THE TRUSTEES

Section 3.1 Number, Designation, Election, Term, etc.

(a)

Initial Trustee. Upon execution of this Declaration of Trust or a counterpart hereof or some other writing in which he accepts such Trusteeship and agrees to the provisions hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall become a Trustee hereof.

(b)

Number. The Trustee(s) serving as such, whether named above or hereafter becoming a Trustee, may increase or decrease the number of Trustees from time to time; provided that there be at least three Trustees subsequent to any sale of Shares pursuant to a public offering. No decrease in the number of Trustees shall have the effect of removing any Trustee from office prior to the expiration of his term, but the number of Trustees may be decreased in conjunction with the removal of a Trustee pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 3.1.

(c)

Term. Subject to the provisions set forth below, and subject to the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, each Trustee shall serve as a Trustee during the lifetime of the Trust and until its termination as hereinafter provided or until such Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires or is removed or the election and qualification of his successor, provided however that any Trustee who has served to the end of his term of office as has been established pursuant to any written policy adopted from time to time by a majority of the Trustees shall, automatically and without action of such Trustee or the remaining Trustees, be deemed to have retired in accordance with the terms of such policy, effective as of the date determined in accordance with such policy. The Trustees may elect their own successors and may, pursuant to Section 3.1(g) hereof, appoint Trustees to fill vacancies.

(d)

Resignation and Retirement. Any Trustee may resign his trust or retire as a Trustee, by written instrument signed by him and delivered to the other Trustees or to any officer of the Trust, and such resignation or retirement shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is specified in such instrument.

(e)

Mandatory Retirement. Any Trustee who has attained a mandatory retirement age established pursuant to any written policy adopted from time to time by a majority of the Trustees shall, automatically and without action of such Trustee or the remaining Trustees, be deemed to have retired in accordance with the terms of such policy, effective as of the date determined in accordance with such policy.

(f)

Removal. Any Trustee may be removed with or without cause at any time: (i) by written instrument, signed by not less than two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal, specifying the date upon which such removal shall become effective, (ii) by vote of the Shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the Shares then outstanding, cast in person or by proxy at any meeting called for the purpose, or (iii) by a declaration in writing signed by Shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the Shares then outstanding and filed with the Trust's Custodian.

(g)

Vacancies. Any vacancy or anticipated vacancy resulting from any reason, including without limitation, the death, resignation, retirement, removal or incapacity of any of the Trustees or resulting from an increase in the number of Trustees by the Trustees, may (but so long as there are at least two remaining Trustees, need not unless required by the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) be filled either by a majority of the remaining Trustees through the appointment of such other person as such remaining Trustees in their discretion shall determine (unless a shareholder election is required by the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) or by the election by the Shareholders, at a meeting called for the purpose, of a person to fill such vacancy, and such appointment or election shall be effective upon the written acceptance of the person named therein to serve as a Trustee and agreement by such person to be bound by the provisions of this Declaration of Trust, except that any such appointment or election in anticipation of a vacancy to occur by reason of retirement, resignation, or increase in number of Trustees to be effective at a later date shall become effective only at or after the effective date of said retirement, resignation, or increase in number of Trustees. As soon as any Trustee so appointed or elected shall have accepted such appointment or election and shall have agreed in writing to be bound by this Declaration of Trust and the appointment or election is effective, the Trust estate shall vest in the new Trustee, together with the continuing Trustees, without any further act or conveyance.

(h)

Effect of Death, Resignation, etc. The death, resignation, retirement, removal, or incapacity of the Trustees, or any one of them, shall not operate to annul or terminate the Trust or to revoke or terminate any existing agency or contract created or entered into pursuant to the terms of this Declaration of Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled as provided herein, the other Trustees in office, regardless of their number, shall have all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by this Declaration of Trust, and only such other Trustees shall be counted for the purposes of the existence of a quorum or the taking of any action to be taken by the Trustees. A written instrument certifying the existence of such vacancy signed by a majority of the Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the existence thereof.

(i)

No Accounting. Except to the extent required by the 1940 Act or under circumstances which wouldjustify his removal for cause, no person ceasing to be a Trustee as a result of his death, resignation, retirement, removal or incapacity (nor the estate of any such person) shall be required to make an accounting to the Shareholders or remaining Trustees upon such cessation.

Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the fact that:

(i) any of the Shareholders, Trustees or officers of the Trust is a shareholder, director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, manager, adviser, principal underwriter or distributor or agent of or for any Contracting Party, or of or for any parent or affiliate of any Contracting Party or that the Contracting Party or any parent or affiliate thereof is a Shareholder or has an interest in the Trust, or that

(ii) any Contracting Party may have a contract providing for the rendering of any similar services to one or more other corporations, trusts, associations, partnerships, limited partnerships or other organizations, or has other business or interests,

shall not affect the validity of any contract for the performance and assumption of services, duties and responsibilities to, for or of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof and/or the Trustees 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 that in the case of any relationship or interest referred to in the preceding clause (i) on the part of any Trustee or officer of the Trust either (1) the material facts as to such relationship or interest have been disclosed to or are known by the Trustees not having any such relationship or interest and the contract involved is approved in good faith reasonably justified by such facts by a majority of such Trustees not having any such relationship or interest (even though such unrelated or disinterested Trustees are less than a quorum of all of the Trustees), or (2) the specific contract involved is fair to the Trust as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Trustees or by the Shareholders.

Section 3.4 Payment of Trust Expenses and Compensation of Trustees. The Trustees are authorized to pay or to cause to be paid out of the principal or income of the Trust, or partly out of principal and partly out of income, and to charge or allocate the same to, between or among such one or more of the Series or Classes that may be established and designated pursuant to Article IV, as the Trustees deem fair, all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities incurred or arising in connection with the Trust, or in connection with the management thereof, including, but not limited to, the Trustees' compensation and such expenses and charges for the services of the Trust's officers, employees, investment adviser, administrator, distributor, principal underwriter, auditor, counsel, depository, custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, accounting agent, Shareholder servicing agent, and such other agents, consultants, and independent contractors and such other expenses and charges as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the Trustees shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust for their services as Trustees and may fix the amount of such compensation.

Section 3.5 Ownership of Assets of the Trust. Title to all of the assets of the Trust shall at all times be considered as vested in the Trustees.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 Description of Shares. The beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into Shares, all without par value, but the Trustees shall, subject to the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, have the authority from time to time to divide the Shares into two or more Series of Shares, as they deem necessary or desirable, to establish and designate such Series, and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the different Series of Shares 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 Series shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights and as are not inconsistent with any provision of this Declaration of Trust. Except as aforesaid all Shares of the different Series shall be identical.

The Shares of each Series may be issued or reissued from time to time in one or more Classes, as determined by the Board of Trustees pursuant to resolution. Each Class shall be appropriately designated, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof, by some distinguishing letter, number or title. All Shares within a Class shall be alike in every particular. All Shares of each Series shall be of equal rank and have the same powers, preferences and rights, and shall be subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions without distinction between the shares of different Classes thereof, except with respect to such differences among such Classes, as the Board of Trustees shall from time to time determine to be necessary or desirable, including differences in the rate or rates of dividends or distributions. The Board of Trustees may from time to time increase the number of Shares allocated to any Class already created by providing that any unissued Shares of the applicable Series shall constitute part of such Class, or may decrease the number of Shares allocated to any Class already created by providing that any unissued Shares previously assigned to such Class shall no longer constitute part thereof. The Board of Trustees is hereby empowered to classify or reclassify from time to time any unissued Shares of each Series by fixing or altering the terms thereof and by assigning such unissued shares to an existing or newly created Class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph the Board of Trustees is hereby empowered (i) to redesignate any issued Shares of any Series by assigning a distinguishing letter, number or title to such shares and (ii) to reclassify all or any part of the issued Shares of any Series to make them part of an existing or newly created Class. The number of authorized Shares and the number of Shares of each Series that may be issued is unlimited, and the Trustees may issue Shares of any Series for such consideration and on such terms as they may determine (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Share dividend or split-up), all without action or approval of the Shareholders. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the Trustees shall be fully paid and non-assessable (but may be subject to mandatory contribution back to the Trust as provided in subsection (g) of Section 4.2). The Trustees may classify or reclassify any unissued Shares or any Shares previously issued and reacquired of any Series into one or more Series that may be established and designated from time to time. The Trustees may hold as treasury Shares (of the same or some other Series), reissue for such consideration and on such terms as they may determine, or cancel, at their discretion from time to time, any Shares of any Series reacquired by the Trust.

The Trustees may from time to time close the transfer books or establish record dates and times for the purposes of determining the holders of Shares entitled to be treated as such, to the extent provided or referred to in the Bylaws.

The establishment and designation of any Series of Shares in addition to that established and designated in Section 4.2, or of any Class of Shares, shall be effective (a) upon the execution by a majority of the then Trustees of an instrument setting forth such establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences of such Series or Class, (b) upon the vote of a majority of the Trustees as set forth in an instrument executed by an officer of the Trust, or (c) otherwise or at such other time as the instrument referred to in the foregoing clause (a) or the vote referred to in the foregoing clause (b) may provide. At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of any particular Series or Class previously established and designated the Trustees may by an instrument executed by a majority of their number abolish that Series or Class and the establishment and designation thereof. Each instrument referred to in this paragraph shall have the status of an amendment to this Declaration of Trust.

Any Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust, and any organization in which any such person is interested may acquire, own, hold and dispose of Shares of any Series of the Trust to the same extent as if such person were not a Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust; and the Trust may issue and sell or cause to be issued and sold and may purchase Shares of any Series from any such person or any such organization subject only to the general limitations, restrictions or other provisions applicable to the sale or purchase of Shares of such Series generally.

Section 4.2 Establishment and Designation of Series. Without limiting the authority of the Trustees set forth in Section 4.1 to establish and designate any further Series, the Trustees hereby establish and designate two Series of Shares: “▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Fixed Income Fund” and “▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Income and Appreciation Fund.” The Shares of these Series and any Shares of any further Series that may from time to time be established and designated by the Trustees shall (unless the Trustees otherwise determine with respect to some further Series or Class at the time of establishing and designating the same) have the following relative rights and preferences:

(a)

Assets Belonging to Series. All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series or Class, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to that Series or Class for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of such Series or Class, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Trust. Such consideration, assets, income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be, together with any General Items allocated to that Series or Class as provided in the following sentence, are herein referred to as "assets belonging to" that Series or Class. In the event that there are any assets, incomes, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series or Class (collectively "General Items"), the Trustees shall allocate such General Items to and among any one or more of the Series or Classes established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable; and any General Items so allocated to a particular Series or Class shall belong to that Series or Class. Each such allocation by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series and Classes for all purposes. No holder of Shares of any particular Series or Class shall have any claim on or right to any assets allocated or belonging to any other Series of Shares or Class. No holder of Shares of any particular Series or Class shall be entitled to participate in a derivative or class action on behalf of any other Series or Class or the Shareholders of any other Series or Class.

The Trustees shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with the 1940 Act, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital; and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders.

(b)

Liabilities Belonging to Series. The assets belonging to each particular Series or Class shall be charged with the liabilities of the Trust in respect of that Series or Class and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series or Class, and any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series or Class shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees to and among any one or more of the Series or Classes established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. The liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves allocated and so charged to a Series or Class are herein referred to as "liabilities belonging to" that Series or Class. Each allocation of liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the holders of all Series and Classes for all purposes. Under no circumstances shall the assets allocated or belonging to any particular Series or Class be charged with liabilities attributable to any other Series. All persons who have extended credit which has been allocated to a particular Series or Class, or who have a claim or contract which has been allocated to any particular Series or Class, shall look only to the assets of that particular Series or Class for payment of such credit, claim or contract.

(c)

Dividends. Dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Series may be paid with such frequency as the Trustees may determine, which may be daily or otherwise pursuant to a standing resolution or resolutions adopted only once or with such frequency as the Trustees may determine, to the holders of Shares of that Series, from such of the estimated income and capital gains, accrued or realized, from the assets belonging to that Series, as the Trustees may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities belonging to that Series. All dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Series shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of that Series in proportion to the number of Shares of that Series held by such holders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such dividends or distributions, except that in connection with any dividend or distribution program or procedure the Trustees may determine that no dividend or distribution shall be payable on Shares as to which the Shareholder's purchase order and/or payment have not been received by the time or times established by the Trustees under such program or procedure, and except that if Classes have been established for any Series, the rate of dividends or distributions may vary among such Classes pursuant to resolution, which may be a standing resolution, of the Board of Trustees. Such dividends and distributions may be made in cash or Shares or a combination thereof as determined by the Trustees or pursuant to any program that the Trustees may have in effect at the time for the election by each Shareholder of mode of the making of such dividend or distribution to that Shareholder. Any such dividend or distribution paid in Shares will be paid at the net asset value thereof as determined in accordance with subsection (h) of Section 4.2.

The Trust intends to qualify each Series as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor or comparable statute thereto, and regulations promulgated thereunder. Inasmuch as the computation of net income and gains for federal income tax purposes may vary from the computation thereof on the books of the Trust, the Board of Trustees shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to distribute in any fiscal year as dividends, including dividends designated in whole or in part as capital gains distributions, amounts sufficient, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, to enable each Series to qualify as a regulated investment company and to avoid liability of the Series for federal income tax in respect of that year. However, nothing in the foregoing shall limit the authority of the Board of Trustees to make distributions greater than or less than the amount necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to avoid liability of each Series for such tax.

(d)

Liquidation. In event of the liquidation or dissolution of a Series, or of the Trust as a whole, the Shareholders of each Series that has been established and designated shall be entitled to receive, as a Series, when and as declared by the Trustees, the excess of the assets belonging to that Series over the liabilities belonging to that Series. The assets so distributable to the Shareholders of any particular Series shall be distributed among such Shareholders in proportion to the number of Shares of that Series held by them and recorded on the books of the Trust. The liquidation of any particular Series may be authorized by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office without Shareholder approval.

(e)

Voting. All shares of all Series shall have "equal voting rights" as such term is defined in the 1940 Act and except as otherwise provided by the 1940 Act. Shareholders entitled to vote on any matter will have one vote for each Share owned. On each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, all Shares of all Series shall vote as a single class ("Single Class Voting"); provided, however, that (a) as to any matter with respect to which a separate vote of any Series or Class is required by the 1940 Act, such requirements as to a separate vote by that Series or Class shall apply in lieu of Single Class Voting as described above; (b) in the event that the separate vote requirements referred to in (a) above apply with respect to one or more Series or Class, then, subject to (c) below, the Shares of all other Series or Classes shall vote as a single class; and (c) as to any matter which does not affect the interest of a particular Series or Class, only the holders of Shares of the one or more affected Series or Class shall be entitled to vote.

(f)

Redemption by Shareholder. Each holder of Shares of a particular Series shall have the right at such times as may be permitted by the Trust, but no less frequently than required by the 1940 Act, to require the Trust to redeem all or any part of his Shares of that Series or Class at a redemption price equal to the net asset value per Share of that Series or Class next determined in accordance with subsection (h) of this Section 4.2, less any applicable redemption fee or sales charge, after the Shares are properly tendered for redemption. Payment of the redemption price shall be made from the assets of the applicable Series in cash; provided, however, that if the Trustees determine, which determination shall be conclusive, that conditions exist which make payment wholly in cash unwise or undesirable, the Trust may make payment wholly or partly in securities or other assets belonging to the Series of which the Shares being redeemed are part at the value of such securities or assets used in such determination of net asset value.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust may postpone payment of the redemption price and may suspend the right of the holders of Shares of any Series or Class to require the Trust to redeem Shares of that Series or Class during any period or at any time when and to the extent permissible under the 1940 Act, and such redemption is conditioned upon the Trust having funds or property legally available therefor.

(g)

Redemption by Trust. Each Share of each Series or Class that has been established and designated is subject to redemption by the Trust at the redemption price which would be applicable if such Share was then being redeemed by the Shareholder pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 4.2 at any time and for any reason under the terms set by the Trustees, including but not limited to: (a) if the Trustees determine in their sole discretion that failure to so redeem may have materially adverse consequences to all or any of the holders of the Shares, or any Series or Class of the Trust, (b) the determination of the Trustees that direct or indirect ownership of Shares of any Series has or may become concentrated in such Shareholder to an extent that would disqualify that Series as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor statute thereto), (c) the failure of a Shareholder to supply a tax identification number if required to do so, (d) the failure of a Shareholder to pay when due for the purchase of Shares issued to that Shareholder, (e) the value of a Shareholder's Shares being less than a minimum amount established from time to time by the Trustees, (f) the failure of a Shareholder to meet or maintain the qualifications for ownership of a particular Series or Class of Shares, (g) the determination by the Trustees or pursuant to policies adopted by the Trustees that ownership of Shares by a particular Shareholder is not in the best interests of the remaining Shareholders of the Trust or applicable Series or Class and (h) the determination by the Trustees that the failure to redeem may have materially adverse consequences to all or any of the holders of Shares, or any Series or Class thereof, of the Trust. Upon such redemption the holders of the Shares so redeemed shall have no further right with respect thereto other than to receive payment of such redemption price.

(h)

Net Asset Value. The net asset value per Share of any Series or Class shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the value of the net assets of that Series or Class (being the value of the assets belonging to that Series or Class less the liabilities belonging to that Series or Class) by the total number of Shares of that Series or Class outstanding, all determined in accordance with the methods and procedures, including without limitation those with respect to rounding, established by the Trustees from time to time. The Trustees may determine to maintain the net asset value per Share of any Series or Class at a designated constant dollar amount and in connection therewith may reduce the number of outstanding Shares of the Series or Class by reducing the number of Shares in the account of each Shareholder on a pro rata basis, so as to maintain the net asset value per Share of such Series or Class at a constant dollar amount.

(i)

Transfer. All Shares of each particular Series or Class shall be transferable, but transfers of Shares of a particular Series or Class will be recorded on the Share transfer records of the Trust applicable to that Series or Class only at such times as Shareholders shall have the right to require the Trust to redeem Shares of that Series or Class and at such other times as may be permitted by the Trustees.

(j)

Equality. All Shares of each particular Series shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to that Series (subject to the liabilities belonging to that Series), and each Share of any particular Series shall be equal to each other Share of that Series; but the provisions of this sentence shall not restrict any distinctions among Classes permissible under this Section 4.2 that may exist with respect to Shares of the same Series. The Trustees may from time to time divide or combine the Shares of any particular Series into a greater or lesser number of Shares of that Series without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that Series or in any way affecting the rights of Shares of any other Series.

(k)

Fractions. Any fractional Share of any Series or Class, if any such fractional Share is outstanding, shall carry proportionately all the rights and obligations of a whole Share of that Series or Class, including with respect to voting, receipt of dividends and distributions, redemption of Shares, and liquidation of the Trust.

(l)

Conversion Rights. Subject to compliance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Trustees shall have the authority to provide that holders of Shares of any Series shall have the right to convert said Shares into Shares of one or more other Series of Shares in accordance with such requirements and procedures as may be established by the Trustees.

Section 4.3 Ownership of Shares. The ownership of Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Trust or of a transfer or similar agent for the Trust, which books shall be maintained separately for the Shares of each Series that has been established and designated. No certificates certifying the ownership of Shares need be issued except as the Trustees may otherwise determine from time to time, and, if so issued, may be retired by the Trustees at any time. The Trustees may make such rules as they consider appropriate for the issuance of Share certificates, the use of facsimile signatures, the transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust as kept by the Trust or any transfer or similar agent, as the case may be, shall be conclusive as to who are the Shareholders and as to the number of Shares of each Series and Class held from time to time by each such Shareholder.

Section 4.4 Investments in the Trust. The Trustees may accept investments in the Trust from such persons and on such terms and for such consideration, not inconsistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act, as they from time to time authorize. The Trustees may authorize any distributor, principal underwriter, custodian, transfer agent or other person to accept orders for the purchase of Shares that conform to such authorized terms and to reject any purchase orders for Shares whether or not conforming to such authorized terms.

Section 4.5 No Preemptive Rights. Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust.

Section 4.6 Status of Shares and Limitation of Personal Liability. Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving only the rights provided in this instrument. Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms hereof and to have become a party hereto. The death of a Shareholder during the continuance of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the Trust nor entitle the representative of any deceased Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but only to the rights of said decedent under this Trust. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders as partners. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees, nor any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind personally any Shareholder, nor except as specifically provided herein to call upon any Shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at any time personally agree to pay.

ARTICLE V

SHAREHOLDERS' VOTING POWERS AND MEETINGS

The Shareholders shall have power to vote only (i) for the election or removal of Trustees as provided in Section 3.1, (ii) with respect to any contract with a Contracting Party as provided in Section 3.3 as to which Shareholder approval is required by the 1940 Act, (iii) with respect to any termination or reorganization of the Trust or any Series to the extent and as provided in Sections 7.1 and 7.2, (iv) with respect to any amendment of this Declaration of Trust to the extent and as provided in Section 7.3, (v) to the same extent as the stockholders of an Ohio business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or the Shareholders, and (vi) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by the 1940 Act, this Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws or any registration of the Trust with the Commission (or any successor agency) or any state, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of any Trustee or Trustees. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy. A proxy with respect to Shares held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by any one of them unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the Trust receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. Until Shares are issued, the Trustees may exercise all rights of Shareholders and may take any action required by law, this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws to be taken by Shareholders. A majority of the Shares present in person or by proxy, at a meeting of which a quorum is present, shall decide any questions and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, except when a different vote is required or permitted by any provision of the 1940 Act or other applicable law or by this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws.

The Bylaws may include further provisions for Shareholders' votes and meetings, including the establishment of record dates, the determination of a quorum and related matters not inconsistent with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE VI

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Trustees, Shareholders, etc. Not Personally Liable; Notice. No Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any person in connection with Trust property or the affairs of the Trust; and all persons shall look solely to the Trust property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust. No Shareholder or former Shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any person in connection with Trust property or the acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust solely by reason of being or having been a Shareholder.

All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust shall look only to the assets of the Trust for payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Shareholders nor the Trustees, nor any of the Trust's officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor. Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees or any of them in connection with the Trust shall be conclusively deemed to have been executed or done only by or for the Trust or the Trustees and not personally. Nothing in this Declaration of Trust shall protect any Trustee or officer against any liability to the Trust or the Shareholders to which such Trustee or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee or of such officer.

Every written note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or by any officers or officer shall give notice that this Declaration of Trust is on file with the Secretary of the State of Ohio and shall recite to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Trust or by them as Trustees or Trustee or as officers or officer and not individually and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon any of them or the Shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind any Trustees or Trustee or officers or officer or Shareholders or Shareholder individually.

Section 6.2 Trustee's or Officer’s Good Faith Action; Expert Advice; No Bond or Surety. The exercise by the Trustees or the officers of the Trust of their powers and discretions hereunder shall be binding upon everyone interested. A Trustee or officer of the Trust shall be liable for his own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee or officer, and for nothing else, and shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. Subject to the foregoing, (a) neither the Trustees nor the officers shall be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, agent, employee, consultant, adviser, administrator, distributor or principal underwriter, custodian or transfer, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing or accounting agent of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee; (b) the Trustees and the officers may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the meaning and operation of this Declaration of Trust and their duties as Trustees and officers, and shall be under no liability for any act or omission in accordance with such advice or for failing to follow such advice; and (c) in discharging their duties, the Trustees and officers, when acting in good faith, shall be entitled to rely upon the books of account of the Trust and upon written reports made to the Trustees by any of its officers, any independent public accountant, and (with respect to the subject matter of the contract involved) any officer, partner or responsible employee of a Contracting Party appointed by the Trustees pursuant to Section 3.3. The Trustees as such shall not be required to give any bond or surety or any other security for the performance of their duties. Nothing stated herein is intended to detract from the protection accorded to Trustees by Ohio Revised Code Sections 1746.08 and 1701.59, as amended from time to time.

Section 6.3 Indemnification of Shareholders. In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder shall be charged or held to be personally liable for any obligation or liability of the Trust or any Series solely by reason of being or having been a Shareholder (other than taxes payable by virtue of owning shares) and not because of such Shareholder's acts or omissions or for some other reason, the Trust (upon proper and timely request by the Shareholder) shall assume the defense against such charge and satisfy any judgment thereon, and the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets of the applicable series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability.

Section 6.4 Indemnification of Trustees, Officers, etc. Subject to and except as otherwise provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, the Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers, including persons who serve at the Trust's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Trustee or officer, director or trustee, and except that no Covered Person shall be indemnified against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

Section 6.5 Advances of Expenses. The Trust shall advance attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 1940 Act, and Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1707, as amended. In the event any of these laws conflict with Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), as amended, these laws, and not Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), shall govern.

Section 6.6 Indemnification Not Exclusive, etc. The right of indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any such Covered Person may be entitled. As used in this Article VI, "Covered Person" shall include such person's heirs, executors and administrators. Nothing contained in this article shall affect any rights to indemnification to which personnel of the Trust, other than Trustees and officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, nor the power of the Trust to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any such person.

Section 6.7 Liability of Third Persons Dealing with Trustees. No person dealing with the Trustees shall be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction made or to be made by the Trustees or to see to the application of any payments made or property transferred to the Trust or upon its order.

Section 6.8. Derivative Actions. No Shareholder shall have the right to bring or maintain any court action, proceeding or claim on behalf of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof without first making demand on the Trustees requesting the Trustees to bring or maintain such action, proceeding or claim. Such demand shall be excused only when the plaintiff makes a specific showing that irreparable injury to the Trust or any Series or Class thereof would otherwise result, or if a majority of the Trustees, or a majority of any committee established to consider the merits of such action, has a personal financial interest in the action at issue. A Trustee shall not be deemed to have a personal financial interest in an action or otherwise be disqualified from ruling on a Shareholder demand by virtue of the fact that such Trustee receives remuneration from his or her service on the Board of Trustees of the Trust or on the boards of one or more investment companies with the same or an affiliated investment advisor or underwriter, or the amount of such remuneration.

Such demand shall be mailed to the Secretary of the Trust at the Trust's principal office and shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the proposed court action, proceeding or claim and the essential facts relied upon by the Shareholder to support the allegations made in the demand. The Trustees shall consider such demand within 45 days of its receipt by the Trust. In their sole discretion, the Trustees may submit the matter to a vote of Shareholders of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof, as appropriate. Any decision by the Trustees to bring, maintain or settle (or not to bring, maintain or settle) such court action, proceeding or claim, or to submit the matter to a vote of Shareholders, shall be made by the Trustees in their business judgment and shall be binding upon the Shareholders. Any decision by the Trustees to bring or maintain a court action, proceeding or suit on behalf of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof shall be subject to the right of the Shareholders under Article V of this Declaration of Trust to vote on whether or not such court action, proceeding or suit should or should not be brought or maintained.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Duration and Termination of Trust. Unless terminated as provided herein, the Trust shall continue without limitation of time. The Trust may be terminated at any time by a majority of the Trustees then in office.

Upon termination, after paying or otherwise providing for all charges, taxes, expenses and liabilities, whether due or accrued or anticipated as may be determined by the Trustees, the Trust shall in accordance with such procedures as the Trustees consider appropriate reduce the remaining assets to distributable form in cash, securities or other property, or any combination thereof, and distribute the proceeds to the Shareholders, in conformity with the provisions of subsection (d) of Section 4.2.

Section 7.2 Reorganization.

(a)

The Trustees may sell, convey and transfer the assets of the Trust, or the assets belonging to any one or more Series, to another trust, partnership, association or corporation organized under the laws of any state of the United States, or to the Trust to be held as assets belonging to another Series of the Trust, in exchange for cash, shares or other securities (including, in the case of a transfer to another Series of the Trust, Shares of such other Series) with such transfer being made subject to, or with the assumption by the transferee of, all or substantially all the liabilities belonging to each Series the assets of which are so transferred; provided, however, that, if shareholder approval is required by applicable law, no assets belonging to any particular Series shall be so transferred unless the terms of such transfer shall have first been approved at a meeting called for the purpose by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting Shares, as defined in the 1940 Act, of that Series.

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a) above, any one or more Series may, either as the successor, survivor or non-survivor, (1) consolidate or merge with one or more other trusts, partnerships, associations or corporations, including any series or class thereof, organized under the laws of the State of Ohio or any other state of the United States; or (2) transfer a substantial portion of its assets to one or more other trusts, partnerships, associations or corporations, including any series or class thereof, organized under the laws of the State of Ohio or any other state of the United States, any such consolidation, merger or transfer to be upon such terms and conditions as are specified in an agreement and plan of reorganization authorized and approved by the Trustees and entered into by the relevant series in connection therewith. Any such consolidation, merger or transfer may be authorized by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office without the approval of Shareholders of any Series.

(c)

Following such transfer, the Trustees shall distribute such cash, shares or other securities (giving due effect to the assets and liabilities belonging to and any other differences among the various Series the assets belonging to which have so been transferred) among the Shareholders of the Series the assets belonging to which have been so transferred; and if all of the assets of the Trust have been so transferred, the Trust shall be terminated.

Section 7.3 Amendments.

(a)

All rights granted to the Shareholders under this Declaration of Trust are granted subject to the reservation of the right to amend this Declaration of Trust as herein provided. Subject to the foregoing, the Trustees may, by an instrument in writing signed by a majority of the then Trustees (or by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a majority of such Trustees), without any Shareholder vote, amend or otherwise supplement this Declaration of Trust by making an amendment, a Declaration of Trust supplemental hereto or an amended and restated Declaration of Trust. Without limiting the foregoing power reserved to the Trustees, the Trustees may, without any Shareholder vote, amend this Declaration of Trust in order to (a) establish and designate any new Series of Shares not established and designated in Section 4.2, or any Class or amend any such establishment or designation; (b) change the name of the Trust or the name of any Series or Class theretofore established and designated or the name of its principal office or agent, as applicable; (iii) supply any omission, cure any ambiguity or cure, correct or supplement any provision hereof which is internally inconsistent with any other provision hereof ; or (iv) if the Trustees deem it necessary and advisable, to conform this Declaration of Trust to the requirements of applicable law, including the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations, in order that the Trust may obtain the most favorable treatment thereunder available to regulated investment companies, but the Trustees shall not be liable for failing to do so. Subject to the foregoing, any such amendment shall be effective as provided in the instrument containing the terms of such amendment or, if there is no provision therein with respect to effectiveness, upon the execution of such instrument and of a certificate (which may be a part of such instrument) executed by a Trustee or officer of the Trust to the effect that such amendment has been duly adopted.

(b)

Shareholders shall have the right to vote on (i) any amendment that would affect their right to vote granted hereunder; (ii) any amendment to this Section; (iii) any amendment as may be required by law, or by the Trust's registration statement, to be approved by Shareholders; and (iv) any amendment submitted to them by the Trustees. Any amendment on which Shareholders have the right to vote shall require the vote, or the written consent, without a meeting, of the holders of Shares representing not less than a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustees shall determine that any amendment required or permitted to be submitted to Shareholders would affect only the interest of Shareholders of particular Series or Classes of Shares, then only Shareholders of such Series or Classes, as applicable, shall be entitled to vote thereon, and no vote of Shareholders of any other Series or Classes shall be required. Subject to the foregoing, any such amendment shall be effective as provided in the instrument containing the terms of such amendment or, if there is no provision therein with respect to effectiveness, upon the execution of such instrument and of a certificate (which may be a part of such instrument) executed by a Trustee or officer of the Trust to the effect that such amendment has been duly adopted.

(c)

Nothing contained in this Declaration of Trust shall permit the amendment of this Declaration of Trust to impair the exemption from personal liability of the Shareholders, former Shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Trust or to permit assessments upon Shareholders or former Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any amendment to Section 6.4 shall not limit the rights to indemnification or insurance provided therein with respect to actions or omissions of persons entitled to indemnification under such Section prior to such amendment.

(d)

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, until such time as Shares of a particular Series or Class are first issued, this Declaration of Trust may be terminated or amended in any respect as to that Series or Class, and as to any Series or Class in which Shares are not outstanding, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees or by an instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees.

Section 7.4 Use of Name. If ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) ceases to act as investment adviser to a Series of the Trust, or, in any event, if the Adviser so requests in writing, the Trust agrees to take all necessary action to change the names of the Trust and any series of the Trust to a name not including the term “▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” or “EBS.” The Adviser may from time to time make available to the Trust for its use, without charge to the Trust, such marks or symbols owned by the Adviser, including marks or symbols containing the term “▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” or “EBS,” or any variation thereof, as the Adviser may consider appropriate. Any such marks or symbols so made available will remain the Adviser’s property and it shall have the right, upon notice in writing, to require the Trust to cease the use of such ▇▇▇▇ or symbol at any time.

Section 7.5 Filing of Copies; References; Headings. The original or a copy of this instrument and of each amendment hereto shall be kept at the office of the Trust where it may be inspected by any Shareholder.
