NOW THEREFORE, the By-Laws are hereby amended as follows: 1. ARTICLE VII, Sections 3, 4 and 6 are replaced in their entirety with the following: * * * * * * Section 3. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. No certificate or certificates for Shares shall be issued to Shareholders and no Shareholder shall have the right to demand or require that a certificate for Shares be issued to it. The Trust shall adopt and use a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares by electronic or other means. Section 4. LOST CERTIFICATES. No new certificate for Shares shall be issued to replace an old certificate that is surrendered to the Trust for cancellation. In case any Share certificate or certificate for any other security is lost, stolen, or destroyed, such certificate shall be cancelled and the ownership of an uncertificated Share shall be recorded upon the books of the Trust, on such terms and conditions as the Board may require, including a provision for indemnification of the Board and the Trust secured by a bond or other adequate security sufficient to protect the Trust and the Board against any claim that may be made against either, including any expense or liability on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate. * * * * * * Section 6. TRANSFERS OF SHARES. Shares are transferable, if authorized by the Declaration of Trust, only on the record books of the Trust by the Person in whose name such Shares are registered, or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact or representative. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of certificated Shares, and upon the surrender for cancellation of such certificates representing the number of Shares to be transferred with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Trust or its agents may reasonably require, the Trust shall cancel the old certificate and record the transaction and ownership of uncertificated Shares upon the books of the Trust. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated Shares, such uncertificated Shares shall be transferred on the record books to the Person entitled thereto. The Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agents may refuse any requested transfer of Shares, or request additional evidence of authority to safeguard the assets or interests of the Trust or of its Shareholders, in their sole discretion. In all cases of transfer by an attorney-in-fact, the original power of attorney, or an official copy thereof duly certified, shall be deposited and remain with the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agent. In case of transfers by executors, administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be presented to the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agent, and may be required to be deposited and remain with the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agent. Adopted and approved as of October 24, 2017 by the Board of Trustees. /s/ Steven J. Gray__________ (Signature) Steven J. Gray (Name) Assistant Secretary (Title)
