Shares may be issued for such consideration as the Trustees determine or, if issued as a result of a Share dividend or Share split, without any consideration, in which case all Shares so issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.”
SECOND: The amendment to the Declaration of Trust as set forth above has been duly advised by the board of trustees and approved by the shareholders of the Trust as required by law.
