Gentlemen:
We herewith confirm our agreement with you as follows:
1. We hereby employ you, pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan, as
amended, adopted by us in accordance with Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), to provide the services
listed below on behalf of the Class A Shares. You will perform, or arrange for
others including organizations whose customers or clients are shareholders of
our corporation (the "Participating Organizations") to perform, all personal
shareholder servicing and related maintenance of shareholder account functions
("Shareholder Services") not performed by us or our transfer agent.
2. You will be responsible for the payment of all expenses incurred by you
in rendering the foregoing services, except that we will pay for (i)
telecommunications expenses, including the cost of dedicated lines and CRT
terminals, incurred by the Distributor and Participating Organizations in
rendering such services to the Class A Shareholders, and (ii) preparing,
printing and delivering our prospectus to existing shareholders and preparing
and printing subscription application forms for shareholder accounts.
3. You may make payments from time to time from your own resources,
including the fees payable hereunder and past profits to compensate
Participating Organizations for providing Shareholder Services to the Class A
Shareholders of the Fund. Payments to Participating Organizations to compensate
them for
providing Shareholder Services are subject to compliance by them with the terms
of written agreements satisfactory to our Board of Directors to be entered into
between the Distributor and the Participating Organizations. The Distributor
will in its sole discretion determine the amount of any payments made by the
Distributor pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that no such payment
will increase the amount which we are required to pay either to the Distributor
under this Agreement or to the Manager under the Investment Management Contract,
the Administrative Services Agreement, or otherwise.
4. We will expect of you, and you will give us the benefit of, your best
judgment and efforts in rendering these services to us, and we agree as an
inducement to your undertaking these services that you will not be liable
hereunder for any mistake of judgment or for any other cause, provided that
nothing herein shall protect you against any liability to us or to our
shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of your duties hereunder, or by reason of your reckless
disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder.
5. In consideration of your performance, the Fund will pay you a service
fee, as defined by Article III, Section 26(b)(9) of the Rules of Fair Practice,
as amended, of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. at the
annual rate of two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the Fund's Class A Share's
average daily net assets. Your fee will be accrued by us daily, and will be
payable on the last day of each calendar month for services performed hereunder
during that month or on such other schedule as you shall request of us in
writing. You may waive your right to any fee to which you are entitled
hereunder, provided such waiver is delivered to us in writing.
6. This Agreement will become effective on the date hereof and will remain
in effect thereafter for successive twelve-month periods (computed from each
___________), provided that such continuation is specifically approved at least
annually by vote of our Board of Directors and of a majority of those of our
directors who are not interested persons (as defined in the Act) and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any
agreements related to the Plan, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time, without the payment of any penalty, (a) on sixty days' written notice to
you (i) by vote of a majority of our entire Board of Directors, and by a vote of
a majority of our Directors who are not interested persons (as defined in the
Act) and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of
the Plan or in any agreement related to the Plan, or (ii) by vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund's
Class A Shares, as defined in the Act, or (b) by you on sixty days' written
notice to us.
7. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, sold or in any manner
hypothecated or pledged by you and this Agreement shall terminate automatically
in the event of any such transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or pledge by
you. The terms "transfer", "assignment" and "sale" as used in this paragraph
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto by governing law and in applicable
rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
8. Except to the extent necessary to perform your obligations hereunder,
nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict your right, the right of any
of your employees, officers or directors, who may also be a director, officer or
employee of ours, or of a person affiliated with us, as defined in the Act, to
engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management
or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar
nature, or to render services of any kind to another corporation, firm,
individual or association.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, will you kindly
so indicate by signing and returning to us the enclosed copy hereof.
Very truly yours,
