period, is greater than the Fund’s
average annual total return in relation to
the change in NAV over the 2-year

average annual taxable income or total
return over the 2-year period, as
described in condition V.B, or such
longer period as the Board deems
appropriate; and
(c) Based upon that determination,
will approve or disapprove the
