The Boards believe that the significance of each Board member's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience that is important for any errorone Board member may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single Board member, or particular factor, being indicative of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered byBoard effectiveness. However, the Boards believe that Board members need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund except for any liability by

In addition to the general experience, qualifications, attributes or skills described above, a Fund's Nominating Committee (see "Fund Board Committees" below) may consider whether a potential nominee's professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race or national origin, would provide beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board's membership and collective attributes. Such considerations will vary based on the Board's existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of a potential nominee's overall qualifications relative to diversity considerations. The Funds' Nominating Committee Charter contains certain other factors considered by the Committee in identifying and evaluating potential nominees (including any nominees recommended by shareholders as provided in the performance of their obligations
and duties under the Management Agreement or the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as

reinvestment of the Fund's assets. Under the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement,
Dreyfus (and not the Fund) is responsible for paying the sub-advisory fee to

liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by
the Fund or Dreyfus in the matters to which the Sub-Advisory Agreement relates,

gross negligence in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard in
the performance of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty, (1) on
60 days' notice, by Dreyfus, the Company's Board or by vote of the holders of a
majority of the Fund's shares, or, (2) upon not less than 90 days' notice to the
Company and Dreyfus, by Newton. The Sub-Advisory Agreement will terminate

Upon reaching age 75, Emeritus status is mandatory and becomes effective immediately, unless the Board member chooses to retire at that time. The 5-year pre-requisite for service as a Fund Board member will not be waived and any such Board member who reaches age 75 but has not served as a Board member of a Fund for at least 5 years will be required to retire at that time.
An Emeritus Board member is permitted to serve as such for a maximum of 10 years from the date Emeritus status is achieved.

Emeritus Board members are entitled to receive an annual retainer of one-half the amount paid as a retainer at the time the Board member achieves Emeritus status and one-half the per meeting attendance fee in effect on the date of the meeting attended by the Emeritus Board member (the "Emeritus Fee"). For a Board member whose first service on the Board of any fund in The Dreyfus Family of Funds occurs after September 30, 2008, he or she will receive 50% of the Emeritus Fee, plus an additional 10% of the Emeritus Fee for each year of service between six and ten years as a Board member.

Voting Information
Each Fund will bear its pro rata share of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000,cost of soliciting proxies based on the net assets of the Fund. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, and each Fund may pay persons holding Fund shares in their names or those of their nominees for their expenses in sending soliciting materials to their principals. Certain Funds may retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies primarily by contacting shareholders by telephone, which is expected to cost approximately $46,000, plus any out of pocket expenses, such cost to be borne pro rata among such Funds based on their net assets.
Authorizations to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions in accordance with procedures designed to authenticate the shareholder's identity. In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited (as opposed to where the shareholder calls the toll-free number directly to vote), the shareholder will be asked to provide or confirm certain identifiable information and to confirm that the shareholder has received the Proxy Statement and proxy card. Within 72 hours of receiving a shareholder's telephonic or electronically transmitted voting instructions, a confirmation will be sent to the shareholder to ensure that the vote has been taken in accordance with the shareholder's instructions and to provide a telephone number to call immediately if the shareholder's instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon, and if no voting instructions are given, shares will be voted "FOR" the proposal. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting to the Fund paida written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy, by calling the Transfer Agent

If a proxy is properly executed properly and returned accompanied by instructions to withhold authority to vote or represents a broker "non-vote" (that is, a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that such person has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote Fund shares on a particular matter with respect to whichand the broker or nominee does not have a discretionary power) or is marked with an abstention
(collectively,power to vote on the proposal) (together, "abstentions"), the Fund shares represented thereby will be considered to be present at the meetingMeeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will not constitute a vote "for" or "against""FOR" a matterNominee.
With respect to Dreyfus-sponsored individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"), the Individual Retirement Custodial Account Agreement governing the IRAs requires The Bank of New York Mellon (the "Bank"), as custodian of the IRAs, to vote Fund shares held in such IRA accounts in accordance with the IRA shareholder's instructions. However, if no voting instructions are received, the Bank may vote Fund shares held in the IRA in the same proportions as the Fund shares for which voting instructions are received from other Dreyfus IRA shareholders. Therefore, if an IRA shareholder does not provide voting instructions prior to the Meeting, the Bank will vote the IRA shares in the same proportions as it votes the shares for which properly conveyed instructions are timely received from other Dreyfus IRA shareholders.
Shares of DSIF and DVIF have been offered only to separate accounts established by insurance companies ("Participating Insurance Companies") to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (collectively referred to as the "Policies").

However, pursuant to applicable laws, Fund shares held in a separate account which are attributable to Policies will be disregardedvoted by the relevant Participating Insurance Company in determiningaccordance with instructions received from the "votes cast"holders of the Policies ("Policyowners"). Participating Insurance Companies have agreed to solicit instructions from Policyowners holding Fund shares in the relevant separate account as of the record date of the Meeting and to vote by proxy the shares at the Meeting according to such instructions. To be effective, voting instructions must be received by Participating Insurance Companies prior to the close of business on an issue.
InAugust 2, 2012. Such instructions may be revoked at any time prior to the event thatMeeting either by written notice of revocation or another voting instructions form delivered to the relevant Participating Insurance Company. Participating Insurance Companies will vote by proxy (i) Fund shares as to which no timely instructions are received, (ii) Fund shares owned exclusively by the relevant Participating Insurance Company or its affiliates and (iii) Fund shares held in the separate account representing charges imposed by the relevant Participating Insurance Company against the separate account in the same proportions as the voting instructions received from Policyowners. Additional information regarding voting instruction rights is provided in the prospectus or statement of additional information for the Policies.

received,Fund, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the meetingMeeting with respect to that Fund to permit further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to

proposals, the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative
votes actually cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information
to be provided to stockholders with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares affected by the adjournment that are represented at the meetingMeeting in person or by proxy.

Dear Sirs:
As you are aware, Dreyfus Premier International Funds, Inc. (the
"Fund"), currently consisting11, 2012SCHEDULE 1
The following is a list of
five series, desires to employ the capital of
its series named on Schedule 1 hereto, as such Schedule may be revised from time
to time (each, a "Series"), by investing and reinvesting the same in investments
of the type and in accordance with the limitations specified in thetimes at which each Fund's
charter documents and in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as from time to time in effect, copies of which have been orMeeting will be
submitted
to you, and in such manner and to such extent as from time to time may be
approved by the Fund's Board. The Fund intends to employ The Dreyfus Corporation
(the "Adviser") to act as its investment adviser pursuant to a written agreement
(the "Management Agreement"), a copy of which has been furnished to you. The
Adviser desires to employ you to act as each Series' sub-investment adviser.
In connection with your serving as sub-investment adviser to the
Series, it is understood that from time to time you will employ or associate
with yourself such person or persons as you may believe to be particularly
fitted to assist you in the performance of this Agreement. Such person or
persons may be officers or employees who are employed by both you and the Fund.
The compensation of such person or persons shall be paid by you and no
obligation may be incurred on the Fund's behalf in any such respect.
Subject to the supervision and approval of the Adviser, you will
provide investment management of each Series' portfolio in accordance with the
Series' investment objectives and policies as stated in the Fund's Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information as from time to time in effect. In
connection therewith, you will supervise each Series' investments and conduct a
continuous program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and
reinvestment of such Series' assets. You will furnish to the Adviser or the Fund
such statistical information, withheld. With respect to
those Funds that are series funds, the
investments which a Series may
hold or contemplate purchasing, as the Adviser or the Fund may reasonably
request. The Fund and the Adviser wish to be informed of important developments
materially affecting any Series' portfolio and shall expect you, on your own
initiative, to furnish to the Fund or the Adviser from time to time such
information as you may believe appropriate for this purpose.
You shall exercise your best judgment in rendering the services to be
provided hereunder, and the Adviser agrees as an inducement to your undertaking
the same that you shall not be liable hereunder for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by one or more Series or the Adviser,
provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect
you against any liability to the Adviser, the Fund or a Series' security holders
to which you would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of your duties hereunder, or by
reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder.
In consideration of services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the
Adviser will pay you, on the first business day of each month, out of the
management fee it receives and only to the extent thereof, a fee at the rate set
forth opposite each Series' name on Schedule 1 hereto. Net asset value shall be
computed on such days and at such time or times as described in the Fund's
then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fee for the
period from the date following the commencement of sales of a Series' shares
(after any sales are made to the Fund's sponsor) to the end of the month during
which such sales shall have been commenced or, if a Series is added to this
Agreement subsequent to the commencement of sales of such Series shares, for the
period from the effective date of this Agreement with respect to such Series to
the end of the month in which this Agreement became effective with respect to
such Series, shall be pro-rated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full monthly period, and upon any termination of this Agreement
before the end of any month, the fee for such part of a month shall be pro-rated
according to the proportion which such period bears to the full monthly period
and shall be payable within 10 business days of the date of termination of this
Agreement.
For the purpose of determining fees payable to you, the value of each
Series' net assets shall be computed in the manner specified in the Fund's
charter documents for the computation of the value of a Series' net assets.
You will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of your
services under this Agreement. All other expenses to be incurred in the
operation of the Series (other than those borne by the Adviser) will be borne by
the Fund, except to the extent specifically assumed by you. The expenses to be
borne by the Fund include, without limitation, the following: organizational
costs, taxes, interest, loan commitment fees, interest and distributions paid on
securities sold short, brokerage fees and commissions, if any, fees of Board
members who are not officers, directors, employees or holders of 5% or more of
the outstanding voting securities of you or the Adviser or any affiliate of you
or the Adviser, Securities and Exchange Commission fees and state Blue Sky
qualification fees, advisory fees, charges of custodians, transfer and dividend
disbursing agents' fees, certain insurance premiums, industry association fees,
outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of independent pricing services,
costs of maintaining the Fund's existence, costs attributable to investor
services (including, without limitation, telephone and personnel expenses),
costs of preparing and printing prospectuses and statements of additional
information for regulatory purposes and for distribution to existing
stockholders, costs of stockholders' reports and meetings, and any extraordinary
expenses.
The Adviser understands that you now act, and that from time to time
hereafter you may act, as investment adviser to one or more investment companies
and fiduciary or other managed accounts, and the Adviser has no objection to
your so acting, provided that when purchase or sale of securities of the same
issuer is suitable for the investment objectives of two or more companies or
accounts managed by you which have available funds for investment, the available
securities will be allocated in a manner believed by you to be equitable to each
company or account. It is recognized that in some cases this procedure may
adversely affect the price paid or received by one or more Series or the size of
the position obtainable for or disposed of by one or more Series.
In addition, it is understood that the persons employed by you to
assist in the performance of your duties hereunder will not devote their full
time to such services and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or
restrict your right or the right of any of your affiliates to engage in and
devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever
kind or nature.
You shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or
for any loss suffered by a Series or the Adviser in connection with the matters
to which this Agreement relates, except for a loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on your part in the performance of
your duties or from reckless disregard by you of your obligations and duties
under this Agreement. Any person, even thoughlist also
your officer, director,
partner, employee or agent, who may be or become an officer, Board member,
employee or agent of the Fund, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the
Fund or acting on any business of the Fund, to be rendering such services to or
acting solely for the Fund and not as your officer, director, partner, employee,
or agent or one under your control or direction even though paid by you.
As to each Series, this Agreement shall continue until the date set
forth opposite such Series' name on Schedule 1 hereto (the "Reapproval Date"),
and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods ending
on the day of each year set forth opposite the Series' name on Schedule 1 hereto
(the "Reapproval Day"), provided such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by (i) the Fund's Board or (ii) vote of a majority (as defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of such Series' outstanding
voting securities, provided that in either event its continuance also is
approved by a majority of the Fund's Board members who are not "interested
persons" (as defined in said Act) of any party to this Agreement, by vote cast
in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. As to
each Series, this Agreement is terminable without penalty (i) by the Adviser
upon 60 days' notice to you, (ii) by the Fund's Board or by vote of the holders
of a majority of such Series' shares upon 60 days' notice to you, or (iii) by
you upon not less than 90 days' notice to the Fund and the Adviser. This
Agreement also will terminate automatically, as to the relevant Series, in the
event of its assignment (as defined in said Act). In addition, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if the Management Agreement terminates for any
reason, this Agreement shall terminate effective upon the date the Management
Agreement terminates.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, will you
kindly so indicate by signing and returning to us the enclosed copy hereof.
Very truly yours,
THE DREYFUS CORPORATION

______________
* | For Service Affiliates (i.e., Dreyfus and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Dreyfus that provides ongoing services to the Fund), none of such fees required pre-approval by the Audit Committee. |
Note: None of the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or All Other Fees referenced above were performed pursuant to waiver of pre-approval by a stockholderFund's Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. None of the hours expended on the independent auditors' engagement to audit a Fund's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the independent auditors' full-time, permanent employees.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Each Fund's Audit Committee has established policies and procedures (the "Policy") for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of the independent auditors' engagements for audit and non-audit services to the Fund and non-audit services to Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. The pre-approved services in the Policy can include pre-approved audit services, pre-approved audit-related services, pre-approved tax services and pre-approved all other services. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the independent auditors' independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.
Independent Auditor Independence. Each Fund's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that beneficially owns, directly
or indirectly, morewere rendered to Service Affiliates which did not require pre-approval is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors' independence.

No matter how many shares you own, your vote is important. Voting can
also help the Fund save money. To hold(the "Board") shall select the members of the Committee and shall designate the Chairperson of the Committee. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Committee shall select and nominate persons for election or appointment by the Board as Directors of the Fund.
EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL NOMINEES
The Board believes that Directors need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties. In evaluating potential Director nominees (including any nominees recommended by shareholders as provided below) in light of this standard, and to address certain legal and other requirements and considerations associated with composition of the Board, the Committee shall consider, among other factors it may deem relevant:
| · | the character and integrity of the person; |
| | |
| · | whether or not the person is qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director of the Fund; |
| | |
| · | whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her service on the Board; |
| | |
| · | whether nomination of the person would be consistent with Fund policy and applicable laws and regulations regarding the number and percentage of Independent Directors on the Board; |
| | |
| · | whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related fund complexes; |
| | |
| · | whether or not the person is willing to serve and is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties and responsibilities of a Director of the Fund; and |
| | |
| · | the educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., medicine, accounting or law), public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board) or as an executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. |
In addition, the Committee may consider whether a meeting,potential nominee's professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race or national origin, would provide beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board's membership and collective attributes. Such considerations will vary based on the Board's existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of a quorumpotential nominee's overall qualifications relative to diversity considerations.
While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of Directors, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by Fund shareholders. The Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from shareholders sent to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o The Dreyfus Corporation Legal Department, 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor East, New York, New York 10166. A nomination submission must include all information relating to the recommended nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxy statements for the election of Directors, as well as information sufficient to evaluate the factors listed above. Nomination submissions must be represented. Voting today can saveaccompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders, and such additional information must be provided regarding the recommended nominee as reasonably requested by the Committee.
NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
After a determination by the Committee that a person should be selected and nominated as a Director of the Fund, the expense of another
solicitationCommittee shall present its recommendation to the full Board for proxies requiredits consideration.
