(e) VALIC desires to enter into an Investment
Sub-Advisory Agreement with the SUB-ADVISER for the
assets of the Covered Funds.
VALIC and the SUB-ADVISER agree as follows:
1. SERVICES RENDERED AND EXPENSES PAID BY THE SUB-ADVISER
The SUB-ADVISER, subject to the control, direction, and supervision of
VALIC and NAF Variable's Board of Directors and in material conformity
with the 1940 Act, all applicable laws and regulations thereunder, all
other applicable federal and state securities and tax laws and
regulations, including section 817(h) and Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), NAF Variable's Articles,
Bylaws, registration statements, prospectus and stated investment
objectives, policies and restrictions and any applicable procedures
adopted by NAF Variable's Board of Directors and provided to the
SUB-ADVISER in writing shall:
(a) manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
Covered Funds, including, for example, the evaluation of
pertinent economic, statistical, financial, and other data,
the determination of the industries and companies to be
represented in each Covered Fund's portfolio, and the
formulation and implementation of investment programs;
(b) maintain a trading desk and place orders for the purchase and
sale of portfolio investments (including futures contracts and
options thereon) for each Covered Fund's account with brokers
or dealers (including futures commission merchants) selected
by the SUB-ADVISER, or arrange for any other entity to provide
a trading desk and to place orders with brokers and dealers
(including futures commission merchants) selected by the
SUB-ADVISER, subject to the SUB-ADVISER's control, direction,
and supervision, which brokers or dealers may include brokers
or dealers (including futures commission merchants) affiliated
with the SUB-ADVISER, subject to applicable law.
The SUB-ADVISER will assist the Covered Funds and their agents in
determining whether prices obtained for valuation purposes accurately
reflect the prices on the SUB-ADVISER's portfolio records relating to
the assets of the Covered Funds for which the SUB-ADVISER has
responsibility on a quarterly basis (unless otherwise agreed upon by
the parties hereto) and at such other times as VALIC shall reasonably
request.
In performing the services described in paragraph (b) above, the
SUB-ADVISER shall use its best efforts to obtain for the Covered Funds
the best execution of portfolio transactions. The SUB-ADVISER is
responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Covered
Funds, broker-dealer selection, and negotiation of brokerage commission
rates. Subject to approval by NAF Variable's Board of Directors of
appropriate policies and procedures, the SUB-ADVISER may cause the
Covered Funds to pay to a broker a commission, for effecting a
portfolio transaction, in excess of the commission another broker would
have charged for effecting the same transaction, if the first broker
provided brokerage and/or research services to the SUB-ADVISER. The
SUB-ADVISER shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have
breached any duty created by this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by
reason of acting in accordance with such authorization. Notwithstanding
the above, nothing shall require the SUB-ADVISER to use a broker that
provides research services or to use a particular broker recommended by
VALIC.
The SUB-ADVISER may aggregate, or, if appropriate, cross sales and
purchase orders of securities held by the Covered Funds with similar
orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the
SUB-ADVISER or with accounts of the affiliates of the SUB-ADVISER, if
in the SUB-ADVISER's reasonable judgment such aggregation shall result
in an overall economic benefit to the Covered Funds considering the
advantageous selling or purchase price, brokerage commission and other
expenses. In accounting for such aggregated order price, commission and
other expenses shall be averaged on a per bond or share basis daily. If
any trades are crossed, SUB-ADVISER may charge the Covered Funds for
reasonable expenses incurred in such cross-trades, excluding brokerage
commissions, fees (other than customary transfer fees), or other
remuneration paid in connection with the transaction. A transaction fee
charged by a brokerage or a custodial bank will be considered a
customary transfer fee for purposes of this Agreement. VALIC
acknowledges that
2
3
the determination of such economic benefit to the Covered Funds by the
SUB-ADVISER is subjective and represents the SUB-ADVISER's evaluation
that the Covered Funds are benefited by relatively better purchase or
sales prices, lower commission expenses and beneficial timing of
transactions or a combination of these and other factors.
VALIC authorizes and empowers the SUB-ADVISER to direct the Covered
Funds' Custodian to open and maintain brokerage accounts for securities
and other property, including financial and commodity futures and
commodities and options thereon (all such accounts hereinafter called
"brokerage accounts") for and in the name of the Covered Funds and to
execute for each Covered Fund as its agent and attorney-in-fact
standard customer agreements with such broker or brokers as the
SUB-ADVISER shall select as provided above. With respect to brokerage
accounts for financial and commodity futures and commodities and
options thereon, the SUB-ADVISER shall select such brokers, as approved
by VALIC, prior to the establishment of such brokerage account. The
SUB-ADVISER may, using such of the securities and other property in the
Covered Funds as the SUB-ADVISER deems necessary or desirable, direct
the Covered Funds' Custodian to deposit for the Covered Funds original
and maintenance brokerage and margin deposits and otherwise direct
payments of cash, cash equivalents and securities and other property
into such brokerage accounts and to such brokers as the SUB-ADVISER
deems desirable or appropriate.
The SUB-ADVISER shall maintain records adequately demonstrating
compliance with its obligations under this Agreement and report
quarterly to VALIC and NAF Variable's Board of Directors regarding the
performance of its services under this Agreement. The SUB-ADVISER will
make available to VALIC and NAF Variable promptly upon their reasonable
written request all of the Covered Funds' investment records and
ledgers to assist VALIC and NAF Variable in compliance with respect to
each Covered Fund's securities transactions as required by the 1940 Act
and the Advisers Act, as well as other applicable laws. The SUB-ADVISER
will furnish NAF Variable's Board of Directors such quarterly and
special reports as VALIC and NAF Variable's Board of Directors may
reasonably request, in a format to be agreed upon by VALIC and the
SUB-ADVISER. The SUB-ADVISER will furnish to regulatory authorities any
information or reports in connection with such services which may be
requested by such regulatory authorities in order to ascertain whether
the operations of the Covered Funds are being conducted in a manner
consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
The SUB-ADVISER will not disclose or use any records or information
obtained pursuant to this Agreement in any manner whatsoever except as
expressly authorized in this Agreement, and will keep confidential any
non-public information obtained directly as a result of this service
relationship, and the SUB-ADVISER shall disclose such non-public
information only if VALIC or the Board of Directors of NAF Variable has
authorized such disclosure, or if such information is or hereafter
otherwise is known by the SUB-ADVISER or has been disclosed, directly
or indirectly, by VALIC or the Fund to others becomes ascertainable
from public or published information or trade sources, or if such
disclosure is expressly required or requested by applicable federal or
state regulatory authorities, or to the extent such disclosure is
reasonably required by auditors or attorneys of the SUB-ADVISER in
connection with the performance of their professional services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SUB-ADVISER may disclose the total
return earned by the Covered Funds and may include such total return in
the calculation of composite performance information without prior
approval by VALIC or the Board of Directors of NAF Variable.
Should VALIC at any time make any definite determination as to a change
in any investment policy and notify the SUB-ADVISER in writing of such
determination, the SUB-ADVISER shall be bound by such determination for
the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly
notified that such determination has been revoked, provided such
determination will permit SUB-ADVISER to comply with the first
paragraph of this Section.
The SUB-ADVISER will not hold money or investments on behalf of NAF
Variable. The money and investments will be held by the Custodian of
NAF Variable. The SUB-ADVISER will arrange for the transmission to the
Custodian for NAF Variable, on a daily basis, such confirmation, trade
tickets and other documents as may be necessary to enable it to perform
its administrative responsibilities with respect to the Covered Funds.
The SUB-ADVISER further shall have the authority to instruct the
Custodian of NAF Variable
3
4
(i) to pay cash for securities and other property delivered, or to be
delivered, to the Custodian for NAF Variable (ii) to deliver securities
and other property against payment for NAF Variable, and (iii) to
transfer assets and funds to such brokerage accounts as the SUB-ADVISER
may designate, all consistent with the powers, authorities and
limitations set forth herein. The SUB-ADVISER shall not have the
authority to cause the Custodian to deliver securities and other
property except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.
The SUB-ADVISER shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an
independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise provided or
authorized, have no authority to act or represent VALIC or the Fund
other than in furtherance of the SUB-ADVISER's duties and
responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement.
Except as otherwise agreed, or as otherwise provided herein, the
SUB-ADVISER shall bear the expense of discharging its responsibilities
hereunder and VALIC shall pay, or arrange for others to pay, all
VALIC's expenses, except that VALIC shall in all events pay the
compensation described in Section 2 of the Agreement.
2. COMPENSATION OF THE SUB-ADVISER
VALIC shall pay to the SUB-ADVISER, as compensation for the services
rendered and expenses paid by the SUB-ADVISER, a monthly fee or fees
based on each Covered Fund's average daily net asset value computed for
each Covered Fund as provided for herein and in the fee schedule
attached hereto as Schedule A. Schedule A may be amended from time to
time, provided that amendments are made in conformity with applicable
laws and regulations and the Articles and Bylaws of NAF Variable. Any
change in Schedule A pertaining to any new or existing Fund shall not
be deemed to affect the interest of any other Fund and shall not
require the approval of shareholders of any other Fund.
The average daily net asset value shall be determined by taking the
mean average of all of the determinations of net asset value, made in
the manner provided in NAF Variable's Declaration, for each business
day during a given calendar month. VALIC shall pay this fee to the
SUB-ADVISER for each calendar month as soon as practicable after the
end of that month, but in any event no later than ten (10) business
days following the end of the month, and shall include or be
supplemented by such supporting documentation as SUB-ADVISER shall
reasonably request. Wire instructions are attached as Schedule B to
this Agreement.
If the SUB-ADVISER serves for less than a whole month, the foregoing
compensation shall be prorated.
The payment of advisory fees related to the services of the SUB-ADVISER
under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of VALIC and
shall not be the responsibility of NAF Variable.
3. SCOPE OF THE SUB-ADVISER'S ACTIVITIES
VALIC understands that the SUB-ADVISER and its affiliates now act, will
continue to act and may act in the future as investment adviser to
fiduciary and other managed accounts and as investment adviser to other
investment companies, and VALIC has no objection to the SUB-ADVISER so
acting, provided that whenever a Covered Fund and one or more other
accounts or investment companies advised by the SUB-ADVISER have
available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate
for each will be allocated in accordance with the SUB-ADVISER's
allocation policy. The SUB-ADVISER similarly agrees to allocate
opportunities to sell securities. VALIC recognizes that, in some cases,
this procedure may limit the size of the position that may be acquired
or sold for a Covered Fund. In addition, VALIC understands that the
persons employed by the SUB-ADVISER to assist in the performance of the
SUB-ADVISER's duties hereunder will not devote their full time to such
service and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or
restrict the right of the SUB-ADVISER or any affiliate of the
SUB-ADVISER to engage in and devote time and attention to other
business or to render services of whatever kind or nature.
Except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, any of the shareholders,
directors, officers and employees of VALIC may be a shareholder,
director, officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the
SUB-ADVISER, and in any person controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the SUB-ADVISER;
4
5
and the SUB-ADVISER, and any person controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the SUB-ADVISER, may have an interest in VALIC.
The SUB-ADVISER shall not be liable to VALIC, NAF Variable, or to any
shareholder in a Covered Fund, and VALIC shall indemnify the
SUB-ADVISER, for any act or omission in rendering services under this
Agreement, or for any losses sustained in connection with the matters
to which this agreement relates, so long as there has been no willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
obligations or duties on the part of the SUB-ADVISER in performing its
duties under this Agreement.
VALIC shall perform quarterly and annual tax compliance tests and
promptly furnish reports of such tests to the SUB-ADVISER after each
quarter end to ensure that a Covered Fund is in compliance with
Subchapter M of the Code and Section 817(h) of the Code. VALIC shall
apprise the SUB-ADVISER promptly after each quarter end of any
potential non-compliance with the diversification requirements in such
Code provisions. If so advised, the SUB-ADVISER shall take prompt
action so that the Covered Funds complies with such Code
diversification provisions, as directed by VALIC.

6
This Agreement shall become effective as to the Covered Funds set forth

of the Amendment to Schedule A adding such Fund in accordance with this
Agreement. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement
shall continue in effect for two years from its effective date.
Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect, but with respect
to any Covered Fund, subject to the termination provisions and all
other terms and conditions hereof, only so long as such continuance is
approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of NAF Variable's
directors who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons
of any such parties, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on such approval, and by a vote of a majority of NAF
Variable's Board of Directors or a majority of a Covered Fund's
outstanding voting securities.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, or in the event of
the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement between VALIC and
NAF Variable as it relates to any Covered Funds; provided that the
termination of an Interim Investment Advisory Agreement between NAF
Variable and VALIC, pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act upon
shareholder approval of a definitive Investment Advisory Agreement with
respect to a Covered Fund, shall not result in the termination of this
Agreement as to such Covered Fund. The Agreement may be terminated as

unable to discharge its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
The SUB-ADVISER may terminate this Agreement at any time, or preclude
its renewal without the payment of any penalty, on not more than 60
days' nor less than 30 days' written notice to VALIC, or upon such
shorter notice as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
6. OTHER MATTERS
The SUB-ADVISER may from time to time employ or associate with itself
any person or persons believed to be particularly fit to assist in its
performance of services under this Agreement, provided no such person
serves or acts as an investment adviser separate from the SUB-ADVISER
so as to require a new written contract pursuant to the 1940 Act. The
compensation of any such persons will be paid by the SUB-ADVISER, and
no obligation will be incurred by, or on behalf of, VALIC or NAF
Variable with respect to them.
The SUB-ADVISER agrees that all books and records which it maintains
for the Covered Funds are the Covered Funds' property. The SUB-ADVISER
also agrees upon request of VALIC or NAF Variable, to promptly
surrender the books and records in accordance with the 1940 Act and
rules thereunder, provided that VALIC reimburses the SUB-ADVISER for
its reasonable expenses in making duplicate copies of such books and
records for SUB-ADVISER's files. The SUB-ADVISER further agrees to
preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act
the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.
VALIC has herewith furnished the SUB-ADVISER copies of NAF Variable's
Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, Articles and Bylaws,
investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and any applicable
procedures adopted by NAF Variable's Board of Directors, as currently
in effect and agrees during the continuance of this Agreement to
furnish the SUB-ADVISER copies of any amendments or supplements thereto
before or at the time the amendments or supplements become effective.
Until VALIC delivers any amendments or supplements to the SUB-ADVISER,
the SUB-ADVISER shall be fully protected in relying on the documents
previously furnished to it. VALIC will inform SUB-ADVISER of any
anticipated changes to the investment objectives and/or restrictions of
the Covered Funds as soon as reasonably practicable.
The SUB-ADVISER is authorized to honor and act on any notice,
instruction or confirmation given by VALIC on behalf of the Covered
Funds in writing signed or sent by any of the persons whose names,
addresses and specimen signatures will be provided by VALIC from time
to time. The SUB-ADVISER shall not be liable for
6
7
so acting in good faith upon such instructions, confirmation or
authority, notwithstanding that it shall subsequently be shown that the
same was not given or signed or sent by an authorized person.
VALIC agrees to furnish the SUB-ADVISER at its principal office prior
to use thereof, copies of all prospectuses, proxy statements, reports
to shareholders, sales literature, or other material prepared for
distribution to shareholders of the Covered Funds or the public that
refer in any way to the SUB-ADVISER, and not to use such material if
the SUB-ADVISER reasonably objects in writing within ten (10) business
days (or such other time as may be mutually agreed) after receipt
thereof. In the event of termination of this agreement, VALIC will
continue to furnish to the SUB-ADVISER copies of any of the
above-mentioned materials that refer in any way to the SUB-ADVISER.
VALIC shall furnish or otherwise make available to the SUB-ADVISER such
other information relating to the business affairs of VALIC and the
Covered Funds as the SUB-ADVISER at any time, or from time to time, may
reasonably request in order to discharge obligations hereunder.
VALIC agrees to indemnify the SUB-ADVISER for losses, costs, fees,
expenses and claims which arise directly or indirectly (i) as a result
of a failure by VALIC to provide the services or furnish materials
required under the terms of this Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, or
(ii) as the result of any untrue statement of a material fact or any
omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to
make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading in any registration statements, proxy
materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other
materials pertaining to the Covered Funds, except insofar as any such
statement or omission was specifically made in reliance on written
information provided by the SUB-ADVISER to VALIC specifically for
inclusion in such documents.
The SUB-ADVISER agrees to indemnify VALIC for losses and claims which
arise (i) as a result of a failure by SUB-ADVISER to provide the
services or furnish the materials required under the terms of this
Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, to the extent of and as a result of
the willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties by the SUB-ADVISER, any of
SUB-ADVISER's employees or representatives; or (ii) as the result of
any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the
statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading in any registration statements, proxy materials,
reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials
pertaining to the Covered Funds to the extent any such statement or
omission was made in reliance on information provided by the
SUB-ADVISER to VALIC specifically for inclusion in such documents.

terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against
