of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "Indemnification Section") shall
have the same meaning as defined in the Indemnification Section.

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to a director or
officer (which includes, with respect to any such person, any person who is or
was an officer of the Corporation and any person who, while an officer of the
Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee
benefit plan) of the Corporation in connection with a proceeding to the fullest
extent permitted by and in accordance with the Indemnification Section and the
1940 Act. The foregoing rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses
shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled.

(c) No amendment to this Charter or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit
or eliminate the protection afforded by this Section 4.2 to a director or
officer (as that term is described in subsection (b) above) with respect to any
act or omission that occurred prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 4.3. Reliance on Experts. Subject to any requirements of the 1940 Act
and the Maryland General Corporation Law, the appointment, designation or
identification of a director as the chairperson of the Board of Directors, as a
member or chairperson of a committee of the Board of Directors, an expert on any
topic or in any area (including an audit committee financial expert), or the
lead independent director, or any other special appointment, designation or
identification of a director, shall not impose on that person any standard of
care or liability that is greater than that imposed on that person as a director
in the absence of the appointment, designation or identification, and no
director who has special skills or expertise, or is appointed, designated or
identified as aforesaid, shall be held to a higher standard of care by virtue
thereof. In addition, and subject to any contrary requirements of the 1940 Act
and the Maryland General Corporation Law, no appointment, designation or
identification of a director as aforesaid shall affect in any way that
director's rights or entitlement to indemnification.

Sections 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3 of Article 11 of Registrant's By-Laws, included as
Exhibit (b)(5) to this Registration Statement and filed herein by reference,
provide as follows:

11.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify
and advance expenses to its current and former Directors and officers to the
extent provided by the Charter.

11.2 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. With respect to employees and
agents who are not officers or Directors of the Corporation, the Corporation
may, as determined by the Board of Directors, indemnify and advance expenses to
such persons to the extent permissible under the Maryland General Corporation
Law, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, as such statutes
are now or hereafter in force.

11.3 Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by
this Article 11 or provided by the Charter shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other right, in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses or
otherwise, to which those seeking such indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled under any insurance, contract or other agreement, vote
of shareholders or Directors or otherwise. Neither the amendment nor repeal of
this Article, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Bylaws
or Charter inconsistent with this Article, shall apply to or affect in any
respect the applicability of the provisions of this Article with respect to any
act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or
adoption.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1940 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event of a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered) the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the


                                       6
<PAGE>

question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the 1940 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue. In the absence of a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the determinations that indemnification against such liabilities is proper, and
advances can be made, are made by a majority of a quorum of the disinterested,
non-party directors of the Fund, or an independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, based on review of readily available facts.

Deutsche Investment Management Americas, Inc. (hereafter, "DIMA"), the
investment advisor, has agreed, subject to applicable law and regulation, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant against any loss, damage, liability
and expense, including, without limitation, the advancement and payment, as
incurred, of reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including counsel to the
Registrant and counsel to the Independent Trustees) and consultants, whether
retained by the Registrant or the Independent Trustees, and other customary
costs and expenses incurred by the Registrant in connection with any litigation
or regulatory action related to possible improper market timing or other
improper trading activity or possible improper marketing and sales activity in
the Registrant ("Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions"). In the event that
this indemnification is unavailable to the Registrant for any reason, then DIMA
has agreed to contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Registrant as a
result of any loss, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of DIMA and the Registrant with
respect to the matters which resulted in such loss, damage, liability or
expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that
if no final determination is made in such action or proceeding as to the
relative fault of DIMA and the Registrant, then DIMA shall pay the entire amount
of such loss, damage, liability or expense.

In recognition of its undertaking to indemnify the Registrant, and in light of
the rebuttable presumption generally afforded to non-interested board members of
an investment company that they have not engaged in disabling conduct, DIMA has
also agreed, subject to applicable law and regulation, to indemnify and hold
harmless each of the Independent Trustees against any and all loss, damage,
liability and expense, including without limitation the advancement and payment
as incurred of reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and consultants, and
other customary costs and expenses incurred by the Independent Trustees, arising
from the matters alleged in any Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions or
matters arising from or similar in subject matter to the matters alleged in the
Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions (collectively, "Covered Matters"),
including without limitation:

1. all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by the Independent Trustees
in connection with the Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions, and any
actions that may be threatened or commenced in the future by any person
(including any governmental authority), arising from or similar to the matters
alleged in the Private Litigation and Enforcement Actions, including without
limitation expenses related to the defense of, service as a witness in, or
monitoring of such proceedings or actions;

2. all liabilities and reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by any
Independent Trustee in connection with any judgment resulting from, or
settlement of, any such proceeding, action or matter;

3. any loss or reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by any Independent
Trustee as a result of the denial of, or dispute about, any insurance claim
under, or actual or purported rescission or termination of, any policy of
insurance arranged by DIMA (or by a representative of DIMA acting as such,
acting as a representative of the Registrant or of the Independent Trustees or
acting otherwise) for the benefit of the Independent Trustee, to the extent that
such denial, dispute or rescission is based in whole or in part upon any alleged
misrepresentation made in the application for such policy or any other alleged
improper conduct on the part of DIMA, any of its corporate affiliates, or any of
their directors, officers or employees;

4. any loss or reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by any Independent
Trustee, whether or not such loss or expense is incurred with respect to a
Covered Matter, which is otherwise covered under the terms of any specified
policy of insurance, but for which the Independent Trustee is unable to obtain
advancement of expenses or indemnification under that policy of insurance, due
to the exhaustion of policy limits which is due in whole or in part to DIMA or
any affiliate thereof having received advancement of expenses or indemnification
under that policy for or with respect to any Covered Matter; provided, that the
total amount that DIMA will be obligated to pay under this provision for all
loss or expense shall not exceed the amount that DIMA and any of its affiliates
actually receive under that policy of insurance for or with respect to any and
all Covered Matters; and



                                       7
<PAGE>

5. all liabilities and reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by any
Independent Trustee in connection with any proceeding or action to enforce his
or her rights under the agreement, unless DIMA prevails on the merits of any
such dispute in a final, nonappealable court order.

DIMA is not required to pay costs or expenses or provide indemnification to or
for any individual Independent Trustee (i) with respect to any particular
proceeding or action as to which the Board of the Registrant has determined that
such Independent Trustee ultimately would not be entitled to indemnification
with respect thereto, or (ii) for any liability of the Independent Trustee to
the Registrant or its shareholders to which such Independent Trustee would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of the Independent Trustee's duties as a
Trustee of the Registrant as determined in a final adjudication in such
proceeding or action. In addition, to the extent that DIMA has paid costs or
expenses under the agreement to any individual Independent Trustee with respect
to a particular proceeding or action, and there is a final adjudication in such
proceeding or action of the Independent Trustee's liability to the Registrant or
its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence,
or reckless disregard of the Independent Trustee's duties as a Trustee of the
Registrant, such Independent Trustee has undertaken to repay such costs or
expenses to DIMA.
