8. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
The Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is pending by notifying Shareholders of such extension.

If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify Shareholders.
The Fund may cancel the Offer, amend the Offer, or postpone the acceptance of tenders made pursuant to the Offer, if: (a) the Fund would not be able to liquidate portfolio securities in an orderly manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies in order to purchase Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) there is, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees, any (i) legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging the Offer or otherwise materially adversely affecting the Fund, (ii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal or state authorities, or suspension of payment by banks in the United States or New York State, which is material to the Fund, (iii) limitation imposed by federal or state authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions, (iv) suspension of trading on any organized exchange or over-the-counter market where the Fund has a material investment, (v) commencement of war, armed hostilities, or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States which is material to the Fund (although the Fund acknowledges the military actions involving the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the surrounding regions and has determined, as of the date hereof, that such actions are not material to the Fund), (vi) material decrease in the net asset value of the Fund from the net asset value of the Fund most recently calculated as of the Commencement Date, or (vii) other event or condition which would have a material adverse effect on the Fund or its Shareholders if Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer were purchased; or (c) the Board of Trustees determines that it is not in the best interest of the Fund to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer.
