6.         Exchange Privileges:  Shares of a Class shall be exchangeable only for (a) shares of the same Class of other investment companies managed or administered by The Dreyfus Corporation or its affiliates as specified from time to time and, except for shares held through financial intermediary brokerage platforms, (b) shares of certain other Classes of such investment companies or shares of certain other investment companies as specified from time to time.

SCHEDULE C

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge—Class C Shares—A CDSC of 1.00% payable to the Fund's Distributor shall be imposed on any redemption of Class C shares within one year of the date of purchase.  No CDSC shall be imposed to the extent that the net asset value of the Class C shares redeemed does not exceed (i) the current net asset value of Class C 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 C shares above the dollar amount of all payments for the purchase of Class C shares of the Fund held by such shareholder at the time of redemption.

If the aggregate value of the Class C 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 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 Class C shares of the Fund acquired pursuant to the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions; then of amounts representing the increase in net asset value of Class C shares above the total amount of payments for the purchase of Class C shares made during the preceding year; and finally, of amounts representing the cost of Class C 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 Retirement Plans, provided that the shares being redeemed were purchased through a financial intermediary that performs recordkeeping or other administrative services for the Retirement Plan and has entered into an agreement with the Fund's Distributor relating to such services, or were purchased directly through the Fund's Distributor, (c) redemptions as a result of a combination of any investment company with the Fund by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, (d) redemptions due to receiving applicable required minimum distributions from IRA accounts (other than Roth IRAs or Coverdell Education Savings Accounts) upon attaining age 70-1/2, and (e) redemptions pursuant to any systematic withdrawal plan as described in the Fund's prospectus.  The CDSC also shall be waived in connection with redemptions by Retirement Plans of Fund shares purchased on or before January 31, 2016.  If a CDSC waiver is discontinued, 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 C Shares—.75 of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C.
