include, without limitation, the payment by PRM to investment dealers of
commissions on the sale of Class C shares, as set forth in the then
current Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of the Trust
and the payment of a service fee of up to 0.25% of such net asset value
for the purposes of maintaining or improving services provided to
shareholders by PRM and investment dealers. Such fees shall be payable
for each month within 15 days after the close of such month. A majority
of the Qualified Trustees, as defined below, may, from time to time,
reduce the amount of such payments, or may suspend the operation of the

thereunder) of both (i) the Trustees of the Trust, and (ii) the
Qualified Trustees of the Trust, cast in person at a meeting called for

of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Qualified Trustees or by
vote of a majority of the outstanding Class C shares of the Trust, on
not more than 60 days' written notice to any other party to the
agreement; and
(b) that such agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment.
Section 7. This Plan may not be amended to increase materially the
amount of distribution expenses permitted pursuant to Section 1 hereof
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding Class C shares of
the Trust and all material amendments to this Plan shall be approved in
the manner provided for approval of this Plan in Section 2(b).

affirmative vote, at a duly called and held meeting of Class C
shareholders of the Trust, (i) of the holders of 67% or more of the
Class C shares of the Trust present (in person or by proxy) and entitled
to vote at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding Class C shares of the Trust entitled to vote at such meeting
are present in person or by proxy, or (ii) of the holders of more than
50% of the outstanding Class C shares of the Trust entitled to vote at
such meeting, whichever is less, and (c) the terms "assignment" and
"interested person" shall have the respective meanings specified in the

as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
