7.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

8.  The terms “vote of a majority of outstanding voting securities,” “assignment,” and “interested persons,” when used herein, shall have the meanings specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, and subject to such orders or no-action letters as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.
