The Trustees shall have the authority from time to time to issue or reissue Shares in one or more Series of Shares (including without limitation the Series specifically established and designated in Section 4.2), as they deem necessary or desirable, to establish and designate such Series, and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the different Series of Shares as to right of redemption and the price, terms and manner of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, sinking or purchase fund provisions, conversion rights, and conditions under which the several Series shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights. The Shares of each Series may be issued or reissued from time to time in one or more Classes, as determined by the Board of Trustees pursuant to resolution. Each Class shall be appropriately designated, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof, by some distinguishing letter, number or title. All Shares within a Class shall be alike in every particular. All Shares of each Series shall be of equal rank and have the same powers, preferences and rights, and shall be subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions without distinction between the shares of different Classes thereof, except with respect to such differences among such Classes, as the Board of Trustees shall from time to time determine to be necessary or desirable, including without limitation differences in expenses, in voting rights and in the rate or rates of dividends or distributions.

Each Sub-Trust of Shares established will be deemed to be a separate Trust under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 182. The Trustees shall have exclusive powers without Shareholder approval to establish any Sub-Trust and to determine the relative rights and preferences between the Shares of the separate Sub-Trusts as to right of redemption and the price, terms and manner of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, sinking or purchase fund provisions, conversion rights, and conditions under which the several Sub-Trusts shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights.

The fact that a Sub-Trust shall have initially been established and designated without any specific establishment or designation or classes (i.e., that all Shares of such Sub-Trust are initially of a single class), or that a Sub-Trust shall have more than one established and designated class, shall not limit the authority of the Trustees to establish and designate separate classes, or one or more further classes, of said Sub-Trust without approval of the holders of the initial class thereof, or previously established and designated class or classes thereof, provided that the establishment and designation of such further separate classes would not adversely affect the rights of the holders of the initial or previously established and designated class or classes.
