"Resignation and Retirement" to mandatory retirement of Trustees as set forth in
the Trust's Retirement Plan for Non-interested Trustees or Directors, as the
same may be amended from time to time.
2. Section 3.1(b) shall be amended by replacing the second sentence thereof
with the following:

and each Series of the Trust hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
and all Trustees shall be subject to the provisions with respect to
mandatory retirement set forth in the Retirement Plan for Non-interested
