of 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
Directors ("Agreements") with broker/dealers, banks and other financial
institutions that are dealers of record or holders of record or which have a
servicing relationship with the beneficial owners of Class B Shares ("Servicing
Agents") of the Company's Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund"). Pursuant to
such Agreements, Servicing Agents shall provide support services as set forth
therein to their clients who beneficially own Class B Shares in consideration
of a fee, computed monthly in the manner set forth in the Fund's then current
prospectus, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net asset
value of Class B Shares beneficially owned by or attributable to such clients.
The Company's distributor, administrator and adviser and their respective
affiliates are eligible to become Servicing Agents and to receive fees under
this Servicing Plan. All expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with the
Agreements and the implementation of this Servicing Plan shall be borne
entirely by the holders of Class B Shares of the Fund.
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 Servicing 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 Servicing Plan is in effect, the
Company's administrator shall provide to the Company's Board of Directors, and
the Directors shall review, at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts
expended pursuant to this Servicing Plan and the purposes for which such
expenditures were made.
Section 4. Unless sooner terminated, this Servicing Plan (and
each related agreement) shall continue in effect for a period of one year from
its date of execution and shall continue thereafter for successive annual
periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least
annually by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the
Directors who are not "interested persons," as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, of the Company and have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of this Servicing Plan or in any Agreement related to
this Servicing Plan (the "Disinterested Directors") cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
Section 5. This Servicing Plan may be amended at any time with
respect to the Fund by the Company's Board of Directors, provided that any
material amendment of the terms of this Servicing 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 Servicing Plan is terminable at any time with
respect to the Fund by vote of a majority of the Disinterested Directors.
Section 7. While this Servicing Plan is in effect, the selection
and nomination of the Disinterested Directors shall be committed to the
discretion of such Disinterested Directors.
Section 8. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Fund shall not be obligated to make any payments under this Plan that exceed
the maximum amounts payable under Article III, Section 26 of the Rules of Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Section 9. The Company will preserve copies of this Servicing
Plan, Agreements, and any written reports regarding this Servicing Plan
presented to the Board of Directors for a period of not less than six years.
