PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF DISTRIBUTION
The Plan of Distribution ("Plan") and the Agreement of Distribution
("Agreement") effective November 7, 2008, amended and restated July 13, 2009
(together "Plan and Agreement"), is by and between RiverSource Fund
Distributors, Inc. ("RiverSource Fund Distributors" or the "Distributor"), a
Delaware corporation, principal underwriter of the Corporations and Trusts
("Registrants") listed in Schedule A pursuant to a separate distribution
agreement ("Distribution Agreement"), for distribution services to the Funds,
and the Registrants, each acting separately on behalf of its underlying series
(each a "fund" and collectively the "funds") and share classes, listed in
Schedule A. The terms "Fund" or "Funds" are used to refer to either the
Registrants or the underlying series as context requires.
The Plan and Agreement are separate and each has been adopted or approved by
members of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the "Board") of the Funds who are
not interested persons of the Funds and have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Plan and Agreement, or any related agreement
("independent Board members"), and all of the members of the Board, in person,
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan and Agreement.
1. Reimbursement Plan
1.1 The Funds will reimburse the Distributor for expenses incurred in
connection with distributing the Funds' shares, providing personal
service to shareholders, and maintaining shareholder accounts, as set
forth in the fee schedule included in Schedule A.
2. Services Provided and Expenses Borne by Distributor
2.1. The Distributor shall provide distribution and underwriting services
and shall bear all distribution related expenses to the extent
specified in the Distribution Agreement.
2.2. Each Fund recognizes and agrees that the Distributor (or an affiliate
of the Distributor) may compensate financial intermediaries, including
brokers, dealers, banks, registered investment advisers, financial
advisors, retirement plan administrators, third party administrators
and any others having a selling, administration or similar agreement
with the Distributor (a "financial intermediary") for providing
services to record or beneficial owners of Fund shares or otherwise in
connection with the distribution or servicing of Fund shares.
3. Distribution Fees and Service Fees
3.1 Service Fees. As partial consideration for the shareholder and account
maintenance services performed by the Distributor directly or through
a financial intermediary in the performance of its obligations under
an agreement with the Distributor, the Funds shall reimburse the
Distributor at a rate not to exceed the rates set forth in Schedule A.
These services include assisting in establishing and maintaining
shareholder accounts and records, assisting with purchase, redemption
and exchange requests, arranging for bank wires, monitoring dividend
payments from the Funds on behalf of shareholders, forwarding certain
shareholder communications from Funds to shareholders, receiving and
responding to inquiries and answering questions regarding the Funds,
and aiding in maintaining the investment of shareholders in the Funds.
3.2. Distribution Fees. As partial consideration for the services performed
as specified in the Distribution Agreement and expenses incurred in
the performance of its obligations directly or, through a financial
intermediary, under the Distribution Agreement, the Funds shall
reimburse the Distributor at a rate not to exceed the rates set forth
in Schedule A. Distribution fees reimburse the Distributor for its
expenses incurred in connection with any activity that is principally
intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. These expenses include
payment of
RiverSource Fund Distributors - 12b-1 Plan and Agreement
Page 2
commissions (including pre-paid commissions) to financial
intermediaries for the sale of Fund shares, including interest or
imputed interest on pre-paid commissions, printing prospectuses and
reports used for sales purposes, the preparation, printing and
distribution of advertising and sales literature, personnel, travel,
office expense and equipment, and other distribution-related expenses.
3.3. Reimbursement. Expenses incurred as a result of services provided
under Sections 3.1 and 3.2, may be carried forward as unreimbursed
expenses and shall continue to be eligible for reimbursement subject
to termination of the Agreement or the Plan as provided under Section
8.1.
3.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan and Agreement, the
Funds are not obligated and are in no way liable to make any payment
to any person or entity other than directly to the Distributor.
4. Reports
4.1 The Distributor agrees to monitor implementation of the Plan and the
level and quality of services it provides.
4.2 The Distributor agrees to provide at least quarterly an analysis of
expenses under this Agreement, including any payments to financial
intermediaries, and to meet with representatives of the Funds as
reasonably requested to provide additional information.
5. Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
5.1. For Funds with Class B shares, for each purchase of Class B shares,
the Class B shares will be converted to Class A shares in the ninth
year of ownership.
5.2. For Funds with Class B shares, the Funds understand that if a
shareholder redeems Class B shares before they are converted to Class
A shares, the Distributor will impose a sales charge directly on the
redemption proceeds to cover those distribution expenses (including
pre-paid commissions) it has previously incurred on the sale of those
shares.
5.3. For Funds with Class C shares, the Funds understand that if a
shareholder redeems Class C shares in the first year of ownership, the
Distributor will impose a sales charge directly on the redemption
proceeds to cover those distribution expenses (including pre-paid
commissions) it has previously incurred on the sale of those shares.
6. Duration of the Plan and Agreement
6.1. The Plan and Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more
than one year provided it is approved at least annually in the manner
provided in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
7. Amendments to the Plan and Agreement
7.1. Neither the Plan nor the Agreement may be amended to increase
materially the amount that may be paid by the Funds without the
approval of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the
relevant class. Neither the Plan nor the Agreement may be amended in
any other material respect except with the approval of a majority of
independent Board members. Amendments required to conform the Plan or
the Agreement to changes in rule 12b-1 or to other changes in
RiverSource Fund Distributors - 12b-1 Plan and Agreement
Page 3
the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act are not
deemed to be material amendments.
8. Termination
8.1. This Agreement may be terminated as to any class of the Funds at any
time without payment of any penalty by a vote of a majority of the
independent Board members, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the relevant class, or by the Distributor. The Plan shall
continue until terminated by action of the independent Board members,
and the related Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.
9. Severability
9.1. The provisions of this Plan are severable with respect to each class
of shares offered by a Fund and with respect to each Fund.
10. Massachusetts Business Trusts.
10.1. For each Fund that is organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust, a
copy of the Declaration of Trust, together with all amendments, is on
file in the office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been
authorized by the Trustees and the Agreement has been signed by an
authorized officer of the Fund. It is expressly agreed that the
obligations of the Fund under this Agreement shall not be binding upon
any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or
employees of the Fund, personally, but bind only the assets and
property of the Fund, as provided in the Declaration of Trust.
11. Applicable Law
11.1. This Plan and Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Minnesota.
