         WHEREAS, the Fund and the Adviser have separately entered into an

follows:

                  1. As set forth in the prospectus of the Fund dated June 12,
         2003 (the "Prospectus"), the Adviser agrees to pay all organizational
         expenses of the Fund and all offering costs (other than sales loads)
         that exceed $0.03 per Common Share (as such term is defined in the
         Prospectus).

                  2. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made
         invalid by a court decision, statute, rule, or otherwise, the remainder
         shall not be thereby affected.

         Secretary 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 this
         Agreement are not binding upon any of the Fund's Trustees, officers or
         shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and
         property of the Fund.

                  4. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
         applicable federal law and (except as to Section 3 hereof which shall
         be construed in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts) the laws of
         the State of Illinois.

to be executed on the day and year above written.
