Ladies and Gentlemen:
KEMPER GLOBAL INCOME FUND (the "Trust") has been established
as a
Massachusetts business Trust to engage in the business
of an
investment company. Pursuant to the Trust's Declaration of
Trust,
as amended from time-to-time (the "Declaration"), the
Board of
Trustees is authorized to issue the Trust's shares of
beneficial
interest (the "Shares"), in separate series, or funds. The
Board
of Trustees has authorized Kemper Global Income Fund
(the
"Fund"). Series may be abolished and dissolved, and
additional
series established, from time to time by action of the
Trustees.
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has selected you to act as
the
investment manager of the Fund and to provide certain
other
services, as more fully set forth below, and you have
indicated
that you are willing to act as such investment manager
and to
perform such services under the terms and conditions
hereinafter
set forth. Accordingly, the Trust on behalf of the Fund
agrees
with you as follows:
1. Delivery of Documents. The Trust engages in the
business of
investing and reinvesting the assets of the Fund in the
manner
and in accordance with the investment objectives, policies
and
restrictions specified in the currently effective Prospectus
(the
"Prospectus") and Statement of Additional Information (the
"SAI")
relating to the Fund included in the Trust's
Registration
Statement on Form N-1A, as amended from time to time,
(the
"Registration Statement") filed by the Trust under the
Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") and
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Copies of the
documents
referred to in the preceding sentence have been furnished to
you
by the Trust. The Trust has also furnished you with
copies
properly certified or authenticated of each of the
following

(the "By- Laws").
(c) Resolutions of the Trustees of the Trust and
the
shareholders of the Fund selecting you as
investment
manager and approving the form of this Agreement.
(d) Establishment and Designation of Series of

Beneficial Interest relating to the
Fund, as

The Trust will furnish you from time to time with
copies,
properly certified or authenticated, of all amendments
of or
supplements, if any, to the foregoing, including the
Prospectus,
the SAI and the Registration Statement.

relating

regulations
thereunder; and all other applicable federal and state laws
and
regulations of which you have knowledge; subject
always to
policies and instructions adopted by the Trust's
Board of
Trustees. In connection therewith, you shall use
reasonable
efforts to manage the Fund so that it will qualify as a
regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and
regulations
issued thereunder. The Fund shall have the benefit of
the

and
act upon advice of counsel to the Trust. You shall also
make
available to the Trust promptly upon request all of the
Fund's

the
Trust in complying with the requirements of the 1940 Act
and
other applicable laws. To the extent required by law, you
shall
furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite
authority
any information or reports in connection with the
services
provided pursuant to this Agreement which may be
requested in
order to ascertain whether the operations of the Trust are
being

and
regulations.

foreign currency dealers, futures commission merchants or
others
pursuant to your determinations and all in accordance with
Fund
policies as expressed in the Registration Statement. You
shall
determine what portion of the Fund's portfolio shall be
invested
in securities and other assets and what portion, if any,
should
be held uninvested.
You shall furnish to the Trust's Board of Trustees
periodic
reports on the investment performance of the Fund and on
the
performance of your obligations pursuant to this Agreement,
and
you shall supply such additional reports and information as

request.

unpaid
balance of a fee equal to the excess of (a) 1/12 of .75
of 1
percent of the average daily net assets as defined below of
the
Fund for such month; provided that, for any calendar month
during
which the average of such values exceeds $250,000,000, the
fee
payable for that month based on the portion of the
average of
such values in excess of $250,000,000 shall be 1/12 of .72
of 1
percent of such portion; provided that, for any calendar
month
during which the average of such values exceeds
$1,000,000,000,
the fee payable for that month based on the portion of
the
average of such values in excess of $1,000,000,000 shall be
1/12
of .70 of 1 percent of such portion; provided that, for
any
calendar month during which the average of such values
exceeds
$2,500,000,000, the fee payable for that month based on
the
portion of the average of such values in excess of
$2,500,000,000
shall be 1/12 of .68 of 1 percent of such portion;
provided
that, for any calendar month during which the average of
such
values exceeds $5,000,000,000, the fee payable for that
month
based on the portion of the average of such values in
excess of
$5,000,000,000 shall be 1/12 of .65 of 1 percent of such
portion;
provided that, for any calendar month during which the
average of

month based on the portion of the average of such
values in
excess of $7,500,000,000 shall be 1/12 of .64 of 1
percent of
such portion; provided that, for any calendar month during
which
the average of such values exceeds $10,000,000,000, the
fee
payable for that month based on the portion of the
average of
such values in excess of $10,000,000,000 shall be 1/12 of
.63 of
1 percent of such portion; and provided that, for any
calendar
month during which the average of such values
exceeds
$12,500,000,000, the fee payable for that month based on
the
portion of the average of such values in
excess of
$12,500,000,000 shall be 1/12 of .62 of 1 percent of
such
portion; over any compensation waived by you from time to
time
(as more fully described below). You shall be entitled to
receive
during any month such interim payments of your fee
hereunder as
you shall request, provided that no such payment shall
exceed 75
percent of the amount of your fee then accrued on the
books of
the Fund and unpaid.
The "average daily net assets" of the Fund shall mean the
average
of the values placed on the Fund's net assets as of 4:00
p.m.
(New York time) on each day on which the net asset value of
the
Fund is determined consistent with the provisions of Rule
22c-1
under the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully determines the
value
of its net assets as of some other time on each business
day, as
of such time. The value of the net assets of the Fund
shall
always be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the
Declaration and the Registration Statement. If the
determination
of net asset value does not take place for any particular
day,
then for the purposes of this section 5, the value of the
net
assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be
the
value of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or
as of
such other time as the value of the net assets of the
Fund's
portfolio may be lawfully determined on that day. If the
Fund
determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more
than
once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on
that
day shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on
that
day for the purposes of this section 5.
You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided
for
hereunder and such waiver shall be treated as a
reduction in
purchase price of your services. You shall be contractually
bound
hereunder by the terms of any publicly announced waiver of
your
fee, or any limitation of the Fund's expenses, as if such
waiver
or limitation were fully set forth herein.
6. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not
Exclusive.
In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities
and
other investments for the account of the Fund, neither you
nor
any of your directors, officers or employees shall act
as a
principal or agent or receive any commission. You or your
agent
shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase
and
sale of portfolio securities and other investments for the
Fund's
account with brokers or dealers selected by you in
accordance
with Fund policies as expressed in the Registration
Statement. If
any occasion should arise in which you give any advice to
clients
of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act
solely
as investment counsel for such clients and not in any
way on
behalf of the Fund.
Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are
not to
be deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you
may
render investment advice, management and services to
others. In
acting under this Agreement, you shall be
an independent contractor and not an agent of the Trust.
Whenever
the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment
companies
advised by you have available funds for investment,
investments
suitable and appropriate for each shall be
allocated in
accordance with procedures believed by you to be
equitable to
each entity. Similarly, opportunities to sell securities
shall be
allocated in a manner believed by you to be equitable. The
Fund
recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely
affect
the size of the position that may be acquired or disposed of
for
the Fund.
7. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to
your
undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement,
the
Trust agrees that you shall not be liable under this
Agreement
for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any
loss
suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which
this
Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this Agreement
shall
be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against
any
liability to the Trust, the Fund or its shareholders to which
you
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of your
duties, or
by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations
and
duties hereunder.
8. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This
Agreement
shall remain in force until September 30, 1999, and
continue in
force from year to year thereafter, but only so long as
such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by
the
vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to
this
Agreement or interested persons of any party to this
Agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on
such approval, and (b) by the Trustees of the Trust, or by
the
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the
Fund. The aforesaid requirement that continuance of
this
Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually"
shall be
construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the
rules
and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive
order
therefrom.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at
any
time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote
of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund
or by
the Trust's Board of Trustees on 60 days' written notice to
you,
or by you on 60 days' written notice to the Trust. This
Agreement
shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at
any
time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of
Trustees
or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of
the Fund in the event that it shall have been established
by a
court of competent jurisdiction that you or any of your
officers
or directors has taken any action which results in a
breach of
your covenants set forth herein.
9. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this
Agreement
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but
only
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against
whom
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is
sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be
effective
until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and
rules
and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive
order
therefrom.
10. Limitation of Liability for Claims. The Declaration, a
copy
of which, together with all amendments thereto, is on file in
the
Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts,
provides that the name "Kemper Global Income Fund" refers to
the
Trustees under the Declaration collectively as Trustees and
not
as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder of
the
Fund, or Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust,
shall
be subject to claims against or obligations of the Trust
or of
the Fund to any extent whatsoever, but that the Trust estate
only
shall be liable.
You are hereby expressly put on notice of the
limitation of
liability as set forth in the Declaration and you agree that
the
obligations assumed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund
pursuant
to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Fund
and
its assets, and you shall not seek satisfaction of any
such
obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Fund
or any other series of the Trust, or from any Trustee,
officer,
employee or agent of the Trust. You understand that the
rights
and obligations of each Fund, or series, under the
Declaration
are separate and distinct from those of any and all other
series.
11. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are
included
for convenience of reference only and in no way define or
limit
any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect
their
construction or effect. This Agreement may be
executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute
one and the same instrument.
In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the
definitions
contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly
the
definitions of "affiliated person," "assignment" and
"majority of
the outstanding voting securities"), as from time to
time
amended, shall be applied, subject, however, to such
exemptions
as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provided that nothing
herein
shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940
Act, or
in a manner which would cause the Fund to fail to comply with
the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.
This Agreement shall supersede all prior investment
advisory or
management agreements entered into between you and the
Trust on
behalf of the Fund.
If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please execute
the
form of acceptance on the accompanying counterpart of this
letter
and return such counterpart to the Trust, whereupon this
letter
shall become a binding contract effective as of the date of
this
Agreement.
Yours very truly,

UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 7th day of September, 1998, between
KEMPER
GLOBAL INCOME FUND, a Massachusetts business trust (the
"Fund"),
and KEMPER DISTRIBUTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("KDI").
In consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter
contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties
hereto
as follows:
1. The Fund hereby appoints KDI to act as agent
for
distribution of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter
called
"shares") of the Fund in jurisdictions wherein shares of the
Fund
may legally be offered for sale; provided, however, that the
Fund
in its absolute discretion may (a) issue or sell shares
directly
to holders of shares of the Fund upon such terms and
conditions
and for such consideration, if any, as it may determine,
whether
in connection with the distribution of subscription or
purchase
rights, the payment or reinvestment of
dividends or
distributions, or otherwise; or (b) issue or sell shares at
net
asset value to the shareholders of any other investment
company,
for which KDI shall act as exclusive distributor, who
wish to
exchange all or a portion of their investment in shares of
such
other investment company for shares of the Fund. KDI
shall
appoint various financial service firms ("Firms") to
provide
distribution services to investors. The Firms shall provide
such
office space and equipment, telephone facilities,
personnel,
literature distribution, advertising and promotion
as is
necessary or beneficial for providing information
and
distribution services to existing and potential clients of
the
Firms. KDI may also provide some of the above services for
the
Fund.
KDI accepts such appointment as distributor and
principal
underwriter and agrees to render such services and to assume
the
obligations herein set forth for the compensation
herein
provided. KDI shall for all purposes herein provided be
deemed
to be an independent contractor and, unless expressly
provided
herein or otherwise authorized, shall have no authority to
act
for or represent the Fund in any way. KDI, by separate
agreement
with the Fund, may also serve the Fund in other capacities.
The
services of KDI to the Fund under this Agreement are not
to be
deemed exclusive, and KDI shall be free to render
similar
services or other services to others so long as its
services
hereunder are not impaired thereby.
In carrying out its duties and responsibilities
hereunder,
KDI will, pursuant to separate written contracts, appoint
various
Firms to provide advertising, promotion and other
distribution
services contemplated hereunder directly to or for the
benefit of
existing and potential shareholders who may be clients of
such
Firms. Such Firms shall at all times be deemed to be
independent
contractors retained by KDI and not the Fund.
KDI shall use its best efforts with reasonable
promptness to
sell such part of the authorized shares of the Fund
remaining
unissued as from time to time shall be effectively
registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), at
prices
determined as hereinafter provided and on terms hereinafter
set
forth, all subject to applicable federal and state laws
and
regulations and to the Fund's organizational documents.
2. KDI shall sell shares of the Fund to or
through
qualified Firms in such manner, not inconsistent with
the
provisions hereof and the then effective registration
statement
(and related prospectus) of the Fund under the Securities
Act, as
KDI may determine from time to time, provided that no
Firm or
other person shall be appointed or authorized to act as
agent of
the Fund without prior consent of the Fund. In addition to
sales
made by it as agent of the Fund, KDI may, in its discretion,
also
sell shares of the Fund as principal to persons with whom it
does
not have selling group agreements.
Shares of any class of any series of the Fund offered
for
sale or sold by KDI shall be so offered or sold at a price
per
share determined in accordance with the then current
prospectus.
The price the Fund shall receive for all shares purchased
from it
shall be the net asset value used in determining the
public
offering price applicable to the sale of such shares. Any
excess
of the sales price over the net asset value of the shares of
the
Fund sold by KDI as agent shall be retained by KDI
as a
commission for its services hereunder. KDI may compensate
Firms
for sales of shares at the commission levels provided in
the
Fund's prospectus from time to time. KDI may pay
other
commissions, fees or concessions to Firms, any may pay
them to
others in its discretion, in such amounts as KDI shall
determine
from time to time. KDI shall be entitled to receive and
retain
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge as
described in
the Fund's prospectus. KDI shall also receive any
distribution
services fee payable by the Fund as provided in the
Fund's
Amended and Restated 12b-1 Plan, as amended from time to
time
(the "Plan").
KDI will require each Firm to conform to the
provisions
hereof and the Registration Statement (and related
prospectus) at
the time in effect under the Securities Act with respect to
the
public offering price or net asset value, as applicable, of
the
Fund's shares, and neither KDI nor any such Firms shall
withhold
the placing of purchase orders so as to make a profit thereby.
3. The Fund will use its best efforts to keep
effectively
registered under the Securities Act for sale as
herein
contemplated such shares as KDI shall reasonably request
and as
the Securities and Exchange Commission shall permit to
be so
registered. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the
Fund
may terminate, suspend or withdraw the offering of
shares
whenever, in its sole discretion, it deems such action
to be
desirable.
4. The Fund will execute any and all documents and
furnish
any and all information that may be reasonably
necessary in
connection with the qualification of its shares for
sale
(including the qualification of the Fund as a dealer
where
necessary or advisable) in such states as KDI may
reasonably
request (it being understood that the Fund shall not be
required
without its consent to comply with any requirement which in
its
opinion is unduly burdensome). The Fund will furnish to KDI
from
time to time such information with respect to the Fund and
its
shares as KDI may reasonably request for use in connection
with
the sale of shares of the Fund.
5. KDI shall issue and deliver or shall arrange
for
various Firms to issue and deliver on behalf of the Fund
such
confirmations of sales made by it pursuant to this
Agreement as
may be required. At or prior to the time of issuance of
shares,
KDI will pay or cause to be paid to the Fund the amount due
the
Fund for the sale of such shares. Certificates shall be
issued
or shares registered on the transfer books of the Fund in
such
names and denominations as KDI may specify.
6. KDI shall order shares of the Fund from the Fund
only
to the extent that it shall have received purchase
orders
therefor. KDI will not make, or authorize Firms or
others to
make (a) any short sales of shares of the Fund; or (b) any
sales
of such shares to any Board member or officer of the Fund
or to
any officer or Board member of KDI or of any
corporation or
association furnishing investment advisory,
managerial or
supervisory services to the Fund, or to any
corporation or
association, unless such sales are made in accordance with
the
then current prospectus relating to the sale of such
shares.
KDI, as agent of and for the account of the Fund, may
repurchase
the shares of the Fund at such prices and upon such terms
and
conditions as shall be specified in the current prospectus of
the
Fund. In selling or reacquiring shares of the Fund for
the
account of the Fund, KDI will in all respects conform to
the
requirements of all state and federal laws and the Rules of
Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.,
relating to such sale or reacquisition, as the case may be,
and
will indemnify and save harmless the Fund from any
damage or
expense on account of any wrongful act by KDI or any
employee,
representative or agent of KDI. KDI will observe and be
bound by
all the provisions of the Fund's organizational documents
(and of
any fundamental policies adopted by the Fund pursuant to
the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company
Act"),
notice of which shall have been given to KDI) which at the
time
in any way require, limit, restrict, prohibit or
otherwise
regulate any action on the part of KDI hereunder.
7. The Fund shall assume and pay all charges and
expenses
of its operations not specifically assumed or otherwise
to be
provided by KDI under this Agreement or the Plan. The Fund
will
pay or cause to be paid expenses (including the fees
and
disbursements of its own counsel) of any registration of the
Fund
and its shares under the United States securities laws
and
expenses incident to the issuance of shares of
beneficial
interest, such as the cost of share certificates, issue
taxes,
and fees of the transfer agent. KDI will pay all expenses
(other
than expenses which one or more Firms may bear pursuant to
any
agreement with KDI) incident to the sale and distribution of
the
shares issued or sold hereunder, including, without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, all (a) expenses of printing
and
distributing any prospectus and of preparing, printing
and
distributing or disseminating any other literature,
advertising
and selling aids in connection with the offering of the
shares
for sale (except that such expenses need not include
expenses
incurred by the Fund in connection with the
preparation,
typesetting, printing and distribution of any
registration
statement or prospectus, report or other
communication to
shareholders in their capacity as such), (b)
expenses of
advertising in connection with such offering and (c)
expenses
(other than the Fund's auditing expenses) of
qualifying or
continuing the qualification of the shares for sale
and, in
connection therewith, of qualifying or continuing
the
qualification of the Fund as a dealer or broker under the
laws of
such states as may be designated by KDI under the
conditions
herein specified. No transfer taxes, if any, which
may be
payable in connection with the issue or delivery or shares
sold
as herein contemplated or of the certificates for such
shares
shall be borne by the Fund, and KDI will indemnify and
hold
harmless the Fund against liability for all such transfer
taxes.
8. This Agreement shall become effective on the
date
hereof and shall continue until March 1, 1999; and shall
continue
from year to year thereafter only so long as such
continuance is
approved in the manner required by the Investment Company Act.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the
event of
its assignment and may be terminated at any time without
the
payment of any penalty by the Fund or by KDI on sixty (60)
days'
written notice to the other party. The Fund may
effect
termination with respect to any class of any series of the
Fund
by a vote of (i) a majority of the Board members who are
not
interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct or
indirect
financial interest in the operation of the Plan, this
Agreement,
or in any other agreement related to the Plan, or (ii) a
majority
of the outstanding voting securities of such series or
class.
Without prejudice to any other remedies of the Fund, the Fund
may
terminate this Agreement at any time immediately upon
KDI's
failure to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder.
All material amendments to this Agreement must be
approved
by a vote of a majority of the Board, and of the Board
members
who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no
direct
or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan,
this
Agreement or in any other agreement related to the Plan,
cast in
person at a meeting called for such purpose.
The terms "assignment," "interested person" and "vote
of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have
the
meanings set forth in the Investment Company Act and the
rules
and regulations thereunder.
KDI shall receive such compensation for its
distribution
services as set forth in the Plan. Termination of this
Agreement
shall not affect the right of KDI to receive payments on
any
unpaid balance of the compensation earned prior to
such
termination, as set forth in the Plan.
9. KDI will not use or distribute, or authorize the
use,
distribution or dissemination by Firms or others in
connection
with the sale of Fund shares any statements other than
those
contained in the Fund's current prospectus, except
such
supplemental literature or advertising as shall be lawful
under
federal and state securities laws and regulations. KDI
will
furnish the Fund with copies of all such material.
10. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
held or
made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise,
the
remainder shall not be thereby affected.
11. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in
writing,
addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
other
party at such address as such other party may designate for
the
receipt of such notice.
12. All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of
the
Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, and all
amendments
thereto, all of which are on file with the Secretary of
The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of
shareholder
and trustee liability contained therein. This Agreement has
been
executed by and on behalf of the Fund by its
representatives as
such representatives and not individually, and the
obligations of
the Fund hereunder are not binding upon any of the
Trustees,
officers or shareholders of the Fund individually but are
binding
upon only the assets and property of the Fund. With
respect to
any claim by KDI for recovery of any liability of the
Fund
arising hereunder allocated to a particular series or
class,
whether in accordance with the express terms hereof or
otherwise,
KDI shall have recourse solely against the assets of that
series
or class to satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse
against
the assets of any other series or class for such purpose.
13. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with
applicable federal law and with the laws of The
Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
14. This Agreement is the entire contract between
the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all
prior agreements between the parties relating to the
subject
matter hereof.

and KEMPER DISTRIBUTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("KDI").
In consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter
contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties
hereto
as follows:
1. The Fund hereby appoints KDI to act as agent
for
distribution of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter
called
"shares") of the Fund in jurisdictions wherein shares of the
Fund
may legally be offered for sale; provided, however, that the
Fund
in its absolute discretion may (a) issue or sell shares
directly
to holders of shares of the Fund upon such terms and
conditions
and for such consideration, if any, as it may determine,
whether
in connection with the distribution of subscription or

company,
for which KDI shall act as exclusive distributor, who
wish to

such
other investment company for shares of the Fund. KDI
shall

KDI accepts such appointment as distributor and

does
not have selling group agreements.
Shares of any class of any series of the Fund offered
