o     Effective September 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting
      Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair
      Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair
      value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires
      additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various
      inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as
      follows:

            o     Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for
                  identical securities
            o     Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited
                  to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
                  that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
                  observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
                  rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss
                  severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other
                  market-corroborated inputs)
            o     Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information
                  available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs
                  are not available (including the Fund's own assumption used in
                  determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and other
significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund's most recent
financial statements as contained in its annual report.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of November 30, 2008 in
