      THIS INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made this 3rd day

Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), and JANUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("JCM").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, the Trust is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),
and has registered its shares for public offering under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"); and

      WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to create separate funds, each with its
own separate investment portfolio of which the beneficial interests are
represented by a separate series of shares; one of such funds created by the
Trust being designated as the Money Market Portfolio (the "Fund"); and

      WHEREAS, the Trust and JCM deem it mutually advantageous that JCM should
be appointed as the investment adviser to the Fund.

      NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

      1. Investment Advisory Services. JCM shall determine the securities or
other assets to be purchased, sold or held and shall place orders for the
purchase or sale of such securities or other assets. JCM shall furnish
continuous advice and recommendations to the Fund, and have authority to act
with respect thereto, as to the acquisition, holding, or disposition of any or
all of the securities or other assets which the Fund may own or contemplate
acquiring from time to time. JCM shall give due consideration to the investment
policies and restrictions and the other statements concerning the Fund in the
Trust Instrument, bylaws, and registration statements under the 1940 Act and the
1933 Act, and to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from
time to time, applicable to the Fund as a regulated investment company and as a
funding vehicle for variable insurance contracts. In addition, JCM shall cause
its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral or written reports, as the
Trust may reasonably require, in order to keep the Trustees and appropriate
officers of the Trust fully informed as to the condition of the investment
portfolio of the Fund.

      2. Other Services. JCM is hereby authorized (to the extent the Trust has
not otherwise contracted) but not obligated (to the extent it so notifies the
Trustees at least 60 days in

management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund.
JCM is specifically authorized, on behalf of the Trust, to conduct relations
with custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants,
attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurance

other capacity deemed by JCM to be necessary or desirable. JCM shall generally
monitor and report to Fund officers the Fund's compliance with investment
policies and restrictions as set forth in the currently effective prospectus and
statement of additional information relating to the shares of the Fund under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. JCM shall make reports to the 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. JCM is also

JCM shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform the
services contemplated by this Agreement.

            (b)   to furnish JCM with a certified copy of any financial

                                   SCHEDULE A
                             PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT

      Beginning with the Base Fee payable for January 2006 and in month 13 from
the amended date of this Agreement, the Base Fee shall be adjusted monthly based
upon the investment performance of the Fund's Service Shares ("Class") in
relation to the cumulative investment record of the Fund's benchmark, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (the "Index"), over the "Performance Period" (such
adjustment being referred to herein as the "Performance Adjustment"). The
"Performance Period" is defined as the shorter of (a) the period from the date
of this Agreement through the end of the month for which the fee is being
calculated, and (b) the 36 month period preceding the end of the month for which
the fee is being calculated.

      The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the
investment record of the Index from the investment performance of the Class. If
there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the investment
performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index, the Fund pays
JCM the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference between the investment
performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index is 0.50% or
greater during any Performance Period, the Base Fee will be subject to an upward
or downward performance adjustment of 1/12 of 0.01875% for every full 0.50%
increment by which the Class outperforms or underperforms the Index. The maximum
percentage used in calculating the Performance Adjustment (positive or negative)
in any month is 1/12 of 0.15%. The Performance Adjustment is applied against the
Fund's average daily net assets during the Performance Period.

      For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net
assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the
relevant month for the Base Fee versus average daily net assets during the
Performance Period for the Performance Adjustment). The Base Fee is calculated
and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears
and is accrued evenly each day throughout the month. The investment advisory fee
is paid monthly in arrears.

      The average daily net asset value of the Fund, or any class thereof, shall
be determined in the manner set forth in the Trust's Amended and Restated Trust
Instrument, Bylaws and registration statement, each as may be amended from time
to time.

      The investment performance of the Class will be the sum of:

      (1) the change in the Class's net asset value ("NAV") per share during the
Performance Period; plus

      (2) the value of the Class's cash distributions per share accumulated to
the end of the Performance Period; plus

      (3) the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on
undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of the
Performance Period;

expressed as a percentage of the Class's NAV per share at the beginning of the
Performance Period. For this purpose, the value of distributions per share of
realized capital gains, of

dividends per share paid from investment income and of capital gains taxes per
share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains shall be
treated as reinvested in shares of the Class at the NAV in effect at the close
of business on the record date for the payment of such distributions and
dividends and the date on which provision is made for such taxes, after giving
effect to such distributions, dividends and taxes.

      The investment record of the Index will be the sum of:

      (1) the change in the level of the Index during the Performance Period;
plus

      (2) the value, computed consistently with the Index, of cash distributions
made by companies whose securities comprise the Index accumulated to the end of
the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Index level at the
beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the
securities which comprise the Index shall be treated as reinvested in the Index
at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment
of the dividend.

      The Trustees have initially designated the Class to be used for purposes
of determining the Performance Adjustment. From time to time, the Trustees may,
by vote of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority of
the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of any such parties, determine that a class of shares
of the Fund other than the Class is the most appropriate for use in calculating
the Performance Adjustment. If a different class of shares ("Successor Class")
is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that
Successor Class of shares for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment
may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as such Successor Class was
outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Successor Class of shares
was not outstanding for all or a portion of the Performance Period, it may only
be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable
to the period during which such Successor Class was outstanding and any prior
portion of the Performance Period shall be calculated using the class of shares
previously designated.
