Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Trust
Not Applicable
Item 25. Indemnification
Reference is made to Article VIII of Registrant's Agreement and
Declaration of Trust (filed as an exhibit to Post-Effective Amendment No. 7
filed electronically on November 9, 1995). The application of these provisions
is limited by Article 10 of Registrant's By-Laws (filed as Exhibit 2 to
Registrant's Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 filed electronically on November 9,
1995, accession number 0000950130-95-002359 and incorporated herein by
reference) and by the following undertaking set forth in the rules promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, 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 such 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 in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such trustee,
C-2
<PAGE>
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 such Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Reference also is made to the Distribution Agreement previously filed
as an exhibit to Post-Effective Amendment No. 20 to the Registration Statement
on Form N-1A filed electronically on July 28, 1998.
Item 26. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser
Registrant is fulfilling the requirement of this Item 26 to provide a
list of the officers and directors of BSAM, the investment adviser of
Registrant, together with information as to any other business, profession,
vocation or employment of a substantial nature engaged in by BSAM or those of
its officers and directors during the past two years, by incorporating by
reference the information contained in the Form ADV filed with the SEC pursuant
to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by BSAM (SEC File No. 801-29862).
