Dear Shareholder,

         Enclosed with this letter are materials related to the Annual Meeting
of Shareholders of your Fund which will be held on October 9th, 2008.

         I want to be certain you know that this year's annual shareholder
meeting includes matters that each shareowner must personally vote upon. That
means if you do not return your proxy, your vote will not be counted on certain
matters being considered at the meeting.

         Approval of one of the proposals being considered at this year's
meeting requires a vote by 66 2/3% of the Fund's shares -- a higher number
than required for routine proposals. Therefore, it is very important that you
take the time to review the enclosed materials and to promptly return the
proxy/voting form in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or follow the
instructions on your proxy card to vote by telephone or internet.

         Please keep in my mind that you will receive additional proxy material
from the Fund and/or phone calls from the proxy solicitor or other agents,
until you return your proxy. Those shareholders who promptly return their
proxy/voting form will NOT receive follow-up materials or calls; shareholders
who do not return their voting form WILL receive additional mailings and/or
phone calls.

         We apologize in advance for any inconvenience resulting from these
solicitation efforts. Nonetheless we must seek approval of our shareholders for
certain actions that your Trustees have recommended and we need your vote.

         You can help your fund by promptly returning your vote. Your action
will help to keep solicitation expenses to a minimum. If you have any questions
about this matter, please call 1-888-605-8354.

         Thank you for your continued support and prompt action.

                                               Sincerely,

                                               /s/ Robert J. Manning

ITEM 1 -- ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees, which oversees each Trust, provides broad supervision
over the affairs of each Trust. Those Trustees who are not "interested persons"
(as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"))
of your Trust or of MFS are referred to as "Independent Trustees" throughout
this Proxy Statement. MFS is responsible for the investment management of each
Trust's assets and for providing a variety of other administrative services to
each Trust. The officers of each Trust are responsible for its operations.

The Board has fixed the number of Trustees of each Trust at twelve. Under the
provisions of each Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trustees are divided into
three classes, each having a term of three years.


For each of MFS InterMarket Income Trust I and MFS Intermediate High Income
Trust, the Nominating and Compensation Committee has selected and nominated,
and recommended that the Board nominate, for election by shareholders J. Atwood
Ives, William R. Gutow, Michael Hegarty and Robert W. Uek as Trustees of the
class whose term will expire at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or
special meeting in lieu thereof) of such Trust, to hold office until his
successor is elected and qualified. Each nominee is presently a Trustee of MFS
InterMarket Income Trust I and MFS Intermediate High Income Trust and has
agreed to serve as a Trustee of each Trust if elected. The Board of Trustees
recommends that you vote in favor of their election.

For each of MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High Yield Municipal Trust and
MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust, the Nomination and Compensation Committee
has selected and nominated, and recommended that the Board nominate, for
election by holders of common shares and preferred shares, voting together as a
single class, William R. Gutow, Michael Hegarty and Robert W. Uek as Trustees
of the class whose term will expire at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
(or special meeting in lieu thereof) to hold office until his successor is
elected and qualified. The Nomination and Compensation Committee has also
selected and nominated, and recommended that the Board nominate, for election
by holders of preferred shares only, voting as a separate class, J. Atwood Ives
and Laurie J. Thomsen, for a term that will expire at the next annual meeting
of shareholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) of each Trust to hold
office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Board of
Trustees has nominated such individuals. Each nominee is presently a Trustee of
each of MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High Yield Municipal Trust and MFS
Investment Grade Municipal Trust and has agreed to serve as a Trustee of each
Trust if elected. The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote in favor of
their election.


It is intended that, absent contrary instructions, proxies will be voted in
favor of electing Messrs. Ives, Gutow, Hegarty and Uek and Ms. Thomsen. If,
before the Meeting, any nominee refuses or is unable to serve, or if any of the
nominees is unavailable at the time of the Meeting, and such refusal or
inability to serve or unavailability is not anticipated, the Trustees may vote
for other nominees at their discretion, or the Trustees may fix the number of
Trustees at fewer than twelve for a Trust. Under the terms of each Trust's
retirement policy, the Trustees have a mandatory retirement age of 73 years.

The following table presents certain information regarding the current Trustees
of each Trust, including their principal occupations, which, unless specific
dates are shown, are of more than five years duration, although the titles may
not have been the same throughout.

----------
(1) Number of meetings held during the period beginning June 30, 2007, the effective date of the investment
    advisory agreement between each Trust and MFS, through the Trusts' fiscal year end, November 30, 2007.
    Prior to June 30, 2007, each Trust was overseen by a different board.
(2) Information about each committee member is set forth above on pages 3, 4 and 5. Although Mr. Ives is not a
    member of all Committees of the Board, he is invited to and attends many of the Committees' meetings in his
    capacity as Chair of the Trustees.
(3) Audit Committee Financial Expert
  * Independent Trustees.



The Trustees generally hold at least eight regular meetings each calendar
year. These regular meetings take place over a two-day period. The performance
and  operations  of  each  of  the  Trusts is reviewed by the Trustees at each
meeting  and  more  in-depth reviews of particular Trusts are conducted by the
Trustees  throughout  the  year.  The current Board of the Trusts held 4 Board
meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. Each Trustee attended
at  least  75% of the Board and applicable committee meetings for which he/she
was eligible for each Trust.


AUDIT COMMITTEE

Each Trust's Audit Committee consists only of Independent Trustees each of whom
is also independent of the Trust as defined by New York Stock Exchange Listing
Standards. Each Trust's Audit Committee's report on the Trust's most recent
audited financials is included below under the heading "Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm". Each Trust's Board has adopted a written charter for
the Audit Committee. A copy of the Committee's charter is available on MFS.com.

NOMINATION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Trustees have adopted a written charter for the Nomination and Compensation
Committee. A copy of the Committee's charter is available on MFS.com.

Each Trust's Nomination and Compensation Committee consists only of Independent
Trustees each of whom is also independent of the Trust as defined by New York
Stock Exchange Listing Standards.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee requires that Trustee candidates have
a college degree or equivalent business experience, but has not otherwise
established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual
to be considered by the Committee for nomination as a Trustee. The Nomination
and Compensation Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in
considering Trustee candidates, including, but not limited to: (i) availability
and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her
responsibilities to the Board; (ii) relevant industry and related experience;
(iii) educational background; (iv) financial expertise; (v) an assessment of
the candidate's ability, judgment and expertise; (vi) overall diversity of the
composition of the Board; and (vii) such other factors as the Committee deems
appropriate. The Nomination and Compensation Committee may consider candidates
for Trustee recommended by each Trust's current Trustees, officers or
shareholders or by MFS or any other source deemed appropriate by the Nomination
and Compensation Committee. The Nomination and Compensation Committee may, but
is not required to, retain a third-party search firm at the applicable Trust's
expense to identify potential candidates.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee will review and consider nominees
recommended by shareholders to serve as Trustee, provided that the recommending
shareholder follows the Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee
Candidates, which are set forth as Appendix B to the Trusts' Nomination and
Compensation Committee Charter (which is available on MFS.com). Among other
requirements, these procedures provide that the recommending shareholder must
submit any recommendation in writing to the Trust, to the attention of the
Trust's Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the
Trust. Any recommendation must include certain biographical information and
other information regarding the candidate and the recommending shareholder, and
must include a written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a
nominee and to serve as a Trustee if elected. The foregoing description is only
a summary.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee has full discretion to reject
nominees recommended by shareholders, and there is no assurance that any such
person properly recommended and considered by the Committee will be nominated
for election to the Board of a Trust.

SHARE OWNERSHIP

As of August 4, 2008, the Trustees and officers of each Trust as a whole owned

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board of Trustees of each Trust has adopted procedures by which
shareholders may send communications to the Board. Shareholders may mail
written communications to the Board of Trustees, [Name of Trust], c/o
Massachusetts Financial Services Company, 500 Boylston Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02116, Attention: Frank Tarantino, Independent Chief Compliance
Officer. Shareholder communications must (i) be in writing and be signed by the
shareholder, (ii) identify the MFS Trust to which they relate and (iii)
identify the class and number of shares held by the shareholder. Each Trust's
Independent Chief Compliance Officer ("ICCO") is responsible for reviewing all
properly submitted shareholder communications. The ICCO shall either (i)
provide a copy of each properly submitted shareholder communication to the
Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting or (ii) if the ICCO determines
that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the
communication to the Chair of the Trustees promptly after receipt. The ICCO
may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be
provided to the Board because it is ministerial in nature (such as a request
for Trust literature, share data or financial information). The ICCO may in
such cases forward the communication to the appropriate party or parties at
MFS. These procedures do not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or
Trustee of the Trust, (ii) any communication from an employee or agent of the
Trust, unless such communication is made solely in such employee's or agent's
capacity as a shareholder or (iii) any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant
to Rule l4a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any
communication made in connection with such a proposal. Each Trust's Trustees
are not required to attend the Trust's shareholder meetings or to otherwise
make themselves available to shareholders for communications, other than
pursuant to the aforementioned procedures. No Board members attended the 2007
Annual Meeting of Shareholders.


Each Trust's Declaration of Trust currently provides that the Trust will
indemnify  its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred
in  connection  with litigation in which they may be involved because of their
offices  with  the  Trust,  unless  it is finally adjudicated or, in case of a
settlement,  it  has been determined by Trustees not involved in the matter or
independent  legal  counsel,  that  they  have  not acted in good faith in the
reasonable  belief  that their actions were in the best interests of the Trust
or  that  they  engaged  in willful misfeasance or acted with bad faith, gross
negligence  or  reckless  disregard  of  the duties involved in the conduct of
their offices.


TRUSTEE COMPENSATION TABLE
The table below shows the cash compensation paid to the Trustees by each Trust
for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. Interested Trustees receive no

----------

(1) For the period beginning June 30, 2007, the effective date of the investment advisory agreement
    between the Trust and MFS, through each Trust's fiscal year end. Prior to June 30, 2007, each
    Trust was overseen by a different board.

(2) For calendar year 2007. MFS Trustees receiving compensation from each Trust served as Trustee of
    98 funds within the MFS Fund Complex (having aggregate net assets at December 31, 2007 of
    approximately $106 billion).


ITEM 2 -- TO APPROVE AN AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLARATION OF TRUST

Each Trust, like other investment companies, is subject to comprehensive
federal laws and regulations (in particular to the 1940 Act) and to state laws.
The Trusts are subject to Massachusetts law because each Trust is a
Massachusetts business trust. Under Massachusetts law, a business trust
generally operates under an organizational document, usually called a
declaration of trust, which sets forth various provisions relating primarily to
the authority and governance of the business trust. Each Trust currently
operates under its own agreement and declaration of trust (each, a "Current
Declaration").

The Board recommends that shareholders of each Trust vote to approve an Amended
and Restated Declaration of Trust for their Trust (each a "Revised
Declaration"). In June 2007, each Trust became part of the MFS family of funds
and the Board believes that, in order to increase the efficiency of
administration of the Funds by MFS, it is in the best interests of shareholders
to conform the Current Declaration of each Fund to the form of declaration of
trust used for other closed-end funds advised by MFS.

Adoption of a Revised Declaration for each Trust will not alter any Trust's
current investments or investment policies.

A description of the material differences between each Current Declaration and
the form of proposed Revised Declaration is set forth in Schedule D.

If this Proposal 2 is approved by the shareholders of a Trust, the Revised
Declaration will become effective when a majority of the trustees of that Trust
has signed the Revised Declaration. Each Trust currently anticipates that, if
the requisite shareholder approvals are obtained, the Revised Declaration for
such Trust will become effective on November 1, 2008.

The foregoing discussion and the summary set forth in Schedule D hereto are
qualified in their entireties by reference to the form of Revised Declaration
which is attached hereto in Schedule E.


MFS intends to propose to the Trustees of each Trust that the bylaws of the
Trust be amended to conform them more closely to the bylaws of the other
closed-end funds advised by MFS. Unlike the Current Declarations, the proposed
form of Revised Declaration does not address quorum requirements for
shareholder meetings. MFS has advised the Board that the amended bylaws of the
Trusts will address quorum requirements for shareholder meetings. MFS has also
advised the Board that each Trust's quorum for shareholder meetings will not
change upon the adoption of amended by-laws.

REQUIRED VOTE AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION
For each of the MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS Investment Grade Municipal
Trust and MFS High Yield Municipal Trust, approval of a Revised Declaration for
each Trust requires the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the
common shares and preferred shares of each Trust entitled to vote, voting
together as a single class.

For each of MFS InterMarket Income Trust I and MFS Intermediate High Income
Fund, approval of a Revised Declaration for each Trust requires the affirmative
vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding common shares of such Trust
entitled to vote.


If the shareholders of a Trust fail to approve a Revised Declaration for such
Trust, the Trust's Current Declaration will remain in effect.


THE BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 2.


ITEM 3 -- TO AMEND OR REMOVE CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE
TRUSTS

Each Trust has certain investment restrictions or policies that are
"fundamental," meaning that as a matter of law they cannot be changed without
shareholder approval. Some of the fundamental polices adopted by the Trusts
reflect certain regulatory business or industry conditions applicable at the
time of the policies' adoption.

Each Trust's Board of Trustees, together with the Trust's officers and MFS,
have reviewed the Trust's current fundamental policies, and have concluded that
certain policies should be revised or eliminated based on the development of
new practices and changes in applicable law and to facilitate administration of
the Trust. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the revision
or elimination of these policies.

The revised policies maintain important investor protections while providing
flexibility to respond to changing markets, new investment opportunities and
changes in applicable law. In some cases, only technical changes are being
made. The Trustees believe that implementing the revised policies will
facilitate MFS's management of the Trusts' assets and simplify the process of
monitoring compliance with investment policies. The revised policies (with
variations required by the specific investment focus of a Trust) are the
standard form for other funds in the MFS fund complex.

The revised policies do not affect the investment objectives of the Trusts,
which remain unchanged. The Trusts will continue to be managed in accordance
with the investment polices described in their registration statements and
annual reports and in accordance with federal law. As described below, some of
the revised policies would give the Trusts increased ability to engage in
certain activities. The Trustees and MFS do not anticipate that the revised
policies, individually or in the aggregate, will change to a material degree
the level of investment risk associated with an investment in any Trust.

Each investment policy proposed to be revised or eliminated is discussed below.
The Trusts affected by the proposed changes are listed in italics at the
beginning of each section. In addition, Schedule C lists each Trust's current
fundamental investment policies and the proposed fundamental policies that will
apply to the Trust if shareholders of the Trust approve this proposal. Please
consult the proxy card included with this proxy statement to determine which
Trust you own.

A. BORROWING AND ISSUANCE OF SENIOR SECURITIES
Changes proposed for all Trusts
It is proposed that each Trust's policy concerning borrowing money and issuing
senior securities be changed so that the policy is consistent with that of
other funds within the MFS funds complex. MFS and the Trustees believe that the
technical changes being made to this policy will not result in any material
changes to the policy. The proposed policy reads as follows:

      The Trust may not:

      (a) borrow money except to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act and
      exemptive orders granted under such Act.

      (b) issue any senior securities except to the extent not prohibited by
      the 1940 Act and exemptive orders granted under such Act; for purposes of
      this restriction, collateral arrangements with respect to any type of
      swap, option, Forward Contracts and Futures Contracts and collateral
      arrangements with respect to initial and variation margin are not deemed
      to be the issuance of a senior security;

Both the current and proposed policies allow the Trusts to borrow money and
issue senior securities in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the "1940 Act"). In addition, the proposed policy would allow the Trusts to
borrow money and issue senior securities in accordance with any exemptive
orders granted to the Trusts by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Further, the revised policy would specifically state that collateral
arrangements with respect to swaps, options, futures, forwards, and variation
margin are not deemed to be the issuance of a senior security. This does not
represent a change in how MFS currently views these collateral arrangements,
but will ensure that the current practice is clearly described in a manner
consistent with that of the other MFS funds.

B. UNDERWRITING SECURITIES
Changes proposed for all Trusts
It is proposed that each Trust's policy concerning underwriting securities be
changed so that the policy is consistent with that of other funds within the
MFS funds complex. The proposed policy reads as follows:

      The Trust may not:

      underwrite securities issued by other persons, except that all or any
      portion of the assets of the Trust may be invested in one or more
      investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act and
      exemptive orders granted under such Act, and except insofar as the Trust
      may technically be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of
      1933, as amended, in selling a portfolio security.


Both the current and proposed policies allow the Trusts to underwrite
securities to the extent that the Trusts are deemed to be underwriters in
connection with the sales of portfolio securities held by the Trusts. In
addition, the proposed policy provides that all or any portion of the assets of
a Trust may be invested in one or more investment companies, to the extent not
prohibited by the 1940 Act and exemptive orders granted under such Act. Under
the Trusts' proposed Declarations of Trust (see proposal in Item 2), the
Trustees have the power to implement a master/feeder, fund of funds or other
similar structure without seeking shareholder approval. While the Trustees have
no current intention of implementing a master/feeder, fund of funds or other
similar structure at this time, the proposed policy would specifically permit
the use of these structures were the Trustees to determine that their
implementation would be in the best interest of a Trust at a future date.


C. LENDING OF MONEY OR SECURITIES
Changes proposed for all Trusts
It is proposed that each Trust's policy concerning lending money or securities
be changed so that the policy is consistent with that of other funds within the
MFS funds complex. The proposed policy reads as follows:

      The Trust may not:

      make loans except to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act and
      exemptive orders granted under such Act.

Both the current and proposed policies allow the Trusts to lend securities and
to make loans through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of
indebtedness typically sold to financial institutions (e.g., money market
instruments, loans, or other direct indebtedness) and through repurchase
agreements.

The proposed policy also would permit the Trusts to make any other types of
loans, whether of money or securities, so long as the transactions are
permitted by the 1940 Act or an exemptive order granted to the Trusts by the
SEC. MFS has no current intention to cause the Trust to make loans other than
as permitted under the Trust's current policy, as described above. Any changes
to a Trust's strategy that would result in it making loans in addition to those
currently permitted would be subject to approval by the Trustees and, in the
case of certain types of loans (e.g., loans to other funds advised by MFS),
receipt of an exemptive order from the SEC.

D. INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION
Changes proposed for all Trusts
It is proposed that each Trust's policy concerning industry concentration be
changed so that the policy is consistent with that of other funds within the
MFS funds complex. MFS and the Trustees believe that the technical changes
being made to this policy will not result in any material changes to the
policy. The proposed policy reads as follows:

      The Trust may not:

      purchase any securities of an issuer in a particular industry if as a
      result 25% or more of its total assets (taken at market value at the time
      of purchase) would be invested in securities of issuers whose principal
      business activities are in the same industry.

The 1940 Act limits an investment company's ability to concentrate its
investments in securities of any particular industry. The staff of the SEC
takes the position that a mutual fund "concentrates" its investments in a
particular industry if, in general, more than 25% of the fund's assets are
invested in the securities of issuers in that industry.

Both the current and proposed policies do not allow the Trusts to concentrate
more than 25% of their total assets in investments in a single industry. For
MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High Yield Municipal Trust, and MFS
Investment Grade Municipal Trust, the current policy specifically states that
certain related industries within the utilities category (e.g., gas, electric,
water and telephone) are treated as separate industries. The Trustees and MFS
do not believe that it is necessary to specifically state that these industries
should be treated as separate industries and have proposed that this provision
be removed. For MFS Intermarket Income Trust I, the current policy specifically
excludes U.S. Government obligations. Based on interpretations by the SEC, MFS
does not consider an investment in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government to be an investment in any particular industry. As such, the
Trustees and MFS do not believe it is necessary to specifically exclude
investments in U.S. Government obligations from the Trusts' proposed policy and
have proposed that this provision be removed. The Trustees and MFS do not
believe that these changes represent material changes to the current policies
for these Trusts.

E. REAL ESTATE, COMMODITIES, FUTURES, OPTIONS, FORWARD CONTRACTS
Changes proposed for all Trusts
It is proposed that each Fund's policy concerning real estate and, in the case
of some of the Trusts, commodities and commodity contracts, futures, forwards,
and related options be changed so that the policy is substantially consistent
with that of other funds within the MFS funds complex. The proposed policy
reads as follows:

      The Trust may not:

      purchase or sell real estate (excluding securities secured by real estate
      or interests therein and securities of companies, such as real estate
      investments trusts, which deal in real estate or interests therein),
      interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or commodity
      contracts (excluding currencies and any type of option, Futures Contracts
      and Forward Contracts or other derivative instruments whose value is
      related to commodities or other commodity contracts) in the ordinary
      course of its business; the Trust reserves the freedom of action to hold
      and to sell real estate, mineral leases, commodities or commodity
      contracts (including currencies and any type of option, Futures Contracts
      and Forward Contracts) acquired as a result of the ownership of
      securities.

The proposed policy provides that each Trust may not purchase or sell real
estate, interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, or commodities or commodity
contracts in the ordinary course of its business. Under the proposed policy,
each Trust will be able to invest in securities secured by real estate and
securities of companies that deal in real estate and or interests therein
(e.g., real estate investment trusts), currencies, and any type of option,
futures contracts, forwards, and other derivative instruments whose value is
related to commodities or other commodity contracts. While some of these
clarifications are included in the current policies for some Trusts, the
revised policy will apply to each Trust on a consistent basis.

In addition, both the current policy and the proposed policy allow the Trusts
to hold and sell real estate acquired as a result of a Trust's ownership of
securities. The proposed policy has a similar provision with respect to
commodities and oil, gas and mineral leases, which allows the Trusts to hold
and sell commodities or commodity contracts and oil, gas and mineral leases
acquired as a result of a Trust's ownership of securities.

The Trustees and MFS believe that the revised policy will simplify the process
of monitoring compliance. While the revised policy does have material changes
from the current policy - both in terms of specifically precluding certain
types of investments and specifically providing flexibility to make other types
of investment - the changes do not affect the Funds' current investment
objectives or strategies. MFS has informed the Trustees that is does not intend
to change the way it manages the Trusts as a result of the changes to the
policy, and the Trustees and MFS do not anticipate that the revised policy will
materially change the level of investment risk associated with an investment in
any of the Funds.

F. INVESTMENTS IN A SINGLE ISSUER -- REMOVAL OF POLICY
Removal of policy proposed for all Trusts
It is proposed that each Trust's policy concerning investments in a single
issuer be removed. Currently, each Trust, with respect to 75% of its total
assets, is prohibited from purchasing securities of any issuer if, as a result,
more than 5% of its assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer.
Investments in U.S. Government obligations and cash items are not subject to
this limitation. Each Trust also is prohibited, with respect to 75% of its
total assets, from purchasing the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the
Fund would hold more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

Each of the Trusts is classified as "diversified" under the 1940 Act, which
means that each such Trust is subject to statutory restrictions containing the
same limitations as the Trust's current fundamental policy. In addition, each
Trust is subject to diversification tests under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). The investment restrictions contained in the
1940 Act and the Code need not be fundamental policies and, as such, the
Trustees believe it is appropriate to remove these policies.

Should a Trust desire to become non-diversified in the future, the Trust would
need to obtain a shareholder vote approving its reclassification from
diversified to non-diversified. Until a Fund receives such a shareholder vote,
the Trust must continue to comply with the diversification requirements of the
1940 Act. MFS has no current intention to propose that these Trusts be changed
from "diversified" funds to non-diversified funds.

To the extent that a Trust invests its assets in a small number of issuers, the
Trust is more susceptible to any single economic, political or regulatory event
affecting those issuers.

REQUIRED VOTE
Approval of this matter will require the vote of

IS  IN  THE  BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU

ITEM 4 -- PROPOSAL TO MAKE NON-FUNDAMENTAL AN INVESTMENT POLICY OF MFS
INTERMARKET INCOME TRUST I


MFS Intermarket Income Trust I ("CMK") currently has a fundamental investment
policy that requires CMK to invest at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. and
foreign government securities and high income debt instruments. Any change to
this policy requires shareholder approval. Your Trustees have approved, and are
recommending that shareholders approve, a proposal to make this a "non-
fundamental" investment policy that could be revised in the future by the
Trustees without the requirement of a shareholder vote. If the proposal is
approved by shareholders, the Trustees intend to revise the policy at MFS'
recommendation to permit CMK to invest more flexibly among its principal
investment types which MFS believes will offer better diversification of income
producing securities. CMK's investment objective and other investment policies
will not be affected.


The current investment policy is fundamental and is stated as follows:

      MFS normally invests at least 80% of the Fund's net assets in U.S. and
      foreign government securities, and high income debt instruments.

If this proposal is approved by shareholders (thereby making the policy non-
fundamental), the Trustees intend to revise the policy, at MFS' recommendation,
to be stated as follows:

      MFS normally invests the fund's assets in U.S. Government securities,
      foreign government securities, mortgage backed and other asset-backed
      securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, corporate bonds of U.S. and
      foreign issuers, and debt instruments of issuers located in emerging
      market countries. MFS allocates the fund's assets across these categories
      with a view toward broad diversification across and within these
      categories.

MFS believes that the proposed revised investment policy would allow CMK's
portfolio managers greater flexibility in pursuing the Fund's investment
objective by making available a broader array of income producing securities.
MFS believes that, over time, this flexibility has the potential to better
serve shareholder interests. MFS does not anticipate that the proposed revised
investment policy would materially change the level of investment risk
associated with an investment in CMK. Making the policy non-fundamental would
also give the Trustees the flexibility to further revise the policy without the
time and expense associated with additional proxy solicitations, although the
Trustees have no current intention to do so.


REQUIRED VOTE
Approval of this matter will require the vote of (i) 67% or more of the common
shares of CMK present at CMK's Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding common shares of CMK are present or represented by proxy or (ii)
more than 50% of the outstanding common shares of CMK, whichever is less.


THE BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, HAS CONCLUDED THAT PROPOSAL 4 IS
IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF CMK VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 4.

Prior to June 30, 2007, each Trust's Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm was PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PWC").


No Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has a direct or material
indirect interest in a Trust.

Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Meeting and
will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. Such
representatives also are expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Trust issued the following
report concerning the financial statements for each Trust's most recent fiscal
year.

      The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial
      statements with Trust management. The Audit Committee also discussed with
      the Auditor the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification
      of Statements on Auditing Standards). The Audit Committee received the
      written disclosures and the letter from the Auditor required by
      Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions
      with Audit Committees), and discussed with the Auditor its independence.

      Based on this review and the review of other information and these and
      other discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of
      Trustees that the audited financial statements be included in the Trust's
      annual report to shareholders for the Trust's 2007 fiscal year for filing
      with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      Respectfully submitted for MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High
      Yield Municipal Trust, MFS InterMarket Income Trust I, MFS Intermediate
      High Income Fund, and MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust, by the Audit
      Committee as of January 22, 2008.

To the extent required by applicable regulations, pre-approval by the Audit
Committee of the Board is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit
services rendered by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to each
Trust and all permissible non-audit services rendered by the Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm to MFS and any entity controlling, controlled
by or under common control with MFS that provides ongoing services to a Trust
(including MFS Service Center, Inc.) (each, a "MFS Service Affiliate") if the
services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of such
Trust. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by- engagement basis. In the
event pre-approval of such services is necessary between regular meetings of
the Audit Committee and it is not practical to wait to seek pre-approval at the
next regular meeting of the Audit Committee, pre-approval of such services may
be referred to the Chair of the Audit Committee; provided that the Chair may
not pre-approve any individual engagement for such services exceeding $50,000
or multiple engagements for such services in the aggregate exceeding $100,000
between such regular meetings of the Audit Committee. Any engagement
pre-approved by the Chair between regular meetings of the Audit Committee shall
be presented for ratification by the entire Audit Committee at its next
regularly scheduled meeting.

Schedule A attached hereto includes tables that set forth for each Trust's two
most recent fiscal years, the fees billed by Ernst & Young and PWC, as
applicable, for (a) all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the
Trust and (b) those non-audit services provided to MFS Service Affiliates that
relate directly to the Trust's operations and financial reporting after June
30, 2007, as well as those non-audit services provided to Columbia Management
Advisors, LLC ("Columbia") and to any entity controlling, controlled by or
under common control with Columbia that provided services to each Trust
("Columbia Service Affiliates") prior to June 30, 2007, under the following
captions:


    (i)   Audit Fees - fees related to the audit and review of the financial
          statements included in annual reports and registration statements,
          and other services that are normally provided in connection with
          statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

    (ii)  Audit-Related Fees - fees related to assurance and related services
          that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review
          of financial statements, but not reported under "Audit Fees",
          including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports
          (inclusive of annual review of basic maintenance testing associated
          with the Preferred Shares), attestation reports, comfort letters and
          internal control reviews.

    (iii) Tax Fees - fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax
          planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of
          federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment
          company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis
          reviews.

    (iv)  All Other Fees - fees for products and services provided to a Trust
          by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm other than those
          reported under "Audit Fees", "Audit- Related Fees" and "Tax Fees."


Schedule A attached hereto also sets forth the aggregate fees billed by Ernst &
Young and PWC, as applicable, for each Trust's two most recent fiscal years for
non-audit services rendered to each Trust, MFS Service Affiliates and Columbia
Service Affiliates.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by Ernst & Young of
non-audit services to MFS Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved by the
Audit Committee because such services did not relate directly to the operations
and financial reporting of the Trust was compatible with maintaining the
independence of Ernst & Young as the Trust's principal auditor.

----------
(1) Directorships or trusteeships of companies required to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission
    (i.e., "public companies").
(2) "Interested person" of the Trust within the meaning of the 1940 Act, as a result of position with MFS. The
    address of MFS is 500 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116.


Each Trust's officers hold comparable positions with the 98 funds in the MFS
Family of Funds as of December 31, 2007, and with certain affiliates of MFS.
The address of each officer is MFS, 500 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02116.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS
Schedule B attached hereto sets forth, as of August 4, 2008, to the best
knowledge of each Trust, the shareholders who beneficially owned more than 5%
of the outstanding shares of any class of such Trust.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Trustees,
directors and certain officers of each Trust and MFS, and persons who own more
than ten percent of any class of a Trust's shares, to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Such
persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish each Trust with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file in relation to that Trust.

Based solely on a review of the copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments
thereto furnished to each Trust with respect to its most recent fiscal year for
Trustees, directors and certain officers of each Trust and MFS and greater than
ten percent beneficial owners, each Trust believes all Section 16(a)
transactions were reported on a timely basis. No individuals reported any
transactions.

LITIGATION
Since December 2003, MFS, MFS Fund Distributors, Inc., MFS Service Center,
Inc., Sun Life Financial Inc., various MFS funds, certain current and/or former
Trustees of these MFS funds, and certain officers of MFS have been named as
defendants in multiple lawsuits filed in federal and state courts. The various
lawsuits that are still pending generally allege that some or all of the
defendants permitted or acquiesced in market timing and/or late trading in some
of the MFS funds, and inadequately disclosed MFS' internal policies concerning
market timing and such matters. The pending lawsuits assert that some or all of
the defendants violated the federal securities laws, including the Securities
Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as well as fiduciary duties
and other violations of common law. The pending lawsuits variously have been
commenced as class actions or individual actions on behalf of investors who
purchased, held or redeemed shares of the MFS funds during specified periods,
or as derivative actions on behalf of the MFS funds.

The lawsuits relating to market timing and related matters have been
transferred to, and consolidated before, the United States District Court for
the District of Maryland, as part of a multi-district litigation of market
timing and related claims involving several other fund complexes (In re Mutual
Funds Investment Litigation (Alger, Columbia, Janus, MFS, One Group, Putnam,
Allianz Dresdner), No. 1:04-md-15863 (transfer began March 19, 2004)). The
pending market timing cases related to the MFS funds include Riggs v. MFS et
al., Case No. 04-CV-01162-JFM (consolidated class action complaint filed
September 30, 2004), Hammerslough v. MFS et al., Case No. 04-MD-01620
(consolidated derivative complaint filed September 30, 2004), and Reaves v. MFS
Series Trust I, et al., Case No. 1:05-CV-02220-JFM (complaint related to Class
B shares filed March 21, 2005). The plaintiffs in these consolidated lawsuits
generally seek injunctive relief including removal of the named Trustees,
adviser and distributor, rescission of contracts and 12b-1 Plans, disgorgement
of fees and profits, monetary damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees and
costs and other equitable and declaratory relief. Insofar as any of the actions
is appropriately brought derivatively on behalf of any of the MFS funds, any
recovery will inure to the benefit of the MFS funds. Several claims of the
various lawsuits have been dismissed; MFS and other named defendants continue
to defend the various lawsuits.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE MEETING

MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES
All proxies received by management will be voted on all matters presented at
the Meeting, and if not limited to the contrary, will be voted FOR the election
of J. Atwood Ives, William R. Gutow, Michael Hegarty, Robert W. Uek and Laurie
J. Thomsen, as Trustees of each Trust (if still available for election) and FOR
Proposals 2, 3, and 4.


All proxies received, including proxies that reflect (i) broker non-votes
(i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (a) instructions have not
been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote, and
(b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a
particular matter), (ii) abstentions or (iii) in the case of Proposal 1, the
withholding of authority to vote for a nominee for election as Trustee, will be
counted as shares that are present on a particular matter for purposes of
determining the presence of a quorum for that matter. A majority of the
outstanding shares of MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS Intermarket Income
Trust I, MFS Intermediate High Income Trust and MFS Investment Grade Municipal
Trust entitled to vote at the Meeting that are present in person or represented
by proxy constitutes a quorum and thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding
shares of MFS High Yield Municipal Trust, entitled to vote at the Meeting that
are present in person or represented by proxy constitutes a quorum. With
respect to the election of Mr. Ives and Ms. Thomsen as Trustees of MFS High
Income Municipal Trust and MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust, a quorum also
requires a majority of that Trust's outstanding preferred shares entitled to
vote at the Meeting present in person or represented by proxy, voting as a
separate class, and with respect to the election of Mr. Ives and Ms. Thomsen as
Trustees of MFS High Yield Municipal Trust, a quorum also requires thirty
percent 30% of that Trust's outstanding preferred shares entitled to vote at
the Meeting in person or be represented by proxy, voting as a separate class.
With respect to the election of Trustees, neither broker non-votes nor
abstentions nor withholding authority to vote have any effect on the outcome of
the voting. With respect to Proposals 2, 3 and 4, broker non- votes,
abstentions and withholding authority to vote will each have the effect of a
vote AGAINST each such proposal.


Each shareholder of a Trust is entitled to one vote for each share of the Trust
that such shareholder owns at the close of business on August 4, 2008, on each
matter on which the shareholder is entitled to vote. Each fractional share is
entitled to a proportionate fractional vote.

Each Trust will reimburse the record holders of its shares for their reasonable
expenses incurred in sending proxy material to and obtaining voting
instructions from beneficial owners.

Each Trust knows of no other matters to be brought before the Meeting. If,
however, because of any unexpected occurrence, any nominee is not available for
election or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is each
Trust's intention that proxies not limited to the contrary will be voted in
accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed form of
proxy.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOTING PROXIES
The giving of a proxy will not affect a shareholder's right to vote in person
should the shareholder decide to attend the Meeting. To vote by mail, please
mark, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card following the instructions
printed on the card. Please refer to your proxy card for instructions for
voting by telephone or internet.

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals of shareholders which are intended to be presented at the 2009 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Trust on or prior to April 23,
2009. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy
materials does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals
are subject to certain requirements under the federal securities laws.

A shareholder who wishes to make a proposal at the 2009 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders without including the proposal in the Trust's proxy statement must
ensure that the proposal is received by the Trust in good order and in
compliance with all applicable legal requirements and requirements set forth in
the Trust's By-Laws and Declaration of Trust by May 1, 2009 at the Trust's
principal office at 500 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. The
persons named as proxies for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will have
discretionary authority to vote on all matters presented at the meeting
consistent with the SEC's proxy rules.

ADJOURNMENT
In the absence of a quorum at the Meeting, or (even if a quorum is so present)
if sufficient votes in favor of a proposal set forth in the Notice of Annual
Meeting are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons
named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting after the
date set forth for the original Meeting, with no other notice than announcement
at the Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to such
proposal. In addition, if, in the judgment of the persons named as proxies, it
is advisable to defer action on a proposal, the persons named as proxies may
propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting with respect to such proposal.
Any adjournment(s) with respect to a proposal will require the affirmative vote
of a majority of the Shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present in
person or represented by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned.
The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those
proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the proposal in question.
They will vote against any such adjournment those proxies required to be voted
against such proposal. The costs of any additional solicitation and of any
adjourned session will be borne by the Fund. Any proposals for which sufficient
favorable votes have been received by the time of the Meeting may be acted upon
and, if so, such action will be final regardless of whether the Meeting is
adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal.
At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
called.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Meeting of shareholders of each Trust is called to be held at the same time
as the Meetings of shareholders of each of the other Trusts. It is anticipated
that all Meetings will be held simultaneously.

If any shareholder at the Meeting objects to the holding of a simultaneous
Meeting and moves for an adjournment of the Meeting to a time promptly after
the simultaneous Meetings, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of
such adjournment.

The expense of the preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed form of
proxy, the Notice and this Proxy Statement, and any tabulation costs, will be
borne on a proportional basis by the Trusts.

Only one copy of this Proxy Statement may be mailed to a household, even if
more than one person in a household is a Trust shareholder of record, unless
the Trust has received contrary instructions from one or more of the
shareholders in such household. If you need additional copies of this Proxy
Statement and you are the holder of record of your shares, please contact
Computershare at 1-800-637-2304. If your shares are held in broker street name
please contact your financial intermediary to obtain additional copies of this
Proxy Statement. If in the future you do not want the mailing of proxy
statements to be combined with those for other members of your household or if
you are receiving multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and do want the
mailings to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact
Computershare, in writing, at 250 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts, 02021,
or by telephone at 1-800-637-2304, or contact your financial intermediary.

    Section 2.1. Number of Trustees. Subject to the voting powers of one or
more Classes or Series of Shares as set forth in the Declaration, and in the
By-Laws or in any Statement, the number of Trustees shall be such number as
shall be fixed from time to time by a majority of the Trustees, provided,
however, that the number of Trustees shall in no event be less than three (3)
nor more than fifteen (15). No reduction in the number of Trustees shall have
the effect of removing any Trustee from office prior to the expiration of his
or her term unless the Trustee is specifically removed pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof at the time of the decrease.

    Section 2.2. Term of Office of Trustees. The Board of Trustees shall be
divided into three classes. Within the limits above specified, the number of
Trustees in each class shall be determined by resolution of the Board of
Trustees. The term of office of the first class shall expire on the date of the
first annual meeting of Shareholders or special meeting in lieu thereof
following January 1, 2008. The term of office of the second class shall expire
on the date of the second annual meeting of Shareholders or special meeting in
lieu thereof. The term of office of the third class shall expire on the date of
the third annual meeting of Shareholders or special meeting in lieu thereof.
Upon expiration of the term of office of each class as set forth above, the
number of Trustees in such class, as determined by the Board of Trustees, shall
be elected for a term expiring on the date of the third annual meeting of
Shareholders or special meeting in lieu thereof following such expiration to
succeed the Trustees whose terms of office expire. The Trustees shall be
elected at an annual meeting of the Shareholders or special meeting in lieu
thereof called for that purpose, except as provided in Section 2.3 hereof;
provided, however, if so provided in the By-Laws or in any Statement relating
to a Class or Classes of Shares and any Series thereof designated by the
Trustees pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, such Class or Classes of Shares,
voting as a Class at an annual meeting of the Shareholders or special meeting
in lieu thereof called for such purpose, may elect at least two (2) Trustees at
all times, and, provided, further, that under the conditions enumerated in such
By-Laws or Statement, such Class or Classes of Shares voting as a Class shall
be entitled to elect at least a majority of the Trustees pursuant to the
designations and powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of such Class or Classes of Shares as determined
in accordance with the By-Laws or the Statement relating to such Class or
Classes of Shares.

                                             3


    Each Trustee shall hold office until the earlier of his or her death or the
election and qualification of his or her successor; except that:

        (a) any Trustee may resign his or her trust (without need for prior or
    subsequent accounting) by an instrument in writing signed by that Trustee
    and delivered to the Trust, which shall take effect upon such delivery or
    upon such later date as is specified therein;

        (b) any Trustee may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by
    written instrument signed by at least three-quarters of the Trustees,
    specifying the date when such removal shall become effective;

        (c) any Trustee who has attained a mandatory retirement age established
    pursuant to any written policy adopted from time to time by at least
    two-thirds of the Trustees shall, automatically and without action of such
    Trustee or the remaining Trustees, be deemed to have retired in accordance
    with the terms of such policy, effective as of the date determined in
    accordance with such policy; and

        (d) subject to the voting powers of one or more Classes or Series of
    Shares as set forth in this Declaration, and in the By-Laws or in any
    Statement, a Trustee may be removed at any meeting of Shareholders by a
    vote of Shares representing a majority of the outstanding Shares of the
    Classes or Series entitled to vote for the election of such Trustee.

    Upon the resignation, retirement or removal of a Trustee, or his or her
otherwise ceasing to be a Trustee, that individual shall execute and deliver
such documents as the remaining Trustees shall require for the purpose of
conveying to the Trust or the remaining Trustees any Trust Property held in the
name of the resigning, retiring or removed Trustee. Upon the incapacity or
death of any Trustee, that Trustee's legal representative shall execute and
deliver on his or her behalf such documents as the remaining Trustees shall
require as provided in the preceding sentence.

    Except to the extent expressly provided in a written agreement to which the
Trust is a party or in a written policy adopted by the Trustees, no resigning
or removed Trustee shall have any right to any compensation for any period
following his or her resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account
of such removal.

    Section 2.3. Resignation and Appointment of Trustees. In case of the
declination, death, resignation, retirement or removal of any of the Trustees,
or in case a vacancy shall, by reason of an increase in number of Trustees, or
for any other reason, exist, a majority of the remaining Trustees may fill such
vacancy by appointing such other individual as they in their discretion shall
see fit. Any such appointment shall not become effective, however, until the
person appointed shall have accepted in writing such appointment and agreed in
writing to be bound by the terms of the Declaration. An appointment of a
Trustee may be made by the Trustees then in office in anticipation of a vacancy
to occur by reason of retirement, resignation, removal or increase in number of
Trustees effective at a later date, provided that said appointment shall become
effective only at or after the effective date of said retirement, resignation,
removal or increase in number of Trustees. The power of appointment is subject
to the voting power of one or more Classes or Series of Shares as set forth in
this Declaration, and in the By-Laws or in any Statement, and is subject to all
applicable provisions of the 1940 Act.

    Section 2.4. Vacancies. The death, declination, resignation, retirement,
removal or incapacity of the Trustees, or any of them, shall not operate to
annul the Trust or to revoke any existing agency

                                             4


created pursuant to the terms of the Declaration. Whenever a vacancy in the
number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled as provided in
Section 2.3, or while any Trustee is incapacitated, the other Trustees in
office, regardless of their number, shall have all the powers granted to the
Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by the
Declaration, and only such other Trustees shall be counted for the purposes of
the existence of a quorum or the taking of any action to be taken by the
Trustees. A written instrument certifying the existence of such vacancy or
incapacity signed by a majority of the Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of
the existence thereof.

    Section 2.5. Delegation of Power to Other Trustees. Subject to requirements
imposed by the 1940 Act and other applicable law, any Trustee may, by power of
attorney, delegate his power for a period not exceeding six months at any one
time to any other Trustee or Trustees; provided that in no case shall fewer
than two Trustees personally exercise the powers granted to the Trustees under
the Declaration except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

                                  ARTICLE III

                               POWERS OF TRUSTEES

    Section 3.1. General. Subject to the provisions of the Declaration, the
Trustees shall have exclusive and absolute control over the Trust Property and
over the business of the Trust to the same extent as if the Trustees were the
sole owners of the Trust Property and business in their own right, but with
such powers of delegation as may be permitted by the Declaration. The Trustees
shall have power to conduct the business of the Trust and carry on its
operations in any and all of its branches and maintain offices both within and
without The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in any and all states of the United
States of America, in the District of Columbia, and in any and all
commonwealths, territories, dependencies, colonies, possessions, agencies or
instrumentalities of the United States of America and of foreign governments,
and to do all such other things and execute all such instruments as the
Trustees deem necessary, proper or desirable in order to promote the interests
of the Trust although such things are not herein specifically mentioned. Any
determination as to what is in the interests of the Trust made by the Trustees
in good faith shall be conclusive. In construing the provisions of the
Declaration, the presumption shall be in favor of a grant of power to the
Trustees.


    The enumeration of any specific power herein shall not be construed as
limiting the aforesaid power or any other power of the Trustees hereunder. Such
powers of the Trustees may be exercised without order of or resort to any
court.


    Section 3.2. Investments. (a) The Trustees shall have the power:

        (i) mto conduct, operate and carry on the business of an investment
    company;

        (ii) to subscribe for, invest in, reinvest in, purchase or otherwise
    acquire, own, hold, pledge, sell, assign, transfer, exchange, distribute,
    lend or otherwise deal in or dispose of securities of every nature and
    kind, U.S. and foreign currencies, any form of gold or other precious
    metal, commodity contracts, any form of option contract, contracts for the
    future acquisition or delivery of fixed income or other securities,
    derivative instruments of every kind, "when-issued" or standby contracts,
    and all types of obligations or financial instruments, including, without
    limitation, all types of bonds, debentures, stocks, negotiable or non-
    negotiable instruments, obligations, evidences of indebtedness,
    certificates of deposit or indebtedness, commercial paper,

                                       5


    repurchase agreements, bankers' acceptances, and other securities of any
    kind, issued, created, guaranteed or sponsored by any and all Persons,
    including, without limitation,

            (A) states, territories and possessions of the United States and
        the District of Columbia and any political subdivision, agency or
        instrumentality of any such Person,

            (B) the U.S. Government, any foreign government, or any political
        subdivision or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government or
        any foreign government,

            (C) any international instrumentality,

            (D) any bank or savings institution, or by

            (E) any corporation or organization organized under the laws of the
        United States or of any state, territory or possession thereof, or
        under any foreign law;

            to retain Trust assets in cash and from time to time to change the
        investments in which the assets of the Trust are invested; and to
        exercise any and all rights, powers and privileges of ownership or
        interest in respect of any and all such investments of every kind and
        description, including, without limitation, the right to consent and
        otherwise act with respect thereto, with power to designate one or more
        Persons to exercise any of said rights, powers and privileges in
        respect of any of said investments; and

        (iii) to carry on any other business in connection with or incidental
    to any of the foregoing powers, to do everything necessary, proper or
    desirable for the accomplishment of any purpose or the attainment of any
    object or the furtherance of any power hereinbefore set forth, and to do
    every other act or thing incidental or appurtenant to or connected with the
    aforesaid purposes, objects or powers.

        (b) The Trustees shall not be limited to investing in securities or
    obligations maturing before the possible termination of the Trust, nor
    shall the Trustees be limited by any law limiting the investments which may
    be made by fiduciaries.

        (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration to the
    contrary, the Trustees shall have the power in their discretion without any
    requirement of approval by Shareholders to either invest all or a portion
    of the Trust Property, or sell all or a portion of such Trust Property and
    invest the proceeds of such sales, in one or more other investment
    companies to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act.

    Section 3.3. Legal Title. Legal title to all Trust Property shall be vested
in the Trustees as joint tenants except that the Trustees shall have power to
cause legal title to any Trust Property to be held by or in the name of one or
more of the Trustees, or in the name of the Trust, or in the name of any other
Person or nominee, on such terms as the Trustees may determine. The right,
title and interest of the Trustees in the Trust Property shall vest
automatically in each person who may hereafter become a Trustee. Upon the
resignation, retirement, removal or death of a Trustee, such Trustee shall
automatically cease to have any right, title or interest in any of the Trust
Property, and the right, title and interest of such Trustee in the Trust
Property shall vest automatically in the remaining Trustees. Such vesting and
cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
have been executed and delivered.

                                       6


    Section 3.4. Issuance and Repurchase of Securities. The Trustees shall have
the power to issue, sell, repurchase, redeem, retire, cancel, acquire, hold,
resell, reissue, dispose of, transfer, and otherwise deal in Shares and,
subject to the provisions set forth in Articles VII and VIII hereof, to apply
to any such repurchase, redemption, retirement, cancellation or acquisition of
Shares any funds of the Trust or other Trust Property, whether capital or
surplus or otherwise.

    Section 3.5. Borrowing Money; Lending Trust Property. The Trustees shall
have power to borrow money or otherwise obtain credit and to secure the same by
mortgaging, pledging or otherwise subjecting as security the Trust Property, to
endorse, guarantee, or undertake the performance of any obligation, contract or
engagement of any other Person and to lend Trust Property.

    Section 3.6. Delegation. The Trustees shall have power to delegate from
time to time to such of their number or to officers, employees, any Investment
Adviser, Distributor, custodian, agent or independent contractor of the Trust
the doing of such things and the execution of such instruments either in the
name of the Trust or the names of the Trustees or otherwise as the Trustees may
deem appropriate or expedient.

    Section 3.7. Collection and Payment. The Trustees shall have power to
collect all property due to the Trust; to pay all claims, including taxes,
against the Trust Property; to prosecute, defend, compromise or abandon any
claims relating to the Trust Property; to foreclose any security interest
securing any obligations, by virtue of which any property is owed to the Trust;
and to enter into releases, agreements and other instruments.

    Section 3.8. Expenses. The Trustees shall have the power to incur and pay
any expenses which in the opinion of the Trustees are necessary or incidental
to carry out any of the purposes of the Declaration, and to pay reasonable
compensation from the funds of the Trust to themselves as Trustees. The
Trustees shall fix the compensation of all officers, employees, Trustees and
Advisory Trustees.

    Section 3.9. Manner of Acting; By-Laws. Except as otherwise provided
herein, in the 1940 Act or in the By-Laws, any action to be taken by the
Trustees may be taken by a majority of the Trustees present at a meeting of
Trustees at which a quorum is present, including any meeting held by means of a
conference telephone circuit or similar communications equipment by means of
which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, or by
written consents of two-thirds of the Trustees. The Trustees may adopt By-Laws
not inconsistent with the Declaration to provide for the conduct of the
business of the Trust and may amend or repeal such By-Laws to the extent
permitted therein at any time.

    Section 3.10. Miscellaneous Powers. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Trustees shall have the power to:

        (a) employ or contract with such Persons as the Trustees may deem
    desirable for the transaction of the business of the Trust;

        (b) enter into joint ventures, partnerships and any other combinations
    or associations;

        (c) elect and remove such officers and appoint and terminate such
    agents or employees as they consider appropriate, in each case with or
    without cause, and appoint and terminate any one or more committees which

    portfolio investments, and insurance policies insuring Shareholders, any
    administrator, Trustees, Advisory Trustees, officers, employees, agents,
    any Investment Adviser, any Distributor, selected dealers or independent
    contractors of the Trust against all claims arising by reason of holding

    or not the Trust would have the power to indemnify such Person against such
    liability;

        (e) establish pension, profit-sharing, Share purchase, deferred

        (g) guarantee indebtedness or contractual obligations of others;

        (h) determine and change the fiscal year of the Trust and the method by

        (i) adopt a seal for the Trust, provided that the absence of such seal
    shall not impair the validity of any instrument executed on behalf of the
    Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IV

         INVESTMENT ADVISER, DISTRIBUTOR, CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT

    Section 4.1. Investment Adviser. Subject to applicable requirements of the
1940 Act, the Trustees may in their discretion from time to time enter into one
or more investment advisory or management contracts whereby the other party to
each such contract shall undertake to furnish the Trust such management,
investment advisory, statistical and research facilities and services,
promotional activities, and such other facilities and services, if any, as the
Trustees shall from time to time consider desirable and all upon such terms and
conditions as the Trustees may in their discretion determine. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Declaration, the Trustees may delegate to the Investment
Adviser authority (subject to such general or specific instructions as the
Trustees may from time to time adopt) to effect purchases, sales, loans or
exchanges of assets of the Trust on behalf of the Trustees or may authorize any
officer, employee or Trustee to effect such purchases, sales, loans or
exchanges pursuant to recommendations of the Investment Adviser (and all
without further action by the Trustees). Any of such purchases, sales, loans or
exchanges shall be deemed to have been authorized by all the Trustees. Such
services may be provided by one or more Persons.

    Section 4.2. Distributor. Subject to applicable requirements of the 1940
Act, the Trustees may in their discretion from time to time enter into one or
more exclusive or non-exclusive distribution contracts providing for the sale
of Shares of one or more Classes, whereby the Trust may either agree to sell
the Shares to the other party to any such contract or appoint any such other
party its sales

                                       8


agent for such Shares. In either case, any such contract shall be on such terms
and conditions as the Trustees may in their discretion determine, provided that
such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the
Declaration or the By-Laws; and such contract may also provide for the
repurchase or sale of Shares by such other party as principal or as agent of
the Trust and may provide that such other party may enter into selected dealer
agreements or agency agreements with securities dealers or other Persons to
further the purpose of the distribution or repurchase of the Shares. Such
services may be provided by one or more Persons.

    Section 4.3. Custodian. The Trustees may in their discretion from time to
time enter into one or more contracts whereby the other party to each such

such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the 1940
Act, the Declaration or the By-Laws. The Trustees may authorize any custodian

services of the custodian as the Trustees shall from time to time consider
desirable. Services described in this Section may be provided by one or more
Persons.

    Section 4.4. Transfer Agent. The Trustees may in their discretion from time
to time enter into one or more transfer agency or sub-transfer agency and
shareholder servicing contracts whereby the other party to each such contract
shall undertake to furnish such transfer agency and/or shareholder services to

upon such terms and conditions as the Trustees may in their discretion
determine, provided that such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Declaration or the By-Laws. Such services may be provided
by one or more Persons.

    Section 4.5. Parties to Contract. Any contract of the character described
in any Section of this Article IV may be entered into with any Person, although
one or more of the Trustees or officers of the Trust may be an officer,
partner, director, trustee, shareholder, or member of such other party to the
contract, and no such contract shall be invalidated or rendered voidable by
reason of the existence of any such relationship; nor shall any Person holding
such relationship be liable merely by reason of such relationship for any loss
or expense to the Trust under or by reason of any such contract or accountable
for any profit realized directly or indirectly therefrom, provided that the
contract when entered into was not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Article IV or the By-Laws. The same Person may be the other party to contracts
entered into pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 above, and any
individual may be financially interested or otherwise affiliated with Persons
who are parties to any or all of the contracts mentioned in this Section 4.5.

                                   ARTICLE V

         LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS, TRUSTEES AND OTHERS

    Section 5.1. No Personal Liability of Shareholders. No Shareholder or
former Shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any
Person in connection with Trust Property or the acts, obligations or affairs of
the Trust solely by reason of being or having been a Shareholder. The Trust
shall indemnify and hold each Shareholder and former Shareholder harmless from
and against all claims and liabilities to which such Shareholder may become
subject solely by reason of his or her being or having been a Shareholder
(other than taxes payable by virtue of owning Shares), and shall

                                       9


reimburse such Shareholder for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred
by him in connection with any such claim or liability. The rights accruing to a
Shareholder or former Shareholder under this Section 5.1 shall not exclude any
other right to which such Shareholder may be lawfully entitled, nor shall
anything herein contained restrict the right of the Trust to indemnify or
reimburse a Shareholder or former Shareholder in any appropriate situation even
though not specifically provided herein. The Trust shall, upon request by a
Shareholder or former Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against
such Shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any
judgment thereon from the assets of the Trust.

    Section 5.2. Limitation of Liability of Trustees and Others. (a) No
Trustee, Advisory Trustee, officer or employee or agent of the Trust shall be
subject to any liability whatsoever to any Person in connection with Trust
Property or the affairs of the Trust, and no Trustee or Advisory Trustee shall
be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any
officer, employee or agent of the Trust or for the act or omission of any other
Trustee or Advisory Trustee. For the sake of clarification and without limiting
the foregoing, the appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as
the Chair of the Trustees, the lead or assistant lead independent Trustee, a
member or Chair of a committee of the Trustees, an expert on any topic or in
any area (including an audit committee financial expert) or any other special
appointment, designation or identification given to a Trustee, shall not (a)
impose on that person any duty, obligation or liability that is greater than
the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on that person as a Trustee in
the absence of the appointment, designation or identification or (b) affect in
any way such Trustee's rights or entitlement to indemnification, and no Trustee
who has special skills or expertise, or is appointed, designated or identified
as aforesaid, shall (x) be held to a higher standard of care by virtue thereof
or (y) be limited with respect to any indemnification to which such Trustee
would otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 5.2(a) or otherwise, nothing in the Declaration shall protect any
Trustee, Advisory Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust against any
liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which he, she or it would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his,
her or its office or position with or on behalf of the Trust.

    (b) All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having claim
against the Trust shall look solely to the assets of the Trust for payment
under such credit, contract or claim; and neither any Trustee or Advisory
Trustee, nor any of the Trust's officers, employees or agents, whether past,
present or future, shall be personally liable therefor.

    Section 5.3. Mandatory Indemnification. (a) Subject to the exceptions and
limitations contained in paragraph (b) below:

        (i) every person who is or has been a Trustee, Advisory Trustee or
    officer of the Trust (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") shall
    be indemnified by the Trust against all liability and against all expenses
    reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any claim,
    action, suit or proceeding in which that individual becomes involved as a
    party or otherwise by virtue of being or having been a Trustee, Advisory
    Trustee or officer and against amounts paid or incurred by that individual
    in the settlement thereof;

        (ii) the words "claim," "action," "suit" or "proceeding" shall apply to
    all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal, administrative
    or other, including appeals), actual or threat-

                                      10


    ened; and the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include, without
    limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement
    or compromise, fines, penalties and other liabilities.

    (b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:

        (i) against any liability to the Trust or the Shareholders by reason of
    a final adjudication by the court or other body before which the proceeding
    was brought that the Covered Person engaged in willful misfeasance, bad
    faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
    conduct of that individual's office;

        (ii) with respect to any matter as to which the Covered Person shall
    have been finally adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the
    reasonable belief that that individual's action was in the best interest of
    the Trust; or

        (iii) in the event of a settlement involving a payment by a Trustee,
    Advisory Trustee or officer or other disposition not involving a final
    adjudication as provided in paragraph (b)(i) or (b)(ii) above resulting in
    a payment by a Covered Person, unless there has been either a determination
    that such Covered Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith,
    gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
    conduct of that individual's office by the court or other body approving
    the settlement or other disposition or by a reasonable determination, based
    upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type
    inquiry) that that individual did not engage in such conduct:

            (A) by vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees (as defined
        below) acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the
        Disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter); or

            (B) by written opinion of (i) the then-current legal counsel to the
        Trustees who are not Interested Persons of the Trust or (ii) other
        legal counsel chosen by a majority of the Disinterested Trustees (or if
        there are no Disinterested Trustees with respect to the matter in
        question, by a majority of the Trustees who are not Interested Persons
        of the Trust) and determined by them in their reasonable judgment to be
        independent.

    (c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by
policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not affect any
other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled,
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered Person and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Nothing contained herein shall limit the Trust from entering into other
insurance arrangements or affect any rights to indemnification to which Trust
personnel, including Covered Persons, may be entitled by contract or otherwise
under law.

    (d) Expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding of the character described in paragraph (a) of this
Section 5.3 shall be advanced by the Trust prior to final disposition thereof
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay
such amount if it is ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not
entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.3, provided that either:

        (i) such undertaking is secured by a surety bond or some other
    appropriate security or the Trust shall be insured against losses arising
    out of any such advances; or

                                      11


        (ii) a majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting on the matter
    (provided that a majority of the Disinterested Trustees then in office act
    on the matter) or legal counsel meeting the requirement in Section 5.3(b)
    (iii)(B) above in a written opinion, shall determine, based upon a review
    of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that
    there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately will be found
    entitled to indemnification.

    As used in this Section 5.3 a "Disinterested Trustee" is one (i) who is not
an "Interested Person" of the Trust (including anyone who has been exempted
from being an "Interested Person" by any rule, regulation or order of the
Commission), and (ii) against whom none of such actions, suits or other
proceedings or another action, suit or other proceeding on the same or similar
grounds is then or had been pending.

    (e) With respect to any such determination or opinion referred to in clause
(b)(iii) above or clause (d)(ii) above, a rebuttable presumption shall be
afforded that the Covered Person has not engaged in willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of such Covered Person's office in accordance with pronouncements of
the Commission.

    Section 5.4. No Bond Required. No Trustee, Advisory Trustee or officer
shall be obligated to give any bond or other security for the performance of
any of his or her duties hereunder.

    Section 5.5. No Duty of Investigation; Notice in Trust Instruments. No
purchaser, lender, shareholder servicing agent, Transfer Agent or other Person
dealing with the Trustees or any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall
be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction
purporting to be made by the Trustees or by said officer, employee or agent or
be liable for the application of money or property paid, loaned, or delivered
to or on the order of the Trustees or of said officer, employee or agent. Every
obligation, contract, instrument, certificate, Share, other security of the
Trust or undertaking, and every other act or thing whatsoever executed in
connection with the Trust shall be conclusively presumed to have been executed
or done by the executors thereof only in their capacity as Trustees under the
Declaration or in their capacity as officers, employees or agents of the Trust.
Every written obligation, contract, instrument, certificate, Share, other
security of the Trust or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or officers
shall recite that the same is executed or made by them not individually, but as
or on behalf of Trustees under the Declaration, and that the obligations of any
such instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or
Shareholders individually, but bind only the Trust estate, and may contain any
further recital deemed appropriate, but the omission of such recital shall not
operate to bind any of the Trustees, officers or Shareholders individually. The
Trustees may maintain insurance for the protection of the Trust Property,
Shareholders, Trustees, Advisory Trustees, officers, employees and agents in
such amount as the Trustees shall deem adequate to cover possible tort
liability, and such other insurance as the Trustees in their sole judgment
shall deem advisable.

    Section 5.6. Good Faith Action; Reliance on Experts. The exercise by the
Trustees or the officers of the Trust of their powers and discretions hereunder
in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances then prevailing
shall be binding upon everyone interested. The Trustees or the officers of the
Trust shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.
Each Trustee and officer or employee of the Trust shall, in the performance of
his or her duties, be under no liability and fully and completely justified and
protected with regard to any act or any failure to act resulting from reliance
in good faith upon the books of account or other records of the Trust, upon
advice of counsel,

                                      12


or upon reports made to the Trust by any of its officers or employees or by the
Investment Adviser, the Distributor, Transfer Agent, custodian, any shareholder
servicing agent, selected dealers, accountants, appraisers or other experts or
consultants selected with reasonable care by the Trustees, officers or
employees of the Trust, regardless of whether such counsel or expert may also
be a Trustee.

    Section 5.7. Derivative Actions. No Shareholder shall have the right to
bring or maintain any court action, proceeding or claim on behalf of the Trust
or any Class of Shares thereof without first making demand on the Trustees
requesting the Trustees to bring or maintain such action, proceeding or claim.
Such demand shall be excused only when the plaintiff makes a specific showing
that irreparable injury to the Trust or Class of Shares thereof would otherwise
result, or if a majority of the Board of Trustees, or a majority of any
committee established to consider the merits of such action, has a material
personal financial interest in the action at issue. A Trustee shall not be
deemed to have a personal financial interest in an action or otherwise be
disqualified from ruling on a Shareholder demand by virtue of the fact that
such Trustee receives remuneration from his or her service on the Board of
Trustees of the Trust or on the boards of one or more investment companies with
the same or an affiliated investment adviser or underwriter, or the amount of
such remuneration.

    Such demand shall be mailed to the Secretary or Clerk of the Trust at the
Trust's principal office and shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of
the proposed court action, proceeding or claim and the essential facts relied
upon by the Shareholder to support the allegations made in the demand. The
Trustees shall consider such demand within 45 days of its receipt by the Trust.
In their sole discretion, the Trustees may submit the matter to a vote of
Shareholders of the Trust or any Class thereof, as appropriate. Any decision by
the Trustees to bring, maintain or settle (or not to bring, maintain or settle)
such court action, proceeding or claim, or to submit the matter to a vote of
Shareholders, shall be made by the Trustees in their business judgment and
shall be binding upon the Shareholders. Any decision by the Trustees to bring
or maintain a court action, proceeding or suit on behalf of the Trust or any
Class thereof shall be subject to the right of the Shareholders under Section
6.8 of the Declaration to vote on whether or not such court action, proceeding
or suit should or should not be brought or maintained.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                         SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

    Section 6.1. Beneficial Interest. The Trustees may, without Shareholder
approval, authorize one or more Classes of Shares with or without par value
(which Classes may be divided into two or more Series), Shares of each such
Class or Series having such preferences, voting powers, terms of redemption, if
any, and special or relative rights or privileges (including conversion rights,
if any) as the Trustees may determine.

    As of the date of the Amended and Restated Declaration, the Shares shall be
divided into [two][three] Classes of Shares, a Class of an unlimited number of
common shares of beneficial interest, without par value (the "Common Shares")
and [a Class][two Classes] of an unlimited number of preferred shares of
beneficial interest, without par value (the "Preferred Shares").

    The designations and powers, preferences and rights, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Common Shares are as
follows and as set forth elsewhere in this Declaration.

                                      13


    (a) Subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares, if any,
in the event of the termination of the Trust the holders of the Common Shares
shall be entitled to receive pro rata the net distributable assets of the
Trust.

    (b) The holders of the Common Shares shall not, as such holders, have any
right to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any Common Shares or securities of
the Trust which it may hereafter issue or sell, other than such right, if any,
as the Trustees in their discretion may determine.

    (c) Subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares, if any,
dividends or other distributions, when, as and if declared by the Trustees,
shall be shared equally by the holders of Common Shares on a share for share
basis. The Trustees may direct that any dividends or other distributions or any
portion thereof as declared and distributed shall be paid in cash to the
holder, or, alternatively, may direct that any such dividends be reinvested in
full and fractional Shares of the Trust if such holder elects to have them
reinvested.

    (d) The Trustees may hold as treasury shares (of the same or some other
Series), reissue for such consideration and on such terms as they may
determine, or cancel any Common Shares of any Series reacquired by the Trust at
their discretion from time to time. Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to
any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust. The designations and
powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of the Preferred Shares, if any, shall be as set forth in the
By-Laws or the Statement relating to the Preferred Shares.

    All Shares issued hereunder including, without limitations, Shares issued
in connection with a dividend in Shares, or a split of Shares, shall be fully
paid and non-assessable.

    Section 6.2. Rights of Shareholders. The ownership of the Trust Property of
every description and the right to conduct any business hereinbefore described
are vested exclusively in the Trustees, and the Shareholders shall have no
interest therein other than the beneficial interest conferred by their Shares,
and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of any
property, profits, rights or interests of the Trust nor can they be called upon
to assume any losses of the Trust or suffer an assessment of any kind by virtue
of their ownership of Shares. The Shares shall be personal property giving only
the rights specifically set forth in the Declaration. The Shares shall not
entitle the holder to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange
rights, except as the Trustees may determine with respect to any Class or
Series of Shares. By becoming a Shareholder each Shareholder shall be held
expressly to have assented to and agreed to be bound by the provisions of the
Declaration.

    Section 6.3. Trust Only. It is the intention of the Trustees to create only
the relationship of Trustee and beneficiary between the Trustees and each
Shareholder from time to time. It is not the intention of the Trustees to
create a general partnership, limited partnership, joint stock association,
corporation, bailment or any form of legal relationship other than a trust.
Nothing in the Declaration shall be construed to make the Shareholders, either
by themselves or with the Trustees, partners or members of a joint stock
association.

    Section 6.4. Issuance of Shares. The Trustees, in their discretion may,
from time to time without vote of the Shareholders, issue Shares, in addition
to the then issued and outstanding Shares and Shares held in the treasury, to
such party or parties and for such amount and type of consideration, including
cash or property, at such time or times, and on such terms as the Trustees may
deem best, and may in such manner acquire other assets (including the
acquisition of assets subject to, and in

                                      14


connection with, the assumption of liabilities) and businesses. In connection
with any issuance of Shares, the Trustees may issue fractional Shares. The
Trustees may from time to time divide or combine the Shares, including the
Shares of any Class, into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing
their proportionate beneficial interests in Trust Property. Contributions to
the Trust may be accepted for whole Shares and/or 1/1,000ths of a Share or
integral multiples thereof.

    Section 6.5. Register of Shares. A register or registers shall be kept at
the principal office of the Trust or at an office of the Transfer Agent which
shall contain the names and addresses (which may be addresses for electronic
delivery) of the Shareholders and the number of Shares held by them
respectively and a record of all transfers thereof. Such register shall be
conclusive as to who are the holders of the Shares, including Shares of any
Class or Series, and who shall be entitled to receive dividends or
distributions or otherwise to exercise or enjoy the rights of Shareholders. No
Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of any dividend or
distribution, nor to have notice given to that Shareholder as provided herein
or in the By-Laws, until the Shareholder has given his or her address to the
Transfer Agent or such other officer or agent of the Trustees as shall keep the
said register for entry thereon. The Trustees, in their discretion, may
authorize the issuance of Share certificates and promulgate appropriate rules
and regulations as to their use.

    Section 6.6. Transfer of Shares. Shares shall be transferable on the
records of the Trust only by the record holder thereof or by the record
holder's agent thereunto authorized in writing, upon delivery to the Trustees
or, if there is a Transfer Agent with respect to such Shares, the Transfer
Agent of a duly executed instrument of transfer together with any certificate
or certificates (if issued) for such Shares and such evidence of the
genuineness of each such execution and authorization and of other matters as
may reasonably be required. Upon such delivery the transfer shall be recorded
on the register of the Trust. Until such record is made, the Shareholder of
record shall be deemed to be the holder of such Shares for all purposes
hereunder and neither the Trustees nor any Transfer Agent or registrar nor any
officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be affected by any notice of the
proposed transfer.

    Any Person becoming entitled to any Shares in consequence of the death,
bankruptcy, or incompetence of any Shareholder, or otherwise by operation of
law, shall be recorded on the register of Shares as the holder of such Shares
upon production of the proper evidence thereof to the Trustees or the Transfer
Agent; but until such record is made, the Shareholder of record shall be deemed
to be the holder of such Shares for all purposes hereunder and neither the
Trustees nor any Transfer Agent or registrar nor any officer or agent of the
Trust shall be affected by any notice of such death, bankruptcy or
incompetence, or other operation of law.

    Section 6.7. Notices. Any and all notices to which any Shareholder may be
entitled and any and all communications shall be deemed duly served or given
(i) if mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to any Shareholder of record at the
Shareholder's last known address as recorded on the register of the Trust, (ii)
if sent by electronic transmission to the Shareholder of record at the
Shareholder's last known address for electronic delivery as recorded on the
register of the Trust, (iii) if mailed or sent by electronic delivery to one or
more members of the Shareholder's household in accordance with applicable law
or regulation, or (iv) if otherwise sent in accordance with applicable law or
regulation.

    Section 6.8. Voting Powers. Subject to the voting power of one or more
Classes or Series of Shares as set forth in the Declaration, and in the By-
Laws or in any Statement, Shareholders shall

                                      15


have power to vote only (i) for the election of Trustees when that issue is
submitted to Shareholders, and for the removal of Trustees as provided in
Section 2.2 hereof, (ii) with respect to any investment advisory or management
contract on which a shareholder vote is required by the 1940 Act, (iii) with
respect to termination of the Trust or any Class to the extent and as provided
in Section 8.2 hereof, (iv) with respect to any amendment of the Declaration to
the extent and as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, (v) with respect to any
merger, consolidation, or sale of assets to the extent and as provided in
Sections 8.4 and 8.7 hereof, (vi) with respect to any conversion of the Trust
to an "open-end company" to the extent and as provided in Section 8.6 hereof,
(vii) to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts business
corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or
should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf
of the Trust or the Shareholders, and (viii) with respect to such additional
matters relating to the Trust as may be required by the Declaration, the
By-Laws, any Statement, or any registration of the Trust with the Commission
(or any successor agency) or any other regulator having jurisdiction over the
Trust, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable.

    A Shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each Share owned by such
Shareholder on each matter on which such Shareholder is entitled to vote and
each fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote,
except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws or any Statement. Shares held in
the treasury of the Trust shall not be voted.

    Except when a larger vote is required by applicable law or by any provision
of the Declaration, the By-Laws, or a Statement, if any, Shares representing a
majority of the Shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any questions
and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, provided that where any provision of
law, the Declaration, the By-Laws, or a Statement requires that holders of any
Class or Series shall vote as a class, then Shares representing a majority of
the Shares of that Class or Series voted on the matter (or a plurality with
respect to the election of a Trustee) shall decide that matter insofar as that
Class or Series is concerned, and provided further, that abstentions and broker
non-votes shall not be counted as votes cast but shall be counted as being
present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

    Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary but subject to the
By-Laws or any Statement relating to Preferred Shares on any matter submitted
to a vote of the Shareholders of the Trust, all Shares of the Trust then
entitled to vote shall be voted in the aggregate as a single Class, except that
(i) when required by the 1940 Act to be voted by individual Class or Series,
Shares shall not be voted in the aggregate, and (ii) when the Trustees have
determined that a matter affects only the interests of Shareholders of
particular Classes or Series of Shares, only Shareholders of such Class or
Series of Shares, as applicable, shall be entitled to vote thereon.

    There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees. Until
Shares of a particular Class or Series are issued and during any period when
no Shares of a particular Class or Series are outstanding, the Trustees may
exercise all rights of Shareholders of such Class or Series and may take any
action required by law, the Declaration, the By-Laws or any Statement to be
taken by Shareholders as to such Class or Series. The By-Laws or any Statement
may include further provisions for Shareholder votes and meetings and related
matters.

                                      16


                                  ARTICLE VII

         DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE, NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Trustees, in their absolute discretion, may prescribe and shall set forth
in the By-Laws, in any Statement, or in a duly adopted vote of the Trustees
such bases and times for determining the per Share net asset value of the
Shares, including any Class or Series of Shares or net income, or the
declaration and payment of dividends and distributions, as they may deem
necessary or desirable.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

            DURATION; TERMINATION OF TRUST; AMENDMENT; MERGERS, ETC.

    Section 8.1. Duration. The Trust shall continue without limitation of time
but subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

    Section 8.2. Termination of Trust. (a) Subject to the voting powers of one
or more Classes or Series of Shares as set forth in this Declaration, and in
the By-Laws or in any Statement, the Trust may be terminated at any time (i) by
the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Shares
outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders, or (ii) by the
Trustees by written notice to the Shareholders. Any Class of the Trust may be
terminated at any time (i) by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less
than two-thirds of the Shares of that Class outstanding and entitled to vote at
any meeting of Shareholders, or (ii) by the Trustees by written notice to the
Shareholders of that Class. Upon the termination of the Trust:

        (i) The Trust shall carry on no business except for the purpose of
    winding up its affairs;

        (ii) The Trustees shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Trust and
    all the powers of the Trustees under the Declaration shall continue until
    the affairs of the Trust shall have been wound up, including the power to
    fulfill or discharge the contracts of the Trust, collect its assets, sell,
    convey, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part
    of the remaining Trust Property to one or more Persons at public or private
    sale for consideration which may consist in whole or in part of cash,
    securities or other property of any kind, discharge or pay its liabilities,
    and to do all other acts appropriate to liquidate its business; and

        (iii) After paying or adequately providing for the payment of all
    liabilities, and upon receipt of such releases, indemnities and refunding
    agreements as they deem necessary for their protection, the Trustees may
    distribute the remaining Trust Property, in cash or in kind or partly in
    cash and partly in kind, among the Shareholders of the Trust according to
    their respective rights and as required or permitted by the preferences and
    special or relative rights and privileges of any Class or Series of Shares.

    The foregoing provisions shall also apply, with appropriate modifications
as determined by the Trustees, to the termination of any Class.

    (b) After termination of the Trust or Class and distribution to the
Shareholders of the Trust or Class as herein provided, a majority of the
Trustees shall execute and lodge among the records of the Trust an instrument
in writing setting forth the fact of such termination, and the Trustees shall
thereupon be discharged from all further liabilities and duties hereunder with
respect to the Trust or Class, and the rights and interests of all Shareholders
of the Trust or Class shall thereupon cease.

                                      17


    Section 8.3. Amendment Procedure. (a) Except as specifically provided
herein, the Trustees may, without any Shareholder vote, amend or otherwise
supplement the Declaration by making an amendment, a Declaration of Trust
supplemental hereto or an amended and restated Declaration. Without limiting
the foregoing power reserved to the Trustees, the Trustees may, without any
Shareholder vote, amend the Declaration to designate or redesignate Classes or
Series, to change the name or principal office of the Trust, to supply any
omission, to cure, correct or supplement any ambiguous, defective or
inconsistent provision hereof, or if they deem it necessary or advisable, to
conform the Declaration to the requirements of applicable law, including the
1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, but the Trustees
shall not be liable for failing to do so. Shareholders shall have the right to
vote on (i) any amendment that would affect their right to vote granted in
Section 6.8; (ii) any amendment to Section 8.3(a) or (b); (iii) any amendment
as may be required by law, by the Trust's registration statement, by the By-
Laws, or by any Statement to be approved by Shareholders; and (iv) any
amendment submitted to them by the Trustees. Except to the extent a higher vote
is required by the By-Laws or any Statement, or as otherwise provided in
Section 8.3(c), any amendment on which Shareholders have the right to vote
shall require a Majority Shareholder Vote of the Shareholders of the Trust, or
the written consent, without a meeting, of the holders of Shares representing
not less than a majority of the voting power of the Shares of the Trust.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustees shall determine that any
amendment required or permitted to be submitted to Shareholders would affect
only the interest of Shareholders of particular Classes of Shares, then only
Shareholders of such Classes shall be entitled to vote thereon, and no vote of
Shareholders of any other Classes shall be required.

    (b) Nothing contained in the Declaration shall permit the amendment of the
Declaration to impair the exemption from personal liability of the
Shareholders, former Shareholders, Trustees, Advisory Trustees, officers,
employees and agents of the Trust or to permit assessments upon Shareholders or
former Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any amendment to
Section 5.3 shall not limit the rights to indemnification or insurance provided
therein with respect to actions or omissions of persons entitled to
indemnification under such Section prior to such amendment.


    No amendment may be made which shall amend, alter, change or repeal any of
the provisions of Section 2.2, Section 8.2, this Section 8.3(c), Section 8.4,
Section 8.6 and Section 8.7 unless the amendment effecting such amendment,
alteration, change or repeal shall receive the affirmative vote or consent of
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Shares outstanding and
entitled to vote. Such affirmative vote or consent shall be in addition to the
vote or consent of the holders of Shares otherwise required by law or by the
terms of any Class or Series of preferred stock, whether now or hereafter
authorized, or any agreement between the Trust and any national securities
exchange.


    (d) A certificate signed by a majority of the Trustees setting forth an
amendment and reciting that it was duly adopted by the Shareholders (if
applicable) or by the Trustees as aforesaid or a copy of the Declaration, as
amended, and executed by a majority of the Trustees, shall be conclusive
evidence of such amendment when lodged among the records of the Trust.

    (e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, until such time as Shares
of a particular Class are first issued the Declaration may be terminated or
amended in any respect as to that Class, and as to any Class in which Shares
are not outstanding, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees or
by an instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees.

                                      18


    Section 8.4. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. Subject to
applicable law and except as otherwise provided in Section 8.5 hereof, the
Trust or any Class thereof may merge or consolidate with any other corporation,
association, trust or other organization or may sell, lease or exchange all or
substantially all of the Trust Property (or all or substantially all of the
Trust Property allocated to a particular Class of the Trust) including its good
will, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration when and as
authorized (a) at any meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose by the
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two- thirds of the Shares
outstanding and entitled to vote of all Classes of the Trust voting as a single
class if the entire Trust is merging, consolidating or disposing of assets, or
by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the
Shares of a Class if only that Class is merging consolidating or disposing of
assets, or (b) by the written consent, without a meeting, of the holders of not
less than two-thirds of such Shares or of the Shares of the particular Class as
described above, provided, however, that if such merger, consolidation, sale,
lease or exchange is recommended by the Trustees, the vote or written consent
of the holders of a majority of Shares of the Trust outstanding and entitled to
vote or of the Shares of the particular Class as described above, shall be
sufficient authorization. Any such merger, consolidation, sale, lease or
exchange shall be deemed for all purposes to have been accomplished under and
pursuant to the statutes of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Such
transactions may be effected through share-for-share exchanges, transfers or
sales of assets, in-kind redemptions and purchases, exchange offers, or any
other method approved by the Trustees. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as requiring approval of Shareholders for any recapitalization or
reclassification of any Class, for any sale of assets in the ordinary course of
the business of the Trust, or for any transaction, whether deemed a merger,
consolidation, reorganization or exchange of shares or otherwise, whereby the
Trust issues shares of one or more Classes in connection with the acquisition
of assets (including those subject to liabilities) from any other investment
company or similar entity.

    Section 8.5. Incorporation, Reorganization. The Trustees may, without the
vote or consent of Shareholders, cause to be organized or assist in organizing
a corporation or corporations under the laws of any jurisdiction, or any other
trust (or series or class of a trust), unit investment trust, partnership,
limited liability company, association or other organization to acquire all or
a portion of the Trust Property (or all or a portion of the Trust Property
allocated to a particular Class) or to carry on any business in which the Trust
shall directly or indirectly have any interest, and to sell, convey and
transfer such Trust Property to any such corporation, trust (or series or class
of a trust), partnership, limited liability company, association or
organization in exchange for the shares or securities thereof or otherwise, and
to lend money to, subscribe for the shares or securities of, and enter into any
contracts with any such corporation, trust, partnership, association or
organization in which the Trust holds or is about to acquire shares or any
other interest. The Trustees may also, without the vote or consent of
Shareholders, cause a merger or consolidation between the Trust or any
successor thereto and any such corporation, trust (or series or class of a
trust), partnership, association or other organization if and to the extent
permitted by law. The Trustees shall provide written notice to affected
Shareholders of each transaction pursuant to this Section 8.5. Such
transactions may be effected through share-for-share exchanges, transfers or
sales of assets, in-kind redemptions and purchases, exchange offers, or any
other method approved by the Trustees.


    Section 8.6. Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Declaration, the conversion of the Trust from a "closed-end company" to an
"open-end company," as those terms are defined in the 1940 Act, shall require
the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds

                                      19


percent (66 2/3%) of the Shares of each Class outstanding and entitled
to vote. Such affirmative vote or consent shall be in addition to the vote or
consent of the holders of the Shares otherwise required by law or by the terms
of any Class or Series of preferred stock, whether now or hereafter authorized,
or any agreement between the Trust and any national securities exchange.

    Section 8.7. Certain Transactions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Declaration and subject to the exceptions provided in paragraph (d) of
this Section, the types of transactions described in paragraph (c) of this
Section shall require the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Shares outstanding and
entitled to vote, when a Principal Shareholder (as defined in paragraph (b) of
this Section) is a party to the transaction. Such affirmative vote or consent
shall be in addition to the vote or consent of the Shareholders otherwise
required by law or by the terms of any Class or Series of preferred stock,
whether now or hereafter authorized, or any agreement between the Trust and any
national securities exchange.


    (b) The term "Principal Shareholder" shall mean any corporation, person or
other entity which is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more
than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares and shall include any
affiliate or associate, as such terms are defined in clause (ii) below, of a
Principal Shareholder. For the purposes of this Section, in addition to the
Shares which a corporation, person or other entity beneficially owns directly,
(a) any corporation, person or other entity shall be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of any Shares (i) which it has the right to acquire pursuant
to any agreement or upon exercise of conversion rights or warrants, or
otherwise (but excluding share options granted by the Trust) or (ii) which are
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including Shares deemed owned
through application of clause (i) above), by any other corporation, person or
entity with which its "affiliate" or "associate" (as defined below) has any
agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding,
voting or disposing of Shares, or which is its "affiliate" or "associate" as
those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as in effect on December 1, 1986, and
(b) the outstanding Shares shall include Shares deemed owned through
application of clauses (i) and (ii) above but shall not include any other
shares which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of
conversion rights or warrants, or otherwise.

    (c) This Section shall apply to the following transactions:

        (i) the merger or consolidation of the Trust or any subsidiary of the
    Trust with or into any Principal Shareholder;

        (ii) the issuance of any securities of the Trust to any Principal
    Shareholder for cash;

        (iii) the sale, lease or exchange of all or any substantial part of the
    assets of the Trust to any Principal Shareholder (except assets having an
    aggregate fair market value of less than $1,000,000, aggregating for the
    purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any
    series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period);

        (iv) the sale, lease or exchange to the Trust or any subsidiary
    thereof, in exchange for securities of the Trust of any assets of any
    Principal Shareholder (except assets having an aggregate fair market value
    of less than $1,000,000, aggregating for the purposes of such computation
    all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar transactions
    within a twelve-month period).

                                      20


    (d) The provisions of this Section shall not be applicable to (i) any of
the transactions described in paragraph (c) of this Section if the Board of
Trustees of the Trust shall by resolution have approved a memorandum of
understanding with such Principal Shareholder with respect to and substantially
consistent with such transaction, or (ii) any such transaction with any
corporation of which a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of
stock normally entitled to vote in elections of directors is owned of record or
beneficially by the Trust and its subsidiaries.

    (e) The Board of Trustees shall have the power and duty to determine for
the purposes of this Section on the basis of information known to the Trust,
whether (i) a corporation, person or entity beneficially owns more than five
percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares, (ii) a corporation, person or entity is
an "affiliate" or "associate" (as defined above) of another, (iii) the assets
being acquired or leased to or by the Trust or any subsidiary thereof,
constitute a substantial part of the assets of the Trust and have an aggregate
fair market value of less than $1,000,000, and (iv) the memorandum of
understanding referred to in paragraph (d) hereof is substantially consistent
with the transaction covered thereby. Any such determination shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Section.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

    Section 9.1. Filing. The Declaration and any subsequent amendment hereto
and any Statement shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in such other place or places as may be
required under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and may also be
filed or recorded in such other places as the Trustees deem appropriate,
provided that the failure to so file shall not invalidate this instrument or
any properly authorized amendment hereto. Each amendment so filed shall be
accompanied by a certificate signed and acknowledged by an officer or Trustee
stating that such action was duly taken in a manner provided herein, and unless
such amendment or such certificate sets forth some other time for the
effectiveness of such amendment, such amendment shall be effective upon its
filing. A restated Declaration, integrating into a single instrument all of the
provisions of the Declaration which are then in effect and operative, may be
executed from time to time by a majority of the Trustees and shall, upon filing
with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, be conclusive evidence
of all amendments contained therein and may thereafter be referred to in lieu
of the original Declaration and the various amendments thereto.

    Section 9.2. Governing Law. The Declaration is executed by the Trustees and
delivered in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and with reference to the laws
thereof, and the rights of all parties and the validity and construction of
every provision hereof shall be subject to and construed according to the laws
of said Commonwealth. The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a
Massachusetts business trust, and without limiting the provisions hereof, the
Trust may exercise all powers which are ordinarily exercised by such a trust,
and the absence of a specific reference herein to any such power, privilege, or
action shall not imply that the Trust may not exercise such power or privilege
or take such action.

    Section 9.3. Principal Office. The principal office of the Trust is 500
Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. The Trustees, without a vote of
Shareholders, may change the principal office of the Trust.

                                      21


    Section 9.4. Counterparts. The Declaration may be simultaneously executed
in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and
such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument,
which shall be sufficiently evidenced by any such original counterpart.

    Section 9.5. Reliance by Third Parties. Any certificate executed by an
individual who, according to the records of the Trust, appears to be an officer
or Trustee hereunder, certifying to: (i) the number or identity of Trustees or
Shareholders, (ii) the due authorization of the execution of any instrument or
writing, (iii) the form of any vote passed at a meeting of Trustees or
Shareholders, (iv) the fact that the number of Trustees or Shareholders present
at any meeting or executing any written instrument satisfies the requirements
of the Declaration, (v) the form of any By-Laws adopted by or the identity of
any officers elected by the Trustees, or (vi) the existence of any fact or
facts which in any manner relates to the affairs of the Trust, shall be
conclusive evidence as to the matters so certified in favor of any Person
dealing with the Trustees and their successors.

    Section 9.6. Provisions in Conflict with Law or Regulations.

    (a) The provisions of the Declaration are severable, and if the Trustees
shall determine, with the advice of counsel, that any of such provisions is in
conflict with the 1940 Act, the regulated investment company or other
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or with other
applicable laws and regulations, the conflicting provision shall be deemed
never to have constituted a part of the Declaration; provided, however, that
such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of the
Declaration or render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to
such determination.

    (b) If any provision of the Declaration shall be held invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
attach only to such provision in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner
affect such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of the
Declaration in any jurisdiction.

                                      22


    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this instrument as of the
day and year first written above.
