ARTICLE III

Shareholders

SECTION 1. MEETINGS. Meetings of the Shareholders shall be held at the principal executive offices of the Trust or at such other place within the United States of America as the Trustees shall designate.  Meetings of the Shareholders shall be called by the Secretary whenever (i) ordered by the Trustees or (ii) for the purpose of voting on the removal of any Trustee, requested in writing by Shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote. If the Secretary, when so ordered or requested, refuses or neglects for more than 10 days to call such meetings, the Trustees or the Shareholders so requesting, may, in the name of the Secretary, call the meeting by giving notice thereof in the manner required when notice is given by the Secretary.

SECTION 2. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notice of all meetings of the Shareholders, stating the time, place and purposes of the meeting, shall be given by the Secretary by delivering or mailing, postage prepaid, to each Shareholder at his or her address as recorded on the register of the Trust at least (10) days and not more than ninety (90) days before the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. No notice need be given to any Shareholder who shall have failed to inform the Trust of his or her current address or if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting by the Shareholder or his or her authorized attorney, is filed with the records of the meeting.

SECTION 3. RECORD DATE FOR MEETINGS. For the purpose of determining the Shareholders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting, the Trustees may from time to time close the transfer books for such period, not exceeding thirty (30) days, as the Trustees may determine; or without closing the transfer books the Trustees may fix a date not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of any meeting of Shareholders as a record date for the determination of the persons to be treated as Shareholders of record for such purpose.

SECTION 4. PROXIES. At any meeting of Shareholders, any holder of Shares entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Secretary, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Secretary may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4 to the contrary, the Trustees may at any time adopt one or more electronic, telecommunication or other alternatives to execution of a written instrument that will enable holders of Shares entitled to vote at any meeting to appoint a proxy to vote such holders' Shares at such meeting. Proxies may be solicited in the name of one or more Trustees or one or more of the officers of the Trust. Only Shareholders of record shall be entitled to vote. Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled by the Declaration of Trust to vote, and each fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. When any Share is held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Share, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Share. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. If the holder of any such Share is a minor or a person of unsound mind, and subject to guardianship or the legal control of any other person as regards the charge or management of such Share, he or she may vote by his or her guardian or such other person appointed or having such control, and such vote may be given in person or by proxy. At all meetings of the Shareholders, unless the voting is conducted by inspectors, all questions relating to the qualifications of voters, the validity of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the chairman of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Declaration of Trust, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Shareholders were shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

SECTION 5. INSPECTION OF BOOKS. The Trustees shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places, and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Trust or any of them shall be open to the inspection of the Shareholders; and no Shareholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Trust except as conferred by law or otherwise by the Trustees or by resolution of the Shareholders.

SECTION 6. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action that may be taken at any meeting of Shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the holders of outstanding Shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all Shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the records of Shareholder meetings. Such consents shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of Shareholders.

SECTION 7. APPLICATION OF THIS ARTICLE. Meetings of Shareholders shall consist of all Shareholders, as determined pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, and this Article shall be construed accordingly.

A notice or waiver of notice need not specify the purpose of any meeting, except as may be required by applicable law. The Trustees may meet by means of a telephone conference circuit or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting are connected, which meeting shall be deemed to have been held at a place designated by the Trustees at the meeting. Participation in a telephone conference meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Trustees may be taken by the Trustees without a meeting if a majority of the Trustees then in office (or such higher number of Trustees as would be required to act on the matter under the Declaration of Trust, these By-Laws or applicable law if a meeting were held) consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of the Trustees' meetings.

Indemnification of Trustees, Officers, Employees and Other Agents

SECTION 1. AGENTS, PROCEEDINGS, EXPENSES. For the purpose of this Article, "agent" means any Person who is or was a Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust or is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise; "proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including appeals); and "expenses" includes, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and all other liabilities whatsoever.

Subject to the exceptions and limitation contained in Section 3 below, every agent shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liabilities and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any proceeding in which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been an agent.

8

SECTION 3. LIMITATIONS, SETTLEMENTS. No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to an agent:

(a) who shall have been adjudicated by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office (collectively, "disabling conduct"); or

(b) with respect to any proceeding disposed of (whether by settlement, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that such agent was liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of disabling conduct, unless there has been a determination that such agent did not engage in disabling conduct:

(i) by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought;

(ii) by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor are parties to the proceeding based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or

(iii) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); provided, however, that indemnification shall be provided hereunder to an agent with respect to any proceeding in the event of (1) a final decision on the merits by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that the agent was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (2) the dismissal of the proceeding by the court or other body before which it was brought for insufficiency of evidence of any disabling conduct with which such agent has been charged.

SECTION 4. INSURANCE, RIGHTS NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust on behalf of any agent, shall be severable, shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any agent may now or hereafter be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any agent.

SECTION 5. ADVANCE OF EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by an agent in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any proceeding shall be paid by the Trust from time to time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such agent that such amount will be paid over by him or her to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under this Article XI; provided, however, that (a) such agent shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the proceedings, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry or full investigation), that there is reason to believe that such agent will be found entitled to indemnification under this Article XI.

9

SECTION 6. FIDUCIARIES OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN. The Article does not apply to any proceeding against any Trustee, investment manager or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in that person's capacity as such, even though that person may also be an agent of this Trust as defined in Section 1 of this Article. Nothing contained in this Article shall limit any right to indemnification to which such Trustee, investment manager, or other fiduciary may be entitled by contract or otherwise which shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law other than this Article.
