Description of Shares. The beneficial interest in the Trust shall consist of one class of no-par Shares; however, the Trustees have authority to divide the class of Shares into Series of Shares each of which Series of Shares shall be a separate and distinct Sub-Trust of the Trust, as they deem necessary or desirable. Each Sub-Trust of Shares established will be deemed to be a separate Trust under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 182. The Trustees shall have exclusive powers without Shareholder approval to establish any Sub-Trust and to determine the relative rights and preferences between the Shares of the separate Sub-Trusts as to right of redemption and the price, terms and manner of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, sinking or purchase fund provisions, conversion rights, and conditions under which the several Sub-Trusts shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights. In addition, the Trustees shall have exclusive power, without the requirement of Shareholder approval, to issue classes of Shares of any Sub-Trust or divide the Shares of any Sub-Trust into classes, each class having such difference dividend, liquidation, voting and other rights as the Trustees may determine, and may establish and designate the specific classes of Shares of each Sub-Trust. The fact that a Sub-Trust shall have initially been established and designated without any specific establishment or designation or classes (i.e., that all Shares of such Sub-Trust are initially of a single class), or that a Sub-Trust shall have more than one established and designated class, shall not limit the authority of the Trustees to establish and designate separate classes, or one or more further classes, of said Sub-Trust without approval of the holders of the initial class thereof, or previously established and designated class or classes thereof, provided that the establishment and designation of such further separate classes would not adversely affect the rights of the holders of the initial or previously established and designated class or classes.
