Committee Resources

The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain (or obtain the advice of) and terminate compensation consultants, outside legal counsel and such other advisors as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to assist it in carrying out its duties and responsibilities under this Charter.  The Committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser retained by it.  However, the Committee shall not be required to implement or act consistently with the advice or recommendations of its compensation consultant, legal counsel or other advisor to the Committee, and the authority granted in this Charter shall not affect the ability or obligation of the Committee to exercise its own judgment in fulfillment of its duties under this Charter.  The Trust shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any compensation consultants, outside legal counsel and any other advisors retained by the Committee.

In retaining or seeking advice from compensation consultants, outside counsel and other advisors (other than the Trust’s in-house counsel), the Committee shall take into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management, including the following factors:

• the provision of other services to the Trust by the person that employs the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser;
   
• the amount of fees received from the Trust by the person that employs the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser, as a percentage of the total revenue of the person that employs the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser;
   
• the policies and procedures of the person that employs the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest;
   
• any business or personal relationship of the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser with a member of the compensation committee;
   
• any stock of the Trust owned by the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser; and
   
• any business or personal relationship of the compensation consultant, legal counsel, other adviser or the person employing the adviser with an executive officer of the Trust.

After considering the independence factors outlined above, the Committee may retain, or receive advice from, any compensation consultant, outside legal counsel or other advisor it prefers, including ones that are not independent.  The Committee will evaluate whether any compensation consultant retained or to be retained by it has any conflict of interest that shall be required to be disclosed in the Trust’s proxy statement in accordance with Item 407(e)(3)(iv) of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC.
