Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder approval, to create new series and classes of shares. The Trustees may reclassify unissued shares of the Fund into additional series or classes of shares. The Trustees also may divide or combine the shares of a class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings. The Fund currently has five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Only certain institutional investors may elect to purchase Class Y shares. Each class of shares: o has its own dividends and distributions, o pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes, o may have a different net asset value, o may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are different from interests of another class, and o votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone. Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class.
Classes of Shares. The Trust shall initially consist of one Class of an unlimited number of Common Shares. The Trustees may from time to time authorize the division of Shares of the Trust into additional Classes and any such Classes may be further divided into series or sub-classes, and if so divided, all references to Classes herein shall include references to any series or sub-class thereof, except as the context may otherwise require. The relative rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and other relative terms of a Class and any series or sub-class thereof shall be established and designated by the Trustees and may be modified by the Trustees from time to time. The Trustees may divide or combine Shares of any Class or any series or sub-class thereof into a lesser or greater number, including, without limitation, by a division or combination accomplished by means of a stock split or a reverse stock split, without thereby changing their proportionate beneficial interest in the Trust; classify or reclassify any issued or unissued Shares of any Class or any series or sub-class thereof into one or more Classes, series or sub-classes; combine two or more Classes or series or sub-classes thereof into a single Class or series or sub-class; terminate any one or more Classes or series or sub-classes thereof; change the name or other designation of a Class or series or sub-class thereof; and take such other action with respect to the Classes or series or sub-classes thereof as the Trustees may deem desirable. To the extent necessary or appropriate to give effect to the preferences and special or relative rights and privileges of any Classes, or series or sub-classes thereof, the Trustees may allocate assets, liabilities, income and expenses to a particular Class or series or sub-class thereof or apportion the same among two or more Classes or series or sub-classes thereof. Except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Declaration or in a Statement establishing and designating Classes of Shares, the Shares shall have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions described below:
Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has different shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to Class B, Class C, Class N or Class Y shares and the dividends payable on Class B, Class C, Class N or Class Y shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject. The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time the investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B, Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares is the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to compensate the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions that sell shares of the Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive compensation from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares than another. The Distributor will not accept any order in the amount of $500,000 or more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts). That is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase Class A shares of the Fund.

Classes of Shares. The Board of Trustees has the power, without shareholder approval, to divide unissued shares of the Fund into two or more classes. The Board has done so, and the Fund currently has three classes of shares, Class A, Class B and Class C. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Each class of shares: o has its own dividends and distributions, o pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes, o may have a different net asset value, o may have separate voting rights on matters in which the interests of one class are different from the interests of another class, and o votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Shares are freely transferable. Each share has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class. The Trustees are authorized to create new series and classes of shares. The Trustees may reclassify unissued shares of the Fund into additional series or classes of shares. The Trustees also may divide or combine the shares of a class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

Classes of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, the right of any Tag Along Holder to include Shares in any Sale in accordance with this Section 4.1 shall be limited to a right to include Shares in such Sale which are of the same Class as the Shares to be included in such Sale by the Prospective Selling Investors, and all determinations under this Section 4.1 shall be made on the basis of the holdings of Shares of the Class of Shares to be included in such Sale by the Prospective Selling Investor (including the Tag Along Sale Percentage).
Classes of Shares. Without limitation of any other powers accorded to them by this Declaration or otherwise, the Trustees shall have power, at any time or from time to time, and without the necessity for any Shareholder approval, by vote of a Majority of the Trustees, to authorize two or more separate Classes of Shares of any Existing Series, or any Additional Series initially authorized without Classes, or to classify or reclassify any unissued Shares of any Series, or any Shares of any Series previously issued and reacquired by the Trust (including in either case Shares of the Existing Portfolios) into any number of additional Classes of such Series, as they deem necessary or desirable, and in either such connection to fix and determine the relative rights and burdens of Shares of the respective Classes of such Series as to sales charges, redemption charges or other fees and charges, allocations of expenses, conversion rights, and conditions under which Shareholders of the several Classes shall have separate voting rights or (subject to Article 7 hereof) no voting rights. Any such authorization of Classes or reclassification of Shares shall be effective upon the execution by a Majority of the Trustees (or by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a Majority of the Trustees) and the deposit among the records of the Trust of an instrument setting forth such provisions and the manner in which the same may be amended. At any time at which no Shares of a particular Class and no Shares of any other Class which are convertible into Shares of such Class are outstanding, the Trustees may terminate such Class. Any such termination of a Class shall be effective upon the execution by a Majority of the Trustees (or by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a Majority of the Trustees) and the deposit among the records of the Trust of an instrument stating that such Class is terminated. The differing rights and obligations of each Class of Shares shall be set forth in the Prospectus under which the Shares of such Class are sold, and the Trustees may not change such rights and obligations in a manner adverse to the holders of outstanding Shares of such Class, or grant any preferences over such Class to the holders of shares of any other Class without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” of such Class, as the quoted phrase is used in the 1940 Act.
Classes of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, the obligation of any holder of Shares to include Shares in any Sale in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be limited to an obligation to include Shares in such Sale which are of the same Class as the Shares to be included in such Sale by the Prospective Selling Investors, and all determinations under this Section 4.2 shall be made on the basis of the holdings of Shares of the Class of Shares to be included in such Sale by the Prospective Selling Investor (including the Drag Along Sale Percentage).
