Each class of shares of each series of Pax World Funds Series Trust I listed on Schedule A hereto, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Funds”), will have the same relative rights and privileges and be subject to the same sales charges (if any), fees and expenses, except as set forth below.  The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may determine in the future that other distribution arrangements, allocations of expenses (whether ordinary or extraordinary) or services to be provided to a class of shares are appropriate and amend this Multiple Class Plan accordingly without the approval of shareholders of any class.  Except as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus, shares of one Fund may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of another Fund.

Article I.  Individual Investor Class Shares
