Item 25
Indemnification.
----------------
7
<PAGE>
The Registrant shall indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents of
the Registrant against judgements, fines, settlements and expenses to the
fullest extent allowed, and in the manner provided, by applicable federal and
Maryland law, including Section 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of
1940. In this regard, the Registrant undertakes to abide by the provisions of
Investment Company Act Releases No. 11330 and 7221 until amended or superseded
by subsequent interpretation of legislative or judicial action.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, Registrant understands 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit
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 Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
