            Section 1.  Number; Qualification; Term: The Board of
Directors may from time to time designate and appoint one or more
qualified persons to the position of "honorary director." Each
honorary director shall serve for a one-year term.  An honorary

the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors given at any
regular meeting or special meeting.

            Section 2.  Duties; Remuneration:  An honorary director
shall be entitled to attend at least one meeting of the Board of
Directors each fiscal year at the invitation of the Board of

Incorporation or of these By-Laws, shall not be deemed to be a
member of an "advisory board" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time, shall not hold
himself out as any of the foregoing, and shall not be liable to
any person for any act of the Corporation. Notice of special
meetings may be given to an honorary director but the failure

or the action taken thereat.

            An honorary director shall not have the powers of a
Director, may not vote at meetings of the Board of Directors and
shall not take part in the operation or governance of the
Corporation. An honorary director shall not receive any compensation
but shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings
