COMPENSATION TO THE UNDERWRITER. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Underwriter will receive as compensation for services it performs hereunder:
(a) The Underwriter shall be entitled to receive or retain the front-end sales charge imposed in connection with sales of Fund shares, as set forth in Schedule A hereto. Up to the entire amount of the front-end sales charge with respect to the Fund may be reallowed by the Underwriter to broker-dealers and participating financial institutions in connection with their sale of Fund shares. The amount of the front-end sales charge may be retained or deducted by the Underwriter from any sums received by it in payment for shares so sold. If such amount is not deducted by the Underwriter from such payments, such amount shall be paid to the Underwriter by the Fund not later than five business days after the close of any calendar quarter during which any such sales were made by the Underwriter and payment received by the Fund.
(b) The Underwriter shall be entitled to receive or retain any contingent deferred sales charge imposed in connection with any redemption of Fund shares, as set forth in Schedule A hereto.
(c) Pursuant to the Fund's Plans of Distribution adopted by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plans"), the Fund shall pay the Underwriter a total fee each month equal to .25% per annum of the average daily net assets represented by Class A shares of the Fund and 1.0% per annum of the average daily net assets represented by Class B and Class C shares of the Fund to cover Distribution Expenses and Shareholder Servicing Costs. As determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Fund, a portion of such fee for each Class may be designated as a "distribution fee" designed to cover Distribution Expenses, and a portion may be designated as a "shareholder servicing fee" designed to cover Shareholder Servicing Costs. Until further action by the Board of Directors, all of such fees for Class A shall share be designated as a "shareholder servicing fee" designed to cover only Shareholder Servicing Costs; and all of such fees for Class B and Class C shall be designated as a "distribution fee" designed to cover only Distribution Expenses, except that a portion of such fee for both Class B and Class C, equal to .25% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C, shall be designated as a "shareholder servicing fee" designed to cover only Shareholder Servicing Costs. Average daily net assets shall be computed in accordance with the Prospectus of the Fund. Amounts payable to the Underwriter under the Plans may exceed or be less than the Underwriter's actual Distribution Expenses and Shareholder Servicing Costs. In the event such Distribution Expenses and Shareholder Servicing Costs exceed amounts payable to the Underwriter under the Plans, the Underwriter shall not be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund.
(d) In each year during which this Agreement remains in effect, the Underwriter will prepare and furnish to the Board of Directors of the Fund, and the Board will review, on a quarterly basis, written reports complying with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act that set forth the amounts expended under this Agreement and the Plans and the purposes for which those expenditures were made.
