Item 27.  Indemnification

     The Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant include the following:

                                   ARTICLE VII

7.4 Indemnification. The Corporation, including its successors and assigns,
shall indemnify its directors and officers and make advance payment of related
expenses to the fullest extent permitted, and in accordance with the procedures
required, by the General Laws of the State of Maryland and the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The By-Laws may provide that the Corporation shall
indemnify its employees and/or agents in any manner and within such limits as
permitted by applicable law. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any
other right or claim to which any director, officer, employee or agent may
otherwise be entitled. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or
employee benefit plan, against any liability (including, with respect to
employee benefit plans, excise taxes) asserted against and incurred by such
person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's position, whether or
not the Corporation would have had the power to indemnify against such
liability. The rights provided to any person by this Article 7.4 shall be
enforceable against the Corporation by such person who shall be presumed to have
relied upon such rights in serving or continuing to serve in the capacities
indicated herein. No amendment of these Articles of Incorporation


                                       C-5

<PAGE>

shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events
occurring prior to such amendment.

     The By-Laws of the Registrant include the following:

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 Indemnification

          "The Corporation shall indemnify (a) its Directors and officers,
          whether serving the Corporation or at its request any other entity, to
          the full extent required or permitted by (i) Maryland law now or
          hereafter in force, including the advance of expenses under the
          procedures and to the full extent permitted by law, and (ii) the
          Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (b) other employees
          and agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the Board of
          Directors and be permitted by law. The foregoing rights of
          indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which
          those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Board of Directors
          may take such action as is necessary to carry out these
          indemnification provisions and is expressly empowered to adopt,
          approve and amend from time to time such resolutions or contracts
          implementing such provisions nor such further indemnification
          arrangement as may be permitted by law."

     Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, 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 director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suite 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.

     To the extent that the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws or any other
instrument pursuant to which the Registrant is organized or administered
indemnify any director or officer of the Registrant, or that any contract or
agreement indemnifies any person who undertakes to act as investment adviser or
principal underwriter to the Registrant, any such provision protecting or
purporting to protect such persons against any liability to the Registrant or
its security holders to which he would otherwise by subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence, in the performance of his duties,
or by reason of his contract or agreement, will be interpreted and enforced in a
manner consistent with the provisions of Sections 17(h) and (i) of the
Investment company Act of 1940, as amended, and Release No. IC-11330 issued
thereunder.

Item 28. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser:
