(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

You agree to notify us promptly and to immediately suspend sales of Portfolio shares in the event of any such filing or violation, or in the event that you cease to be a member in good standing of the NASD.
