SECOND: Pursuant to Article Fifth of the Charter and except as otherwise provided in these terms, each share of the Quantitative U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Portfolio and Quantitative U.S. Small Cap Equity Portfolio (each a “Share Group”) shall have all the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of Common Stock as set forth in the Charter and each shall also have the same preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption as each other share now or hereafter designated as a share of that Share Group, except that:

(i) to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the Glenmede Fund may, without the vote of the shares of any class of capital stock of the Glenmede Fund then outstanding and if so determined by the Board of Directors:

(1) sell and convey the assets belonging to each Share Group to another trust or corporation that is a management investment company (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and is organized under the laws of any state of the United States for consideration, which may include the assumption of all outstanding obligations, taxes and other liabilities, accrued or contingent, belonging to such Share Group and which may include securities issued by such trust or corporation.


Following such sale and conveyance, and after making provision for the payment of any liabilities belonging to such Share Group that are not assumed by the purchaser of the assets belonging to such Share Group, the Glenmede Fund may, at its option, redeem all outstanding shares of such Share Group at the net asset value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, less such redemption fee or other charge, if any, as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

(3) combine the assets belonging to a Share Group with the assets belonging to any one or more other classes of capital stock of the Glenmede Fund if the Board of Directors reasonably determines that such combination will not have a material adverse effect on the stockholders of any class of capital stock of the Glenmede Fund participating in such combination. In connection with any such combination of assets, the shares of the Share Group then outstanding may, if so determined by the Board of Directors, be converted into shares of any other class or classes of capital stock of the Glenmede Fund with respect to which conversion is permitted by applicable law, or may be redeemed, at the option of the Glenmede Fund, at the net asset value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, less such redemption fee or other charge, or conversion cost, if any, as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors upon such conditions as the Board of Directors deems, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate and consistent with applicable law and the Charter of the Glenmede Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles Supplementary or the Charter to the contrary, any redemption price, or part thereof, paid pursuant to this section may be paid in shares of any other existing or future class or classes of capital stock of the Glenmede Fund; and

(ii) without limiting the foregoing, at its option, redeem shares of a Share Group for any other reason if the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Glenmede Fund to do so. Any such redemption shall be at the net asset value of such shares of such Share Group less such redemption fee or other charge, if any, as
