Exhibit m(68)
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
Fidelity Advisor Fifty Fund
Class C Shares
1. This Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan"), when effective
in accordance with its terms, shall be the written plan contemplated
by Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Act"), for Class C Shares of Fidelity Advisor Fifty Fund ("Class
C"), a class of shares of Fidelity Advisor Fifty Fund (the "Fund"), a
series of Fidelity Advisor Series I (the "Trust").
2. The Trust has entered into a General Distribution Agreement on
behalf of the Fund with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (the
"Distributor") under which the Distributor uses all reasonable
efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers of
the Fund's shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares"). Such efforts
may include, but neither are required to include nor are limited to,
the following: (1) formulation and implementation of marketing and
promotional activities, such as mail promotions and television, radio,
newspaper, magazine and other mass media advertising; (2) preparation,
printing and distribution of sales literature; (3) preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses of the Fund and reports to
recipients other than existing shareholders of the Fund; (4) obtaining
such information, analyses and reports with respect to marketing and
promotional activities as the Distributor may, from time to time, deem
advisable; (5) making payments to securities dealers and others
engaged in the sale of Shares or in shareholder support services
("Investment Professionals"); and (6) providing training, marketing
and support to Investment Professionals with respect to the sale of
Shares.
3. In accordance with such terms as the Trustees may, from time to
time establish, and in conjunction with its services under the General
Distribution Agreement with respect to Class C Shares, the Distributor
is hereby expressly authorized to make payments to Investment
Professionals in connection with the sale of Class C Shares. Such
payments may be paid as a percentage of the dollar amount of purchases
of Class C Shares attributable to a particular Investment
Professional, or may take such other form as may be approved by the
Trustees.
4. In consideration of the services provided and the expenses
incurred by the Distributor pursuant to the General Distribution
Agreement and paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof, all with respect to Class C
Shares:
(a) Class C shall pay to the Distributor a monthly distribution fee
at the annual rate of 0.75% (or such lesser amount as the Trustees
may, from time to time, determine) of the average daily net assets of
Class C throughout the month. The determination of daily net assets
shall be made at the close of business each day throughout the month
and computed in the manner specified in the Fund's then current
Prospectus for the determination of the net asset value of Class C
Shares, but shall exclude assets attributable to any other class of
Shares of the Fund. The Distributor may, but shall not be required
to, use all or any portion of the distribution fee received pursuant
to the Plan to compensate Investment Professionals who have engaged in
the sale of Class C Shares or in shareholder support services with
respect to Class C Shares pursuant to agreements with the Distributor,
or to pay any of the expenses associated with other activities
authorized under paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof; and
(b) In addition, the Plan recognizes that the Distributor may, in
accordance with such terms as the Trustees may from time to time
establish, receive all or a portion of any sales charges, including
contingent deferred sales charges, which may be imposed upon the sale
or redemption of Class C Shares.
5. Separate from any payments made as described in paragraph 4
hereof, Class C shall also pay to the Distributor a service fee at the
annual rate of 0.25% (or such lesser amount as the Trustees may, from
time to time, determine) of the average daily net assets of Class C
throughout the month. The determination of daily net assets shall be
made at the close of business each day throughout the month and
computed in the manner specified in the Fund's then current Prospectus
for the determination of the net asset value of Class C Shares, but
shall exclude assets attributable to any other class of Shares of the
Fund. In accordance with such terms as the Trustees may from time to
time establish, the Distributor may use all or a portion of such
service fees to compensate Investment Professionals for personal
service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts, or for other
services for which "service fees" lawfully may be paid in accordance
with applicable rules and regulations.
6. The Fund presently pays, and will continue to pay, a management
fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (the "Adviser") pursuant
to a management agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the
"Management Contract"). It is recognized that the Adviser may use its
management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its resources
from any other source, to make payment to the Distributor with respect
to any expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of Class
C Shares, including the activities referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3
hereof. To the extent that the payment of management fees by the Fund
to the Adviser should be deemed to be indirect financing of any
activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class C Shares
within the meaning of Rule 12b-1, then such payment shall be deemed to
be authorized by this Plan.
7. This Plan shall become effective upon approval by a vote of a
majority of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of
Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (as defined in
the Act) and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the
operation of the Plan or in any agreement related to the Plan (the
"Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on this Plan.
8. This Plan shall, unless terminated as hereinafter provided,
remain in effect until April 30, 2001, and from year to year
thereafter; provided, however, that such continuance is subject to
approval annually by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the
Trust, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.
This Plan may be amended at any time by the Board of Trustees,
provided that (a) any amendment to increase materially the fees
provided for in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof shall be effective only upon
approval by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of Class C and (b) any material amendment of this Plan shall be
effective only upon approval in the manner provided in the first
sentence of this paragraph 8.
9. This Plan may be terminated at any time, without the payment of
any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by a
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of Class C.
10. During the existence of this Plan, the Trust shall require the
Adviser and/or the Distributor to provide the Trust, for review by the
Trustees, and the Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, a written
report of the amounts expended in connection with financing any
activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class C Shares
(making estimates of such costs where necessary or desirable) and the
purposes for which such expenditures were made.
11. This Plan does not require the Adviser or Distributor to perform
any specific type or level of distribution activities or to incur any
specific level of expenses for activities primarily intended to result
in the sale of Class C Shares.
12. Consistent with the limitation of shareholder liability as set
forth in the Trust's Declaration of Trust or other organizational
document, any obligation assumed by Class C pursuant to this Plan and
any agreement related to this Plan shall be limited in all cases to
Class C and its assets and shall not constitute an obligation of any
shareholder of the Trust or of any other class of the Fund, series of
the Trust or class of such series.
13. If any provision of this Plan shall be held or made invalid by a
court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Plan
shall not be affected thereby.
