Series Liabilities and Expenses. The assets belonging to each particular Series shall be charged with the liabilities of the Trust in respect of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series, and any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees to and among any one or more of the Series in such manner and on such basis as the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes. Without limitation of the foregoing, the liabilities existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series only and not against the assets of the Trust generally. Any person extending credit to, contracting with or otherwise having any claim against any Series may look only to the assets of that Series to satisfy any such obligation or claim. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series shall have any claim on or any right to any assets allocated to or belonging to any other Series. Notice of this limitation on Series liabilities may, in the Trustees' sole discretion, be set forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act, and upon the giving of such notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on Series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series.
