Each of the Trusts has adopted a level distribution plan (the
�Plan�) and employs either a managed distribution or an option
over-write policy to support a level distribution of income,
capital gains and/or return of capital. The fixed amounts
distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of
each Trust�s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute
all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent
with its primary investment objectives and as required by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the �Code�). If
sufficient investment income is not available on a
quarterly/monthly basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term
capital gains and or return of capital to their shareholders in
order to maintain a level distribution.
The Trusts� estimated sources of the distributions paid this
month and for their current fiscal years are as follows:

1 The Trusts estimate that they have distributed more than their
income and capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a
portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return
of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the
shareholder�s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return
of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a Trust's
investment performance and should not be confused with �yield� or
�income�.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only
estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The
actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon each Trust�s investment experience during
the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes
based on tax regulations. The Trusts will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these
distributions for federal income tax purposes.
