carrying out its responsibilities under this Agreement, subject to the

authority to act for or represent the Corporation in any way or otherwise be
deemed an agent for the Corporation.
The Adviser shall, for purposes of this Agreement, have and exercise full
investment discretion and authority to act as agent for the Corporation in
buying, selling or otherwise disposing of or managing the Corporation's
investments, subject to the supervision of the Board.
II. DUTIES OF THE ADVISER
The Corporation employs the Adviser:

Corporation and each Fund;

administrative and clerical personnel (including officers of the

F. to maintain the Corporation's existence, and during such times as the
shares of the Corporation are publicly offered, maintain the
registration and qualification of the Corporation's shares under
federal and state law;
G. to obtain and evaluate pertinent information about significant
developments, including economic, statistical and financial data,
domestic, foreign or otherwise, whether affecting the economy

individual issuers of the securities included in the Funds or the
activities in which the issuers engage, or whether concerning the
securities that the Adviser considers desirable for inclusion in the
Fund;

owned or held in the Funds and to report thereon to the Board;
I. to formulate and implement a continuous investment program for each
Fund and regularly report thereon to the Board;

securities for the Funds; and
L. to arrange for the periodic preparation, updating, filing and
distribution (as applicable) of the Corporation's state registration
statements.
III. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
A. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ADVISER
The Adviser hereby represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows:
1. Due Incorporation and Organization. The Adviser is duly
----------------------------------
organized and is in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and is fully authorized to enter into this Agreement and
carry out its duties and obligations hereunder.
2. Registration. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser
------------
with the Commission under the Advisers Act, and is registered or
licensed as an investment adviser under the laws of all
jurisdictions in which its activities require it to be so
registered or licensed. The Adviser shall maintain such
registration or license in effect at all times during the term of
this Agreement and will immediately notify the Corporation of the
occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Adviser from
serving as an investment adviser by operation of Section 9(a) of
the 1940 Act or otherwise.
3. Best Efforts. The Adviser at all times shall provide its best
------------
judgment and efforts to the Corporation in carrying out its
obligations hereunder.
4. Code of Ethics. The Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics
--------------
that complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940
Act and will provide the Corporation with a copy of such code of
ethics and all subsequent modifications, together with evidence
of its adoption. At least annually the Adviser will provide the
Corporation with a report describing the implementation of the
code of ethics during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month
period.
-4-
B. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CORPORATION AND THE FUNDS
The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, hereby represent and warrants to
the Adviser as follows:
1. Due Incorporation and Organization. The Corporation has been
----------------------------------
duly incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland and it
is authorized to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its
terms.
2. Registration. The Corporation is registered as an investment
------------
company with the Commission under the 1940 Act and shares of the
Corporation will be registered for offer and sale to the public
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
and all applicable state securities laws. Such registrations
shall be kept in effect during the term of this Agreement.
IV. BROKER-DEALER RELATIONSHIPS
A. FUND TRADES
The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities
for the Funds with brokers and dealers selected by the Adviser, which may, if
approved by the Corporation, include brokers or dealers affiliated with the
Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to obtain the most favorable
price and execution. The Adviser will engage only those brokers or dealers
offering prices and commission rates it believes are reasonable in relation to
the benefits received.
B. SELECTION OF BROKER-DEALERS
In selecting broker-dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction,
brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research
services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the
Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Adviser is
authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research
services, prices and commissions for executing a portfolio transaction for the
Funds that is in excess of the amount of the price and commission another broker
or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser
determines in good faith that such price and commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that
particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Adviser and its
affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment
discretion. The Board shall periodically review the prices and commissions paid
by the Funds to determine if paid
-5-
over representative periods of time they were reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In no instance, however, will any Fund's securities be
purchased from or sold to the Adviser, or any affiliated person of the
Corporation or the Adviser, acting as principal in the transaction, except to
the extent permitted by the Commission and the 1940 Act, and approved by the
corporation.
C. AGGREGATION OF SECURITIES PURCHASES
The Adviser furnishes investment advice to the Funds as well as other
institutional clients, including some investment companies. Some of the
Adviser's other clients have investment objectives and programs similar to those
of a Fund. Accordingly, occasions may arise when sales or purchases of
securities will be consistent with the investment policies of one or more of the
Funds and of other clients of the Adviser. If purchases or sales of securities
for the Corporation or other clients of the Adviser arise for consideration at
or about the same time, the Corporation agrees that the Adviser may make
transactions in such securities, insofar as feasible, for the respective
entities and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all. To the extent that
transactions on behalf of more than one client of the Adviser during the same
period may increase the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of
securities being sold, the Corporation recognizes that there may be an adverse
effect on price, and approved by the Corporation.
It is agreed that, on the occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or
sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Corporation, as well as its
other clients, it may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws or
regulations, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold
or purchases for other clients in order to obtain favorable execution and lower
brokerage commissions or prices. In that event, the allocation of the
securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the
transaction, will be made by the Adviser in the manner it considers to be most
equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Corporation and
to such other accounts. The Corporation recognizes that in some cases this
procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for a Fund.
V. CONTROL BY THE BOARD
Any investment program undertaken by the Adviser pursuant to this
Agreement, as well as any other activities undertaken by the Adviser on behalf
of the Corporation pursuant thereto, shall at all times be subject to any
directives of the Board.
-6-
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS
In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, the Adviser shall
at all times conform to:
A. all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder;
B. the provisions of the registration statement of the Corporation, as
the same may be amended from time to time, under the 1933 Act and
the 1940 Act;
C. the provisions of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as
amended;
D. the provisions of the Bylaws of the Corporation, as amended; and
E. any other applicable provisions of state and federal law.
VII. COMPENSATION
For the services to be rendered by the Adviser pursuant to this
Agreement, the Corporation shall pay to the Adviser, and the Adviser agrees to
accept as full compensation therefor, compensation at the rates specified in
Schedule A, which is attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement. The
Adviser's compensation shall be calculated by applying a daily rate, based on
the annual percentage rates as specified in Schedule A, to the daily net assets
of each Fund and shall be paid to the Adviser monthly. Prior to performing any
services pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser may elect to waive all or a
portion of the compensation that the Adviser would otherwise be entitled to
receive pursuant to this Agreement for performing such services.
No Fund of the Corporation shall be liable for the obligations of any
other Fund of the Corporation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Adviser shall look only to the assets of a particular Fund for payment of
fees for services rendered to that Fund.
In the event of termination of this Agreement, all compensation due
through the date of termination will be calculated on a pro-rated basis through
the date of termination. All rights of compensation under this Agreement for
services performed as of the termination date shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.
VIII. EXPENSES
The expenses in connection with the management of the Funds shall be
allocable between the Corporation and the Adviser or the Administrator as
follows:
-7-
A. EXPENSES OF THE CORPORATION
Except for those expenses agreed to be paid by the Adviser or the
Administrator pursuant to Sections VIII.B. and IX of this Agreement, the
Corporation shall pay all of its expenses including, without limitation, the
following expenses:
1. Compensation to be paid to the Adviser pursuant to this
Agreement;
2. Interest and taxes;
3. Brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the
purchase or sale of securities, commodities, and other
investments for the Corporation, including portions of
commissions that may be paid to reflect brokerage research
services provided to the Adviser;
4. Fees and expenses of its directors (other than those who are
"interested persons" of the Corporation or the Adviser);
5. Fees and expenses of the Corporation's independent public
accountants;
6. Transfer agent, custodian, and dividend disbursement agent fees
and expenses;
7. Fees of dividend, accounting and pricing agents appointed by the
Corporation;
8. Fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification
of the Corporation and its shares for distribution under state
and federal securities laws;
9. All costs attributable to investor services, administering
shareholder accounts and handling shareholder relations
(including, without limitation, telephone and personnel
expenses);
10. Fees and assessments of the Investment Company Institute or any
successor organization or other association memberships approved
by the Board;
11. Expenses of preparing and typesetting prospectuses;
12. Expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses sent to existing
shareholders;
13. All expenses incident to the payment of any dividend,
distribution, or
-8-
redemption, whether in shares of the Fund or in cash;
14. Insurance premiums on property or personnel (including, without
limitation, officers and directors of the Corporation which
inure to its benefit);
15. Such nonrecurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise,
including, without limitation, litigation expenses affecting the
Corporation and any indemnification by the Corporation of its
officers, directors or agents with respect thereto;
16. All costs attributable to periodic shareholder reports
(including, without limitation, annual and semi-annual reports);
17. All costs attributable to proxy solicitations;
18. Attorneys' fees of the Corporation; and
19. Such other expenses that the Board, from time to time,
determines are properly payable by the Corporation.
B. EXPENSES OF THE ADVISER OR THE ADMINISTRATOR
The expenses payable by the Adviser or the Administrator are:
1. The salaries, employment benefits and related costs of those
personnel necessary to perform the Adviser's obligations under
this Agreement;
2. The expense of providing office space, equipment and facilities
for the Corporation; and
3. The fees and expenses of all directors of the Corporation who
are "interested persons" (as defined in the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of the
Corporation or of the Adviser and any salaries and employment
benefits of the officers of the Corporation who are affiliated
persons of the Adviser for acting as officers of the
Corporation.
IX. EXPENSE PAYMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
The Adviser believes that it is in the Adviser's best interests that the
expenses of the Corporation be capped from time to time. Accordingly, the
Adviser agrees to pay expenses related to the operation of the Corporation to
the extent necessary to achieve this goal.
-9-
In addition, if the expenses for any Fund for any fiscal year (including
fees and other amounts payable to the Adviser, but excluding interest, taxes,
brokerage costs, litigation, and other extraordinary costs and certain other
excludable expenses) would exceed the expense limitations imposed on investment
companies by an applicable statute or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction
in which shares of the Corporation are qualified for offer and sale, the Adviser
agrees, unless a waiver is obtained, to reduce its compensation in order to
reduce such excess expenses.
X. REPORTS
The Corporation and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other, as
applicable, current prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders,
certified copies of their financial statements, and such other information with
regard to their affairs as each may reasonably request.
XI. NON-EXCLUSIVITY
The services of the Adviser to the Corporation are not to be deemed
exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar services to others
(including other investment companies) so long as its services to the
Corporation are not impaired thereby. It is understood and agreed that officers
and directors of the Adviser may serve as officers or directors of the
Corporation, and that officers or directors of the Corporation may serve as
officers or directors of the Adviser to the extent permitted by law. The
officers and directors of the Adviser are not prohibited from engaging in any
other business activity or from rendering services to any other person, or from
serving as partners, officers, directors or trustees of any other firm,
corporation or trust, including other investment companies.
XII. CERTAIN RECORDS
The Adviser shall keep and maintain all books and records with respect to
each Fund's investment transactions required by Rule 31a-1 and Rule 2a-7 under
the 1940 Act and shall render to the Board such periodic and special reports as
the Board may reasonably request. The Adviser and other entities providing
services to the Corporation shall maintain for the Corporation any other
information that is required to be filed by the Corporation with the Commission
or sent to shareholders under the 1940 Act (including the rules adopted
thereunder) or any exemptive or other relief that the Adviser or the Corporation
obtains from the Commission. The Adviser agrees that all records that it
maintains on behalf of the Corporation are the property of the Corporation and
the Adviser will surrender promptly to the Corporation any of such records upon
the Corporation's request; provided, however, that the Adviser may retain a copy
of such records.
In addition, for the duration of this Agreement, the Adviser shall
preserve for the
-10-
periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 and Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act any such
records as are required to be maintained by it pursuant to this Agreement, and
shall transfer said records to any successor Adviser upon the termination of
this Agreement (or, if there is no successor Adviser, to the Corporation).
XIII. LIABILITY OF ADVISER AND INDEMNIFICATION
