consolidation of any other investment company with the Portfolio, (b) the
Portfolio's acquisition by purchase or otherwise of all or substantially all of

other offering by the Fund of securities to its stockholders.
2. The Fund will reimburse ESI in an amount not to exceed .10% per annum of

3. ESI may sell Shares to or through qualified brokers, dealers and
financial institutions under selling and servicing agreements provided that no
dealer, financial institution or other person shall be appointed or authorized
to act as the Portfolio's agent without its written consent. The Portfolio
acknowledges that, pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the
Portfolio, ESI may arrange for broker-dealers (each a "Broker-Dealer") whose
customers or clients are Portfolio shareholders to enter into agreements with

substance by the Board of Directors to be entered into by the Distributor and
the Broker-Dealers. It is recognized that the Portfolio shall have no obligation
or liability to ESI, or any Broker-Dealer for any such payments under the
agreements with Broker-Dealers. The Portfolio's obligation is solely to make
payments to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement and the Shareholder
Servicing Agreement and to the Distributor under the Distribution Agreement and
Shareholder Servicing Agreement.
4. The Portfolio and ESI will cooperate with each other in taking such
action as may be necessary to qualify Shares for sale under the securities laws
of such states as the Portfolio may designate, provided, that ESI shall not be
required to register as a broker-dealer or file a consent to service of process
in any such state where it is not now so registered. Pursuant to an Advisory
