(b)  The preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class F-1, Class F-2, Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5, Class 529-A, Class 529-B, Class 529-C, Class 529-E and Class 529-F-1 shares are set forth in the Charter of the Corporation.  The preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the Class R-6 shares of the Corporation are set forth below.

SECOND:  Except to the extent provided otherwise by the Charter of the Corporation, all classes of shares of the Corporation shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets of the Corporation (subject to the liabilities of the Corporation) and each share shall have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the Charter of the Corporation to the contrary:

(i)  Each class of shares of the Corporation may be issued and sold subject to different sales loads or charges, whether initial, deferred or contingent, or any combination thereof, as may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations and as shall be set forth in the applicable prospectus for the shares;

(ii)  Expenses, costs and charges which are determined by or under the supervision of the Board of Directors to be attributable to the shares of a particular class may be charged to that class and appropriately reflected in the net asset value of, and/or dividends payable on, the shares of that class; and

(iii)  Subject to the provisions in the Charter of the Corporation pertaining to the exchange rights of Class B, Class C and Class 529-B shares, each class of shares of the Corporation may have such different exchange rights as the Board of Directors shall provide in compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940.

THIRD:  The foregoing amendment to the Charter of the Corporation does not increase the authorized capital stock of the Corporation.
