(ii)

any Contracting Party may have a contract providing for the rendering of any similar services to one or more other corporations, trusts, associations, partnerships, limited partnerships or other organizations, or have other business or interests, shall not affect the validity of any contract for the performance and assumption of services, duties and responsibilities to, for or of the Trust or any Portfolio and/or the Trustees or disqualify any Shareholder, Trustee or officer of the Trust from voting upon or executing the same or create any liability or accountability to the Trust, any Portfolio or its Shareholders, provided that, in the case of any relationship or interest referred to in the preceding clause (i) on the part of any Trustee or officer of the Trust either:

and the specific contract involved is fair to the Trust as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Trustees or by the Shareholders.

Section 3.4 Payment of Trust Expenses and Compensation of Trustees. The Trustees are authorized to pay or to cause to be paid out of the principal or income of the Trust or any Portfolio, or partly out of principal and partly out of income, and to charge or allocate the same to, between or among such one or more of the Portfolios and/or one or more Classes of Shares thereof that may be established and designated pursuant to Article IV, as the Trustees deem fair, all expenses, fees charges, taxes and liabilities incurred or arising in connection with the Trust, any Portfolio and/or any Class of Shares thereof, or in connection with the management thereof, including, but not limited to, the Trustees’ compensation and such expenses and charges for the services of the Trust’s officers, employees, investment adviser, administrator, distributor, principal underwriter, auditors, counsel, depository, custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, accounting agent, Shareholder servicing agent, and such other agents, consultants, and independent contractors and such other expenses and charges as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur.

Section 3.5 Ownership of Assets of the Trust. Title to all of the assets of the Trust and each Portfolio shall at all times be considered as vested in the Trustees on behalf of the Trust, except that the Trustees shall have power to cause legal title to any Trust property to be held by or in the name of the Trust, or in the name of any other person as nominee, on such terms as the Trustees may determine. The right, title and interest of the Trustees in the Trust property shall vest automatically in each person who may hereafter become a Trustee. Upon the resignation, removal or death of a Trustee, he or she shall automatically cease to have any right, title or interest in any of the Trust property, and the right, title and interest of such Trustee in the Trust property shall vest automatically in the remaining Trustees. Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered.

Section 3.6 Action by Trustees. Except as otherwise provided by applicable provisions of the 1940 Act or other applicable law, this Trust Agreement or the Bylaws, any action to be taken by the Trustees on behalf of or with respect to the Trust or any Portfolio or Class thereof may be taken by (a) a majority vote of the Trustees present at a meeting of Trustees (a quorum, consisting of at least·one-half of the Trustees then in office, being present), within or without Delaware, including any meeting held by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and participation by such means shall constitute presence at a meeting; or (b) a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, and signed by a majority of the Trustees.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 Beneficial Interest. The beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into an unlimited number of Shares, all without par value.

Section 4.2 Portfolios and Classes.

(a) The Trustees shall have the authority from time to time to issue Shares in one or more series (each of which series of Shares shall represent the beneficial interest in a separate and distinct Portfolio of the Trust, including without limitation each Portfolio specifically established and designated in Schedule A, as they deem necessary or desirable. The Trustees shall have exclusive power without the requirement of Shareholder approval to establish and designate all terms and conditions of such separate and distinct Portfolios, including as to fees and charges, right of redemption and the price, terms and manner of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, sinking or purchase fund provisions, conversion rights, conditions under which the several Portfolios shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights, and arrangements for distribution and administration.

(b) The Trustees shall have exclusive power, without the requirement of Shareholder approval, to issue Classes of Shares of any Portfolio or divide the Shares of any Portfolio into Classes, and to establish all terms and conditions of each Class, including as to fees, charges, right of redemption and the price terms and manner of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, sinking or purchase fund provisions, conversion rights, conditions under which several Portfolios shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights, and arrangements for distribution or administration. The fact that a Portfolio shall have initially been established and designated without any specific establishment or designation of Classes (i.e., that all Shares of such Portfolio are initially of a single Class), or that a Portfolio shall have more than one established and designated Class, shall not limit the authority of the Trustees to establish and designate or redesignate separate Classes, or one or more further Classes, of said Portfolio without approval of the holders of the initial Class thereof.

(c) The number of authorized Shares and the number of Shares of each Portfolio or Class thereof that may be issued is unlimited, and the Trustees may issue Shares of any Portfolio or Class thereof for such consideration and on such terms as they may determine (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Share dividend or split-up), all without action or approval of the Shareholders. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the Trustees shall be full paid and non-assessable (but may be subject to any deemed contribution of capital as described in Section 4.3(h) below). The Trustees may classify or reclassify any unissued Shares or any Shares previously issued and reacquired by any Portfolio or Class thereof into one or more Portfolios or Classes thereof that may be established and designated from time to time. The Trustees may hold as treasury Shares, reissue for such consideration and on such terms as they may determine, or cancel, at their discretion from time to time, any Shares of any Portfolio or Class thereof reacquired by the Trust.

(d) The Trustees may from time to time close the transfer books or establish record dates and times for the purpose of determining the holders of Shares entitled to be treated as such, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Bylaws.

(e) The establishment and designation of any Portfolio or of any Class of Shares of any Portfolio in addition to those established and designated in Section 4.2 shall be effective (i) upon the execution by a majority of the then Trustees of an instrument setting forth such establishment and designation of the relative rights and preferences of the Shares of such Portfolio or Class, (ii) upon the execution of an instrument in writing by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a majority of the Trustees, or (iii) as otherwise provided in either such instrument. At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of any particular Portfolio or Class previously established and designated, the Trustees may by an instrument executed by a majority of their number (or by an instrument executed by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a majority of the Trustees) abolish that Portfolio or Class and the establishment and designation thereof. Each instrument establishing and designating any Portfolio shall have the status of an amendment to this Trust Agreement.

(f) Any Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust, and any organization in which any such person is interested may acquire, own, hold and dispose of Shares of any Portfolio (including any Classes thereof) of the Trust to the same extent as if such person were not a Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust; and the Trust may issue and sell or cause to be issued and sold and may purchase Shares of any Portfolio (including any Classes thereof) from any such person or any such organization subject only to the general limitations, restrictions or other provisions applicable to the sale or purchase of Shares of such Portfolio (including any Classes thereof) generally.

Section 4.3 Relative Rights and Preferences Among Portfolios. The Shares of such Portfolios and any Shares of any further Portfolio that may from time to time be established and designated by the Trustees shall (unless the Trustees otherwise with respect to some further Portfolio at the time of establishing and designating the same) have the following relative rights and preferences:

(a) Assets Belonging to Portfolios. All net consideration received by the Trust for the issuance or sale of Shares of a particular Portfolio or any Classes thereof, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be held by the Trustees in trust for the benefit of the holders of Shares of that Portfolio and shall irrevocably belong to the Portfolio for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of such Portfolio, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Trust. Such consideration, assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be, together with any General Items (as hereinafter defined) allocated to that Portfolio as provided in the following sentence, are herein referred to as “assets belonging to” that Portfolio. In the event that there are any assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Portfolio (collectively “General Items”), the Trustees shall allocate such General Items to, between or among any one or more of the Portfolios established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Any General Items so allocated to a particular Portfolio shall belong to that Portfolio. Each such allocation by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the holders of all Shares of all Portfolios for all purposes.

(b) Liabilities Belonging to Portfolios. The assets belonging to each particular Portfolio shall be charged with the liabilities in respect of that Portfolio and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Portfolio. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Portfolio shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees to, between or among any one or more of the Portfolios established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as the Trustees in their sole discretion deem ·fair and equitable. The liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves so allocated by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders, creditors and any other persons dealing with the Trust or any Portfolio (including any Classes thereof) for all purposes. Any creditor of any Portfolio may look only to the assets of that Portfolio to satisfy such creditor’s debt.

(c) Dividends. Dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Portfolio may be paid with such frequency as the Trustees may determine, which may be daily or otherwise pursuant to a standing resolution or resolutions adopted only once or with such frequency as the Trustees may determine to the holders of Shares of that Portfolio, from such of the income and capital gains, accrued or realized, from the assets belonging to that Portfolio, as the Trustees may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities belonging to that Portfolio. All dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Portfolio thereof shall be distributed pro rata to each holder of Shares of that Portfolio in proportion to the total net asset value of Shares of that Portfolio held by such holder at the date and time of record established for the payment of such dividends or distributions, except that, in connection with any dividend or distribution program or procedure, the Trustees may determine that no dividend or distribution shall be payable on Shares as to which the Shareholder’s purchase order and/or payments have not been received by the time or times established by the Trustees under such program or procedure. Such dividends and distributions may be made in cash or Shares of that Portfolio or a combination thereof as determined by the Trustees or pursuant to any program that the Trustees may have in effect at the time for the election by each Shareholder of the mode of the making of such dividend or distribution to that Shareholder. Any such dividend or distribution paid in Shares will be paid at the net asset value thereof as determined in accordance with subsection (h) of this Section 4.3.

The Trustees shall have full discretion to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital; and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders.

(d) Liquidation. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Trust or any Portfolio thereof, the holders of Shares of each affected Portfolio shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Trustees, the excess of the assets belonging to that Portfolio over the liabilities belonging to that Portfolio. The assets so distributable to the holders of Shares of any particular Portfolio shall be distributed among such holders in proportion to the aggregate net asset value of all the Snares of that Portfolio held by them and recorded on the books of the Trust. The liquidation of any particular Portfolio or Class thereof may be authorized at any time by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office.

(e) Voting. On each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, each holder of a Share shall be entitled to one vote for each whole Share standing in his name on the books of the Trust irrespective of the Portfolio, and all Shares of all Portfolios shall vote together; provided, however, that (i) as to any matter with respect to which a separate vote of one or more Portfolios or Classes is required by any applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, such requirement shall apply in lieu of all Shares of all Portfolios voting together; and (ii) in any event, as to any matter which affects only the interests of one or more particular Portfolios or Classes, only the holders of Shares of the one or more affected Portfolios or Classes shall be entitled to vote, and each such Portfolio or Class shall vote as a separate class.

(f) Redemption by Shareholder. Each holder of Shares of a particular Portfolio shall have the right at such times as may be permitted by the Trust, consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act, to require the Trust to redeem all or any part of his Shares of that Portfolio on terms consistent with any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and at a redemption price equal to the net asset value per Share of that Portfolio or Class thereof determined in accordance with subsection (h) of this Section 4.3 after the Shares are properly tendered for redemption, subject to any contingent deferred sales charge or redemption charge in effect at the time of redemption. Payment of the redemption price shall be in cash; provided that, if the Trustees determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that conditions exist that make payment wholly in cash unwise or undesirable, the Trust may, subject to requirements of the 1940 Act, make payment wholly or partly in securities or other assets belonging to the Portfolio of which the Shares being redeemed are part at the value of such securities or other assets used in such determination of net asset value.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust may postpone payment of the redemption price and may suspend the right of the holders of Shares of any Portfolio to require the Trust to redeem Shares of that Portfolio during any period or at any time when (and to the extent) permissible under the 1940 Act.

(g) Redemption by Trust. Each Share of each Portfolio is subject to redemption by and at the option of the Trust at the redemption price that would be applicable if such Share was then being redeemed by the Shareholder pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 4.3: (i) at any time, if the Trustees determine in their sole discretion that failure to so redeem may have materially adverse consequences to the Trust or any Portfolio or to the holders of the Shares of the Trust or any Portfolio thereof or Class thereof, or (ii) upon such other conditions as may from time to time be determined by the Trustees and set forth in the then current Prospectus of the Trust. Upon such redemption, the holders of the Shares so redeemed shall have no further right with respect thereto other than to receive payment of such redemption price.

(h) Net Asset Value. The net asset value per Share of any Portfolio that has only one Class of Shares outstanding shall be (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the value of the net assets of that Portfolio (being the value of the assets belonging to that Portfolio less the liabilities belonging to that Portfolio) by the total number of Shares of that Portfolio outstanding; all determined in accordance with the methods and procedures, including without limitation those with respect to rounding, established by the Trustees from time to time.

The Trustees may determine to maintain the net asset· value per Share of any Portfolio at a designated constant dollar amount and in connection therewith may adopt procedures not inconsistent with any applicable provisions of the 1940 Act for the continuing declarations of income attributable to that Portfolio as dividends payable in additional Shares of that Portfolio at the designated constant dollar amount and for the handling of any losses attributable to that Portfolio. Such procedures may provide that in the event of any loss each Shareholder shall be deemed to have contributed to the capital of the Trust attributable to that Portfolio his pro rata portion of the total number of Shares required to be canceled in order to permit the net asset value per Share of that Portfolio to be maintained, after reflecting such loss, at the designated constant dollar amount. Each Shareholder of the Trust shall be deemed to have agreed, by his investment in any Portfolio with respect to which the Trustees shall have adopted any such procedure, to make the contribution referred to in the preceding sentence in the event of any such loss.

(i) Transfer. All Shares of each Portfolio shall be transferable, but transfers of Shares will be recorded on the Share transfer records of the Trust applicable to a Portfolio only at such times as Shareholders shall have the right to require the Trust to redeem Shares of that Portfolio and of the same Class and at such other times as may be permitted by the Trustees.

(j) Equality. Except as provided herein or in the instrument designating and establishing any Portfolio or Class thereof, all Shares of each particular Portfolio shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to that Portfolio, subject to the liabilities belonging to that Portfolio, and each Share of any Portfolio shall be equal to each other Share of that Portfolio or Class; but the provisions of this sentence shall not restrict any distinctions permissible under subsection (c) of this Section 4.2 that may exist with respect to dividends and distributions on Shares of the same Portfolio or Class. The Trustees may from time to time divide or combine the Shares of any Portfolio into a greater or lesser number of Shares of that Portfolio without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that Portfolio or those Shares or in any way affecting the rights of any Shares of any Portfolio.

(k) Fractions. Any fractional Share of any Portfolio shall carry proportionately all the rights and obligations of a whole Share of that Portfolio, including rights and obligations with respect to voting, receipt of dividends and distributions, redemption of Shares, and liquidation of the Trust.

Section 4.4 Conversion Rights. Subject to compliance with any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, the Trustees shall have the authority to provide that holders of Shares of any Portfolio or Class thereof shall have the right to convert said Shares into Shares of one or more other Portfolios or Classes thereof in accordance with such requirements and procedures as may established by the Trustees.

Section 4.5 Class Differences. The relative rights and preferences of the Classes of any Portfolio may differ in such respects as the Trustees may determine to be appropriate in their sole discretion. Except as so set forth, all Classes of the same Portfolio’s Shares shall have equal rights and preferences.

Section 4.6 Ownership of Shares. The ownership of Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Trust or of a transfer or similar agent for the Trust, which books shall be maintained separately for the Shares of each Portfolio and each Class thereof that has been established and designated. No certificates certifying the ownership of Shares need be issued except as the Trustees may otherwise determine from time to time. The Trustees may make such rules as they consider appropriate for the issuance of Share certificates, the use of facsimile signatures, the transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust as kept by the Trust or any transfer or similar agent, as the case may be, shall be conclusive as to who are the Shareholders and as to the number of Shares of each Portfolio and Class thereof held from time to time by each such Shareholder.

Section 4.7 Investments in the Trust. The Trustees may accept investments in the Trust and each Portfolio from such persons and on such terms and for such consideration, not inconsistent with any applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, as they from time to time authorize. The Trustees may authorize any distributor, principal underwriter, custodian, transfer agent or other person to accept orders for the purchase of Shares that conform to such authorized terms and to reject any purchase orders for Shares whether or not conforming to such authorized terms.

Section 4.8 No Preemptive Rights. Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust or any Portfolio.

Section 4.9 Status of Shares and Limitation of Personal Liability. Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving only the rights provided in this Trust Agreement. Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms hereof and to have become a party hereto. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders to be partners. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees, nor any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind personally any Shareholder, nor except as specifically provided herein to call upon any Shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at any time personally agree to pay.

Section 4.10 No Appraisal Rights. Shareholders shall have no right to demand payment for their Shares or any other rights of dissenting Shareholders in the event the Trust participates in any transaction which would give rise to appraisal or dissenters’ rights by a Shareholder of a corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

The voting requirements set forth in this Section 5.2 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any vote or consent of the Shareholders otherwise required by applicable law (including, without limitation, any separate vote by Portfolio (or Class) that may be required by the 1940 Act or by other applicable law) or by this Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Trustees. Shareholders. etc. Not Personally Liable: Notice. All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against a Portfolio of the Trust shall look only to the assets of the Portfolio with which such person dealt for payment under such credit, contract or claim. Neither the Shareholders of any Portfolio, nor the Trustees, nor any of the Trust’s officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor. Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever issued, executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust, any Portfolio or the Trustees or any of them in connection with the Trust shall be conclusively deemed to have been issued, executed or done only by or for the Trust (or the Portfolio) or by or for the Trustees in their official capacity with the Trust and not personally. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall protect any Trustee, officer, employee or agent against any liability to the Trust or the Shareholders to which such Trustee or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee or of such officer.

Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or by any duly authorized officer shall give notice that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the relevant Portfolio or Portfolios of the Trust or by them as Trustees or as officers and not individually and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon any of them or the Shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of such Portfolio or Portfolios, as the case may be. However, the omission of any such notice shall not operate to bind any Trustee, officer or Shareholder individually or otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking.

Section 6.2 Trustees’ Good Faith Action; Expert Advice; No Bond Surety. The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretion hereunder shall be binding upon all interested persons and entities. A Trustee shall be liable solely for his own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee, and for nothing else, and shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. Subject to the foregoing, (a) no Trustee shall be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any other officer, agent, employee, consultant, investment adviser, administrator, distributor or principal underwriter, custodian or transfer, dividend disbursing, Shareholder servicing or accounting agent of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee; (b) the Trustees may take advice of counsel or other qualified persons with respect to the meaning and operation of this Trust Agreement and their duties as Trustees, and shall be under no liability for any act or omission in accordance with such advice or for failing to follow such advice; and (c) in discharging their duties, the Trustees, when acting in good faith, shall be entitled to rely upon the books of account of the Trust and upon written reports made to the Trustees by any officer appointed by them, any independent public accountant, and (with respect to the subject matter of the contract involved) any officer, partner or responsible employee of a Contracting Party appointed by the Trustees pursuant to Section 3.3 The Trustees as such shall not be required to give any bond or surety or any other security for the performance of their duties.

Section 6.3 Indemnification of Shareholders. In case any Shareholder (or former Shareholder) of any Portfolio of the Trust or Class shall be charged or held to be personally liable for any obligation or liability of the Trust solely by reason of being or having been a Shareholder and not because of such Shareholder’s acts or omissions or for some other reason, said Portfolio (upon proper and timely request by the Shareholder) shall assume the defense against such charge and satisfy any judgment thereon, and the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or in the case of a corporation or other entity,, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets of said Portfolio to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability.

Section 6.4 Indemnification of Trustees. Officers, etc. The Trust shall indemnify (from the assets of the Portfolio or Portfolios in question) each of its Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust’s request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a Shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as “Covered Persons”) against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants’ and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Trustee or officer, director or trustee, except with respect to any matter as to which it has been determined that such Covered Person had acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office (such conduct referred to hereinafter as “Disabling Conduct”). A determination that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification may be made by (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, (ii) dismissal of a court action or an administrative proceeding against a Covered Person for insufficiency of evidence of Disabling Conduct, (iii) a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Covered Person was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct by (a) a vote of a majority of a quorum of Trustees who are neither “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act nor parties to the proceeding (“disinterested Trustees”), or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) as otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act. Expenses, including accountants’ and counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), may be paid from time to time by the Portfolio(s) in question in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding, provided that the Covered Person shall have undertaken to repay the amounts so paid to the Portfolio(s) in question if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article V and (i) the Covered Person shall have provided security for such undertaking, (ii) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, (iii) a majority of a quorum of the disinterested Trustees who are not a party to the proceeding, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification; or (iv) as otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act.
