Based upon the foregoing information and examination, so long as the Fund remains a valid and subsisting entity under the laws of its state of organization, and the registration of an indefinite number of shares of the Fund remains effective, the authorized shares of the Fund, when issued for the consideration set by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Articles, and subject to compliance with Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act, will be legally outstanding, fully-paid, and non-assessable shares, and the holders of such shares will have all the rights provided for with respect to such holding by the Articles and the laws of the State of Maryland.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion, in lieu of any other, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of the Fund, along with any amendments thereto, covering the registration of the shares of the Fund under the Securities Act and the applications, Registration Statements or notice filings, and amendments thereto, filed in accordance with the securities laws of the several states in which shares of the Fund are offered, and we further consent to reference in the Registration Statement of the Fund to the fact that this opinion concerning the legality of the issue has been rendered by us.
