<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;2-418 of the General Corporate Law of Maryland, the state in which the Registrant was organized, empowers a corporation, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements), including the advancement of expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party. In order to obtain advancements on expenses a director or officer must, among other requirements stated in the Registrant&#146;s bylaws, provide a written affirmation of good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met and a written undertaking to repay any advance if it is determined that such standard was not met. Indemnification of directors and officers will not be provided when a director or officer shows willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office. The indemnification of directors and officers continues after such person has ceased being a director or officer, with regard to the duties performed while employed or in offices with the Registrant, and the benefits of indemnification inure to the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. Employees and agents who are not directors or officers of the Registrant may be indemnified.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(a)&nbsp;The Company shall indemnify its directors to the fullest extent that indemnification of directors is permitted by the Maryland General Company Law. The Company shall indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law. The Company shall indemnify its directors and officers who while serving as directors or officers, also serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Company, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan to the fullest extent consistent with law. The indemnification and other rights provided by this Article&nbsp;shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

The person seeking indemnification shall provide to the Company a written affirmation of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company has been met and a written undertaking to repay any such advance if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. In addition, at least one of the following conditions shall be met: (i)&nbsp;the person seeking indemnification shall provide security in form and amount acceptable to the Company for his undertaking; (ii)&nbsp;the Company is insured against losses arising by reason of the advance; or (iii)&nbsp;a majority of a quorum of directors of the Company who are neither &#147;interested persons&#148; as defined in Section&nbsp;2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, nor parties to the proceeding (&#147;disinterested non-party directors&#148;), or independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of facts readily available to the Company at the time the advance is proposed to be made, that there is reason to believe that the person seeking indemnification will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification.</font></p>
