directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability for money damages to the corporation and its stockholders except to the extent (i)&nbsp;that it is proved that a director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or
services or (ii)&nbsp;that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to a director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that such director&#146;s or officer&#146;s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws require the indemnification of, and expenses to be advanced on
behalf of, directors and officers, among others, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the limitations imposed by the&nbsp;1940 Act. Under Maryland law, a corporation may indemnify a present or former director or officer or any
person, who while a director or officer of the corporation, serves or has served another entity as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such entity, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by
them in connection with any proceedings to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of their service in such capacity, unless it is proved that (i)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the
matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (b)&nbsp;was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or
services or (iii)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse
judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. Maryland law
requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Registrant&#146;s charter does not) to indemnify present and past directors and officers who are successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding. In addition, Maryland law permits a
corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct
necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or her on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was
not met. The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws also permit the indemnification and advance of expenses to the Registrant&#146;s employees and agents to the extent approved by the Board of Directors and permitted by Maryland law and the&nbsp;1940 Act. </P>

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 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, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of 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, 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>ITEM&nbsp;31. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser </B></P>
