PART C. OTHER INFORMATION.

Item 15. Indemnification

Indemnification is provided to Directors and officers of the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, except where such indemnification is not permitted by law. However, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not protect the Directors or officers from liability based on willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office. Directors and officers of the Registrant are insured against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act").

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to Directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation 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 Directors, officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such Directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the shares 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be permitted pursuant to Section 17 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Directors, officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, the Registrant is aware of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in Investment Company Act Release No. IC-11330. Therefore, the Registrant undertakes that in addition to complying with the applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, in the absence of a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before which the proceeding was brought, that an indemnification payment will not be made unless in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination based upon factual review has been made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum of non-party Directors who are not interested persons of the Registrant or (ii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that the indemnitee was not liable for an act of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties. The Registrant further undertakes that advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of a proceeding (upon undertaking for repayment unless it is ultimately determined that indemnification is appropriate) against an officer, Trustee, or controlling person of the Registrant will not be made absent the fulfillment of at least one of the following conditions: (i) the indemnitee provides security for his undertaking; (ii) the Registrant is insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or (iii) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party Directors or independent legal counsel in a written opinion makes a factual determination that there is reason to believe the indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification.
