No Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust, whether past, present or future, shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any such Person, and all such Persons shall look solely to the Trust Property, or to the assets of one or more specific Class or Series of the Trust if the claim arises from the act, omission or other conduct of such Trustee, officer or

employee with respect to only such Class or Series, for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust or such Class or Series. If any Shareholder, Trustee, officer or employee, as such, of the Trust is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability of the Trust or any Class or Series thereof, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to any personal liability.

Section 4.2. Trustee’s Good Faith Action; Advice to Others; No Bond or Surety. The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretions hereunder shall be binding upon all Interested Parties. A Trustee shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. The Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of them or of any officer, agent, employee, consultant, investment adviser or other adviser, administrator, distributor or principal underwriter, custodian or transfer, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing or accounting agent of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee. The Trustees may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the meaning and operation of this Declaration and their duties as Trustees, and shall be under no liability for any act or omission in accordance with such advice or for failing to follow such advice. In discharging their duties, the Trustees, when acting in good faith, shall be entitled to rely upon the records, books and accounts of the Trust and upon reports made to the Trustees by any officer, employee, agent, consultant, accountant, attorney, investment adviser or other adviser, principal underwriter, expert, professional firm or independent contractor. The Trustees as such shall not be required to give any bond or surety or any other security for the performance of their duties. No provision of this Declaration shall protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of his own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Section 4.3. Indemnification. The Trustees may provide, whether in the By-Laws or by contract, vote or other action, for the indemnification by the Trust or by any Class or Series thereof of the Shareholders, Trustees, officers and employees of the Trust and of such other Persons as the Trustees in the exercise of their discretion may deem appropriate or desirable. Any such indemnification may be mandatory or permissive, and may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust.

Section 4.4. No Duty of Investigation. No purchaser, lender or other Person dealing with the Trustees or any officer, employee or agent of the Trust or a Class or Series thereof shall be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction purporting to be made by the Trustees or by said officer, employee or agent or be liable for the application of money or property paid, loaned, or delivered to or on the order of the Trustees or of said officer, employee or agent. Every obligation, contract, instrument, certificate, Share, other security or undertaking of the Trust or a Class or Series, and every other act or thing whatsoever executed in connection with the Trust shall be conclusively presumed to have been executed or done by the executors thereof only in their capacity as Trustees under this Declaration or in their capacity as officers, employees or agents of the Trust. Every written obligation, contract, instrument, certificate, Share, other security or undertaking of the Trust or a Class or Series made or issued by the Trustees may recite that the same is executed or made by them not individually, but as Trustees under the Declaration, and that the obligations of the Trust or a Class or Series thereof under any such instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees or Shareholders individually, but bind only the Trust Property or the Trust Property of the applicable Class or Series, and may contain any further recital which they may deem appropriate, but the omission of any such recital shall not operate to bind the Trustees or Shareholders individually.

Section 4.5. Reliance on Records and Experts. Each Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully and completely justified and protected with regard to any act or any failure to act resulting from reliance in good faith upon the records, books and accounts of the Trust or a Class or Series thereof, upon an opinion or other advice of legal counsel, or upon reports made or advice given to the Trust or a Class or

Series thereof by any Trustee or any of the Trust’s officers or employees or by the Investment Adviser, the Administrator, the Custodian, a Principal Underwriter, Transfer Agent, accountants, appraisers or other experts, advisers, consultants or professionals selected with reasonable care by the Trustees or officers of the Trust, regardless of whether the person rendering such report or advice may also be a Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust.

ARTICLE V

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

Section 5.1. Shares of Beneficial Interest. The interest of the beneficiaries of the Trust initially shall be divided into common shares of beneficial interest of $.01 par value. The number of common shares authorized hereunder is unlimited. All shares issued, including, without limitation, those issued in connection with a dividend or distribution or a share split, shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Trustees may, without Shareholder approval, authorize one or more Classes of Shares (which Classes may without Shareholder approval be divided by the Trustees into two or more Series), Shares of each such Class or Series having such preferences, voting powers and special or relative rights or privileges (including conversion rights, if any) as the Trustees may determine and as shall be set forth in a resolution adopted in accordance with the By-Laws. The number of Shares of each Class or Series authorized shall be unlimited except as the By-Laws may otherwise provide. The Trustees may from time to time divide or combine the Shares of any Class or Series into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the Class or Series.

The ownership of Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Trust or a transfer or similar agent. No certificates certifying the ownership of Shares shall be issued except as the Trustees may otherwise determine from time to time. The Trustees may make such rules as they consider appropriate for the issuance of Share certificates, the transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust as kept by the Trust or any transfer or similar agent, as the case may be, shall be conclusive as to who are the Shareholders of each Class or Series and as to the number of Shares of each Class or Series held from time to time by each Shareholder. The Trustees may at any time discontinue the issuance of Share certificates and may, by written notice to each Shareholder, require the surrender of Share certificates to the Trust for cancellation. Such surrender and cancellation shall not affect the ownership of Shares in the Trust.

Section 5.2. Voting Powers. Subject to the voting powers of one or more Classes or Series, the Shareholders shall have power to vote only (i) with respect to the election of Trustees, (ii) for the removal of Trustees as provided for herein, (iii) with respect to any Investment Adviser as required by applicable law, (iv) with respect to any termination or amendment of this Trust, or with respect to certain transactions, to the extent and as provided in Article VIII, (v) to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or the Shareholders, and (vi) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by law, this Declaration, the By-Laws or any registration of the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any successor agency) or any state, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable. Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, on any matter submitted to a vote of Shareholders, all Shares of the Trust then entitled to vote shall, except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws or required by applicable law, be voted in the aggregate as a single Class without regard to Classes or Series. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees.

Section 5.3. Rights of Shareholders. The ownership of the Trust Property of every description and the right to conduct any business of the Trust are vested exclusively in the Trustees, and the Shareholders shall have no interest therein other than the beneficial interest conferred by their Shares, and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of any property, profits, rights or interests of the Trust or of any Class or Series nor can they be called upon to share or assume any losses of the Trust or of any Class or Series or suffer an assessment of any kind by virtue of their ownership of Shares. The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth in this Declaration. The Shares shall not entitle the holder to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights, except as the Trustees may specifically determine with respect to any Class or Series.

Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of this Declaration and the Bylaws and to have become a party hereto and thereto. The death of a Shareholder during the continuance of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the same nor entitle the representative of any deceased Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but only to the rights of said decedent under this Trust.

Section 5.4. Trust Only. It is the intention of the Trustees to create only the relationship of Trustee and beneficiary between the Trustees and each Shareholder from time to time. It is not the intention of the Trustees to create a general partnership, limited partnership, joint stock association, corporation, limited liability company, bailment or any form of legal relationship other than a Massachusetts business trust. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to make the Shareholders, either by themselves or with the Trustees, partners or members of a joint stock association.

Section 5.5. Issuance of Shares. The Trustees in their discretion may, from time to time and without any authorization or vote of the Shareholders, issue Shares of any Class or Series, in addition to the then issued and Outstanding Shares, to such party or parties and for such amount and type of consideration, including cash or property, at such time or times and on such terms as the Trustees may deem appropriate or desirable, and may in such manner acquire other assets (including the acquisition of assets subject to, and in connection with the assumption of, liabilities) and businesses. In connection with any issuance of Shares, the Trustees may issue fractional Shares and reissue and resell full and fractional Shares held in the treasury. The Trustees may authorize the issuance of certificates of beneficial interest to evidence the ownership of Shares. Shares held in the treasury shall not be voted nor shall such Shares be entitled to any dividends or other distributions declared with respect thereto. The Trustees in their discretion may also, from time to time and without any authorization or vote of the Shareholders, issue to the extent consistent with applicable law securities of the Trust convertible into Shares of the Trust and warrants to purchase securities of the Trust, in each case pursuant to such terms and under such conditions as the Trustees may specify in their discretion. Shares of any Class or Series, in addition to the then issued and outstanding Shares, and such warrants or convertible securities, may be issued to such party or parties and for such amount and type of consideration, including cash or property, at such time or times and on such terms as the Trustees may deem appropriate or desirable, and may in such manner acquire other assets (including the acquisition of assets subject to, and in connection with the assumption of, liabilities) and businesses. The officers of the Trust are severally authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to carry out this Section 5.5.

ARTICLE VI

REDEMPTIONS AND REPURCHASES

Section 6.1. Redemptions and Repurchases of Shares. From time to time the Trust may redeem or repurchase its Shares, all upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Trustees and subject to any applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. The Trust may require Shareholders to pay a withdrawal charge, a sales charge, or any other form of charge to the Trust, to the underwriter or to any other person designated by the Trustees upon redemption or repurchase of Trust Shares in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Trustees. The Trust may also charge a redemption or repurchase fee in such amount as may be determined from time to time by the Trustees.

Section 6.2. Manner of Payment. Payment of Shares redeemed or repurchased may at the option of the Trustees or such officer or officers as they may duly authorize for the purpose, in their complete discretion, be made in cash, or in kind, or partially in cash and partially in kind. In case of payment in kind the Trustees, or their delegate, shall have absolute discretion as to what security or securities shall be distributed in kind and the amount of the same, and the securities shall be valued for purposes of distribution at the figure at which they were appraised in computing the net asset value of the Shares, provided that any Shareholder who cannot legally acquire securities so distributed in kind by reason of the prohibitions of the 1940 Act shall receive cash.

Section 6.3. Involuntary Redemption. If the Trustees shall, at any time and in good faith, be of the opinion that direct or indirect ownership of Shares of any Class or Series or other securities of the Trust has or may become concentrated in any person to an extent which would disqualify the Trust as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code, then the Trustees shall have the power by lot or other means deemed equitable by them (i) to call for redemption by any such person a number, or principal amount, of Shares or other securities of the Trust sufficient to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of Shares or other securities of the Trust into conformity with the requirements for such qualification and (ii) to refuse to transfer or issue Shares or other securities of the Trust to any person whose acquisition of the Shares or other securities of the Trust in question would result in such disqualification. The redemption shall be effected upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Trustees.

The holders of Shares or other securities of the Trust shall upon demand disclose to the Trustees in writing such information with respect to direct and indirect ownership of Shares or other securities of the Trust as the Trustees deem necessary to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, or to comply with the requirements of any other taxing authority.

ARTICLE VII

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE,

NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 7.1. Net Asset Value. The net asset value of each outstanding Share of the Trust or of any Class or Series thereof shall be determined on such days and at or as of such time or times as the Trustees may determine. Any reference in this Declaration to the time at which a determination of net asset value is made shall mean the time as of which the determination is made. The power and duty to determine and method of determination of net asset value may be delegated by the Trustees from time to time to the Investment Adviser, the Administrator, the Custodian, the Transfer Agent or such other Person or Persons as the Trustees may determine. The value of the assets of the Trust or any Class or Series thereof shall be determined in a manner authorized by the Trustees. From the total value of said assets, there shall be deducted all indebtedness, interest, taxes, payable or accrued, including estimated taxes on unrealized book profits, expenses and management charges accrued to the appraisal date, and all other items in the nature of liabilities which shall be deemed appropriate by the Trustees, as incurred by or allocated to the Trust or any Class or Series thereof. The resulting amount, which shall represent the total net assets of the Trust or Class or Series thereof, shall be divided by the

number of Outstanding Shares of the Trust or Class or Series thereof at that time and the quotient so obtained shall be deemed to be the net asset value of the Shares of the Trust or Class or Series thereof. The Trust may declare a suspension of the determination of net asset value to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. It shall not be a violation of any provision of this Declaration if Shares are sold, redeemed or repurchased by the Trust at a price other than one based on net asset value if the net asset value is affected by one or more errors inadvertently made in the pricing of portfolio securities or other investments or in accruing or allocating income, expenses, reserves or liabilities. No provision of this Declaration shall be construed to restrict or affect the right or ability of the Trust to employ or authorize the use of pricing services, appraisers or any other means, methods, procedures, or techniques in valuing the assets or calculating the liabilities of the Trust or any Class or Series thereof.

Section 7.2. Dividends and Distributions. (a) The Trustees may from time to time distribute ratably among the Shareholders of the Trust or of a Class or Series thereof such portion of the net earnings or profits, surplus (including paid-in surplus), capital (including paid-in capital), or assets of the Trust or such Class or Series held by the Trustees as they may deem appropriate or desirable. Such distributions may be made in cash, additional Shares or property (including without limitation any type of obligations of the Trust or Class or Series or any assets thereof), and the Trustees may distribute ratably among the Shareholders of the Trust or Class or Series thereof additional Shares of the Trust or Class or Series thereof issuable hereunder in such manner, at such times, and on such terms as the Trustees may deem appropriate or desirable. Such distributions may be among the Shareholders of the Trust or Class or Series thereof at the time of declaring a distribution or among the Shareholders of the Trust or Class or Series thereof at such other date or time or dates or times as the Trustees shall determine. The Trustees may always retain from the earnings or profits such amounts as they may deem appropriate or desirable to pay the expenses and liabilities of the Trust or a Class or Series thereof or to meet obligations of the Trust or a Class or Series thereof, together with such amounts as they may deem desirable to use in the conduct of its affairs or to retain for future requirements or extensions of the business or operations of the Trust or such Class or Series. The Trust may adopt and offer to Shareholders such dividend reinvestment plans, cash dividend payout plans or other distribution plans as the Trustees may deem appropriate or desirable. The Trustees may in their discretion determine that an account administration fee or other similar charge may be deducted directly from the income and other distributions paid on Shares to a Shareholder’s account in any Class or Series.

(b) The Trustees may prescribe, in their absolute discretion, such bases and times for determining the amounts for the declaration and payment of dividends and distributions as they may deem necessary, appropriate or desirable.

(c) Inasmuch as the computation of net income and gains for federal income tax purposes may vary from the computation thereof on the books of account, the above provisions shall be interpreted to give the Trustees full power and authority in their absolute discretion to distribute for any fiscal year as dividends and as capital gains distributions, respectively, additional amounts sufficient to enable the Trust or a Class or Series thereof to avoid or reduce liability for taxes.

Section 7.3. Power to Modify Foregoing Procedures. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Declaration, the Trustees may prescribe, in their absolute discretion, such other means, methods, procedures or techniques for determining the per Share net asset value of a Class or Series thereof or the income of the Class or Series thereof, or for the declaration and payment of dividends and distributions on any Class or Series.

ARTICLE VIII

LIMITED TERM; TERMINATION OF TRUST OR A

CLASS OR SERIES; MERGERS; AMENDMENTS

Section 8.1. Limited Term. (a) The Trust created hereby shall have a limited period of existence and shall cease to exist at the close of business 120 days after the termination date set forth in the Trust’s registration statement (or any amendment thereto) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Termination Date”) or such earlier date (but not prior to the Termination Date) that the Trust has completed a winding up of its affairs, except that the Trust shall continue to exist for the purpose of paying, satisfying, and discharging any existing debts or obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind up its business and affairs. After the close of business on the Termination Date, if the Trust has not liquidated and wound up its business and affairs, the Trustees shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Trust and all of the powers of the Trustees under this Declaration shall continue until the affairs of the Trust shall have been wound up, including the power to fulfill or discharge the contracts of the Trust, collect its assets, sell, convey, assign, exchange, merge where the Trust is not the survivor, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the remaining Trust Property to one or more Persons at public or private sale for consideration which may consist in whole or in part in cash, securities or other property of any kind, discharge or pay its liabilities, and do all other acts appropriate to liquidate its business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees may amend or alter the term of the Trust by amendment to this Declaration pursuant to Section 8.3 at anytime and Shareholders of the Trust shall not be entitled to vote on such amendment.

(b) The Trustees may, to the extent they deem appropriate, adopt a plan of termination at any time during the 12 months immediately preceding the Termination Date, which plan of termination may set forth the terms and conditions for implementing the termination of the Trust's existence under this Article VIII. Shareholders of the Trust shall not be entitled to vote on the adoption of any such plan or the termination of the Trust's existence under this Article VIII.

Section 8.2. Merger or Termination of the Trust or a Series or a Class. Prior to the Termination Date, the Trust may merge or consolidate with any other corporation, association, trust or other organization or may sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the Trust property, including its good will, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration when and as authorized at a meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of each Class and Series of Shares outstanding and entitled to vote (with each such class and series separately voting thereon as a separate Class or Series), or by an instrument or instruments in writing without a meeting, consented to by the holders of two-thirds of each Class and Series of Shares (with each such Class and Series separately consenting thereto as a separate Class or Series); provided, however, that if such merger, consolidation, sale, lease or exchange is recommended by the Trustees, the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares outstanding and entitled to vote shall be sufficient authorization; and any such merger, consolidation, sale, lease or exchange shall be deemed for all purposes to have been accomplished under and pursuant to the statutes of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Upon making provision for the payment of all outstanding obligations, taxes and other liabilities, (whether accrued or contingent) of the Trust, the Trustees shall distribute the remaining assets of the Trust ratably among the holders of the outstanding Shares, except as may be otherwise provided by the Trustees with respect to any Class or Series of Shares thereof.

Subject to authorization by the Shareholders as indicated below in this paragraph, the Trust may at any time sell and convert into money all of the assets of the Trust, and, upon making provision for the payment of all outstanding obligations, taxes and other liabilities (whether accrued or contingent) of the Trust, the Trustees shall distribute the remaining assets of the Trust ratably among the holders of the outstanding Shares, except as may be otherwise provided by the Trustees with respect to any Class or Series of Shares. Such action shall first have been authorized at a meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of each Class and Series of Shares outstanding and entitled to vote (with each such Class and Series separately voting thereon as a separate Class or Series), or by an instrument or instruments in writing without a meeting, consented to by the holders of two-thirds of each Class and Series of Shares (with each such Class and Series separately

consenting thereto as a separate Class or Series); provided, however, that if such action is recommended by the Trustees, the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares outstanding and entitled to vote shall be sufficient authorization.

Upon completion of the distribution of the remaining proceeds or the remaining assets as provided in this section, the Trust shall terminate and the Trustees shall be discharged of any and all further liabilities and duties hereunder and the right, title and interest of all parties shall be cancelled and discharged.

Section 8.3. Amendments. The establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences of any Series or Class of Shares approved in accordance with Section 5.1 shall, without any authorization, consent or vote of the Shareholders, effect an amendment of this Declaration. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, if authorized by a majority of the Trustees and by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust affected by the amendment (which voting securities shall, unless otherwise provided by the Trustees, vote together on such amendment as a single class), or by any larger vote which may be required by applicable law or this Declaration of Trust in any particular case, the Trustees may amend or otherwise supplement this Declaration. The Trustees may also amend this Declaration without the vote or consent of Shareholders to change the name of the Trust or to make such other changes as do not have a materially adverse effect on the rights or interests of Shareholders hereunder or if they deem it necessary to conform this Declaration to the requirements of applicable Federal laws or regulations or the requirements of the regulated investment company provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, but the Trustees shall not be liable for failing so to do. Any amendment of or supplement to this Declaration of Trust shall be effective as provided by its terms or, if there is no provision therein with respect to effectiveness, (i) upon the signing of an instrument by a majority of the Trustees then in office or (ii) upon the execution of an instrument and a certificate (which may be part of such instrument) executed by a Trustee or officer of the Trust to the effect that such amendment has been duly adopted, except that any amendment to the terms of Article II, Section 2.4 with respect to the removal of Trustees (or to this sub-clause (iii) of this proviso to Section 8.3) shall require the affirmative vote of, or a written instrument executed by, at least two-thirds of all Trustees.

No amendment may be made under this Section which shall amend, alter, change or repeal any of the provisions of Article VIII unless the amendment effecting such amendment, alteration, change or repeal shall receive the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of each Class and Series of Shares outstanding and entitled to vote (with each such Class and Series separately voting thereon on consenting thereto as a separate Class or Series). Such affirmative vote or consent shall be in addition to the vote or consent of the holders of Shares otherwise required by law or by any agreement between the Trust and any national securities exchange.

Nothing contained in this Declaration shall permit the amendment of this Declaration to impair the exemption from personal liability of the Shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Trust or to permit assessments upon Shareholders.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, until such time as a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the first public offering of securities of the Trust shall have become effective, this Declaration may be terminated or amended in any respect by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees or by an instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees.

Section 8.4. Certain Transactions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration and subject to the exceptions provided in sub-section (d) of this Section 8.4, the types of transactions described in sub-section (c) of this Section 8.4 shall require the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of each Class of Shares outstanding (with each such Class voting separately thereon), when a Principal Shareholder (as

defined in sub-section (b) of this Section 8.4) is determined by the Trustees to be a party to the transaction. Such affirmative vote or consent shall be in addition to the vote or consent of the holders of Shares otherwise required by law or by the terms of any Class or Series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or by any agreement between the Trust and any national securities exchange.

(b) The term “Principal Shareholder” shall mean any Person which is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Shares of the Trust or of any Class and shall include any “affiliate” or “associate”, as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For the purpose of this Section 8.4, in addition to the Shares which a Person beneficially owns directly, (a) a Person shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any Shares (i) which the Trustees determine it has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement or upon exercise of conversion rights or warrants, or otherwise (but excluding Share options granted by the Trust) or (ii) which the Trustees determine are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including Shares deemed owned through application of clause (i) above), by any other Person with which it or its “affiliate” or “associate” (as defined above) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Shares, or which is its affiliate or associate, and (b) the outstanding Shares shall include Shares deemed owned through application of clauses (i) and (ii) above but shall not include any other Shares which are not at the time issued and outstanding but may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights or warrants, or otherwise.

(i) The merger or consolidation of the Trust or any subsidiary of the Trust with or into any Principal Shareholder.

(ii) The issuance of any securities of the Trust to any Principal Shareholder for cash.

(iii) The sale, lease or exchange of all or any substantial part of the assets of the Trust to any Principal Shareholder (except assets determined by the Trustees to have an aggregate fair market value of less than $1,000,000, aggregating for the purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period or assets sold in the ordinary course of business).

(iv) The sale, lease or exchange to or with the Trust or any subsidiary thereof, in exchange for securities of the Trust, of any assets of any Principal Shareholder (except assets determined by the Trustees to have an aggregate fair market value of less than $1,000,000 aggregating for the purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period).

For purposes of this sub-section 8.4(c), the term “Principal Shareholder” shall include all subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, or other persons acting in concert with any Principal Shareholder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not be applicable to (i) any of the transactions described in sub-section (c) of this Section 8.4 if the Trustees shall by resolution have approved a memorandum of understanding with such Principal Shareholder with respect to and substantially consistent with such transaction, or (ii) any such transaction with any Person of which a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock normally entitled to vote in the election of directors is owned of record or beneficially by the Trust and its subsidiaries.

(e) The Trustees shall have the power to determine for the purposes of this Section 8.4 on the basis of information known to the Trust, whether (i) a Person beneficially owns more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares or is otherwise a Principal Shareholder, (ii) a Person is an “affiliate” or

“associate” (as defined above) of another, (iii) the assets being acquired or leased to or by the Trust or any subsidiary thereof constitute a substantial part or the assets of the Trust and have an aggregate fair market value of less than $1,000,000, (iv) the memorandum of understanding referred to in sub-section (d) hereof is substantially consistent with the transaction covered thereby, and (v) the provisions of the Section 8.5 otherwise apply to any Person or transaction. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Section 8.4.

Section 8.5. Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Declaration, the conversion of the Trust from a “closed-end company” to an “open-end company,” as those terms are defined in Section 5(a)(2) and 5(a)(1), respectively, of the 1940 Act shall require the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of each Class outstanding (with each Class separately voting thereon or consenting thereto as a separate Class). Such affirmative vote or consent shall be in addition to the vote or consent of the holders of the Shares otherwise required by law or by the terms of any Class or Series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or by any agreement between the Trust and any national securities exchange. However, if such conversion is recommended by at least 75% of the Trustees then in office, the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust (which voting securities shall vote separately on the matter by class) shall be sufficient to authorize such conversion.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Use of the Words “Xxxxx Xxxxx”. Xxxxx Xxxxx Corp. (hereinafter referred to as “EVC”), which owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the capital shares of the Investment Adviser of the Trust (or of the investment adviser of each of the investment companies referred to in the last paragraph of Section 2.8), has consented to the use by the Trust of the identifying words “Xxxxx Xxxxx” in the name of the Trust. Such consent is conditioned upon the continued employment of EVC or a subsidiary or affiliate of EVC as Investment Adviser of the Trust or as the investment adviser of each of the investment companies referred to in the last paragraph of Section 2.8. As between the Trust and itself, EVC shall control the use of the name of the Trust insofar as such name contains the identifying words “Xxxxx Xxxxx”. EVC may from time to time use the identifying words “Xxxxx Xxxxx” in other connections and for other purposes, including, without limitation, the names of other investment companies, trusts, corporations or businesses which it may manage, advise, sponsor or own or in which it may have a financial interest. EVC may require the Trust to cease using the identifying words “Xxxxx Xxxxx” in the name of the Trust if EVC or a subsidiary or affiliate of EVC ceases to act as investment adviser of the Trust or as the investment adviser of each of the investment companies referred to in the last paragraph of Section 2.8.

Section 9.2. Notices. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, any and all notices to which any Shareholder may be entitled and any and all communications shall be deemed duly served or given if mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to any Shareholder of record at his last known address as recorded on the register of the Trust. If and to the extent consistent with applicable law, a notice of a meeting, an annual report, and any other communication to Shareholders need not be sent to a Shareholder (i) if an annual report and a proxy statement for two consecutive shareholder meetings have been mailed to such Shareholder’s address and have been returned as undeliverable, (ii) if all, and at least two, checks (if sent by first class mail) in payment of distributions on Shares during a twelve-month period have been mailed to such Shareholder’s address and have been returned as undeliverable or (iii) in any other case in which a proxy statement concerning a meeting of security holders is not required to be given pursuant to the Commission’s proxy rules as from time to time in effect under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. However, delivery of such proxy statements, annual reports and other communications shall resume if and when

such Shareholder delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trust written notice setting forth such Shareholder’s then current address.

Section 9.3. Filing of Copies, References, Headings and Counterparts. The original or a copy of this instrument, of any amendment hereto and of each declaration of trust supplemental hereto, shall be kept at the office of the Trust. Anyone dealing with the Trust may rely on a certificate by a Trustee or an officer of the Trust as to whether or not any such amendments or supplemental declarations of trust have been made and as to any matters in connection with the Trust hereunder, and, with the same effect as if it were the original, may rely on a copy certified by a Trustee or an officer of the Trust to be a copy of this instrument or of any such amendment hereto or supplemental declaration of trust.

In this instrument or in any such amendment or supplemental declaration of trust, references to this instrument, and all expressions such as “herein”, “hereof”, and “hereunder”, shall be deemed to refer to this instrument as amended or affected by any such supplemental declaration of trust. Headings are placed herein for convenience of reference only and in case of any conflict, the text of this instrument, rather than the headings, shall control. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall constitute one instrument. A restated Declaration, integrating into a single instrument all of the provisions of the Declaration which are then in effect and operative, may be executed from time to time by a majority of the Trustees then in office and filed with the Massachusetts Secretary of State. A restated Declaration shall, upon execution, be conclusive evidence of all amendments and supplemental declarations contained therein and may thereafter be referred to in lieu of the original Declaration and the various amendments and supplements thereto.

Section 9.4. Applicable Law. This Declaration is executed by the Trustees and delivered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with reference to the law thereof applicable to a trust of the type commonly called a “Massachusetts business trust”. The rights of all parties and the validity and construction of every provision hereof shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to such a trust and matters not specifically covered herein or as to which an ambiguity exists shall be resolved with reference to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 9.5. Provisions in Conflict with Law or Regulations. (a) The provisions of this Declaration are severable, and if the Trustees shall determine, with the advice of legal counsel, that any of such provisions is in conflict with the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or with other applicable laws and regulations, the conflicting provision shall be construed in such a manner consistent with such law as may most closely reflect the intention of the offending provision; provided, however, that such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Declaration or render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination.

(b) If any provision of this Declaration shall be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Declaration in any jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being all of the current Trustees of the Trust, have executed this instrument this 13th day of February, 2012.
