No Voting of Repurchased Shares. Subject to applicable federal law including the 1940 Act, to the extent so determined by the Trustees, upon repurchase, Shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding or carry any voting rights irrespective of whether a record date for any matter on which Shares were entitled to vote had been set on a date prior to the date on which such Shares were redeemed or repurchased. In making a determination as to which Shares shall be deemed outstanding and carry any voting rights with respect to any matter on which such Shares were entitled to vote prior to redemption or repurchase, subject to applicable federal law including the 1940 Act, the Trustees may, among other things, determine that Shares redeemed or repurchased either before or after a date specified by the Trustees between the record date for such matter and the meeting date for such matter shall be deemed outstanding and retain voting rights, which determination may be made for any reason including that it would not be reasonably practicable to obtain a quorum if all of the Shares redeemed or repurchased after a record date for such matter and before the voting date no longer were deemed outstanding and carried any voting rights.
