Trustees to serve as investment adviser to the Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Subscriber wishes to subscribe for and purchase, and the
Fund wishes to sell to the Subscriber, 7,000 common shares for a purchase price
of $14.325 per share;
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
l. The Subscriber subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Fund

to make payment for these shares at such time as demand for payment may be made

(a) That the shares being subscribed for have not been and will
not be registered under the Securities Act of l933 ("Securities Act");
(b) That the shares will be sold by the Fund in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;
2
(c) That the Fund's reliance upon an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act is predicated in part

including an exemption for limited sales in accordance with the
conditions of Rule l44.
The Subscriber understands that a primary purpose of the information
acknowledged in subparagraphs (a) through (e) above is to put it on notice as to
restrictions on the transferability of the shares.
4. To further induce the Fund to accept its subscription and issue
the shares subscribed for, the Subscriber:
(a) Represents and warrants that the shares subscribed for are
