ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION
 
     Article VIII of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust
(Exhibit 1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference) provides in effect
that the Registrant will indemnify its officers and trustees under certain
circumstances. However, in accordance with Section 17(h) and 17(i) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and its own terms, said Article of the Agreement
and Declaration of Trust does not protect any person against any liability to
the Registrant or its shareholders to which he 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 office.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
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 Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant 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 as to 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.
