in connection with the organization of the Fund if the initial public
offering is not completed. The Adviser also agrees that if the initial
public offering occurs, the Adviser will bear the organizational expenses
and the costs of the initial offering of common shares of beneficial
interest of the Fund ("shares") to the extent such organizational and
offering expenses exceed $0.03 per share. The expenses for which the Fund
is being reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement do not include (i)
Management Fees payable by the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Management
Agreement, as such may be modified by the Waiver Agreement, and (ii) any

Trustees of the Fund, including the vote of the members of the Board who

affected.
4. The Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust is on
file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This
Agreement is executed on behalf of the Fund by the Fund's officers as
officers and not individually and the obligations imposed upon the Fund by
