computed at an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the Series' average daily
net assets, to finance activities undertaken by the Distributor for

(i) Preparation, printing and distribution of the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information and any supplement
thereto used in connection with the offering of the
Series' shares to the public;
(ii) Printing of additional copies for use by the Distributor
as sales literature, of reports and other communications
which were prepared by the Fund for distribution to
existing shareholders;
(iii) Preparation, printing and distribution of any other sales
literature used in connection with the offering of the

(iv) Expenses incurred in advertising, promoting and selling
shares of the Series to the public;
(v) Any fees paid by the Distributor to securities dealers who
have executed a Dealer's Distribution Agreement with the
Distributor for account maintenance and personal service
to shareholders of the Series (a "Service Fee");
(vi) Commissions to sales personnel for selling shares of the
Series and interest expenses related thereto; and
(vii) Expenses incurred in promoting sales of shares of the
Series by securities dealers, including the costs of
preparation of materials for presentations, travel
expenses, costs of entertainment, and other expenses
incurred in connection with promoting sales of the Series
shares by dealers.
(b) All payments to the Distributor pursuant to this paragraph are
subject to the following conditions being met by the Distributor.
The Distributor shall furnish the Fund with quarterly reports of

quarterly fee.
(d) The provisions of the Distribution Plan approved by the Board of
Directors of the Fund on July 25, 1997, are fully incorporated
herein by reference. In the event the Class A Distribution Plan
is terminated by the Board of Directors or Shareholders of the
Series as provided therein, this paragraph shall no longer be
effective.
