     Foreign  Custodian(s)  selected by Delegate in each  jurisdiction  to which

     deems appropriate.

5.   Monitoring of Eligible Foreign Custodians and Contracts

          In each case in which  Delegate has exercised the authority  delegated
     under this  Agreement  to place  Foreign  Assets with an  Eligible  Foreign
     Custodian,  Delegate  is  authorized  to,  and  shall,  on  behalf of Fund,
     establish a system to Monitor the  appropriateness  of maintaining  Foreign
     Assets with such Eligible Foreign Custodian. In each case in which Delegate
     has exercised the authority  delegated under this Agreement to enter into a
     written contract governing Fund's foreign custody arrangements, Delegate is

     the appropriateness of such contract.

6.   Securities Depositories

          a. In accordance with the requirements of Rule 17f-7,  Delegate shall,
     upon execution of this  Agreement,  provide Fund or its investment  advisor

     change in such risks.

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  advisor,
     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  advisor,  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 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,  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, Delegate shall effectuate the transfer of such Foreign Assets to
     a new Eligible Foreign Custodian as soon as is reasonably practicable.  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 Delegate in its sole discretion.

10.  Provision of Information Regarding Country Risk

     With respect to the  jurisdictions  listed in Appendix A1, or added thereto
pursuant  to  Article  3,  Delegate  agrees to  provide  the  Board  and  Fund's
investment  adviser  with  access to Eyes to the  WorldTM,  a service  available
through Delegate's Web Site at www.ibtco.com, containing information 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 to time as
Delegate deems necessary.
