those  contained in Section  (c)(1) of the Rule; (b) determine that the Fund's
foreign  custody   arrangements  with  each  Eligible  Foreign  Custodian  are
governed  by  a  written  contract  with  the  Custodian  which  will  provide
reasonable  care for the Fund's  assets  based on the  standards  specified in
paragraph  (c)(1) of the  Rule;  (c)  determine  that  each  contract  with an
Eligible  Foreign   Custodian  shall  include  the  provisions   specified  in
paragraph  (c)(2)(i)(A) through (F) of the Rule or, alternatively,  in lieu of
any or all of such (c)(2)(i)(A) through (F) provisions,  such other provisions
as Citibank determines will provide, in their entirety,  the same or a greater
level of care and  protection  for the  assets  of the Fund as such  specified
provisions;  (d) monitor pursuant to the Monitoring System the appropriateness
of  maintaining  the  assets of the Fund with a  particular  Eligible  Foreign
Custodian  pursuant to  paragraph  (c)(1) of the Rule  including  any material
change in the contract  governing such  arrangement;  and (e) promptly  advise
the Fund  whenever  an  arrangement  (including  any  material  change  in the
contract  governing  such  arrangement)  described in preceding  clause (d) no
longer  meets the  requirements  of the Rule.  Citibank,  as  Foreign  Custody
Manger,  will make the determination that it is appropriate to maintain assets
in each Eligible  Foreign  Custodian and will exercise  reasonable care in the
process.

      2.    For  purposes  of  clause  (d)  of  preceding  Section  1 of  this

Company   Act  of   1940,   as   amended;   (b)   such   country's   financial
infrastructure,   (c)  such  country's   prevailing   custody  and  settlement
practices,  (d) nationalization,  expropriation or other governmental actions,
(e) regulation of the banking or securities  industry,  (f) currency controls,
