meeting or as otherwise required by law, the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called, to be served personally or to be

stockholder who is present at such meeting in person or by proxy.

Section 2.4. Quorum and Adjournment of Meetings. The presence
at any stockholders meeting, in person or by proxy, of
stockholders entitled to cast one-third of all votes entitled to
be cast thereat shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, provided that with
respect to any matter to be voted upon separately by any class of
shares, a quorum shall consist of the holders of one-third of the
shares of that class outstanding and entitled to vote on the
matter. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders present in
person or by proxy or, if no stockholder entitled to vote is
present in person or by proxy, any officer present entitled to
preside or act as secretary of such meeting may adjourn the
meeting without determining the date of the new meeting or from

outstanding and standing in his name on the books of the
Corporation on the record date fixed in accordance with Section
7.4 hereof, either in person or by proxy appointed by instrument
in writing subscribed by such stockholder or his duly authorized
attorney, except that no shares held by the Corporation shall be
entitled to a vote.

If no record date has been fixed, the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of stockholders shall be the later of the close of
business on the day on which notice of the meeting is mailed or
the 30th day before the meeting, or, if notice is waived by all
stockholders, at the close of business on the 11th day preceding
the day on which the meeting is held.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Charter or these
By-laws or as required by applicable law, all matters shall be
decided by a vote of the majority of the votes validly cast at a
meeting at which a quorum is present. The vote upon any question
shall be by ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to
vote, but, unless such a request is made, voting may be conducted
in any way approved by the meeting.

At any meeting at which there is an election of directors, the
chairman of the meeting may appoint two inspectors of election
who shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute
faithfully the duties of inspectors at such election with strict
impartiality and according to the best of their ability, and
shall, after the election, make a certificate of the result of
the vote taken. No candidate for the office of director shall be
appointed as an inspector.

Section 2.6. Validity of Proxies. The right to vote by proxy
shall exist only if the instrument authorizing such proxy to act
shall have been signed by the stockholder or by his duly
authorized attorney. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it shall
not be valid more than 11 months after its date. All proxies
shall be delivered to the secretary of the Corporation or to the
person acting as secretary of the meeting before being voted, who
shall decide all questions concerning qualification of voters,
the validity of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of
votes. If inspectors of election have been appointed by the
chairman of the meeting, such inspectors shall decide all such
questions. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two
or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless
at or prior to exercise of such proxy the Corporation receives
from any one of them a specific written notice to the contrary
and a copy of the instrument or order which so provides. A proxy
purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall
be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise.

Section 2.7. Stock Ledger and List of Stockholders. It shall
be the duty of the secretary or assistant secretary of the
Corporation to cause an original or duplicate stock ledger
containing the names and addresses of all the stockholders and
the number of shares held by them, respectively, to be maintained
at the office of the Corporation's transfer agent. 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.

Section 2.8. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by stockholders at a meeting of
stockholders may be taken without a meeting if (a) all
stockholders entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action
in writing, (b) all stockholders entitled to notice of the
meeting but not entitled to vote at it sign a written waiver of
any right to dissent, and (c) the consents and waivers are filed

ARTICLE VII
CAPITAL STOCK

Section 7.1. Certificates of Stock. The interest of each
stockholder of the Corporation may be, but shall not be required
to be, evidenced by certificates for shares of stock in such form
not inconsistent with the Charter as the board of directors may
from time to time authorize. No certificate shall be valid
unless it is signed in the name of the Corporation by a president
or a co-president or a vice president and countersigned by the
secretary or an assistant secretary or the treasurer or an
assistant treasurer of the Corporation and sealed with the seal
of the Corporation, or bears the facsimile signatures of such
officers and a facsimile of such seal. In case any officer who
shall have signed any such certificate, or whose facsimile
signature has been placed thereon, shall cease to be such an
officer (because of death, resignation or otherwise) before such
certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued and
delivered by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were
such officer at the date of issue.

The number of each certificate issued, the name and address of
the person owning the shares represented thereby, the number of
such shares and the date of issuance shall be entered upon the
stock ledger of the Corporation at the time of issuance.

Every certificate exchanged, surrendered for redemption or
otherwise returned to the Corporation shall be marked "canceled"
with the date of cancellation.

Section 7.2. Transfer of Shares. Shares of the Corporation
shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation by the
holder of record thereof (in person or by his duly authorized
attorney or legal representative) (a) if a certificate or
certificates have been issued, upon surrender duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and transfer,
with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the
Corporation or its agents may reasonably require, or (b) as
otherwise prescribed by the board of directors. Except as
otherwise provided in the Charter, the shares of stock of the
Corporation may be freely transferred, subject to the charging of
customary transfer fees, and the board of directors may, from
time to time, adopt rules and regulations with reference to the
method of transfer of the shares of stock of the Corporation.
The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record
of any share of stock as the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any
legal, equitable or other claim or interest in such share on the
part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by
law or the statutes of the State of Maryland.

Section 7.3. Transfer Agents and Registrars. The board of
directors may from time to time appoint or remove transfer agents
or registrars of transfers for shares of stock of the
Corporation, and it may appoint the same person as both transfer
agent and registrar. Upon any such appointment being made all
certificates representing shares of capital stock thereafter
issued shall be countersigned by one of such transfer agents or
by one of such registrars of transfers or by both and shall not
be valid unless so countersigned. If the same person shall be
both transfer agent and registrar, only one countersignature by
such person shall be required.

Section 7.4. Fixing of Record Date. The board of directors may
fix in advance a date as a record date for the determination of
the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
stockholders meeting or any adjournment thereof, or to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights, or to exercise any rights in respect of
any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose
of any other lawful action, provided that (a) such record date
shall be within 90 days prior to the date on which the particular
action requiring such determination will be taken, except that a
meeting of stockholders convened on the date for which it was
called may be adjourned from time to time without further notice
to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date;
(b) the transfer books shall not be closed for a period longer
than 20 days; and (c) in the case of a meeting of stockholders,
the record date shall be at least 10 days before the date of the
meeting.

Section 7.5. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Before
issuing a new certificate for stock of the Corporation alleged to
have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the board of directors or
any officer authorized by the board may, in its discretion,
require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate
(or his legal representative) to give the Corporation a bond or
other indemnity, in such form and in such amount as the board or
any such officer may direct and with such surety or sureties as
may be satisfactory to the board or any such officer, sufficient
to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction
of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Section 10.1. Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Employees
and Agents. In accordance with applicable law, including the
Maryland General Corporation Law, the Corporation shall indemnify
each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative ("Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
or other enterprise, against all reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually incurred, and judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such
Proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law, now existing
or hereafter adopted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
following provisions shall apply with respect to indemnification
of the Corporation's directors, officers, and investment manager
(as defined in the 1940 Act):

(a) Whether or not there is an adjudication of
liability in such Proceeding, the Corporation
shall not indemnify any such person for any
liability arising by reason of such person's
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence,
or reckless disregard of the duties involved in
the conduct of his or her office or under any
contract or agreement with the Corporation
("disabling conduct").

(b) The Corporation shall not indemnify any such
person unless:

(1) the court or other body before which the
Proceeding was brought (a) dismisses the
Proceeding for insufficiency of evidence of any
disabling conduct, or (b) reaches a final decision
on the merits that such person was not liable by
reason of disabling conduct; or

(2) absent such a decision, a reasonable
determination is made, based upon a review of the
facts, by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum
of the directors of the Corporation who are
neither interested persons of the Corporation as
defined in the 1940 Act, nor parties to the
Proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not
obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a majority


of a quorum of directors described above so
directs, based upon a written opinion by
independent legal counsel, that such person was
not liable by reason of disabling conduct.

(c) Reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in defending a Proceeding involving any
such person will be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition thereof upon an
undertaking by such person to repay such expenses
unless it is ultimately determined that he or she
is entitled to indemnification, if:

(1) such person shall provide adequate security
for his or her undertaking;

(2) the Corporation shall be insured against
losses arising by reason of such advance; or

(3) a majority of a quorum of the directors of
the Corporation who are neither interested
persons of the Corporation as defined in the
1940 Act, nor parties to the Proceeding, or
independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, shall determine, based on a review
of readily available facts, that there is
reason to believe that such person will be
found to be entitled to indemnification.

Section 10.2. Insurance of Officers, Directors, Employees and
Agents. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or
other sources of reimbursement to the extent permitted by law on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner,
trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her in or arising out
of his position.

Section 10.3. Non-exclusivity. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
Article X shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses
may be entitled under the Charter, these By-laws, agreement, vote
of stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in
his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office.

Section 10.4. Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no amendment, alteration or repeal of this
Article or the adoption, alteration or amendment of any other
provisions to the Charter or these By-laws inconsistent with this
Article shall adversely affect any right or protection of any
person under this Article with respect to any act or failure to
act which occurred prior to such amendment, alteration, repeal or
adoption.


ARTICLE XI
AMENDMENTS

Section 11.1. General. Except as provided in Section 11.2 of
this Article XI, all By-laws of the Corporation, whether adopted
by the board of directors or the stockholders, shall be subject
to amendment, alteration or repeal, and new By-laws may be made
only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors, at any
meeting the notice or waiver of notice of which shall have
specified or summarized the proposed amendment, alteration,
repeal or new By-law. No amendment of any Section of these By-
laws shall be made by the stockholders of the Corporation except
as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article XI.

Section 11.2. By Stockholders Only. No amendment of any section
of these By-laws shall be made except by the stockholders of the
Corporation if the By-laws provide that such section may not be
amended, altered or repealed except by the stockholders. From
and after the issuance of any shares of the capital stock of the
Corporation no amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article XI
shall be made except by the stockholders of the Corporation.
