Item 25. Indemnification
         ---------------

Article X, Section 10.02 of Registrant's Delaware Trust Instrument,  as amended,
incorporated  herein as Exhibit (a)(2) hereto,  provides for the indemnification
of Registrant's Trustees and officers, as follows:

Section 10.02  Indemnification.

(a)      Subject to the  exceptions  and  limitations  contained  in  Subsection
         10.02(b):

            (i) every  person  who is, or has been,  a Trustee or officer of the
Trust  (hereinafter  referred to as a "Covered  Person") shall be indemnified by
the Trust to the fullest extent  permitted by law against  liability and against
all expenses  reasonably  incurred or paid by him in connection  with any claim,
action,  suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise
by virtue of his being or having been a Trustee or officer  and against  amounts
paid or incurred by him in the settlement thereof;

            (ii) the words  "claim,"  "action,"  "suit," or  "proceeding"  shall
apply to all claims,  actions,  suits or proceedings (civil,  criminal or other,
including appeals), actual or threatened while in office or thereafter,  and the
words "liability" and "expenses" shall include,  without limitation,  attorneys'
fees, costs, judgments,  amounts paid in settlement,  fines, penalties and other
liabilities.

(b)      No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:

            (i) who shall have been  adjudicated by a court or body before which
the proceeding was brought (A) to be liable to the Trust or its  Shareholders by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties  involved in the conduct of his office or (B) not to have acted in
good faith in the reasonable  belief that his action was in the best interest of
the Trust; or

            (ii)  in  the  event  of a  settlement,  unless  there  has  been  a
determination   that  such   Trustee  or  officer  did  not  engage  in  willful
misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence or reckless  disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his office,  (A) by the court or other body approving
the  settlement;  (B) by at least a majority of those  Trustees  who are neither
Interested  Persons  of the Trust nor are  parties  to the  matter  based upon a
review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry);  or
(C) by  written  opinion of  independent  legal  counsel  based upon a review of
readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry).

(c)      The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by
policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable,  shall not be exclusive of
or affect any other  rights to which any Covered  Person may now or hereafter be
entitled,  shall  continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered  Person
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of
such  a  person.   Nothing   contained   herein   shall  affect  any  rights  to
indemnification to which Trust personnel,  other than Covered Persons, and other
persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

(d)      Expenses in  connection  with the  preparation  and  presentation  of a
defense to any claim,  action,  suit or proceeding of the character described in
Subsection  (a) of this  Section  10.02 may be paid by the Trust or Series  from
time to time prior to final  disposition  thereof upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such Covered Person that such amount will be paid over by him
to the Trust or Series if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
indemnification  under this Section 10.02;  provided,  however,  that either (i)
such  Covered  Person  shall  have  provided   appropriate   security  for  such
undertaking,  (ii) the Trust is insured  against  losses arising out of any such
advance  payments  or (iii)  either a majority of the  Trustees  who are neither
Interested  Persons of the Trust nor parties to the matter, 



                                      C-4
<PAGE>

or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined,  based
upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a trial-type  inquiry or
full  investigation),  that there is reason to believe that such Covered  Person
will be found entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.02."

Indemnification of the Fund's principal underwriter, custodian, fund accountant,
and  transfer  agent  is  provided  for,  respectively,  in  Section  V  of  the
Distribution Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 6(a) hereto, Section
28 of the Custody  Agreement  incorporated  by reference as Exhibit 8(a) hereto,
Section 5 of the Fund Accounting Agreement  incorporated by reference as Exhibit
9(d) hereto,  and Section 7 of the Transfer  Agency  Agreement  incorporated  by
reference as Exhibit 9(c) hereto. Registrant has obtained from a major insurance
carrier a trustees' and officers'  liability  policy  covering  certain types of
errors and omissions. In no event will Registrant indemnify any of its trustees,
officers,  employees or agents  against any liability to which such person would
otherwise be subject by reason of his willful  misfeasance,  bad faith, or gross
negligence  in the  performance  of his  duties,  or by reason  of his  reckless
disregard  of the  duties  involved  in the  conduct  of his office or under his
agreement  with  Registrant.  Registrant  will  comply  with  Rule 484 under the
Securities  Act of 1933 and Release  11330 under the  Investment  Company Act of
1940 in connection with any indemnification.

Insofar as  indemnification  for liability  arising under the  Securities Act of
1933  may be  permitted  to  trustees,  officers,  and  controlling  persons  or
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission such
indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities  (other than the payment by
Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a trustee,  officer,  or controlling
person  of  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,  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  of 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.
