ATTACHMENT FOR CURRENT FILING OF N-SAR SUB-ITEM 77Q1(g)

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Plan”) is made this 3rd day of March, 2008, by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust (“JHT”), a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of each “Acquired Fund” and its corresponding “Acquiring Fund” listed below, all of which are separate series or funds of JHT, and, for purposes of Sections 1(a)(ii) and 9 of the Plan only, by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”), the investment adviser to JHT:

Acquired Fund		Corresponding Acquiring Fund
Dynamic Growth Trust	--	Mid Cap Stock Trust
Growth & Income Trust	--	Quantitative All Cap Trust
Quantitative Mid Cap Trust	--	Mid Cap Index Trust
U.S. Global Leaders Growth Trust	--	Blue Chip Growth Trust

This Plan shall be deemed to be a separate agreement by JHT on behalf of each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund. As used herein, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are, respectively, the “Acquired Fund” and the “Acquiring Fund.”

WHEREAS, JHT intends to provide for the reorganization of the Acquired Fund through the acquisition by the Acquiring Fund of all or substantially all of the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for Series I, Series II and NAV voting shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, of the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquiring Fund Shares”), the liquidation of the Acquired Fund and the distribution to Acquired Fund shareholders of the Acquiring Fund Shares (the “Reorganization”); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of JHT has determined that the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of each such Fund, as well as the best interests of shareholders and owners of variable life and annuity contracts funded by shares of such Funds (“contract owners”), and that the interests of existing shareholders and contract owners will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, JHT on behalf of, respectively, the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, hereto agrees as follows:

1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND

(a)	Plan of Reorganization.

(i)	JHT on behalf of the Acquired Fund, will convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund all of

the then existing assets of the Acquired Fund (consisting, without limitation, of portfolio securities and instruments, dividend and interest receivables, cash and other assets). In consideration thereof, JHT on behalf of the Acquiring Fund will (A) assume and pay, to the extent that they exist on or after the Effective Time of the Reorganization (as defined in Section 1(b)(i) hereof), all of the obligations and liabilities of the Acquired Fund and (B) issue and deliver to the Acquired Fund that number of full and fractional Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund as determined in Section 1(c) hereof.

Any Series I, Series II and NAV shares of capital stock (if any), par value $.01 per share, of the Acquired Fund (“Acquired Fund Shares”) held in the treasury of JHT at the Effective Time of the Reorganization shall thereupon be retired. Such transactions shall take place on the date provided for in Section 1(b) hereof (the “Exchange Date”). All computations for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund shall be performed by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), as custodian and pricing agent for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund. The determination of the Custodian shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest.

(ii) JHIMS has advised JHT that, in connection with the Reorganization, and prior to the Effective Time of the Reorganization (as defined in Section 1(b)(i) hereof), the Lifestyle Trusts of JHT are expected to redeem from the U.S. Global Leaders Growth Trust (an Acquired Fund), approximately $750 million of the current investments by the Lifestyle Trusts in that Acquired Fund, representing, as of November 30, 2007, approximately 93% of the net assets of that Acquired Fund.

(iii) As of the Effective Time of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record (“Acquired Fund shareholders”) as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) in actual or constructive exchange for the shares of the Acquired Fund held by the Acquired Fund shareholders. The holders of Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquired Fund will receive, respectively, Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund shareholders and representing the respective pro-rata number of the Acquiring Fund Shares due such shareholders. The Acquiring Fund will not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

(iv) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the Reorganization, JHT shall take all the necessary steps under Massachusetts law, JHT’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) and any other applicable law to effect a complete dissolution of the Acquired Fund.

(b)	Exchange Date and Effective Time of the Reorganization.

(i)	Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Reorganization specified in this Plan, the

Reorganization shall occur as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Effective Time of the Reorganization”) on the day (the “Exchange Date”) which is the later of (A) the final adjournment of the meeting of the holders of Acquired Fund shares at which this Plan will be considered, (B) April 25, 2008 and (C) such later day as JHT may determine.

(ii) All acts taking place on the Exchange Date shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization unless otherwise provided.

(iii) In the event that on the proposed Exchange Date (A) the New York Stock Exchange shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted, or (B) trading or the reporting of trading on said Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate valuation of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Exchange Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

(iv) On the Exchange Date, portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund shall be transferred by the Custodian to the account of the Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer, in such

condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the custom of brokers, and shall be accompanied by all necessary federal and state stock transfer stamps or a check for the appropriate purchase price thereof.

(c)	Valuation.

(i)	The net asset value per share of the Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund and

the net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred in exchange for such Series I, Series II and NAV shares shall be determined as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization. The net asset value per share of the Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund shall be computed by the Custodian in the manner set forth in JHT’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws and then current prospectus and statement of additional information and shall be computed to not less than two decimal places. The net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred shall be computed by the Custodian by calculating the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund and by subtracting therefrom the amount of the liabilities assigned and transferred to the Acquiring Fund, said assets and liabilities to be valued in the manner set forth in JHT’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws and then current prospectus and statement of additional information.

(ii) The number of Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s assets shall be determined by dividing the net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to shares of each class and to be transferred by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Series I, Series II and NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund, both as determined in accordance with Section 1(c)(i).

(iii) All computations of value shall be made by the Custodian in accordance with its regular practice as pricing agent for the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund.

JHT shall have received the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ PLLC, dated on or before the Effective Time of the Reorganization, addressed to and in form and substance satisfactory to JHT, as to certain of the federal income tax consequences under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) of the Reorganization insofar as it relates to the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund (the “Tax Opinion’). For purposes of rendering its opinion, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ PLLC may rely exclusively and without independent verification, as to factual matters, on the statements made in the Plan, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and on such other written representations as a senior officer of JHT will have verified as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization. The opinion will be to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein, for federal income tax purposes:
