Class I and a new Class Y for the sub-trusts designated the "Tax-Managed
Overseas Equity Fund," "Select Value Fund," and "Select Growth Fund" (the "New
Funds").
Without limiting the authority of the Trustees set forth in Section 4.1 of

class of any existing sub-trust, the Trustees hereby (i) redesignate of Class
I as Class S with respect to the
Money Market Fund and Tax Free Money Market Fund (the "Money Funds") and (ii)
eliminate the existing Class S, thereby reversing the previous redesignation of

proportionate interest in the underlying assets and liabilities of that Sub-
Trust, and shall generally have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, obligations,
qualifications and terms and conditions as all other Shares of such Sub-Trust,

conversion feature as may be required to comply with regulations
applicable to the Sub-Trust or to the issuance of Shares of the Sub-
Trust;

distributable income or gains or as a reduction in interest, differing
amounts of certain expenses attributable to the Class;
- the Board shall provide for differing payments of dividends from
income or distributions of gains on a Class I and Class Y of a Sub-

absence of such policies, the net asset value per share of different
Classes of a Sub-Trust may differ at certain times;
- each Class I and Class Y of a Sub-Trust may be accorded such different
exchange privileges from Shares of another Class as the Board may deem

different conditions of redemption, as shall be set forth in the

matters solely affecting Shares of that Class, and shall not vote upon
matters which do not affect such Class;
- each Class I and Class Y Share of a Sub-Trust will have a different
class designation from any other Class of that Sub-Trust; and
- each Class I and Class Y of a Sub-Trust may have such additional
rights and preferences, or be subject to such restrictions and
qualifications, as the Trustees by resolution may determine,
consistent with the provisions of the
1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and not otherwise
identified above.
The undersigned hereby certify that the Amendment set forth above has been duly
adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Master Trust Agreement.
