• Purchase of Shares from the Fund (a) The Underwriter shall have the right to buy from the Fund the shares needed to fill unconditional orders for shares of the Fund placed with the Underwriter by investors or securities dealers, depository institutions or other financial intermediaries acting as agent for their customers. The price which the Underwriter shall pay for the shares so purchased from the Fund shall be the net asset value, determined as set forth in Section 3(d) hereof, used in determining the public offering price on which such orders are based. (b) The shares are to be resold by the Underwriter to investors at a public offering price, as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, or to securities dealers, depository institutions or other financial intermediaries acting as agent for their customers having agreements with the Underwriter upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof. (c) The public offering price of the shares, i.e., the price per share at which the Underwriter or selected dealers or selected agents (each as defined in Section 8(a) below) may sell shares to the public, shall be the public offering price determined in accordance with the then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Fund (the "Prospectus" and "Statement of Additional Information," respectively) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to such shares, but not to exceed the net asset value at which the Underwriter is to purchase such shares, plus, in the case of Class A shares, a front-end sales charge equal to a specified percentage or percentages of the public offering price of the Class A shares as set forth in the Prospectus. Class A shares may be sold without such a sales charge to certain classes of persons as from time to time set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. All payments to the Fund hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 3(f) hereof. (d) The net asset value of shares of the Fund shall be determined by the Fund, or any agent of the Fund, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each Fund business day in accordance with the method set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and guidelines established by the Directors of the Fund. (e) The Fund reserves the right to suspend the offering of its shares at any time in the absolute discretion of its Directors. (f) The Fund, or any agent of the Fund designated in writing to the Underwriter by the Fund, shall be promptly advised by the Underwriter of all purchase orders for shares received by the Underwriter. Any order may be rejected by the Fund; provided, however, that the Fund will not arbitrarily or without reasonable cause refuse to accept or confirm orders for the purchase of shares. The Fund (or its agent) will confirm orders upon their receipt, will make appropriate book entries and upon receipt by the Fund (or its agent) of payment thereof, will deliver deposit receipts or certificates for such shares pursuant to the instructions of the Underwriter. Payment shall be made to the Fund in New York Clearing House funds. The Underwriter agrees to cause such payment and such instructions to be delivered promptly to the Fund (or its agent).

• Stock Fully Paid Reservation and Listing of Shares Covenants (a) The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to issuance. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant and, without limiting the foregoing, will take any actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including without limitation increasing its authorized capital stock. (b) If any shares of the Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange by the Issuer. (c) The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) not, other than pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated July 18, 2000, between the Issuer and Fleet National Bank, as Rights Agent, issue any Capital Stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer, (iv) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (v) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. (d) The Issuer shall not declare, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, other than Common Stock of the same class or series (a "Distribution"), with respect to its Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent unless the Issuer concurrently makes a cash payment to the Holder of this Warrant equal to the product of (1) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property or securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent computed as provided in subparagraph (i) of Section 5(f) hereof multiplied by (2) the Warrant Share Number.
