4

 the particular action requiring such determination of Shareholders is to be taken.  In such case, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, each eligible Shareholder of record on such record date shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting or adjournment, or to express such consent, or to receive payment of such dividend or distribution or to take such other action, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of Shares on the register of the Trust after the record date.
