Introduction

Hello, my name is __________. I'm calling from DF King & Co., Inc., on behalf of
your investment in [applicable  fund name].  May I please speak with __________?
(If shares are registered jointly, ask to speak with one of the shareholders; if
shares  are  registered  in the form of an  entity,  ask to speak  with  someone
authorized to vote the shares).

The Fund mailed you proxy material  concerning the upcoming  special  meeting of
shareholders, which is scheduled for February 20, 2004. I am calling to find out
if you have received these materials. Do you have a moment?

Have you received the proxy materials in the mail?

     If not,  then help the  shareholder  obtain the material he requires.  If a
     NOBO, he/she should contact his/her broker. If registered, we will send the
     materials directly.  In either case, make sure the address is correct, make
     any necessary corrections, and code the disposition as "14" or "15".

Are you familiar with the proposals?  Do you have any questions?

     Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice. Remind the
     shareholder that his/her Board of Trustees has recommended that he/she vote
     in favor of the proposal.  Most  questions can be addressed by referring to
     the proxy statement and reading the appropriate sections.

At your earliest  convenience,  please vote by signing and dating the proxy card
you  received,  and  returning it in the envelope  provided.  If you like, I can
record your vote over the telephone right now. Okay?

     Allow the  person to give you a  response.  If the person  says  he/she has
     already sent in the proxy, do not ask how he/she voted.

Here is how we will  proceed.  I will record this phone call. I will ask you for
your name,  (if shares are  registered  to an entity,  ask for his/her title and
confirm that he/she is authorized to direct the voting of [applicable fund name]
shares),  your address and the last 4 digits of your social  security number (or
Tax  Identification  Number if shares are registered to an entity).  Finally,  I
will ask how many shares you own  (answer  optional)  and confirm  that you have
received the proxy materials.  Then I will take your vote.  Within 72 hours, you
will be mailed a letter  confirming  your vote,  which will tell you how to make
any changes you wish. Are you ready?


Begin the Vote

At this time, I'll begin recording the call. First, I'll reintroduce  myself. My
name is  __________,  calling from DF King & Co. on behalf of  [applicable  fund
name]. Today's date is __________ and the time is __________.

May I please have your full name? (If shareholder is an entity,  ask for his/her
title?  Also ask  him/her to confirm  that  he/she is  authorized  to direct the
voting of [applicable fund name] shares?)

May I please have your address?

May I have the last 4 digits of your social security number?  (If shareholder is
an entity, ask for the last 4 digits of the entity's Tax Identification Number.)

     Input the last 4 digits of the  SSN/TIN.  You may not proceed  without this
     information.  If the shareholder refuses to give this information,  explain
     that it is for  security  purposes  only,  to assure  that only the  proper
     person can vote his/her shares.  However,  if the shareholder  continues to
     resist, you have no choice but to politely end the call.

Have you received the proxy materials?

Actual Voting

Your  Board of  Trustees  is asking you to  consider a proposal  which they have
studied carefully.  They recommend that you vote in favor of the proposal. Would
you like to vote in favor of the proposal as recommended by your Board?

     If you are  required  to read the  proposal,  end by  saying,  "Your  Board
     recommends  that you vote in favor.  How would you like to vote?" The valid
     responses are:

                       F = For proposal.
                       A = Against proposal.
                       B = Abstain.

Closing

I have recorded your vote. You have voted __________.  Is that correct?  As your
voting agent I will execute a written proxy in accordance with your instructions
and forward it onto the Fund.

In the next 72 hours,  we will mail you a letter by first class mail  confirming
your vote. If you wish to change your vote for any reason, please call us at the
phone number listed in the letter. Thank you for your time.
