EXHIBIT 99.24(b)(18)
MULTIPLE CLASS PLAN FOR KEYSTONE AMERICA FUNDS
The Keystone America Fund Family currently offers a number of classes
of shares with the following class provisions and current offering and exchange
characteristics. Additional classes of shares, when created, may have
characteristics that differ from those described. References to percentages not
otherwise defined are to percentages of average daily net assets of a class.
I. CLASSES
1. Class A Shares
Keystone America Funds
Class A Shares have a distribution plan adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Rule
12b-1") and/or a shareholder services plan, which plans
provide for payments, currently limited to 0.25% annually, for
distribution and/or shareholder services fees.
Class A Shares are offered with a front-end sales load, except
that purchases of Class A Shares made on or after April 10,
1995 (a) in an amount equal to or exceeding $1 million and/or
(b) by a corporate qualified retirement plan or a
non-qualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by a
corporation having 100 or more eligible employees are not
subject to a front-end sales load, but are subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% for a
period of 24 months from the date of purchase.
Class A Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares of other
Keystone America Funds and Class A Shares of Keystone Liquid
Trust. Class A Shares subject to a CDSC when exchanged will
remain subject to the CDSC after the exchange.
Keystone Liquid Trust
Class A Shares have a distribution plan adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 and/or a shareholder services plan, which plans
provide for payments of up to 0.25% annually for distribution
and/or shareholder services fees.
Class A Shares are offered without a sales load. Class A
Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares of other funds in
the Keystone America Fund Family and shares of funds in the
Keystone Fund Family.
2. Class B Shares
Keystone America Funds (except Keystone Capital
Preservation and Income Fund) and Keystone Liquid Trust
Class B Shares have distribution plans adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 and may have a shareholder services plan, which
plans, in the aggregate, provide for payments of up to 1.00%
annually for distribution and/or shareholder services fees.
Class B Shares are offered at net asset value without a
front-end sales load but with a CDSC, which is a declining
percentage of the lesser of current net asset value or initial
cost. For Class B shares purchased on or after June 1, 1995,
the CDSC is imposed at rates ranging from a maximum of 5% of
amounts redeemed during the first twelve month period
following the month of purchase to 1% of amounts redeemed
during the sixth twelve month period following the month of
purchase.
The sub-class of Class B Shares issued prior to June 1, 1995
automatically convert to Class A Shares seven calendar years
after purchase without a sales load or exchange fee. The
sub-class of Class B Shares issued on or after to June 1, 1995
automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the
month of purchase without a sales load or exchange fee.
Class B Shares may be exchanged for the same sub-class of
Class B Shares of other Keystone America Funds and the same
sub-class of Class B Shares of Keystone Liquid Trust. Class B
Shares subject to a CDSC when exchanged will remain subject to
the CDSC after the exchange.
Keystone Capital Preservation and Income Fund ("CPI")
CPI Class B Shares have the same provisions and other
characteristics as those described above for Class B Shares of
the Keystone America Funds, except that Class B Shares of CPI
(a) are subject to a CDSC, which is a declining percentage of
the lesser of current net asset value or initial cost (for CPI
Class B shares purchased on or after June 1, 1995, the CDSC is
imposed at rates ranging from a maximum of 3% of amounts
redeemed during the first twelve month period following the
month of purchase to 1% of amounts redeemed during the fourth
twelve month period following the month of purchase
purchased); and (b) have the following special exchange or
conversion features: (i) at the shareholder's option, the
sub-class of CPI Class B Shares issued prior to June 1, 1995
may be exchanged for CPI Class A Shares up to seven years
after purchase and (ii) the sub-class of Class B Shares issued
on or after June 1, 1995 automatically convert to Class A
Shares eight years after the month of purchase without a sales
load or exchange fee.
3. Class C Shares
Keystone America Funds and Keystone Liquid Trust
Class C Shares have a distribution plan adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1, and may have a shareholder services plan, which
plans provide, in the aggregate, for payments of up to 1.00%
annually for distribution and/or shareholder services fees.
Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC, which is a percentage of
the lesser of current net asset value or initial cost
(currently 1.00% for one year from the date of purchase).
Class C Shares are offered at net asset value without a
front-end sales load.
Class C Shares may be exchanged for Class C Shares of other
Keystone America Funds and Keystone Liquid Trust. Class C
Shares subject to a CDSC when exchanged will remain subject to
the CDSC after the exchange.
II. CLASS EXPENSES
Each class bears the expenses of its Rule 12b-1 plan and/or
shareholder services plan. There currently are no other class
specific expenses.
III. EXPENSE ALLOCATION METHODS
Daily Distribution Funds
All income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses
and expenses not assigned to a class will be allocated to each
share regardless of class.
Non-Daily Distribution Funds
All income, realized and unrealized capital gains
and losses and expenses not assigned to a class
will be allocated to each class based on the relative net
asset value of each class.
IV. VOTING RIGHTS
Each class shall have exclusive voting rights on any matter
submitted to its shareholders that relates solely to its class
arrangement.
Each class shall have separate voting rights on any matter
submitted to shareholders where the interests of one class
differ from the interests of any other class.
Each class has in all other respects the same rights and
obligations as each other class.
V. EXPENSE WAIVERS OR REIMBURSEMENTS
Any expense waivers or reimbursements shall be in compliance
with Rule 18f-3 issued under the Investment Company Act of
