any provision of this Agreement would require a party to take any
action prohibited by the 1940 Act and rules thereunder, or would
preclude an party from taking any action required by the 1940 Act
and rules thereunder, then it is the intention of the parties
hereto that such provision shall be enforced only to the extent

enforceable as if the provision at issue had never been a part
