We serve as legal counsel to the Fund and, as such,
have reviewed the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund, its
Bylaws, the registration statement it has filed with the SEC
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the 1933 Act, and
such minutes of the corporate proceedings and other documents as
we deem material to our opinion. Based on the foregoing, we are
of the opinion that the shares described in the first paragraph
of this letter, when issued in accordance with the prospectus of
the Fund, will be fully-paid, non-assessable and legally issued
shares of common stock of the Fund.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with
the SEC as an exhibit to the amendment to the Fund's
registration statement under the 1933 Act, and to the reference
to us in the prospectus of the Fund as legal counsel who have
passed upon the legality of the offering of such shares of common
stock. We also consent to the filing of this opinion with the
securities regulatory agencies of any states or other
jurisdictions in which the shares of common stock of the Fund are
offered for sale.
Very truly yours,
STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG
