WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust have determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the following Plan will benefit the Funds of the Trust and the Clients who hold Shares of the Funds; and

WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust adopt the Plan under which Service Providers will provide to Clients some or all of the shareholder and/or administrative services stated in Section 2 herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trustees of the Trust hereby adopt this Plan.

Service Providers may also use this fee for payments to financial institutions and intermediaries such as banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies and investment counselors, broker-dealers, mutual fund supermarkets and the Service Providers’s affiliates and subsidiaries as compensation for such services as are described herein.

Section 3. This Plan shall not take effect with respect to the Funds until it has been approved by votes of the majority of both (i) the Trustees of the Trust and (ii) the Qualified Trustees (as defined in Section 9 herein).


Section 4. This Plan shall continue in effect until terminated as provided in Section 6.

Section 5. Any person authorized to direct the disposition of monies paid or payable by the Trust pursuant to this Plan or any related agreement shall provide to the Trustees of the Trust, at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts so expended and the purposes for which such expenditures were made.

Section 6. This Plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the Qualified Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Shares of the Funds.

Section 7. All agreements with any person relating to implementation of this Plan shall be in writing, and any agreement related to this Plan shall provide that such agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by (i) Clients or Service Providers; (ii) the vote of a majority of the Qualified Trustees or (iii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Shares of the Funds, on not more than 90 days written notice to any other party to the agreement.

Section 8. This Plan may not be amended without the approval of a majority of both (i) the Trustees of the Trust and (ii) the Qualified Trustees (as defined in Section 9 herein).

Section 9. As used in this Plan, (a) the term “Qualified Trustees” shall mean those Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust, and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan or any agreements related to it, and (b) the terms “assignment” and “interested person” shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 10. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees then in office who are not interested persons of the Trust.

Section 11. This Plan shall not obligate the Trust or any other party to enter into an agreement with any particular person.
