<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; font-size:12pt" align=justify>To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Liberty All-Star Growth Fund, Inc.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; font-size:12pt" align=justify>In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Liberty All-Star Growth Fund, Inc. (the &#147;Fund&#148;) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; font-size:12pt">The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. &nbsp;In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. &nbsp;A fund&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. &nbsp;Such internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a fund&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; font-size:12pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. &nbsp;Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; font-size:12pt">A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the fund's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the fund's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. &nbsp;A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. &nbsp;</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; font-size:12pt">Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). &nbsp;However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 2006.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; text-indent:14.4pt" align=justify>ALPS Advisers, Inc. (the &#147;Fund Manager&#148;) evaluates and recommends portfolio managers for the assets of the Fund, and the Fund Manager or an affiliate of the Fund Manager is responsible for the day-to-day &nbsp;Fund administration of the Fund.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; text-indent:14.4pt" align=justify>1. <U>Employment as a Portfolio Manager.</U> &nbsp;The Fund, being duly authorized, hereby employs William Blair &amp; Company, L.L.C. (&#147;Portfolio Manager&#148;) as a discretionary portfolio manager, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, of that portion of the Fund&#146;s assets which the Fund Manager determines to assign to the Portfolio Manager (those assets being referred to as the &#147;Portfolio Manager Account&#148;). <B>&nbsp;</B>The Fund Manager may, from time to time, allocate and reallocate the Fund&#146;s assets among the Portfolio Manager and the other portfolio managers of the Fund&#146;s assets. &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager will be an independent contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Fund Manager in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Fund or the Fund Manager except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or in another writing by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manag
er. &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager&#146;s responsibilities for providing portfolio management services to the Fund shall be limited to the Portfolio Manager Account.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; text-indent:14.4pt" align=justify>2. <U>Acceptance of Employment; Standard of Performance.</U> &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager accepts its employment as a discretionary portfolio manager and agrees to use its best professional judgment to make timely investment decisions for the Portfolio Manager Account in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:54pt" align=justify>In providing portfolio management services to the Portfolio Manager Account, the Portfolio Manager shall be subject to the Fund&#146;s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended from time to time, investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as the same may be modified from time to time (together, the &#147;Prospectus&#148;), the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, and the investment and other restrictions set forth in the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to the supervision and control of the Board of Directors of the Fund, and to instructions from the Fund Manager. The Portfolio Manager shall not, without the prior approval of the Fund or the Fund Manager, effect any transactions that would cause the Portfolio Manager Account, treated as a separate fund, to be out 
of compliance with any of such restrictions or policies. &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager shall not consult with any other portfolio manager of the Fund concerning transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:54pt" align=justify>

As part of the services it will provide hereunder, the Portfolio Manager will:

<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:-12pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>

(i)

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt" align=justify>

formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the Portfolio Manager Account;

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:-12pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>

(ii)

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt" align=justify>

take whatever steps are necessary to implement the investment program for the Portfolio Manager Account by arranging for the purchase and sale of securities and other investments;

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:-12pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>

(iii)

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt" align=justify>

keep the Fund Manager and the Board of Directors of the Fund fully informed in writing on an ongoing basis, as agreed by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager, of all material facts concerning the investment and reinvestment of the assets in the Portfolio Manager Account, the Portfolio Manager and its key investment personnel and operations; make regular and periodic special written reports of such additional information concerning the same as may reasonably be requested from time to time by the Fund Manager or the Directors of the Fund; attend meetings with the Fund Manager and/or Directors, as reasonably requested, to discuss the foregoing and such other matters as may be requested by the Fund Manager or Directors;

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:-12pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>

(iv)

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt" align=justify>

in accordance with procedures and methods established by the Directors of the Fund, which may be amended from time to time, provide assistance in determining the fair value of all securities and other investments/assets in the Portfolio Manager Account, as necessary, and use reasonable efforts to arrange for the provision of valuation information or a price(s) from a party(ies) independent of the Portfolio Manager for each security or other investment/asset in the Portfolio Manager Account for which market prices are not readily available; and

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:-12pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>

(v)

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt" align=justify>

cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Fund Manager, the Fund&#146;s administrator, custodian, transfer agent and pricing agents and all other agents and representatives of the Fund and the Fund Manager; keep all such persons fully informed as to such matters as they may reasonably deem necessary to the performance of their obligations to the Fund and the Fund Manager; provide prompt responses to reasonable requests made by such persons; and maintain any appropriate interfaces with each so as to promote the efficient exchange of information.

</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>4. <U>Transaction Procedures.</U> &nbsp;All portfolio transactions for the Portfolio Manager Account will be consummated by payment to or delivery by the custodian of the Fund (the &#147;Custodian&#148;), or such depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in writing, as custodian for the Fund, of all cash and/or securities due to or from the Portfolio Manager Account, and the Portfolio Manager shall not have possession or custody thereof or any responsibility or liability with respect to such custody. The Portfolio Manager shall advise and confirm in writing to the Custodian all investment orders for the Portfolio Manager Account placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time and in the manner set forth in Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time by the Fund Manager). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of any transaction initiated b
y the Portfolio Manager. The Fund shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements and the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and, upon giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the Portfolio Manager shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial arrangements or the acts, omissions or other conduct of the Custodian.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>5. <U>Allocation of Brokerage.</U> &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager shall have authority and discretion to select brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Portfolio Manager for the Portfolio Manager Account, and to select the markets on or in which the transaction will be executed.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>A. In doing so, the Portfolio Manager&#146;s primary responsibility shall be to seek to obtain best net price and execution for the Fund. However, this responsibility shall not obligate the Portfolio Manager to solicit competitive bids for each transaction or to seek the lowest available commission cost to the Fund, so long as the Portfolio Manager reasonably believes that the broker or dealer selected by it can be expected to obtain a &#147;best execution&#148; market price on the particular transaction and determines in good faith that the commission cost is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services (as defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided by such broker or dealer to the Portfolio Manager viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or of the Portfolio Manager&#146;s overall responsibilities with respect to its clients, including 
the Fund, as to which the Portfolio Manager exercises investment discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of any such services or that another broker may be willing to charge the Fund a lower commission on the particular transaction.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>B. Subject to the requirements of paragraph A above, the Fund Manager shall have the right to request that transactions giving rise to brokerage commissions, in an amount to be agreed upon by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager, shall be executed by brokers and dealers that provide brokerage or research services to the Fund Manager, or as to which an on-going relationship will be of value to the Fund in the management of its assets, which services and relationship may, but need not, be of direct benefit to the Portfolio Manager Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible under paragraph A above with respect to transactions executed through any such broker or dealer.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>C.

<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>A. In doing so, the Portfolio Manager&#146;s primary responsibility shall be to seek to obtain best net price and execution for the Fund. However, this responsibility shall not obligate the Portfolio Manager to solicit competitive bids for each transaction or to seek the lowest available commission cost to the Fund, so long as the Portfolio Manager reasonably believes that the broker or dealer selected by it can be expected to obtain a &#147;best execution&#148; market price on the particular transaction and determines in good faith that the commission cost is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services (as defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided by such broker or dealer to the Portfolio Manager viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or of the Portfolio Manager&#146;s overall responsibilities with respect to its clients, including 
the Fund, as to which the Portfolio Manager exercises investment discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of any such services or that another broker may be willing to charge the Fund a lower commission on the particular transaction.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>B. Subject to the requirements of paragraph A above, the Fund Manager shall have the right to request that transactions giving rise to brokerage commissions, in an amount to be agreed upon by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager, shall be executed by brokers and dealers that provide brokerage or research services to the Fund Manager, or as to which an on-going relationship will be of value to the Fund in the management of its assets, which services and relationship may, but need not, be of direct benefit to the Portfolio Manager Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible under paragraph A above with respect to transactions executed through any such broker or dealer.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>C. The Portfolio Manager shall not execute any portfolio transactions for the Portfolio Manager Account with a broker or dealer which is an &#147;affiliated person&#148; (as defined in the Act) of the Fund, the Portfolio Manager or any other portfolio manager of the Fund without the prior written approval of the Fund. The Fund Manager will provide the Portfolio Manager with a list of brokers and dealers which are &#147;affiliated persons&#148; of the Fund or its portfolio managers.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>6. <U>Proxies.</U> &nbsp;The Fund Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be determined by the Fund Manager, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. &nbsp;Upon the written request of the Fund Manager, the Portfolio Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be determined by the Fund Manager, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.<FONT COLOR=#0000FF><U>

<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>7. <U>Fees for Services.</U> The compensation of the Portfolio Manager for its services under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Fund Manager in accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the Fund Management Agreement between the Fund and the Fund Manager, the Fund Manager is solely responsible for the payment of fees to the Portfolio Manager, and the Portfolio Manager agrees to seek payment of its fees solely from the Fund Manager.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>8. <U>Other Investment Activities of Portfolio Manager.</U> The Fund acknowledges that the Portfolio Manager or one or more of its affiliates has investment responsibilities, renders investment advice to and performs other investment advisory services for other individuals or entities (&#147;Client Accounts&#148;), and that the Portfolio Manager, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for its or their respective accounts (&#147;Affiliated Accounts&#148;). Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, the Fund agrees that the Portfolio Manager or its affiliates may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to other Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts which may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Portfolio Manager Account, provid
ed that the Portfolio Manager acts in good faith, and provided further, that it is the Portfolio Manager&#146;s policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities to the Portfolio Manager Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to the Client Accounts and the Affiliated Accounts, taking into account the cash position and the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and any specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Fund acknowledges that one or more Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which the Portfolio Manager Account may have an interest from time to time, whether in transactions which involve the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise. The Portfolio Manager shall have no obligation to acquire for the Portfolio Manager Account a position in any investment which any Client Account or Affiliated Account may acquire, a
nd the Fund shall have no first refusal, co-investment or other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>9. <U>Limitation of Liability.</U> &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable judgment, in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, or in accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or instructions from the Fund, provided, however, that such acts or omissions shall not have resulted from the Portfolio Manager&#146;s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, a violation of the standard of care established by and applicable to the Portfolio Manager in its actions under this Agreement or breach of its duty or of its obligations hereunder (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to protect the Portfolio Manager from liability in violation of Section 17(i) of the Act).</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>10. <U>Confidentiality.</U> &nbsp;Subject to the duty of the Portfolio Manager, the Fund Manager and the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto shall treat as confidential all information pertaining to the Portfolio Manager Account and the actions of the Portfolio Manager and the Fund in respect thereof.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>11. <U>Assignment.</U> &nbsp;This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act. The Portfolio Manager shall notify the Fund in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of control, as defined in Section 2(a)(9) of the Act, as will enable the Fund to consider whether an assignment as defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act will occur, and whether to take the steps necessary to enter into a new contract with the Portfolio Manager.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; text-indent:14.4pt" align=justify>12. <U>Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Fund.</U> &nbsp;The Fund represents, warrants and agrees that:</P>

cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Fund Manager, the Fund&#146;s administrator, custodian, transfer agent and pricing agents and all other agents and representatives of the Fund and the Fund Manager; keep all such persons fully informed as to such matters as they may reasonably deem necessary to the performance of their obligations to the Fund and the Fund Manager; provide prompt responses to reasonable requests made by such persons; and maintain any appropriate interfaces with each so as to promote the efficient exchange of information.

<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>4. <U>Transaction Procedures.</U> &nbsp;All portfolio transactions for the Portfolio Manager Account will be consummated by payment to or delivery by the custodian of the Fund (the &#147;Custodian&#148;), or such depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in writing, as custodian for the Fund, of all cash and/or securities due to or from the Portfolio Manager Account, and the Portfolio Manager shall not have possession or custody thereof or any responsibility or liability with respect to such custody. The Portfolio Manager shall advise and confirm in writing to the Custodian all investment orders for the Portfolio Manager Account placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time and in the manner set forth in Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time by the Fund Manager). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of any transaction initiated b
y the Portfolio Manager. The Fund shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements and the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and, upon giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the Portfolio Manager shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial arrangements or the acts, omissions or other conduct of the Custodian.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>5. <U>Allocation of Brokerage.</U> &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager shall have authority and discretion to select brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Portfolio Manager for the Portfolio Manager Account, and to select the markets on or in which the transaction will be executed.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>A. In doing so, the Portfolio Manager&#146;s primary responsibility shall be to seek to obtain best net price and execution for the Fund. However, this responsibility shall not obligate the Portfolio Manager to solicit competitive bids for each transaction or to seek the lowest available commission cost to the Fund, so long as the Portfolio Manager reasonably believes that the broker or dealer selected by it can be expected to obtain a &#147;best execution&#148; market price on the particular transaction and determines in good faith that the commission cost is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services (as defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided by such broker or dealer to the Portfolio Manager viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or of the Portfolio Manager&#146;s overall responsibilities with respect to its clients, including 
the Fund, as to which the Portfolio Manager exercises investment discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of any such services or that another broker may be willing to charge the Fund a lower commission on the particular transaction.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>B. Subject to the requirements of paragraph A above, the Fund Manager shall have the right to request that transactions giving rise to brokerage commissions, in an amount to be agreed upon by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager, shall be executed by brokers and dealers that provide brokerage or research services to the Fund Manager, or as to which an on-going relationship will be of value to the Fund in the management of its assets, which services and relationship may, but need not, be of direct benefit to the Portfolio Manager Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible under paragraph A above with respect to transactions executed through any such broker or dealer.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>C. The Portfolio Manager shall not execute any portfolio transactions for the Portfolio Manager Account with a broker or dealer which is an &#147;affiliated person&#148; (as defined in the Act) of the Fund, the Portfolio Manager or any other portfolio manager of the Fund without the prior written approval of the Fund. The Fund Manager will provide the Portfolio Manager with a list of brokers and dealers which are &#147;affiliated persons&#148; of the Fund or its portfolio managers.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>6. <U>Proxies.</U> &nbsp;The Fund Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be determined by the Fund Manager, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. &nbsp;Upon the written request of the Fund Manager, the Portfolio Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be determined by the Fund Manager, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.<FONT COLOR=#0000FF><U>

<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>7. <U>Fees for Services.</U> The compensation of the Portfolio Manager for its services under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Fund Manager in accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the Fund Management Agreement between the Fund and the Fund Manager, the Fund Manager is solely responsible for the payment of fees to the Portfolio Manager, and the Portfolio Manager agrees to seek payment of its fees solely from the Fund Manager.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>8. <U>Other Investment Activities of Portfolio Manager.</U> The Fund acknowledges that the Portfolio Manager or one or more of its affiliates has investment responsibilities, renders investment advice to and performs other investment advisory services for other individuals or entities (&#147;Client Accounts&#148;), and that the Portfolio Manager, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for its or their respective accounts (&#147;Affiliated Accounts&#148;). Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, the Fund agrees that the Portfolio Manager or its affiliates may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to other Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts which may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Portfolio Manager Account, provid
ed that the Portfolio Manager acts in good faith, and provided further, that it is the Portfolio Manager&#146;s policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities to the Portfolio Manager Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to the Client Accounts and the Affiliated Accounts, taking into account the cash position and the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and any specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Fund acknowledges that one or more Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which the Portfolio Manager Account may have an interest from time to time, whether in transactions which involve the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise. The Portfolio Manager shall have no obligation to acquire for the Portfolio Manager Account a position in any investment which any Client Account or Affiliated Account may acquire, a
nd the Fund shall have no first refusal, co-investment or other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>9. <U>Limitation of Liability.</U> &nbsp;The Portfolio Manager shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable judgment, in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, or in accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or instructions from the Fund, provided, however, that such acts or omissions shall not have resulted from the Portfolio Manager&#146;s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, a violation of the standard of care established by and applicable to the Portfolio Manager in its actions under this Agreement or breach of its duty or of its obligations hereunder (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to protect the Portfolio Manager from liability in violation of Section 17(i) of the Act).</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>10. <U>Confidentiality.</U> &nbsp;Subject to the duty of the Portfolio Manager, the Fund Manager and the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto shall treat as confidential all information pertaining to the Portfolio Manager Account and the actions of the Portfolio Manager and the Fund in respect thereof.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:72pt; text-indent:-36pt" align=justify>11. <U>Assignment.</U> &nbsp;This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act. The Portfolio Manager shall notify the Fund in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of control, as defined in Section 2(a)(9) of the Act, as will enable the Fund to consider whether an assignment as defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act will occur, and whether to take the steps necessary to enter into a new contract with the Portfolio Manager.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; text-indent:14.4pt" align=justify>12. <U>Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Fund.</U> &nbsp;The Fund represents, warrants and agrees that:</P>
<P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
