If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under
the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to
the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take
delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities
comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of
cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the
recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the
referenced index.

|
The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit
protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event
occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
|
|
3
|
Implied credit spreads, utilized in determining the market value of credit default
swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues as of period end, serve
as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent
the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied
credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling
protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter
into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or
other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for
the referenced entity or obligation.
