Common use of Class B Shares Clause in Contracts

Class B Shares. In accordance with the Plan, the Trust in respect of each Fund shall pay to the Distributor or, at the Distributor’s direction, to a third party, monthly in arrears on or prior to the third business day of the following calendar month, a fee (the “Class B Distribution Fee”) equal to the average daily net assets of Class B Shares multiplied by that portion of 0.75% that the number of days in the month bears to 365. The Trust in respect of each Fund agrees to withhold from redemption proceeds of the Class B Shares, any contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) payable with respect to the Class B Shares, as provided in such Fund’s Prospectus, and to pay the same over to the Distributor or, at the Distributor’s direction, to a third party or such party’s designee, at the time the redemption proceeds are payable to the holder of such shares redeemed. Payment of these CDSC amounts to the Distributor is not contingent upon the adoption or continuation of any Plan. The Distributor shall be considered to have performed all services so as to entitle it to the right to the payment of the Class B Distribution Fee so long as the Plan with regard to such Class B Shares continues pursuant to its terms and the right to payment of any CDSC with respect to each Class B Share upon the settlement date of the redemption of such Class B Share. The provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Plan (in effect on the date hereof) are hereby incorporated by reference into this Section 4(a) with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety.
