Item 30. Indemnification

The sixth article of the Depositor’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides as follows:

Each former, present and future Director, Officer or Employee of the Corporation (and his heirs, executors or administrators), or any such person (and his heirs, executors or administrators) who serves at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, member or employee of another corporation, partnership or business organization or association of any type whatsoever shall be indemnified by the Corporation against reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fine and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any contemplated, pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, to which he is or may be made a party by reason of being or having been such Director, Officer, or Employee of the Corporation or having served at the Corporation’s request as such director, officer, partner, member or employee of any other business organization or association, or in connection with any appeal therein, provided a determination is made by majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors (a) that such a person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (b) that, in any matter the subject of criminal action, suit or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith in any manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled. The manner by which the right to indemnification shall be determined in the absence of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors shall be set forth in the Code of Regulations or in such other manner as permitted by law. Each former, present, and future Director, Officer or Employee of the Corporation (and his heirs, executors or administrators) who serves at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, member or employee of another corporation, partnership or business organization or association of any type whatsoever shall be indemnified by the Corporation against reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of any contemplated, pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding, by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, to which he is or may be a party by reason of being or having been such Director, Officer or Employee of the Corporation or having served at the Corporation’s request as such director, officer, partner, member or employee of any other business organization or association, or in connection with any appeal therein, provided a determination is made by majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors (a) that such person was not, and has not been adjudicated to have been negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation or to such other business organization or association, and (b) that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled. The manner by which the right of indemnification shall be determined in the absence of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors shall be as set forth in the Code of Regulations or in such other manner as permitted by law.

In addition, Article XII of the Depositor’s Code of Regulations states as follows:

If any director, officer or employee of the Corporation may be entitled to indemnification by reason of Article Sixth of the Amended Articles of Corporation, indemnification shall be made upon either (a) a determination in writing of the majority of disinterested directors present, at a meeting of the Board at which all disinterested directors present constitute a quorum, that the director, officer or employee in question was acting in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this Corporation or of such other business organization or association in which he served at the Corporation’s request, and that, in any matter which is the subject of a criminal action, suit or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful and in an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor that such person was not and has not been adjudicated to have been negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation or to such other business organization or association; or (b) if the number of all disinterested directors would not be sufficient at any time to constitute a quorum, or if the number of disinterested directors present at two consecutive meetings of the Board has not been sufficient to constitute a quorum, a determination to the same effect as set forth in the foregoing clause (a) shall be made in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having association with it an attorney, who has been retained by or who has performed services for this Corporation, or any person to be indemnified within the past five years, or by the majority vote of the policyholders, or by the Court of Common Pleas or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought. Prior to making any such determination, the Board of Directors shall first have received the written opinion of General Counsel that a number of directors sufficient to constitute a quorum, as named therein, are disinterested directors. Any director who is a party to or threatened with the action, suit or proceeding in question, or any related action, suit or proceeding, or has had or has an interest therein adverse to that of the Corporation, or who for any other reason has been or would be affected thereby, shall not be deemed a disinterested director and shall not be qualified to vote on the question of indemnification. Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, if a judicial or administrative body determines as part of the settlement of any action, suit or proceeding that the Corporation should indemnify a director, officer or employee for the amount of the settlement, the Corporation shall so indemnify such person in accordance with such determination. Expenses incurred with respect to any action, suit or proceeding which may qualify for indemnification may be advanced by the Corporation prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined hereunder that he is not entitled to indemnification or to the extent that the amount so advanced exceeds the indemnification to which he is ultimately determined to be entitled.

Undertakings

Rule 484 Undertaking — Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, 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 director, officer, or controlling person of the 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 Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.
