replaced with the following:
"10. Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect until

terms, and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter only
so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually
by (a) the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not
parties hereto or interested persons of any such party, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the
terms of such renewal, and (b) either the Trustees of the

than three hundred sixty-five (365) days may have elapsed since the
date on which such approval was last given."
3. The parties acknowledge that the Agreement, as amended, remains in
full force and effect as of the date of this Amendment, and that this Amendment,

understanding and the full and complete agreement of the parties and supercedes
and replaces any prior understandings and agreements among the parties
respecting the subject matter hereof.
4. This Amendment may be contemporaneously executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
