pursuant to Rule 24f-2. The Notice is to be filed to make definite the
registration of the shares of common stock sold by each Portfolio of the
Company under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), pursuant to the
Rule during such period. You have also informed us that all of such shares,
including the 13,804,594 shares issued in connection with dividend investment

relating thereto in the Registration Statement of the Company under the 1933

aforementioned Rule 24f-2 Notice and as an exhibit to the Company's
Registration Statement under the 1933 Act and to the reference to us in the
prospectus of the Company as legal counsel who have passed upon the legality
of the offering of the Company's 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 common stock of the Company is offered for
sale.
Very truly yours,
