INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
1. Introduction
------------
The Fund, on behalf of its series listed in Appendix A, as may be
amended from time to time, and Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (the
"Distributor"), a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, have entered into a Distribution Agreement pursuant to which the
Distributor acts as principal underwriter of each series and class of shares of
the Fund for sale to the permissible purchasers. The Trustees of the Fund have
determined to adopt this amended and restated Distribution Plan (the "Plan"), in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Act") with respect to Class C shares of the Fund and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the
Fund and its Class C shareholders.

amount on an annual basis equal to 0.75% of the average daily value of the net
assets of any series of the Fund's Class C shares, as compensation for
distribution services. Distribution services include, but are not limited to,
payment of compensation, including incentive compensation to securities dealers
and financial institutions and organizations; payment of compensation to and
expenses of personnel of the Distributor who support the distribution of the
Class C shares; expenses related to the cost of financing or providing such
financing from the Distributor's or an affiliate's resources in connection with
the Distributor's payment of such distribution expenses and the payment of other
direct distribution costs such as the cost of sales literature, advertising and
prospectuses.

approved by a majority vote of the Trustees of the Fund and of the Disinterested

party to the agreement and (b) such agreement shall terminate automatically in
the event of its assignment.
8. Termination
