      Item 27.  Indemnification

                Reference is made to Article IV of the Registrant's Declaration
                of Trust.

              Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
              Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and
              controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant
              to the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware
              that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
              such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
              Act and, therefore, is 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
              trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in
              connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or
              proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling
              persons 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 Act and will be
              governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
