WHEREAS, on April 1, 2003, FUND ACCOUNTING and the Adviser entered into a sub-administration and sub-accounting agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in which FUND ACCOUNTING and the Adviser delegated to State Street responsibility for performing certain duties which FUND ACCOUNTING and the Adviser otherwise were responsible for under the Agreement and the investment management agreements, respectively; and
WHEREAS, Section 7 of the Agreement entitled “Compensation and FUND ACCOUNTING Expenses” provides that FUND ACCOUNTING shall be entitled to recover its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and Section 5 of each investment management agreement provides that the Adviser is not required to pay any expenses of the Fund other than those specifically allocated to the Adviser; and

FUND ACCOUNTING shall be paid as compensation for its services pursuant to this Agreement such compensation as may from time to time be agreed upon in writing by the two parties.
