7.     Shares of each class of each Series may vary between themselves as to rights of redemption and conversion rights, as may be approved by the Trustees and set out in each Series’ then-current prospectus.

8.     The Trustees shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reallocate assets and expenses or to change the designation of any Series or class thereof hitherto or hereafter created, or to otherwise change the special and relative rights of such Series or class, provided that such change shall not adversely affect the rights of the Shareholders of such Series or class.
