2003 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 
1. Purpose. 
 
The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company
and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code.

other leave of absence approved by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship
shall be deemed to have terminated on the 91st day of such leave.

-2- 

 
(a) Any
Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 
(b) Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately
after the grant, such Employee would own or be considered to own five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary (for purposes of this Section 3(b), the rules of Section
424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining stock ownership of any Employee, and stock that the Employee may purchase under outstanding options (whether or not such options qualify for the special tax treatment afforded by Section 421(a) of the
Code) shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee) or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company, its Subsidiaries and any parent corporation (as defined in Section 424(e)
of the Code) of the Company accrues at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is
outstanding at any time, in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code. 
 
4. Offering Periods. 
 
The
Plan shall be implemented by consecutive monthly Offering Periods with the first offering period commencing on the Initial Trading Date, or on such other date as the Board shall determine, and continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance
with Section 19 hereof. The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least five (5)
days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter. 
 
5. Participation. 
 
(a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing an enrollment form designated by the Board, on or before the date designated by the Board. 
 
(b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the
first payroll following the first day of the Offering Period and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

 
6. Payroll Deductions. 
 
(a) At the time a participant files his or her enrollment
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period.
Payroll deductions may be permitted on the basis of flat dollar 
 

-3- 

contributions, or a percentage of compensation (in whole percentages only), as determined by the Board. 
 
(b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be
credited to his or her account under the Plan. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account. 
 
(c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the
rate of his or her payroll deductions by completing or filing with the Company a new enrollment form authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the number of participation rate changes during any Offering
Period. The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following the administrative deadline established by the Company. A participant’s enrollment form shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless
terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a participant’s payroll deductions may be refunded to the participant, or decreased to zero percent (0%), at any time.

 
(e) At the time the option is exercised, in
whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Company’s Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any,
which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet
applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee. 
 
7. Grant of Option. 
 
On the first day of each Offering Period, each eligible
Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing
such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Employee’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set
forth in Sections 3(b) and 13 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

 
8. Exercise of Option. 
 
Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in
Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the 
 

-4- 

maximum number of shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated
payroll deductions in his or her account. Shares purchased shall be full or fractional shares as determined by the Board. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or
her. If the Board determines that only full shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan, any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account under the Plan that are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained
in such account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10. Any other monies remaining in a participant’s account under the Plan after the Exercise Date of an Offering Period
shall be returned to the participant, or, in the case of the participant’s death, to the person or persons entitled thereto, in cash. 
 
9. Delivery. 
 
As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each
participant, as appropriate, of the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option. 
 
10. Withdrawal. 
 
(a) A participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Company on the form designated by the Board, on or before the date designated by the Board. If a participant withdraws from the Plan, payroll deductions
shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new enrollment form as provided in Section 5. 
 
(b) A participant’s withdrawal from the Plan shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to
participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws. 
 
(c) In the event a participant withdraws from the Plan prior
to an Exercise Date, any payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such participant. 
 
11. Termination of Employment. 
 
Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Employee for any
reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such
participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto and such participant’s option shall be automatically terminated. 
 

-5- 

 
12. Interest.

 
No interest shall accrue on the payroll
deductions of a participant in the Plan. 
 
13. Stock.

 
(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in
capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be one million (1,000,000) shares. If, on a given Exercise
Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a
manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable. 
 
(b) The participant shall have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised. 
 
(c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant. 
 
14. Administration. 
 
The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee
appointed by the Board. The Board or its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. In
the event that a committee is appointed by the Board, a decision of the committee regarding the Plan shall have the same effect as a decision by the Board. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the
full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. 
 
15. Transferability. 
 
Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way
(other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such
act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof. 
 
16. Use of Funds. 
 

-6- 

 
All payroll
deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 
 
17. Reports. 
 
Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating Employees
at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 
 
18. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale. 
 
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required
action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares each participant may purchase per Offering Period (pursuant to Section 7), as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each
option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock
subject to an option. 
 
(b) Dissolution or
Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (for purposes of this paragraph only, the “New Exercise Date”),
and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation.
The Board shall notify each participant, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option shall
be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the
event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, the Offering Period then in progress 
 

-7- 

shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (for purposes of this paragraph only, the “New Exercise Date”). The New Exercise
Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

 
19. Amendment or Termination. 
 
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and
for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18, no such termination shall affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise Date if the Board
determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 18 and Section 19, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted
which adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner
and to such a degree as required. 
 
(b) Without
stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to add or delete Designated Subsidiaries to be eligible to
participate in the Plan, change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars,
permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment
periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other
limitations or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan. 
 
(c) The Plan may not be amended in any way which would cause options issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Section 423
of the Code. 
 
20. Notices. 
 
All notices or other communications by a participant to the
Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
 

-8- 

 
21. Conditions Upon
Issuance of Shares. 
 
(a) Securities Law
Requirements. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be
listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 
(b) Holding Period after Exercise of Option. Shares issued as a result of the exercise of an option under this Plan will be subject
to a holding period of one (1) year from the date of exercise. During this holding period, the shares may not be sold or transferred by the Employee. The Board, at its sole discretion, may change or eliminate this holding period. 
 
22. Term of Plan. 
 
The Plan shall become effective on the Initial Trading Date,
subject to approval by the stockholder of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 19 hereof. 
 
23. Governing Law. 
 
This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 
24. No Enlargement of Employee Rights. 
 
Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of
the Company or any Designated Subsidiary, or to interfere with the right of the Company or Designated Subsidiary to discharge any Employee at any time. 
 
25. Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions. 
 
The Board may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements
of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll
tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. 
 

-9- 

 
The Board may
also adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Designated Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code section 423. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with
the exception of Section 13, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.

          This INVESTMENT ADVISOR AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is effective as of
April 1, 2003 by and between STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, a trust
company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("State

          WHEREAS the American Bar Association Members Retirement Trust and the
American Bar Association Members Pooled Trust for Retirement Plans (collectively
referred to as the "Trusts"), for which State Street acts as trustee, are
maintained pursuant to agreements between the American Bar Retirement
Association ("ABRA") and State Street for the purpose of funding the American
Bar Association Members Retirement Plan, the American Bar Association Members
Defined Benefit Pension Plan (together, the "ABA Members Plans") and other
employee benefit plans, as adopted by eligible individuals, organizations,
partnerships, corporations or associations (each such employee benefit plan
being referred to as a "Plan" and collectively as the "Plans"), which Plans must
meet the requirements for qualification under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect from time to time (the "Code");

          WHEREAS, certain assets of the Trusts are deposited in a collective
investment fund, known as the INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND (the "Fund"),

Trust (the "ABA Members Collective Trust") established by State Street, as

          WHEREAS, the Fund is established under a group trust maintained by the
Trustee and is exempt from tax pursuant to Revenue Ruling 81-100;

          WHEREAS, the Trustee desires to retain the Advisor to act as its

the Trustee may designate from time to time in writing to the Advisor (the
"Subaccount") by making recommendations to the Trustee with respect to the
investment and reinvestment of the assets in the Subaccount; and

          WHEREAS the parties desire to set forth, among other things, the
duties, terms and conditions under which the Advisor will carry out such
advisory functions and the Trustee will perform certain of its functions with
respect to managing and administering the Subaccount and the Fund;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement, it is agreed as follows:

such assets of the Fund as are held in the Subaccount from time to time. The
Advisor shall provide investment advice and recommendations and shall render
certain other related services to or on behalf of the Trustee, all in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          2.   Acceptance by the Advisor. The Advisor hereby accepts such

in the Subaccount, it is a fiduciary, as defined in the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and in effect from time to time
("ERISA"), with respect to the Trusts and the Plans and (b) no person associated
with the Advisor is a trustee or administrator of, or an employer of anyone
covered by, any Plan. The Advisor represents that it is registered, or exempt
from registration, under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Advisers Act"), and that it is in the business of acting as a fiduciary with
respect to assets of various retirement plans and trusts. The Advisor agrees and

notice of the commencement of any proceeding by any governmental agency to take
any action which would change its status under the Advisers Act, (x) notice by
any governmental agency of the intent to place material limitations on the
activities of the Advisor, (y) notice by any governmental agency that it intends
to begin an investigation of the Advisor that is outside of the scope of routine
investigations that such agency conducts from time to time of businesses engaged
in the same or similar activities as the Advisor, or (z) notice by any
governmental agency that it has identified an area of non-compliance or other
concern in the course of any investigation of the Advisor. Throughout this
Agreement, the term "business day" shall mean any day in which the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trustee's principal office
is open for business.

          3.   Definition of Subaccount. The Subaccount for which the Advisor
has been appointed to render investment advice and certain other services is
designated as Subaccount B and consists of the assets set forth in Appendix A.
The Trustee may change the composition of or the amount of assets included
within the Subaccount, by amending Appendix A, after written notice to the
Advisor and ABRA.

          4.   The Advisor's Services.

Trustee purchase, sell or otherwise invest the assets of the Subaccount on the
terms and conditions recommended by the Advisor in a manner consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement. The manner and procedures for effecting any such
purchases, sales or investments are set forth in Subsection 4(c) below. From

                                                                               3

               (b)  Compliance With Policies and Other Requirements. In
providing its investment advice and other related services, the Advisor shall
act in accordance with the investment objectives and policies for the Fund as
set forth in the Fund Declaration pursuant to which the Fund is established and
maintained, as the same may be amended from time to time by the Trustee (the
"Fund Declaration"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix B, and in
accordance with any additional investment objectives and policies that have been
established by the Trustee for the Subaccount as set forth in Appendix C, as the
same may be amended from time to time by the Trustee, or that have been set
forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities
Exchange Commission relating to the Fund, as the same may be amended from time
to time. In providing its investment advice and other related services under
this Agreement, the Advisor shall comply with all of the Trustee's reasonable
operating requirements as the same may be communicated in writing by the Trustee
to the Advisor from time to time. The Advisor shall comply with any changes to
such operating requirements that the Trustee may make from time to time within a
period of time reasonably specified by the Trustee (or if none is specified,
within a reasonable time period) after notice of such changes is communicated in
writing by the Trustee to the Advisor.

               (c)  Recommendation Procedures. The Advisor shall place orders or
otherwise give instructions with respect to the investment of the assets in the
Subaccount only after prior notification to and approval by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4(c). Except in accordance
with the following provisions, the Advisor shall have no authority to place
orders for the execution of transactions involving assets of the Subaccount or
to give instructions to the Trustee with respect thereto:

                    (i)  Broker List. On or prior to the first business day of
     each month, the Trustee shall consider brokers recommended by the Advisor
     and shall approve, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Trustee, a list
     of not more than one hundred (100) brokers through whom transactions with
     respect to the assets in the Subaccount may be effected during the
     following month (the "Broker List"). From time to time by means of Valid
     Notice (as defined below), the Advisor may request an amendment (the
     "Advisor's Amendment") to the Broker List. The Trustee shall exercise
     reasonable efforts to notify the Advisor whether or not the Trustee
     authorizes the Advisor's Amendment to the Broker List by means of Valid
     Notice within one (1) complete business day (i.e., not later than the same
     time of day on the next business day) following its receipt of the
     Advisor's ---- Amendment and if the Trustee does not so notify the Advisor,
     then the Advisor's Amendment shall be deemed to be approved at the
     conclusion of such one business day period. The Trustee may effect an
     amendment to the Broker List at any time upon Valid Notice to the Advisor.

                    (ii) Real-Time Recommendations. From time to time by means
     of Valid Notice (as defined below), the Advisor may make recommendations as
     to proposed transactions with respect to the assets of the Subaccount (the
     "Advisor's Recommendation"). The Advisor's Recommendation

<PAGE>

                                                                               4

     shall (A) be directed to the employee or employees of the Trustee
     designated for such purpose by the Trustee from time to time by Valid
     Notice and (B) describe the transaction being recommended by the Advisor in
     such detail and specificity as the Trustee may reasonably require. For this
     purpose, if the transaction is to be effected at the market price on the
     applicable exchange or trading system, a statement to such effect shall be
     sufficient to describe the proposed sale or purchase price. The Trustee
     shall exercise reasonable efforts to notify the Advisor by means of Valid
     Notice whether or not the Trustee authorizes the transaction recommended in
     the Advisor's Recommendation (the "Trustee's Response"). The Trustee shall
     exercise reasonable efforts to deliver the Trustee's Response within one
     (1) hour following its receipt of the Advisor's Recommendation and if the
     Trustee does not deliver the Trustee's Response to the Advisor within such
     one-hour period, then the transaction or transactions recommended in the
     Advisor's Recommendation shall be deemed to be approved; provided, however,
     that if the Advisor's Recommendation is received by the Trustee after 6:00
     p.m. Eastern time on any business day, then the one-hour period described
     in this Subsection 4(c)(ii) shall be extended so that it expires at 9:00
     a.m. Eastern time on the next succeeding business day.

                    (iii) Authorized Transactions. A transaction shall become an
     "Authorized Transaction" when it is (A) approved pursuant to the Trustee's
     Response or (B) deemed approved pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii).
     [Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Trustee has otherwise notified
     the Advisor by Valid Notice, a transaction shall also be an "Authorized
     Transaction" if it is a transaction to be effected at the market price on
     the applicable exchange or trading system with respect to an additional
     acquisition or a disposition of a particular security held in the
     Subaccount, provided that, individually and in the aggregate, acquisitions
     and dispositions related to the same security during the same business day
     will not increase or decrease by more than twenty-five percent (25%) (Y)
     the number and value of shares of such security (if such security is an
     equity security) or (Z) the principal amount of such security (if such
     security is a debt security), immediately upon giving effect to all such
     transactions offered during such business day, provided further that at all
     times the Subaccount shall comply fully with (i) the provisions of the Fund
     Declaration, as the same may be amended from time to time by the Trustee,
     (ii) any additional objectives and policies set forth in Exhibit C, as the
     same may be amended from time to time, and (iii) and any objectives and
     policies set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the
     Securities Exchange Commission relating the Fund, as the same may be
     amended from time to time.] The designation of a transaction as an
     Authorized Transaction hereunder shall be binding against the Trustee and
     the Authorized Transaction shall remain validly approved and authorized
     until the earlier of (AA) the time that it is expressly countermanded by
     Valid Notice from

<PAGE>

                                                                               5

     the Trustee to the Advisor or (BB) at the end of the twentieth (20th)
     business day following its designation as an Authorized Transaction.

                    (iv) Investment Authority. With respect to any Authorized
     Transaction, the Advisor may take any and all action necessary or desirable
     to effect such Authorized Transaction, including but not limited to (A)
     placing an order with a broker named in the Broker List for the execution
     of the Authorized Transaction and (B) issuing to the Trustee such
     instructions as may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of
     such Authorized Transaction.

                    (v)  Valid Notice. "Valid Notice" shall mean (A) written
     notice or communication, which may be made by facsimile or by electronic
     transmission in a format and method reasonably acceptable to the Trustee,
     or (B) oral notice or communication that is recorded by the Trustee or the
     Advisor and is available for subsequent verification.

               (d) Custody of Assets and Confirmation of Transactions. To the
extent required by applicable law, the Advisor shall direct that all securities
purchased and the proceeds from the sale of securities for the Subaccount be
delivered to the Trustee, unless otherwise directed by the Trustee. The Advisor
shall direct any broker effecting a transaction with respect to the assets of
the Subaccount to send the Trustee a duplicate copy of any confirmation of any
such transaction, except that the Advisor may make other arrangements (which are
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) for the Trustee to receive such
duplicate confirmations or comparable information acceptable to the Trustee.

               (e) Communications Regarding Investment Securities. The Trustee
shall send, or cause to be sent, on a timely basis, copies of all communications
(including but not limited to proxy statements, tender offers and class action
communications) from or relating to companies, the securities or other
instruments of which are held in the Subaccount, to the Advisor. The Advisor
shall be responsible for making a recommendation to the Trustee, in such detail
and specificity as the Trustee may reasonably require, as to the appropriate
response to such communications (the "Suggested Response"). Such Suggested
Response shall be made by the Advisor by Valid Notice, at least one (1) complete
business day (i.e., not later than the same time of day on the prior business
day) prior to the deadline for such response. Such Suggested Response shall be
directed to the employee or employees of the Trustee designated for such purpose
by the Trustee from time to time by Valid Notice. If the Trustee decides not to
follow the Suggested Response, it shall so notify the Advisor by Valid Notice
(the "Trustee's Rejection") not later than the earlier of one (1) complete
business day (i.e., not later than the same time of day or the next business
day) following its receipt of the Suggested Response or two (2) hours before the
response deadline. Failure by the Trustee to give the Trustee's Rejection to the
Advisor within such period shall constitute the Trustee's approval of the
Suggested Response, and shall constitute authorization to the Advisor to (i)
take such action as is appropriate to effect the Suggested Response and

<PAGE>

                                                                            6

(ii) issue to the Trustee such instructions as may be appropriate in connection
with effecting the Suggested Response.

               (f) Advisor's Duty of Care. The Advisor shall discharge its
duties with respect to the Subaccount solely in the interests of the
participants in the Plans and their beneficiaries with the care, skill, prudence
and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person
acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct
of an enterprise of like character and with like aims. The Advisor shall not be
responsible for the operation or administration of the Trusts or the Plans. The
Advisor shall have no investment advisory responsibilities other than those
expressly provided in this Agreement. The Advisor shall discharge its duties in
accordance with the requirements of ERISA, other applicable law and this
Agreement.

               (g) Fidelity Bond and Insurance. The Advisor shall maintain for
the period during which the Agreement is in effect a fidelity bond meeting the
requirements of Section 412 of ERISA (unless the Trustee acknowledges that the
Advisor is exempt from such requirements) and including its officers, directors
and employees (or comparable individuals) to the extent so required. The Advisor
will provide to ABRA and the Trustee within twenty (20) business days of the
effective date of this Agreement copies of all insurance policies (including
fiduciary, errors and omissions, and fidelity bonds) that could cover or relate
to the Subaccount, the Fund, the Trusts or the Plans, and, upon request by the
Trustee or ABRA, a certificate of coverage with respect to any such policies.
The Advisor will notify ABRA and the Trustee of any material changes in such
policies, which change affects the coverage of the Advisor, within twenty (20)
business days after the earlier of when such changes are made or are effective.

               (h) Brokerage Practices. In placing orders for the purchase and
sale of assets of the Subaccount in accordance with Subsection 4(c), the Advisor
shall act in accordance with the procedures with regard to brokerage practices
for the Subaccount, as described in Appendix D. The Advisor shall make its
recommendations of brokers or dealers in accordance with its best judgment and
in a manner consistent with ERISA and other applicable law. The Advisor shall
recommend those brokers or dealers for inclusion on the Broker List using its
best judgment to choose the broker or dealer most capable of providing the
brokerage services necessary to obtain the "best available price and most
favorable execution." The Trustee recognizes that the Advisor may, in accordance
with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, recommend
a broker or dealer who will charge a commission for effecting a securities
transaction that will exceed the amount of commission another broker or dealer
would have charged for effecting such transaction, where the Advisor has
determined in good faith that the amount of such commission was reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer to, or for the benefit of, the Subaccount, viewed in terms of
either that particular transaction or such broker or dealer's overall
responsibilities with respect to the Subaccount.

               (i) Nondisclosure of Information. To the extent necessary for
the execution of this Agreement or to satisfy the requirements for disclosure to
participants or to meet the requirements of Sections 8 and 9, the Advisor shall
keep in

<PAGE>
                                                                               7

strict confidence all information about the financial affairs of the Subaccount.
The Advisor may include information about the Subaccount in aggregate
information provided by the Advisor as long as the information is not set out
separately or in any other manner that would enable a third party to determine
the financial affairs of the Subaccount.

               (j) Advisor's Potential Conflicts of Interest. The Advisor (and
any affiliate thereof) may engage in any other business or act as advisor to or
investment manager for any other person, even though it (or any affiliate
thereof) or such other person has, or may have, investment policies similar to
those followed by the Advisor with regard to the Subaccount. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent the Advisor (or any affiliate thereof) from buying or
selling, or from recommending or directing such other person to buy or sell, at
any time, securities of the same kind or class recommended by the Advisor to be
purchased or sold for the Subaccount. The Advisor shall be free from any
obligation to the Subaccount to recommend any particular investment opportunity
which comes to it. However, if the Advisor effects the purchase or sale of the
same securities for the Subaccount and other accounts at the same time that
orders are open for the Subaccount and the other accounts, the pricing of or
proceeds from such securities shall be allocated among the other accounts and
the Subaccount in a just and equitable manner.

               (k) Valuation. At the request of the Trustee from time to time,
the Advisor shall provide pricing and valuation information with respect to
particular securities it has recommended for the Subaccount if the Trustee has
determined that such pricing and valuation information is not otherwise
reasonably available to the Trustee through standard pricing services.

          5. Representations by the Trustee. The Trustee represents and warrants
that (a) there are no restrictions or limitations on the Subaccount's
investments imposed by applicable law other than (i) those set forth in the
Declaration of Trust, the Fund Declaration, this Agreement, and Appendix C, as
any of the same may be amended from time to time and communicated to the
Advisor, (ii) those provided in ERISA and (iii) any other investment restriction
or limitation imposed by law or regulation which in the Trustee's judgment is
applicable to the Subaccount and which is communicated by the Trustee to the
Advisor; and (b) disclosure to Plan participants contained in the Registration
Statement describing the Subaccount is accurate and prepared in accordance with
the requirements of Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
except that the Trustee makes no representation or warranty with respect to any
disclosure relating to the Advisor or its services with respect to the
Subaccount which the Advisor has prepared, approved in writing or has not
disapproved within five (5) business days following confirmed transmission by
facsimile, acceptable electronic transmission or overnight mail to a person
designated by the Advisor to review such disclosure.

          6. Liability of the Advisor; Indemnification.
             -----------------------------------------

               (a) Limitation of Liability of the Advisor. The Advisor shall not
be liable for any act or omission of any other person or entity exercising a
fiduciary

<PAGE>
                                                                               8

responsibility, if such fiduciary responsibility has been allocated to such
other person or entity in accordance with this Agreement, the Declaration of
Trust, the Fund Declaration, the Plans or the Trusts, except to the extent that
the Advisor has itself violated its fiduciary responsibility or its obligations
under this Agreement, or except to the extent that applicable law (including
ERISA) may expressly provide otherwise.

               (b) Indemnification.
                   ---------------

                    (i) Indemnification of Advisor. To the extent permitted by
     applicable law, the Trustee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
     Advisor for losses, damages or expenses resulting from (A) actions taken by
     the Advisor in reliance on information provided by the Trustee to the
     Advisor in accordance with this Agreement, including but not limited to the
     Trustee's operating requirements and cash availability information, (B)
     actions omitted to be taken by the Advisor pursuant to instructions or
     directions provided by the Trustee and/or (C) valuation of the assets held
     in the Subaccount, computation of unit values for the Subaccount by the
     Trustee, or performance data and other financial information provided by
     the Trustee to Subaccount participants except to the extent that the
     Advisor has incorrectly reported or failed to report securities
     transactions in the Subaccount to the Trustee as provided in this Agreement
     and to the extent that any error in such valuation or computation is due to
     prices or other information provided by the Advisor.

                    (ii) Indemnification of the Trustee. To the extent permitted
     by applicable law, the Advisor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
     Trustee for any losses, damages or expenses resulting from (A) any
     recommendation of the Advisor or based on information provided by the
     Advisor, (B) the Advisor's failure to provide correct and timely
     information or to make recommendations on a timely basis as provided in the
     Agreement, and (C) any disclosure relating to the Advisor or the services
     provided by the Advisor with respect to the Subaccount which the Advisor
     has prepared, approved in writing or has not disapproved within five (5)
     business days following transmission by facsimile, acceptable electronic
     transmission or overnight mail to a person designated by the Advisor to
     review such disclosure; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be
     required to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee to the extent that such
     losses, damages or expenses result from an act or omission of the Advisor
     with respect to which the Advisor not only has used such care, skill,
     prudence and diligence as a reasonably prudent person acting in like
     capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an
     enterprise of like character and with like aims, but also has otherwise
     acted in accordance with this Agreement.

                    (iii) Advisor and Trustee Indemnification Procedures. If the
     party seeking indemnification is either the Advisor or the Trustee, such
     party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim, action,
     suit or proceeding, or threat thereof, which may result in a claim for
     indemnification. Upon such notification, the indemnifying party may, at its
     option, undertake the

<PAGE>
                                                                               9

     conduct and cost of defending any such claim, action, suit or proceeding
     and in such case shall have full control of such defense, including but not
     limited to selection of counsel (provided that such counsel must be
     reasonably acceptable to the party being indemnified) and entry into
     settlement agreements (provided that any such settlement agreement shall
     require the consent of the party being indemnified, which consent shall not
     be unreasonably delayed or withheld). The Trustee or the Advisor, as the
     indemnifying party, shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses
     incurred in connection with any such defense that were not specifically
     authorized by it; provided, however, if such indemnifying party fails to
     undertake and prosecute vigorously the defense of any such claim, action,
     suit or proceeding, it shall be liable for reasonable legal and other
     expenses incurred by the party being indemnified.

               (c) Indemnification of ABRA.
                   -----------------------

                    (i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Advisor
     agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ABRA, its then present and
     former officers, directors and advisory directors, the ABA, and its then
     present and former officers and Board of Governors (the "Indemnified
     Persons") against any and all expenses (including attorney's fees,
     judgments, fines and penalties, including any civil penalties assessed
     under Section 502(l) of ERISA) and amounts paid in settlement actually or
     reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or current
     action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative
     or otherwise, and the amount of any adverse judgment entered against any of
     them and any reasonable expenses attendant thereto by reason of any of the
     Advisor's acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement. For the
     above defense, indemnity and hold harmless provision to apply (i) the
     Indemnified Persons (or ABRA) shall inform the Advisor promptly of any
     claims threatened or made against any Indemnified Person, (ii) the
     Indemnified Persons shall cooperate fully with the Advisor in responding to
     such threatened or actual claims and (iii) any settlement agreement entered
     into by the Indemnified Persons shall require the written approval of the
     Advisor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and
     any settlement agreement entered into by the Advisor shall require written
     approval, within the time frame established by the Advisor, of the
     Indemnified Persons, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                    (ii) Right to Counsel. The Indemnified Persons shall have
     the right to employ counsel in their, its, his or her sole discretion. Such
     Indemnified Persons shall be responsible for the expenses of such separate
     counsel except as provided in Subsection 6(c)(iii). The Advisor agrees to
     cooperate fully with the Indemnified Persons and their separate counsel in
     responding to such threatened or actual claims.

                    (iii) Separate Counsel. The Advisor agrees to cooperate
     fully with the Indemnified Persons in responding to such threatened or
     actual claims. The Indemnified Persons shall have the right to reasonable
     expenses of

<PAGE>
                                                                              10

     separate counsel paid by the Advisor, provided that the Advisor shall not
     be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with any
     such threatened claim or defense that were not specially authorized by the
     Advisor in writing, and provided that the Advisor shall have received a
     written opinion reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Advisor
     of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Advisor (and which counsel shall
     not represent or otherwise be affiliated with any of the Indemnified
     Persons) that there exists a material conflict of interest between one or
     more of the Indemnified Persons and the Advisor in the conduct of the
     response to a threatened claim or in the conduct of the defense of an
     actual claim, in which event the Advisor shall be liable for the reasonable
     legal expenses of each counsel whose appointment is necessary to resolve
     such conflict; provided, however, the Advisor shall not be responsible for
     more than one (1) counsel for all Indemnified Persons and selection of such
     counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Advisor.

                    (iv) Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including counsel fees)
     specifically authorized by the Advisor and actually and reasonably incurred
     by the Indemnified Persons in defending against or responding to such
     threatened or actual claims as provided in (i) and (iii) of this Subsection
     shall be paid as they are incurred. If an Indemnified Person is reasonably
     required to bring any action to enforce rights or collect monies due under
     Subsection 6(c) and is successful in such action, the Advisor shall
     reimburse such Indemnified Person or its subrogee for reasonable fees and
     expenses incurred in bringing and pursuing such action.

                    (v) Supplemental Rights. Indemnification pursuant to
     Subsection 6(c) is intended to be supplemental to any other rights to
     indemnification available to the Indemnified Persons. Nothing herein shall
     be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the Indemnified Persons' rights
     to indemnification under law.

                    (vi) Third Party Beneficiaries. The indemnifying party
     acknowledges that the Indemnified Persons are intended to be third-party
     beneficiaries of Subsection 6(c).

          7. Transactions Prohibited with Respect to the Advisor. The Advisor,
its officers, partners, directors and affiliates, and each of them, shall not,
with respect to the Subaccount, (a) as a principal, purchase assets from or sell
assets to the Fund, (b) receive any compensation or fees with respect to the
Fund, other than the fees provided for in Appendix E, (c) engage in or recommend
any transaction involving or affecting the Fund that such person knows or should
know is a prohibited transaction under ERISA unless such transaction is exempt
under the applicable provisions of ERISA or (d) direct delivery of securities or
payment to itself or direct any disposition of securities or cash from the
Subaccount except to the Trusts.

                                                                              11

          8. Reports and Meetings.
             --------------------

               (a) Monthly Reports. At least monthly the Advisor shall render to
the Trustee and ABRA, or their designee, reports concerning its services under
this Agreement and the status of the Subaccount, based on the reporting
procedures set forth in Appendix F, which is hereby adopted and made a part of
this Agreement, including statements of investments in the Subaccount.

               (b) Meetings. The Advisor will meet with the Trustee and ABRA and
with such other persons as the Trustee or ABRA may designate on reasonable
notice and at reasonable times and locations, to discuss general economic
conditions, Subaccount performance, investment strategy and other matters
relating to the Subaccount.

               (c) Reports Prior to Termination. On each day during the period
beginning ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the Advisor's
resignation or its removal under this Agreement by the Trustee (the "Termination
Date"), or on each day of such shorter period after which the Advisor has
received notice of its removal, the Advisor shall render to the Trustee and
ABRA, or their designee, a report of the current status of the Subaccount based
on the procedures set forth in Appendix F, including a statement of investments
in the Subaccount and on the day immediately following the Termination Date,
such report shall be rendered in final form with respect to the status of the
Subaccount, including a statement of investments therein, as of the close of
business on the Termination Date.

               (d) Additional Reports. The Advisor shall furnish to the Trustee
and ABRA such additional reports and information as may be reasonably requested
by the Trustee or ABRA.

          9. Accounting. The Advisor shall keep accurate and detailed records
concerning its services under this Agreement, including records of all
transactions effected and recommendations made during its performance of this
Agreement, and all such records shall be open to inspection at all reasonable
times by the Trustee and ABRA, or their designee, and by duly authorized
representatives of the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of the Treasury
acting pursuant to their authority under ERISA and the Code, respectively, and
other appropriate regulatory authorities.

          10. Advisor's Compensation. The amount and manner of payment of fees
payable by the Trustee to the Advisor for the Advisor's services under this
Agreement are set forth in Appendix E. The Advisor agrees that if it enters into
a fee schedule with any new non-eleemosynary client whose portfolio is advised
or managed under the same investment policies and objectives as the Subaccount,
and is similarly or smaller sized, for services which are similar to the
services provided under this Agreement and such fee schedule contains fees that
are lower than the fees set forth in Appendix E, it will offer the same fee
schedule to the Trustee, which shall have the right to require an amendment to
Appendix E to reflect that lower fee schedule.

          11. Removal and Resignation.

               (a) Removal of the Advisor. Upon written notice to the Advisor,
the Advisor may be removed by the Trustee. Any transaction for the Subaccount
authorized by the Trustee prior to the receipt by the Advisor of the notice
shall be consummated, and the Advisor shall not recommend any transaction for
the Subaccount subsequent to the receipt of the notice.

               (b) Resignation of the Advisor. The Advisor may resign under this
Agreement upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Trustee. The Advisor
shall concurrently advise ABRA in writing of such resignation and the effective
date thereof.

               (c) Termination of Obligations. The respective obligations of the
Advisor and the Trustee under Section 6 of the Agreement shall survive any such
removal or resignation or other termination of this Agreement.

Agreement may not be terminated, changed, modified, altered or amended in any
respect except in a writing signed by the parties.
