ITEM 24. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT.
The Registrant is not controlled by or under common control with any other
person.
ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION.
Reference is made to Section 5.3 of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust
and Section 9 of the Distribution Agreement.
Section 5.3 of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides as follows:
"The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees, officers, employees, and
agents (including persons who serve at its request as directors, officers or
trustees of another organization in which it has any interest as a shareholder,
creditor or otherwise) against all liabilities and expenses (including amounts
paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines and penalties, and
as counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
in which he may be involved or with which he may be threatened, while in office
or thereafter, by reason of his being or having been such a trustee, officer,
employee or agent, except with respect to any matters as to which he shall have
been adjudicated to have acted in bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of his duties; provided, however, that as to
any matter disposed of by a compromise payment by such person, pursuant to a
consent decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for said payment or for
any other expenses shall be provided unless the Trust shall have received a
written opinion from independent legal counsel approved by the Trustee to the
effect that if either the matter of willful misfeasance, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of duty, or the matter of good faith and reasonable belief
as to the best interests of the Trust, had been adjudicated, it would have been
adjudicated
C-1
<PAGE>
in favor of such person. The rights accruing to any person under these
provisions shall not exclude any other right to which he may be lawfully
entitled; provided that no Person may satisfy any right of indemnity or
reimbursement granted herein or in Section 5.1 or to which he may be otherwise
entitled except out of the property of the Trust, and no Shareholder shall be
personally liable to any person with respect to any claim for indemnity or
reimbursement or otherwise. The Trustees may make advance payments in
connection with indemnification under this Section 5.3, provided that the
indemnified person shall have given a written undertaking to reimburse the
Trust in the event it is subsequently determined that he is not entitled to
such indemnification."
The Registrant's by-laws provide that insofar as the conditional advancing
of indemnification moneys pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Declaration of Trust
for actions based upon the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act") may be concerned, such payments will be made only on
the following conditions: (i) the advances must be limited to amounts used, or
to be used, for the preparation or presentation of a defense to the action,
including costs connected with the preparation of a settlement; (ii) advances
may be made only upon receipt of a written promise by, or on behalf of, the
recipient to repay that amount of the advance which exceeds the amount which it
is ultimately determined that he is entitled to receive from the Registrant by
reason of indemnification; and (iii) (a) such promise must be secured by a
surety bond, other suitable insurance or an equivalent form of security which
assures that any repayments may be obtained by the Registrant without delay or
litigation, which bond, insurance or other form of security must be provided by
the recipient of the advance, or (b) a majority of a quorum of the Registrant's
disinterested, non-party Trustees, or an independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, shall determine, based upon a review of readily available facts, that
the recipient of the advance ultimately will be found entitled to
indemnification.
In Section 9 of the Distribution Agreement relating to the securities
being offered hereby, the Registrant agrees to indemnify the Distributor and
each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), against certain
types of civil liabilities arising in connection with the Registration
Statement or Prospectus.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant and the principal underwriter 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 Securities 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 and the principal underwriter
in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person or the principal
underwriter 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
