thereof the following:
(d) VOTING. On any matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders of the
Trust, all Shares of all Series and Classes then entitled to vote shall be
voted together, except that (i) when required by the 1940 Act to be voted
by individual Series or Class, Shares shall be voted by individual Series
or Class, or (ii) when the matter affects only the interests of
Shareholders of one or more Series or Classes, only Shareholders of such

RESOLVED, the Declaration of Trust is hereby amended by deleting the
present Section 3 of Article V and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
SECTION 3. QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE
Except when a larger quorum is required by applicable law, by the Bylaws or

the Bylaws or by applicable law.
RESOLVED, the Declaration of Trust is hereby amended by deleting the
present Section 4 of Article VIII and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
SECTION 4. TERMINATION OF TRUST, SERIES OR CLASS
Unless terminated as provided herein, the Trust shall continue without
limitation of time. The Trust may be terminated at any time by vote of at
least two-thirds (66 (2)/3%) of the Shares of each Series entitled to vote,
voting separately by Series, or by the Trustees by written notice to the
Shareholders. Any Series or Class may be terminated at any time by vote of
at least two-thirds (66 (2)/3%) of the Shares of that Series or Class, or
by the Trustees by written notice to the Shareholders of that Series or
Class.
Upon termination of the Trust (or any Series or Class, as the case may be),
after paying or otherwise providing for all charges, taxes, expenses and
liabilities belonging, severally, to each Series (or the applicable Series
or Class, as the case may be), whether due or accrued or anticipated as may
be determined by the Trustees, the Trust shall, in accordance with such
procedures as the Trustees consider appropriate, reduce the remaining
assets belonging, severally, to each Series (or the applicable Series or
Class, as the case may be), to distributable form in cash or shares or
other securities, or any combination thereof, and distribute the proceeds
belonging to each Series (or the applicable Series or Class, as the case
may be), to the Shareholders of that Series or Class, as a Series or Class,
ratably according to the number of Shares of that Series or Class held by
the several Shareholders on the date of termination.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustees do hereto set their hands as of the date
written above.
