Terms defined in the Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Distributor is hereby added as a party to the Agreement for the purposes of effecting all fee payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
2. Section 5 of the Agreement entitled “12b-1 Fees” is hereby amended as follows:
