such other limitations or directions as the Trustees/Directors of the Fund may
from time to time prescribe.
3. The Investment Adviser shall, at its own expense, maintain such staff

4. Each Fund will, from time to time, furnish or otherwise make available
to the Investment Adviser such financial reports, proxy statements and other
information relating to the business and affairs of such Fund as the Investment
Adviser may reasonably require in order to discharge its duties and obligations
hereunder.
5. The Investment 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 Investment 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

dividend agent or agents appointed by the

supplements thereto to the Fund's shareholders; all expenses of shareholders'

Trustees/Directors or members of any advisory board or committee who are not

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

fees and expenses incident to the listing of the funds' shares on any stock
exchange); postage; insurance premiums on property or personnel (including
officers 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 Investment Adviser, each Fund shall pay to the
Investment 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, provided, however, that in no event
will the sum of the fee payable hereunder by each Fund to the Investment Adviser
hereunder and the fee payable by that Fund under the Administration Agreement,
as that agreement may be amended from time to time, exceed the fee payable by
the Fund under the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement. For the
purposes of calculating the advisory fee hereunder and the administrative fee
under the Administration Agreement for the closed-end funds referenced on ANNEX
2 the liquidation preference of any Preferred Shares issued by each of such
Funds will not be deducted from the Fund's total assets. 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 Investment 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
3
provisions of paragraph 8 hereof, payment of the Investment 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 3 and
subject to any fund specific requirements set forth in ANNEX 3. In the event the
operating expenses of those Funds identified in ANNEX 3 to this Agreement,
including amounts payable to the Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment Adviser's fee shall be applicable.
9. The Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment Adviser or for any losses sustained by a Fund or
its investors.
10. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Investment
Adviser or any affiliated person of the Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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 (if applicable, Common Shares and Preferred Shares
voting together as a single class) 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 Investment 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 (if applicable,
Common Shares and Preferred
4
Shares voting together as a single class); (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 Investment 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 Investment 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. 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 Investment Adviser and each Fund agree that the name Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx is a property right of the Investment 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
Investment Adviser or its parent, or any corporate affiliate of the Investment
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
Investment Adviser or its parent or any corporate affiliate of the Investment
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 Investment Adviser or its parent or any corporate affiliate of
the Investment Adviser's parent, or by any person to whom the Investment Adviser
or its then current parent or a corporate affiliate of the Investment 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
Investment Adviser's parent and each Fund may enter, or upon termination of
affiliation of the Investment Adviser with its parent, each Fund shall, upon
request of the Investment Adviser or its parent or any corporate affiliate of
the Investment 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 Investment Adviser or its parent
5
or any corporate affiliate of the Investment Adviser's parent, may request to
effect the foregoing and to reconvey to the Investment Adviser's parent any and
all rights to such name.
