Common use of Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share Clause in Contracts

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The term “Net Asset Value per Share” of any Series or Class shall be determined in accordance with the methods and procedures established by the Trustees from time to time and, to the extent required by applicable law, as disclosed in the then current prospectus or statement of additional information for the Series. In the absence of action by the Trustees, the term “Net Asset Value per Share” of any Series or Class shall mean that amount by which the assets belonging to that Series or Class exceed its liabilities divided by the number of relevant Outstanding Shares. The Trustees may delegate the power and duty to determine the Net Asset Value per Share to one or more Trustees or officers of the Trust or to a manager, investment adviser, administrator, custodian, depository or other agent appointed for such purpose. The Net Asset Value per Share shall be determined separately for each Series and Class at times prescribed by the Trustees or, in the absence of action by the Trustees, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day for all or part of which such exchange is open for regular trading. At any time the Trustees may cause the Net Asset Value per Share last determined to be determined again in a similar manner and may fix the time when such redetermined values shall become effective. In the event that the Trust, a Series or Class sells or redeems Shares at a Net Asset Value per Share that is subsequently determined not to have been calculated in accordance with the applicable methods and procedures established by the Trustees (“Initial Net Asset Value per Share”) and it is determined to reprocess such sales and redemptions at the Net Asset Value per Share calculated in accordance with the applicable methods and procedures established by the Trustees (“Final Net Asset Value per Share”), the Trust, Series or Class, as the case may be, shall have no liability, based on any difference between the Initial Net Asset Value per Share and the Final Net Asset Value per Share, to any Shareholder who did not purchase their Shares directly from the Trust, or redeem their Shares directly to the Trust, at the Initial Net Asset Value per Share.
