On June 29, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust. During the two most recent fiscal years, PwC’s audit reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were its reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, in connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through June 29, 2007, there were no disagreements between the Trust and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the financial statements for such years. Effective June 29, 2007, Ernst & Young LLP was appointed by the audit committee of the Board of Trustees as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Trust for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007.
