with Janus Investment Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Trust”) and an open-end,

Fund; and
WHEREAS, INTECH is engaged in the business of rendering investment advisory services and is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are

the oversight of Janus and to the overall control of the officers and the Board of Trustees (the
“Trustees”) of the Trust:
(a) INTECH shall manage the investment operations of the Fund and the composition of its
investment portfolio, shall determine without prior consultation with the Trust or Janus, what
securities and other assets of the Fund will be acquired, held, disposed of or loaned, and place
orders, or direct Janus to place orders, for the purchase or sale of such securities or other
assets with brokers, dealers or others, all in conformity with the investment objectives, policies
and restrictions and the other statements concerning the Fund in the Trust’s trust instrument, as
amended from time to time (the “Trust Instrument”), bylaws and registration statements under the
1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the Advisers Act, the rules
thereunder and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), applicable to the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, as a regulated investment company;
(b) INTECH shall cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral or written reports, as
the Trust or Janus may reasonably require, in order to keep Janus, the Trustees
and appropriate
officers of the Trust fully informed as to the condition of the investment portfolio of the Fund,
the investment decisions of INTECH, and the investment considerations which have given rise to
those decisions;
(c) INTECH shall maintain all books and records required to be maintained by INTECH pursuant
to the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as the
same may be amended from time to time, with respect to transactions on behalf of the Fund, and
shall furnish the Trustees and Janus with such periodic and special reports as the Trustees or
Janus reasonably may request. INTECH hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the
Fund or the Trust are the property of the Trust, agrees to permit the reasonable inspection thereof
by the Trust or its designees and agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed under the 1940 Act
and the Advisers Act any records which it maintains for the Trust and which are required to be

Trust or its designees any records which it maintains for the Trust upon request by the Trust;

otherwise assist in the calculation of the net asset value of shares of the Fund as may reasonably
be requested;
(e) INTECH shall exercise, and/or provide Janus with such assistance and advice as Janus may
reasonably request as to the manner in which to exercise, on behalf of the Fund, exercise such
voting rights, subscription rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights
pertaining to the Fund’s assets that may be exercised, in accordance with any policy pertaining to
the same that may be adopted or agreed to by the Trustees of the Trust, so that Janus may exercise
such rights, as needed, or, in the event that the Trust retains the right to exercise such voting
and other rights, to furnish the Trust with advice as may reasonably be requested as to the manner
in which such rights should be exercised;
(f) At such times as shall be reasonably requested by the Trustees or Janus, INTECH shall
provide the Trustees and Janus with economic, operational and investment data and reports,
including without limitation all information and materials reasonably requested by or requested to
be delivered to the Trustees of the Trust pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, and shall make
available to the Trustees and Janus any economic, statistical and investment services normally
available to similar investment company clients of INTECH; and
(g) INTECH will provide to Janus for regulatory filings and other appropriate uses materially
accurate and complete information relating to INTECH as may be reasonably requested by Janus from
time to time and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, INTECH shall be liable to Janus
for all damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Damages”),
incurred by Janus as a result of any material inaccuracies or omissions in such information
provided by INTECH to Janus, provided, however, that INTECH shall not be liable to the extent that
