ITEM 29. INDEMNIFICATION

     Article V of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides
as follows:

     5.1 No Personal Liability of Shareholders, Trustees, etc. No Shareholder of
the Trust shall be subject in such capacity to any personal liability whatsoever
to any Person in connection with Trust Property or the acts, obligations or
affairs of the Trust. Shareholders shall have the same limitation of personal
liability as is extended to stockholders of a private corporation for profit
incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law. No Trustee or officer
of the Trust shall be subject in such capacity to any personal liability
whatsoever to any Person, save only liability to the Trust or its Shareholders
arising from bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless
disregard for his duty to such Person; and, subject to the foregoing exception,
all such Persons shall look solely to the Trust Property for satisfaction of
claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust. If any
Shareholder, Trustee or officer, as such, of the Trust, is made a party to any
suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability, subject to the foregoing
exception, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to any personal liability.
Any repeal or modification of this Section 5.1 shall not adversely affect any
right or protection of a Trustee or officer of the Trust existing at the time of
such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to
such repeal or modification.

     5.2 Mandatory Indemnification. (a) The Trust hereby agrees to indemnify
each person who at any time serves as a Trustee or officer of the Trust (each
such person being an "indemnitee") against any liabilities and expenses,
including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines
and penalties, and reasonable counsel fees reasonably incurred by such
indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or
other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative
or investigative body in which he may be or may have been involved as a party or
otherwise or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting in
any capacity set forth in this Article V by reason of his having acted in any
such capacity, except


                                      C-2


with respect to any matter as to which he shall not have acted in good faith in
the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Trust or,
in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which he shall have had
reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, provided, however,
that no indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder against any liability to any
person or any expense of such indemnitee arising by reason of (i) willful
misfeasance, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence, or (iv) reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his position (the conduct referred to
in such clauses (i) through (iv) being sometimes referred to herein as
"disabling conduct"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as
plaintiff, indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such
action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee (1) was authorized by a
majority of the Trustees or (2) was instituted by the indemnitee to enforce his
or her rights to indemnification hereunder in a case in which the indemnitee is
found to be entitled to such indemnification. The rights to indemnification set
forth in this Declaration shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
Trustee or officer of the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of his or her
heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. No amendment or
restatement of this Declaration or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit
or eliminate any of the benefits provided to any person who at any time is or
was a Trustee or officer of the Trust or otherwise entitled to indemnification
hereunder in respect of any act or omission that occurred prior to such
amendment, restatement or repeal.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be made
hereunder unless there has been a determination (i) by a final decision on the
merits by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction before whom the issue
of entitlement to indemnification hereunder was brought that such indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification hereunder or, (ii) in the absence of such a
decision, by (1) a majority vote of a quorum of those Trustees who are neither
"interested persons" of the Trust (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the
Investment Company Act) nor parties to the proceeding ("Disinterested Non-Party
Trustees"), that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or (2)
if such quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable, if such majority so
directs, independent legal counsel in a written opinion concludes that the
indemnitee should be entitled to indemnification hereunder. All determinations
to make advance payments in connection with the expense of defending any
proceeding shall be authorized and made in accordance with the immediately
succeeding paragraph (c) below.

     (c) The Trust shall make advance payments in connection with the expenses
of defending any action with respect to which indemnification might be sought
hereunder if the Trust receives a written affirmation by the indemnitee of the
indemnitee's good faith belief that the standards of conduct necessary for
indemnification have been met and a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust
unless it is subsequently determined that the indemnitee is entitled to such
indemnification and if a majority of the Trustees determine that the applicable
standards of conduct necessary for indemnification appear to have been met. In
addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met: (i) the
indemnitee shall provide adequate security for his undertaking, (ii) the Trust
shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or
(iii) a majority of a quorum of the Disinterested Non-Party Trustees, or if a
majority vote of such quorum so direct, independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, shall conclude, based on a review of readily available facts (as
opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is substantial reason to
believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to
indemnification.

     (d) The rights accruing to any indemnitee under these provisions shall not
exclude any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under
this Declaration, the By-Laws of the Trust, any statute, agreement, vote of
stockholders or Trustees who are "disinterested persons" (as defined in Section
2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) or any other right to which he or she
may be lawfully entitled.

     (e) Subject to any limitations provided by the Investment Company Act and
this Declaration, the Trust shall have the power and authority to indemnify and
provide for the advance payment of expenses to employees, agents and other
Persons providing services to the Trust or serving in any capacity at the
request of the Trust to the full extent corporations organized under the
Delaware


                                      C-3


General Corporation Law may indemnify or provide for the advance payment of
expenses for such Persons, provided that such indemnification has been approved
by a majority of the Trustees.

     5.3 No Bond Required of Trustees. No Trustee shall, as such, be obligated
to give any bond or other security for the performance of any of his duties
hereunder.

     5.4 No Duty of Investigation; Notice in Trust Instruments, etc. No
purchaser, lender, transfer agent or other person dealing with the Trustees or
with any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be bound to make any
inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction purporting to be made by the
Trustees or by said officer, employee or agent or be liable for the application
of money or property paid, loaned, or delivered to or on the order of the
Trustees or of said officer, employee or agent. Every obligation, contract,
undertaking, instrument, certificate, Share, other security of the Trust, and
every other act or thing whatsoever executed in connection with the Trust shall
be conclusively taken to have been executed or done by the executors thereof
only in their capacity as Trustees under this Declaration or in their capacity
as officers, employees or agents of the Trust. The Trustees may maintain
insurance for the protection of the Trust Property, its Shareholders, Trustees,
officers, employees and agents in such amount as the Trustees shall deem
adequate to cover possible tort liability, and such other insurance as the
Trustees in their sole judgment shall deem advisable or is required by the
Investment Company Act.

     5.5 Reliance on Experts, etc. Each Trustee and officer or employee of the
Trust shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully and completely
justified and protected with regard to any act or any failure to act resulting
from reliance in good faith upon the books of account or other records of the
Trust, upon an opinion of counsel, or upon reports made to the Trust by any of
the Trust's officers or employees or by any advisor, administrator, manager,
distributor, selected dealer, accountant, appraiser or other expert or
consultant selected with reasonable care by the Trustees, officers or employees
of the Trust, regardless of whether such counsel or expert may also be a
Trustee.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act, may be
terminated to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Trust, pursuant
to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue. Reference is made to Article of the
underwriting agreement attached as Exhibit (h), which is incorporated herein by
reference.
