AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
OF
PUTNAM HIGH INCOME SECURITIES FUND,
PUTNAM MASTER INTERMEDIATE INCOME TRUST, AND
PUTNAM PREMIER INCOME TRUST

(Dated as of October 17, 2014)


ARTICLE 1
Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Principal Office

      1.1  Agreement and Declaration of Trust.  These Bylaws
shall be subject to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as
from time to time in effect (the Declaration of Trust), of the
Massachusetts business trust established by the Declaration of
Trust (the Trust).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in
these Bylaws have the meanings given to them in the Declaration
of Trust.

      1.2  Principal Office of the Trust.  The principal office
of the Trust shall be located in Boston, Massachusetts.  The
Trust may have other principal offices within or without the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as the Trustees may from time to
time determine.

ARTICLE 2
Meetings of Trustees

      2.1  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Trustees
may be held without call or notice at such places and at such
times as the Trustees may from time to time determine, provided
that notice of the first regular meeting following any such
determination shall be given to absent Trustees.

      2.2  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Trustees
may be held at any time and at any place designated in the call
of the meeting when called by the Chair of the Trustees, the
President, the Executive Vice President or the Treasurer or by
two or more Trustees, sufficient notice thereof being given to
each Trustee by the Clerk or an Assistant Clerk or by the
officer or the Trustees calling the meeting.

      2.3  Notice of Special Meetings.  It shall be sufficient
notice to a Trustee of a special meeting: (a) to send notice (i)
by mail at least forty-eight hours before the meeting, (ii) by
courier at least forty-eight hours before the meeting, (iii) by
electronic mail (e-mail), facsimile or other electronic means at
least twenty-four hours before the meeting, in each case,
addressed to the Trustee at his or her usual or last known
business or residence address (or e-mail address, facsimile
number or other appropriate address); or (b) to give notice to
him or her in person or by telephone at least twenty-four hours
before the meeting.  Notice of a special meeting need not be
given to any Trustee if a written waiver of notice, executed by
him or her before or after the meeting, is filed with the
records of the meeting, or to any Trustee who attends the
meeting without protesting before or at its commencement the
lack of notice to him or her.  Any written waiver of notice may
be provided and delivered to the Trust by mail, courier, e-mail,
facsimile or other electronic means. Neither notice of a meeting
nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the
meeting.  All notices shall be deemed to be given when sent.

      2.4  Quorum.  At any meeting of the Trustees a majority of
the Trustees then in office shall constitute a quorum.  Once a
quorum has been validly established for a meeting, it cannot be
broken by Trustees withdrawing from the meeting.  Any meeting
may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes
cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and
the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

      2.5  Telephone Meeting; Action Without a Meeting.  Except
as otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust and these
Bylaws, any action to be taken by the Trustees may be taken by a
majority of the Trustees present at the meeting of the Trustees
(a quorum being present), including any meeting held by means of
a conference telephone or other communications equipment by
means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other at the same time and participation by such means
shall constitute presence in person at a meeting. Any action to
be taken by the Trustees may also be taken without a meeting if
one or more written consents thereto are signed by a majority of
the Trustees.  Any written consent may be given by mail,
courier, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means.  Copies of
such written consents shall be filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the Trustees.  Such consents shall be treated for
all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of the Trustees.  If
in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust
and these Bylaws any action is taken by the Trustees by written
consents of less than all of the Trustees, then prompt notice of
any such action shall be furnished to each Trustee who did not
execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of
such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to
furnish such notice.

ARTICLE 3
Officers

      3.1  Enumeration; Qualification.  The officers of the Trust
shall be a President, a Treasurer, a Clerk and such other
officers (including Vice President, which shall include the
office of Executive Vice President), if any, as the Trustees
from time to time may in their discretion elect.  The Trust may
also have such agents as the Trustees from time to time may in
their discretion appoint.  In addition, there shall be a Chair
of the Trustees, who will be considered an officer of the
Trustees and not of the Trust.  The Chair of the Trustees shall
be a Trustee and may but need not be a Shareholder; and any
other officer may but need not be a Trustee or a Shareholder.
Any two or more offices may be held by the same person.

      3.2  Election.  The Chair of the Trustees, the President,
the Treasurer and the Clerk shall be elected by the Trustees
upon the occurrence of any vacancy in any such office.  Other
officers, if any, may be elected or appointed by the Trustees at
any time.  Vacancies in any such other office may be filled at
any time.

      3.3  Tenure.  The Chair of the Trustees, the President, the
Treasurer and the Clerk shall hold office in each case until he
or she dies, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified.  Each
other officer shall hold office, and each agent shall retain
authority, at the pleasure of the Trustees.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the tenure of any officer of the Trust who is an
employee or officer of the Trusts investment adviser or its
affiliates shall automatically terminate contemporaneously with
the termination of such persons employment with, or service as
officer of, the Trusts investment adviser and all of its
affiliates.

      3.4  Powers.  Subject to the other provisions of these
Bylaws, each officer shall have, in addition to the duties and
powers set forth in these Bylaws and in the Declaration of
Trust, such duties and powers as are commonly incident to the
office occupied by him or her as if the Trust were organized as
a Massachusetts business corporation and such other duties and
powers as the Trustees may from time to time designate.

      3.5  Chair.  Unless the Trustees otherwise provide, the
Chair of the Trustees shall preside at all meetings of the
Trustees.  The Chair of the Trustees shall have such other
duties and powers relating to the operations of the Trustees as
the Trustees may from time to time designate, but shall have no
individual authority to act for the Trust as an officer of the
Trust.  The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Trust, as that term is defined
in the 1940 Act, may appoint one or more persons to perform the
duties of the Chair of the Trustees in the event of his or her
absence at any meeting or in the event of his or her disability.
 The Chair of the Trustees shall also have the power to appoint
one or more persons to perform the duties of the Chair of the
Trustees in the event of his or her absence at any meeting.

      3.6  President.  Unless the Trustees otherwise provide by
vote or otherwise, the President shall be the principal
executive officer of the Trust.

      3.7  Treasurer.  Unless the Trustees otherwise provide by
vote or otherwise, the Treasurer shall be the principal
financial and accounting officer of the Trust, and shall,
subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and to any
arrangement made by the Trustees with a custodian, investment
adviser, subadviser or manager, or transfer, Shareholder
servicing or similar agent, be in charge of the valuable papers,
books of account and accounting records of the Trust, and shall
have such other duties and powers as may be designated from time
to time by the Trustees or by the principal executive officer of
the Trust.

      3.8  Clerk.  The Clerk shall record all proceedings of the
Shareholders and the Trustees in books to be kept therefor,
which books or a copy thereof shall be kept at the principal
office of the Trust.  In the absence of the Clerk from any
meeting of the Shareholders or Trustees (or a Committee
thereof), an Assistant Clerk, or if there be none or if he or
she is absent, a temporary Clerk chosen at such meeting by the
chair of such meeting, shall record the proceedings thereof in
the aforesaid books.

      3.9  Resignations and Removals.  Any Trustee or officer may
resign at any time by written instrument signed by him or her
and delivered to the Chair of the Trustees, the President or the
Clerk or to a meeting of the Trustees.  Such resignation shall
be effective upon receipt unless specified to be effective at
some other time.  The Trustees may remove any officer elected or
appointed by them with or without cause.  Except to the extent
expressly provided in a written agreement with the Trust, no
Trustee or officer resigning and no officer removed shall have
any right to any compensation for any period following his or
her resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account
of such removal.

ARTICLE 4
Committees

      4.1  Quorum; Voting.  Except as provided below or as
otherwise specifically provided in the votes or charter
constituting a Committee of the Trustees and providing for the
conduct of its meetings, a majority of the members of any
Committee of the Trustees shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business (which quorum once validly established
cannot be broken by Trustees withdrawing from the meeting), and
any action of such a Committee may be taken by a vote of a
majority of the members of such Committee (a) present at a
meeting of such Committee (a quorum being present), including
any meeting held by means of a conference telephone or other
communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same
time (participation by such means shall constitute presence in
person at a meeting), or (b) evidenced by one or more written
consents, including written consents submitted by mail, courier,
e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means.  Copies of such
written consents shall be filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of such Committee.  Such consents shall be treated
for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of such Committee.
 If in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of
Trust and these Bylaws any action is taken by written consents
of less than all of the Committees members, then prompt notice
of any such action shall be furnished to each member who did not
execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of
such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to
furnish such notice.  In the absence of any member of any such
Committee, the members thereof present at any properly called
meeting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may appoint a
member of the Trustees to act at that meeting only in the place
of any absent member.

	Except as specifically provided in the votes constituting a
Committee of the Trustees and providing for the conduct of its
meetings, Section 2.3 of these Bylaws relating to special
meetings shall govern the notice requirements for Committee
meetings.

	4.2  Authority of Trustees.  The Trustees have the power to
rescind any action of any Committee, but no such rescission
shall have retroactive effect unless determined so by the
Trustees.

ARTICLE 5
Reports

      5.1  General.  The Trustees and officers shall render
reports at the time and in the manner required by the
Declaration of Trust or any applicable law.  Officers and
Committees shall render such additional reports as they may deem
desirable or as may from time to time be required by the
Trustees.

ARTICLE 6
Fiscal Year

      6.1  General.  Except as from time to time otherwise
provided by the Trustees, the initial fiscal year of the Trust
shall end on such date as is determined in advance or in arrears
by the Treasurer, and subsequent fiscal years shall end on such
date in subsequent years.

ARTICLE 7
Seal

      7.1  General.  The seal of the Trust, if any, shall consist
of a flat-faced die with the word Massachusetts, together with
the name of the Trust and the year of its organization cut or
engraved thereon but, unless otherwise required by the Trustees,
the seal need not be placed on, and its absence shall not impair
the validity of, any document, instrument or other paper
executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Trust.

ARTICLE 8
Execution of Papers

      8.1  General.  Except as the Trustees may generally or in
particular cases authorize the execution thereof in some other
manner, all deeds, leases, contracts, notes and other
obligations made, accepted or endorsed by the Trust shall be
signed by the President, a Vice President or the Treasurer, and
need not bear the seal of the Trust.

ARTICLE 9
Issuance of Shares and Share Certificates

      9.1  Sale of Shares.  Except as otherwise determined by the
Trustees, the Trust will issue and sell for cash or securities
from time to time full and fractional Shares, such Shares to be
issued and sold at a price of not less than the par value per
share, if any, and not less than the net asset value per share
as from time to time determined in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Trustees and, in the case of fractional Shares,
at a proportionate reduction in such price.  In the case of
Shares sold for securities, such securities shall be valued in
accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees for
determining the value of the assets of the Trust.  The officers
of the Trust are severally authorized to take all such actions
as may be necessary or desirable to carry out this Section 9.1.

      9.2  Share Certificates.  In lieu of issuing certificates
for Shares, the Trustees or the transfer agent may either issue
receipts therefor or may keep accounts upon the books of the
Trust for the record holders of such Shares, who shall in either
case be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be the holders of
certificates for such Shares as if they had accepted such
certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and
agreed to the terms hereof.

      The Trustees may at any time authorize the issuance of
Share certificates.  In that event, each Shareholder shall be
entitled to a certificate stating the number of Shares owned by
him or her, in such form as shall be prescribed from time to
time by the Trustees.  Such certificate shall be signed by the
President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer.  Such signatures may be facsimile if the
certificate is signed by a transfer agent or by a registrar.  In
case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has
been placed on such certificate shall cease to be such officer
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Trust
with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the
time of its issue.

      9.3  Loss of Certificates.  The transfer agent of the
Trust, with the approval of any two officers of the Trust, is
authorized to issue and countersign replacement certificates for
the Shares of the Trust which have been lost, stolen or
destroyed upon (i) receipt of an affidavit or affidavits of loss
or non-receipt and of an indemnity agreement executed by the
registered holder or his or her legal representative and
supported by an open penalty surety bond, said agreement and
said bond in all cases to be in form and content satisfactory to
and approved by the President or the Treasurer, or (ii) receipt
of such other documents as may be approved by the Trustees.

      9.4  Issuance of New Certificate to Pledgee.  A pledgee of
Shares transferred as collateral security shall be entitled to a
new certificate if the instrument of transfer substantially
describes the debt or duty that is intended to be secured
thereby.  Such new certificate shall express on its face that it
is held as collateral security, and the name of the pledgor
shall be stated thereon, who alone shall be liable as a
Shareholder and entitled to vote thereon.

      9.5  Discontinuance of Issuance of Certificates.  The
Trustees may at any time discontinue the issuance of Share
certificates and may, by written notice to each Shareholder whom
the Trust believes to hold a Share certificate, require the
surrender of Share certificates to the Trust for cancellation.
Such surrender and cancellation shall not affect the ownership
of Shares in the Trust.

ARTICLE 10
Shareholders

      10.1  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the
Shareholders of the Trust shall be held on the last Friday in
April in each year or on such other day as may be fixed by the
Trustees.  The meeting shall be held at such time as the
Trustees may fix in the notice of the meeting or otherwise.
Purposes for which an annual meeting is to be held, additional
to those prescribed by law or these Bylaws, may be specified by
the Trustees.  Any previously scheduled annual meeting of
Shareholders may be postponed or cancelled by the Trustees upon
public notice given prior to the time previously scheduled for
such meeting, in accordance with these Bylaws.

      10.2  Adjournment.  Any meeting of Shareholders may, by
action of the chair of the meeting, be adjourned from time to
time without notice other than announcement at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken with respect to one or more
matters to be considered at such meeting to a designated date
which may be more than 120 days after the date initially set for
the meeting, time and place, whether or not a quorum is present
with respect to such matter.  Upon motion of the chair of the
meeting, the question of adjournment may be (but is not required
by these Bylaws to be) submitted to a vote of the Shareholders,
and in that case, any adjournment with respect to one or more
matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of
the Shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the
matter or matters adjourned and, if approved, such adjournment
shall take place without further notice other than announcement
at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  Unless a
proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any Shares present
and entitled to vote at a meeting, including any Shares that are
represented by broker non-votes, may, at the discretion of the
proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment.
 Any proposal for which sufficient favorable votes have been
received may (but need not) be acted upon and considered final
and effective regardless of whether the meeting is adjourned to
permit additional solicitation with respect to any other
proposal that is properly before the meeting.

      10.3  Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of the Shareholders
shall be presided over by the Chair of the Trustees, or, if the
Chair is not present at the meeting, then by a Trustee or
officer designated by the Chair or authorized by the Trustees,
or if there is no such person present at the meeting, then by
any officer of the Trust present at the meeting, and such person
shall be deemed for all purposes the chair of the meeting.  The
chair of the meeting shall have the right and authority to
prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all
such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are necessary,
appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting,
including, without limitation, establishing: an agenda or order
of business for the meeting; rules and procedures for
maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those
present; conditions on the recording of the meeting; limitations
on participation in such meeting to Shareholders of record of
the Trust and their duly authorized and constituted proxies, and
such other persons as the chair shall permit; restrictions on
entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement
thereof; limitations on the time allotted to questions or
comments by participants; conditions for the removal of any
Shareholder or any other person who refuses to comply with
meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the
chair of the meeting; and regulations for the opening and
closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be
voted on by ballot.  With the exception of proposals submitted
in accordance with, and otherwise meeting the requirements of,
Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any successor provisions, only matters proposed by
the Trustees may be included in the Trusts proxy materials.  At
all meetings of Shareholders, unless voting is conducted by
inspectors, all questions relating to the qualification of
voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or
rejection of votes shall be decided by the chair of the meeting.
 The chair of the meeting shall determine, in the chairs sole
discretion, whether to appoint an inspector for any meeting.
Unless otherwise determined by the chair of the meeting,
meetings shall not be required to be held in accordance with any
rules of parliamentary procedure.

      10.4  Record Dates.  For the purpose of determining the
Shareholders of any class or series of Shares of the Trust who
are entitled to vote or act at any meeting or any adjournment
thereof, or who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend
or of any other distribution, the Trustees (or their designees)
may from time to time fix a time, which shall be not more than
90 days before the date of any meeting of Shareholders or more
than 60 days before the date of payment of any dividend or of
any other distribution, as the record date for determining the
Shareholders of such class or series having the right to notice
of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof or
the right to receive such dividend or distribution, and in such
case only Shareholders of record on such record date shall have
such right notwithstanding any transfer of Shares on the books
of the Trust after the record date; or without fixing such
record date the Trustees may for any such purposes close the
register or transfer books for all or part of such period.

      10.5 Communications with Shareholders.  Any notices,
reports, statements or other communications with Shareholders of
any kind required under the Declaration of Trust, these Bylaws
or applicable law may be sent, delivered or made available in
any reasonable manner as may be determined by the Trustees or
officers if not otherwise prohibited by applicable law,
including, without limitation, by mail, courier, e-mail,
facsimile or other electronic means or by posting on a website;
and such communications may be sent, delivered or otherwise made
available to Shareholders in accordance with householding or
other similar rules under which a single copy of such notice or
report may be sent to Shareholders who reside at the same
address.  No communication need be given to any Shareholder who
shall have failed to inform the Trust of the Shareholders
current address and the Trustees may from time to time adopt, or
may authorize the officers or agents of the Trust to adopt,
procedures or policies with respect to communications to
Shareholders that are returned to the Trust or its agents as
undeliverable and similar matters.  Any Shareholder may waive
receipt of any notice or other communication.

      10.6 Proxies.  The placing of a Shareholders name on a
proxy pursuant to telephone or electronically transmitted
instructions (including instructions submitted via the Internet)
obtained pursuant to procedures reasonably designed to verify
that such instructions have been authorized by such Shareholder
shall constitute execution of such proxy by or on behalf of such
Shareholder.

ARTICLE 11

      11.1 Inspection of Books.  The Trustees shall from time to
time determine whether and to what extent, at what times and
places and under what conditions and regulations any of the
accounts and books of the Trust shall be open to the inspection
of the Shareholders, and no Shareholder shall have any right to
inspect any account or book or document of the Trust except as
conferred by law or otherwise by the Trustees or by these
Bylaws.

ARTICLE 12

      (4)  Publicly Announced or Disclosed.  For purposes
of this Section 12.1, a matter shall be deemed to have

      (1)  Shareholder Nominations and Proposals to Fix
the Number of Trustees.  Any Shareholder desiring to
nominate any person or persons (as the case may be)
for election as a Trustee or Trustees of the Trust
shall set forth in the Shareholders notice required by
this Section 12.1 as to each person, if any, whom the
Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-

election of Trustee or Trustees or a proposal to fix
the number of Trustees (which shall be subject to the
provisions of subparagraph (1) of paragraph (c) of
this Section 12.1) shall set forth in the Shareholders
notice required by this Section 12.1 (i) the exact
text of the proposal to be presented; (ii) a brief
written statement of the reasons why such Shareholder
favors the proposal; and (iii) a brief written
