Item 30.                      Indemnification
 
Reference is made to Article Ninth of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article XIII of the Registrant’s By-laws, which are incorporated by reference herein.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, its By-laws 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,
C-3

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 directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities that have been 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 issue.

Not applicable.
 
Item 34.                      Undertakings
 
1.  
Registrant undertakes to suspend the offering of its common shares until it amends the prospectus filed herewith if (1) subsequent to the effective date of its registration statement, the net asset value declines more than 10 percent from its net asset value as of the effective date of the registration statement, or (2) the net asset value increases to an amount greater than its net proceeds as stated in the prospectus.

c.
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
 
C-4

 
 
d. 
that, for the purpose of determining liability under the 1933 Act to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C [17 CFR 230.430C]: Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 497(b), (c), (d) or (e) under the 1933 Act [17 CFR 230.497(b), (c), (d) or (e)] as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than prospectues filed in reliance on Rule 430A under the 1933 Act [17 CFR 230.430A], shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.

(3)
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
