                               AMENDMENT NUMBER 1
                               ------------------
                         TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGREEMENT
                         -------------------------------

Amendment  Number 1, dated  December 8, 1992,  to the  Administrative  Agreement
dated  May 6,  1992,  by  and  between  Patriot  Premium  Dividend  Fund  II,  a
Massachusetts  business trust (the "Fund"),  and John Hancock Advisers,  Inc., a
corporation   organized   under  the  laws  of  the  state  of   Delaware   (the
"Administrator").

Whereas,  the Fund and the  Administrator  desire  to amend  the  Administrative
Agreement to reflect changes made to Section 4 in such agreement.

Now,  therefore,  in consideration of the foregoing  recitals and for other good
and  valuable  consideration,  the receipt and  sufficiency  of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Amendment to Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4 of the  Administrative  Agreement is hereby  deleted in its entirety
and the following new Paragraph 4 shall be substituted therefore:

4.       Compensation of the Administrator by the Fund

         (a) As full compensation for the services rendered, facilities
         furnished and expenses paid by the Administrator under this Agreement,
         the Fund agrees to pay to the Administrator a fee at the annual rate of
         .10 of 1% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. Such fee shall be
         accrued weekly and paid monthly as soon as practicable after the end of
         each month. For purposes of calculating such fee, the Fund's average
         weekly net assets are determined by taking the average of all the
         weekly determinations of net assets (total assets, less all
         liabilities, but not the aggregate liquidation preference of the
         outstanding DARTS) during a given calendar month.

         (b) If the Administrator shall serve for less than the whole of any
         month the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.


The effective date of this Amendment shall be January 1, 1993.

In witness whereof, the parties hereto each have caused this Amendment to be
signed in duplicate on Its behalf by Its duly authorized officer on the above
date.
