EXPENSES

  

TAX-FREE INCOME

(“Investor Class Shares”)

Investor Class Shares shall bear all expenses incurred directly on behalf of the Investor Class Shares (“Class Level Expenses”). Investor Class Shares shall also bear that portion of the Fund’s expenses not incurred directly by a particular class (“Fundwide Expenses”) as the net assets of the Investor Class Shares bear to the net assets of the Fund.

TAX-FREE INCOME FUND—ADVISOR CLASS (“Advisor Class Shares”)

Advisor Class Shares shall bear all expenses incurred directly on behalf of the Advisor Class Shares, including 12b-1 fees (“Class Level Expenses”). Advisor Class Shares also bear that portion of Fundwide Expenses as the net assets of the Advisor Class Shares bear to the net assets of the Fund.

TAX-FREE INCOME FUND—I CLASS (“I Class Shares”)

I Class Shares shall bear all expenses incurred directly on behalf of the I Class Shares (“Class Level Expenses”). I Class Shares also bear that portion of Fundwide Expenses as the net assets of the I Class Shares bear to the net assets of the Fund.

INCOME AND GAIN/LOSS ALLOCATIONS

Income, realized gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation will be allocated to each class on the basis of the net assets of that class in relation to the net assets of the Fund.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund to each class of shares will be paid on the same day and at the same time, and will be determined in the same manner and will be in the same amount, except that the amount of the dividends and other distributions declared and


paid by a particular class may be different from that paid by another class generally only because of differing Class Level Expenses borne by each class.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

Each class of shares is exchangeable for the other class of shares or for the same or other classes of shares of any T. Rowe Price mutual fund subject to the conditions of any such fund’s then-current prospectus.

GENERAL

Each class of shares shall have exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to its arrangements and shall have separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one class differ from the interests of any other class.

On an ongoing basis, the Board of Directors, pursuant to their fiduciary responsibilities under the 1940 Act and otherwise, will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material conflicts among the interests of its several classes. The Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent Directors, shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to eliminate any such conflicts that may develop. T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. will be responsible for reporting any potential or existing conflicts to the Board of Directors.

 Effective as of July 6, 2017.
