Certain automatic investment plan privileges are not available to holders of Class B shares.

     3.Differences in Distribution Arrangements: Class A shares shall be offered with a front-end sales charge, as such term is defined under the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the “FINRA Conduct Rules”), and a contingent deferred sales charge (a “CDSC”), as such term is defined under the FINRA Conduct Rules, may be assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more. The amount of the sales charge and the amount of and provisions relating to the CDSC pertaining to the Class A shares are set forth on Schedule A hereto.

NY 70148564v7

SCHEDULE B

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge--Class B Shares--A CDSC payable to the Fund’s Distributor shall be imposed on any redemption of Class B shares which reduces the current net asset value of such Class B shares to an amount which is lower than the dollar amount of all payments by the redeeming shareholder for the purchase of Class B shares of the Fund held by such shareholder at the time of redemption. No CDSC shall be imposed to the extent that the net asset value of the Class B shares redeemed does not exceed (i) the current net asset value of Class B shares of the Fund acquired through reinvestment of Fund dividends or capital gain distributions, plus (ii) increases in the net asset value of the shareholder’s Class B shares above the dollar amount of all payments for the purchase of Class B shares of the Fund held by such shareholder at the time of redemption.

     If the aggregate value of the Class B shares redeemed has declined below their original cost as a result of the Fund’s performance, a CDSC may be applied to the then-current net asset value rather than the purchase price.

     In circumstances where the CDSC is imposed, the amount of the charge shall depend on the number of years from the time the shareholder purchased the Class B shares until the time of redemption of such shares. Solely for purposes of determining the number of years from the time of any payment for the purchase of Class B shares, all payments during a month shall be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the first day of the month. The following table sets forth the rates of the CDSC, except for Class B shares issued in connection with certain transactions described below:

	CDSC as a % of
Year Since	Amount Invested or
Purchase Payment	Redemption
Was Made_____	Proceeds
First	4.00
Second	4.00
Third	3.00
Fourth	3.00
Fifth	2.00
Sixth	1.00

     For Class B shares issued in connection with (i) the exchange of shares originally issued by a series of The Bear Stearns Funds or (ii) the reorganization of any such series of The Bear Stearns Funds, where the shares of such series were purchased before December 1, 2003, the following table sets forth the rates of the CDSC for such shares:

Fourth	3.00
Fifth	2.00
Sixth	1.00
Seventh	0.00
Eighth	0.00

     In determining whether a CDSC is applicable to a redemption, the calculation shall be made in a manner that results in the lowest possible rate. Therefore, it shall be assumed that the redemption is made first of amounts representing shares acquired pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends and distributions; then of amounts representing the increase in net asset value of Class B shares above the total amount of payments for the purchase of Class B shares made during the preceding six years (eight years for certain shares issued in connection with shares originally issued by a series of The Bear Stearns Funds); and finally, of amounts representing the cost of Class B shares held for the longest period of time.

Waiver of CDSC--The CDSC shall be waived in connection with (a) redemptions made within one year after the death or disability, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code, of the shareholder, (b) redemptions by employees participating in qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plans or other programs, (c) redemptions as a result of a combination of any investment company with the Fund by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, (d) a distribution following retirement under a tax-deferred retirement plan or upon attaining age 70-1/2 in the case of an IRA or Keogh plan or custodial account pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Code, and (e) redemptions pursuant to any systematic withdrawal plan as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Any Fund shares subject to a CDSC which were purchased prior to the termination of such waiver shall have the CDSC waived as provided in the Fund’s prospectus at the time of the purchase of such shares.

Amount of Distribution Plan Fees--Class B Shares--.75 of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B.

In addition, the provisions for waiving the CDSC shall be those set forth for Class B shares.

SCHEDULE E

Conversion of Class B Shares--Approximately six years after the date of purchase, Class B shares (other than those issued in connection with certain transactions described below) automatically shall convert to Class A shares, based on the relative net asset values for shares of each such Class, and shall no longer be subject to the distribution fee. Class B shares issued in connection with (i) the exchange of shares originally issued by a series of The Bear Stearns Funds or (ii) the reorganization of any such series of The Bear Stearns Funds, where the shares of such series were purchased before December 1, 2003, automatically shall convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after the date of original purchase of such shares from the series of The Bear Stearns Funds. At the time of conversion, Class B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions (“Dividend Shares”) shall be converted in the proportion that a shareholder’s Class B shares (other than Dividend Shares) converting to Class A shares bears to the total Class B shares then held by the shareholder which were not acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
