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 &#147;Covered Person&#148;), 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

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:

against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Item&nbsp;16. Exhibits. </B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Plan on or before the Closing (as defined in the Plan), the Target Fund will merge pursuant
to applicable state law with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving and the common shares of the Target Fund will be converted into Acquiring Fund Common Shares and the AMTP Shares of the Target Fund will be converted into Acquiring Fund AMTP
Shares. Pursuant to such state law, as of the Effective Time, all the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will become the assets and liabilities of Merger Sub and the separate legal existence of the Target Fund shall cease for all purposes.
Each common share of the Target Fund outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into a number of Acquiring Fund Common Shares equal to one multiplied by the quotient of the net asset value per common share of the Target
Fund as of the Valuation Time (as defined in the Plan) divided by the net asset value of an Acquiring Fund Common Share as of the Valuation Time. Each outstanding AMTP Share of the Target Fund will be converted into one Acquiring Fund AMTP Share.
The Acquiring Fund AMTP Shares issued pursuant to the Merger will have the same liquidation preference and value as of the Effective Time as the AMTP Shares of the Target Fund outstanding at the Effective Time and the terms of the Acquiring Fund
AMTP Shares received by a holder of Target Fund AMTP Shares will be substantially similar as the terms of the Target Fund AMTP Shares surrendered by such shareholder in the Merger. No fractional Acquiring Fund Common Shares will be issued to Target
Fund shareholders in connection with the Merger. In lieu thereof, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s transfer agent, on behalf of the shareholders entitled to receive fractional Acquiring Fund Common Shares, will aggregate all fractional Acquiring Fund
Common Shares and sell the resulting whole shares on the NYSE for the account of all shareholders of fractional interests, and each such shareholder will be entitled to a pro rata share of the proceeds from such sale. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the Merger, every common shareholder of the Target Fund will own Acquiring Fund Common Shares (including for this purpose any fractional shares
to which they would be entitled) that will have an aggregate per share net asset value as of the Valuation Time equal to the aggregate per share net asset value of the Target Fund common shares held by such shareholder as of the Valuation Time and
each holder of Target Fund AMTP Shares will own Acquiring Fund AMTP Shares with an aggregate liquidation preference and value as of the Effective Time equal to the aggregate liquidation preference and value of the Target Fund AMTP Shares held by
such shareholder as of the Effective Time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Merger Sub will dissolve under applicable state law and the
Acquiring Fund will assume all Merger Sub&#146;s liabilities and obligations, known and unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether or not determinable, and Merger Sub will distribute to the Acquiring Fund, which will be the sole member of Merger Sub
at such time, all the assets of Merger Sub in complete liquidation of its interest in Merger Sub in accordance with a plan of dissolution adopted by Merger Sub. </P>

have an investment objective and investment strategies, policies, risks and restrictions similar to those of the Target Fund. In addition, the Acquiring Fund will use a significant portion of the Target Fund&#146;s historic business assets in its
business. At the Effective Time, at least thirty-four percent (34%) of the total fair market value of the Target Fund&#146;s portfolio assets will meet the investment objective, strategies, policies, risks and restrictions of the Acquiring Fund. The
Target Fund did not and will not alter its portfolio in connection with the Reorganization to meet this thirty-four percent (34%) threshold. Neither Fund modified any of its investment objective, strategies, policies, risks or restrictions in
connection with the Reorganization and the Acquiring Fund has no plan or intention to change any of its investment objective, strategies, policies, risks or restrictions after the Merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Trustees of the Target Fund has authorized a cash distribution in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the assets attributable to the common
shares of the Target Fund if all requisite shareholder approvals of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund with respect to the Merger are obtained (the &#147;Special Cash Distribution&#148;). The Special Cash Distribution will be declared and paid from
the assets of the Target Fund following shareholder approval of the Merger and before the Closing. The Special Cash distribution is not contingent on the consummation of the Merger. If shareholder approval of the Merger is obtained but the Merger is
not consummated for other reasons, the Target Fund will still distribute the Special Cash Distribution to the common shareholders of the Target Fund. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
approving the Merger, the Board of Trustees of each Fund (collectively, the &#147;Boards&#148;) determined that the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the best interests of its respective Fund and that the interests of the
shareholders of its respective Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Merger. In making such determination, the Boards considered the operating efficiencies that may be achieved following the Merger. </P>
