Item 27. Indemnification
Under a provision of the Registrant's Second Amended and Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust"), any past
or present Trustee or officer of the Registrant is indemnified to the
fullest extent permitted by law against liability and all expenses
reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to which he/she may be a party or otherwise involved by reason
of his/her being or having been a Trustee or officer of the Registrant.
This provision does not authorize indemnification against any liability to
the Registrant or its shareholders to which such Trustee or officer would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of his/her duties. Moreover, this
provision does not authorize indemnification where such Trustee or officer
is finally adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his/her actions were in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Registrant. Expenses may be paid by the Registrant in advance of
the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by such Trustee or officer to repay such expenses to the
Registrant if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such
expenses is not authorized under the Declaration of Trust.

THE DREYFUS/LAUREL FUNDS TRUST -
DREYFUS CORE VALUE FUND
Rule 18f-3 Plan
Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"), requires that the Board of an investment company desiring
to offer multiple classes of shares pursuant to said Rule adopt a plan
setting forth the differences among the classes with respect to shareholder
services, distribution arrangements, expense allocations and any related
conversion features or exchange privileges.
The Board, including a majority of the non-interested Board
members, of the Dreyfus Core Value Fund (the "Fund") of The Dreyfus/Laurel
Funds Trust, a fund which desires to offer multiple classes, has determined
that the following plan is in the best interests of each class individually
and the Fund as a whole:
1. Class Designation: Fund shares shall be divided into
Investor Class, Institutional Class and Class R.
2. Differences in Availability: Investor shares shall be sold
primarily to retail investors by the Fund's Distributor and by banks,
securities brokers or dealers and other financial institutions that have
entered into a Selling Agreement with the Fund's Distributor.
Institutional shares shall be offered to holders of shares of a
predecessor class of the Fund as of April 4, 1994.
Class R shares shall be sold primarily to bank trust departments
and other financial service providers acting on behalf of customers having
a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such
institution, or to customers who have received and hold shares of the Fund
distributed to them by virtue of such an account or relationship.
3. Differences in Services: Other than shareholder services
provided under the Distribution Plan for Investor Class and Institutional
Class, the services offered to shareholders of each Class shall be the
same.
4. Differences in Distribution Arrangements: Investor shares
and Institutional shares shall be subject to a Distribution Plan (the
"Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan allows
the Fund to spend annually up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets
attributable to Investor shares, and 0.15% of its average daily net assets
attributable to Institutional shares, to compensate the Distributor for
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor and
Institutional shares of the Fund and Dreyfus Service Corporation, an
affiliate of The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus"), for shareholder servicing
activities.
Class R shares shall not be subject to a Distribution Plan.
5. Expense Allocation. The following expenses shall be
allocated on a Class-by-Class basis: (a) fees under the Distribution Plan;
(b) printing and postage expenses payable by the Fund related to preparing
and distributing materials, such as proxies, to current shareholders of a
specific Class; and (c) litigation or other legal expenses relating solely
to a specific Class.
6. Conversion Features. There shall be no automatic conversion
feature for any of the Fund's classes of shares.
7. Exchange Privileges. Investor shares and Institutional
shares shall be exchangeable only for (a) Investor shares (however the same
may be named) of other funds managed or administered by Dreyfus; (b) Class
A shares (however the same may be named) of other funds managed or
administered by Dreyfus which are not subject to any deferred sales charge;
(c) shares of funds managed or administered by Dreyfus which do not have
separate share classes; and (d) shares of certain other funds, as specified
from time to time.
Class R shares shall be exchangeable only for (a) Class R shares
(however the same may be named) of other funds managed or administered by
Dreyfus; (b) shares of funds managed or administered by Dreyfus which do
not have separate share classes; and (c) shares of certain other funds, as
specified from time to time.
