            Section 1. Place of  Meeting.  All  meetings  of the  Shareholders
                       ------------------
(which terms as used herein  shall,  together  with all other terms defined in
the  Declaration  of Trust,  have the same  meaning as in the  Declaration  of
Trust)  shall be held at the  principal  office of the Trust or at such  other
place as may from  time to time be  designated  by the Board of  Trustees  and
stated in the notice of meeting.

            Section 2.  Shareholder  Meetings.  Shareholders'  meetings  shall
                        ----------------------
be  held  when  authorized  or  required  by  the  Declaration  at  the  times
designated  by the  Trustees and on such date as may be set by the Trustees as
set forth in the notice of meeting.

            A special  meeting of  Shareholders  of any one or more Series may
be called at any time by the  Chairman  of the Board or the  President  of the
Trust,  or by a majority of the Trustees.  Without  limiting the provisions of
Section 5.11 of the Declaration a special meeting of Shareholders  may also be
called at any time upon the written  request of a holder or the holders of not
less  than 25% of all of the  Shares  entitled  to be  voted at such  meeting,
provided that the  Shareholder or  Shareholders  requesting such meeting shall
have paid to the Trust the reasonably  estimated cost of preparing and mailing
the notice  thereof,  which the Secretary  shall determine and specify to such
Shareholder or Shareholders.

      Section 3.  Notice of Meetings of Shareholders. Written or printed
                  -----------------------------------
notice of every meeting of Shareholders, stating the time and place thereof
(and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted at any
special or extraordinary meeting), shall be given to each Shareholder
entitled to vote at such meeting by leaving the same with each Shareholder at
the Shareholder's residence or usual place of business or by mailing it,
postage prepaid and addressed to the Shareholder's address as it appears upon
the books of the Trust.   In lieu thereof, such notice also may be delivered
by such other means, for example electronic delivery, to the extent
consistent with applicable laws.

            No  notice  of the  time,  place  or  purpose  of any  meeting  of
Shareholders  need be given to any  Shareholder  who  attends  in person or by
proxy or to any  Shareholder  who,  in a writing  executed  and filed with the
records of the meeting,  either  before or after the holding  thereof,  waives
such notice.

      Section 4.  Record Dates.   The Board of Trustees may fix, in advance,
                  -------------
a record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at any meeting of Shareholders and Shareholders entitled to receive
any dividend payment or allotment of rights, as the case may be.  Only
Shareholders of record on such date and entitled to receive such dividends or
rights shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting or to
receive such dividends or rights, as the case may be.

            Section  5.  Access to  Shareholder  List.  The Board of  Trustees
                         ----------------------------
shall make available a list of the names and addresses of all  shareholders as
recorded  on the books of the Trust,  upon  receipt of the  request in writing
signed by not less than ten  Shareholders  (who have been  shareholders for at
least six months  prior to  submitting  such  request)  holding  Shares of the
Trust valued at $25,000 or more at current  offering  price (as defined in the
Trust's  Prospectus)  or  holding  not less than one  percent in amount of the
entire  number of shares of the Trust  issued and  outstanding,  whichever  is
less; such request must state that such  Shareholders wish to communicate with
other  Shareholders  with a view to obtaining  signatures to request a meeting
pursuant to Section 2 of Article II of these  By-Laws and must be  accompanied
by the form of  communication  requested to be sent to the  Shareholders.  The
Board of Trustees within 5 business days after receipt of such request,  shall
either  make  available  the  Shareholder  List  to such  Shareholders  at the
principal  offices of the Trust,  or at the  offices of the  Trust's  transfer
agent,  during regular  business hours,  or mail a copy of such  Shareholders'
proposed  communication and form of request, at such Shareholders' expense, to
all other Shareholders.

            Section  6.  Quorum,  Adjournment  of  Meetings.  A quorum for the
                         -----------------------------------
transaction  of business at any meeting of  Shareholders  shall consist of the
presence,  in person or by proxy, of Shareholders  entitled to cast a majority
of the shares which may be voted at such meeting  pursuant to Section 4 hereof
and Section 5.8 of the  Declaration.  If at any meeting of Shareholders  there
shall be less than a quorum present,  the Shareholders present at such meeting
may,  without  further  notice,  adjourn  the same from  time to time  until a
quorum  shall  attend,  but no  business  shall  be  transacted  at  any  such
adjourned  meeting except such as might have been lawfully  transacted had the
meeting not been adjourned.

            If a quorum is  present  but  sufficient  votes in favor of one or
more proposals have not been received,  any of the persons named as proxies or
attorneys-in-fact  may propose and  approve  one or more  adjournments  of the
meeting  to  permit  further  solicitation  of  proxies  with  respect  to any
proposal.  All  such  adjournments  will  require  the  affirmative  vote of a
majority  of the shares  present  in person or by proxy at the  session of the
meeting to be adjourned.  Prior to any such  adjournment,  any lawful business
may be transacted.

      Section 7.  Voting and Inspectors. At all meetings of shareholders,
                  ----------------------
every shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting shall be
entitled to vote at such meeting either in person or by proxy. Proxies may be
given by or on behalf of a Shareholder in writing or by electronic means,
including by telephone, facsimile or via the Internet.

       At all meetings of Shareholders, each Shareholder shall be entitled to
one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders or the vote
of the Shareholders of the affected Series for each share standing in his
name on the books of the Trust on the date, fixed for determination of
Shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting (except if the Board so
determines, for Shares redeemed prior to the meeting), and each such Series
shall vote as an individual class ("Individual Class Voting"); a Series shall
be deemed to be affected when a vote of the holders of that Series on a
matter is required by the 1940 Act; provided, however, that as to any matter
with respect to which a vote of Shareholders is required by the 1940 Act or
by any applicable law that must be complied with, such requirements as to a
vote by Shareholders shall apply in lieu of Individual Class Voting as
described above.  Any fractional Share shall carry proportionately all the
rights of a whole Share, including the right to vote and the right to receive
dividends.

            All  elections  of  Trustees  shall be had by a  plurality  of the
votes cast and all  questions  shall be  decided  by a  majority  of the votes
cast,  in  each  case  at a duly  constituted  meeting,  except  as  otherwise
provided  in the  Declaration  of  Trust or in these  By-Laws  or by  specific
statutory provision  superseding the restrictions and limitations contained in
the Declaration of Trust or in these By-Laws.

            At any election of Trustees,  the Board of Trustees  prior thereto
may, or, if they have not so acted,  the Chairman of the meeting may, and upon
the  request of the  holders of ten  percent  (10%) of the Shares  entitled to
vote at such  election  shall,  appoint two  inspectors  of election who shall
first  subscribe an oath or  affirmation  to execute  faithfully the duties of
inspectors  at such  election  with strict  impartiality  and according to the
best of their ability,  and shall after the election make a certificate of the
result of the vote  taken.  No  candidate  for the office of Trustee  shall be
appointed such Inspector.

            The  Chairman  of the  meeting  may  cause a vote by  ballot to be
taken  upon any  election  or  matter,  and such vote  shall be taken upon the
request of the holders of ten percent (10%) of the Shares  entitled to vote on
such election or matter.

            Section 8.  Conduct of  Shareholders'  Meetings.  The  meetings of
                        ------------------------------------
the  Shareholders or of the  Shareholders of any Series shall be presided over
by the  Chairman of the Board of  Trustees  or if he shall not be present,  by
the President, or if he shall not be present, by a Vice-President,  or if none
of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees,  the President or any Vice-President
is present,  by a chairman to be elected at the meeting.  The Secretary of the
Trust,  if  present,  shall  act as  Secretary  of  such  meetings,  or if the
Secretary is not present,  an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the
Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present,  than the meeting shall elect
its secretary.

            Section 9.  Concerning  Validity  of  Proxies,  Ballots,  Etc.  At
                        --------------------------------------------------
every meeting of the Shareholders,  all proxies shall be received and taken in
charge of and all ballots  shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of
the meeting,  who shall decide all  questions  touching the  qualification  of
voters,  the  validity of the  proxies,  and the  acceptance  or  rejection of
votes,  unless inspectors of election shall have been appointed as provided in
Section 7, in which event such  inspectors  of election  shall decide all such
questions.

herein,  hold  office  until the next  meeting  of  Shareholders  of the Trust
following  his election  called for the purpose of electing  Trustees or until

elect  Trustees  to fill the  vacancies  created by any such  increase  in the
number of Trustees  until the next meeting  called for the purpose of electing
Trustees or until their successors are duly elected and qualify;  the Board of
Trustees,  by the  vote  of a  majority  of the  entire  Board,  may  likewise
decrease  the number of  Trustees to a number not less than two but the tenure
of  office  of any  Trustee  shall  not be  affected  by  any  such  decrease.
Vacancies  occurring other than by reason of any such increase shall be filled
by a vote of a  majority  of the Board  then  sitting.  A Trustee  at any time
may be removed either with or without cause by resolution  duly adopted by the
affirmative  votes of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Shares of
the Trust,  present in person or by proxy at any  meeting of  Shareholders  at
which  such vote may be taken.  Any  Trustee  at any time may be  removed  for
cause by  resolution  duly  adopted at any  meeting  of the Board of  Trustees
provided  that notice  thereof is  contained in the notice of such meeting and
that such  resolution  is  adopted  by the vote of at least two  thirds of the
Trustees  whose  removal is not  proposed.  As used herein,  "for cause" shall
mean any cause which  under  Massachusetts  law would  permit the removal of a
Trustee of a business trust.

be specified or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

of Trustees,  if any, the President,  or two or more of the Trustees, by oral,
telegraphic  or  written  notice  duly  served  on or sent or  mailed  to each
Trustee not less than one day before such meeting.  No notice need be given to
any Trustee  who  attends in person or to any Trustee who in writing  executed
and filed with the records of the meeting  either  before or after the holding
thereof,  waives such  notice.  Such notice or waiver of notice need not state
the purpose or purposes of such meeting.

meeting at which  there is a quorum  shall be the act of the Board,  except as
may be  otherwise  specifically  provided by statute,  by the  Declaration  of
Trust or by these By-Laws.

            Section 7.  Executive  Committee.  The Board of  Trustees  may, by

Board  may  from  time  to time  determine.  The  Board  of  Trustees  by such
affirmative  vote shall  have power at any time to change the  members of such
Committee  and may  fill  vacancies  in the  Committee  by  election  from the
Trustees.  When  the  Board  of  Trustees  is not in  session,  the  Executive
Committee  shall have and may  exercise  any or all of the powers of the Board
of  Trustees  in the  management  of the  business  and  affairs  of the Trust
(including  the power to authorize  the seal of the Trust to be affixed to all
papers  which may  require  it) except as provided by law and except the power
to increase  or decrease  the size of, or fill  vacancies  on, the Board.  The

in every case the presence of a majority  shall be  necessary to  constitute a
quorum. In the absence of any member of the Executive  Committee,  the members
thereof present at any meeting,  whether or not they constitute a quorum,  may
appoint a member of the Board of  Trustees  to act in the place of such absent
member.

committees  which shall in each case  consist of such  number of members  (not
less than two) and shall have and may  exercise  such  powers as the Board may
determine  in the  resolution  appointing  them.  A majority of all members of
any such  committee may  determine  its action,  and fix the time and place of
its  meetings,  unless the Board of  Trustees  shall  otherwise  provide.  The
Board of  Trustees  shall  have power at any time to change  the  members  and
powers of any such  committee,  to fill  vacancies,  and to discharge any such
committee.

members of the Board,  or of such  committee,  as the case may be. Trustees or
members of a committee of the Board of Trustees may  participate  in a meeting
by means of a conference telephone or similar communications  equipment;  such

same effect as presence in person.

resolution of the Board as to each dividend or  distribution;  in lieu of such
specific  resolutions,  the Board may, by general  resolution,  determine  the
method of computation  thereof,  the method of determining the Shareholders of
the Series to which they are payable and the  methods of  determining  whether
and to  which  Shareholders  they  are to be paid  in  cash  or in  additional
Shares.

the Board of Trustees or the Executive  Committee.  Unless  otherwise  ordered

Executive Officer.
