PART C. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

Article IV of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (Exhibit (a)(1) hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference) provides in effect that the Registrant will indemnify its officers and trustees under certain circumstances. However, in accordance with Section 17(h) and 17(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and its own terms, said Article of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust does not protect any person against any liability to the Registrant or its shareholders to which such Trustee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Each of the trustees who is not an “interested person” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940) of Registrant (a “Non-interested Trustee”) has entered into an indemnification agreement with Registrant, which agreement provides that the Registrant shall indemnify the Non-interested Trustee against certain liabilities which such Trustee may incur while acting in the capacity as a trustee, officer or employee of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law, now or in the future, and requires indemnification and advancement of expenses unless prohibited by law. The indemnification agreement cannot be altered without the consent of the Non-interested Trustee and is not affected by amendment of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust. In addition, the indemnification agreement adopts certain presumptions and procedures which may make the process of indemnification and advancement of expenses more timely, efficient and certain. In accordance with Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the indemnification agreement does not protect a Non-interested Trustee against any liability to the Registrant or its shareholders to which such Trustee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

The Registrant has purchased insurance policies insuring its officers and trustees against certain liabilities which such officers and trustees may incur while acting in such capacities and providing reimbursement to the Registrant for sums which it may be permitted or required to pay to its officers and trustees by way of indemnification against such liabilities, subject to certain deductibles.

On April 5, 2002, Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. (“Scudder”), the investment advisor, now known as Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (“DIMA”), was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG, not including certain U.K. Operations (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Trustees’ evaluation of the Transaction, Deutsche Bank agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Registrant and the trustees who were not “interested persons” of Scudder, Deutsche Bank or Registrant (the “Non-interested Trustees”) for and against any liability and claims and expenses based upon or arising from, whether in whole or in part, or directly or indirectly, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made to the Independent Trustees by Deutsche Bank in connection with the Non-interested Trustees’ consideration of the Transaction, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

DIMA, the investment advisor, has agreed, subject to applicable law and regulation, to indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant against any loss, damage, liability and expense, including, without limitation, the advancement and payment, as incurred, of reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including counsel to the Registrant and counsel to the Non-interested Trustees) and consultants, whether retained by the Registrant or the Non-interested Trustees, and other customary costs and expenses incurred by the Registrant in connection with any litigation or regulatory action related to possible improper market timing or other improper trading activity or possible improper marketing and sales activity in the Registrant (“Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions”). In the event that this indemnification is unavailable to the Registrant for any reason, then DIMA has agreed to contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Registrant as a result of any loss, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of DIMA and the Registrant with respect to the matters which resulted in such loss, damage, liability or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, if

3

no final determination is made in such action or proceeding as to the relative fault of DIMA and the Registrant, then DIMA shall pay the entire amount of such loss, damage, liability or expense.

In recognition of its undertaking to indemnify the Registrant, DIMA has also agreed, subject to applicable law and regulation, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Non-interested Trustees against any and all loss, damage, liability and expense, including without limitation the advancement and payment as incurred of reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and consultants, and other customary costs and expenses incurred by the Non-interested Trustees, arising from the Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions, including without limitation:

1. all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by the Non-interested Trustees in connection with the Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions, and any actions that may be threatened or commenced in the future by any person (including any governmental authority), arising from or similar to the matters alleged in the Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions, including without limitation expenses related to the defense of, service as a witness in, or monitoring of such proceedings or actions;

2. all liabilities and expenses incurred by any Non-interested Trustee in connection with any judgment resulting from, or settlement of, any such proceeding, action or matter;

3. any loss or expense incurred by any Non-interested Trustee as a result of the denial of, or dispute about, any insurance claim under, or actual or purported rescission or termination of, any policy of insurance arranged by DIMA (or by a representative of DIMA acting as such, acting as a representative of the Registrant or of the Non-interested Trustees or acting otherwise) for the benefit of the Non-interested Trustee, to the extent that such denial, dispute or rescission is based in whole or in part upon any alleged misrepresentation made in the application for such policy or any other alleged improper conduct on the part of DIMA, any of its corporate affiliates, or any of their directors, officers or employees;

4. any loss or expense incurred by any Non-interested Trustee, whether or not such loss or expense is otherwise covered under the terms of a policy of insurance, but for which the Non-interested Trustee is unable to obtain advancement of expenses or indemnification under that policy of insurance, due to the exhaustion of policy limits which is due in whole or in part to DIMA or any affiliate thereof having received advancement of expenses or indemnification under that policy for or with respect to a matter which is the subject of the indemnification agreement; provided, however, the total amount which DIMA will be obligated to pay under this provision for all loss or expense, will not exceed the amount that DIMA and any of its affiliate actually receive under that policy or insurance for or with respect to a matter which is the subject of the indemnification agreement; and

5. all liabilities and expenses incurred by any Non-interested Trustee in connection with any proceeding or action to enforce his or her rights under the agreement, unless DIMA prevails on the merits of any such dispute in a final, nonappealable court order.

DIMA is not required to pay costs or expenses or provide indemnification to or for any individual Non-interested Trustee (i) with respect to any particular proceeding or action as to which the Board of the Registrant has determined that such Non-interested Trustee ultimately will not be entitled to indemnification with respect thereto, or (ii) for any liability of the Non-interested Trustee to the Registrant or its shareholders to which such Non-interested Trustee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the Non-interested Trustee’s

4

duties as a Trustee of the Registrant as determined in a final adjudication in such proceeding or action. In addition, to the extent that DIMA has paid costs or expenses under the agreement to any individual Non-interested Trustee with respect to a particular proceeding or action, and there is a final adjudication in such proceeding or action of the Non-interested Trustee’s liability to the Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the Non-interested Trustee’s duties as a Trustee of the Registrant, such Non-interested Trustee has undertaken to repay such costs or expenses to DIMA.
