The actual fee to be paid by the distributor to broker/dealers and financial institutions and intermediaries will be negotiated based on the extent and quality of services provided.

SECTION 8. This Plan may be amended in the manner provided in Part (b) of Section 3 herein for the approval of this Plan; provided, however, that the Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of distribution expenses permitted pursuant to Section 2 hereof without the approval of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares of the Fund.

  

 

 

SECTION 9. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Directors who are not interested persons of the Company shall be committed to the discretion of the Directors then in office who are not interested persons of the Company.
