Class, or (ii) when the matter affects only the interests of Shareholders of one or more Series or
Classes, only Shareholders of such one or more Series or Classes shall be entitled to vote thereon.
RESOLVED, the Declaration of Trust is hereby amended by deleting the present Section 3 of Article V

one-third of the Shares of each such Series or Class entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a

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.
