provide as follows:                 

                   "Section 2.04  Transfer of Shares.  Except as otherwise
                 provided by the Trustees, Shares shall be transferable on the
                records of the Trust only by the record holder thereof or by
                 his agent thereunto duly authorized in writing, upon delivery
           to the Trustees or the Trust's transfer agent of a duly
            executed instrument of transfer and such evidence of the
               genuineness of such execution and authorization and of such
                other matters as may be required by the Trustees.  Upon such
              delivery the transfer shall be recorded on the register of
             the Trust.  Until such record is made, the Shareholder of
              record shall be deemed to be the holder of such Shares for
           all purposes hereunder and neither the Trustees nor the
               Trust, nor any transfer agent or registrar nor any officer,
           employee or agent of the Trust shall be affected by any
notice of the proposed transfer.            

              "Section 2.06  Establishment of Series.  The Trust
          created hereby shall consist of one or more Series and

485BPOS 5th Page of 16 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 5th
            separate and distinct records shall be maintained by the
                 Trust for each Series and the assets associated with any such
              Series shall be held and accounted for separately from the
                assets of the Trust or any other Series.  The Trustees shall
                have full power and authority, in their sole discretion, and
            without obtaining any prior authorization or vote of the
             Shareholders of any Series of the Trust, to establish and
            designate and to change in any manner any such Series of
                Shares or any classes of initial or additional Series and to
                 fix such preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges of
                such Series or classes thereof as the Trustees may from time
             to time determine, to divide or combine the Shares or any
                 Series or classes thereof into a greater or lesser number, to
             classify or reclassify any issued Shares or any Series or
                 classes thereof into one or more Series or classes of Shares,
               and to take such other action with respect to the Shares as
           the Trustees may deem desirable.  The establishment and
         designation of any Series shall be effective upon the
          adoption of a resolution by a majority of the Trustees
            setting forth such establishment and designation and the
                 relative rights and preferences of the Shares of such Series.
              A Series may issue any number of Shares and need not issue
                shares.  At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of
                any particular Series previously established and designated,
               the Trustees may by a majority vote abolish that Series and
the establishment and designation thereof.  

                    "All references to Shares in this Trust Instrument shall
           be deemed to be Shares of any or all Series, or classes
               thereof, as the context may require.  All provisions herein
               relating to the Trust shall apply equally to each Series of
            the Trust, and each class thereof, except as the context
otherwise requires.                         

                   "Each Share of a Series of the Trust shall represent an
               equal beneficial interest in the net assets of such Series.
          Each holder of Shares of a Series shall be entitled to
             receive his pro rata share of all distributions made with
                respect to such Series.  Upon redemption of his Shares, such
         Shareholder shall be paid solely out of the funds and
property of such Series of the Trust."

    Person shall have provided appropriate security for such
            undertaking, (b) the Trust is insured against losses arising out
        of any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of the
        Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor
            parties to the matter, or independent legal counsel in a written
          opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily
       available facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry or full
             investigation), that there is reason to believe that such Covered
       Person will be found entitled to indemnification under this
Section 5.2.

          limited to amounts used, or to be used, for the preparation or
    presentation of a defense to the action, including costs
             connected with the preparation of a settlement; (ii) advances may
           be made only upon receipt of a written promise by, or on behalf
       of, the recipient to repay that amount of the advance which
            exceeds that amount which it is ultimately determined that he is
            entitled to receive from the Trust by reason of indemnification;
        and (iii) (a) such promise must be secured by a surety bond,
            other suitable insurance or an equivalent form of security which
            assures that any repayments may be obtained by the Trust without
       delay or litigation, which bond, insurance or other form of
             security must be provided by the recipient of the advance, or (b)
          a majority of a quorum of the Trust's disinterested, non-party
           Trustees, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
            shall determine, based upon a review of readily available facts,
      that the recipient of the advance ultimately will be found
entitled to indemnification.                        

           "(f)    In case any Holder or former Holder of any Series shall
             be held to be personally liable solely by reason of the Holder or
          former Holder being or having been a Holder of that Series and
           not because of the Holder or former Holder acts or omissions or
             for some other reason, the Holder or former Holder (or the Holder
        or former Holder's heirs, executors, administrators or other
            legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other
      entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be
            entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series to
      be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and
             expense arising from such liability.  The Trust, on behalf of the
          affected Series, shall, upon request by the Holder, assume the
       defense of any claim made against the Holder for any act or
          obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon from
the assets of the Series."
