The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, may determine in the future that other allocations of expenses or other services to be provided to a class of shares are appropriate and amend this Plan accordingly without the approval of shareholders of any class. Shares of one class of the Fund may be exchanged for or converted into shares of another class of the Fund as set forth in the Fund’s prospectuses or as otherwise permitted by the officers of the Fund.
