            1940, as amended, or any successor rule, and by the Declaration.

         4. The assets and liabilities of the Trust shall be allocated among the
            previously established and existing series of the Trust and such new
            series as set forth in Section 6.9 of the Declaration.

         5. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.9 and Article IX of the
            Declaration, the Trustees (including any successor Trustees) shall
            have the right at any time and from time to time to reallocate
            assets and expenses or to change the designation of any series now
            or hereafter created, or to otherwise change the special and
            relative rights of any such establishment and designation of series
            of Shares.
