("JCM").

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 of the Trust; one of such funds
created by the Trust being designated as the Janus Institutional Cash Management
Fund (the "Fund"); and

     WHEREAS, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and JCM have entered into a
separate agreement for the provision of administrative services; 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's Declaration of Trust, bylaws, and registration statements under the 1940
Act and the 1933 Act (as they may be supplemented from time to time and as
authorized by the Trustees), to policies and directives affecting the Fund
adopted by the Trustees and to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended from time to time, applicable to the Fund as a regulated investment
company. 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, subject to review by the
Trustees, to furnish or arrange for such other services as JCM shall from time

          (a)  to keep JCM continuously and fully informed as to the composition
               of its investment portfolio and the nature of all of its assets
               and liabilities from time to time;

          (b)  to furnish JCM with a certified copy of any financial statement
               or report prepared for it by certified or independent public
               accountants and with copies of any financial statements or
               reports made to its shareholders or to any governmental body or
               securities exchange;

          (c)  to furnish JCM with any further materials or information which
               JCM may reasonably request to enable it to perform its functions
               under this Agreement; and

          (d)  to compensate JCM for its services and reimburse JCM for its
               expenses incurred hereunder in accordance with the provisions
               hereof.

which or part of which this Agreement is in effect, at the rate of 1/365 of
0.20% of the aggregate closing net asset value of the shares of the Fund for
each day of such month. For the month during which this Agreement becomes

to the operation of the Fund.

     6. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without
penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, or by the shareholders of the Fund acting
by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in
either case that sixty (60) days advance written notice of termination be given
to JCM at its principal place of business. This Agreement may be terminated by
JCM at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days advance written
notice of termination to the Trust, addressed to its principal place of
business. The Trust agrees that, consistent with the terms of the Trust's
Declaration of Trust, the Trust shall cease to use the name "Janus" in
connection with the Fund as soon as reasonably practicable following any
termination of this Agreement if JCM does not continue to provide investment
advice to the Fund after such termination.

     10. Limitation of Personal Liability. All the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that all liabilities of the Trust arising, directly or indirectly,
under this Agreement, of any and every nature whatsoever, shall be satisfied
solely out of the assets of the Fund and that no Trustee, officer or holder of

responsibilities and limitations on liability of the Trustees, officers and
holders of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.

of judgment or mistake of law, for any loss arising out of any investment, or

contemplated hereunder and directors, officers and employees of JCM and such
affiliates.

to be deemed to be exclusive, and JCM and its affiliates are free to render
services to other parties. It is understood that trustees, officers and
shareholders of the Trust are or may become interested in JCM as directors,
officers and shareholders of JCM, that directors, officers, employees and
shareholders of JCM are or may become similarly interested in the Trust, and
that JCM may become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

voting securities," "assignment" and "interested persons" when used herein,
shall have the respective

                                                                               3
