ARTICLE I
NAME OF CORPORATION, LOCATION OF
OFFICES AND SEAL
        Section 1.1. Principal Offices. The principal office of the
Corporation in the State of Maryland shall be located in Baltimore,
Maryland. The Corporation may, in addition, establish and maintain such
other offices and places of business as the Board of Directors may,
from time to time, determine. [MGCL subsection 2-108?]
        Section 1.2. Seal. The corporate seal of the Corporation shall
be circular in form and shall bear the name of the Corporation, the
year of its incorporation, and the word "Maryland." The form of the
seal shall be subject to alteration by the Board of Directors and the
seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile to be impressed or
affixed or printed or otherwise reproduced. Any officer or Director of
the Corporation shall have authority to affix the corporate seal of the
Corporation to any document requiring the same. If the Corporation is
required to place its corporate seal to a document, it shall be
sufficient to place the word "(seal)" adjacent to the signature of the
authorized officer of the corporation signing the document. [MGCL
subsection 1-
304]

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS
        Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders
for the election of Directors and the transaction of such other
business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held in
October. The meeting will be held at such place as the Board of
Directors shall select. [MGCL subsection 2-501]
        Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders
may be called at any time by the President, by a majority of the Board
of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board, if any, and shall be held
at such time and place as may be stated in the notice of the meeting.
        Special meetings of the stockholders shall also be called by
the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of shares
entitled to not less than 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at
such meeting, provided that (1) such request shall state the purposes
of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon, and (2) the
stockholders requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Corporation
the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice
thereof, which the Secretary shall determine and specify to such
stockholders. No special meeting shall be called upon the request of
stockholders to consider any matter which is substantially the same as
a matter voted upon at any special meeting of the stockholders held
during the preceding 12 months, unless requested by the holders of a
majority of all shares entitled to be voted at such meeting. [MGCL
subsection 2-
502]
        Section 2.3. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary shall cause
notice of the place, date and hour, and, in the case of a special
meeting or if otherwise required by law, the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting is called, to be mailed, not less than 10 nor more
than 90 days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting at his address as it appears on the
records of the Corporation at the time of such mailing.  Notice of any
stockholders' meeting need not be given to any stockholder who shall
sign a written waiver of such notice whether before or after the time
of such meeting, which waiver shall be filed with the record of such
meeting, or to any stockholder who is present at such meeting in person
or by proxy. Notice of adjournment of a stockholders' meeting to
another time or place need not be given if such time and place are
announced at the meeting. [MGCL subsection 2-504]
        Section 2.4. Quorum. The presence at any stockholders' meeting,
in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of
the votes entitled to be cast thereat shall be necessary and sufficient
to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence
of a quorum, the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote at
the meeting and present in person or by proxy, or, if no stockholder
entitled to vote is present in person or by proxy, any officer present
entitled to preside or act as Secretary of such meeting, may adjourn
the meeting sine die or from time to time without further notice to a
date not more than 120 days after the original record date. Any
business that might have been transacted at the meeting originally
called may be transacted at any such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum is present. [MGCL subsections 2-506, 2-511]
        Section 2.5. Voting. At each stockholders' meeting, each
stockholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote for each
share of stock of the Corporation validly issued and outstanding and
standing in his name on the books of the Corporation on the record date
fixed in accordance with Section 5 of Article VII hereof. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in the Articles of Incorporation or
these By-Laws or as required by law, as amended from time to time, all
matters shall be decided by a vote of the majority of the votes validly
cast. The vote upon any question shall be by ballot whenever requested
by any person entitled to vote, but, unless such a request is made,
voting may be conducted in any way approved by the meeting. [MGCL
subsection 2-
507]

Section 2.6. Stockholders Entitled to Vote. If the Board of Directors
sets a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any stockholders' meeting in accordance with
Section 7.5 of Article VII hereof, each stockholder of the Corporation
shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, each share of stock
standing in his name on the books of the Corporation on such record
date. If no record date has been fixed, the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the
Maryland General Corporation Law. [MGCL subsection 2-511]
        Section 2.7. Proxies. Any stockholder entitled to vote at any
meeting of stockholders may vote either in person or by written proxy
signed by the stockholder or his authorized agent.  A stockholder
entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders may also authorize
another person or persons to act as a proxy for him via telephone, the
internet or any other means authorized by Maryland law.  Unless a proxy
provides otherwise, it is not valid more than eleven months after its
date.  A copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction of a
writing or transmission may be substituted for the original writing or
transmission for any purpose for which the original writing or
transmission could be used.  Every proxy shall be dated, but need not
be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged.  Every proxy shall be revocable
at the pleasure of the person authorizing it or of his personal
representatives or assigns. All proxies shall be delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation, or to the person acting as Secretary of
the meeting being voted.  A proxy with respect to stock held in the
name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them
unless, at or prior to exercise of such proxy, the Corporation receives
a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them.  A
proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall
be valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise. [MGCL
subsection 2-507]
        Section 2.8. Voting and Inspectors. At any election of
Directors, the Chairman of the meeting may appoint two inspectors of
election who shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute
faithfully the duties of inspectors at such election with strict
impartiality and according to the best of their ability, and shall
after election make a certificate of the result of the vote taken. No
candidate for the office of Director shall be appointed such Inspector.
        Section 2.9. Action without Meeting. Any action to be taken by
stockholders may be taken without a meeting if (1) all stockholders
entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing, (2)
all stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled to
vote at it sign a written waiver of any right to dissent and (3) said
consents and waivers are filed with the records of the meetings of
stockholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote
at the meeting. [MGCL subsection 2-505]
        Section 2.10. New Business. At an annual meeting of
stockholders, only such new business shall be conducted, and only such
proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been brought before the
annual meeting (a) by or at the recommendation of a majority of the
directors then in office or (b) by any stockholder of record at the
time of giving of notice provided for in this Section who complies with
the notice procedures set forth in this Section. For a proposal to be
properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the
stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the
Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must
be delivered to, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested
to and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty
(120) days prior to the date of the meeting, as established pursuant to
Section 2.1, regardless of any postponement, deferral, or adjournment
of that meeting to a later date (provided however, that if less than
one hundred (100) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date
of the scheduled meeting is given or made, notice by the stockholder to
be timely must be so delivered or received not later than the close of
business on the tenth (10th) day following the earlier of the day on
which such notice of the date of the scheduled meeting was given or the
day on which such public disclosure was made). Such stockholder's
notice shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to
bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the proposal
desired to be brought before the annual meeting; (b) the name and
address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder
proposing such business; (c) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation's stock which are beneficially owned (as defined in Rule
l3d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " 1934
Act")) by the stockholder; and (d) any material interest of the
stockholder in such proposal.
        The presiding officer of the annual meeting shall determine and
declare at the annual meeting whether the stockholder proposal was made
in accordance with the terms of this Section. If the presiding officer
determines that a stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the
terms of this Section, he shall so declare at the annual meeting and
ballots shall be provided for use at the meeting with respect to any
such proposal. If the presiding officer determines that a stockholder
proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this Section, he
shall so declare at the annual meeting and any such proposal shall not
be acted upon at the annual meeting.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section. This Section shall not prevent the
consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of
reports of officers, directors and committees of the Board of
Directors, but, in connection with such reports, no new business shall
be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated, filed and received
as herein provided.
        Section 2.11. Director Nominations. Nominations of candidates
for elections as directors at any meeting of stockholders may be made
(a) by or at the recommendation of a majority of the directors then in
office or (b) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a
stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in
this Section, who shall be entitled to vote for the election of
directors at the meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures
set forth in this Section. Only persons nominated in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section shall be eligible for election
as directors by the stockholders.
        Nominations, other than those made by or at the recommendation
of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in
writing to the Secretary of the Corporation as set forth in this
Section. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to, or
mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested to and received at,
the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than
ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior
to the date of the meeting, as established pursuant to Section 2.1 or
Section 2.2 of Article II hereof (depending on whether the meeting is
an annual meeting or special meeting), regardless of any postponement,
deferral, or adjournment of that meeting to a later date (provided,
however, that if less than one hundred (100) days' notice or prior
public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or
made, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered or
received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day
following the earlier of the day on which such notice of the date of
the scheduled meeting was given or the day on which such public
disclosure was made). Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as
to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election
or re-election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or
employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation's stock which are beneficially owned (as defined in Rule
l3d-3 under the 1934 Act) by such person on the date of such

nominated and, if elected, to serving as a director, and (v) any other
information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies with respect to nominees for election as
directors, or is otherwise required, in such case pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act and (b) as to the stockholder giving
the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, of such stockholder and (ii) the class and number
of shares of the Corporation's stock which are beneficially owned (as
defined in Rule l3d-3 under the 1934 Act) by such stockholder. At the
request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by or at the
recommendation of the Board of Directors for election as a director
shall promptly furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation the
information required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice of
nomination which pertains to the nominee.
        The presiding officer of the meeting shall determine and
declare at the meeting whether the nomination was made in accordance
with the terms of this Section. If the presiding officer determines
that the nomination was made in accordance with the terms of this
Section, he shall so declare at the meeting. If the presiding officer
determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the terms
of this Section, he shall so declare at the meeting and the defective
nomination shall be disregarded.
        Ballots bearing the names of all the persons who have been
nominated for election as directors at a meeting in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section shall be provided for use at the
meeting.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
1934 Act and the rules and regulation thereunder with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section.
ARTICLE III
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
        Section 3.1. Powers. The property, affairs, and business of the
Corporation shall be managed by the Board of Directors, which may
exercise all the powers of the Corporation except those powers vested
solely in the stockholders of the Corporation by statute, by the
Articles of Incorporation, or by these By-Laws. [MGCL subsection 2-401]
        Section 3.2. Power to Issue and Sell Stock. The Board of
Directors may from time to time authorize by resolution the issuance
and sale of any of the Corporation's authorized shares to such persons
as the Board of Directors shall deem advisable and such resolution
shall fix the consideration or minimum consideration for which such
shares are to be issued, or a formula or method pursuant to which such
consideration is to be fixed and determined, and shall include a fair
description of any consideration other than money and a statement of
the actual value of such consideration as then determined by the Board
of Directors or a statement that such consideration is or will be not
less than a stated sum. [MGCL subsectionsubsection 2-201, 2-203]
        Section 3.3. Power to Declare Dividends.
        (a)    The Board of Directors, from time to time as they may
deem advisable to the extent permitted by applicable law, may declare
and pay dividends in cash or other property of the Corporation, out of
any source available for dividends, to the stockholders according to
their respective rights and interests. [MGCL subsection 2-309]
        (b)    The Board of Directors shall cause to be accompanied by
a written statement any dividend payment wholly or partly from any
source other than
           (i)    the Corporation's accumulated undistributed net
income (determined in accordance with good accounting practice and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission then in
effect) and not including profits or losses realized upon the sale of
securities or other properties; or
           (ii)   the Corporation's net income so determined for the
current or preceding fiscal year. [MGCL subsection 2-309; ICA
subsection 19(a)]
        Such statement shall adequately disclose the source or sources
of such payment and the basis of calculation, and shall be in such form
as the Securities and Exchange Commission may prescribe.
        (c)    Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section
3.3, the Board of Directors may at any time declare and distribute pro
rata among the stockholders a stock dividend out of the Corporation's
authorized but unissued shares of stock to the extent permitted by
applicable law, including any shares previously purchased by the
Corporation, provided that such dividend shall not be distributed in
shares of any class with respect to any shares of a different class.
[MGCL subsection 2-309(e)]
        Section 3.4. Number and Term. The Board of Directors shall
consist of such number of Directors, not less than three nor more than
ten, as may be specified by resolution adopted by at least the majority
of the entire Board of Directors, provided that at least 40% of the
entire Board of Directors shall be persons who are not interested
persons of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940. The Directors shall be divided into three classes, and shall be
designated as Class 1, Class II, and Class III Directors, respectively.
The Class I Directors shall originally consist of three Directors who
shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 1988 and
shall serve for a term of office that expires at the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held in 1989. The Class II Directors shall
originally consist of three Directors who shall be elected at the
annual meeting of stockholders held in 1988 and shall serve for a term
of office that expires at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held
in 1990. The Class III Directors shall originally consist of three
Directors who shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders to
be held in 1988 and shall serve for a term of office that expires at
the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1991. After expiration
of the terms of office specified for the Directors elected at such 1988
annual meeting, the Directors of each class shall serve for terms of
three years, or, when filling a vacancy, for the remainder of the full
term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, and until
their successors are elected and have qualified pursuant to MGCL
Section 3-804(c) as amended. [MGCL Section 2-402, ICA Section 10(a),
MGCL Section 3-804(c)]
        Section 3.5. Election. At the first annual meeting of
stockholders and at each annual meeting thereafter, Directors shall be
elected by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. [MGCL subsection 2-
404]
        Section 3.6. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.
Vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be subject to and shall be
filled in accordance with MGCL Section 3-804(c).  Accordingly, if any
vacancies shall occur in the Board of Directors by reason of death,
resignation, or removal, or if the authorized number of Directors shall
be increased, the Directors then in office shall continue to act, and
such vacancies may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority
of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, and any
director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder
of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy
occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies; provided,
however, that immediately after filling such vacancy, at least two-
thirds (2/3) of the Directors then holding office shall have been
elected to such office by the stockholders of the Corporation. In the
event that at any time, other than the time preceding the first annual
stockholders' meeting, less than a majority of the Directors of the
Corporation holding office at that time were elected by the
stockholders, a meeting of the stockholders shall be held promptly and
in any event within 60 days for the purpose of electing Directors to
fill any existing vacancies in the Board of Directors unless the
Securities and Exchange Commission shall by order extend such period.
[MGCL subsection 2-407; ICA subsection 16]
        Section 3.7. Removal. At any meeting of stockholders duly
called and at which a quorum is present, the stockholders may, by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast for the election of Directors, remove any Director or Directors
from office, with cause, and may elect a successor or successors to
fill any resulting vacancies for the unexpired terms of the removed
Directors. [MGCL Section 2-406]
        Section 3.8. Annual and Regular Meetings. The annual meeting of
the Board of Directors for choosing officers and transacting other
proper business shall be held at such time and place as the Board may
determine. The Board of Directors from time to time may provide by
resolution for the holding of regular meetings and fix their time and
place within or outside the State of Maryland. Notice of such annual
and regular meetings need not be in writing, provided that written
notice of any change in the time or place of such meetings shall be
sent promptly, in the manner provided in Section 3.9 of this Article
III for notice of special meetings, to each Director not present at the
meeting at which such change was made. Members of the Board of
Directors or any committee designated thereby may participate in a
meeting of such Board or committee by means of a conference telephone
or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time and
participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a
meeting. [MGCL subsection 2-409]
        Section 3.9. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at any time or place and for any purpose when
called by the Chairman of the Board or by a majority of the Directors.
Notice of special meetings, stating the time and place, shall be (1)
mailed to each Director at his residence or regular place of business
at least three days before the day on which a special meeting is to be
held or (2) delivered to him personally or transmitted to him by
telegraph, cable or other communication leaving a visual record at
least one day before the meeting. [MGCL subsection 2-409(b)]
        Section 3.10. Waiver of Notice. No notice of any meeting need
be given to any Director who is present at the meeting or who waives
notice of such meeting in writing (which waiver shall be filed with the
records of such meeting), whether before or after the time of the
meeting. [MGCL subsection 2-409(c)]
        Section 3.11. Quorum and Voting. At all meetings of the Board
of Directors, the presence of a majority of the number of Directors
then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the Directors
present may adjourn the meeting, from time to time, until a quorum
shall be present. The action of a majority of the Directors present at
a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the Board
of Directors, unless the concurrence of a greater proportion is
required for such action by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by
these By-Laws, provided that no action shall be taken without the
affirmative vote of 75 % of the Directors, with respect to the
following matters:
    (i)    a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into,
or the sale of substantially all of the Corporation's assets to, any
other company;
    (ii)   the dissolution of the Corporation;
    (iii)  the election of officers and the compensation of directors
and officers; or (iv)   the declaration that an amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation is advisable, if such amendment would cause
any stock of the Corporation to be a "redeemable security" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. [MGCL subsection 2-408]
        Section 3.12. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of
any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a written
consent to such action is signed by all members of the Board or of such
committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with
the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. [MGCL subsection
2-408(c)]
        Section 3.13. Compensation of Directors. Directors shall be
entitled to receive such compensation from the Corporation for their
services as may from time to time be determined by resolution of the
Board of Directors.
ARTICLE IIIA
EMERITUS FOUNDING DIRECTORS

        Section 3A.1.	Number; Qualification; Term:  The Board of
Directors may from time to time designate and appoint one or more
directors who have served on the Board of Directors since the
Corporation's inception to the position of "emeritus founding
director". Each emeritus founding director shall serve for such term as
shall be specified in the resolution of the Board of Directors
appointing him or until his earlier resignation or removal.  An
emeritus founding director may be removed from such position with or
without cause by the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors given
at any regular meeting or special meeting.
        Section 3A.2. Duties; Remuneration:  An emeritus founding
director shall be invited to attend all meetings of the Board of
Directors but shall not be present at any portion of a meeting from
which the emeritus founding director shall have been excluded by vote
of the directors.  An emeritus founding director shall not be a
"Director" or "officer" within the meaning of the Corporation's
