The holder of each share of each Class and Sub-Class shall be entitled to one vote for each full share, and a fractional vote for each fractional share of stock then standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation. All shares of the Classes and Sub-Classes then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, irrespective of Class or Sub-Class, shall be voted in the aggregate and not by Class or Sub-Class, except: (1) when otherwise expressly provided by the Maryland General Corporation Law; (2) when required by the 1940 Act, shares shall be voted by Class or Sub-Class; and (3) when a matter to be voted upon does not affect any interest of a particular Class or Sub-Class, then only shareholders of the affected Class(es) or Sub-Class(es) shall be entitled to vote thereon.

Each share of each Class and Sub-Class shall have the following preferences and special rights, restrictions, and limitations:

(1) All consideration received by the Corporation for the issue or sale of stock of a Class (or a Sub-Class), together with all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to the Class (or Sub-Class) of stock with respect to which such assets, payments or funds were received by the Corporation for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors.

(2) Dividends or distributions on shares of a Class (or a Sub-Class) and redemptions of any Class (or Sub-Class) shall be paid only out of earnings, surplus, or other lawfully available assets belonging to such Class (or Sub-Class).

(3) The Corporation may deduct from the proceeds of redemption of shares of each Class (or Sub-Class) (other than shares of The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio Shares) the cost incurred in liquidating investment securities to pay redemptions in cash as set forth in the By-Laws.

(4) In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, holders of each Class (or Sub-Class) shall be entitled to receive, as a Class (or a Sub-Class), out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders, but other than general assets not belonging to any particular Class (or Sub-Class), the assets belonging to such Class (or Sub-Class); and the assets so distributable to the shareholders of any Class (or Sub-Class) shall be distributed among such shareholders in proportion to the asset value of the respective Classes (or Sub-Classes). In addition such holders shall be entitled to receive their proportionate share of assets of the Corporation which do not belong solely to any particular Class (or Sub-Class), as determined by the Board of Directors.

(5) The assets belonging to each Class (or Sub-Class) shall be charged with the liabilities in respect to such Class (or Sub-Class), and shall also be charged with their share of the general liabilities of the Corporation as determined by the Board of Directors, and such determination shall be conclusive for all purposes.

FIFTH: The shares aforesaid have been duly classified by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority contained in the Charter of the Corporation and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Sections 2-105(c), 2-208 and/or 2-208.1 of the MGCL.
