8. Duration of Agreement. With respect to each Series identified as
a Portfolio on Schedule A hereto as in effect on the date of this
Amendment, unless earlier terminated with respect to any Portfolio this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect through November 30,

specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company, or (ii) the vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting shares of the Portfolio (as defined in the 1940
Act), and provided that such continuance is also approved by the vote of a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not parties to
this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the
Company or the Adviser, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on such approval.
With respect to any Portfolio that was added to Schedule A hereto as

including a majority of those Directors who are not interested persons (as
such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser, and the shareholders
of such Portfolio, shall have approved this Agreement. Unless terminated
earlier as provided herein with respect to any such
Portfolio, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a
period of two years from the date of its effectiveness (as identified
above) with respect to that Portfolio. Thereafter, unless earlier
terminated with respect to a Portfolio, the Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect with respect to each such Portfolio for periods of
one year, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least
annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Company, or (ii) vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of
such Portfolio (as defined in the 1940 Act), and provided that such
continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Company who are not parties to this Agreement or
"interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Company or the
Adviser, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
