RETIREMENT BENEFIT INVESTMENT PROGRAM, INC., doing business as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
BALANCED FUND FOR INVESTMENT AND RETIREMENT, a Maryland corporation (the
"Fund"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ FUNDS DISTRIBUTOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Distributor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
-------------------
WHEREAS, the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), as an open-end investment company,
and it is affirmatively in the interest of the Fund to offer its shares for
sale continuously; and
WHEREAS, the Distributor is a securities firm engaged in the business of
selling shares of investment companies either directly to purchasers or through
other securities dealers; and
WHEREAS, the Fund and the Distributor wish to enter into an agreement with
each other with respect to the continuous offering of the Fund's Class C shares
in order to promote the growth of the Fund and facilitate the distribution of
its Class C shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
Section
1. Appointment of the Distributor. The Fund hereby appoints the
------------------------------
Distributor as the principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund to sell
Class C shares of common stock in the Fund (sometimes herein referred to as
"Class C shares") to the public and hereby agrees during the term of this
Agreement to sell shares of the Fund to the Distributor upon the terms and condi
tions herein set forth.
Section 2. Exclusive Nature of Duties. The Distributor shall be the
--------------------------
exclusive representative of the Fund to act as prin cipal underwriter and
distributor of the Class C shares, except that:
(a) The Fund may, upon written notice to the Distributor, from time to time
designate other principal underwriters and distributors of Class C shares with
respect to areas other than the United States as to which the Distributor may
have expressly waived in writing its right to act as such. If such designation
is deemed exclusive, the right of the Distributor under this Agreement to sell
Class C shares in the areas so designated shall terminate, but this Agreement
shall remain otherwise in full effect until terminated in accordance with the
other provisions hereof.
(b) The exclusive right granted to the Distributor to purchase Class C shares
from the Fund shall not apply to Class C shares of the Fund issued in connection
with the merger or consolidation of any other investment company or personal
holding
2
company with the Fund or the acquisition by purchase or otherwise of all (or
substantially all) the assets or the outstanding Class C shares of any such
company by the Fund.
(c) Such exclusive right also shall not apply to Class C shares issued by the
Fund pursuant to reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
(d) Such exclusive right also shall not apply to Class C shares issued by the
Fund pursuant to any conversion, exchange or reinstatement privilege afforded
redeeming shareholders or to any other Class C shares as shall be agreed between
the Fund and the Distributor from time to time.
Section 3. Purchase of Class C Shares from the Fund.
----------------------------------------
(a) It is contemplated that the Fund will commence an offering of its Class C
shares, and thereafter the Distributor shall have the right to buy from the Fund
the Class C shares needed, but not more than the Class C shares needed (except
for clerical errors in transmission) to fill unconditional orders for Class C
shares of the Fund placed with the Distributor by eligible investors or
securities dealers. Investors eligible to purchase Class C shares shall be
those persons so identified in the currently effective prospectus and statement
of additional information of the Fund (the "prospectus" and "statement of
additional information", respectively) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to such Class C shares. The price which
the Distributor shall pay for the
3
Class C shares so purchased from the Fund shall be the net asset value,
determined as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof.
(b) The Class C shares are to be resold by the Distributor to investors at net
asset value, as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, or to securities dealers
having agreements with the Dis tributor upon the terms and conditions set forth
in Section 7 hereof.
(c) The net asset value of Class C shares of the Fund shall be determined by
the Fund or any agent of the Fund in accordance with the method set forth in the
prospectus and statement of additional information and guidelines established by
the Board of Directors.
(d) The Fund shall have the right to suspend the sale of its Class C shares at
times when redemption is suspended pursuant to the conditions set forth in
Section 4(b) hereof. The Fund shall also have the right to suspend the sale of
its Class C shares if trading on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been
suspended, if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or New
York authorities, or if there shall have been some other event, which, in the
judgment of the Fund, makes it imprac ticable or inadvisable to sell the Class C
shares.
(e) The Fund, or any agent of the Fund designated in writing by the Fund,
shall be promptly advised of all purchase orders for Class C shares received by
the Distributor. Any order may be rejected by the Fund; provided, however, that
the Fund
4
will not arbitrarily or without reasonable cause refuse to accept or confirm
orders for the purchase of Class C shares. The Fund (or its agent) will confirm
orders upon their receipt, will make appropriate book entries and, upon receipt
by the Fund (or its agent) of payment therefor, will deliver deposit receipts or
certificates for such Class C shares pursuant to the instructions of the
Distributor. Payment shall be made to the Fund in New York Clearing House
funds. The Distributor agrees to cause such payment and such instructions to be
delivered promptly to the Fund (or its agent).
Section 4. Repurchase or Redemption of Class C Shares by the Fund.
------------------------------------------------------
(a) Any of the outstanding Class C shares may be tendered for redemption at
any time, and the Fund agrees to repurchase or redeem the Class C shares so
tendered in accordance with its obligations as set forth in Article VII of its
Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, and in accordance with
the applicable provisions set forth in the prospectus and statement of
additional information of the Fund. The price to be paid to redeem or
repurchase the Class C shares shall be equal to the net asset value calculated
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof, less any contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), redemption fee or other charge(s), if any, set
forth in the prospectus and statement of additional information of the
5
Fund. All payments by the Fund hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth
below.
The Fund shall pay the total amount of the redemption price as defined in
the above paragraph pursuant to the instructions of the Distributor on or before
the seventh business day subsequent to its having received the notice of
redemption in proper form. The proceeds of any redemption of shares shall be
paid by the Fund as follows: (i) any applicable CDSC shall be paid to the
Distributor, and (ii) the balance shall be paid to or for the account of the
shareholder, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
prospectus and statement of additional information.
(b) Redemption of Class C shares or payment may be sus pended at times when
the New York Stock Exchange is closed, when trading on said Exchange is
suspended, when trading on said Exchange is restricted, when an emergency exists
as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not
reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly
to determine the value of its net assets, or during any other period when the
Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits.
Section 5. Duties of the Fund.
------------------
(a) The Fund shall furnish to the Distributor copies of all information,
financial statements and other papers which the Distributor may reasonably
request for use in connection with the
6
distribution of Class C shares of the Fund, and this shall in clude, upon
request by the Distributor, one certified copy of all financial statements
prepared for the Fund by independent public accountants. The Fund shall make
available to the Distributor such number of copies of its prospectus and
statement of addi tional information as the Distributor shall reasonably
request.
(b) The Fund shall take, from time to time, but subject to any necessary
approval of the shareholders, all necessary action to fix the number of
authorized shares and such steps as may be necessary to register the same under
the Securities Act to the end that there will be available for sale such number
of Class C shares as the Distributor reasonably may be expected to sell.
(c) The Fund shall use its best efforts to qualify and maintain the
qualification of an appropriate number of its Class C shares for sale under the
securities laws of such states as the Distributor and the Fund may approve. Any
such qualification may be withheld, terminated or withdrawn by the Fund at any
time in its discretion. As provided in Section 8(c) hereof, the expense of
qualification and maintenance of qualification shall be borne by the Fund. The
Distributor shall furnish such information and other material relating to its
affairs and activities as may be required by the Fund in connection with such
qualification.
(d) The Fund will furnish, in reasonable quantities upon request by the
Distributor, copies of annual and interim reports of the Fund.
7
Section 6. Duties of the Distributor.
-------------------------
(a) The Distributor shall devote reasonable time and effort to effect sales of
Class C shares of the Fund but shall not be obligated to sell any specific
number of shares. The services of the Distributor to the Fund hereunder are not
to be deemed exclu sive and nothing herein contained shall prevent the
Distributor from entering into like arrangements with other investment com
panies so long as the performance of its obligations hereunder is not impaired
thereby.
(b) In selling the Class C shares of the Fund, the Distri butor shall use its
best efforts in all respects duly to conform with the requirements of all
Federal and state laws relating to the sale of such securities. Neither the
Distributor nor any se lected dealer, as defined in Section 7 hereof, nor any
other person is authorized by the Fund to give any information or to make any
representations, other than those contained in the registration statement or
related prospectus and statement of additional information and any sales
literature specifically approved by the Fund.
(c) The Distributor shall adopt and follow procedures, as approved by the
officers of the Fund, for the confirmation of sales to investors and selected
dealers, the collection of amounts payable by investors and selected dealers on
such sales, and the cancellation of unsettled transactions, as may be neces sary
to comply with the requirements of the National Association
8
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), as such requirements may from time to
time exist.
Section 7. Selected Dealer Agreements.
--------------------------
(a) The Distributor shall have the right to enter into selected dealer
agreements with securities dealers of its choice ("selected dealers") for the
sale of Class C shares; provided, that the Fund shall approve the forms of
agreements with dealers. Class C shares sold to selected dealers shall be for
resale by such dealers only at net asset value determined as set forth in
Section 3(c) hereof. The form of agreement with selected dealers to be used
during the continuous offering of the shares is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Within the United States, the Distributor shall offer and sell Class C
shares only to such selected dealers that are members in good standing of the
NASD.
Section 8. Payment of Expenses.
-------------------
(a) The Fund shall bear all costs and expenses of the Fund, including fees and
disbursements of its counsel and auditors, in connection with the preparation
and filing of any required registration statements and/or prospectuses and
statements of additional information under the Investment Company Act, the
Securities Act, and all amendments and supplements thereto, and preparing and
mailing annual and interim reports and proxy materials to Class C shareholders
(including but not limited to the expense of setting in type any such
registration statements,
9
prospectuses, statements of additional information, annual or interim reports or
proxy materials).
(b) The Distributor shall be responsible for any payments made to selected
dealers as reimbursement for their expenses associated with payments of sales
commissions to financial con sultants. In addition, after the prospectuses,
statements of additional information and annual and interim reports have been
prepared and set in type, the Distributor shall bear the costs and expenses of
printing and distributing any copies thereof which are to be used in connection
with the offering of Class C shares to selected dealers or investors pursuant to
this Agreement. The Distributor shall bear the costs and expenses of preparing,
printing and distributing any other literature used by the Distributor or
furnished by it for use by selected dealers in connection with the offering of
the Class C shares for sale to the public and any expenses of advertising
incurred by the Dis tributor in connection with such offering. It is understood
and agreed that so long as the Fund's Class C Shares Distribution Plan pursuant
to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act remains in effect, any expenses
incurred by the Distributor here under may be paid from amounts recovered by it
from the Fund under such Plan.
(c) The Fund shall bear the cost and expenses of qualifi cation of the Class C
shares for sale pursuant to this Agreement and, if necessary or advisable in
connection therewith, of qualiy-
10
ing the Fund as a broker or dealer in such states of the United States or other
jurisdictions as shall be selected by the Fund and the Distributor pursuant to
Section 5(c) hereof and the cost and expenses payable to each such state for
continuing qualification therein until the Fund decides to discontinue such
qualification pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof.
Section 9. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless the Distri butor and each
person, if any, who controls the Distributor against any loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending
any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expense and reasonable counsel
fees incurred in connection therewith), as incurred, arising by reason of any
person acquiring any Class C shares, which may be based upon the Securities Act,
or on any other statute or at common law, on the ground that the registration
statement or related prospectus and statement of additional information, as from
time to time amended and supplemented, or an annual or interim report to Class C
shareholders of the Fund, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, in formation
furnished to the Fund in connection therewith by or on behalf of the
Distributor; provided, however, that in no case (i)
11
is the indemnity of the Fund in favor of the Distributor and any such
controlling persons to be deemed to protect such Distributor or any such
controlling persons thereof against any liability to the Fund or its security
holders to which the Distributor or any such controlling persons would otherwise
be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of their duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of their
obligations and duties under this Agreement; or (ii) is the Fund to be liable
under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any
claim made against the Distributor or any such controlling persons, unless the
Distributor or such controlling persons, as the case may be, shall have notified
the Fund in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first
legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been
served upon the Distributor or such controlling persons (or after the
Distributor or such controlling persons shall have received notice of such
service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any such
claim shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the person
against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity
agreement contained in this paragraph. The Fund will be entitled to participate
at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of
any suit brought to enforce any such liability, but if the Fund elects to assume
the defense, such defense shall be
12
conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Distributor or such
controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the
event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such
counsel, the Distributor or such controlling person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit shall bear the fees and expenses, as incurred, of any
additional counsel retained by them, but in case the Fund does not elect to
assume the defense of any such suit, it will reimburse the Distributor or such
controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the
reasonable fees and expenses, as incurred, of any counsel retained by them. The
Fund shall promptly notify the Distributor of the commence ment of any
litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or Directors in
connection with the issuance or sale of any of the Class C shares.
(b) The Distributor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each of its
Directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Fund against
any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as incurred, described in the
foregoing indem nity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, but only with
respect to statements or omissions made in reliance upon, and in conformity
with, information furnished to the Fund in writing by or on behalf of the
Distributor for use in connection with the registration statement or related
prospectus and statement of additional information, as from time to time
amended, or the
13
annual or interim reports to shareholders. In case any action shall be brought
against the Fund or any person so indemnified, in respect of which indemnity may
be sought against the Distri butor, the Distributor shall have the rights and
duties given to the Fund, and the Fund and each person so indemnified shall have
the rights and duties given to the Distributor by the provisions of subsection
(a) of this Section 9.
Section 10. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mutual Fund Advisor Program. In connection with
------------------------------------------
the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mutual Fund Adviser Program, the Distributor and its
affiliate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, are authorized to

such program. The terms of this Agreement shall apply to such sales, including

continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Directors or

Gentlemen:
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Funds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor") has an agreement
with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Retirement Benefit Investment Program, doing business as
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Balanced Fund for Investment and Retirement, a Maryland
corporation (the "Fund"), pursuant to which it acts as the distributor for the
sale of Class C shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (herein
referred to as the "Class C shares"), of the Fund and as such has the right to
distribute Class C shares of the Fund for resale. The Fund is an open-end
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, and its Class C shares being offered to the public are registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. You have received a copy of the Class C
Shares Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") between ourself and
the Fund and reference is made herein to certain provisions of such Distribution
Agreement. The terms "Prospectus" and "Statement of Additional Information" as
used herein refer to the prospectus and statement of additional information,
respectively, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission which is part
of the most recent effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. We offer to sell to you, as a member of the Selected
Dealers Group, Class C shares of the Fund upon the following terms and
conditions:
1. In all sales of these Class C shares to the public, you shall act as
dealer for your own account and in no transaction shall you have any authority
to act as agent for the Fund, for us or for any other member of the Selected
Dealers Group, except in connection with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mutual Fund Adviser
program and such other special programs as we from time to time agree, in which
case you shall have authority to offer and sell shares, as agent for the Fund,
to participants in such program.
2. Orders received from you will be accepted through us only at the public
offering price applicable to each order, as set forth in the current Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the Fund. The procedure relating to
the handling of orders shall be subject to Section 4 hereof and instructions
1
which we or the Fund shall forward from time to time to you. All orders are
subject to acceptance or rejection by the Distributor or the Fund in the sole
discretion of either. The minimum ini tial and subsequent purchase requirements
are as set forth in the current Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information of the Fund.
3. You shall not place orders for any of the Class C shares unless you have
already received purchase orders for such Class C shares at the applicable
public offering prices and subject to the terms hereof and of the Distribution
Agreement. You agree that you will not offer or sell any of the Class C shares
except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable
Federal and state securities laws and that in connection with sales and offers
to sell Class C shares you will furnish to each person to whom any such sale or
offer is made a copy of the Prospectus and, if requested, the Statement of Addi
tional Information (as then amended or supplemented) and will not furnish to any
person any information relating to the Class C shares of the Fund which is
inconsistent in any respect with the information contained in the Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information (as then amended or supplemented) or cause
any advertisement to be published in any newspaper or posted in any public place
without our consent and the consent of the Fund.
4. As a selected dealer, you are hereby authorized (i) to place orders
directly with the Fund for Class C shares of the Fund to be resold by us to you
subject to the applicable terms and conditions governing the placement of orders
by us set forth in Section 3 of the Distribution Agreement and (ii) to tender
Class C shares directly to the Fund or its agent for redemption subject to the
applicable terms and conditions set forth in Sec tion 4 of the Distribution
Agreement.
5. You shall not withhold placing orders received from your customers so as
to profit yourself as a result of such with holding: e.g., by a change in the
- -
"net asset value" from that used in determining the offering price to your
customers.
6. No person is authorized to make any representations concerning Class C
shares of the Fund except those contained in the current Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information of the Fund and in such printed information
subsequently issued by us or the Fund as information supplemental to such
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. In purchasing Class C
shares through us you shall rely solely on the representations contained in the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Informa tion and supplemental information
above mentioned. Any printed information which we furnish you other than the
Fund's Prospec tus, Statement of Additional Information, periodic reports and
proxy solicitation material is our sole responsibility and not the
responsibility of the Fund, and you agree that the Fund shall
2
have no liability or responsibility to you in these respects unless expressly
assumed in connection therewith.
7. You agree to deliver to each of the purchasers making purchases from you a
copy of the then current Prospectus and, if requested, the Statement of
Additional Information at or prior to the time of offering or sale and you agree
thereafter to deliver to such purchasers copies of the annual and interim
reports and proxy solicitation materials of the Fund. You further agree to
endeavor to obtain proxies from such purchasers. Additional copies of the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, annual or interim reports
and proxy solicitation materials of the Fund will be supplied to you in
reasonable quantities upon re quest.
8. We reserve the right in our discretion, without notice, to suspend sales or
withdraw the offering of Class C shares entirely or to certain persons or
entities in a class or classes specified by us. Each party hereto has the right
to cancel this Agreement upon notice to the other party.
9. We shall have full authority to take such action as we may deem advisable
in respect of all matters pertaining to the continuous offering. We shall be
under no liability to you except for lack of good faith and for obligations
expressly assumed by us herein. Nothing contained in this paragraph is intended
to operate as, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not in any way
whatsoever constitute, a waiver by you of compliance with any provision of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or of the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder.
10. You represent that you are a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and, with respect to any sales in the United States, we
both hereby agree to abide by the Rules of Fair Practice of such Association.
11. Upon application to us, we will inform you as to the states in which we
believe the Class C shares have been qualified for sale under, or are exempt
from the requirements of, the respective securities laws of such states, but we
assume no responsibility or obligation as to your right to sell Class C shares
in any jurisdiction. We will file with the Department of State in New York a
Further State Notice with respect to the Class C shares, if necessary.
12. All communications to us should be sent to the address below. Any notice
to you shall be duly given if mailed or tele graphed to you at the address
specified by you below.

13. Your first order placed pursuant to this Agreement for the purchase of
Class C shares of the Fund will represent your acceptance of this Agreement.
