AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS


RESOLVED, that the By-Laws of the Trust be and hereby are amended to add the
following:

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Outstanding Shares represented in person or by
proxy (including Shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more
of any proposals presented for Shareholder approval) will be counted for
purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at a meeting. Abstentions
will be treated as Shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of
determining the number of Shares that are present and entitled to vote with
respect to any particular proposal, but will not be counted as a vote in favor
of such proposal. If a broker or nominee holding Shares in "street name"
indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote as
to a particular proposal, those Shares will be treated as Shares that are
present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the number of Shares
that are present and entitled to vote with respect to such proposal, but will
not be counted as a vote in favor of such proposal.
