ITEM 24. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT
NONE.
ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION.
Reference is made to Article X, Section 10.02 of the Registrant's
Trust Instrument, which is filed herewith.
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 Trust Instrument 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 action, 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.
ITEM 26. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER
(a) Templeton Global Advisor Limited
