BANK SELLING AGREEMENT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

MBSC Securities Corporation (“we or “us”) is the principal underwriter and exclusive agent for the continuous distribution of the shares of beneficial interest or common stock of open-end registered investment companies managed, advised or administered by The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”) or its subsidiaries or affiliates (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) pursuant to the terms of a Distribution Agreement between us and the Funds. You, the firm specified on the signature page hereto (“you”), are a “bank” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). We agree to allow you to make shares of the Funds available to your customers in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used herein the term “Prospectus” shall mean the full, statutory prospectus (the “Statutory Prospectus”) and related statement of additional information (the “SAI”) incorporated therein by reference (as amended or supplemented) of each of the respective Funds included in the then currently effective registration statement (or post-effective amendment thereto) (the “Registration Statement”) of each such Fund, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

In consideration for the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:


1	.	Agency.

		You are authorized to act as the Funds’ agent solely for the limited purpose of accepting your
		customers’ purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares. Other than as specifically set forth
		herein, with respect to any and all transactions in the shares of any Fund pursuant to this
		Agreement, it is understood and agreed in each case that:


(i)	you shall be acting solely as agent for the account of your customer;
(ii)	each transaction shall be initiated solely upon the order of your customer;
(iii)	we shall execute transactions only upon receiving instructions from you acting as agent for
	your customer;
(iv)	as between you and your customer, your customer will have full beneficial ownership of all
	Fund shares; and
(v)	each transaction shall be for the account of your customer and not for your own account.


2	.	Orders; Payment for Shares; Sales Charge Reductions.


(a)	All orders for the purchase of any Fund shares shall be executed at the then current public
	offering price per share (i.e., the net asset value per share plus the applicable sales charge,
	if any) and all orders for the redemption of any Fund shares shall be executed at the net
	asset value per share, less the applicable deferred sales charge, redemption fee, or similar
	charge or fee, if any, in each case as described in the Prospectus of such Fund. The
	minimum initial purchase order and minimum subsequent purchase order shall be as set
	forth in the Prospectus of such Fund. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by us

7/2015


	or the Fund at our or the Fund’s sole discretion, and orders are effective only upon receipt
	in proper form. We reserve the right, at our discretion and without notice, to suspend the
	sale of shares or withdraw entirely the sale of shares of any or all of the Funds.

(b)	The procedures relating to all orders and the handling thereof will be subject to the terms of
	the Prospectus of each Fund and our written instructions to you from time to time. No
	conditional orders will be accepted. You agree to place orders with us for the same number
	of shares and at the same price as any orders you receive from your customers. You shall
	not withhold placing orders received from your customers so as to profit yourself as a result
	of such withholding. Moreover, in ordering shares of any Fund, you shall rely solely and
	conclusively on the representations contained in the Prospectus of such Fund.


(i)	You shall not effect any transactions (including, without limitation, any purchases,
	exchanges and redemptions) in any Fund shares registered in the name of, or
	beneficially owned by, any customer unless such customer has granted you full
	right, power and authority to effect such transactions on such customer's behalf;
	and

(ii)	We, each Fund, the Transfer Agent, as such term is defined in the Prospectus of
	each Fund, and our and their respective officers, directors, trustees, agents,
	employees and affiliates shall not be liable for, and shall be fully indemnified and
	held harmless by you from and against, any and all claims, demands, liabilities and
	expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may be
	incurred by us or any of the foregoing persons entitled to indemnification from you
	hereunder arising out of or in connection with the execution of any transactions in
	Fund shares registered in the name of, or beneficially owned by, any customer in
	reliance upon any oral or written instructions reasonably believed to be genuine
	and to have been given by or on behalf of you.


(d)	You agree to pay for purchase orders for Fund shares placed by you in accordance with the
	terms of the Prospectus of the applicable Fund. In particular, on or before the settlement
	date of each purchase order for shares of any Fund, you agree to remit to an account with
	the Transfer Agent that is designated by us an amount equal to: (i) the then current public
	offering price of the shares of such Fund being purchased less the dealer reallowance, if
	any, with respect to such purchase order as determined by us in accordance with the terms
	of the Prospectus of the applicable Fund or (ii) the then current public offering price of the
	shares of such Fund being purchased without deduction for the dealer reallowance, if any,
	with respect to such purchase order as determined by us in accordance with the terms of the
	Prospectus of the applicable Fund, in which case the dealer reallowance, if any, shall be
	payable to you by us on at least a monthly basis. You may elect to waive the dealer
	reallowance, to the extent permitted by the Prospectus of the applicable Fund. Neither we
	nor the Funds are responsible for correcting the payment or assessment of an incorrect
	dealer reallowance due to your failure to fulfill your obligations under this Agreement.

(e)	If any Fund shares sold to you under the terms of this Agreement are sold with a sales
	charge and are redeemed for the account of the Fund or are tendered for redemption within
	seven (7) business days after the date of purchase:

7/2015


(i)	You shall forthwith refund to us the full dealer reallowance received by you on the
	sale; and

(ii)	We shall forthwith pay to the Fund our portion of the sales charge on the sale
	which had been retained by us and shall also pay to the Fund the amount refunded
	by you.


(f)	If payment for any purchase order is not received in accordance with the terms of the
	Prospectus of the applicable Fund, we reserve the right, without notice, to cancel the sale
	and to hold you responsible for any loss sustained as a result thereof.

(g)	You represent that you have adopted, and will at all times during the term of the Agreement
	maintain, reasonable and appropriate procedures designed to ensure that any and all orders
	to purchase, redeem, transfer or exchange Fund shares received by you from customers
	treated as received by you by the close of trading (the “Close of Trading”) on the New
	York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on a day the NYSE
	is open for regular business (a “Business Day”) are received by you prior to the Close of
	Trading on such Business Day and are not modified after the Close of Trading and that all
	such orders received, but not rescinded, by the Close of Trading are communicated to us or
	our designee for that Business Day. Each transmission of Fund share orders by you shall
	constitute a representation that such orders are accurate and complete and are as received
	by you by the Close of Trading on the Business Day for which the orders are to be priced
	and that such transmission includes all Fund share orders received from customers, but not
	rescinded, by the Close of Trading. You will maintain records sufficient to document the
	date and time of receipt of orders from customers.

(h)	In the case of any Fund shares sold with a sales charge, customers may be entitled to a
	reduction or waiver of the sales charge on purchases in accordance with the terms and
	conditions set forth in the Prospectus of the applicable Fund, and your dealer reallowance,
	if any, will be paid based upon the reduced sales charge, except as otherwise described in
	the Fund’s Prospectus. The sales charge and/or dealer reallowance may be changed at any
	time in our sole discretion upon written notice to you.

(i)	Unless at the time of transmitting an order you advise us or the Transfer Agent to the
	contrary, the shares of a Fund ordered will be deemed to be the total holdings of the
	specified customer in the Funds. Moreover, you agree to furnish to us or the Transfer Agent
	sufficient information to permit our confirmation of qualification for a reduced or waived
	sales charge, and acceptance of the purchase order is subject to such confirmation.


3	.	Delivery of Fund Prospectuses and SAIs.


(a)	In connection with offers to sell and sales of shares of each Fund, you agree to deliver or
	cause to be delivered to each person to whom any such offer or sale is made, at or prior to
	the time of such offer or sale, a copy of the Statutory Prospectus or the Fund’s current
	“summary prospectus” (as defined in Rule 498 under the 1933 Act) (the “Summary
	Prospectus”), each as filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1933 Act. Delivery shall include
	electronic delivery in accordance with publicly-available SEC interpretations. In addition,
	you agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to each person to whom any such offer or sale
	is made, upon request directed to you: (i) a copy of the SAI of the Fund or (ii) a copy of the

7/2015


	Statutory Prospectus with respect to those persons who initially received a copy of the
	Summary Prospectus.

(b)	We agree to supply you with copies of the Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and
	SAI relating to each Fund in reasonable quantities upon request in connection with your
	delivery obligations set forth in Section 3(a) above.


4	.	Shareholder, Administrative or Distribution-Related Services.


(a)	You agree to serve as a service agent or to provide distribution assistance for all of your
	customers who purchase shares of any and all Funds in accordance with the terms of this
	Agreement and subject to each Fund’s Service Plan, Shareholder Services Plan,
	Distribution Plan or similar plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”), as
	applicable and as described in the relevant Prospectuses. In consideration of the
	shareholder, administrative and distribution services provided by you as described in this
	Section 4, we shall pay you such fees as may be determined by us, subject to and in
	accordance with, each Fund’s Plan(s), as applicable. In addition:


(i)	if you are to receive fees from us pursuant to a Fund’s Service Plan or Shareholder
	Services Plan, you agree to provide shareholder and administrative services for
	your customers who own shares of the Fund, which services may include, without
	limitation: assisting customers in changing dividend options, account designations
	and addresses; establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts and records;
	processing purchase and redemption transactions; providing periodic statements
	and/or reports showing a customer’s account balance and integrating such
	statements with those of other transactions and balances in the customer’s other
	accounts serviced by you; arranging for bank wires; and providing such other
	information and services as we reasonably may request, to the extent you are
	permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation;

(ii)	if you are to receive fees from us pursuant to a Fund’s Distribution Plan, you agree
	to provide distribution assistance in connection with the sale of shares of the Fund
	and/or shareholder servicing; and

(iii)	you shall provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities and
	personnel (which may be all or any part of the space, equipment and facilities
	currently used in your business, or all or any personnel employed by you) as is
	necessary or beneficial for providing information and services to each Fund’s
	shareholders, and to assist us in servicing accounts of your customers. You shall
	transmit promptly to your customers all communications sent to you for
	transmittal to shareholders by or on behalf of us, any Fund, or any Fund’s
	investment adviser, custodian or transfer or dividend disbursing agent.


(b)	The fees payable to you as described in this Section 4 shall be paid monthly in arrears
	based on the average daily net asset value of customers’ Fund shares held during the
	relevant period. You understand that any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be
	paid only so long as the relevant Plans are in effect. You agree that no director, trustee,
	officer or shareholder of a Fund shall be liable individually for the performance of the
	obligations hereunder or for any such payments. It is recognized that certain parties may
	not be permitted to collect fees under a Plan and, if you are such a party, you acknowledge

7/2015


	and agree that you will not collect such fees. Your acceptance of such fees shall constitute
	your representation that receipt of such fees is lawful.

(c)	In extraordinary circumstances, which are defined for purposes of this Agreement as
	periods of very low interest rates during which Dreyfus, from time to time, is waiving
	receipt of a portion of its management fee and/or paying Fund operating expenses directly
	in order for the Dreyfus-managed money market Funds to generate a minimum 1-day yield
	of up to 0.05% (on a subsidized basis), MBSC may, in its discretion, reduce the fees
	payable to you as described in this Section 4 with respect to such money market Fund,
	potentially to as low as zero. The amount of any fee rate reductions will be derived from the
	average percentage reduction in total money market Fund operating expenses, as
	determined by MBSC on a month-to-month basis. When such expense limitations are no
	longer in effect for the applicable money market Funds, MBSC will immediately resume
	payments at the original fee levels.

(a)

Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party, its several officers and directors, any person who controls such other party within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and, when you are the Indemnifying Party, the Funds (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating or

7/2015

defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which the Indemnified Parties may incur under the 1933 Act, or under common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon:


(i)	any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Indemnifying
	Party herein;

(ii)	any failure by the Indemnifying Party to perform its obligations at set forth herein;

	several officers and directors, and any person who controls you within the meaning of
	Section 15 of the 1933 Act, as the Indemnified Parties, free and harmless from and against
	any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating or
	defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection
	therewith) which you may incur under the 1933 Act, or under common law or otherwise,

	fact contained in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or arising out of or based
	upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact required to be stated in
	either any Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or necessary to make the statements in
	any thereof not misleading; provided, however, that our agreement to indemnify you, your
	officers and directors, and any such controlling person under this Section 10(b) shall not be

	conditioned upon the Indemnifying Party being notified of any action brought against the
	Indemnified Parties, such notification to be given in writing received by the Indemnifying
	Party at its address as specified in Section 15 of this Agreement within seven (7) days after
	the summons or other first legal process shall have been served. The failure to so notify the

	liability which it may have to the person against whom such action is brought by reason of
	any such breach, negligence, bad faith, misfeasance or untrue, or alleged untrue, statement
	or omission, or alleged omission, otherwise than on account of Indemnifying Party’s

	and retain counsel, the defendant or defendants in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses
	of any additional counsel retained by any of them; but in case the Indemnifying Party does

	Indemnified Parties.

	Fund shares and termination of this Agreement. This agreement of indemnity will inure
	exclusively to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and their respective estates, successors
	and assigns.

(e)	NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY,
	THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR EXEMPLARY,

Pursuant to Regulation S-P promulgated by the SEC under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (“Reg.
