Item 29: Indemnification

     Reference is made to Article VIII, Sections 1 through 4, of the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is
incorporated by reference from Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-86282), as filed on
June 25, 2002.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to trustees, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Trust's
Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, its Amended and
Restated Bylaws or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is 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 trustees, officers or
controlling persons of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling
persons 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
