PHOENIX EQUITY PLANNING CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENT TO PHOENIX FAMILY OF FUNDS
SALES AGREEMENT
It is hereby agreed that this AGREEMENT, dated this __________ day
of __________, 19__, between ________________________________________ ("Dealer")
and Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("Distributor"), supplements and amends
the Sales Agreement between Dealer and Distributor dated by Distributor
_______________________ 19__ ("Sales Agreement').
WHEREAS, Dealer wishes to use shares of the Funds in a fee-based
program made available by Dealer to clients of Dealer (the "Fee-Based Program");
WHEREAS, Dealer wishes to afford its fee-based clients the
opportunity to qualify for the ability to purchase shares of the Funds at net
asset value; and
WHEREAS, Distributor is willing to allow Dealer to purchase shares
of the Funds for clients in the Fee-Based Program subject to the provisions of
this agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, Dealer
and Distributor hereby agree as follows:
1. Dealer may sell shares of any Funds made available by
Distributor, from time to time, at net asset value to bona fide clients of
Dealer for use solely in their Fee-Based Program. Dealer will earn no concession
or commission on any such sale.
2. Distributor, after consulting Dealer, will determine, from time
to time, which Funds it will make available to Dealer for use in the Fee-Based
Program. Dealer will comply with all provisions of the Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information of each Fund.
1
3. All shares made available to Dealer under the Fee-Based Program
must be purchased by Dealer for the benefit of Dealer's clients participating in
its Fee-Based Program under which Dealer provides portfolio management and other
services to such clients for a fee. Such fee to be paid in connection with
investment in the Funds shall at all times be at a level acceptable to
Distributor. Dealer acknowledges that it has sent the Distributor the current
fee schedule for the Fee-Based Program and Dealer agrees to notify Distributor
at least thirty (30) days in advance in writing of any amendment to such fee
schedule. The current fee schedule is attached. Dealer shall not prepare, use or
distribute brochures, written materials or advertising in any form that refers
to sales of the Funds as no-load or at net asset value except, in the case of
brochures, it may refer to the Funds as available at net asset value under the
Fee-Based Program if the fees and expenses of the Fee-Based Program are given at
least equal prominence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with
explaining the fees and expenses of the Fee-Based Program, representatives of
Dealer may describe to customers the option of purchasing Fund shares through
the Fee-Based Program at net asset value.
4. Distributor warrants that all necessary disclosures regarding
the sale of shares at net asset value will be set forth in the Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information of the Funds available under this Agreement.
5. Dealer may maintain either an omnibus account(s) solely for the
clients of its Fee-Based program or may maintain separate accounts for each
client of its Fee-Based Program with the Fund's transfer agent. If an omnibus
account(s) is maintained, Dealer shall be solely responsible for meeting all
legal obligations with respect to each beneficial owner including, but not
limited to, the delivery of proxies, annual and semi-annual reports and other
materials.
6. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the State of Connecticut. This Agreement shall not relieve
Dealer or Distributor from any obligations either may have under any other
agreements between them (except with respect to the payment of service fees),
including but not limited to the Sales Agreement, which is incorporated by
reference herein and shall control in case of any conflict with this Agreement.
7. Distributor is not endorsing, recommending or otherwise involved
in providing any investment product or advisory service of Dealer (including but
not limited to the Fee-Based Program). Distributor is merely affording Dealer
the opportunity to use shares of the Funds distributed by Distributor as an
investment medium for the Fee-Based Program.
8. This Agreement is not exclusive and may be terminated by either
party upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party. It shall
terminate automatically upon termination of the Sales Agreement between the
parties. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument, signed by
both parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the date set
forth above by a duly authorized officer of each party.
