furnished the Trust and JHLICO each with a copy of its Disclosure Document, as
amended, dated March 31, 2003, on file with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission; and (vii) that it presently maintains, and shall continue to
maintain as long as this Agreement is in effect, sufficient Directors &
Officers, Errors & Omissions and fidelity bond insurance coverages to provide
coverage to JHLICO, the Trust and the Subject Fund for any claims or losses
arising from, or in connection with, the activities of Sub-Advisor and its
officers and employees with respect to the Subject Fund.
2. PROVISION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
Sub-Advisor will provide for the Subject Fund a continuing and suitable
investment program consistent with the investment objectives, policies,
guidelines and restrictions of said Fund, as established by the Trust and
JHLICO. From time to time, JHLICO or the Trust may provide Sub-Advisor with
additional or amended investment policies, guidelines and restrictions.
Sub-Advisor, as sub-investment manager, will manage the investment and
reinvestment of the assets in the Subject Fund, and perform the functions set
forth below, (i) subject to the overall supervision, direction, control and
review of JHLICO and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, and (ii) consistent
with the applicable investment objectives, policies, guidelines and
restrictions, the provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust, By-laws,
prospectus, statement of additional information (each as in effect from time to
time), the 1940 Act and all other applicable laws and regulations.
-2-
By its signature below, Sub-Advisor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
Trust's Declaration of Trust, By-laws, prospectus, and statement of additional
information, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
Sub-Advisor will, at its own expense:
(a) upon request, furnish the Trust with research, economic and statistical
data in connection with said Fund's investments and investment policies;
(b) submit such reports and information as JHLICO or the Trust's Board of
Directors may reasonably request in order to assist the custodian in it's
determination of the of the market value of securities held in the Subject Fund;
(c) place orders for purchases, exchanges and sales of portfolio
investments for the Subject Fund and, in connection therewith, execute any and
all documents as attorney-in-fact for the Subject Fund as may reasonably be
necessary, desirable, or convenient and consistent with the investment
objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions of said Fund;
(d) give instructions to the Subject Fund's custodian concerning the
delivery of securities and transfer of cash for the Subject Fund;
(e) maintain and preserve the records relating to its activities hereunder
required by the 1940 Act to be maintained and preserved by the Trust, to the
extent not maintained by the custodian, transfer agent or JHLICO;
(f) at or prior to the close of business each day, provide the custodian
and JHLICO's Fund Operations unit with trade information for each transaction
effected for the Subject Fund, and promptly provide to the custodian information
on all brokerage or dealer confirmations;
(g) as soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month,
provide JHLICO with information on all transactions effected for the Subject
Fund during the month, a summary listing all investments held in such Fund as of
the last day of the month, and such other information as JHLICO may reasonably
request in connection with the accounting services that JHLICO provides for the
Subject Fund; and
(h) absent specific instructions to the contrary provided to it by JHLICO
and subject to its receipt of all necessary voting materials, vote all proxies
with respect to investments of the Subject Fund in accordance with Sub-Advisor's
proxy voting policy as most recently provided to JHLICO.
On its own initiative, Sub-Advisor will apprise JHLICO and the Trust of
important political and economic developments materially affecting the
marketplace or the Subject Fund, and will furnish JHLICO and the Trust's Board
of Trustees from time to time such information as is appropriate for this
purpose. An account manager of Sub-Advisor assigned to this relationship shall
be available to meet in Boston, Massachusetts or other reasonable locations as
often as
-3-
quarterly to discuss the Subject Fund and Sub-Advisor's management thereof and
shall make the portfolio manager responsible for management of the Subject Fund
(or in his absence, a member of Sub-Advisor's portfolio management team familiar
with Subject Fund) available to meet on an annual basis in Boston,
Massachusetts. Sub-Advisor will also make qualified personnel available in
Boston or other reasonable locations upon reasonable request to educate JHLICO
sales personnel with respect thereto, and for such other purposes as the Trust
or JHLICO may request.
The Trust and JHLICO will provide timely information to Sub-Advisor
regarding such matters as purchases and redemptions of shares in the Subject
Fund and the cash requirements of, and cash available for investment in, the
Subject Fund. JHLICO will timely provide Sub-Advisor with monthly accounting
statements for the Subject Fund, and such other information (including, without
limitation, reports concerning the classification of Subject Fund securities for
purposes of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations
Section 1.817) as may be reasonably necessary for Sub-Advisor to perform its
responsibilities hereunder.
3. ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES.
Each party to this Agreement shall bear the costs and expenses of
performing its obligations hereunder. In this regard, the Trust specifically
agrees to assume the expense of:
(a) brokerage commissions for transactions in the portfolio investments of
the Trust and similar fees and charges for the acquisition, disposition, lending
or borrowing of such portfolio investments;
(b) custodian fees and expenses;
(c) all taxes, including issuance and transfer taxes, and reserves for
taxes payable by the Trust to federal, state or other governmental agencies; and
(d) interest payable on the Trust's borrowings.
Nothing in this Agreement shall alter the allocation of expenses and costs
agreed upon between the Trust and JHLICO in the Investment Management Agreement
or any other agreement to which they are parties.
-4-
4. SUB-ADVISORY FEES.
For all of the services rendered with respect to the Subject as herein
provided, JHLICO shall pay to Sub-Advisor a fee (for the payment of which the
Trust shall have no obligation or liability), based on the Current Net Assets of
the Subject Fund, as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto and made a part
hereof, and as may be amended from time to time with respect to additional
Subject Funds. Such fee shall be accrued daily and payable monthly, as soon as
practicable after the last day of each calendar month. In the case of
termination of this Agreement with respect to a Subject Fund during any calendar
month, the fee with respect to such Subject Fund accrued to but excluding the
date of termination shall be paid promptly following such termination. For
purposes of computing the amount of advisory fee accrued for any day, "Current
Net Assets" shall mean the Subject Fund's net assets as of the most recent
preceding day for which that Subject Fund's net assets were computed.
From the effective date of said Schedule I, the fees paid by JHLICO shall not
exceed the lowest rate of fees paid by any other investment advisory client of
Sub-Advisor, except where such other client has materially dissimilar investment
style, servicing requirements or investment discretion or has a significantly
higher value of assets being managed by Sub-Advisor or such assets are derived
from a special market for which Sub-Advisor charges lower fees generally or such
assets are managed entirely pursuant to a performance fee schedule.
5. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.
In connection with the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
Subject Fund, Sub-Advisor will place purchase and sell orders for the Subject
Fund with or through such banks, brokers, dealers or other firms dealing in
securities ("Brokers") as it determines, which may include Brokers that are
affiliated persons of Sub-Advisor, provided such orders are exempt from the
provisions of Section 17(a), (d) and (e) of the 1940 Act. Sub-Advisor is
authorized to select the Brokers that will execute purchase and sale
transactions for the Subject Fund and to use its best efforts to obtain the best
available price and most favorable execution in relation to the services
received on behalf of the Subject Fund with respect to all such purchases and
sales of portfolio securities for said Fund. The Sub-Advisor shall maintain
records adequate to demonstrate compliance with this requirement. Subject to
this primary requirement, and maintaining as its first consideration the
benefits to the Subject Fund and its shareholders, Sub-Advisor shall have the
right subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, and to the extent
authorized by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to follow a policy of
selecting Brokers who furnish brokerage and research services to the Subject
Fund or to Sub-Advisor, and who charge a higher commission rate to the Subject
Fund than may result when allocating brokerage solely on the basis of seeking
the prices which are advantageous to the Subject Fund; provided, however, that
any such higher commission rate shall be reasonable and no less advantageous to
the Subject Fund. Sub-Advisor shall determine in good faith that such higher
cost was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided to the Subject Fund and JHLICO. In selecting Brokers,
Sub-Advisor may also consider the reliability, integrity and financial condition
of the Broker, and the size of and difficulty in executing the order.
-5-
Sub-Advisor will not receive any tender offer solicitation fees or similar
payments in connection with the tender of investments of any Fund.
6. OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION, RECORDS, AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
The Trust shall own and control all records maintained hereunder by
Sub-Advisor on the Trust's behalf and, in the event of termination of this
Agreement with respect to any Fund for any reason, all records relating to the
Subject Fund shall be promptly returned to the Trust, free from any claim or
retention of rights by Sub-Advisor, provided that (subject to the last paragraph
of this Section 6) Sub-Advisor may retain copies of such records. Sub-Advisor
also agrees, upon request of the Trust, promptly to surrender such books and
records or, at its expense, copies thereof, to the Trust or to make such books
and records available for audit or inspection at Sub-Advisor's business offices
at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice: (a) by
representatives of regulatory authorities, or other persons reasonably
designated by the Trust. Sub-Advisor further agrees to maintain, prepare and
preserve such books and records in accordance with the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder, including but not limited to Section 31 and Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2,
to the extent such records are not maintained by the custodian, transfer agent
or JHLICO, and to supply all information requested by any securities and
insurance regulatory authorities to determine whether all securities laws and
regulations are being complied with. Sub-Advisor shall supply the Board of
Trustees and officers of the Trust and JHLICO with all statistical information
regarding investments which is reasonably required by them and reasonably
available to Sub-Advisor.
Sub-Advisor shall not disclose or use any records or information obtained
pursuant hereto in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized herein,
and will keep confidential any information obtained pursuant hereto, and
disclose such information only if the Trust has authorized such disclosure, or
if such disclosure is expressly required by applicable federal or state
regulatory authorities.
7. LIABILITY; STANDARD OF CARE.
No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to protect Sub-Advisor or JHLICO
against any liability to the Trust or its shareholders to which it might
otherwise be subject by reason of any willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of its duties or the reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement or the Investment Management
Agreement; or any failure to comply with section 1(e)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or
(vi) of this Agreement. Nor shall any provision hereof be deemed to protect any
trustee or officer of the Trust against any such liability to which he or she
might otherwise be subject by reason of any willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of his or her duties or the reckless
disregard of his or her obligations and duties. Sub-Advisor shall employ only
qualified personnel to manage the Subject Fund; shall comply with all applicable
laws and regulations in the discharge of its duties under this Agreement; shall
(as provided in Section 2 above) comply with the investment objectives,
policies, guidelines and restrictions of the Subject Fund and with the
provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust, By-laws, prospectus and
statement of additional information or any supplements thereto; shall manage the
Subject Fund as a regulated investment company in accordance with subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
-6-
(the "Code"), and Treasury Regulations Section 1.817-5(b); shall act at all
times in the best interests of the Trust; and shall discharge its duties with
the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of a similar enterprise. However, Sub-Advisor shall not
be deemed by virtue of this Agreement to have made any representation or
warranty that any level of investment performance or level of investment results
will be achieved.
8. IN-KIND SECURITIES
The Trust desires to include within the Subject Fund certain "in-kind"
securities (the "In-Kind Securities"). A list of the In-Kind Securities to be
transferred to the Subject Fund shall be provided by the custodian to
Sub-Advisor.
The Trust acknowledges and agrees that some or all of the In-Kind Securities may
have value for the Subject Fund and it may be in the Trust's best interest to
retain them, but in order to comply with the investment objectives or strategies
of the Subject Fund, some or all of such assets may be liquidated at such times
and in such manner as is deemed appropriate by Sub-Advisor and the proceeds be
invested in compliance with the investment objectives of the Subject Fund.
The Trust acknowledges and agrees that Sub-Advisor Manager will use its
reasonable efforts to obtain the best execution. However, there can be no
assurances that Sub-Advisor will or can obtain the best execution. Sub-Advisor
will not be liable to the Trust for the prices obtained in connection with any
sale of the In-Kind Securities and the Trust acknowledges that such prices may
in fact be much lower than the prices at which such In-Kind Securities are
presently carried in the Trust's account. Sub-Advisor shall maintain a log of
all transactions placed through all securities brokerage firms including the
name of the firm, a description of each transaction, the date of each
transaction and the amount or commissions paid.
Sub-Advisor shall invest the proceeds from the sale of the assets, together with
any assets remaining unsold, in accordance with the investment guidelines of the
Subject Fund. In the event any assets contributed in-kind into the Subject Fund
are not compliant with the investment guidelines for the Subject Fund, the Trust
acknowledges and agrees that Sub-Advisor can continue to hold such assets in the
Subject Fund portfolio without regard to the Trust's investment guidelines for
the Subject Fund.
9. DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(a) Duration. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the
Subject Fund on May 1, 2003 and, with respect to any additional Subject Fund, on
the date of receipt by the Trust of notice from Sub-Advisor in accordance with
Paragraph 1(b) hereof that it is willing to serve with respect to such Fund.
Unless terminated as herein provided, this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect for two years from the date hereof with respect to the initial
Subject Fund and, with respect to each additional Subject Fund, until two years
following the date on which such Fund becomes a Subject Fund hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect thereafter with respect to each Subject
Fund only so long as such continuance with respect to any such Fund is
specifically approved at least annually (i) by either the Board of Trustees of
the
-7-
Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of such Fund,
and (ii) in either event by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of
the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
Any approval of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of any Subject Fund shall be effective to continue this
Agreement with respect to any such Fund notwithstanding (A) that this Agreement
has not been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
any other Fund affected hereby, and (B) that this Agreement has not been
approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust,
unless such approval shall be required by any other applicable law or otherwise.
The terms "assignment," "vote of a majority of the outstanding shares" and
"interested person," when used in this Agreement, shall have the respective
meanings specified in the 1940 Act and rules thereunder.
(b) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any
Subject Fund at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the Trust pursuant
to a vote of the Trustees of the Trust or a vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of such Fund, which termination shall be effective
immediately upon delivery of written notice thereof to Sub-Advisor and JHLICO.
This Agreement may be terminated by Sub-Advisor on at least ninety days' prior
written notice to the Trust and JHLICO, and may be terminated by JHLICO on at
least ninety days' prior written notice to the Trust and Sub-Advisor.
(c) Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall automatically and
immediately terminate in the event of its assignment or if the Investment
Management Agreement is terminated.
10. SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE; USE OF SUB-ADVISOR'S NAME AND LOGO.
The services of Sub-Advisor to the Trust are not to be deemed exclusive and
it shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its services
hereunder are not impaired thereby. It is specifically understood that partners,
officers and employees of Sub-Advisor and of its subsidiaries and affiliates may
continue to engage in providing portfolio management services and advice to
other investment companies, whether or not registered, and other investment
advisory clients.
During the term of this Agreement, subject to Sub-Advisor's consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which may be presumed unless an
objection is made to a proposed use as hereinafter provided), JHLICO and the
Trust shall have the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use
Sub-Advisor's name and logo in all materials relating to the Subject Fund,
including all prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, sales
literature and other written materials prepared for distribution to shareholders
of the Trust or the public. However, prior to printing or distributing of any
materials which refer to Sub-Advisor, JHLICO shall consult with Sub-Advisor and
shall furnish to Sub-Advisor a copy of such materials. Sub-Advisor agrees to
cooperate with JHLICO and to review such materials promptly. JHLICO shall not
print or distribute such materials if Sub-Advisor reasonably objects in writing,
within five (5)
-8-
business days of its receipt of such copy (or such other time as may be mutually
agreed), to the manner in which its name and logo are to be used.
Sub-Advisers will not consult with any other sub-manager to the Subject
Fund or to any other Portfolio of the Trust concerning transactions of the
Subject Fund in securities or other assets, except as such consultations may be
reasonably necessary in order to ensure compliance with paragraphs (a) and (b)
of Rule 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act.
11. AVOIDANCE OF INCONSISTENT POSITION.
In connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities of the
Subject Fund, Sub-Advisor and its partners, officers and employees will not act
as principal or agent or receive any commission. Nothing in this Agreement,
however, shall preclude the combination of orders for the sale or purchase of
portfolio securities of the Subject Fund with those for other accounts managed
by Sub-Advisor or its affiliates, if orders are allocated in a manner deemed
equitable by Sub-Advisor among the accounts and at a price approximately
averaged.
12. AMENDMENT.
No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing. No amendment of this
Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Fund until approved
specifically by (a) the Board of Trustees of the Trust, or by vote of a majority
of the outstanding shares of that Fund, and (b) by vote of a majority of those
trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of any party to this
Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall
not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, officers, agents or
employees of the Trust personally, but only bind the trust property of the
Trust, as provided in the Trust's Declaration of Trust.
14. NOTICES
Notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be in writing, shall be deemed to be effectively delivered when actually
received, and may be delivered by US mail (first class, postage prepaid), by
