7.   GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE EXERCISE OF DELEGATED AUTHORITY

     a.   BOARD'S CONCLUSIVE DETERMINATION REGARDING COUNTRY RISK

          In exercising its delegated authority under this Agreement, Delegate
may assume, for all purposes, that Board (or Fund's investment adviser, pursuant
to authority delegated by Board) has considered, and pursuant to its fiduciary
duties to Fund and Fund's shareholders, determined to accept, such Country Risk
as is incurred by placing and maintaining Foreign Assets in the jurisdictions to
which this Agreement applies. In exercising its delegated authority under this
Agreement, Delegate may also assume that Board (or Fund's investment adviser,
pursuant to authority delegated by Board) has, and will continue to, Monitor
such Country Risk to the extent Board deems necessary or appropriate.

          Except as specifically described herein, nothing in this Agreement
shall require Delegate to make any selection or to engage in any Monitoring on
behalf of Fund that would entail consideration of Country Risk.

     b.   SELECTION OF ELIGIBLE FOREIGN CUSTODIANS

          In exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement to place
Foreign Assets with an Eligible Foreign Custodian, Delegate shall determine that
Foreign Assets will be subject to reasonable care, based on the standards
applicable to custodians in the market in which the Foreign Assets will be held,
after considering all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such Foreign
Assets, including, without limitation;

          i.   The Eligible Foreign Custodian's practices, procedures, and
               internal controls, including, but not limited to, the physical
               protections available for certificated securities (if
               applicable), the method of keeping custodial records, and the
               security and data protection practices;

          ii.  Whether the Eligible Foreign Custodian has the financial strength
               to provide reasonable care for Foreign Assets;

          iii. The Eligible Foreign Custodian's general reputation and standing;

          iv.  Whether Fund will have jurisdiction over and be able to enforce
               judgments against the Eligible Foreign Custodian, such as by
               virtue of

                                        4


               the existence of any offices of the Eligible Foreign Custodian in
               the United States or the Eligible Foreign Custodian's consent to
               service of process in the United States; and

          v.   In the case of an Eligible Foreign Custodian that is a banking
               institution or trust company, any additional factors and criteria
               set forth in APPENDIX C to this Agreement.

     c.   EVALUATION OF WRITTEN CONTRACTS

          In exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement to enter
into written contracts governing Fund's foreign custody arrangements with an
Eligible Foreign Custodian, Delegate shall determine that such contracts provide
reasonable care for Foreign Assets based on the standards applicable to Eligible
Foreign Custodians in the relevant market. In making this determination,
Delegate shall ensure that the terms of such contracts comply with the
provisions of Rule 17f-5(c)(2).

     d.   MONITORING OF ELIGIBLE FOREIGN CUSTODIANS

          In exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement to
establish a system to Monitor the appropriateness of maintaining Foreign Assets
with an Eligible Foreign Custodian or the appropriateness of a written contract
governing Fund's foreign custody arrangements, Delegate shall consider any
factors and criteria set forth in APPENDIX D to this Agreement. If, as a result
of its Monitoring of Eligible Foreign Custodian relationships hereunder or
otherwise, the Delegate determines in its sole discretion that it is in the best
interest of the safekeeping of the Foreign Assets to move such Foreign Assets to
a different Eligible Foreign Custodian, the Fund shall bear any expense related
to such relocation of Foreign Assets.

8.   STANDARD OF CARE

     a.   In exercising the authority delegated under this Agreement with regard
to its duties under Rule 17f-5, Delegate agrees to exercise reasonable care,
prudence and diligence such as a person having responsibility for the
safekeeping of Foreign Assets of an investment company registered under the 1940
Act would exercise.

     b.   In carrying out its responsibilities under this Agreement with regard
to Rule 17f-7, Delegate agrees to exercise reasonable care, prudence and
diligence.

9.   REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

     Delegate agrees to provide written reports notifying Board of the placement
of Foreign Assets with a particular Eligible Foreign Custodian and of any
material change in Fund's arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians.
Such reports shall be provided to Board quarterly for consideration at the next
regularly scheduled meeting of the Board or earlier if deemed necessary or
advisable by the Delegate in its sole discretion.

investment adviser with access to Eyes to the WorldTM, a service available

relating to Country Risk, if available, as is specified in APPENDIX E to this
Agreement. Such information relating to Country Risk shall be updated from time

               Bank Indemnified Parties).

Parties") be liable to the Delegate or any third party for, and the Delegate
shall indemnify and hold the Fund and the Fund Indemnified Parties harmless from
and against, any Claim to the extent arising from the negligence, willful
