Section 5.3. Duties. Each Trustee shall have the duties set forth in Section 12-402 of the Act. A Trustee shall not have any duties, including fiduciary duties under the common law of trusts, or be subject to any duties or other standard of conduct, other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. No Trustee who has been determined to be an “audit committee financial expert” (for purposes of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any successor provision thereto) by the Board of Trustees shall be subject to any greater liability or duty of care in discharging such Trustee’s duties and responsibilities by virtue of such determination than is any Trustee who has not been so designated. Any action or failure to act by a Trustee shall be presumed to be in accordance with the duties described in this Section 5.3, and any person alleging the contrary shall bear the burden of proof that the action or failure to act was not consistent with such duties.

Section 5.4. Number of Trustees. Prior to the closing of the initial public offering by the Trust of Shares (as defined herein), there may be a sole Trustee. Thereafter, the number of Trustees shall be determined by a majority of the Trustees then in office and may be increased or decreased only by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Bylaws. No reduction in the number of Trustees shall cause the removal of any Trustee from office prior to the expiration of his or her term.

Section 5.5 Election and Term. On the first date on which the Trust has more than one Shareholder of record (a “Shareholder”), the Trustees (other than any Trustee elected solely by holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Shares (as defined herein) in connection with dividend arrearages) shall be classified, with respect to the terms for which they severally hold office, into three classes as determined by the Board of Trustees, with a class of Trustees to serve initially for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of Shareholders subsequent to the classification of the Board (“Class I”), a class of Trustees to serve initially for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of Shareholders subsequent to the classification of the Board (“Class II”), and a class of Trustees to serve initially for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of Shareholders subsequent to the classification of the Board (“Class III”), with each Trustee to hold office until her or his successor is duly elected and qualifies. At each annual meeting of the Shareholders, commencing with the first annual meeting of Shareholders subsequent to the classification of Trustees, the successors to the class of Trustees whose term expires at such meeting shall be elected to serve for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of Shareholders following the meeting at which they were elected and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.

Trustees shall be elected by the Shareholders at the annual meeting of Shareholders as provided in the Bylaws. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees. Subject to the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and except as may be provided by the Board of Trustees in setting the terms of any class or series of Preferred Shares, the Board of Trustees shall have the exclusive power to fill vacancies on the Board of Trustees in the manner provided in the Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, each Trustee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the Shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of Trustees.

Section 5.6. Resignation or Removal. Any Trustee may resign by delivering his or her resignation to the Board, chairman, or secretary, effective upon execution and delivery of such written notice or upon any future date specified in the notice. Subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Shares to elect or remove one or more Trustees, any Trustee, or the entire Board of Trustees, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast

generally in the election of Trustees. For the purpose of this paragraph, “cause” shall mean, with respect to any particular Trustee, conviction of a felony or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such Trustee caused demonstrable, material harm to the Trust through bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty.

Section 5.7. Determinations by Board. The determination as to any of the following matters, made by or pursuant to the direction of the Board of Trustees, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Trust and every holder of Shares: the amount of the net income of the Trust for any period and the amount of assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends, acquisition of its Shares or the payment of other distributions on its Shares; the amount of paid in surplus, net assets, net asset value per Share, other surplus, cash flow, net profit, net assets in excess of capital, undivided profits or excess of profits over losses on sales of assets; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which such reserves or charges shall have been created shall have been set aside, paid or discharged); any interpretation or resolution of any ambiguity with respect to any provision of the Certificate of Trust or Declaration of Trust (including any of the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers or rights, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any shares of any class or series of Shares) or of the Bylaws; the number of Shares of any class or series; the fair value, or any sale, bid or asked price to be applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the Trust or of any Shares; any matter relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of any assets by the Trust; any interpretation of the terms and conditions of one or more agreements with any person, corporation, association, company, trust, partnership (limited or general) or other entity; the compensation of Trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust; or any other matter relating to the business and affairs of the Trust or required or permitted by applicable law, the Certificate of Trust, the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws or otherwise to be determined by the Board of Trustees.

Section 5.8. Legal Title. Legal title to all of the Trust Property shall at all times be vested in the Trust as a separate legal entity, except that the Board of Trustees may cause legal title to any Trust Property to be held by, or in the name of one or more of the Trustees acting for and on behalf of the Trust, or in the name of any person as nominee acting for and on behalf of the Trust. No Shareholder shall be deemed to have a severable ownership interest in any individual asset of the Trust, or any right of partition or possession thereof, but each Shareholder shall have, except as otherwise provided for herein, a proportionate undivided beneficial interest in the Trust. The Trust, or at the determination of the Board, one or more of the Trustees or a nominee acting for and on behalf of the Trust, shall be deemed to hold legal title and beneficial ownership of any income earned on securities of the Trust issued by any business entities formed, organized, or existing under the laws of any jurisdiction, including the laws of any foreign country. In the event that title to any part of the Trust Property is vested in one or more Trustees, the right, title and interest of the Trustees in the Trust Property shall vest automatically in each person who may hereafter become a Trustee upon his or her due election and qualification. Upon the resignation, removal, death or incapacity of a Trustee he or she shall automatically cease to have any right, title or interest in any of the Trust Property, and the right, title and interest of such Trustee in the Trust Property shall vest automatically in the remaining Trustees. To the extent permitted by law, such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered.

Section 5.9. Service Contracts.

(a) Advisory, Management and Administrative Services. Subject to such requirements and restrictions as may be set forth under federal and/or state law or regulation and in the Bylaws, including, without limitation, the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees may, at any time and from time to time, contract for exclusive or non-exclusive advisory, management and/or administrative services for the Trust or for any series or class with any corporation, trust, association, or other person; and any such contract may contain such other terms as the Board may determine, including, without limitation, authority for the investment adviser to the Trust to supervise and direct the investment of all assets held, and to determine from time to time without prior consultation with the Board what investments shall be purchased, held, sold, or exchanged and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Trust shall be held uninvested and to make changes in the Trust’s investments; authority for the investment adviser or the administrator of the Trust to delegate certain or all of its duties under such contracts to qualified investment advisers and administrators, or such other activities as may specifically be delegated to such party.

(b) Underwriters. The Board may retain underwriters and/or placement agents to sell Shares and other securities of the Trust. The Board may in its discretion from time to time authorize the Trust to enter into one or more contracts, providing for the sale of securities of the Trust, whereby the Trust may either agree to sell such securities to the other party to the contract or appoint such other party its sales agent for such securities. In either case, the contract shall be on such terms and conditions as the Board of Trustees may in its discretion determine not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article or the Bylaws; and such contract may also provide for the repurchase or sale of securities of the Trust by such other party as principal or as agent of the Trust and may provide that such other party may enter into selected dealer agreements with registered securities dealers and brokers and servicing and similar agreements with persons who are not registered securities dealers to further the purposes of the distribution or repurchase of the securities of the Trust. Every such contract shall comply with such requirements and restrictions as may be set forth under federal and/or state law or regulation and in the Bylaws, including, without limitation, the requirements of the 1940 Act, and any such contract may contain such other terms as the Board may determine.

(c) Custodians. The Trust shall at all times employ a custodian or custodians meeting the qualifications for custodians for portfolio securities of investment companies contained in the 1940 Act, as custodian with respect to the assets of the Trust. Any custodian shall have authority as agent of the Trust as determined by the custodian agreement or agreements, but subject to such restrictions, limitations and other requirements, if any, as may be contained in the Bylaws and the 1940 Act, including without limitation authority:

(i) to hold the securities owned by the Trust and deliver the same upon written order;

(ii) to receive any receipt for any moneys due to the Trust and deposit the same in its own banking department (if a bank) or elsewhere as the Board of Trustees may direct;

(iii) to disburse such funds upon orders or vouchers;

(iv) if authorized by the Board, to keep the books and accounts of the Trust and furnish clerical and accounting services; and

(v) if authorized to do so by the Board, to compute the net income or net asset value of the Trust; all upon such basis of compensation as may be agreed upon between the Board and the custodian.

The Board of Trustees may also authorize each custodian to employ one or more sub-custodians from time to time to perform such of the acts and services of the custodian and upon such terms and conditions, as may be agreed upon between the custodian and such sub- custodian and approved by the Board of Trustees, provided that in every case such sub-custodian shall meet the qualifications for custodians contained in the 1940 Act.

(d) Central Certificate System. The Board of Trustees may direct the custodian to deposit all or any part of the securities owned by the Trust in a system for the central handling of securities established by a national securities exchange or a national securities association registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or such other person as may be permitted by the Commission, or otherwise in accordance with the 1940 Act, pursuant to which system all securities of any particular class of any issuer deposited within the system are treated as fungible and may be transferred or pledged by bookkeeping entry without physical delivery of such securities, provided that all such deposits shall be subject to withdrawal only upon the order of the Trust.

(e) Other Entities and Services. Subject to the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees is further empowered, at any time and from time to time, to contract with any entity to provide such other services to the Trust, as the Board of Trustees determines.

(i) any of the Shareholders, Trustees, or officers of the Trust is a shareholder, Trustee, officer, partner, trustee, employee, investment adviser, administrator, sub-adviser, sub-administrator, principal underwriter, distributor, or affiliate or agent of or for any corporation, trust, association, or other person, or for any parent or affiliate of any organization with which an advisory, management, or administration contract, or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s contract, or fund accounting, custody, or transfer agent, shareholder servicing agent or other type of service contract may have been or may hereafter be made, or that any such person, or any parent or affiliate thereof, is a Shareholder or has an interest in the Trust; or that

(ii) any corporation, trust, association or other person with which an advisory, management, or administration contract or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s contract, or fund accounting, custody, transfer agent or shareholder servicing agent contract may have been or may hereafter be made also has an advisory, management, or administration contract, or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s or other service contract with one or more other corporations, trusts, associations, or other persons, or has other business or interests, shall not affect the validity of any such contract or disqualify any Shareholder, Trustee or officer of the Trust from voting upon or executing the same, or create any liability or accountability to the Trust or its Shareholders, provided approval of each such contract is made pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act.

ARTICLE VI

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

Section 6.1. Authorized Shares. The beneficial interest of the Trust shall be divided into 110,000,000 shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”), consisting of 100,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share (“Common Shares”), and 10,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share (“Preferred Shares”). If Shares of one class or series of Shares are classified or reclassified into Shares of another class or series of shares of beneficial interest pursuant to this Article VI, the number of authorized Shares of the former class or series shall be automatically decreased and the number of Shares of the latter class or series shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of Shares so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of Shares of all classes and series that the Trust has authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of Shares set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph. A majority of the Board of Trustees then in office, without any action by the Shareholders, may amend the Declaration of Trust from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of Shares or the number of Shares of any class or series that the Trust has authority to issue.

Section 6.2. Common Shares. Each Common Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter upon which holders of Common Shares are entitled to vote. The Board of Trustees may classify and reclassify any unissued Common Shares of any series or class from time to time, in one or more series or classes of Shares, as provided in Section 6.4.

Section 6.3. Preferred Shares. The Board of Trustees may classify and reclassify any unissued Preferred Shares of any class or series from time to time, in one or more series or classes of Shares, as provided in Section 6.4.

Section 6.4. Series and Classes of Shares. In order to classify or reclassify unissued Shares of any series or class, the Board of Trustees shall, without any action by the Shareholders, amend or supplement this Declaration of Trust, including any exhibit or schedule thereto, to (a) designate that series or class to distinguish it from all other series or classes of Shares; (b) specify the number of Shares to be included in the series or class; and (c) set, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.4 and subject to the express terms of any series or class of Shares outstanding at the time, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each series or class. Any of the terms of any series or class of Shares may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside the Declaration of Trust (including the occurrence of any event, including a determination or action by the Trust or any other person or body) and may vary among holders thereof, provided that the manner in which such facts or variations shall operate upon the terms of such series or class of Shares is clearly and expressly set forth in the amendment or supplement to the Declaration of Trust establishing such series or class of Shares.

Section 6.5. Authorization by Board of Issuance of Shares and other Securities. The Board of Trustees may authorize the issuance from time to time of Shares of any series or class, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities or rights convertible into Shares of any series or class, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration (whether in cash, property, past or future services, obligation for future payment or otherwise) as the Board of Trustees may deem advisable (or without consideration if determined by the Board of Trustees), subject to such restrictions or limitations, if any, as may be set forth in the Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws of the Trust. When Shares are issued by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees upon receipt of the consideration therefor (or without consideration if determined by the Board), such Shares shall be validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable. The Board may authorize the issuance from time to time of other securities of the Trust for such consideration

(whether in cash, property, past or future services, obligation for future payment or otherwise) as the Board may deem advisable in its sole discretion.

Section 6.6. Dividends and Distributions. The Board of Trustees may from time to time authorize, and cause the Trust to declare, such dividends or distributions to Shareholders, in cash or other assets of the Trust or in securities of the Trust or from any other source as the Board of Trustees in its discretion shall determine. Shareholders shall have no right to any dividend or distribution unless and until authorized by the Board and declared by the Trust. The exercise of the powers and rights of the Board of Trustees pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be subject to the provisions of any series or class of Shares at the time outstanding. Upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Trust, the holders of the Common Shares, subject to the preferential rights of any Preferred Shares then outstanding, shall be entitled to receive pro rata distributions of the assets of the Trust as may be authorized by the Board and declared by the Trust, after payment or provision for payment of all liabilities of the Trust.

Section 6.7. General Nature of Shares. All Shares shall be personal property entitling the Shareholders only to those rights provided in the Declaration of Trust. The Shareholders shall have no interest in the Trust Property and shall have no right to compel any partition, division, dividend or distribution of the Trust or of the Trust Property. The death of a Shareholder shall not terminate the Trust. The Trust is entitled to treat as Shareholders only those persons in whose names Shares are registered as holders of Shares on the beneficial interest ledger of the Trust.

Section 6.8. Fractional Shares. The Trust may, without the consent or approval of any Shareholder, issue fractional Shares, eliminate a fraction of a Share by rounding up or down to a full Share, arrange for the disposition of a fraction of a Share by the person entitled to it, or pay cash for the fair value of a fraction of a Share.

Section 6.9. Divisions and Combinations of Shares. Subject to an express provision to the contrary in the terms of any series or class of Shares hereafter authorized, the Board of Trustees shall have the power to divide or combine the outstanding Shares of any series or class of beneficial interest, without a vote of Shareholders. The Board of Trustees may amend the Declaration of Trust, without any action by the Shareholders, to effect any such division or combination of outstanding Shares.

Section 6.10. Redemption of Shares.

(a) No Redemption by Shareholders. The Shares of the Trust are not redeemable by the Shareholders.

(b) Shareholder Information. The holders of Shares or other securities of the Trust shall upon demand disclose to the Board of Trustees in writing such information with respect to direct and indirect ownership of Shares or other securities of the Trust as the Board deems necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code, the 1940 Act or other applicable laws or regulations, or to comply with the requirements of any other taxing or regulatory authority.

(c) Board Power to Redeem and Take other Actions. If the Board shall, at any time, determine that direct or indirect ownership of Shares of any class or series thereof has or may become concentrated in any person to an extent that would disqualify the Trust as a regulated investment company under the Code, then the Board shall have the power (but not the obligation), by such means as it deems equitable, to:

(i) call for the redemption (at the net asset value per share determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board) by any such person of a number, or principal amount, of Shares sufficient to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of Shares into conformity with the requirements for such qualification,

(ii) refuse to transfer or issue Shares of any class or series thereof to such person whose acquisition of the Shares in question would result in such disqualification, or

(iii) take such other actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to avoid such disqualification.

ARTICLE VII

SHAREHOLDERS

Section 7.1. Meetings. Meetings of the Shareholders shall be held on such notice, at such time and location and in accordance with the procedures prescribed in or determined in accordance with the Bylaws.

Except with respect to the foregoing matters, no action taken by the Shareholders at any meeting shall in any way bind the Board or the Trust. Subject to the 1940 Act, the submission of any proposed action of the Trust to the Shareholders for their consideration shall first be approved by the Board.

Section 7.3. Preemptive and Appraisal Rights. Except as may be provided by the Board of Trustees in setting the terms of classified or reclassified Shares, or as may otherwise be provided by contract approved by the Board of Trustees, no holder of Shares shall, as such holder, have any preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for any additional Shares or any other security of the Trust which it may issue or sell. Holders of Shares shall not be entitled to any appraisal rights or similar rights of objecting Shareholders.

Section 7.4. Shareholder Vote Required to Approve Amendments and Extraordinary Actions. Subject to Article IX, an amendment to the Declaration of Trust requiring Shareholder approval or a merger, conversion, consolidation or dissolution of the Trust, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust, requiring Shareholder approval shall be effective and valid if declared advisable by the Board and approved by the affirmative vote of Shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Following the effectiveness of the Trust’s initial registration statement, the Shareholders may act only at a meeting of Shareholders as provided herein and in the Bylaws and may not act or vote by written or electronic consent.

Section 7.6. Inspection of Books and Records. Shareholders shall have no right to inspect or copy any of the books or records of the Trust, except as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Trustees.

Section 7.7. Shareholder Actions. No person, other than a Trustee, who is not a Shareholder shall be entitled to bring any derivative action, suit or other proceeding on behalf of the Trust. A Shareholder or Shareholders seeking to bring a derivative action must make a pre-suit demand upon the Board of Trustees to bring the subject action and such demand shall not be excused to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. The Board of Trustees shall be afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider such Shareholder request and to investigate the basis of such claim; and the Board of Trustees or a committee thereof shall be entitled to retain counsel or other advisors in considering the merits of the request and may require an undertaking by the Shareholders making such request to reimburse the Trust for the expense of any such advisors in the event that the Board of Trustees determines not to bring such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, this Section 7.7 shall not apply to any claims asserted under the U.S. federal securities laws including, without limitation, the 1940 Act.

ARTICLE XI

TERM OF TRUST

Section 11.1. Duration. Unless (i) earlier dissolved, (ii) the term is extended pursuant to this Article XI or this Article XI is amended pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 11.2, the Trust shall have a limited period of existence and shall dissolve at the close of business fifteen years from the date of effectiveness of the Trust’s initial registration statement with the Commission (“Termination Date”), or, if applicable, at the close of business on the Extended Termination Date (as defined below).

Section 11.2. Termination.

(a) General. After the close of business on the Termination Date, or, if applicable, the Extended Termination Date (as defined below), if the Trust has not been caused to have a perpetual existence pursuant to this Article XI, the Board of Trustees shall proceed to wind up the affairs of, and liquidate, the Trust in accordance with this Article XI.

(b) Extension of Termination Date. Notwithstanding Section 11.1 of this Article XI, the Board may approve an extension of the dissolution date of the Trust to a date after the Termination Date (i) for one period that may in no event exceed one year following the Termination Date, and (ii) for one additional period that may in no event exceed six months, in each case without Shareholder approval (in each case, the “Extended Termination Date”), upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Trustees.

(c) Eligible Tender Offer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, if the Trust completes an Eligible Tender Offer (as defined below), subject to the following sentences, this Article XI may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, without a vote of the Shareholders, to eliminate the Termination Date and cause the Trust to have a perpetual existence. Following an

Eligible Tender Offer, the Trust must have at least $100 million of net assets (the “Termination Threshold”). If the Board determines that the number of properly tendered shares would result in the net assets of the Trust totaling less than the Termination Threshold, the Eligible Tender Offer shall be terminated and no Shares shall be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer and the Trust shall terminate on the Termination Date.

As used in this Article XI, an “Eligible Tender Offer” is defined as a tender offer by the Trust to purchase up to 100% of the then outstanding Common Shares with an expiration date that occurs within twelve months preceding either the Termination Date or the Extended Termination Date. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Declaration of Trust to the contrary, the Trust may conduct an Eligible Tender Offer upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, without a vote of the Shareholders.

(d) Procedure for Winding Up and Liquidating the Trust. After dissolution, the Board of Trustees shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Trust and all of the powers of the Board under this Declaration shall continue until the affairs of the Trust shall have been wound up as contemplated by the Act. The Board may, to the extent it deems appropriate, adopt a plan of liquidation at any time preceding the anticipated dissolution date, which plan of liquidation may set forth the terms and conditions for implementing the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust under this Article XI. Shareholders of the Trust shall not be entitled to vote on the adoption of any such plan or the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust under this Article XI except to the extent required by the 1940 Act. Following completion of winding up of its business, the Trustees shall cause a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Trust to be filed in accordance with the Act.

ARTICLE XII

No Trustee shall be liable for making or failing to make such a determination.
