See the section of the Prospectus entitled "Investment Adviser"
and the section of the Statement of Additional Information entitled "Investment

Item 25. Indemnification
-------- ---------------
Each Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the
Registrant shall indemnify such persons, for such expenses and liabilities, in
such manner, under such circumstances, and to such extent as permitted by
Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes, as now enacted or hereafter amended;
provided, however, that no such indemnification may be made if it would be in
violation of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as now enacted
or hereinafter amended, and any rules, regulations or releases promulgated
thereunder.
Each Registrant may indemnify its officers and directors and other
"persons" acting in an "official capacity" (as such terms are defined in Section
302A.521) pursuant to a determination by the board of directors or shareholders
of the Registrant as set forth in Section 302A.521, by special legal counsel
selected by the board or a committee thereof for the purpose of making such a
determination, or by a Minnesota court upon application of the person seeking
indemnification. If a director is seeking indemnification for conduct in the
capacity of director or officer of a Registrant, then such director generally
may not be counted for the purpose of determining either the presence of a
quorum or such director's eligibility to be indemnified.
In any case, indemnification is proper only if the eligibility determining
body decides that the person seeking indemnification:
(a) has not received indemnification for the same conduct from any other
party or organization;
(b) acted in good faith;
(c) received no improper personal benefit;
(d) in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe
the conduct was unlawful;
(e) reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interest of a
Registrant, or in certain contexts, was not opposed to the best
interest of a Registrant; and
C-3
<PAGE>
(f) had not otherwise engaged in conduct which precludes indemnification
under either Minnesota or Federal law (including, but not limited to,
conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of duties as set forth in Section
17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940).
If a person is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, the
person is entitled, upon written request to a Registrant, to payment or
reimbursement by a Registrant of reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees
and disbursements, incurred by the person in advance of the final disposition of
the proceeding, (a) upon receipt by a Registrant of a written affirmation by the
person of a good faith belief that the criteria for indemnification set forth in
Section 302A.521 have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to
repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the Registrant, if it is ultimately
determined that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied, and
(b) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the
determination would not preclude indemnification under Section 302A.521. The
written undertaking required by clause (a) is an unlimited general obligation of
the person making it, but need not be secured and shall be accepted without
reference to financial ability to make the repayment.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of a
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each 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 a Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, 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 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.
Each Registrant undertakes to comply with the indemnification requirements
of Investment Company Release 7221 (June 9, 1972) and Investment Company Release
11330 (September 2, 1980).
