have previously entered into that certain Subadvisory Agreement dated effective

requires amendment;

hereunder by the Subadviser, the Manager will pay to the Subadviser a quarterly
Subadvisory fee equal to 0.30% per annum of the average daily net assets of the
portion of the Fund managed by the Subadviser, less the average daily amount of
such net assets that are invested in a money market fund which itself pays an
advisory fee to the Subadviser. The minimum fee to the Subadviser will be
$10,500 per quarter ($42,000 annually)."
In all other respects, the Agreement shall and hereby does remain in full
force and effect.
