     following to the end of the first paragraph:  "With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent  deferred sales
     charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered  retirement  accounts"),  the

     After the first year shares are outstanding,  the Distributor makes service fee payments to Recipients  quarterly on those shares.
     The advance  payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold.  Shares  purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance
     service fee payment.  If Class A shares  purchased by grandfathered  retirement  accounts are redeemed during the first year after
     their  purchase,  the Recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the  Distributor a pro rata portion
     of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

       and  controlling  the Fund's  portfolio  securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. It is
       the practice of the Fund to deal with the Custodian in a manner  uninfluenced by any banking  relationship the Custodian may
       have with the  Manager and its  affiliates.  The Fund's  cash  balances  with the  custodian  in excess of $100,000  are not
       protected by federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

       Citibank, N.A
