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.

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

12



Global Income Fund, Inc.
By-laws As Amended March 3, 1999

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,

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.

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.

or director of the Corporation shall have any interest, direct or indirect, in
any other firm, association or corporation as officer, employee, director or
stockholder, no transaction or contract made by the Corporation with any such
other firm, association or corporation shall be valid unless such interest shall
have been disclosed or made known to all of the directors or to a majority of
the directors and such transaction or contract shall have been approved by a
majority of a quorum of directors, which majority shall consist of directors not
having any such interest or a majority of the directors in office, including

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

14



Global Income Fund, Inc.
By-laws As Amended March 3, 1999

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.
