Item
30. Indemnification
See
Article VIII, Section 5 of the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the section titled “Insurance of Officers,
Trustees, and Employees” in Article IX of the Registrant’s By-Laws.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), may be permitted
to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Declaration of Trust 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 Securities 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 connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons
in connection with the shares 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
