Description of Changes in the Fund's Investment Policies
That Have Not Been Submitted to a Vote of Security Holders
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the LB Series Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund") held on December 4, 1997, the Directors of the Fund approved the
following change in the non-fundamental investment policy of the Money
Market Portfolio of the Fund:
RESOLVED, that the investment policies of the LB Series Fund,
Inc. (the "Fund") as set forth in the "Investment Objectives
and Policies" section of the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information are hereby amended by deleting the following
paragraph from such section:
3. Commercial paper issued by domestic corporations which at
the date of investment has been found by the Portfolio's Adviser
to have minimal credit risk and is rated "high quality" by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard &
Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), provided that in no event will
the Portfolio invest in commercial paper rated lower than
Prime-2 by Moody's or A-2 by S&P or, if not rated, issued by
domestic corporations which have an outstanding senior long-
term debt issue rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or better
by S&P. In the case where commercial paper has received different
ratings from different services, such commercial paper is an
acceptable investment so long as at least one rating is a top
quality rating and provided the commercial paper presents
minimal credit risk. The Portfolio will not invest more than 5%
of its assets in securities that have received different ratings
from different services, and will invest no more than 1% of its
assets in the securities of one issuer, when such securities
have received different ratings. Long term corporate debt issues
having less than 397 days to maturity are deemed to be commercial
paper and to have a credit risk equal to the issuer's commercial
paper rating. See "Description of Debt Ratings" for an explanation
of the ratings issued by Moody's and S&P. "Commercial paper"
consists of short-term (usually from one to 270 days) unsecured
promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their
current operations.
And inserting the following paragraph in place of the above deleted
paragraph:
3. Commercial paper issued by domestic corporations which at the
date of investment have been found by the Portfolio's Adviser to
have minimal credit risk and, except as noted below, are rated
"high quality" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), or any other similar
nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO"),
provided that in no event will the Portfolio invest in commercial
paper rated lower than Prime-2 by Moody's or A-2 by S&P or any
comparable rating by any other NRSRO or, if not rated, issued by
domestic corporations which have an outstanding senior long-term
debt issue rated A or lower by Moody's or A or lower by S&P. In
the case where commercial paper has received different ratings
from different services, such commercial paper is an acceptable
investment so long as at least one rating is a top quality
rating and provided the commercial paper presents minimal credit
risk. When a security has received ratings by two or more
different NRSROs and at least two of the ratings are the highest
rating given by such NRSROs, the security will be considered "high
quality". When a security has received ratings by two or more
different NRSROs and only one of the ratings is the highest rating
given by such NRSROs, the security will not be considered "high
quality". The Portfolio will not invest more than 5% of its
assets in securities that have received ratings from two or more
different NRSROs and less than two of the ratings are the highest
rating given by such NRSROs, and will invest no more than 1% of
its assets in the securities of any one issuer, when the issuer's
securities have received ratings from two or more different NRSROs
and less than two of the ratings are the highest rating given by
such NRSROs. Long term corporate debt issues having less than 397
days to maturity are deemed to be commercial paper and to have a
credit risk equal to the issuer's commercial paper rating. See
"Description of Debt Ratings" for an explanation of the ratings

and

1998, between Lutheran Brotherhood ("Adviser"), a fraternal benefit society
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota, the LB
Series Fund, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Minnesota ("Fund"), and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("Sub-
Adviser"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Maryland.
WHEREAS, the Adviser has entered into an Advisory Agreement dated as of
January 31, 1994 ("Advisory Agreement") with the Fund, which is engaged in
business as an open-end investment Fund registered under the Investment Fund
Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue shares of the Opportunity
Growth Portfolio ("Portfolio"), a separate portfolio of the Fund;
WHEREAS, the Sub-Adviser is engaged principally in the business of
rendering investment supervisory services and is registered as an investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Advisers
Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund and Adviser desire to retain the Sub-Adviser as sub-
adviser to furnish certain investment advisory services to the Adviser and
the Portfolio and the Sub-Adviser is willing to furnish such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises
herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment. Adviser hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser as its
investment sub-adviser with respect to the Portfolio for the period and on
the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser accepts such
appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the
compensation herein provided.
2. Duties of the Sub-Adviser.
A. Investment Sub-Advisory Services. Subject to the supervision of
the Fund's Board of Directors ("Board") and the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser
shall act as the investment sub-adviser and shall supervise and direct the
investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the Portfolio's investment
objectives, policies, and restrictions as provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as currently in effect
and as amended or supplemented from time to time (hereinafter referred to as
the "Prospectus"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may impose by
notice in writing to the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall obtain and
evaluate such information relating to the economy, industries, businesses,
securities markets, and securities as it may deem necessary or useful in the
discharge of its obligations hereunder and shall formulate and implement a
continuing program for the management of the assets and resources of the
Portfolio in a manner consistent with the Portfolio's investment
objective(s), policies, and restrictions. In furtherance of this duty, the
Sub-Adviser, on behalf of the Portfolio, is authorized, in its discretion
and without prior consultation with the Portfolio or the Adviser, to:
(1) buy, sell, exchange, convert, lend, and otherwise trade in any
stocks, bonds, and other securities or assets; and
(2) directly or through the trading desks of affiliates of Robert
Fleming Holdings Limited ("Robert Fleming") and Jardine Fleming Group
Limited ("JFG") place orders and negotiate the commissions (if any) for the
execution of transactions in securities or other assets with or through such
brokers, dealers, underwriters or issuers as the Sub-Adviser may select.
B. Further Duties of Sub-Adviser. In all matters relating to the
performance of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser shall act in conformity with
the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and currently effective
Registration Statement (as defined below) and with the written instructions
and directions of the Board and the Adviser, and shall comply with the
requirements of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the rules thereunder, and
all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Sub-Adviser shall have primary responsibility
for compliance with Rules 10f-3 and 17e-1 under the 1940 Act in each case in
which affiliates of Robert Fleming or JFG are used for the execution of
portfolio securities transactions.
3. Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed
by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser shall receive
a monthly investment management fee as set forth in Schedule 1, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The management fee shall be
payable monthly to the Sub-Adviser on or before the 10th day of the next
succeeding calendar month. If this Agreement becomes effective or
terminates before the end of any month, the investment management fee for
the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the
beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be,
shall be prorated according to the proration which such period bears to the
full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.
4. Duties of the Adviser.
A. The Adviser shall continue to have responsibility for all services
to be provided to the Portfolio pursuant to the Advisory Agreement except
those services to be performed by the sub-adviser hereunder and shall
oversee and review the Sub-Adviser's performance of its duties under this
Agreement.
B. The Adviser has furnished the Sub-Adviser with copies of each of
the following documents and will furnish to the Sub-Adviser at its principal
office all future amendments and supplements to such documents, if any, as
soon as practicable after such documents become available:
(1) The Articles of Incorporation of the Fund, as filed with
the State of Minnesota, as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from
time to time ("Articles of Incorporation");
(2) The By-Laws of the Fund as in effect on the date hereof
and as amended from time to time ("By-Laws");
(3) Certified resolutions of the Board of the Fund
authorizing the appointment of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and approving
the form of the Advisory Agreement and this Agreement;
(4) The Fund's Registration Statement under the 1940 Act and
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form N-1A, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to the Portfolio and its
shares and all amendments thereto ("Registration Statement");
(5) The Notification of Registration of the Fund under the
1940 Act on Form N-8A as filed with the SEC and any amendments thereto;
(6) The Portfolio's Prospectus (as defined above); and
(7) A certified copy of any financial statement or report
prepared for the Portfolio by certified or independent public accountants,
and copies of any financial statements or reports made by the Portfolio to
its shareholders or to any governmental body or securities exchange.
The Adviser shall furnish the Sub-Adviser with any further documents,
materials or information that the Sub-Adviser may reasonably request to
enable it to perform its duties pursuant to this Agreement.
C. During the term of this Agreement, the Adviser shall furnish to the
Sub-Adviser at its principal office all prospectuses, proxy statements,
reports to shareholders, sales literature, or other material prepared for
distribution to shareholders of the Portfolio or the public, which refer to
the Sub-Adviser or its clients in any way, prior to the use thereof, and the
adviser shall not use any such materials if the Sub-Adviser reasonably
objects in writing fifteen business days (or such other time as may be
mutually agreed) after receipt thereof. The Adviser shall ensure that
materials prepared by employees or agents of the Adviser or its affiliates
that refer to the Sub-Adviser or its clients in any way are consistent with
those materials previously approved by the Sub-Adviser as referenced in the
preceding sentence.
5. Brokerage.
A. The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with broker-dealers
for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, it shall attempt to obtain
quality execution at favorable security prices; provided that, on behalf of
the Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, agree to pay a
broker-dealer that furnishes brokerage or research services as such services
are defined under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("1934 Act"), a higher commission than that which might have been
charged by another broker-dealer for effecting the same transactions, if the
Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in
relation to the brokerage and research services provided by the broker-
dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser with respect to the accounts as to which
it exercises investment discretion (as such term is defined under Section
3(a)(35) of the 1934 Act). In no instance will portfolio securities be
purchased from or sold to the Sub-Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof,
except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and
regulations thereunder;
B. On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a
security to be in the best interest of the Portfolio as well as other
clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, to the extent permitted by
applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to,
aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to obtain a more
favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In
such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as
the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in
the manner the Sub-Adviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent
with its fiduciary obligation's to the Fund and to its other clients.
6. Ownership of Records. The Sub-Adviser shall maintain all books and
records required to be maintained by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the 1940
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to
transactions on behalf of the Portfolio. In compliance with the
requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees
(i) that all records that it maintains for the Portfolio are the property of
the Fund, (ii) to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under
the 1940 Act any records that it maintains for the Fund and that are
required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act, and (iii) agrees
to surrender promptly to the Fund any records that it maintains for the Fund
upon request by the Fund; provided, however, the Sub-Adviser may retain
copies of such records.
7. Reports. The Sub-Adviser shall furnish to the Board or the
Adviser, or both, as appropriate, such information, reports, evaluations,
analyses and opinions as the Sub-Adviser and the Board or the Adviser, as
appropriate, may mutually agree upon from time to time.
8. Services to Others Clients. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall limit or restrict (i) the freedom of the Sub-Adviser, or any
affiliated person thereof, to render investment management and corporate
administrative services to other investment companies, to act as investment
manager or investment counselor to other persons, firms, or corporations, or
to engage in any other business activities, or (ii) the right of any
director, officer, or employee of the Sub-Adviser, who may also be a
trustee, officer, or employee of the Fund, to engage in any other business
or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or
other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a
dissimilar nature.
9. Sub-Adviser's Use of the Services of Others. The Sub-Adviser may
(at its cost except as contemplated by Paragraph 5 of this Agreement)
employ, retain, or otherwise avail itself of the services or facilities of
other persons or organizations for the purpose of providing the Sub-Adviser
or the Fund or Portfolio, as appropriate, with such statistical and other
factual information, such advice regarding economic factors and trends, such
advice as to occasional transactions in specific securities, or such other
information, advice, or assistance as the Sub-Adviser may deem necessary,
appropriate, or convenient for the discharge of its obligations hereunder or
otherwise helpful to the Fund or the Portfolio, as appropriate, or in the
discharge of Sub-Advisers overall responsibilities with respect to the other
accounts that it serves as investment manager or counselor.
10. Limitation of Liability of the Sub-Adviser. Neither the Sub-
Adviser nor any of its officers, directors, or employees, nor any person
performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the
Fund, the Portfolio (at the direction or request of the Sub-Adviser) or the
Sub-Adviser in connection with the Sub-Adviser's discharge of its
obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to this Agreement,
shall be liable for (i) any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any
loss suffered by the Fund or Portfolio or (ii) any error of fact or mistake
of law contained in any report or data provided by the Sub-Adviser, except
for any error, mistake or loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad
faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its or his duties on behalf
of the Fund or Portfolio or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser or
any
such person of the duties of the Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement.
11. Representations of Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser represents,
warrants, and agrees as follows:
A. The Sub-Adviser: (i) is registered as an investment adviser under
the Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this
Agreement remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the 1940 Act or the
Advisers Act from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement;
(iii) has met, and will continue to meet for so long as this Agreement
remains in effect, any other applicable federal or state requirements, or
the applicable requirements of any regulatory or industry self-regulatory
agency, necessary to be met in order to perform the services contemplated by
this Agreement (iv) has the authority to enter into and perform the services
contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) will immediately notify the Adviser
of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Sub-Adviser from
serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to
Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise.
B. The Sub-Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics complying with
the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and, if it has not already
done so, will provide the Adviser and the Fund with a copy of such code of
ethics, together with evidence of its adoption.
C. The Sub-Adviser has provided the Adviser and the Fund with a copy
of its Form ADV as most recently filed with the SEC and will, promptly after
filing any amendment to its Form ADV with the SEC, furnish a copy of such

12. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
date first above written, provided that this Agreement shall not take effect
unless it has first been approved (i) by a vote of a majority of those
directors of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or interested
persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the
Portfolio's outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall continue in
effect unless terminated pursuant to Section 13 hereof subject to all terms
and conditions hereof, so long as such continuation shall be specifically
approved at least annually (a) by either the Board, or by vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio; (b) in either event,
by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval, of a majority of the directors of the Fund who are not
parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party; and (c)
the Sub-Adviser shall not have notified the Fund, in writing, at least 60
days prior to such approval that it does not desire such continuation. The
Sub-Adviser shall furnish to the Fund, promptly upon its request, such
information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of this
Agreement or any extension, renewal, or amendment hereof.
13. Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty,
by vote of the Board or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio on at least 60 days' prior written notice to the
Sub-Adviser. This Agreement may also be terminated by the Adviser: (i) on
at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Sub-Adviser, without the
payment of any penalty; (ii) upon material breach by the Sub-Adviser of any
of the representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph 11 of this
Agreement, if such breach shall not have been cured within a 20-day period
after notice of such breach; or (iii) if the Sub-Adviser becomes unable to
discharge its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser
may terminate this Agreement at any time, without the payment of any
penalty, on at least 60 days' prior notice to the Adviser. This Agreement
shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment or upon
termination of the Advisory Agreement.
14. Amendment of Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be
changed, waived, discharged, or terminated orally, but only by an instrument
in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change,
waiver, discharge, or termination is sought, and no material amendment of
this Agreement shall be effective until approved by vote of a majority of
the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities.
15. Miscellaneous.
A. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof and the 1940 Act. To the extent that
the applicable laws of the State of Maryland conflict with the applicable
provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control.
B. Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are included
for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the
provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.
C. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto and shall supersede any prior
agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and
all such prior agreements shall be deemed terminated upon the effectiveness
of this Agreement.
D. Interpretation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
require the Fund to take any action contrary to its Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws, or any applicable statutory or regulatory
requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or
deprive the Board of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of
the affairs of the Portfolio.
E. Definitions. Any question of interpretation of any term or
provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived
from a term or provision of the 1940 Act shall be resolved by reference to
such term or provision of the 1940 Act and to interpretations thereof, if
any, by the United States courts or, in the absence of any controlling
decision of any such court, by rules, regulations, or orders of the SEC
validly issued pursuant to the Act. As used in this Agreement, the terms
"majority of the outstanding voting securities," "affiliated person,"
"interested person," "assignment," "broker," "investment adviser," "net
assets," "sale," "sell," and "security" shall have the same meaning as such
terms have in the 1940 Act, subject to such exemption as may be granted by
the SEC by any rule, regulation, or order. Where the effect of a
requirement of the federal securities laws reflected in any provision of
this Agreement is made less restrictive by a rule, regulation, or order of
the SEC, whether of special or general application, such provision shall be
deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation, or order.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this instrument to
be executed by their duly authorized signatories as of the date and year
first above written.
