                         Report of Independent Auditors





The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Principal Variable Contracts Fund, Inc.


In planning and  performing  our audit of the financial  statements of Principal
Variable  Contracts Fund, Inc.  (formerly known as Principal  Aggressive  Growth
Fund, Inc.,  Principal Asset Allocation  Fund,  Inc.,  Principal  Balanced Fund,
Inc.,  Principal Bond Fund, Inc.,  Principal  Capital  Accumulation  Fund, Inc.,
Principal  Emerging Growth Fund,  Inc.,  Principal  Government  Securities Fund,
Inc.,  Principal Growth Fund, Inc.,  Principal High Yield Fund, Inc.,  Principal
Money  Market  Fund,  Inc. and  Principal  World Fund,  Inc.) for the year ended
December  31,  1998,  we  considered  its internal  control,  including  control
activities  for  safeguarding  securities,  in order to  determine  our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements
and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR,  not to provide  assurance on
internal control.

The management of Principal  Variable  Contracts  Fund,  Inc. is responsible for
establishing   and   maintaining    internal   control.   In   fulfilling   this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected  benefits and related costs of controls.  Generally,  controls that are
relevant to an audit  pertain to the entity's  objective of preparing  financial
statements for external  purposes that are fairly  presented in conformity  with
generally   accepted   accounting   principles.   These  controls   include  the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.

Because of inherent  limitations  in internal  control,  errors or  instances of
fraud may occur and not be  detected.  Also,  projection  of any  evaluation  of
internal  control  to future  periods  is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions or that the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation may deteriorate.

Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in  internal   control  that  might  be  material   weaknesses  under  standards
established  by the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more
of the specific internal control  components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that  errors  or  instances  of fraud in  amounts  that  would be
material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not
be  detected  within a timely  period  by  employees  in the  normal  course  of
performing  their assigned  functions.  However,  we noted no matters  involving
internal  control  and  its  operation,   including   control  for  safeguarding
securities,  that we consider to be material  weaknesses  as defined above as of
December 31, 1998.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Board of Directors of Principal Variable Contracts Fund, Inc. and the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  and is not  intended  to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.

                     PRINCIPAL VARIABLE CONTRACTS FUND, INC.


                                    ARTICLE 1

December 31.


                                    ARTICLE 2

determine whether or not an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held. In the
event that an annual meeting of stockholders is held, such meeting shall be held
on the first  Tuesday  after  the first  Monday of April in each year or on such
other day during the 31-day  period  following the first Tuesday after the first
Monday of April as the directors may determine.

         2.03 Special  Meetings.  Special meetings of the stockholders  shall be
held whenever called by the chairman of the board, the president or the board of

to each stockholder of record at his address as it appears on the records of the
Corporation  not  less  than 10 nor more  than 90 days  prior to the date of the
meeting.  Any  meeting at which all  stockholders  entitled  to vote are present
either in person or by proxy or of which those not present have waived notice in
writing shall be a legal meeting for the transaction of business notwithstanding
that notice has not been given as herein provided.

         2.05  Quorum.  Except as  otherwise  expressly  required by law,  these
bylaws or the Articles of  Incorporation,  as from time to time amended,  at any
meeting of the stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of
one-third  of the  shares  of  capital  stock  of  the  Corporation  issued  and
outstanding  and  entitled  to vote,  shall  constitute  a quorum,  but a lesser
interest  may adjourn any meeting  from time to time and the meeting may be held
as adjourned  without further notice.  When a quorum is present at any meeting a
majority of the stock  represented  thereat  shall decide any  question  brought
before such meeting  unless the question is one upon which by express  provision
of law or of these bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation a larger or different
vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern.

         2.06 Proxies and Voting  Stockholders of record may vote at any meeting
either  in person  or by  written  proxy  signed  by the  stockholder  or by the
stockholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact dated not more than eleven months
before the date of  exercise,  which  shall be filed with the  Secretary  of the
meeting before being voted.  Each stockholder  shall be entitled to one vote for
each share of stock held,  and to a fraction  of a vote equal to any  fractional
share held.

         2.07 Stock Ledger.  The Corporation shall maintain at the office of the
stock  transfer  agent of the  Corporation,  or at the  office of any  successor
thereto as stock  transfer  agent of the  Corporation,  an original stock ledger
containing the names and addresses of all  stockholders and the number of shares
of each class held by each stockholder. Such stock ledger may be in written form
or any  other  form  capable  of being  converted  into  written  form  within a
reasonable time for visual inspection.


                                    ARTICLE 3

                               Board of Directors

         3.01 Number,  Service.  The Corporation shall have a Board of Directors
consisting of not less than three and no more than fifteen  members.  The number
of Directors to constitute the whole board within the limits  above-stated shall
be  fixed  by the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Directors  may be  chosen  (i) by
stockholders  at any annual  meeting  of  stockholders  held for the  purpose of
electing  directors  or at any meeting held in lieu  thereof,  or at any special
meeting  called for such  purpose,  or (ii) by the  Directors  at any regular or
special meeting of the Board to fill a vacancy on the Board as provided in these
bylaws and Maryland  General  Corporation  Law. Each director should serve until
the next annual meeting of shareholders  and until a successor is duly qualified
and elected, unless sooner displaced.

         3.02 Powers. The board of directors shall be responsible for the entire
management of the business of the Corporation.  In the management and control of
the property,  business and affairs of the Corporation the board of directors is
hereby vested with all the powers possessed by the Corporation  itself so far as
this designation of authority is not inconsistent  with the laws of the State of
Maryland,  but subject to the  limitations and  qualifications  contained in the
Articles of Incorporation and in these bylaws.

         3.03 Executive  Committee and Other Committees.  The board of directors
may elect from its members an  executive  committee of not less than three which
may exercise  certain  powers of the board of directors when the board is not in
session pursuant to Maryland law. The executive committee may make rules for the
holding and conduct of its meetings and keeping the records  thereof,  and shall
report its action to the board of directors.

                  The board of  directors  may elect from its members such other
committees  from  time to time  as it may  desire.  The  number  composing  such
committees  and the powers  conferred upon them shall be determined by the board
of directors at its own discretion.

         3.04 Meetings.  Regular  meetings of the board of directors may be held
in such places within or without the State of Maryland, and at such times as the
board may from time to time  determine,  and if so determined,  notices  thereof
need not be given. Special meetings of the board of directors may be held at any
time or place  whenever  called by the president or a majority of the directors,
notice thereof being given by the secretary or the  president,  or the directors
calling  the  meeting,  to each  director.  Special  meetings  of the  board  of
directors  may also be held without  formal  notice  provided all  directors are
present or those not present have waived notice thereof.

         3.05 Quorum.  A majority of the members of the board of directors  from
time to time in office  but in no event not less than  one-third  of the  number
constituting  the whole board shall  constitute a quorum for the  transaction of
business  provided,  however,  that  where the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940
requires a different  quorum to  transact  business  of a specific  nature,  the
number of directors so required shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
such business.

                  A lesser  number may  adjourn a meeting  from time to time and
the meeting may be held without further notice.  When a quorum is present at any
meeting a majority of the members  present  thereat  shall  decide any  question
brought before such meeting except as otherwise  expressly  required by law, the
Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws.

         3.06 Action by Directors  Other than at a Meeting.  Any action required
or  permitted  to be taken at any meeting of the Board of  Directors,  or of any
committee thereof,  may be taken without a meeting, if a written consent to such
action is signed by all members of the Board of Directors or such committee,  as
the case  may be,  and such  written  consent  is  filed  with  the  minutes  of
proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

         3.07 Holding of Meetings by Conference  Telephone  Call. At any regular
or special meeting,  members of the Board of Directors or any committee  thereof
may participate by conference telephone or similar  communications  equipment by
means of which all  persons  participating  in the  meeting can hear each other.
Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in
person at such meeting.


                                    ARTICLE 4

                                    Officers

         4.05 The President.  The president shall be the chief executive officer
of the Corporation; he shall have general and active management of the business,
affairs  and  property  of the  Corporation,  and shall see that all  orders and
resolutions of the board of directors are carried into effect.  He shall preside
at meetings of stockholders,  and of the board of directors unless a chairman of
the board has been elected and is present.

         4.06 The Vice Presidents.  The vice presidents shall  respectively have
such powers and  perform  such duties as may be assigned to them by the board of
directors or the president.  In the absence or disability of the president,  the
vice  presidents,  in the  order  determined  by the board of  directors,  shall
perform the duties and exercise the powers of the president.

         4.07 The Secretary.  The secretary  shall keep accurate  minutes of all
meetings  of the  stockholders  and  directors,  and shall  perform  all  duties
commonly  incident to his office and as provided by law and shall  perform  such
other  duties and have such other  powers as the board of  directors  shall from
time to time designate.  In his absence an assistant  secretary or secretary pro
tempore shall perform his duties.

         4.08 The Treasurer.  The treasurer  shall,  subject to the order of the
board of directors and in accordance  with any  arrangements  for performance of
services as custodian, transfer agent or disbursing agent approved by the board,
have the care and custody of the money, funds,  securities,  valuable papers and
documents of the Corporation,  and shall have and exercise under the supervision
of the board of directors all powers and duties commonly  incident to his office
and as  provided  by law.  He shall keep or cause to be kept  accurate  books of
account of the Corporation's transactions which shall be subject at all times to
the inspection and control of the board of directors. He shall deposit all funds
of the  Corporation in such bank or banks,  trust company or trust  companies or
such firm or firms  doing a banking  business  as the board of  directors  shall
designate. In his absence, an assistant treasurer shall perform his duties.


                                    ARTICLE 5

                                    Vacancies

         5.01  Removals.  The  stockholders  may at any  meeting  called for the
purpose,  by vote of the holders of a majority of the capital  stock  issued and
outstanding  and entitled to vote,  remove from office any director and,  unless
the number of directors  constituting the whole board is accordingly  decreased,
elect a successor.  To the extent consistent with the Investment  Company Act of
1940,  the board of  directors  may by vote of not less than a  majority  of the
directors  then in office  remove  from  office any  director,  officer or agent
elected or appointed by them and may for misconduct  remove any thereof  elected
by the stockholders.

         5.02 Vacancies.  If the office of any director  becomes or is vacant by
reason of death,  resignation,  removal,  disqualification,  an  increase in the
authorized number of directors or otherwise, the remaining directors may by vote
of a majority of said directors  choose a successor or successors who shall hold
office for the unexpired term; provided that vacancies on the board of directors
may be so filled only if, after the filling of the same, at least  two-thirds of
the directors then holding  office would be directors  elected to such office by
the  stockholders at a meeting or meetings called for the purpose.  In the event
that at any time less than a majority  of the  directors  were so elected by the
stockholders,  a special meeting of the  stockholders  shall be called forthwith
and held as  promptly  as possible  and in any event  within  sixty days for the
purpose of electing an entire new board of directors.


                                    ARTICLE 6

                              Certificates of Stock

         6.01  Certificates.  The board of  directors  may adopt a policy of not
issuing  certificates  except in  extraordinary  situations as may be authorized
from time to time by an officer of the Corporation. If such a policy is adopted,
a stockholder  may obtain a certificate or  certificates of the capital stock of
the Corporation owned by such stockholder only if the stockholder demonstrates a
specific reason for needing a certificate.  If issued,  the certificate shall be
in such form as shall,  in conformity to law, be prescribed from time to time by
the board of directors. Such certificates shall be signed by the chairman of the
board of directors or the president or a vice  president and by the treasurer or
an assistant  treasurer or the  secretary  or an  assistant  secretary.  If such
certificates  are  countersigned by a transfer agent or registrar other than the
Corporation  or  an  employee  of  the   Corporation,   the  signatures  of  the
aforementioned  officers upon such  certificates  may be facsimile.  In case any
officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile  signature or signatures
have been used on, any such  certificate or certificates  shall cease to be such
officer or officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or
otherwise,  before such  certificate or certificates  have been delivered by the
Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the
Corporation  and be issued and  delivered  as though  the person or persons  who
signed  such  certificate  or  certificates  or  whose  facsimile  signature  or
signatures  have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers
of the Corporation.

         6.02 Replacement of  Certificates.  The board of directors may direct a
new  certificate  or  certificates  to be issued in place of any  certificate or
certificates  theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost or
destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the
board of directors may, in its  discretion  and as a condition  precedent to the
issuance  thereof,  require the owner of such lost or destroyed  certificate  or
certificates, or its legal representative,  to advertise the same in such manner
as it shall require and/or to give the  Corporation a bond in such sum as it may
direct as indemnity  against any claim that may be made against the  Corporation
with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

         6.03 Stockholder  Open Accounts.  The Corporation may maintain or cause
to be maintained for each  stockholder a stockholder open account in which shall
be recorded such stockholder's  ownership of stock and all changes therein,  and
certificates  need not be issued for shares so  recorded in a  stockholder  open
account unless  requested by the  stockholder and such request is approved by an
officer.

         6.04  Transfers.  Transfers of stock for which  certificates  have been
issued will be made only upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent
of the  Corporation of a certificate  for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by
proper  evidence of succession,  assignment or authority to transfer,  whereupon
the Corporation  will issue a new  certificate to the person  entitled  thereto,
cancel the old certificate and record the transaction on its books. Transfers of
stock  evidenced  by open account  authorized  by Section 6.03 will be made upon
delivery  to the  Corporation  or the  transfer  agent  of  the  Corporation  of
instructions for transfer or evidence of assignment or succession,  in each case
executed in such manner and with such supporting  evidence as the Corporation or
transfer agent may reasonably require.

         6.05 Closing  Transfer  Books.  The transfer  books of the stock of the
Corporation  may be closed for such  period (not to exceed 20 days) from time to
time in anticipation of  stockholders'  meetings or the declaration of dividends
as the directors may from time to time determine.

         6.06 Record  Dates.  The board of directors  may fix in advance a date,
not exceeding ninety days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders,  or
the date for the  payment  of any  dividend,  or the date for the  allotment  of
rights,  or the date when any change or  conversion or exchange of capital stock
shall go into effect,  or a date in connection with obtaining any consent or for
any  other  lawful  purpose,  as a  record  date  for the  determination  of the
stockholders  entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such  meeting,  and any
adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend,  or to
any such  allotment of rights,  or to exercise the rights in respect of any such
change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent, and in
such case such  stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders
of record on the date as fixed  shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote
at, such meeting,  and any  adjournment  thereof,  or to receive payment of such
dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, or
to give such consent,  as the case may be,  notwithstanding  any transfer of any
stock on the  books of the  Corporation  after  any such  record  date  fixed as
aforesaid.

         6.07  Registered  Ownership.  The  Corporation  shall  be  entitled  to
recognize the exclusive  right of a person  registered on its books as the owner
of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner and shall not be bound
to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares
on the part of any other  person,  whether or not it shall have express or other
notice  thereof,  except  as  otherwise  provided  by the  laws of the  State of
Maryland.


                                    ARTICLE 7

                                     Notices

         7.01 Manner of Giving. Whenever under the provisions of the statutes or
of the Articles of  Incorporation  or of these  bylaws  notice is required to be
given to any director, committee member, officer or stockholder, it shall not be
construed to mean personal notice,  but such notice may be given, in the case of
stockholders,  in writing,  by mail, by  depositing  the same in a United States
post office or letter  box,  in a postpaid  sealed  wrapper,  addressed  to each
stockholder at such address as it appears on the books of the  Corporation,  or,
in default to other address,  to such  stockholder at the General Post Office in
the  City of  Baltimore,  Maryland,  and,  in the case of  directors,  committee
members  and  officers,  by  telephone,  or by mail or by  telegram  to the last
business  address  known to the  secretary of the  Corporation,  and such notice
shall be deemed to be given at the time  when the same  shall be thus  mailed or
telegraphed or telephoned.

         7.02  Waiver.  Whenever  any notice is  required  to be given under the
provisions  of the  statutes  or of the  Articles of  Incorporation  or of these
bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to
said notice,  whether before or after the time stated  therein,  shall be deemed
equivalent thereto.


                                    ARTICLE 8

                               General Provisions

         8.01 Disbursement of Funds. All checks,  drafts, orders or instructions
for the  payment  of money and all notes of the  Corporation  shall be signed by
such  officer  or  officers  or such  other  person or  persons  as the board of
directors may from time to time designate.

         8.02 Voting of Stock in Other Corporations. Unless otherwise ordered by
the board of  directors,  any officer or, at the  direction of any such officer,
any Manager  shall have full power and  authority  to attend and act and vote at
any meeting of  stockholders  of any  corporation in which this  Corporation may
hold  stock,  at of any such  meeting  may  exercise  any and all the rights and
powers incident to the ownership of such stock.  Any officer of this corporation
or, at the  direction of any such  officer,  any Manager may execute  proxies to
vote  shares  of  stock  of  other  corporations  standing  in the  name of this
Corporation."

         8.03 Execution of  Instruments.  Except as otherwise  provided in these
bylaws,  all  deeds,  mortgages,   bonds,  contracts,  stock  powers  and  other
instruments of transfer, reports and other instruments may be executed on behalf
of the  Corporation  by the  president  or any vice  president  or by any  other
officer or agent authorized to act in such matters, whether by law, the Articles
of Incorporation,  these bylaws, or any general or special  authorization of the
board of directors.  If the corporate  seal is required,  it shall be affixed by
the secretary or an assistant secretary.

         8.04 Seal. The corporate seal shall have inscribed  thereon the name of
the Corporation,  the year of its  incorporation  and the words "Corporate Seal,
Maryland."  The seal may be used by  causing  it or a  facsimile  thereof  to be
impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.


                                    ARTICLE 9

                                   Regulations

         9.01 Investment and Related Matters. The Corporation shall not purchase

then current prospectus and the registration  statement or statements filed with
the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933
and the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  nor shall the  Corporation
invest in  securities  the  purchase  of which would  cause the  Corporation  to
forfeit  its rights to continue  to  publicly  offer its shares  under the laws,
rules or regulations of any state in which it may become  authorized to so offer
its  shares  unless,  by  specific  resolution  of the board of  directors,  the
Corporation shall elect to discontinue the sale of its shares in such state.

         9.02 Other Matters. When used in this section the following words shall
have the following meanings:  "Sponsor" shall mean any one or more corporations,
firms or  associations  which have  distributor's  contracts in effect with this
Corporation. "Manager" shall mean any corporation, firm or association which may
at the time have an investment advisory contract with this Corporation.

                  (a) Limitation  of  Holdings  by this  Corporation  of Certain
Securities and of Dealings with Officers or Directors.  This  Corporation  shall
not purchase or retain  securities of any issuer if those officers and directors
of the Fund or its Manager  owning  beneficially  more than  one-half of one per
cent (0.5%) of the shares or securities of such issuer together own beneficially
more than five per cent (5%) of such shares or securities;  and each officer and
director  of this  Corporation  shall  keep the  treasurer  of this  Corporation
informed  of the  names of all  issuers  (securities  of  which  are held in the
portfolio of this Corporation) in which such officer or director owns as much as
one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the outstanding  shares or securities and
(except in the case of a holding by the treasurer) this Corporation shall not be
charged  with  knowledge of any such  security  holding in the absence of notice
given if as aforesaid if this  Corporation  has requested such  information  not
less often than quarterly.  The  Corporation  will not lend any of its assets to
the  Sponsor or Manager or to any  officer or director of the Sponsor or Manager
or of this  Corporation  and shall not permit any officer or  director,  and any
officer or director  of the Sponsor or Manager,  to deal for or on behalf of the
Corporation   with  himself  as  principal   agent,  or  with  any  partnership,
association  or  corporation  in  which  he has a  financial  interest.  Nothing
contained  herein shall  prevent (1) officers and  directors of the  Corporation
from  buying,  holding  or  selling  shares in the  Corporation,  or from  being
partners,  officers or directors of or otherwise  financially  interested in the
Sponsor or the Manager or any company  controlling  the Sponsor or the  Manager;
(2) employment of legal counsel, registrar,  transfer agent, dividend disbursing
agent or custodian who is, or has a partner shareholder, officer or director who
is, an  officer or  director  of the  Corporation,  if only  customary  fees are
charged for services to the  Corporation;  (3) sharing  statistical and research
expenses and office hire and expenses with any other investment company in which
an officer or director of the Corporation is an officer or director or otherwise
financially interested.

                  (b) Limitation Concerning  Participating by Interested Persons
in  Investment  Decisions.  In any case  where an  officer  or  director  of the
Corporation or of the Manager, or a member of an advisory committee or portfolio
committee  of the  Corporation,  is also an  officer  or a  director  of another
corporation, and the purchase or sale of shares issued by that other corporation
is under  consideration,  the officer or director or committee  member concerned
will  abstain  from  participating  in  any  decision  made  on  behalf  of  the
Corporation to purchase or sell any securities issued by such other corporation.

                  (c) Limitation on Dealing in Securities of this Corporation by
certain  Officers,  Directors,  Sponsor or  Manager.  Neither  the  Sponsor  nor
Manager,  nor any officer or director of this  Corporation  or of the Sponsor or
Manager  shall  take  long or  short  positions  in  securities  issued  by this
Corporation, provided, however, that:

                      (1)  The Sponsor may purchase from this Corporation shares
issued by this  Corporation if the orders to purchase from this  Corporation are
entered  with this  Corporation  by the Sponsor  upon  receipt by the Sponsor of
purchase  orders for shares of this  Corporation  and such  purchases are not in
excess of purchase orders received by the Sponsor.

                      (2)  The  Sponsor  may in the  capacity  of agent for this
Corporation buy securities issued by this Corporation  offered for sale by other
persons.
                      (3)  Any officer or director of this Corporation or of the
Sponsor or Manager or any Company  controlling the Sponsor or Manager may at any
time, or from time to time,  purchase from this  Corporation or from the Sponsor
shares issued by this  Corporation at a price not lower than the net asset value
of the shares,  no such purchase to be in  contravention of any applicable state
or federal requirement.

                  (d) Securities  and  Cash  of this  Corporation  to be held by
Custodian subject to certain Terms and Conditions.

                      (1)  All  securities  and cash  owned by this  Corporation
shall as  hereinafter  provided,  be held by or  deposited  with a bank or trust
company  having  (according  to its last  published  report)  not less  than two
million dollars  ($2,000,000)  aggregate capital,  surplus and undivided profits
(which bank or trust company is hereby designated as "Custodian"), provided such
a Custodian can be found ready and willing to act.

                      (2)  This Corporation  shall enter into a written contract
with  the  Custodian  regarding  the  powers,  duties  and  compensation  of the
Custodian  with respect to the cash and securities of this  Corporation  held by
the Custodian. Said contract and all amendments thereto shall be approved by the
board of directors of this Corporation.

                      (3)  This  Corporation   shall  upon  the  resignation  or
inability  to serve of its  Custodian or upon change of the  Custodian:  (aa) in
case of such resignation or inability to serve, use its best efforts to obtain a
successor Custodian;

                           (bb)     require that the cash and  securities  owned
 by this  Corporation  be delivered directly to the successor Custodian; and

                           (cc)     In the event that no successor Custodian can
be found, submit to the stockholders, before permitting delivery of the cash and
securities  owned by this Corporation  otherwise than to a successor  Custodian,
the  question  whether  or not this  Corporation  shall be  liquidated  or shall
function without a Custodian.

                  (e) Amendment of Investment Advisory Contract.  Any investment
advisory  contract  entered  into by this  Corporation  shall not be  subject to
amendment  except by (1)  affirmative  vote at a  shareholders  meeting,  of the
holders of a majority of the  outstanding  stock of this  Corporation,  or (2) a
majority  of such  Directors  who are not  interested  persons  (as the  term is
defined  in  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940)  of the  Parties  to  such
agreements,  cast in person at a board meeting  called for the purpose of voting
on such amendment.

                  (f) Reports relating to Certain Dividends. Dividends paid from
net  profits  from the sale of  securities  shall be  clearly  revealed  by this
Corporation to its shareholders and the basis of calculation shall be set forth.

                  (g) Maximum Sales  Commission.  The Corporation  shall, in any
distribution contract with respect to its shares of common stock entered into by
it,  provide that the maximum  sales  commission to be charged upon any sales of
such shares shall not be more than nine per cent (9%) of the  offering  price to
the public of such shares. As used herein,  "offering price to the public" shall
mean net asset  value per share  plus the  commission  charged  adjusted  to the
nearest cent.


                                   ARTICLE 10

                       Purchases and Redemption of Shares:
                               Suspension of Sales

         10.01 Purchase by Agreement. The Corporation may purchase its shares by
agreement  with the owner at a price not  exceeding  the net  asset  value  next
computed following the time when the purchase or contract to purchase is made.

         10.02  Redemption.  The  Corporation  shall  redeem  such shares as are
offered by any  stockholder  for redemption  upon the  presentation of a written
request  therefor,  duly executed by the record  owner,  to the office or agency
designated  by  the   Corporation.   If  the   shareholder  has  received  stock
certificates, the request must be accompanied by the certificates, duly endorsed
for transfer,  in acceptable form; and the Corporation will pay therefor the net
asset  value of the  shares  next  effective  following  the  time at which  the
request,  in acceptable  form,  is so  presented.  Payment for said shares shall
ordinarily be made by the Corporation to the stockholder within seven days after
the date on which the shares are presented.

         10.03  Suspension of  Redemption.  The  obligations  set out in Section
10.02 may be  suspended  (i) for any  period  during  which  the New York  Stock
Exchange,  Inc. is closed other than customary week-end and holiday closings, or
during which  trading on the New York Stock  Exchange,  Inc. is  restricted,  as
determined  by  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  or any  successor  thereto;  (ii)  for any  period  during  which an
emergency,  as determined by the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  or any  successor  thereto,  exists  as a result  of which
disposal  by  the  Corporation  of  securities  owned  by it is  not  reasonably
practicable  or as a result of which it is not  reasonably  practicable  for the
Corporation to fairly  determine the value of its net assets;  or (iii) for such
other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor thereto
may by order permit for the protection of security  holders of the  Corporation.
Payment  of the  redemption  or  purchase  price  may be made in cash or, at the
option of the Corporation,  wholly or partly in such portfolio securities of the
Corporation as the Corporation may select.

         10.04  Suspension  of  Sales.  The  Corporation  reserves  the right to
suspend  sales of its shares if, in the judgment of the majority of the board of
directors  or a  majority  of the  executive  committee  of its  Board,  if such
committee  exists,  it is in the best interest of the Corporation to do so, such
suspension to continue for such period as may be determined by such majority.

         10.05 Sales only to Eligible  Purchasers.  Only Eligible Purchasers may
purchase shares directly from the Corporation.  Eligible  purchasers are limited
to (a) separate  accounts of Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company or of other

subsidiary or affiliate thereof; (c) trustees or other managers of any qualified
profit  sharing,  incentive or bonus plan  established by Principal  Mutual Life
Insurance  Company or any  subsidiary or affiliate  thereof for the employees of
such company, subsidiary or affiliate.

         11.01 The board of directors  may authorize the issue from time to time
of shares of the capital stock of the  Corporation in fractional  denominations,
provided  that the  transactions  in which and the terms  upon  which  shares in
fractional  denominations  may be issued may from time to time be determined and
limited by or under authority of the board of directors.


                                   ARTICLE 12

                                 Indemnification

         12.01  (a)   Every person who is or was a director,  officer or 
employee of this  Corporation or of any other corporation which he served at the
request of this Corporation and in which this Corporation  owns or owned  shares
of  capital  stock or of which  it is or was a  creditor  shall  have a right to
be indemnified  by this  Corporation  against all liability and reasonable  
expenses  incurred by him in connection  with or  resulting  from a claim,  
action,  suit or  proceeding  in  which he may  become involved  as a party or  
otherwise  by  reason of his being or having  been a  director,  officer  or
employee of this  Corporation or such other  corporation,  provided (1) said 
claim,  action,  suit or proceeding  shall be  prosecuted to a final  
determination  and he shall be vindicated on the merits, or (2) in the  absence 
of such a final  determination  vindicating  him on the  merits,  the board of
directors  shall  determine  that he acted  in good  faith  and in a  manner  he
reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Corporation in the case of
conduct in the  director's  official  capacity with the  Corporation  and in all
other cases,  that the conduct was at least not opposed to the best  interest of
the Corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;  said  determination to be
made by the  board  of  directors  acting  through  a  quorum  of  disinterested
directors, or in its absence on the opinion of counsel.

                  (b) For purposes of the preceding  subsection:  (1) "liability
and reasonable  expenses" shall include but not be limited to reasonable counsel
fees and disbursements, amounts of any judgment, fine or penalty, and reasonable
amounts  paid in  settlement;  (2) "claim,  action,  suit or  proceeding"  shall
include every such claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
derivative or otherwise,  administrative,  judicial or  legislative,  any appeal
relating  thereto,  and shall include any reasonable  apprehension  or threat of
such a claim, action, suit or proceeding;  (3) the termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement,  conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent  creates a rebuttable  presumption that the director did not meet
the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (a)(2), supra.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the following  limitations
shall  apply with  respect to any action by or in the right of the  Corporation:
(1) no indemnification  shall be made in respect of claim, issue or matter as to
which the person seeking  indemnification  shall have been adjudged to be liable
for negligence or misconduct in the  performance of his duty to the  Corporation
unless  and only to the  extent  that  the  Court of  Chancery  of the  State of
Maryland or the court in which such action or suit was brought  shall  determine
upon  application  that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to
indemnity  for such  expenses  which the Court of  Chancery  or such other court
shall deem  proper;  and (2)  indemnification  shall  extend only to  reasonable
expenses, including reasonable counsel's fees and disbursements.

                  (d) The right of  indemnification  shall  extend to any person
otherwise  entitled to it under this bylaw whether or not that person  continues
to be a  director,  officer  or  employee  of this  Corporation  or  such  other
corporation at the time such  liability or expense shall be incurred.  The right
of  indemnification  shall extend to the legal  representative  and heirs of any
person otherwise entitled to indemnification. If a person meets the requirements
of this  bylaw  with  respect  to some  matters  in a  claim,  action  suit,  or
proceeding,   but  not  with  respect  to  others,   he  shall  be  entitled  to
indemnification as to the former. Advances against liability and expenses may be
made by the  Corporation on terms fixed by the board of directors  subject to an
obligation to repay if indemnification proves unwarranted.

                  (e) This  bylaw  shall  not   exclude  any  other   rights  of
indemnification  or other rights to which any director,  officer or employee may
be entitled to by contract,  vote of the  stockholders or as a matter of law. If
any clause,  provision or  application of this section shall be determined to be
invalid, the other clauses, provisions or applications of this section shall not
be affected but shall remain in full force and effect.  The  provisions  of this
bylaw shall be  applicable  to claims,  actions,  suits or  proceedings  made or
commenced after the adoption  hereof,  whether arising from acts or omissions to
act occurring before or after the adoption hereof.

                  (f) Nothing  contained  in this bylaw  shall be  construed  to
protect any director or officer of the Corporation  against any liability to the
Corporation  or its security  holders to which he would  otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.


                                   ARTICLE 13

                                   Amendments

         13.01 These  bylaws may be amended or added to,  altered or repealed at
any annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock issued and  outstanding and
entitled  to vote,  provided  notice  of the  general  purport  of the  proposed
amendment,  addition,  alteration  or  repeal  is  given in the  notice  of said
meeting,  or, at any meeting of the board of  directors by vote of a majority of
the directors  then in office,  except that the board of directors may not amend
Article 5 to permit removal by said board without cause of any director  elected
by the stockholders.
