No special meeting shall be called upon the request of stockholders to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted upon at any special meeting of the stockholders held during the preceding 12 months, unless requested by the holders of a majority of all shares entitled to be voted at such meeting. [MGCL subsection 2- 502] Section 2.3. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary shall cause notice of the place, date and hour, and, in the case of a special meeting or if otherwise required by law, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, to be mailed, not less than 10 nor more than 90 days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation at the time of such mailing. Notice of any stockholders' meeting need not be given to any stockholder who shall sign a written waiver of such notice whether before or after the time of such meeting, which waiver shall be filed with the record of such meeting, or to any stockholder who is present at such meeting in person or by proxy. [MGCL subsection 2-504] Section 2.4. Quorum.

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. [MGCL subsection 2- 507] Section 2.6. Stockholders Entitled to Vote. If the Board of Directors sets a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any stockholders' meeting in accordance with Section 7.5 of Article VII hereof, each stockholder of the Corporation shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation on such record date.

A stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders may also authorize another person or persons to act as a proxy for him via telephone, the internet or any other means authorized by Maryland law. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it is not valid more than eleven months after its date. A copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction of a writing or transmission may be substituted for the original writing or transmission for any purpose for which the original writing or transmission could be used. Every proxy shall be dated, but need not be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person authorizing it or his personal representatives or assigns. All proxies shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, or to the person acting as Secretary of the meeting being voted.

If the presiding officer determines that a stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this Section, he shall so declare at the annual meeting and any such proposal shall not be acted upon at the annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section.

(the "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2003, we considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of their design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 2003. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Directors, management, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
