the Company, written agreements based substantially on the form attached hereto
as Appendix A or any other form duly-approved by the Company's Board of Trustees
("Agreements") with broker/dealers, banks and other financial institutions that
are dealers of record or holders of record or which have a servicing
relationship ("Servicing Agents") with the beneficial owners of shares in any of

fees under this Plan. All expenses incurred by the Portfolios in connection with
the Agreements and the implementation of this Plan shall be borne entirely by
the holders of the shares of the particular Portfolio involved. If more than one
Portfolio is involved and expenses are not directly attributable to shares of a
particular Portfolio, then the expenses may be allocated between or among the
shares of the Portfolios in a manner determined by the Board.
Section 2. The Company's administrator shall monitor the arrangements
pertaining to the Company's Agreements with Servicing Agents. The Company's
administrator shall not, however, be obligated by this Plan to recommend, and
the Company shall not be obligated to execute, any Agreement with any qualifying
Servicing Agents.
Section 3. So long as this Plan is in effect, the Company's administrator
shall provide to the Company's Board of Trustees, and the Trustees shall review,
at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended pursuant to this
Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made.
Section 4. This Plan shall become effective on January 1, 2004 and unless
sooner terminated, this Plan shall continue in effect until October 31, 2004 and
thereafter for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is
specifically approved by a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons," as
1
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, of the Company and have no direct
or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan or in any Agreement
related to this Plan (the "Disinterested Trustees") pursuant to a vote cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.
Section 5. This Plan may be amended at any time with respect to any
Portfolio by the Company's Board of Trustees, provided that any material
amendment of the terms of this Plan (including a material increase of the fee
payable hereunder) shall become effective only upon the approvals set forth in
Section 4.
Section 6. This Plan is terminable at any time with respect to any
Portfolio by vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees.
Section 7. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of
those Trustees who are not "interested persons (as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940) of the Company shall be committed to the discretion of such
non-interested Trustees.
Section 8. The Company will preserve copies of this Plan, Agreements, and
any written reports regarding this Plan presented to the Board of Trustees for a
period of not less than six years.

Section 4. Neither you nor any of your officers, employees or agents are
authorized to make any representations concerning us or the shares except those

may be authorized by our distributor or us in writing.
Section 5. For all purposes of this Agreement you will be deemed to be an
independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as agent for us in any
matter or in any respect. By your written acceptance of this Agreement, you

Section 8. We may enter into other similar Agreements with any other
person or persons without your consent.
Section 9. By your written acceptance of this Agreement, you represent,
warrant and agree that: (i) in no event will any of the services provided by you
hereunder be primarily intended to result in the sale of any shares issued by
us; and (ii) the compensation payable to you hereunder, together with any other
compensation you receive in connection with the investment of your Customers'
assets in shares of the Portfolios, will be disclosed by you to your Customers
to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations, will be authorized by
your Customers and will not result in an excessive or unreasonable fee to you.
