("Board") and VKAM, the Sub-Adviser shall manage the investment and
reinvestment of the assets of each of the Funds, determine in its
discretion the securities to be purchased or sold and the portion of each
Fund's assets to be held uninvested, to provide the Trust with records
concerning the Sub-Adviser's activities which the Trust is required to

Board concerning the Sub-Adviser's discharge of the foregoing
responsibilities. The Sub-Adviser and its affiliates shall for all purposes

deliver all applications, requests, or claims for refund, reduction,
repayment or credit of, or exemption or relief from, any withholding tax or
similar taxes in any jurisdiction in which such applications, requests or
claims may be made. Subject to guidelines adopted by the Funds, the
Sub-Adviser shall also make recommendations or take action as to the manner
in which voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other
rights pertaining to the portfolio of assets of each Fund shall be
exercised.
(iii) In performing these services, the Sub-Adviser shall always
adhere to the restrictions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws,
as they may be amended and/or restated from time to time and as provided to
the Sub-Adviser by VKAM, any and all policies, procedures and guidelines
adopted by the Board on behalf of the Funds, the provisions of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the
statements relating to each Fund's respective investment objective(s),
investment policies and investment restrictions as set forth in the
currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information
relating to the shares of each Fund under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Prospectus" and "Statement of Additional Information," respectively), as
well as to the supervision of VKAM and the Board.
(iv) Unless otherwise instructed by VKAM or the Board, and subject to
the provisions of this Agreement and to any guidelines or limitations
specified from time to time by VKAM or by the Board, the Sub-Adviser shall
have executed and performed on behalf of and at the expense of the
respective Funds:
(1) Purchases, sales, exchanges, conversions, and placement or
orders for execution; and
(2) Reporting of all transactions to VKAM and to other entities
as directed by VKAM or by the Board.
(v) The Sub-Adviser shall provide the Board at least quarterly, in
advance of the regular meetings of the Board, a report of its activities
hereunder on behalf of the Trust and the Funds and the Sub-Adviser's
proposed strategy for the next quarter, all in such form and detail as
requested by VKAM and the Board. The Sub-Adviser shall also make an
investment officer available to attend such meetings of the Board, as VKAM
and the Board may reasonably request.
(vi) The Sub-Adviser may, where reasonable, employ agents (including
affiliates) to perform any administrative, dealing or ancillary services
required to enable the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this
Sub-Advisory Agreement; however Sub-Adviser will notify VKAM of any such
delegation.
(b) Restriction of the Sub-Adviser's Powers
(i) In carrying out its duties hereunder, the Sub-Adviser shall comply
with all reasonable instructions of the Trust or VKAM in connection
therewith. Such instructions may be given by letter, telex, telefax or
telephone confirmed by telex, by the Board or by any other person
authorized by a resolution of the Board provided a certified copy of such
resolution has been supplied to the Sub-Adviser.
(ii) All securities, cash and other assets of the Funds shall be
placed and maintained in the care of a member bank of the Federal Reserve
System of the United States approved by the
-2-
Board as custodian and one or more "Eligible Foreign Custodians" (as
defined in Rule 17f-5 under the Investment Company Act).
(iii) Persons authorized by resolution of the Board shall have the
right to inspect and copy contracts, notes, vouchers, and copies of entries
in books or electronic recording media relating to the Trust's transactions
at the registered office of the Sub-Adviser at any time during normal
business hours. Such records, in relation to each transaction effected by
the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Trust, shall be maintained by the
Sub-Adviser for a period of seven years from the date of each respective
transaction or such longer period as specified by applicable law.
(c) Purchase and Sale of Securities
In performing the services described above, the Sub-Adviser shall use its
best efforts to obtain for the Funds the most favorable price and execution
available. Subject to prior authorization of appropriate policies and procedures
by the Board, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent authorized by law, cause the
Funds to pay a broker or dealer who provides brokerage and research services an
amount of commission for effecting the Funds' investment transactions in excess
of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting such transactions, in recognition of the brokerage and research
services provided by the broker or dealer. To the extent authorized by law, the

duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of such action.

Trust relating to the Funds as filed with the Securities and Exchange
