Item 29.                                                    Number of Holders of Securities

Item 30.                                                    Indemnification

Section 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’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’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.

Article IX of the Registrant’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement, dated as of April 27, 2006, provides:

5

ARTICLE IX: Liability; Indemnification.

(a)                                  Indemnification.

The Corporation, including its successors and assigns, shall indemnify its Directors and Officers and make advanced payment of related expenses to the fullest extent permitted, and in accordance with the procedures required, by the General Laws of the State of Maryland and the Investment Company Act In of 1940, as amended.  The By-Laws may provide that the Corporation shall indemnify its employees and/or agents in any manner and within such limits as permitted by applicable law.  Such indemnification shall be in addition to any other right or claim to which any Director, Officer, employee or agent may otherwise be entitled.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or employee benefit plan, against any liability (including, with respect to employee benefit plans, excise taxes) asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s position, whether or not the Corporation would have had the power to indemnify against such liability.  The rights provided to any person by this Article IX shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such person who shall be presumed to have relied upon such rights in serving or continuing to serve in the capacities indicted herein.  No amendment of the Corporation’s Charter shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment.

(b)                                 Liability for Money Damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, no Director or Officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or to its stockholders for money damages.  No amendment to the Corporation’s Charter or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the benefits provided to Directors and Officers under this provision with respect to any act or omission which occurred prior to such amendment or repeal.

(c)                                  Reliance.

In performance of his duties, a director is entitled to rely on information, opinion, report, or statement, including any financial statement or other financial data, prepared by others, to the extent not inconsistent with the General Laws of the State of Maryland.  A person who performs his duties in accordance with the standards of Article 2-405.1 of the MGCL or otherwise in accordance with applicable law shall have no liability by reason of being or having been a Director of the Corporation.

Article IX of the Registrant’s bylaws (as amended to date) provides:

Section 1. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL and the 1940 Act, indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses in advance of ultimate disposition of a proceeding to any individual who is a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation and (a) who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (b) serves or has served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.  The indemnification and other rights provided by this Article 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.

Section 2. Indemnification of Employees and Agents.  Employees and agents who are not officers or Directors of the Corporation and each Director Emeritus may be indemnified, and the reasonable expenses of such employee, agent or Director Emeritus may be paid or reimbursed, as may be provided by action of the Board of Directors or by contract, subject to any limitations imposed by the MGCL or the 1940 Act.

6

Section 3. Other Rights.  The Board of Directors may make further provision consistent with law for indemnification and advance of expenses to any Director, Director Emeritus, officer, employee or agent by resolution, agreement or otherwise.  The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right, with respect to indemnification or otherwise, to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any insurance or other agreement or resolution of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

Section 4. Amendments.  Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Bylaws or Charter inconsistent with this Article IX, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of this Article IX with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.

Section 5. Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Director Emeritus, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or who, while a Director, Director Emeritus, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s position; provided that no insurance may be purchased by the Corporation on behalf of any person against any liability to the Corporation or to its stockholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Reference is made to Section 3 of the Management Agreement, filed as Exhibit (g)(2), for provisions relating to limitation of liability of the Investment Manager. Reference is made to Section 3 of the Advisory Agreement, filed as Exhibit (g)(1), for provisions relating to limitation of liability of the Investment Adviser.

The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each of the Fund’s Directors, pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to indemnify each Director against expenses reasonably incurred by such Director in a proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Director’s service to the Fund, to the maximum extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 director, officer or controlling person of the 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, 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 31.                                                    Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser

The information in the Statement of Additional Information under the caption “Management—Directors and Officers” is incorporated by reference.

The Form is fulfilling the requirement of this Item 31 to provide a list of the officers and directors of the Investment Adviser, together with information as to any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature engaged in by the Investment Adviser or those officers and directors during the past two years, by incorporating by reference the information contained in the Form ADV of the Investment Adviser filed with the commission pursuant to the 1940 Act (SEC No. 801-12880).
