*Filed herewith.
Powers of Attorney. Executed copies filed under "Other Exhibits" to
Post-Effective Amendment No. 11 to Registration Statement on Form N-1A filed
October 10, 1990 (File No. 2-91215).
ITEM 25. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT.
None.
ITEM 26. NUMBER OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.
As of June 15, 1994, each series of the Fund had the following number of
record holders of shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share:
California Series, 440 record holders of Class A shares and 5,485 record holders
of Class B shares; California Income Series, 3,942 record holders of Class A
shares and 398 record holders of Class B shares; and California Money Market
Series, 7,805 record holders.
ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION.
Article V, Section 5.1 of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides
that neither shareholders nor Trustees, officers, employees or agents shall be
subject to personal liability to any other person, except (with respect to
Trustees, officers, employees or agents) liability arising from bad faith,
willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his of her
duties. Section 5.1 also provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold
harmless each shareholder against all claims and all expenses reasonably related
thereto.
As permitted by Sections 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the 1940 Act) and pursuant to Article VI of the Fund's By-Laws (Exhibit 2 to
the Registration Statement), officers, Trustees, employees and agents of the
Registrant will not be liable to the Registrant, any shareholder, officer,
Trustee, employee, agent or other person for any action or failure to act,
except for bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of duties, and those individuals may be indemnified against
liabilities in connection with the Registrant, subject to the same exceptions.
As permitted by Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act, pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of
each Distribution Agreement (Exhibit 6 to the Registration Statement), each
Distributor of the Registrant may be indemnified against liabilities which it
may incur, except liabilities arising from bad faith, gross negligence, willful
misfeasance or reckless disregard of duties.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (Securities Act) 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
1940 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 connection with the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such Trustee,
officer or controlling person in connection with the shares 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the 1940 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
The Registrant has purchased an insurance policy insuring its officers and
Trustees against liabilities, and certain costs of defending claims against such
officers and Trustees, to the extent such officers and Trustees are not found to
have committed conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties. The
insurance policy also insures the Registrant against the cost of indemnification
payments to officers and Trustees under certain circumstances.
Section 9 of the Management Agreement (Exhibit 5(a) to the Registration
Statement) and Section 4 of the Subadvisory Agreement (Exhibit 5(b) to the
Registration Statement) limit the liability of Prudential Mutual Fund
Management, Inc. (PMF) and The Prudential Investment Corporation (PIC),
respectively, to liabilities arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of their respective obligations and duties
under the agreements.
C-3
<PAGE>
The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification
provisions of its By-Laws and each Distribution Agreement in a manner consistent
with Release No. 11330 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940
Act so long as the interpretations of Sections 17(h) and 17(i) of such Act
remain in effect and are consistently applied.
