service to shareholders, including assistance in connection with inquiries
relating to shareholder accounts and maintaining shareholder accounts (the
"Service Fee"). Amounts paid or payable by the Trust under this Plan or any
agreement with any person or entity relating to the implementation of this Plan
("related agreement") shall only be used to pay for the activities described
above.
