years of the Fund's operations, .25% of average daily net assets in year 6, .20%
in year 7, .15% in year 8, .10% in year 9 and .05% in year 10. Without the

Item 29: Indemnification

     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;

                                       6


<PAGE>

(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 anyone, as such Disinterested
Trustee, who has

                                       7



<PAGE>

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.

         As used in this Section 4, the words "claim," "action," "suit" or
"proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits, proceedings (civil,
criminal, administrative or other, including appeals), actual or threatened; and
the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include without limitation,
attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties
and other liabilities.

         The trustees and officers of the Registrant are covered by Investment
Trust Errors and Omission policies in the aggregate amount of $50,000,000 (with
a 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.1 to the
Registration Statement provides for each of the parties thereto, including the
Registrant and the Underwriters, to indemnify the others, their trustees,
directors, certain of their officers, trustees, directors and persons who
control them against certain liabilities in connection with the offering
described herein, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

         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
Securities Act of 1933 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
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
