3. The Adviser shall, at its own expense, maintain such
staff and employ or retain such personnel and consult with such other

4. Each Fund will, from time to time, furnish or otherwise
make available to the Adviser such financial reports, proxy statements
and other information relating to the business and affairs of such
Fund as the Adviser may reasonably require in order to discharge its
duties and obligations hereunder. The Adviser shall, as agent for each
Fund, maintain the Fund's records required in connection with the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and required to be
maintained under the Act. All such records so maintained shall be the
property of the Funds and, upon request therefor, the Adviser shall

5. The Adviser shall bear the cost of rendering the
investment advisory and supervisory services to be performed by it under
this Agreement, and shall, at its own expense, pay the compensation of
the officers and employees, if any, of the Funds who are also directors,
officers or employees of the Adviser.
6. Except as otherwise provided in the Administration
Agreement, each Fund assumes and shall pay or cause to be paid all other
expenses of such Fund, including without limitation: fees and expenses
payable under the Administration Agreement, the charges and expenses of
any registrar, any custodian or depository appointed by the Fund for the
safekeeping of its cash, portfolio securities and commodities and other
property, and any stock transfer or dividend agent or agents appointed

with portfolio securities transactions to which the Fund is a party; all

distributing prospectuses of the Fund and supplements thereto to the
Fund's shareholders; all expenses of shareholders' and Trustees'/Directors'
meetings and of preparing, printing and mailing proxy statements and
reports to shareholders; fees and travel expenses of Trustees/Directors
or members of any advisory board or committee who are not employees of
the Adviser or any corporate affiliate of the Adviser; all expenses
incident to the payment of any dividend, distribution, withdrawal or
redemption (and in the case of the closed-end funds, any dividend or
distribution program), whether in shares or in cash; charges and expenses
of any outside pricing service used for pricing of the Fund's shares;
charges and expenses of legal counsel, including counsel to the
Trustees/Directors of the Fund who are not interested persons (as defined
in the Act) of the Fund or the Adviser, and of independent accountants in
connection with any matter relating to the Fund; membership dues of the
Investment Company Institute (and in the case of the closed-end funds,
other appropriate industry associations); interest payable on Fund
borrowings; (and in the case of the closed-end funds, fees and expenses
incident to the listing of the funds' shares on any stock exchange);

and Trustees/Directors) of the Fund which inure to its benefit;
extraordinary expenses (including but not limited to legal claims and
liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto);
and all other charges and costs of the Fund's operation.
7. For the services to be rendered, the facilities furnished,
and the expenses assumed by the Adviser, each Fund shall pay to the Adviser
monthly compensation determined by applying the annual rates to the Fund's
daily net assets (weekly net assets with respect to each closed-end fund)
as set forth in Schedule A. Except as hereinafter set forth, compensation
under this Agreement shall be calculated and accrued daily and the amounts
of the daily accruals shall be paid monthly. Such calculations shall be
made by applying 1/365ths of the annual rates to each Fund's net assets
each day determined as of the close of business on that day or the last
previous business day.
In connection with the closed-end funds identified on Schedule A,
compensation under this Agreement shall be calculated and accrued weekly
and paid monthly by applying the annual rates to the average weekly net
assets of the Fund determined as of the close of the last business day
of each week, except for such closed-end funds as may be specified in
Schedule A. At the request of the Adviser, compensation hereunder shall
be calculated and accrued at more frequent intervals in a manner consistent
with the calculation of fees on a weekly basis.
If this Agreement becomes effective subsequent to the first day of
a month or shall terminate before the last day of a month, compensation for
that part of the month this Agreement is in effect shall be prorated in a
manner consistent with the calculation of the fees as set forth in Schedule A.
Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof, payment of the Adviser's
compensation for the preceding month shall be made as promptly as possible
after completion of the computation contemplated by paragraph 8 hereof.
8. This section is applicable only to those Funds listed on
Annex 2 and subject to any fund specific requirements set forth in Annex 2.
In the event the operating expenses of those Funds identified in Annex 2
to this Agreement, including amounts payable to the Adviser pursuant to
paragraph 7 hereof and the amounts payable by the Funds under the
Administration Agreement, for any fiscal year ending on a date on which this
Agreement is in effect, exceed the expense limitations applicable to a Fund
imposed by state securities laws or regulations thereunder, as such
limitations may be raised or lowered from time to time, the Adviser shall
reduce its advisory fee to the extent of such excess and, if required,
pursuant to any such laws or regulations, will reimburse a Fund for annual
operating expenses in excess of any expense limitation that may be
applicable; provided, however, there shall be excluded from such expenses
the amount of any interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses (including but not limited to legal claims and liabilities and
litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto) paid or payable
by a Fund. Such reduction, if any, shall be computed and accrued daily
(and in the case of the closed-end funds, weekly), shall be settled on a
monthly basis, and shall be based upon the expense limitation applicable
to a Fund as at the end of the last business day of the month. Should two
or more such expense limitations be applicable as at the end of the last
business day of the month (and in the case of the closed-end funds, as at
the end of the last full week of the month), that expense limitation which
results in the largest reduction in the Adviser's fee shall be applicable.
9. The Adviser will use its best efforts in the supervision
and management of the investment activities of each Fund, but in the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of its obligations hereunder, the Adviser shall not be liable
to a Fund or any of its investors for any error of judgment or mistake of
law or for any act or omission by the Adviser or for any losses sustained
by a Fund or its investors.
10. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the
Adviser or any affiliated person of the Adviser from acting as investment
adviser or manager for any other person, firm or corporation and shall not
in any way bind or restrict the Adviser or any such affiliated person from
buying, selling or trading any securities or commodities for their own
accounts or for the account of others for whom they may be acting. Nothing
in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any trustee/director,
officer or employee of the Adviser 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 or dissimilar nature.
11. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to each
Fund for a period of up to one year from the effective date hereof (except
with respect to any Fund added to Schedule A of this Agreement after the
date hereof, for an initial period of two years from the date that such
Fund is added) and thereafter provided such continuance is approved at least
annually by the vote of holders of a majority (as defined in the Act) of the
outstanding voting securities of each Fund or by the Board of
Trustees/Directors of such Fund; provided that in either event such
continuance is also approved annually by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees/Directors of such Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or
"interested persons" (as defined in the Act) of any such party, which vote
must be cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval; provided, however, that (a) each Fund may, at any time and without
the payment of any penalty, terminate this Agreement upon thirty days' written
notice to the Adviser, either by majority vote of the Board of
Trustees/Directors of such Fund or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of such Fund; (b) this Agreement shall
immediately terminate in the event of its assignment (within the meaning of
the Act) unless such automatic termination shall be prevented by an exemptive
order of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (c) the Adviser may
terminate this Agreement without payment of penalty on thirty days' written
notice to such Fund. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in
writing, addressed and delivered, or mailed post-paid, to the other party at
the principal office of such party.
Any approval of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of any portfolio/series of a Fund shall be
effective to continue this Agreement with respect to such portfolio/series
notwithstanding (a) that this Agreement has not been approved by the holders
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of any other
portfolio/series or (b) that this Agreement has not been approved by the
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund of
which it is a portfolio/series unless such approval shall be required by
any other applicable law or otherwise.
12. This Agreement may be amended by the parties without
the vote or consent of shareholders of a Fund to supply any omission,
to cure, correct or supplement any ambiguous, defective or inconsistent
provision hereof, or if they deem it necessary to conform this Agreement
to the requirements of applicable federal laws or regulations, but
neither the Funds nor the Adviser shall be liable for failing to do so.
13. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the law of the State of New York and the applicable provisions
of the Act. To the extent the applicable law of the State of New
York, or any of the provisions herein, conflicts with the applicable
provisions of the Act, the latter shall control.
14. With respect to those Funds that are Massachusetts
business trusts, the Declaration of Trust, together with all
amendments thereto establishing each Fund identified in Schedule A
as a Massachusetts business trust (the "Declaration"), is on file in
the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
provides that the name of such Funds refers to the Trustees under the
Declaration collectively as Trustees, but not as individuals or
personally; and no Trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent
of such Funds shall be held to any personal liability, nor shall
resort be had to their private property for the satisfaction of any
obligation or claim or otherwise, in connection with the affairs of
such Funds, but the Trust Estate only shall be liable.
15. The Adviser and each Fund agree that the name Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx is a property right of the Adviser or its parent. Each Fund
agrees and consents that (i) it will only use the name Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
as a component of its name and for no other purpose, (ii) it will not
purport to grant to any third party the right to use the Name for any
purpose, (iii) the Adviser or its parent, or any corporate affiliate
of the Adviser's parent, may use or grant to others the right to use
the name Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, or any combination or abbreviation thereof,
as all or a portion of a corporate or business name or for any
commercial purpose, including a grant of such right to any other
investment company, (iv) at the request of the Adviser or its parent
or any corporate affiliate of the Adviser's parent, each Fund will
take such action as may be required to provide its consent to the use
name Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, or any combination or abbreviation thereof, by
the Adviser or its parent or any corporate affiliate of the Adviser's
parent, or by any person to whom the Adviser or its then current
parent or a corporate affiliate of the Adviser's parent shall have
granted the right to such use, and (v) upon the termination of any
investment advisory agreement into which a corporate affiliate of the
Adviser's parent and each Fund may enter, or upon termination of
affiliation of the Adviser with its parent, each Fund shall, upon
request of the Adviser or its parent or any corporate affiliate of
the Adviser's parent, cease to use the Name as a component of its
name, and shall not use the name, or any combination or abbreviation
thereof, as a part of its name or for any other commercial purpose,
and shall cause its officers, trustees/directors and shareholders to
take any and all actions which the Adviser or its parent or any
corporate affiliate of the Adviser's parent, may request to effect
the foregoing and to reconvey to the Adviser's parent any and all
rights to such name.
