(b) Attached hereto as Annex A is a list, to the best of the Adviser’s or the Subadviser’s respective knowledge, of each affiliated person (and any affiliated person of such an affiliated person) of the Adviser or the Subadviser, as the case may be. Each of the Adviser and the Subadviser agrees promptly to update such list whenever the Adviser or the Subadviser becomes aware of any changes that should be added to or deleted from the list of affiliated persons.

(c) The Subadviser also will provide the Adviser with any information reasonably requested regarding its management of the Fund required for any shareholder report, amended registration statement, or prospectus supplement to be filed by the Fund with the SEC. The Subadviser will promptly inform the Fund and the Adviser if any information in the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) is (or will become) inaccurate or incomplete.

4. Standard of Care

The Subadviser will exercise its best judgment and will act in good faith and use reasonable care and in a manner consistent with applicable federal and state laws and regulations in rendering the services it agrees to provide under this Agreement.

5. Subadviser’s Duties Regarding Fund Transactions

(a) Placement of Orders. The Subadviser will take all actions that it considers necessary to implement the investment policies of the Fund, and, in particular, to place all orders for the purchase or sale of securities or other investments for the Fund with brokers or dealers the Subadviser, in its sole discretion, selects. To that end, the Subadviser is authorized as the Fund’s agent to give instructions to the Fund’s custodian as to deliveries of securities or other

4

investments and payments of cash for the Fund’s account. In connection with the selection of brokers or dealers and the placement of purchase and sale orders, the Subadviser is directed at all times to seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Board and set out in the Fund’s current Prospectus, subject to provisions (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 5.

(b) Selection of Brokers and Dealers. To the extent permitted by the policy guidelines set out in the Fund’s current Prospectus, in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, the Subadviser is authorized to consider not only the available prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors, which may include, without limitation: the execution capabilities of the brokers and dealers; the research, custody, and other services provided by the brokers and dealers that the Subadviser believes will enhance its general portfolio management capabilities; the size of the transaction; the difficulty of execution; the operational facilities of these brokers and dealers; the risk to a broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities; and the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by the brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, the Subadviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services to the Subadviser a higher commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Subadviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the services in terms of either the particular transaction or in terms of the Subadviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to any other client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser advises. The execution of such transactions will not be considered to represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Soft Dollar Arrangements. On an ongoing basis, but not less often than annually, the Subadviser will identify and provide a written description to the Board and the Adviser of all “soft dollar” arrangements that the Subadviser maintains with respect to the Fund or with brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the Fund, and of all research and other services provided to the Subadviser by a broker or dealer (whether prepared by such broker or dealer or by a third party) as a result, in whole or in part, of the direction of Fund transactions to the broker or dealer.

(d) Aggregated Transactions. On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or other financial instrument to be in the best interest of the Fund well as other clients, the Subadviser is authorized, but not required, to aggregate purchase and sale orders for securities or other financial instruments held (or to be held) by the Fund with similar orders being made on the same day for other client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser manages. When an order is so aggregated, the Subadviser may allocate the recommendations or transactions among all accounts and portfolios for whom the recommendation is made or transaction is effected on a basis that the Subadviser reasonably considers equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and its other clients. The Subadviser, the Adviser and the Fund recognize that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund.

6. Compensation

For its services, the Adviser pays the Subadviser at the end of each calendar month a fee based upon the average daily value of the net assets of the Fund at the annual rate of 0.40% of an aggregate of (i) the Fund’s average daily net assets and (ii) the proceeds of any outstanding borrowings used for leverage (“average daily net assets” means the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, including the amount obtained from leverage and any proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock, minus the sum of (i) accrued liabilities of the Fund, (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on outstanding borrowings and (iii) accumulated dividends on shares of outstanding preferred stock), commencing on the day following effectiveness hereof. For purposes of this calculation, average daily net assets is determined at the end of each month on the basis of the average net assets of the Fund for each day during the month. It is understood that the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock (other than accumulated dividends) is not considered a liability in determining the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Subadviser will have no right to obtain compensation directly from the Fund for services provided under this Agreement and agrees to look solely to the Adviser for payment of fees due. The fee for the period from the Effective Date (defined below) of the Agreement to the end of the month during which the Effective Date occurs will be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of a month, the fee for such part of that month will be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period and will be payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining fees payable to the Subadviser, the value of the Fund’s net assets will be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Prospectus, and on days on which the net assets are not so determined, the net asset value computation to be used will be as determined on the immediately preceding day on which the net assets were determined.

7. Expenses

The Subadviser will bear all expenses (excluding expenses to be borne by the Fund as described in the following sentence) in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement. The Fund will bear certain other expenses to be incurred in its operation, including, but not limited to, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund’s directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the Fund and the Fund’s shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Fund; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Fund’s shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) insurance premiums for fidelity bond and other coverage; (x) investment management fees; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing prospectuses and statements of additional information and supplements to these documents; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses and supplements thereto; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is a party and legal obligations that the Fund may have to indemnify the Fund’s directors, officers and/or employees or agents with respect to these actions, suits or proceedings.

8. Services to Other Companies or Accounts

The Adviser understands that the Subadviser and its affiliates now act, will continue to act and may act in the future as investment manager or adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as an investment manager or adviser to other investment companies, including any offshore entities or private accounts. The Adviser has no objection to the Subadviser and its affiliates so acting, provided, that, whenever the Fund and one or more other investment companies or accounts managed or advised by the Subadviser and its affiliates have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula reasonably believed to be equitable to each such company and account. The Adviser represents that the Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund and that the Fund also understands that the persons employed by the Subadviser to assist in the performance of the Subadviser’s duties under this Agreement may not devote their full time to such service, and that nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Subadviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature. This Agreement will not in any way limit or restrict the Subadviser or any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents from buying, selling or trading any securities or other investment instruments for its or their own account or for the account of others for whom it or they may be acting, provided that such activities will not adversely affect or otherwise impair the performance by the Subadviser of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

9. Affiliated Brokers

The Subadviser or any of its affiliates may act as broker in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other investments for the Fund, subject to: (a) the requirement that the Subadviser seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Board and set out in the Fund’s current prospectus; (b) the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act; (c) the provisions of the 1934 Act, including, but not limited to, Section 11(a) thereof; and (d) other provisions of applicable law. These brokerage services are not within the scope of the duties of the Subadviser under this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and any procedures adopted by the Board, the Subadviser or its affiliates may receive brokerage commissions, fees or other remuneration from the Fund for these services in addition to the Subadviser’s fees for services under this Agreement.

10. Custody

Nothing in this Agreement will require the Subadviser to take or receive physical possession of cash, securities, or other investments of the Fund.

In any action or proceeding, following provision of proper notice by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such action, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in any such action and, to the extent that it will wish, participate jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel of its choice (unless any conflict of interest requires the appointment of separate counsel), and after notice

from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of the action, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any legal expense of the other counsel subsequently incurred without the Indemnifying Party’s consent. The Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense or settlement of claims so assumed. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable under this Agreement for the settlement by the Indemnified Party for any claim or demand unless the Indemnifying Party has previously approved the settlement or it has been notified of such claim or demand and has failed to provide a defense in accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event that any proceeding involving the Indemnifying Party will be commenced by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Agreement, or the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and such proceeding will be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will be liable to the Indemnifying Party for any reasonable attorney’s fees and direct costs relating to such proceedings. The indemnifications provided in this Section 17 will survive the termination of this Agreement.
