exchange for cash, shares or other securities (including, in the case of a
transfer to another Sub-Trust of the Trust, Shares of such other Sub-Trust)
with such transfer either (1) being made subject to, or with the assumption

voting Shares, as defined in the 1940 Act, of that Sub-Trust. Following
such transfer, the Trustees shall distribute such cash, shares or other
securities (giving due effect to the assets and liabilities belonging to
and any other differences among the various Sub-Trusts the assets belonging
to which have so been transferred) among the Shareholders of the Sub-Trust
the assets belonging to which have been so transferred; and if all of the
assets of the Trust have been so transferred, the Trust shall be
terminated.
