This opinion is addressed to you in connection with a filing by the Funds of a notice (the "Notice") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In that connection, we have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Based thereon, we advise you that, in our opinion, the 4,311,714 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, issued by the Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as set forth in the Notice, were legally issued, have been fully paid, and are nonassessable, if issued and sold upon the terms and in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement of the Funds referred to above. Very truly yours, /s/ Dorsey & Whitney KLP -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
