its  exclusive  marketing  program,  the use of the IBFS name and logo,  and the
marketing and  distribution of the Funds, two initial payments for the first two
years of such agreement  (I.E.  1993 and 1994) to be used by IBFS for marketing,
administrative,  legal, registration and other general expenses.  Thereafter, as
additional  compensation  for IBFS' marketing and distribution of the Funds, MFD
