Trust property or any right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares
constitute the Shareholders partners. The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth in this
Declaration. For the avoidance of doubt, Shareholders shall have no rights, privileges, claims or remedies under any contract or
agreement entered into by the Trust or any Series thereof with any service provider or other agent to or contractor with the Trust

any officer, employee nor agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind personally any Shareholder nor, except as specifically

holders of the Common Shares may be removed from his office during his term, but only for cause and only by action of the holders
of at least 75% of the outstanding Common Shares, voting separately as a class; provided, however, that if termination of a Trustee
elected by holders of the Common Shares is recommended by two-thirds of the total number of Trustees then in office elected by
the holders of the Common Shares, the vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding shall be sufficient
