Form Of

Class F Share Participation Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with each Fund in The American Funds Group (Funds) under which we are appointed exclusive agent for the sale of Class F-1 shares and Class F-2 shares of the Funds (together Shares or Class F shares). You have represented that you maintain a fee-based program(s) or you place trades for your representatives, your affiliates, or third-party broker-dealers that maintain fee-based programs (Program or Programs) under which your or their clients (Clients) may purchase shares of participating open-end investment companies at net asset value. We are willing to make available to you Shares of the Funds as are qualified for sale in your state for purchase by Clients through the Program(s) identified on Schedule A, subject to the terms and conditions below and the Fund Prospectuses.

1. Authorization to Sell

You may offer to Clients that are participating in the Program Shares of the Funds only at the regular public price

currently determined by the respective Funds in the manner described in their offering Prospectuses. The offering Prospectuses and this Agreement set forth the terms applicable to your making Fund Shares available to your clients and all other representations or documents are subordinate. If you offer Class A shares of the Funds on a load-waived basis pursuant to an Addendum to your American Funds Selling Group Agreement, that Addendum is terminated as to any new accounts effective March 15, 2001. However, you may continue to offer Class A shares of the Funds on a load-waived basis to accounts existing on March 15, 2001.

2. Compensation for Sales of Fund Shares

In consideration of your making Class F-1 shares of the Funds available through the Program, we will pay you compensation on a quarterly basis at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of Class F-1 shares of Funds listed on Schedule A that are held in an account assigned to you. Such fee shall be paid within 30 days following the end of the quarter for which such fees are payable (currently the quarters are February, May, August and November). In order to receive a service fee for a particular quarter, the fee must amount to at least $10. The payment of this compensation is subject to the limitations contained in each Fund’s Plan of Distribution and may be varied or discontinued at any time. No compensation shall be paid under this Agreement on Class F-2 shares of the Funds.

If you offer American Funds Money Market Fund, you acknowledge and agree that we may discontinue making payments of 12b-1 fees in respect of American Funds Money Market Fund if the fund’s investment adviser determines, in its sole discretion, that the yield on the fund’s portfolio securities does not support such payments. We currently intend to make these payments under this Agreement.

You agree that if you are assigned to an account holding Class F-1 shares of the Funds that were converted from Class C shares of the Funds and those Class F-1 shares are held outside of a Program, you will pass through a portion of the fee paid under this section to the financial adviser associated with the account.

3. Compensation for Administrative Services

You may be eligible to receive compensation for providing certain administrative services in respect of Shares of the Funds if you meet the requirements of and enter into an Administrative Services Agreement with Capital Research and Management Company.

4. Order Processing

a. Any order by you for the purchase of Shares of the respective Funds through us shall be accepted at the time when it is

received by us (or any clearing house agency that we may designate from time to time), and at the offering and sale price

next determined, unless rejected by us or the respective Funds. In addition to the right to reject any order, the Funds

have reserved the right to withhold Shares from sale temporarily or permanently. We will not accept any order from you

that is placed on a conditional basis or subject to any delay or contingency prior to execution. The Shares purchased will

be issued by the respective Funds only against receipt of the purchase price, in collected New York or Los Angeles

Clearing House funds. If payment for the Shares purchased is not received within three days after the date of

confirmation the sale may be cancelled, by us or by the respective Funds, without any responsibility or liability on our part

or on the part of the Funds. In such event, we and/or the respective Funds may hold you responsible for any loss,

expense, liability or damage, including loss of profit suffered by us and/or the respective Funds resulting from your delay

or failure to make payment as aforesaid.

You shall place orders for the purchase and redemption of Shares as described in the Administrative Services Agreement with Capital Research and Management Company.

5. Timeliness of Submitting Orders

You are obliged to date and indicate the time of receipt of all orders you receive from your clients and to transmit promptly all orders to us in time to provide for processing at the price next determined after receipt by you, in accordance with the Prospectuses. You are not to withhold placing with us orders received from any customers for the purchase of Shares. You shall not purchase Shares through us except for the purpose of covering purchase orders already received by you, or for your bona fide investment.

6. Processing Redemption Requests

You shall not purchase any Share of any of the Funds from a record holder at a price lower than the net asset value next determined by or for the Funds’ Shares.

9. Relationship of Parties

You shall make available Shares of the Funds only through us. In no transaction (whether of purchase or sale) shall you have any authority to act as agent for, partner of, or participant in a joint venture with us or with the Funds or any other entity having an Agreement with us.

10. State Securities Qualification

We act solely as agent for the Funds and are not responsible for qualifying the Funds or their Shares for sale in any jurisdiction. Upon written request we will provide you with a list of the jurisdictions in which the Funds or their Shares are qualified for sale. We also are not responsible for the issuance, form, validity, enforceability or value of Fund Shares.

11. Representations

We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with each Fund in The American Funds Group (Funds) under which we are appointed exclusive agent for the sale of Class F-1 shares and Class F-2 shares of the Funds (together Shares or Class F shares). You have represented that you maintain fee-based program(s) (Program) under which you and your clients (Clients) may purchase shares of participating open-end investment companies at net asset value and you charge those Clients an asset-based fee or other fees tied to the value of their holdings. You have indicated that you wish to act as agent for your customers in connection with the purchase and redemption of Shares of the Funds as are qualified for sale in your state for purchase by Clients through the Program(s), subject to the terms set forth below and in the Fund Prospectuses.

In placing orders for the purchase and sale of shares of the Funds, you will be acting as agent for your customers. We shall execute transactions for each of your customers only upon your authorization. If you will be making the Funds available to retirement plan Clients, you may not use the Class F shares, but rather only the Class R shares may be used.
