WHEREAS, the Trust was established by the Declaration under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and

WHEREAS, the Trustees believe that the Declaration should be amended to cure such inaccurate provisions of the Declaration; and

WHEREAS, Section 9.3 of the Declaration provides that the Trustees may amend the Declaration without the vote or consent of shareholders to supply any omission, or cure, correct or supplement any ambiguous, defective or inconsistent provision therefore; and

NOW, THEREFORE:

1. The second paragraph of Section 6.1 is hereby amended so that it shall read in its entirety as follows:

The Trustees hereby establish and designate the following seven Series of Shares of the Trust: Money Market Portfolio, Prime Portfolio, Government Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Treasury Securities Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio. The Trustees hereby establish and designate the following six classes of Shares of each Series of the Trust: Institutional Class, Service Class, Investor Class, Administrative Class, Advisory Class and Participant Class. The Trustees may change the name of the Trust or any Series or Class without shareholder approval.

2. The Trustees of the Trust hereby reaffirm the Declaration, as amended, in all respects.

3. This amendment may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
