Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion in connection with the
registration by the Corporation of an additional 156,364 shares
of its capital stock pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No. 84
to the Corporation's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933 (File No. 2-10415). The subject Post-effective Amendment
will be filed pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule 485 and become
effective pursuant to said Rule immediately upon filing.
As counsel we have participated in the organization of the
Corporation and its registration under the Investment Company
Act. We have also participated in the preparation and filing of
the amended Corporation's registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 referred to above.
Further, we have examined and are familiar with the Charter
of the Corporation, its Bylaws and other corporate records and
documents deemed relevant.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Corporation has been duly organized and it is
legally existing under the laws of the State of Maryland.
2. The Corporation is authorized to issue 2,000,000,000
shares of capital stock of a par value of $0.001 per share.
3. The authorized and unissued capital stock of the
Corporation when issued in the manner described in the prospectus
comprising a part of the Corporation's registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933 for consideration equal to or
exceeding its par value and not less than its net asset value as
required by the Charter of the Corporation will be legally issued
and outstanding Capital stock of the Corporation and will be
fully paid and non-assessable.
4. Post-effective Amendment No. 84 does not contain
disclosures which would render it ineligible to become effective
pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule 485.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of
the Corporation's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933 and as part of any application or registration statement
filed under the securities laws of the States of the United
States.
We further consent to the reference to this opinion and the
reference to us as Legal Counsel to the Corporation in the
prospectus, registration statements and applications.
Very truly yours,
