Plan and Agreement of Distribution
This plan and agreement is between IDS Extra Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") and
American Express Financial Advisors Inc., the principal underwriter of the Fund,
for distribution services to the Fund. It is effective on the first day the Fund
offers multiple classes of shares.
The plan and agreement has been approved by members of the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of the Fund who are not interested persons of the Fund and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the plan or any
related agreement, and all of the members of the Board, in person, at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on the plan and agreement.
The plan and agreement provides that:
1. The Fund will reimburse American Express Financial Advisors for all sales and
promotional expenses attributable to the sale of Class B shares, including sales
commissions, business and employee expenses charged to distribution of Class B
shares, and corporate overhead appropriately allocated to the sale of Class B
shares.
2. The amount of the reimbursement shall be equal on an annual basis to 0.75% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class B shares. The
amount so determined shall be paid to American Express Financial Advisors in
cash within five (5) business days after the last day of each month. American
Express Financial Advisors agrees that if, at the end of any month, the expenses
of the Fund, including fees under this agreement and any other agreement between
the Fund and American Express Financial Advisors or American Express Financial
Corporation, but excluding taxes, brokerage commissions and charges in
connection with the purchase and sale of assets exceed the most restrictive
applicable state expense limitation for the Fund's current fiscal year, the Fund
shall not pay fees and expenses under this agreement to the extent necessary to
keep the Fund's expenses from exceeding the limitation, it being understood that
American Express Financial Advisors will assume all unpaid expenses and xxxx the
Fund for them in subsequent months, but in no event can the accumulation of
unpaid expenses or billing be carried past the end of the Fund's fiscal year.
3. For each purchase of Class B shares, after eight years the Class B shares
will be converted to Class A shares and those assets will no longer be included
in determining the reimbursement amount.
4. The Fund understands that if a shareholder redeems Class B shares before they
are converted to Class A shares, American Express Financial Advisors will impose
a sales charge directly on the redemption proceeds to cover those expenses it
has previously incurred on the sale of those shares.
5. American Express Financial Advisors agrees to provide at least quarterly an
analysis of distribution expenses and to meet with representatives of the Fund
as reasonably requested to provide additional information.
6. The plan and agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than one
year provided it is reapproved at least annually in the same manner in which it
was initially approved.
7. The plan and agreement may not be amended to increase materially the amount
that may be paid by the Fund without the approval of a least a majority of the
outstanding shares of Class B. Any other amendment must be approved in the
manner in which the plan and agreement was initially approved.
8. This agreement may be terminated at any time without payment of any penalty
by a vote of a majority of the members of the Board who are not interested
persons of the Fund and have no financial interest in the operation of the plan
and agreement, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Class B shares, or by
American Express Financial Advisors. The plan and agreement will terminate
automatically in the event of its assignment as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Approved this 20th day of March, 1995.
