This Agreement is made and to be performed principally in the State of Massachusetts, and except insofar as the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or other federal laws and regulations may be controlling, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
