      WHEREAS,  the  Trustees of the Trust,  at a meeting  held August 22, 2000,
acting  pursuant  to  section 2 of Article  FOURTH of the  Trust's  Amended  and
Restated   Declaration   of  Trust  dated  January  20,  1995,   authorized  the
establishment  and  designation  of a fourth  class of shares of the Trust,  and
designated such class as Class N shares;

      WHEREAS,  the Trust,  on September 29, 2000 filed with the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission   Post-Effective  Amendment  No.  18  to  its  Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, which Post-Effective Amendment is to

      NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust's Declaration of Trust is amended as follows:

      Article  FOURTH,  Section 2 of the Trust's  Declaration of Trust is hereby
amended by deleting the second  paragraph of such Section and  replacing it with
the following paragraph:

      The relative  rights and  preferences  of Class A Shares,  Class B Shares,
Class C Shares and Class N Shares shall be the same in all respects except that,
and unless and until the Board of Trustees shall determine otherwise: (i) when a
vote of  Shareholders  is  required  under this  Declaration  of Trust or when a
meeting  of  Shareholders  is called by the Board of  Trustees,  the Shares of a
Class shall vote  exclusively  on matters that affect that Class only;  (ii) the
expenses and liabilities  related to a Class shall be borne solely by such Class
(as  determined and allocated to such Class by the Trustees from time to time in
a manner consistent with parts 2 and 3 of Article FOURTH); and (iii) pursuant to
paragraph  10 of Article  NINTH,  the Shares of each Class shall have such other
rights and  preferences as are set forth from time to time in the then effective

said Section 3 and replacing it with the following paragraph:

      3. Without  limiting the  authority of the Trustees set forth in part 1 of
this Article FOURTH to establish and designate any further Series,  the Trustees
hereby  establish  one Series of Shares  having the same name as the Trust,  and
said Shares shall be divided into four Classes,  which shall be designated Class
A, Class B, Class C and Class N. The Shares of that Series and any Shares of any
further  Series  or  Classes  that  may  from  time to time be  established  and
designated by the Trustees shall (unless the Trustees  otherwise  determine with
respect  to some  further  Series or  Classes  at the time of  establishing  and
designating the same) have the following relative rights and preferences:
