Class F Shares Exhibit

To

Multiple Class Plan

(Revised 8/01/18)

 

1.       Separate Arrangement And Expense Allocation

 

For purposes of Rule 18f-3 under the Act, the basic distribution and shareholder servicing arrangement for the Class F Shares will consist of sales by financial intermediaries in consideration of the payment of the sales load (“dealer reallowance”). Financial intermediaries may also provide shareholder services and may receive shareholder service fees therefor. Additionally, the principal underwriter may pay up to 100 basis points (1.00%) of the public offering price to financial intermediaries as an advance commission on sales. In consideration of advancing this payment, the principal underwriter will receive any contingent deferred sales charges paid upon redemption of Class F Shares and distribution service fees under the 12b-1 Plan on an ongoing basis. In connection with this basic arrangement Class F Shares will bear the following fees and expenses:

 

Fees and Expenses Maximum Amount Allocated Class F Shares
Sales Load Up to 100 basis points (1.00%) of the public offering price
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") Up to 100 basis points (1.00%) of the share price at the time of original purchase or redemption, whichever is lower
Shareholder Service Fee Up to 25 basis points (0.25%) of the average daily net asset value
12b-1 Fee As set forth in the attached Schedule
Other Expenses Itemized expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to holders of Class F Shares as described in Section 3 of the Plan

 

2.       Conversion and Exchange Privileges

 

For purposes of Rule 18f-3, Class F Shares have the following conversion rights and exchange privileges at the election of the shareholder:

 

Conversion Rights: At the election of the shareholder, Class F Shares that are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be converted into any other Share Class of the same Fund, provided that the shareholder meets the eligibility requirements for the Share Class into which the conversion is sought, as applicable.
Exchange Privileges: Class F Shares may be exchanged for Class F Shares of any other Fund.  

 

In any exchange, the shareholder shall receive shares having the same aggregate net asset value as the shares surrendered. Exchanges to any other Class shall be treated as a redemption and purchase.

 

3.       Exceptions to Basic Arrangements

·                    Letters of intent to purchase a certain amount of Class F Shares within a thirteen month period.

 

(D)       WAIVER OF SALES LOAD

·          through a financial intermediary that did not receive a dealer reallowance on the purchase;
·                    by shareholders who originally became shareholders of a Fund pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of reorganization which permits the shareholders to acquire shares at net asset value.  However, if the shareholder closes their account with the transfer agent, or if the shareholder transfers their account to another financial intermediary, the shareholder may no longer receive a sales charge waiver;
·          with reinvested dividends or capital gains;
·          by Directors, Trustees, employees, former employees and sales representatives of the Fund, the Adviser, the principal underwriter and their affiliates, employees of any investment professional that sells shares according to a sales agreement with the principal underwriter, by the immediate family members of the above persons, and by trusts, pension or profit-sharing plans for the above persons; and

·          of Shares held by the Directors, Trustees, employees, former employees and sales representatives of the Fund, the Adviser, the principal underwriter and their affiliates, employees of any investment professional that sells Shares according to a sales agreement with the principal underwriter, by the immediate family members of the above persons, and by trusts, pension or profit-sharing plans for the above persons;
·          of Shares originally purchased through a program offered by a Financial Intermediary that provides for the purchase of Shares without imposition of a sales charge (for example, a wrap account, self-directed brokerage account, retirement, or other fee-based program offered by the Financial Intermediary) and where the Financial Intermediary has agreed with the principal underwriter not to receive an advanced commission on purchases under such program;
·          of Shares purchased with reinvested dividends or capital gains;
·          imposed by the Fund when it closes an account for not meeting the minimum balance requirements;
