as part
of the Segment when reliable market quotations
are not readily available for purposes of
calculating net asset value in accordance with
procedures and methods established by the
Board.
(b) In connection with the performance of its
services hereunder, the Sub-Adviser shall:
(i) open accounts with broker-dealers
(collectively, "Broker-Dealers"), select
Broker-Dealers to effect all transactions for
the Segment, place all necessary orders with
Broker-Dealers or issuers, and negotiate
commissions, if applicable;
(ii) aggregate purchase or sell orders for the
Segment with contemporaneous purchase or sell
orders of its other clients to the extent
consistent with applicable law and the
Approved Investment Program; provided that in
such event, allocation of securities so sold
or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred
in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-
Adviser in the manner the Sub-Adviser
considers to be the most equitable, and
consistent with applicable law and regulations
and its fiduciary obligations to the Fund; and
(iii) seek to obtain best execution of
transactions for the Segment at prices which
are advantageous to the Segment and at
commission rates that are reasonable in
relation to the benefits received.
To the extent consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Sub-Adviser may pay a Broker-Dealer
an amount of commission for effecting a securities
transaction in excess of the amount of commission another
Broker-Dealer would have charged for effecting such
transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the
value of the brokerage and research products and/or services
provided by such Broker-Dealer. This determination, with
respect to brokerage and research products and/or services,
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Adviser has
with respect to the Segment, as well as to other accounts
over which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion.
(c) With respect to any investments for the Fund
that are permitted to be made by the Sub-Adviser in
accordance with this Agreement and the Approved Investment
Program, the Sub-Adviser shall do and perform every act and
thing it deems to be necessary or incidental in performing
its duties and obligations under this Agreement including,
but not limited to, executing as agent on behalf of the Fund,
as the case may be, such agreements and other documentation
as may be required for the purchase or sale, assignment,
transfer and ownership of any investment permitted pursuant
to the Approved Investment Program, including, but not
limited to, limited partnership agreements, future and option
contracts, repurchase and derivatives agreements, including
any schedules and annexes to such agreements, releases,
consents, elections and confirmations. The Corporation will
provide the Sub-Adviser with tax information, governing
documents, legal opinions and other information concerning
the Corporation necessary to complete trading account
agreements and other documentation.
3. Responsibilities of Sub-Adviser.

Agreement, the Sub-Adviser agrees to:

operation of the Corporation as an open-end
investment company or as necessary to comply
with Section 3(a) of this Agreement;

or any other fund of the Corporation concerning transactions
for other segments of the Fund and for other funds of the
Corporation in securities or other investments, other than

shall be limited to providing investment advice only with
respect to the Segment.
(c) The Sub-Adviser is not responsible to act for
the Fund in any legal proceedings, including the filing of
claims relating to investments held as part of the Segment in
bankruptcies or class actions, involving securities held or
previously held as part of the Segment or the issuers of such
securities; provided that the Sub-Adviser shall advise and
consult with the Adviser with respect to any such proceedings
of which the Sub-Adviser becomes aware. The Adviser and the
Corporation agree and understand that the Sub-Adviser is not
responsible to vote or give any advice about how to vote
proxies for securities held as part of the Segment; however,
the Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for advising, in a
timely manner, on corporate actions, such as mergers and
tender offers, involving portfolio securities held in the
Segment.
4. Receipt of Documents. The Sub-Adviser hereby
acknowledges receipt of each of (i) the Corporation's Charter
and Bylaws; (ii) the Fund's most recent prospectus and
statement of additional information (such prospectus together
with the related statement of additional information, as
presently in effect and all amendments and supplements
thereto, are herein called the "Registration Statement"); and
(iii) policies, procedures, guidelines or instructions
regarding the Fund that relate to obligations and services to
be provided by the Sub-Adviser.
5. Confidentiality of Information. (a) None of the
Adviser, the Fund, or the Sub-Adviser shall disclose
information of a confidential nature acquired in connection
with this Agreement, including any non-public information
about shareholders of the Fund or the Fund, except for
information that they may be entitled or bound to disclose by
law, regulation or court order, or which is disclosed to
their advisers where reasonably necessary for the performance
of their professional services. The Sub-Adviser shall also
comply with the Fund's policies with respect to disclosure of
portfolio holdings.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5(a), to the extent that any Broker-Dealer or counterparty
with whom the Sub-Adviser deals on behalf of the Segment
requires information relating to the Fund or Segment
(including, but not limited to, the identity of the Adviser
or the Fund and market value of the Fund or Segment), the
Sub-Adviser shall be permitted to disclose such information
to the extent necessary to effect transactions on behalf of
the Segment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
6. Compensation. As full compensation for all
services rendered and obligations assumed by the Sub-Adviser
hereunder with respect to the Segment, the Adviser shall pay
the compensation specified in Appendix A to this Agreement.
The Sub-Adviser acknowledges and agrees that the Adviser
shall be solely responsible for the fees of the Sub-Adviser
for its services hereunder, and the Sub-Adviser shall have no
claim against the Corporation or the Fund with respect to its
compensation under this Agreement.
7. Standard of Care and Liability of Sub-Adviser. (a)
The Sub-Adviser shall exercise its best judgment and efforts
in rendering the services under this Agreement. The Sub-
Adviser shall not be liable for any losses suffered by the
Fund resulting from any error of judgment or mistake of law
in connection with the performance of its duties under this
Agreement, except for losses resulting from a breach of
fiduciary duty or from willful misfeasance, bad faith,
negligence or reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder of the Sub-Adviser or any of its officers,
directors, members, employees, agents or affiliates, or from
any violations of securities or any other applicable laws,
rules, regulations, statues and codes, whether federal or
state, by the Sub-Adviser or any of its officers, directors,
members, employees, agents or affiliates.
(b) In no event will the Sub-Adviser have any
responsibility for any portion of the Fund other than the
Segment, or for the acts or omissions of the Adviser or any
other sub-adviser to the Fund. In particular, the Sub-
Adviser shall have no responsibility for the Fund's being in
violation of any applicable law or regulation or investment
policy or restriction applicable to the Fund as a whole or
for the Fund's failing to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Code, if the securities and other holdings
of the Segment managed by the Sub-Adviser are such that the
Segment would not be in such violation or fail to so qualify
if the Segment were deemed a separate series of the
Corporation or a separate "regulated investment company"
under the Code. The Sub-Adviser shall take all necessary
steps to ensure the Fund's ongoing compliance with the Code,
any applicable law or regulation or investment policy or
restriction applicable to the Fund. The Sub-Adviser shall not
be responsible for any acts or omissions by any broker or
brokers selected by the Sub-Adviser, provided that the Sub-
Adviser is not negligent or breaches its fiduciary duties in
its selection of such broker or brokers and further provided
that the Sub-Adviser had not otherwise breached its standard
of care hereunder in connection with the act or omission.
Subject to obtaining best execution and other applicable law,
the Sub-Adviser is hereby authorized to combine orders on
behalf of the Fund with orders on behalf of other clients of
the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for
the acts, omissions or other conduct of the Fund's custodian.
Nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed a limitation or
waiver of any obligation or duty that may not by law be
limited or waived.
8. Indemnification. The Sub-Adviser shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Fund, the Corporation, and the Adviser
from and against any and all direct or indirect claims,
losses, liabilities or damages (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and other related expenses) resulting from a
breach of fiduciary duty, from willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser or any of its
officers, directors, members, employees, agents or affiliates
in connection with the performance of their duties under this
Agreement, from reckless disregard by it or its officers,
directors, members, employees, agents or affiliates of any of
their obligations and duties under this Agreement, or from
any violations of securities laws, rules, regulations,
statues and codes, whether federal or state, by the Sub-
Adviser or any of its officers, directors, members,
employees, agents or affiliates; provided, however, that the
Sub-Adviser shall not be required to indemnify or otherwise
hold the Fund or the Adviser harmless under this Section 8
where the claim against, or the loss, liability, or damage
experienced by the Fund or the Adviser, is caused by or is
otherwise directly related to the Fund's or the Adviser's own
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, or to the
reckless disregard by the Fund or the Adviser of their duties
under this Agreement.
9. Regulation. The Sub-Adviser shall submit to all
regulatory and administrative bodies having jurisdiction over
the services provided pursuant to this Agreement any
information, reports or other material that any such body may
request or require pursuant to applicable laws and
regulations.

APPENDIX A
SUB-ADVISORY FEES
The Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser, as full compensation
for all services provided under this Agreement, an annual fee
computed at the following annual rate:
The Sub-Adviser's fee shall be accrued for each calendar day
and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly
in arrears to the Sub-Adviser on or before the tenth business
day of the next succeeding calendar month. The daily fee
accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one
over the number of calendar days in the year by the
applicable annual rate set forth in the schedule above and
multiplying this product by the net assets of the Segment, as
determined in accordance with the Fund's prospectus and
statement of additional information as of the close of
business on the previous business day on which the Fund was
open for business. For each monthly fee payment, the Adviser
will provide the Sub-Adviser with a worksheet accompanying
payment of the sub-advisory fee that sets forth the
computation of such sub-advisory fee.
If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the
end of any month, the sub-advisory fee (if any) for the
period from such effective date to the end of such month or
from the beginning of such month to the date of such
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.
