SHAREHOLDERS

Section 2.01. Annual Meetings: The Corporation shall not be required to hold an annual meeting of its shareholders in any year unless the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires an election of directors by shareholders. In the event that the Corporation shall be so required to hold an annual meeting, such meeting shall be held at a date and time set by the Board of Directors, which date shall be no later than 120 days after the occurrence of the event requiring the meeting.

Any shareholders’ meeting held in accordance with the preceding sentence shall for all purposes constitute the annual meeting of shareholders for the fiscal year of the corporation in which the meeting is held. At any such meeting, the shareholders shall elect directors to hold the offices of any directors who have held office for more than one year or who have been elected by the Board of Directors to fill vacancies which result from any cause. Except as the Articles of Incorporation or statute provides otherwise, Directors may transact any business within the powers of the Corporation as may properly come before the meeting. Any business of the Corporation may be transacted at the annual meeting without being specially designated in the notice, except such business as is specifically required by statute to be stated in the notice. [ MGCL, Section 2-501 ]

Section 2.02. Special Meetings: Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Chair of the Board, the President, any Vice President, or by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the shareholders shall be called by the Secretary on the written request of shareholders entitled to cast (a) in the case of a meeting for the purpose of removing a director, at least ten (10) percent and (b) in the case of a meeting for any other purpose, at least 25 percent, in each case of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, provided that any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on, and the shareholders requesting the meeting shall have paid to the Corporation the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof, which the Secretary shall determine and specify to such shareholders. Unless requested by shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted upon at any special meeting of the shareholders held during the preceding twelve (12) months. [ MGCL, Section 2-502 ]

Section 2.03. Place of Meetings: All shareholders’ meetings shall be held at such place within the United States as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. [ MGCL, Section 2-503 ]

Such notice shall be personally delivered to the shareholder, or left at the shareholder’s residence or usual place of business, or mailed to the shareholder at this address or transmitted to the shareholder by electronic mail to any electronic mail address of the shareholder or by any other electronic means in all cases as such address appears on the records of the Corporation. No notice of a shareholders’ meeting need be given to any shareholder who shall sign a written waiver of such notice, whether before or after the meeting, which is filed with the records of shareholders’ meetings, or to any shareholder who is present at the meeting in person or by proxy. Notice of adjournment of a shareholders’ meeting to another time or place need not be given if such time and place are announced at the meeting, unless the adjournment is for more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the original record date. [ MGCL, Sections 2-504, 2-511(d) ]

Section 2.05. Voting - In General: Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, or as required by provisions of the Investment Company Act with respect to the vote of a series, if any, of the Corporation, at every shareholders’ meeting, each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock of the Corporation validly issued and outstanding and held by such shareholder, except that no shares held by the Corporation shall be entitled to a vote. Fractional shares shall be entitled to fractional votes. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Articles of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, or as required by provisions of the Investment Company Act, a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes before the meeting. The vote upon any question shall be by ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to vote, but, unless such a request is made, voting may be conducted in any way approved by the meeting. [ MGCL, Sections 2-214(a)(i), 2-506(a)(2), 2-507(a), 2-509(b) ]

No candidate for the office of Director shall be appointed as an inspector.

Section 2.06. Shareholders Entitled to Vote: If, pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof, a record date has been fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any shareholders’ meeting, each shareholder of the Corporation shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy, each share or fraction of a share of stock outstanding in the shareholder’s name on the books of the Corporation on such record date. If no record date has been fixed for the determination of shareholders, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the closer date to the meeting, or, if notice is waived by all shareholders, at the close of business on the tenth (10th) day next preceding the date of the meeting.

The authorization may be transmitted by a telegram, cablegram, datagram, electronic mail, or any other electronic or telephonic means. A copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission may be substituted for the original writing or transmission for any purpose for which the original writing or transmission could be used.

Section 2.08. Quorum: The presence at any shareholders’ meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. [ MGCL, Section 2-506(c) ]

Such stock ledger may be in written form, or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time for visual inspection. Any one or more persons, who together are and for at least six (6) months have been shareholders of record of at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, may submit (unless the Corporation at the time of the request maintains a duplicate stock ledger at its principal office) a written request to any officer of the Corporation or its resident agent in Maryland for a list of the shareholders of the Corporation. Within twenty (20) days after such a request, there shall be prepared and filed at the Corporation’s principal office a list, verified under oath by an officer of the Corporation or by its stock transfer agent or registrar, which sets forth the name and address of each shareholder and the number of shares of each class which the shareholder holds. [ MGCL, Sections 2-209, 2-513 ]

The Corporation shall pay any reasonable expenses so incurred by such Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent that such advance payment may be lawful under Maryland law. Subject to any applicable limitations and requirements set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and in these By-Laws, any payment of indemnification or advance of expenses shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Maryland law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall protect or purport to protect any Indemnitee against any liability to which the Indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Indemnitee’s office (“Disabling Conduct”).

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, no indemnification shall be made by the Corporation to any Indemnitee unless:

(a)            there is a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the Proceeding was brought that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or

(b)            in the absence of such a decision, there is a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, which determination shall be made by:

(i)            the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii)           an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, any advance of expenses by the Corporation to any Indemnitee shall be made only upon the undertaking by such Indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as above provided, and only if one of the following conditions is met:

(a)            the Indemnitee provides a security for the Indemnitee’s undertaking; or

(b)            the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or

(c)            there is a determination, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the Indemnitee will ultimately be found entitled to indemnification, which determination shall be made by:

(i)            a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii)           an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
