entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides services to the Registrant to
employ the independent auditor to render permissible non-audit services related directly to the operations and financial

such services are consistent with the independent auditor&#x2019;s independence. The Charter further permits the Audit
Committee to delegate to one or more of its members authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services to the
registrant, provided that any pre-approval determination of a delegate is for services with an estimated budget of less than
$15,000.</p>
