(the "Trust") and an open-end, management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), with respect to
the Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund, a series of the Trust (the "Fund") pursuant

         WHEREAS, INTECH is engaged in the business of rendering investment

         NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

<PAGE>

                  (b) INTECH shall cause its officers to attend meetings and
furnish oral or written reports, as the Trust or Janus may reasonably require,

given rise to those decisions;

                  (c) INTECH shall maintain all books and records required to be

for the Trust upon request by the Trust;

                  (d) INTECH shall submit such reports relating to the valuation

value of shares of the Fund as may reasonably be requested;

                  (e) INTECH shall, 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, or, in the event that the Trust retains the right to

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 any Damages are based upon inaccuracies or omissions made in
reliance upon information furnished to INTECH by Janus.

                                       5
<PAGE>

the assets held with respect to such series only, and not against the assets of

agree that the Trust is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and that the
Trust shall have the full right to sue upon and enforce this Agreement in
accordance with its terms as if it were a signatory hereto. Any oversight,
monitoring or evaluation of the activities of INTECH by Janus, the Trust or the
Fund shall not diminish or relieve in any way the liability of INTECH for any of
its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.
