designated by a majority of the Trustees.  In the event that such a meeting is
not held in any annual period if so required, whether the omission be by

of the Trustees and held in lieu of such meeting with the same effect as if held
within such annual period.  A Special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust

shareholders for a period of 30 days after written application of one or more
shareholders who hold at least 10% of all outstanding shares of the Trust, then
such shareholders may call such meeting.  Each call of a meeting shall state the
place, date, hour and purposes of the meeting.


      2.2   Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominees for Trustees and Other
            Shareholder Proposals.

      (a)  As used in this Section 2.2, the term "annual meeting" refers to any
annual meeting of shareholders as well as any special meeting held in lieu of an
annual meeting as described in the first two sentences of Section 2.1 of these
Bylaws, and the term "special meeting" refers to all meetings of shareholders
other than an annual meeting or a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting.

      (b)  The matters proposed by shareholders to be considered and brought
before any annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to only
such matters, including the nomination and election of Trustees, as shall be
brought properly before such meeting in compliance with the procedures set forth
in this Section 2.2.  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.2 shall be eligible for election as
Trustees, and no proposal to fix the number of Trustees shall be brought before
an annual or special meeting of shareholders or otherwise considered unless in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2.

      (c)  For any matter to be properly before any annual meeting, the matter
must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of a
majority of the Trustees pursuant to Section 2.4 of these Bylaws, or (ii)
brought before the meeting in the manner specified in this Section 2.2(c) by a
shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting or by a shareholder (a
"Beneficial Owner") that holds Shares entitled to vote at the meeting through a
nominee or "street name" holder of record and that can demonstrate to the Trust
such indirect ownership and such Beneficial Owner's entitlement to vote such
Shares, provided that the shareholder was the shareholder of record or the
Beneficial Owner held such Shares at the time the notice provided for in this
Section 2.2(c) is delivered to the secretary.

      In addition to any other requirements under applicable law and the
Declaration of Trust and these Bylaws, persons nominated by shareholders for
election as Trustees and any other proposals by shareholders may be properly
brought before an annual meeting only pursuant to timely notice (the
"Shareholder Notice") in writing to the secretary.  To be timely, the
Shareholder Notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal
executive offices of the Trust not less than forty-five (45) nor more than sixty
(60) days prior to the first anniversary date of the date on which the Trust
first sent its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting; provided,
however, with respect to the annual meetings to be held in the calendar years
2008 and 2009, the Shareholder Notice must be so delivered or mailed and so
received on or before March 18, 2008, and May 1, 2009, respectively; provided
further, however, if and only if the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held
within a period that commences thirty (30) days before the first anniversary
date of the annual meeting for the preceding year and ends thirty (30) days
after such anniversary date (an annual meeting date outside such period being
referred to herein as an "Other Annual Meeting Date"), such Shareholder Notice
must be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of
business on (i) the date forty-five (45) days prior to such Other Annual Meeting
Date or (ii) the tenth (10th) business day following the date such Other Annual
Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed.

      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 deliver, as
part of such Shareholder Notice:  (i) a statement in writing setting forth (A)
the name, age, date of birth, business address, residence address and
nationality of the person or persons to be nominated; (B) the number of all
Shares of the Trust owned of record or beneficially by each such person or
persons, as reported to such shareholder by such nominee(s); (C) any other
information regarding each such person required by paragraphs (a), (d), (e) and
(f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K or paragraph (b) of Item 22 of Rule 14a-101
(Schedule 14A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the
corresponding provisions of any regulation or rule subsequently adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agency applicable to the
Trust); (D) any other information regarding the person or persons to be
nominated that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other
filings required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for
election of Trustees or directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (E) whether such
shareholder believes any nominee is or will be an "interested person" of the
Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and, if not
an "interested person," information regarding each nominee that will be
sufficient for the Trust to make such determination; and (ii) the written and
signed consent of the person or persons to be nominated to be named as nominees
and to serve as Trustees if elected.  In addition, a majority of the Trustees
may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as they may
reasonably require or deem necessary to determine the eligibility of such
proposed nominee to serve as a Trustee.  Any Shareholder Notice required by this
Section 2.2(c) in respect of a proposal to fix the number of Trustees shall also
set forth a description of and the text of the proposal, which description and
text shall state a fixed number of Trustees that otherwise complies with
applicable law, these Bylaws and the Declaration of Trust.

      Without limiting the foregoing, any shareholder who gives a Shareholder
Notice of any matter proposed to be brought before a shareholder meeting
(whether or not involving nominees for Trustees) shall deliver, as part of such
Shareholder Notice:  (i) the description of and text of the proposal to be
presented; (ii) a brief written statement of the reasons why such shareholder
favors the proposal; (iii) such shareholder's name and address as they appear on
the Trust's books; (iv) any other information relating to the shareholder that
would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required
to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies with respect to the
matter(s) proposed pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder; (v) the number of all Shares of the Trust
owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder; (vi) any material interest
of such shareholder in the matter proposed (other than as a shareholder); (vii)
a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at
the shareholder meeting to act on the matter(s) proposed; (viii) if the proposal
involves nominee(s) for Trustees, a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the shareholder and each proposed nominee and any other
person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s)
are to be made by the shareholder; and (ix) in the case of a Beneficial Owner,
evidence establishing such Beneficial Owner's indirect ownership of, and
entitlement to vote, Shares at the meeting of shareholders.  As used in this
Section 2.2, Shares "beneficially owned" shall mean all Shares which such person
is deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the
Exchange Act.

      (d)  For any matter to be properly before any special meeting, the matter
must be specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of a
majority of the Trustees pursuant to Section 2.4 of these Bylaws.  In the event
the Trust calls a special meeting for the purpose of electing one or more
Trustees, any shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be)
for election to such position(s) as specified in the Trust's notice of meeting
if and only if the shareholder provides a notice containing the information
required in the Shareholder Notice to the secretary required with respect to
annual meetings by Section 2.2(c) hereof, and such notice is delivered to or
mailed and received at the principal executive office of the Trust not later
than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which
the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by a majority of
the Trustees to be elected at such meeting are publicly announced or disclosed.

      (e)  For purposes of this Section 2.2, a matter shall be deemed to have
been "publicly announced or disclosed" if such matter is disclosed in a press
release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable
national news service, in a document publicly filed by the Trust with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or in a Web site accessible to the public
maintained by the Trust or by its investment adviser or an affiliate of such
investment adviser with respect to the Trust.

      (f)  In no event shall an adjournment or postponement (or a public
announcement thereof) of a meeting of shareholders commence a new time period
(or extend any time period) for the giving of notice as provided in this Section
2.2.

      (g)  The person presiding at any meeting of shareholders, in addition to
making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the
meeting, shall have the power and duty to (i) determine whether a nomination or
proposal of other matters to be brought before a meeting and notice thereof have
been duly made and given in the manner provided in this Section 2.2 and
elsewhere in these Bylaws and the Declaration of Trust and (ii) if not so made
or given, to direct and declare at the meeting that such nomination and/or such
other matters shall be disregarded and shall not be considered.  Any
determination by the person presiding shall be binding on all parties absent
manifest error.

      (h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2 or
otherwise in these Bylaws, unless required by federal law, no matter shall be
considered at or brought before any annual or special meeting unless such matter
has been approved for these purposes by a majority of the Trustees and, in
particular, no Beneficial Owner shall have any rights as a shareholder except as
may be required by federal law.  Furthermore, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall
be construed as creating any implication or presumption as to the requirements
of federal law.

      2.3   Place of Meetings.  All meetings of the shareholders shall be held
at the principal office of the Trust, or, to the extent permitted by the
Declaration of Trust, at such other place within the country-regionplaceUnited
States as shall be designated by the Trustees or the president of the Trust.

      2.4   Notice of Meetings.  A written notice of each meeting of
shareholders, stating the place, date and hour and the purposes of the meeting,
shall be given at least seven days before the meeting to each shareholder
entitled to vote thereat by leaving such notice with him or at his residence or
usual place of business or by mailing it, postage prepaid, and addressed to such
shareholder at his address as it appears in the records of the Trust.  Such
notice shall be given by the secretary or an assistant secretary or by an
officer designated by the Trustees.  No notice of any meeting of shareholders
need be given to a shareholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or
after the meeting by such shareholder or his attorney thereunto duly authorized,
is filed with the records of the meeting.

      2.5   Ballots.  No ballot shall be required for any election unless
requested by a shareholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to
vote in the election.

      2.6   Proxies.  Shareholders entitled to vote may vote either in person or
by proxy in writing dated not more than six months before the meeting named
therein, which proxies shall be filed with the secretary or other person
responsible to record the proceedings of the meeting before being voted.  Unless
otherwise specifically limited by their terms, such proxies shall entitle the
holders thereof to vote at any adjournment of such meeting but shall not be
valid after the final adjournment of such meeting.  The placing of a
shareholder's name on a proxy pursuant to telephonic or electronically
transmitted instructions 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.

                               Section 3.  Trustees

      3.1   Committees and Advisory Board.  The Trustees may appoint from  their
number an executive committee and other committees.  Except as the Trustees  may

Trust.   Each  member  of  the advisory board shall hold office until the  first
meeting of the Trustees following the next meeting of the shareholders and until

removed,  or  becomes  disqualified,  or  until  the advisory  board  is  sooner
abolished by the Trustees.

      In addition, the Trustees may appoint a Dividend  Committee  of  not  less
than three persons, who may (but need not) be Trustees.

      3.2   Regular  Meetings.   Regular  meetings  of  the Trustees may be held

following any such determination shall be given to absent Trustees.

telephone at least twenty-four hours before the meeting.   Notice  of  a 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 prior thereto or  at
its commencement  the lack of notice to him or her.  Neither notice of a meeting
nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the meeting.

office shall constitute  a quorum; provided, however, a quorum shall not be less
than two.  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
