The undersigned, Assistant Secretary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Investment Funds
(the "Trust"), does hereby certify that pursuant to Article VII, Section 7.3, of
the Master Trust Agreement dated April 30, 1992, as amended (the "Master Trust

consent of the Board of Trustees on February 25, 2003.
RESOLVED, that Article V, Section 5.3 of the Master Trust Agreement be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: "Section 5.3
Record Date. For the purpose of determining the Shareholders who are
entitled to vote or act at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, or
who are entitled to participate in any dividend or distribution, or for
the purpose of any other action, the Trustees may from time to time
close the transfer books for such period, not exceeding 30 days (except
at or in connection with the termination of the Trust), as the Trustees
may determine; or without closing the transfer books the Trustees may
fix a date and time not more than 90 days prior to the date of any
meeting of Shareholders or other action as the date and time of record
for the determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting
or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as Shareholders of record
for purposes of such other action, and any Shareholder who was a
Shareholder at the date and time so fixed shall be entitled to vote at
such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a
Shareholder of record for purposes of such other action, even though he
has since that date and time disposed of his Shares, and no Sharholder
becoming such after that date and time shall be so entitled to vote at
such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a
Shareholder of record for purposes of such other action"; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of the Trust be, and
each hereby is, authorized to execute and file any notices required to
be filed reflecting the foregoing changes; to execute amendments to the
Trust's Master Trust Agreement and by-laws reflecting the foregoing
changes; and to execute and file all requisite certificates, documents
and instruments and to take such other actions required to cause such
amendments to become effective and to pay all requisite fees and
