Item 30. Indemnification
 
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law and Article X of the Registrant’s By-laws (incorporated by reference as an Exhibit 2(b) to this Registration Statement) provide for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant, and employees and agents of the Registrant as determined by the Board of Directors.  The Investment Management Agreement (incorporated by reference as an Exhibit 2(g) to this Registration Statement) provides for indemnification of Cornerstone Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser.  The Registrant’s directors and officers are insured under a standard investment company errors and omissions insurance policy covering loss incurred by reason of negligent errors and omissions committed in their official capacities.

 
 
 
 
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
Item 31. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser
 
Cornerstone Advisors, Inc. manages two other closed-end funds. A description of any other business, profession, vocation, or employment of a substantial nature in which the investment adviser, and each director, executive officer or partner of the investment adviser is or has been during the past two fiscal years, engaged in for his or her own account or in the capacity of director, officer, employee, partner or trustee, is set forth in the Statement of Additional Information contained in this Registration Statement in the section entitled “Management.”
 
Item 32. Location of Accounts and Records
 
All applicable accounts, books and documents required to be maintained by the Registrant by Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder are in the possession and custody of the Registrant’s administrator, Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, located at 350 Jericho Turnpike, Suite 206, Jericho, NY 11753.
 
Item 33. Management Services
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 34. Undertakings
 
 
1.
The Registrant undertakes to suspend the offering of its Rights until the prospectus is amended if (1) subsequent to the effective date of this registration statement, the net asset value declines more than ten percent from its net asset value as of the effective date of the registration statement or (2) the net asset value increases to an amount greater than its net proceeds as stated in the prospectus.

(b)
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Dear Mr. Rupert:

On behalf of the Fund, and pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we hereby request that the effective date of the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2 filed on October 17, 2012 and amended on November 15, 2012 and November 16, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that the Registration Statement will become effective on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), or as soon thereafter as practicable.
 
Our client has selected the Effective Date to provide the Fund sufficient time to commence and conclude the offering during its current fiscal year and within the conditions of its exemptive relief related to its managed distribution plan, as well as within the requirements of the NYSE MKT.
 
In connection with the foregoing acceleration request, the Fund hereby acknowledges that:
 
●           Should the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

●           The action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Fund from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and
 
●           The Fund may not assert the action of the Commission or its staff in declaring the Registration Statement effective as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
 
Should you have any questions or comments regarding the above, please phone me at (215) 569-5734.  Thank you for your continued assistance.
 
 
Very truly yours,
