1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"); and

Trustees of its performance of services hereunder upon request therefor and
furnish advice and recommendations with respect to such other aspects of the
business and affairs of the Fund as it shall determine to be desirable. JCC is

expenses incidental to its organization, operations and business not
specifically assumed or agreed to be paid by JCC pursuant to Sections 2 and 5
hereof, including, but not limited to, investment adviser fees; any
compensation, fees, or reimbursements which the Trust pays to its Trustees who
are not interested persons of JCC; compensation of the Fund's custodian,
transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent; legal, accounting,
audit and printing expenses; administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and
bookkeeping expenses; brokerage commissions and all other expenses in connection
with execution of portfolio transactions (including any appropriate commissions
paid to JCC or its affiliates for effecting exchange listed, over-the-counter or
other securities transactions); interest; all federal, state and local taxes

advice and recommendations of JCC as being advisory only, and shall retain full
control over its own investment policies. However, the Trustees may delegate to
the appropriate officers of the Trust, or to a committee of the Trustees, the
power to authorize purchases, sales or other actions affecting the portfolio of
the Fund in the interim between meetings of the Trustees.
8. Brokerage Commissions. For purposes of this Agreement, brokerage
commissions paid by the Fund upon the purchase or sale of its portfolio
securities shall be considered a cost of securities of the Fund and shall be
paid by the Fund. JCC is authorized and directed to place Fund portfolio
transactions only with brokers and dealers who render satisfactory service in
the execution of orders at the most favorable prices and at reasonable
commission rates, provided, however, that JCC may pay a broker or dealer an
amount of commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the
amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting
that transaction if JCC 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 overall responsibilities of JCC. JCC is also authorized to
consider sales of Trust shares as a factor in selecting broker-dealers to
execute Fund portfolio transactions. In placing portfolio business with such
broker-dealers, JCC shall seek the best execution of each transaction. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable requirements and provisions of
the law, including the 1940 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and in the event that JCC or an affiliate is registered as a
broker-dealer, JCC may select a broker or dealer with which it or the Fund is
affiliated. JCC or such affiliated broker-dealer may effect or execute Fund
portfolio transactions, whether on a securities exchange or in the
over-the-counter market, and receive separate compensation from the Fund
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall retain the right to
direct the placement of all portfolio transactions, and the Trustees of the
Trust may establish policies or guidelines to be followed by JCC in placing
portfolio transactions for the Trust pursuant to the foregoing provisions. JCC
shall report on the placement of portfolio transactions in the prior fiscal
quarter at each quarterly meeting of such Trustees.
9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without
penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, or by the shareholders of the Trust
acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities,
provided in either case that sixty (60) days advance written notice of
termination be given to JCC at its principal place of business. This Agreement
may be terminated by JCC at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days
advance written notice of termination to the Trust, addressed to its principal
place of business. The Trust agrees that, consistent with the terms of the
Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trust shall cease to use the name "Janus" in
connection with the Fund as soon as reasonably practicable following any
termination of this Agreement if JCC does not continue to provide investment
advice to the Fund after such termination.
-4-
10. Assignment. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event
of any assignment of this Agreement.
11. Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect until June 16, 1994,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, and shall continue in
effect from year to year thereafter only so long as such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees of the Trust who are not parties hereto or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the
approval of the terms of such renewal, and by either the Trustees of the Trust
or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Trust. The annual approvals provided for herein shall be effective to
continue this Agreement from year to year if given within a period beginning not
more than ninety (90) days prior to June 16 of each applicable year,
notwithstanding the fact that more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days may
have elapsed since the date on which such approval was last given.
12. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the parties only if such
amendment is specifically approved (i) by a majority of the Trustees, including
a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons (as that phrase is
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 0000 Xxx) of JCC and, if required by
applicable law, (ii) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund (as that phrase is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of
the 1940 Act).
13. Other Series. The Trustees shall determine the basis for making an
appropriate allocation of the Trust's expenses (other than those directly
attributable to the Fund) between the Fund and the other series of the Trust.
14. Limitation of Personal Liability. All the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that all liabilities of the Trust arising, directly or indirectly,
under this Agreement, of any and every nature whatsoever, shall be satisfied
solely out of the assets of the Fund and that no Trustee, officer or holder of
shares of beneficial interest of the Trust shall be personally liable for any of
the foregoing liabilities. The Trust's Declaration of Trust, as amended from
time to time, is on file in the Office of the Secretary of State of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Such Declaration of Trust describes in detail the
respective responsibilities and limitations on liability of the Trustees,
officers and holders of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.
15. Limitation of Liability of JCC. JCC shall not be liable for any error
of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or
for any act or omission taken with respect to the Trust, except for willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or
by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder and
except to the extent otherwise provided by law. As used in this Section 15,
"JCC" shall include any affiliate of JCC performing services for the Trust
contemplated hereunder and directors, officers and employees of JCC and such
affiliates.

16. Activities of JCC. The services of JCC to the Trust hereunder are not
to be deemed to be exclusive, and JCC and its affiliates are free to render
services to other parties. It is understood that trustees, officers and
shareholders of the Trust are or may become interested in JCC as directors,
officers and shareholders of JCC, that directors, officers, employees and
shareholders of JCC are or may become similarly interested in the Trust, and
that JCC may become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.
17. Certain Definitions. The terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities", "assignment" and "interested persons" when used herein,
shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect
or hereafter amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, subject to such
orders, exemptions and interpretations as may be issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under said Act and as may be then in effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused their duly authorized officers
to execute this Restated Investment Advisory Agreement as of this 21st day of
May, 1996.
