Item 29. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant.
Not Applicable.
Item 30. Indemnification.
The Registrant’s charter documents set forth the circumstances under which indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Board member or officer of the Registrant. The Registrant also has entered into a separate agreement with each of its Board members that describes the conditions and manner in which the Registrant indemnifies each of its Board members against all liabilities incurred by them (including attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses, settlements, fines and penalties), or which may be threatened against them, as a result of being or having been a Board member of the Registrant. These indemnification provisions are subject to applicable state law and to the limitation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that no board member or officer of a fund may be protected against liability for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard for the duties of his or her office.
Reference is made to Article VIII of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust incorporated by reference to Exhibit (1) of Post-Effective Amendment No. 13 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed on July 12, 1995. The application of these provisions is limited by Article 10 of the Registrant's By-Laws, filed as Exhibit (b) of Post-Effective Amendment No. 31 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed on August 28, 2006, and by the following undertaking set forth in the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification is against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in such Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Reference is also made to the Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit (e)(i) of Post-Effective Amendment No. 26 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed on March 9, 2004.
Item 31. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser.
The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus") and subsidiary companies comprise a financial service organization whose business consists primarily of providing investment management services as the investment adviser, manager and distributor for sponsored investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and as an investment adviser to institutional and individual accounts. Dreyfus also serves as sub-investment adviser to and/or administrator of other investment companies.

THE DREYFUS FAMILY OF FUNDS
(Dreyfus Family of Funds--Funds Included on Schedule A)
Rule 18f-3 Plan
Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), requires that the Board of an investment company desiring to offer multiple classes pursuant to said Rule adopt a plan setting forth the separate arrangement and expense allocation of each class, and any related conversion features or exchange privileges.
The Board, including a majority of the non-interested Board members, of each of the investment companies, or series thereof, listed on Schedule A attached hereto, as such Schedule may be revised from time to time (each, a "Fund"), which desires to offer multiple classes has determined that the following plan is in the best interests of each class individually and the Fund as a whole:
1. Class Designation: Fund shares shall be divided, except as otherwise noted on Schedule A attached hereto, into Class A, Class B and Class C, and, if indicated on Schedule A, Class I and Class Z.
2. Differences in Services: The services offered to shareholders of each Class shall be substantially the same, except that, unless otherwise provided on Schedule A, Right of Accumulation, Letter of Intent and Reinvestment Privilege shall be available only to holders of Class A shares, Checkwriting services shall be available only to holders of Class A or Class Z shares, and Dreyfus Express® services shall be available only to holders of Class Z shares. 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 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 B hereto.
-1-
Class B shares shall be offered only in connection with dividend reinvestment and exchanges permitted by the Exchange Privilege. Class B shares shall not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but shall be subject to a CDSC and shall be charged an annual distribution fee under a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The amount of and provisions relating to the CDSC, and the amount of the fees under the Distribution Plan pertaining to the Class B shares, are set forth on Schedule C hereto.
Class C shares shall not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but shall be subject to a CDSC and shall be charged an annual distribution fee under a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The amount of and provisions relating to the CDSC, and the amount of the fees under the Distribution Plan pertaining to the Class C shares, are set forth on Schedule D hereto.
Class I shares shall be offered at net asset value only to (i) bank trust departments, trust companies and insurance companies that have entered into agreements with the Fund's Distributor to offer Class I shares to their clients, (ii) law firms or attorneys acting as trustees or executors/administrators, (iii) foundations and endowments that make an initial investment in the Fund of at least $1 million, (iv) advisory fee-based accounts offered through financial intermediaries who, depending on the structure of the selected advisory platform, make Class I shares available, (v) certain institutional clients of an investment advisory subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation approved by The Dreyfus Corporation, and (vi) unaffiliated investment companies approved by the Fund's Distributor.
-2-
Class Z shares shall be offered at net asset value only to certain shareholders as set forth on Schedule F hereto. To the extent indicated on Schedule G hereto, Class Z shares shall be subject to a Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The amount of fees and provisions relating to such Service Plan are set forth on Schedule G hereto.
Class A, B, C and, except as otherwise indicated, Z shares shall be subject to a Shareholder Services Plan as set forth on Schedule G hereto.
4. Expense Allocation. The following expenses shall be allocated, to the extent practicable, on a Class-by-Class basis: (a) fees under the Distribution Plan, Service Plan and Shareholder Services Plan; (b) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and distributing materials, such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxies, to current shareholders of a specific Class; (c) Securities and Exchange Commission and Blue Sky registration fees incurred by a specific Class; (d) the expense of administrative personnel and services as required to support the shareholders of a specific Class; (e) litigation or other legal expenses relating solely to a specific Class; (f) transfer agent fees identified by the Fund's transfer agent as being attributable to a specific Class; and (g) Board members' fees incurred as a result of issues relating to a specific Class.
5. Conversion Features. Class B shares shall automatically convert to Class A shares after a specified period of time after the date of purchase, based on the relative net asset value of each such Class without the imposition of any sales charge, fee or other charge, as set forth on Schedule E hereto. No other Class shall be subject to any automatic conversion feature.
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 (b) shares of certain other Classes of such investment companies or shares of certain other investment companies as specified from time to time.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge--Class A Shares--A CDSC of 1.00% shall be assessed, except as set forth below, at the time of redemption of Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of at least $1,000,000 and redeemed within one year of purchase. The terms contained in Schedule C pertaining to the CDSC assessed on redemptions of Class B shares (other than the amount of the CDSC and its time periods), including the provisions for waiving the CDSC, shall be applicable to the Class A shares subject to a CDSC. Letter of Intent and Right of Accumulation shall apply to purchases of Class A shares subject to a CDSC.
Class A Shares of Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. Only--Shareholders beneficially owning Class A shares of Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. on January 6, 2003 may purchase Class A shares of such Fund at net asset value without a front-end sales charge and redeem Class A shares of such Fund without imposition of a CDSC.
B-1
SCHEDULE C
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 acquired through reinvestment of 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 for Class B shares, except for Class B shares purchased by shareholders who beneficially owned Class B shares on November 30, 1996 and Class B shares issued in connection with certain transactions described below:

SCHEDULE C (continued)
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.
