    Section 4 of Article XII of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides
as follows:                                                                     

Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in this Section 4,
every person who is, or has been, a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the  
Trust, including persons who serve at the request of the Trust as directors,    
trustees, officers, employees or agents of another organization in which the    
Trust has an interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter      
referred to as a "Covered Person"), shall be indemnified by the Trust to the    
fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses      
reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or
proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his
being or having been such a Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent and   
against amounts paid or incurred by him in settlement thereof.                  

No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:   

(a) against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of a final 
adjudication by the court or other body before which the proceeding was 
   brought that he engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the

conduct of his office;                                                  

(b) with respect to any matter as to which he shall have been finally           
 adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that
his action was in the best interests of the Trust; or                   

(c) in the event of a settlement or other disposition not involving a final     
adjudication (as provided in paragraph (a) or (b)) and resulting in a   
 payment by a Covered Person, unless there has been either a determination
  that such Covered Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith,
    gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct
  of his office by the court or other body approving the settlement or other
disposition or a reasonable determination, based on a review of readily 
  available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that he did not
engage in such conduct:                                                 

              (i) by a vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting
         on the matter (provided that a majority of the Disinterested Trustees
then in office act on the matter); or                       

   (ii) by written opinion of independent legal counsel.

 The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by
policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not affect any other
rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, shall      
continue as to a person who has ceased to be such a Covered Person and shall    
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a       
person. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to  
which Trust personnel other than Covered Persons may be entitled by contract or 
otherwise under law.                                                            

     Expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action,
suit or proceeding subject to a claim for indemnification under this Section 4  
shall be advanced by the Trust prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt  
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this     
Section 4, provided that either:                                                

  (a) such undertaking is secured by a surety bond or some other
   appropriate security or the Trust shall be insured against losses arising
out of any such advances; or                                          

     (b) a majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting on the matter
    (provided that a majority of the Disinterested Trustees then in office act
on the matter) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall
   determine, based upon a review of the readily available facts (as opposed
 to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is reason to believe that the
recipient ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.       

    As used in this Section 4, a "Disinterested Trustee" is one (x) who is not
an Interested Person of the Trust (including, as such Disinterested Trustee,    
anyone who has been exempted from being an Interested Person by any rule,       
regulation or order of the Commission), and (y) against whom none of such       
actions, suits or other proceedings or another action, suit or other proceeding 
on the same or similar grounds is then or has been pending.

maximum deductible of $500,000) against liability and expenses of claims of     
wrongful acts arising out of their position with the Registrant, except for     
matters which involve willful acts, bad faith, gross negligence and willful     
disregard of duty (i.e., where the insured did not act in good faith for a      
purpose he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of Registrant  
or where he or she had reasonable cause to believe this conduct was unlawful).  

Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit h to this    
Registration Statement provides for each of the parties thereto, including the  
Registrant and the Underwriters, to indemnify the others, their trustees,
