     Item 27.  Indemnification
                ---------------

              Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X of the Declaration of
     Trust provides that the appropriate series of the Registrant will
     indemnify its Trustees and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law
     against claims and expenses asserted against or incurred by them by virtue
     of being or having been a Trustee or officer; provided that no such person
     shall be indemnified where there has been an adjudication or other deter-
     mination, as described in Article X, that such person is liable to the
     Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
     faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in
     the conduct of his or her office or did not act in good faith in the
     reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the
     Registrant.  Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X also provides


                                         C-6
<PAGE>






     that the Registrant may maintain insurance policies covering such rights
     of indemnification.  

              Additionally, "Limitation of Liability" in Article X of the
     Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees or officers of the
     Registrant shall not be personally liable to any person extending credit
     to, contracting with or having a claim against the Trust or a particular
     series thereof; and that, provided they have exercised reasonable care and
     have acted under the reasonable belief that their actions are in the best
     interest of the Registrant, the Trustees and officers shall not be liable
     for neglect or wrongdoing by them or any officer, agent, employee or
     investment adviser of the Registrant.

              Section 2 of Article XI of the Declaration of Trust additionally
     provides that, subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article XI and to
     Article X, Trustees shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes
     of fact or law, or for any act or omission in accordance with advice of
     counsel or other experts, or failing to follow such advice, with respect
     to the meaning and operation of the Declaration of Trust.

              Article IX of the By-laws provides that the Registrant may
     purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
     Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust, or is or was serving at the
     request of the Trust as a Trustee, officer or employee of a corporation,
     partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
     liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any
     such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not
     the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
     liability, provided that the Registrant may not acquire insurance
     protecting any Trustee or officer against liability to the Registrant or
     its shareholders to which he or she 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.

              Section 9 of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract
     with Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins")
     provides that Mitchell Hutchins shall not be liable for any error of
     judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by any series of the
     Registrant in connection with the matters to which the Contract relates,
     except for a loss resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or
     gross negligence of Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or
     from its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the
     Contract.  Section 10 of the Contract provides that the Trustees shall not
     be liable for any obligations of the Trust or any series under the
     Contract and that Mitchell Hutchins shall look only to the assets and
     property of the Registrant in settlement of such right or claim and not to
     the assets and property of the Trustees.  

              Section 9 of each Distribution Contract provides that the Trust
     will indemnify Mitchell Hutchins and its officers, directors and
     controlling persons against all liabilities arising from any alleged
     untrue statement of material fact in the Registration Statement or from

                                         C-7
<PAGE>






     any alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material
     fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in
     it, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading, except insofar as liability arises from untrue statements or
     omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
     furnished by Mitchell Hutchins to the Trust for use in the Registration
     Statement; and provided that this indemnity agreement shall not protect
     any such persons against liabilities arising by reason of their bad faith,
     gross negligence or willful misfeasance; and shall not inure to the
     benefit of any such persons unless a court of competent jurisdiction or
     controlling precedent determines that such result is not against public
     policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933.  Section 9 of each
     Distribution Contract also provides that Mitchell Hutchins agrees to
     indemnify, defend and hold the Trust, its officers and Trustees free and
     harmless of any claims arising out of any alleged untrue statement or any
     alleged omission of material fact contained in information furnished by
     Mitchell Hutchins for use in the Registration Statement or arising out of
     an agreement between Mitchell Hutchins and any retail dealer, or arising
     out of supplementary literature or advertising used by Mitchell Hutchins
     in connection with the Contract.

              Section 9 of each Exclusive Dealer Agreement contains provisions
     similar to Section 9 of the Distribution Contract, with respect to
     PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber").

              Section 6 of the Service Contract provides that PaineWebber shall
     be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against all liabilities,
     except those arising out of bad faith, gross negligence, willful
     misfeasance or reckless disregard of its duties under the Contract. 

              Section 10 of each Distribution Contract and Section 7 of the
     Service Contract contain provisions similar to Section 10 of the
     Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, with respect to Mitchell
     Hutchins and PaineWebber, as appropriate. 

              Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to Trustees, officers
     and controlling persons of the Trust, pursuant to the foregoing provisions
     or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in the opinion of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
     event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
     than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee,
     officer or controlling person of the Trust in connection with the
     successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant
     to any insurance policy) is asserted against the Trust by such Trustee,
     officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
     registered, the Trust will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it
     is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
     the final adjudication of such issue.
