time to time). In providing portfolio management services to the Series
Account, the Sub-Adviser shall be subject to and shall conform to such
investment restrictions as are set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules
thereunder, the Internal Revenue Code, applicable state securities
laws, applicable statutes and regulations of foreign jurisdictions, the
supervision and control of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, such
specific instructions as the Board of Trustees may adopt and
communicate to the Sub-Adviser, the investment objective, policies and
restrictions of the Fund applicable to the Series furnished pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement, the provisions of Schedule A and Schedule
B hereto and other instructions communicated to the Sub-Adviser by the
Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is not authorized by the Fund to take any
action, including the purchase or sale of securities for the Series
Account, in contravention of any restriction, limitation, objective,
policy or instruction described in the previous sentence. The
Sub-Adviser shall maintain on behalf of the Fund the records listed in
Schedule B hereto (as amended from time to time). At the Fund's
reasonable request, the Sub-Adviser will consult with the Fund or with
the Adviser with respect to any decision made by it with respect to the
investments of the Series Account.
5. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS. The Fund will provide
the Sub-Adviser with the statement of investment objective, policies
and restrictions applicable to the Series as contained in the Series'
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, all amendments or
supplements to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information,
and any instructions adopted by the Board of Trustees supplemental
thereto. The Fund agrees, on an ongoing basis, to notify the
Sub-Adviser in writing of each change in the fundamental and
non-fundamental investment policies of the Series and will provide the
Sub-Adviser with such further information concerning the investment
2
objective, policies, restrictions and such other information applicable
thereto as the Sub-Adviser may from time to time reasonably request for
performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Fund retains
the right, on written notice to the Sub-Adviser or the Adviser, to
modify any such objective, policies or restrictions in accordance with
applicable laws, at any time.
6. TRANSACTION PROCEDURES. All transactions will be consummated by payment
to or delivery by the custodian designated by the Fund (the
"Custodian"), or such depositories or agents as may be designated by
the Custodian in writing, of all cash and/or securities due to or from
the Series Account, and the Sub-Adviser shall not have possession or
custody thereof. The Sub-Adviser shall advise the Custodian and confirm
in writing to the Fund and to the administrator designated by the Fund
or any other designated agent of the Fund, all investment orders for
the Series Account placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time
and in the manner set forth in Schedule B hereto (as amended from time
to time). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as
may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of any transaction
initiated by the Sub-Adviser. The Fund shall be responsible for all
custodial arrangements and the payment of all custodial charges and
fees, and, upon giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the
Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to
custodial arrangements or the acts, omissions or other conduct of the
Custodian, except that it shall be the responsibility of the
Sub-Adviser to take appropriate action if the Custodian fails to
confirm in writing proper execution of the instructions.
7. ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE. The Sub-Adviser shall have authority and
discretion to select brokers and dealers (including brokers that may be
affiliates of the Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by Section 7(c)
hereof) to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Sub-Adviser,
and for the selection of the markets on or in which the transactions
will be executed, subject to the following and subject to conformance
with the policies and procedures disclosed in the Fund's Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information and the policies and procedures
adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(a) In executing portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser will give
primary consideration to securing the best price and execution.
Consistent with this policy, the Sub-Adviser may consider the
financial responsibility, research and investment information and
other services provided by brokers or dealers who may effect or be
a party to any such transaction or other transactions to which
other clients of the Sub-Adviser may be a party. It is understood
that neither the Fund, the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser has adopted
a formula for allocation of the Fund's investment transaction
business. It is also understood that it is desirable for the Fund
that the Sub-Adviser have access to supplemental investment and
market research and security and economic analyses provided by
certain brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher
commission to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to
other brokers on the basis of seeking the lowest commission.
Therefore, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place orders for the
purchase and sale of securities for the Series with certain such
brokers, subject
3
to review by the Fund's Board of Trustees from time to time with
respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is
understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful
to the Sub-Adviser in connection with its services to other clients
of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is also authorized to place
orders with certain brokers for services deemed by the Adviser to
be beneficial for the Fund; and the Sub-Adviser shall follow the
directions of the Adviser or the Fund in this regard.
(b) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a
security to be in the best interest of the Series as well as other
clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, to the extent
permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be
under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be sold or
purchased in order to obtain the best price and execution. In such
event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well
as expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the
Sub-Adviser in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund in respect of
the Series and to such other clients.
(c) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not execute without the prior
written approval of the Adviser any portfolio transactions for the
Series Account with a broker or dealer which is (i) an affiliated
person of the Fund, including the Adviser or any Sub-Adviser for
any Series of the Fund; (ii) a principal underwriter of the Fund's
shares; or (iii) an affiliated person of such an affiliated person
or principal underwriter. The Adviser agrees that it will provide
the Sub-Adviser with a list of such brokers and dealers.
(d) The Adviser shall render regular reports to the Fund of the total
brokerage business placed and the manner in which the allocation
has been accomplished.
8. PROXIES. The Sub-Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with
respect to issuers of securities in which assets of the Series Account
may be invested from time to time. At the request of the Sub-Adviser,
the Adviser shall provide the Sub-Adviser with its recommendations as
to the voting of such proxies.
9. REPORTS TO THE SUB-ADVISER. The Fund will provide the Sub-Adviser with
such periodic reports concerning the status of the Series Account as
the Sub-Adviser may reasonably request.
10. FEES FOR SERVICES. The compensation of the Sub-Adviser for its services
under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Adviser in
accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the provisions of
the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the
Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of fees to the
Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Adviser agrees to seek payment of the
Sub-Adviser's fees solely from the Adviser.

11. OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The Fund acknowledges
that the Sub-Adviser or one or more of its affiliated persons may have
investment responsibilities or render investment advice to or perform
other investment advisory services for other individuals or entities
and that the Sub-Adviser, its affiliated persons or any of its or their
directors, officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any
securities for its or their own respective accounts ("Affiliated
Accounts"). Subject to the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, the Fund
agrees that the Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons may give advice
or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with
respect to other Affiliated Accounts which may differ from the advice
given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the
Series Account, provided that the Sub-Adviser acts in good faith, and
provided further, that it is the Sub-Adviser's policy to allocate,
within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities to the
Series Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis
relative to the Affiliated Accounts, taking into account the investment
objective and policies of the Series and any specific investment
restrictions applicable thereto. The Fund acknowledges that one or more
of the Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase,
decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in
which the Series Account may have an interest from time to time,
whether in transactions which involve the Series Account or otherwise.
The Sub-Adviser shall have no obligation to acquire for the Series
Account a position in any investment which any Affiliated Account may
acquire, and the Fund shall have no first refusal, co-investment or
other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Series
Account or otherwise.
12. CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY. The Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser
shall furnish to each other from time to time certified copies of the
resolutions of their Boards of Trustees/Directors or executive
committees, as the case may be, evidencing the authority of officers
and employees who are authorized to act on behalf of the Fund, a Series
Account, the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any
action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable
judgment, in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement,
or in accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or
instructions from the Fund or the Adviser, provided, however, that such
acts or omissions shall not have resulted from the Sub-Adviser's
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or a reckless
disregard of duty. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed in a
manner inconsistent with Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act.
14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Subject to the duty of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser
and the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any
regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto
shall treat as confidential all material non-public information
pertaining to the Series Account and the actions of the Sub-Adviser,
the Adviser and the Fund in respect thereof.
5
15. ASSIGNMENT. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by the
Sub-Adviser, and this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the
event of such assignment. The Sub-Adviser shall notify the Fund and the
Adviser in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of
