(144A)     Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the
         Securities Act of 1933.  Such securities may be resold normally to
           qualified institutional buyers in a transaction exempt from
           registration.  At September 30, 2009, the value of these
           securities amounted to $1,896,289 or 0.4% of total net assets.

(a)        At September 30, 2009, the net unrealized loss on
           investments based on cost for federal income tax
           purposes of $464,780,016 was as follows:

           Aggregate gross unrealized gain for all investments
           in which there is an excess of value over tax cost     $2,127,187

           Aggregate gross unrealized loss for all investments
           in which there is an excess of tax cost over value    (26,414,174)

           Net unrealized loss                                  $(24,286,987)

           Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's
           investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad
           levels listed below.
           Highest priority is given to Level 1 inputs and lowest priority
                is given to Level 3.
           Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
           Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted
            prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
               credit risk, etc.)
           Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's
               own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

           The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September
           30, 2009, in valuing the Fund's assets:
