                            THE MUNDER FUNDS, INC.

                 Eighth Amended and Restated Multi-Class Plan
                 --------------------------------------------

                                 Introduction
                                 ------------

     The purpose of this Plan is to specify the attributes of the classes of
shares offered by The Munder Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), including the sales
loads, expense allocations, conversion features and exchange features of each
class, as required by Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").

     Each of the Company's investment portfolios (each, a "Fund"), other than
the Munder All-Season Conservative Fund, the Munder All-Season Moderate Fund,
the Munder Fund of Funds (formerly Munder All-Season Aggressive Fund), the
Munder Money Market Fund, the Munder NetNet Fund, the Munder Future Technology
Fund, the Munder International NetNet Fund, the Munder Digital Economy Fund and
the Munder Bio(Tech)/2/ Fund issues its shares of common stock in five classes:
"Class A" Shares, "Class B" Shares, "Class C" Shares, "Class K" Shares and
"Class Y" Shares. The Munder Money Market Fund and the Munder NetNet Fund issues
its shares of common stock in four classes: "Class A" Shares, "Class B" Shares,
"Class C" Shares and "Class Y" Shares. The Munder Future Technology Fund, the
Munder International NetNet Fund, the Munder Digital Economy Fund and Munder
Bio(Tech)/2/ Fund issues its shares of common stock in five classes: "Class A"
Shares, "Class B" Shares, "Class II" Shares, "Class K" Shares and "Class Y"
Shares. The Munder Fund of Funds, the Munder All-Season Conservative Fund and
the Munder All-Season Moderate Fund issues its shares of common stock in three
classes: "Class A" Shares, "Class B" Shares and "Class Y" Shares. Shares of each
Class of a Fund shall represent an equal pro rata interest in such Fund, and
generally, shall have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights,
preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications, and terms and
conditions, except that: (a) each Class shall have a different designation; (b)
each Class may have a different sales charge structure; (c) each Class of shares
shall bear any Class Expenses, as defined below; (d) each Class shall have
exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates
solely to its arrangement and each Class shall have separate voting rights on
any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one Class differ
from the interests of any other Class; and (e) each Class may have different
exchange and/or conversion features as described below.

                            Allocation of Expenses
                            ----------------------

     To the extent practicable, certain expenses (other than Class Expenses as
defined below which shall be allocated more specifically), shall be subtracted
from the gross income allocated to each Class of a Fund on the basis of net
assets of each Class of the Fund.  These expenses include:

     (1) Expenses incurred by the Company (for example, fees of Directors,
auditors, and legal counsel) not attributable to a particular Fund or to a
particular Class of shares of a Fund ("Company Level Expenses"); and

     (2) Expenses incurred by a Fund not attributable to any particular Class of
the Fund's shares (for example, advisory fees, custodial fees, or other expenses
relating to the management of the Fund's assets) ("Fund Expenses").
<PAGE>

     Expenses attributable to a particular Class ("Class Expenses") shall be
limited to:  (i) payments made pursuant to a Service Plan, Service and
Distribution Plan or Shareholder Servicing Plan; (ii) transfer agent fees
attributable to a specific Class; (iii) printing and postage expenses related to
preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses
and proxies to current shareholders of a specific Class; (iv) Blue Sky fees
incurred by a Class; (v) Securities and Exchange Commission registration fees
incurred by a Class; (vi) the expense of administrative personnel and services
to support the shareholders of a specific Class; (vii) litigation or other legal
expenses relating solely to one Class; and (viii) Directors' fees incurred as a
result of issues relating solely to one Class.  Expenses in category (i) above
must be allocated to the Class for which such expenses are incurred.  For all
other "Class Expenses" listed in categories (ii) - (viii) above, the President
and Chief Financial Officer shall determine, subject to Board approval or
ratification, which such categories of expenses will be treated as Class
Expenses, consistent with applicable legal principles under the Act and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any private letter ruling with
respect to the Company issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

     Therefore, expenses of a Fund shall be apportioned to each Class of shares
depending upon the nature of the expense item.  Company Level Expenses and Fund
Expenses will be allocated among the Classes of shares based on their relative
net asset values.  Approved Class Expenses shall be allocated to the particular
Class to which they are attributable.  In addition, certain expenses may be
allocated differently if their method of imposition changes.  Thus, if a Class
Expense can no longer be attributed to a Class, it shall be charged to a Fund
for allocation among Classes, as may be appropriate; however, any additional
Class Expenses not specifically identified above which are subsequently
identified and determined to be properly allocated to one Class of shares shall
not be so allocated until approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in
light of the requirements of the Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

                                Class A Shares
