Each person whose signature appears below hereby constitutes and appoints Hal Liebes, Tina Payne, Michael D. Martins, and Mia G. Pillinger, and each of them, with full power to act without the other, his/her true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for him/her and in his/her name, place and stead, in any and all capacities and as permitted by applicable law (until revoked in writing) to sign any and all amendments to the Trust’s Registration Statements on Form N-1A and Form N-14 (including post-effective amendments and amendments thereto), or other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state regulatory agency or authority applicable to the Trust, and any amendments or supplements thereto, and withdrawals thereof, and to file the same, with all exhibits thereto, and other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state regulatory agency or, granting unto said attorneys-in-fact and agents, and each of them, full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing ratifying and confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents or any of them, or their or his/her substitute or substitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

Each person whose signature appears below hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Rule 302(b)(2) of Regulation S-T, the use of an electronic signature upon filings with the SEC, as permitted by Rule 302(b)(1) of Regulation S-T, shall be the legal equivalent of his/her manual signature for purposes of authenticating the signature to the filings for which it is provided. The Trust hereby is authorized to attach each such person’s electronic signature in the form of “/s/ [NAME OF UNDERSIGNED]” to such filings following procedures under Rule 302 and other requirements that, among other things, authenticate his/her identity and logically associate his/her signature to the document in question. Each person whose signature appears below understands that s/he may not repudiate any such electronic signature filed with the SEC.

Each person whose signature appears below understands that the Trust will retain this document for as long as s/he may use an electronic signature to satisfy the requirements of Rule 302(b)(1), and for a minimum period of seven years after the date of the most recent electronically-signed “authentication document” (as that term is defined in Rule 302(b)(1)). S/he further understand that, upon request, the Trust will furnish to the SEC or its staff a copy of this document.

This Power of Attorney and Electronic Signature Attestation may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which taken together shall constitute one instrument.
