Item 29.                 Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant - None

Item 30.                 Indemnification
 
Reference is made to Article 9 of Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, which provides, in summary, that to the extent permitted by law, officers and trustees shall be indemnified by Registrant against liabilities and expense incurred by such persons in connection with claims, actions, suits, or proceedings arising out of their offices or duties of employment.

In Section 10 of the Distribution Agreement relating to the securities 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 (“Securities Act”), against certain types of civil liabilities arising in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information.

 
 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 the 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, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
