REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of Scudder Global Fund, Inc., and to the
Shareholders of Scudder Global Discovery Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements and
financial highlights of Scudder Global Discovery Fund for the year ended October
31, 1997, we considered its internal control, including controls over
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and financial
highlights and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on internal control.
The management of Scudder Global Discovery Fund 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 and financial highlights for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those
controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or
irregularities 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 any
specific internal control component does not reduce to a relatively low level
the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements and financial highlights 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, including controls over safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
of Scudder Global Discovery Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as amended from
time-to-time (the "Articles"), the Board of Directors has divided the
Corporation's shares of capital stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the "Shares")

established, from time to time by action of the Directors.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has selected you to act as the
sole investment manager of the Fund and to provide certain other services, as
more fully set forth below, and you have indicated that you are willing to act
as such investment manager and to perform such services under the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth. Accordingly, the Corporation on behalf of the
Fund agrees with you as follows:

with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions specified in the
currently effective Prospectus (the "Prospectus") and Statement of Additional
Information (the "SAI") relating to the Fund included in the Corporation's

Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") and the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Copies of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence have been

properly certified or authenticated, of all amendments of or supplements, if
any, to the foregoing, including the Prospectus, the SAI and the Registration
Statement.
2. Sublicense to Use the Scudder Trademarks. As exclusive licensee of
the rights to use and sublicense the use of the "Scudder," "Scudder Kemper

the "Scudder Marks"), you hereby grant the Corporation a nonexclusive right and
sublicense to use (i) the "Scudder" name and mark as part of the Corporation's
name (the "Fund Name"), and (ii) the Scudder Marks in connection with the
Corporation's investment products and services, in each case only for so long as
this Agreement, any other investment management agreement between you (or any
organization which shall have succeeded to your business as investment manager
("your Successor")) and the Corporation, or any extension, renewal or amendment
hereof or thereof remains in effect, and only for so long as you are a licensee
of the Scudder Marks, provided however, that you agree to use your best efforts
to maintain your license to use and sublicense the Scudder Marks. The
Corporation agrees that it shall have no right to sublicense or assign rights to
use the Scudder Marks, shall acquire no interest in the Scudder Marks other than
the rights granted herein, that all of the Corporation's uses of the Scudder
Marks shall inure to the benefit of Scudder Trust Company as owner and licensor

challenge the validity of the Scudder Marks or the Trademark Owner's ownership
thereof. The Corporation further agrees that all services and products it offers
in connection with the Scudder Marks shall meet commercially reasonable
standards of quality, as may be determined by you or the Trademark Owner from
time to time, provided that you acknowledge that the services and products the

6. Management Fee. For all services to be rendered, payments to be made
and costs to be assumed by you as provided in sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof, the
Corporation on behalf of the Fund shall pay you in United States Dollars on the
last day of each month the unpaid balance of a fee equal to the excess of 1/12
of 1.1% percent of the average daily net assets as defined below of the Fund for
such month over any compensation waived by you from time to time (as more fully
described below). You shall be entitled to receive during any month such interim
payments of your fee hereunder as you shall request, provided that no such
payment shall exceed 75 percent of the amount of your fee then accrued on the
books of the Fund and unpaid.
The "average daily net assets" of the Fund shall mean the average of
the values placed on the Fund's net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on
each day on which the net asset value of the Fund is determined consistent with
the provisions of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully
determines the value of its net assets as of some other time on each business
day, as of such time. The value of the net assets of the Fund shall always be
determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Articles and the
Registration Statement. If the determination of net asset value does not take
place for any particular day, then for the purposes of this section 6, the value
of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value
of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of such other time as
the value of the net assets of the Fund's portfolio may be lawfully determined
on that day. If the Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio
more than once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that day
shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the
purposes of this section 6.
You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided for hereunder and
such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in purchase price of your services.
You shall be contractually bound hereunder by the terms of any publicly
announced waiver of your fee, or any limitation of the Fund's expenses, as if
such waiver or limitation were fully set forth herein.
7. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive. In
connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and other investments
for the account of the Fund, neither you nor any of your directors, officers or
employees shall act as a principal or agent or receive any commission. You or
your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale
of portfolio securities and other investments for the Fund's account with
brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance with Fund policies as expressed
in the Registration Statement. If any occasion should arise in which you give
any advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act
solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of
the Fund.
Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be
deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may render investment
advice, management and services to others. In acting under this Agreement, you
shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of the Corporation. Whenever
the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies advised by the
Manager have available funds for investment, investments suitable and
appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with procedures believed
by the Manager to be equitable to each entity. Similarly, opportunities to sell
securities shall be allocated in a manner believed by the Manager to be
equitable. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely
affect the size of the position that may be acquired or disposed of for the
Fund.

8. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to your
undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation
agrees that you shall not be liable under this Agreement for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection
with the matters to which this Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any
liability to the Corporation, the Fund or its shareholders to which you would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of your duties, or by reason of your reckless
disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder. Any person, even though also
employed by you, who may be or become an employee of and paid by the Fund shall
be deemed, when acting within the scope of his or her employment by the Fund, to
be acting in such employment solely for the Fund and not as your employee or
agent.
9. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This Agreement shall
remain in force until September 30, 1998, and continue in force from year to
year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved
at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the Directors who are not
parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any party to this Agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval,
and (b) by the Directors of the Corporation, or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The aforesaid requirement that
continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall
be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time,
without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund or by the Corporation's Board of Directors on 60
days' written notice to you, or by you on 60 days' written notice to the
Corporation. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.
10. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be
effective until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and rules and
regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.
11. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the
provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the definitions
contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly the definitions of
"affiliated person," "assignment" and "majority of the outstanding voting
securities"), as from time to time amended, shall be applied, subject, however,
to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or
order.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Maryland, provided that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner
inconsistent with the 1940 Act, or in a manner which would cause the Fund to
fail to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

of .75 of 1 percent of the average daily net assets as defined below of the Fund
for such month; provided that, for any calendar month during which the average
of such values exceeds $1 billion, the fee payable for that month based on the
portion of the average of such values in excess of $1 billion shall be 1/12 of
.70 of 1 percent of such portion over any compensation waived by you from time
to time (as more fully described below). You shall be entitled to receive during
any month such interim payments of your fee hereunder as you shall request,
provided that no such payment shall exceed 75 percent of the amount of your fee
then accrued on the books of the Fund and unpaid.
The "average daily net assets" of the Fund shall mean the average of
the values placed on the Fund's net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on
each day on which the net asset value of the Fund is determined consistent with
the provisions of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully
determines the value of its net assets as of some other time on each business
day, as of such time. The value of the net assets of the Fund shall always be
determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Articles and the
Registration Statement. If the determination of net asset value does not take
place for any particular day, then for the purposes of this section 6, the value
of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value
of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of such other time as
the value of the net assets of the Fund's portfolio may be lawfully determined
on that day. If the Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio
more than once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that day
shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the
purposes of this section 6.
You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided for hereunder and
such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in purchase price of your services.
You shall be contractually bound hereunder by the terms of any publicly
announced waiver of your fee, or any limitation of the Fund's expenses, as if
such waiver or limitation were fully set forth herein.
7. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive. In
connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and other investments
for the account of the Fund, neither you nor any of your directors, officers or
employees shall act as a principal or agent or receive any commission. You or
your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale
of portfolio securities and other investments for the Fund's account with
brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance with Fund policies as expressed
in the Registration Statement. If any occasion should arise in which you give
any advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act
solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of
the Fund.
Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be
deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may render investment
advice, management and services to others. In acting under this Agreement, you
shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of the Corporation. Whenever
the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies advised by the
Manager have available funds for investment, investments suitable and
appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with procedures believed
by the Manager to be equitable to each entity. Similarly, opportunities to sell
securities shall be allocated in a manner believed by the Manager to be
equitable. The Fund recognizes that in some
5
<PAGE>
cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that may be
acquired or disposed of for the Fund.
8. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to your
undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation
agrees that you shall not be liable under this Agreement for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection
with the matters to which this Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any
liability to the Corporation, the Fund or its shareholders to which you would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of your duties, or by reason of your reckless
disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder. Any person, even though also
employed by you, who may be or become an employee of and paid by the Fund shall
be deemed, when acting within the scope of his or her employment by the Fund, to
be acting in such employment solely for the Fund and not as your employee or
agent.
9. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This Agreement shall
remain in force until September 30, 1998, and continue in force from year to
year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved
at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the Directors who are not
parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any party to this Agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval,
and (b) by the Directors of the Corporation, or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The aforesaid requirement that
continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall
be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time,
without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund or by the Corporation's Board of Directors on 60
days' written notice to you, or by you on 60 days' written notice to the
Corporation. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.
10. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be
effective until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and rules and
regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.
11. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the
provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the definitions
contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly the definitions of
"affiliated person," "assignment" and "majority of the outstanding voting
securities"), as from time to time amended, shall be applied, subject, however,
to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or
order.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Maryland, provided that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner

This Agreement shall supersede all prior investment advisory or
management agreements entered into between you and the Corporation on behalf of
the Fund.
If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please execute the form of
acceptance on the accompanying counterpart of this letter and return such

Investment Management Agreement
Scudder Emerging Markets Income Fund
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Scudder Global Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation") has been established as a
Maryland corporation to engage in the business of an investment company.
Pursuant to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as amended from
time-to-time (the "Articles"), the Board of Directors has divided the
Corporation's shares of capital stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the "Shares")
into separate series, or funds, including Scudder Emerging Markets Income Fund
(the "Fund"). Series may be abolished and dissolved, and additional series
established, from time to time by action of the Directors.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has selected you to act as the
sole investment manager of the Fund and to provide certain other services, as
more fully set forth below, and you have indicated that you are willing to act
as such investment manager and to perform such services under the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth. Accordingly, the Corporation on behalf of the
Fund agrees with you as follows:
1. Delivery of Documents. The Corporation engages in the business of
investing and reinvesting the assets of the Fund in the manner and in accordance
with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions specified in the
currently effective Prospectus (the "Prospectus") and Statement of Additional
Information (the "SAI") relating to the Fund included in the Corporation's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as amended from time to time, (the
"Registration Statement") filed by the Corporation under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") and the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Copies of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence have been
furnished to you by the Corporation. The Corporation has also furnished you with
copies properly certified or authenticated of each of the following additional
documents related to the Corporation and the Fund:
(a) The Articles dated December 27, 1990, as amended to date.
(b) By-Laws of the Corporation as in effect on the date hereof (the "By-Laws").
(c) Resolutions of the Directors of the Corporation and the shareholders of the
Fund selecting you as investment manager and approving the form of this
Agreement.
<PAGE>
The Corporation will furnish you from time to time with copies,
properly certified or authenticated, of all amendments of or supplements, if
any, to the foregoing, including the Prospectus, the SAI and the Registration
Statement.
2. Sublicense to Use the Scudder Trademarks. As exclusive licensee of
the rights to use and sublicense the use of the "Scudder," "Scudder Kemper
Investments, Inc." and "Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc." trademarks (together,
the "Scudder Marks"), you hereby grant the Corporation a nonexclusive right and
sublicense to use (i) the "Scudder" name and mark as part of the Corporation's
name (the "Fund Name"), and (ii) the Scudder Marks in connection with the
Corporation's investment products and services, in each case only for so long as
this Agreement, any other investment management agreement between you (or any
organization which shall have succeeded to your business as investment manager
("your Successor")) and the Corporation, or any extension, renewal or amendment
hereof or thereof remains in effect, and only for so long as you are a licensee
of the Scudder Marks, provided however, that you agree to use your best efforts
to maintain your license to use and sublicense the Scudder Marks. The
Corporation agrees that it shall have no right to sublicense or assign rights to
use the Scudder Marks, shall acquire no interest in the Scudder Marks other than
the rights granted herein, that all of the Corporation's uses of the Scudder
Marks shall inure to the benefit of Scudder Trust Company as owner and licensor
of the Scudder Marks (the "Trademark Owner"), and that the Corporation shall not
challenge the validity of the Scudder Marks or the Trademark Owner's ownership
thereof. The Corporation further agrees that all services and products it offers
in connection with the Scudder Marks shall meet commercially reasonable
standards of quality, as may be determined by you or the Trademark Owner from
time to time, provided that you acknowledge that the services and products the
Corporation rendered during the one-year period preceding the date of this
Agreement are acceptable. At your reasonable request, the Corporation shall
cooperate with you and the Trademark Owner and shall execute and deliver any and
all documents necessary to maintain and protect (including but not limited to in
connection with any trademark infringement action) the Scudder Marks and/or
enter the Corporation as a registered user thereof. At such time as this
Agreement or any other investment management agreement shall no longer be in
effect between you (or your Successor) and the Corporation, or you no longer are
a licensee of the Scudder Marks, the Corporation shall (to the extent that, and
as soon as, it lawfully can) cease to use the Fund Name or any other name
indicating that it is advised by, managed by or otherwise connected with you (or
your Successor) or the Trademark Owner. In no event shall the Corporation use
the Scudder Marks or any other name or mark confusingly similar thereto
(including, but not limited to, any name or mark that includes the name
"Scudder") if this Agreement or any other investment advisory agreement between
you (or your Successor) and the Fund is terminated.
3. Portfolio Management Services. As manager of the assets of the Fund,
you shall provide continuing investment management of the assets of the Fund in
accordance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions set forth

investment companies and all rules and regulations thereunder; and all other
applicable federal and state laws and regulations of which you have knowledge;
subject always to policies and instructions adopted by the Corporation's Board
of Directors. In connection therewith, you shall use reasonable efforts to
manage the Fund so that it will qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code and regulations issued thereunder. The Fund shall have
the benefit of the investment analysis and research, the review of current
economic conditions and trends and the consideration of long-range investment
policy generally available to your investment advisory clients. In managing the
Fund in accordance with the requirements set forth in this section 3, you shall
be entitled to receive and act upon advice of counsel to the Corporation or
counsel to you. You shall also make available to the Corporation promptly upon
request all of the Fund's investment records and ledgers as are necessary to

currencies, repurchase agreements, futures, options and other contracts relating
to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund and place
orders with broker-dealers, foreign currency dealers, futures commission
merchants or others pursuant to your determinations and all in accordance with
Fund policies as expressed in the Registration Statement. You shall determine
what portion of the Fund's portfolio shall be invested in securities and other
assets and what portion, if any, should be held uninvested.
You shall furnish to the Corporation's Board of Directors periodic
reports on the investment performance of the Fund and on the performance of your
obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and you shall supply such additional
reports and information as the Corporation's officers or Board of Directors
shall reasonably request.

and costs to be assumed by you as provided in sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof, the
Corporation on behalf of the Fund shall pay you in United States Dollars on the
last day of each month the unpaid balance of a fee equal to the excess of 1/12
of 1 percent of the average daily net assets as defined below of the Fund for
such month over any compensation waived by you from time to time (as more fully
described below). You shall be entitled to receive during any month such interim
payments of your fee hereunder as you shall request, provided that no such

determines the value of its net assets as of some other time on each business
day, as of such time. The value of the net assets of the Fund shall always be
determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Articles and the
Registration Statement. If the determination of net asset value does not take
place for any particular day, then for the purposes of this section 6, the value
of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value
of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of such other time as
the value of the net assets of the Fund's portfolio may be lawfully determined
on that day. If the Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio
more than once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that day
shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the
purposes of this section 6.
You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided for hereunder and
such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in purchase price of your services.
You shall be contractually bound hereunder by the terms of any publicly
announced waiver of your fee, or any limitation of the Fund's expenses, as if
such waiver or limitation were fully set forth herein.
7. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive. In
connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and other investments
for the account of the Fund, neither you nor any of your directors, officers or
employees shall act as a principal or agent or receive any commission. You or
your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale
of portfolio securities and other investments for the Fund's account with
brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance with Fund policies as expressed
in the Registration Statement. If any occasion should arise in which you give
any advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act
solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of
the Fund.
Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be
deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may render investment
advice, management and services to others. In acting under this Agreement, you
shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of the Corporation. Whenever
the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies advised by the
Manager have available funds for investment, investments suitable and
appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with procedures believed
by the Manager to be equitable to each entity. Similarly, opportunities to sell
securities shall be allocated in a manner believed by the Manager to be
equitable. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely
affect the size of the position that may be acquired or disposed of for the
Fund.

8. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to your
undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation
agrees that you shall not be liable under this Agreement for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection
with the matters to which this Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any
liability to the Corporation, the Fund or its shareholders to which you would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of your duties, or by reason of your reckless
disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder. Any person, even though also
employed by you, who may be or become an employee of and paid by the Fund shall
be deemed, when acting within the scope of his or her employment by the Fund, to
be acting in such employment solely for the Fund and not as your employee or
agent.
9. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This Agreement shall
remain in force until September 30, 1998, and continue in force from year to
year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved
at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the Directors who are not
parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any party to this Agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval,
and (b) by the Directors of the Corporation, or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The aforesaid requirement that
continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall
be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time,
without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund or by the Corporation's Board of Directors on 60
days' written notice to you, or by you on 60 days' written notice to the
Corporation. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.

changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be

In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the definitions
contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly the definitions of

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
