Gentlemen:
We have examined originals or certified, conformed or photostatic copies, the
authenticity of which has been established to our satisfaction, of all
agreements, instruments, certificates of public officials and corporate
officers of the Company and such other documents, certificates,
records, authorizations and proceedings as we have deemed relevant and
necessary as the basis for the opinions expressed herein. Included in the
documents which we have examined is a Notice on Form 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 dated July 17, 1996 (the "Rule 24f-2 Notice"). In all such
examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original and
certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed or photostatic
copies.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of capital stock,
the registration of which the Rule 24f-2 Notice makes definite in the number,
were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Very truly yours,
REISMAN & ASSOCIATES, P.A.
