and delivered by an authorized officer of the Trust acting as such; neither such
authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer

liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the assets and property
of the Funds, as provided in the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust.
