from time-to-time (the "Articles"), the Board of Directors has divided the
Corporation's shares of capital stock, par value $.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:
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

(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.

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

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

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.

you shall provide continuing investment management of the assets of the Fund in
accordance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions set forth
in the Prospectus and SAI; the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") relating to regulated
investment companies and all rules and regulations thereunder; and all other

economic conditions and trends and the consideration of long-range investment

counsel to you. You shall also make available to the Corporation promptly upon

committees thereof or advisors thereto held outside of Boston, Massachusetts or
New York, New York.
You shall not be required to pay expenses of any activity which is
primarily intended to result in sales of Shares of the Fund if and to the extent
that (i) such expenses are required to be borne by a principal underwriter which
acts as the distributor of the Fund's Shares pursuant to an underwriting
agreement which provides that the underwriter shall assume some or all of such
expenses, or (ii) the Corporation on behalf of the Fund shall have adopted a
plan in conformity with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act providing that the Fund
(or some other party) shall assume some or all of such expenses. You shall be
required to pay such of the foregoing sales expenses as are not required to be
paid by the
4
<PAGE>
principal underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement or are not
permitted to be paid by the Fund (or some other party) pursuant to such a plan.
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 1.00 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.
5
<PAGE>
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, 1999, 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.
6
<PAGE>
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.
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
counterpart to the Corporation, whereupon this letter shall become a binding
contract effective as of the date of this Agreement.

Corporation, subject to their individual consent to serve and to any limitations
imposed by law. You shall provide at your expense the portfolio management
services described in section 3 hereof and the administrative services described

You shall not be required to pay any expenses of the Fund other than
those specifically allocated to you in this section 5. In particular, but

except to the extent of the reasonable compensation of such of the Fund's
Directors and officers as are directors, officers or employees of you whose

officers or employees of you to the extent that such expenses relate to
attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any
committees thereof or advisors thereto held outside of Boston, Massachusetts or
New York, New York.
You shall not be required to pay expenses of any activity which is
primarily intended to result in sales of Shares of the Fund if and to the extent
that (i) such expenses are required to be borne by a principal underwriter which
acts as the distributor of the Fund's Shares pursuant to an underwriting
agreement which provides that the underwriter shall assume some or all of such
expenses, or (ii) the Corporation on behalf of the Fund shall have adopted a
plan in conformity with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act providing that the Fund
(or some other party) shall assume some or all of such expenses. You shall be
required to pay such of the foregoing sales expenses as are not required to be
paid by the
4
<PAGE>
principal underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement or are not
permitted to be paid by the Fund (or some other party) pursuant to such a plan.
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 1.00 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.
5
<PAGE>
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, 1999, 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.

<PAGE>
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.
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
counterpart to the Corporation, whereupon this letter shall become a binding
contract effective as of the date of this Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement
----------------------
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Scudder International Fund, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Fund") is a
Corporation organized under the laws of Maryland and is engaged in the business
of an investment company. The authorized capital of the Fund consists of shares
of capital stock, with par value of $0.01 per share ("Shares"), currently
divided into eight active series (each a "Series"). The Series and, if
applicable, the classes thereof to which this Agreement applies are included
under Schedule A. Shares may be divided into additional Series of the Fund and
the Series may be terminated from time to time. The Fund has selected you to act
as principal underwriter (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(29) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the Shares and
you are willing to act as such principal underwriter and to perform the duties
and functions of underwriter in the manner and on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. Accordingly, the Fund hereby agrees with you as follows:
1. Delivery of Documents. The Fund has furnished you with copies
properly certified or authenticated of each of the following:
(a) Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Fund, dated
February 21, 1991, as amended to date.
(b) By-Laws of the Fund as in effect on the date hereof.
<PAGE>
(c) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Fund selecting
you as principal underwriter and approving this form of
Agreement.
The Fund will furnish you from time to time with copies, properly
certified or authenticated, of all amendments of or supplements to the
foregoing, if any.
The Fund will furnish you promptly with properly certified or
authenticated copies of any registration statement filed by it with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
(the "1933 Act") or the 1940 Act, together with any financial statements and
exhibits included therein, and all amendments or supplements thereto hereafter
filed.
2. Registration and Sale of Additional Shares. The Fund will from time
to time use its best efforts to register under the 1933 Act such number of
Shares not already so registered as you may reasonably be expected to sell on
behalf of the Fund. You and the Fund will cooperate in taking such action as may
be necessary from time to time to comply with requirements applicable to the
sale of Shares by you or the Fund in any states mutually agreeable to you and
the Fund, and to maintain such compliance. This Agreement relates to the issue
and sale of Shares that are duly authorized and registered under the 1933 Act
and available for sale by the Fund, including redeemed or repurchased Shares if
and to the extent that they may be legally sold and if, but only if, the Fund
sees fit to sell them.
3. Sale of Shares. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 5 and 7
hereof and to such minimum purchase requirements as may from time to time be
currently indicated in the Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information, you are authorized to sell as agent on behalf of the Fund Shares
authorized for issue and registered under the 1933 Act. You may also purchase as
principal Shares for resale to the public. Such sales will be made by you on
behalf of the Fund by accepting unconditional orders to purchase Shares placed
with you by investors and such purchases will be made by you only after
acceptance by you of such orders. The sales price to the public of Shares shall
be the public offering price as defined in paragraph 6 hereof.
4. Solicitation of Orders. You will use your best efforts (but only in
states in which you may lawfully do so) to obtain from investors unconditional
orders for Shares authorized for issue by
2
<PAGE>
the Funds and registered under the 1933 Act, provided that you may in your
discretion refuse to accept orders for Shares from any particular applicant.
5. Sale of Shares by the Fund. Unless you are otherwise notified by the
Fund, any right granted to you to accept orders for Shares or to make sales on
behalf of the Fund or to purchase Shares for resale will not apply to (i) Shares
issued in connection with the merger or consolidation of any other investment
company with the Fund or its acquisition, by purchase or otherwise, of all or
substantially all of the assets of any investment company or substantially all
the outstanding shares of any such company, and (ii) to Shares that may be
offered by the Fund to shareholders of the Fund by virtue of their being such
shareholders.
6. Public Offering Price. All Shares sold to investors by you will be
sold at the public offering price. The public offering price for all accepted
subscriptions will be the net asset value per Share, determined, in the manner
provided in the Fund's registration statements as from time to time in effect
under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act, next after the order is accepted by you.
7. Suspension of Sales. If and whenever the determination of net asset
value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no further orders
for Shares shall be accepted by you except unconditional orders placed with you
before you had knowledge of the suspension. In addition, the Fund reserves the
right to suspend sales and your authority to accept orders for Shares on behalf
of the Fund if, in the judgment of a majority of the Board of Directors or a
majority of the Executive Committee of such Board, if such body exists, it is in
the best interests of the Fund to do so, such suspension to continue for such
period as may be determined by such majority; and in that event, no Shares will
be sold by you on behalf of the Fund while such suspension remains in effect
except for Shares necessary to cover unconditional orders accepted by you before
you had knowledge of the suspension.
8. Portfolio Securities. Portfolio securities of any Series of the Fund
may be bought or sold by or through you and you may participate directly or
indirectly in brokerage commissions or "spread" in respect of transactions in
portfolio securities of any Series of the Fund; provided, however, that all sums
of money received by you as a result of such purchases and sales or as a result
3
<PAGE>
of such participation must, after reimbursement of your actual expenses in
connection with such activity, be paid over by you to or for the benefit of the
Fund.
9. Expenses. (a) The Fund will pay (or will enter into arrangements
providing that others than you will pay) all fees and expenses:

allocated pursuant to reasonable procedures or formulae mutually agreed upon
from time to time, which procedures or formulae shall to the extent practicable
reflect studies of relevant empirical data.
10. Conformity with Law. You agree that in selling Shares you will duly
conform in all respects with the laws of the United States and any state in
which Shares may be offered for sale by you pursuant to this Agreement and to
the rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., of which you are a member.
11. Independent Contractor. You shall be an independent contractor and
neither you nor any of your officers or employees is or shall be an employee of

6
<PAGE>
duties hereunder. You shall be responsible for your own conduct and the
employment, control and conduct of your agents and employees and for injury to
such agents or employees or to others through your agents or employees. You
assume full responsibility for your agents and employees under applicable
statutes and agree to pay all employee taxes thereunder.
12. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund
and each of its Director and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including legal and other
expenses) to which the Fund or such Directors, officers, or controlling person
may become subject under such Act, under any other statute, at common law or
otherwise, arising out of the acquisition of any Shares by any person which (i)
may be based upon any wrongful act by you or any of your employees or
representatives, or (ii) may be based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement
(including a prospectus or statement of additional information) covering Shares
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statement therein not misleading if such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Fund by you, or
(iii) may be incurred or arise by reason of your acting as the Fund's agent
instead of purchasing and reselling Shares as principal in distributing the
Shares to the public, provided, however, that in no case (i) is your indemnity
in favor of a Director or officer or any other person deemed to protect such
Director or officer or other person against any liability to which any such
person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance of his duties or by reason of his
reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or (ii) are
you to be liable under your indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with
respect to any claim made against the Fund or any person indemnified unless the
Fund or such person, as the case may be, shall have notified you in writing
within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claims shall have been served upon the Fund or
upon such person (or after the Fund or such person shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent), but
7
<PAGE>
failure to notify you of any such claim shall not relieve you from any liability
which you may have to the Fund or any person against whom such action is brought
otherwise than on account of your indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph. You shall be entitled to participate, at your own expense, in the
defense, or, if you so elect, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any such liability, but if you elect to assume the defense, such defense
shall be conducted by counsel chosen by you and satisfactory to the Fund, to its
officers and Directors, or to any controlling person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit. In the event that you elect to assume the defense of any
such suit and retain such counsel, the Fund, such officers and Directors or
controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit shall bear
the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them, but, in case
you do not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, you will reimburse the
Fund, such officers and Directors or controlling person or persons, defendant or
defendants in such suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel
retained by them. You agree promptly to notify the Fund of the commencement of
any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and sale
of any Shares.
The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each of your
directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls you within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which
you or such directors, officers or controlling person may become subject under
such Act, under any other statute, at common law or otherwise, arising out of
the acquisition of any Shares by any person which (i) may be based upon any
wrongful act by the Fund or any of its employees or representatives, or (ii) may
be based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in a registration statement (including a prospectus or statement
of additional information) covering Shares or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon
information furnished to you by the Fund; provided, however, that in no case (i)
is the Fund's indemnity in favor of you, a director or officer or any other
person deemed to protect you, such
8
<PAGE>
director or officer or other person against any liability to which any such
person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance of his duties or by reason of his
reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or (ii) is the
Fund to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with
respect to any claims made against you or any such director, officer or
controlling person unless you or such director, officer or controlling person,
as the case may be, shall have notified the Fund in writing within a reasonable
time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the
nature of the claim shall have been served upon you or upon such director,
officer or controlling person (or after you or such director, officer or
controlling person shall have received notice of such service on any designated
agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any such claim shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to the person against whom such action is
brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph. The Fund will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the
defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any such liability, but if the Fund elects to assume the defense, such
defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to you, your
directors, officers, or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants
in the suit. In the event that the Fund elects to assume the defense of any such
suit and retain such counsel, you, your directors, officers or controlling
person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by them, but, in case the Fund does
not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, it will reimburse you or such
directors, officers or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in
the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them.
The Fund agrees promptly to notify you of the commencement of any litigation or
proceedings against it or any of its officers or directors in connection with
the issuance or sale of any Shares.
13. Authorized Representations. The Fund is not authorized to give any
information or to make any representations on behalf of you other than the
information and representations contained in a registration statement (including
a prospectus or statement of additional information) covering

supplemented from time to time.
You are not authorized to give any information or to make any
representations on behalf of the Fund or in connection with the sale of Shares
other than the information and representations contained in a registration
statement (including a prospectus or statement of additional information)
covering Shares, as such registration statement may be amended or supplemented
from time to time. No person other than you is authorized to act as principal
underwriter (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) for the Fund.
14. Duration and Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective upon the date first written above and will remain in effect
until September 30, 1999 and from year to year thereafter, but only so long as
such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a
majority of the Directors who are not interested persons of you or of the Fund,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval,
and by vote of the Board of Directors or of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund. This Agreement may, on 60 days' written notice, be
terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of
Directors of the Fund, by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund, or by you. This Agreement will automatically terminate
in the event of its assignment. In interpreting the provisions of this paragraph
14, the definitions contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly the
definitions of "interested person", "assignment" and "majority of the
outstanding voting securities"), as modified by any applicable order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, shall be applied.
15. Amendment of this Agreement. No provisions of this Agreement may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought. If the Fund should at any time deem it
necessary or advisable in the best interests of the Fund that any amendment of
this Agreement be made in order to comply with the recommendations or
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental
authority or to obtain any advantage

under state or federal tax laws and should notify you of the form of such
amendment, and the reasons therefor, and if you should decline to assent to such
amendment, the Fund may terminate this Agreement forthwith. If you should at any
time request that a change be made in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation or
By-laws or in its methods of doing business, in order to comply with any
requirements of federal law or regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or of a national securities association of which you are or may be a
member relating to the sale of shares of the Fund, and the Fund should not make
such necessary change within a reasonable time, you may terminate this Agreement
forthwith.
16. Termination of Prior Agreements. This Agreement upon its
effectiveness terminates and supersedes all prior underwriting contracts between
the parties.

convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the
