ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE CHARTER

A.  Composition.  The Administration Committee shall be composed of all

Company Act of 1940 of John Hancock Adviser LLC or of the Trust (the

ANNEX A

General Criteria

1.  Nominees should have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to
high ethical standards.

2.  Nominees should have demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability
to exercise sound judgments in matters that relate to the current and
long-term objectives of the Fund(s) and should be willing and able to
contribute positively to the decision-making process of the Fund(s).

3.  Nominees should have a commitment to understand the Fund(s), and the
responsibilities of a Trustee/Director of an investment company and to
regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its committees.

4.  Nominees should have the ability to understand the sometimes conflicting
interests of the various constituencies of the Fund, including shareholders
and the management company, and to act in the interests of all shareholders.

5.  Nominees should not have, nor appear to have, a conflict of interest that
would impair the nominee's ability to represent the interests of all the
shareholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of a director /trustee.

6.  Nominees shall not be discriminated against on the basis of race,
religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability or any other
basis proscribed by law.  The value of diversity on the Board should be
considered.

Application of Criteria to Existing

The renomination of existing Trustees should not be viewed as automatic, but
should be based on continuing qualification under the criteria set forth
above.  In addition, the Administrative Committee shall consider the existing
trustees' performance on the Board and any committee.

Review of Shareholder Nominations

Any shareholder recommendation must be submitted in compliance with all of the
pertinent provisions of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
to be considered by the Administration Committee.  In evaluating a nominee
recommended by a shareholder, the Administration Committee, in addition to the
criteria discussed above, may consider the objectives of the shareholder in
submitting that nomination and whether such objectives are consistent with the
interests of all shareholders. If the Board determines to include a
shareholder's candidate among the slate of nominees, the candidate's name will
be placed on the Fund's proxy card.  If the Administration Committee or the
Board determines not to include such candidate among the Board's designated
nominees and the shareholder has satisfied the requirements of Rule 14a-8, the
shareholder's candidate will be treated as a nominee of the shareholder who
originally nominated the candidate.  In that case, the candidate will not be
named on the proxy card distributed with the Fund's proxy statement.

As long as an existing Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of the
Administration Committee, to satisfy the criteria listed above, the Committee
generally would favor the re-nomination of an existing Trustee rather than a
new candidate.  Consequently, while the Administration Committee will consider
nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as trustees, the Administration
Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on the
Board or the Administration Committee determines that the selection of a new
or additional Independent Trustee is in the best interests of the Fund.  In
the event that a vacancy arises or a change in Board membership is determined
to be advisable, the Administration Committee will, in addition to any
shareholder recommendations, consider candidates identified by other means,
including candidates proposed by members of the Administration Committee.
While it has not done so in the past, the Administration Committee may retain
a consultant to assist the Committee in a search for a qualified candidate

Communications from shareholders

Shareholders may communicate with the members of the Board as a group or
individually.  Any such communication should be sent to the Board or an
individual Trustee c/o the secretary of the Fund at the address on the notice
of this meeting.  The Secretary may determine not to forward any letter to the
members of the Board that does not relate to the business of the Fund.
