THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES THE SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN
THE "DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN" SECTION ON PAGE 19.
Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund shares.
In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
make payments to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that
engage in the sale of fund shares, or provide shareholder support
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such
payments for Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
shares.
