MISCELLANEOUS.  The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of

reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court or regulatory agency decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and shall be governed by Delaware law; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
