Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Item C.16. Brokers.
Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.

Item C.16. Brokers.
Instructions to Item C.16 and Item C.17.
To help Registrants distinguish between agency and principal
transactions, and to promote consistent reporting of the information
required by these items, the following criteria should be used:
1. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies the amount of the commission to be paid by the
Registrant, the transaction should be considered an agency transaction
and included in determining the answers to Item C.16.
2. If a security is purchased or sold in a transaction for which the
confirmation specifies only the net amount to be paid or received by
the Registrant and such net amount is equal to the market value of the
security at the time of the transaction, the transaction should be
considered a principal transaction and included in determining the
amounts in Item C.17.
3. If a security is purchased by the Registrant in an underwritten
offering, the acquisition should be considered a principal transaction
and included in answering Item C.17 even though the Registrant has
knowledge of the amount the underwriters are receiving from the issuer.
4. If a security is sold by the Registrant in a tender offer, the sale
should be considered a principal transaction and included in answering
Item C.17 even though the Registrant has knowledge of the amount the
offeror is paying to soliciting brokers or dealers.
5. If a security is purchased directly from the issuer (such as a bank
CD), the purchase should be considered a principal transaction and
included in answering Item C.17.
6. The value of called or maturing securities should not be counted in
either agency or principal transactions and should not be included in
determining the amounts shown in Item C.16 and Item C.17. This means
that the acquisition of a security may be included, but it is possible
that its disposition may not be included. Disposition of a repurchase
agreement at its expiration date should not be included.
7. The purchase or sales of securities in transactions not described in
paragraphs (1) through (6) above should be evaluated by the Fund based
upon the guidelines established in those paragraphs and classified
accordingly. The agents considered in Item C.16 may be persons or
companies not registered under the Exchange Act as securities brokers.
The persons or companies from whom the investment company purchased or
to whom it sold portfolio instruments on a principal basis may be
persons or entities not registered under the Exchange Act as securities
dealers.
