Determination of Net Income. CONSTANT NET ASSET VALUE; REDUCTION OF OUTSTANDING SHARES. Subject to Section 5.11 hereof, the net income of the Series and Classes thereof of the Trust shall be determined in such manner as the Trustees shall provide by resolution. Expenses of the Trust or of a Series or Class thereof, including the advisory or management fee, shall be accrued each day. Each Class shall bear only expenses relating to its Shares and an allocable share of Series expenses in accordance with such policies as may be established by the Trustees from time to time and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Declaration or of any applicable document filed by the Trust with the Commission or of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such net income may be determined by or under the direction of the Trustees as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day on which such market is open or as of such other time or times as the Trustees shall determine, and, except as provided herein, all the net income of any Series or Class, as so determined, may be declared as a dividend on the Outstanding Shares of such Series or Class. If, for any reason, the net income of any Series or Class determined at any time is a negative amount, or for any other reason, the Trustees shall have the power with respect to such Series or Class (i) to offset each Shareholder's pro rata share of such negative amount from the accrued dividend account of such Shareholder, or (ii) to reduce the number of Outstanding Shares of such Series or Class by reducing the number of Shares in the account of such Shareholder by that number of full and fractional Shares which represents the amount of such excess negative net income, or (iii) to cause to be recorded on the books of the Trust an asset account in the amount of such negative net income, which account may be reduced by the amount, provided that the same shall thereupon become the property of the Trust with respect to such Series or Class and shall not be paid to any Shareholder, of dividends declared thereafter upon the Outstanding Shares of such Series or Class on the day such negative net income is experienced, until such asset account is reduced to zero. The Trustees shall have full discretion to determine whether any cash or property received shall be treated as income or as principal and whether any item of expense shall be charged to the income or the principal account, and their determination made in good faith shall be conclusive upon the Shareholders. In the case of stock dividends received, the Trustees shall have full discretion to determine, in the light of the particular circumstances, how much if any of the value thereof shall be treated as income, the balance, if any, to be treated as principal.
