American Funds Mortgage Fund is designed to provide current income and capital preservation by investing primarily in mortgage-related securities that are sponsored or guaranteed by the U.S. government. American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York is designed to provide current income exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes by investing in securities that are exempt from such taxes. The fund’s secondary objective is preservation of capital. As you may also be aware, Class C shares of American Funds automatically convert to Class F-1 shares during the month of the 10th anniversary of their purchase date. American Funds introduced Class C shares in March 2001, so these conversions will start in March 2011. Note that Class 529-C shares do not convert. Because Class F-1 shares are intended for fee-based advisory accounts, Class C shares that convert to Class F-1 shares are deemed to be “hold only” unless the assets transfer to an advisory program. Class F-1 “hold only” shares can be exchanged between funds, but no new purchases are permitted. These shares are eligible for an ongoing service fee of 0.25%. Your current Bank/Trust Company Selling Group Agreement (the “Agreement”) with American Funds Distributors contemplates the provision of shareholder services to your clients. We are adding language to the Agreement to enumerate certain services which may be provided by you in consideration of the service fees paid under the Agreement. The language is not intended to require you to provide these specific services to your clients. The purpose of this notice is to amend your Agreement to reflect these changes. In consideration of the foregoing, the Agreement is amended as follows: 1. The following paragraph is added to the Agreement: On Class F-1 shares of the Funds that were converted from Class C shares of the Funds or that were transferred to you and not held in a fee-based program, we will pay you ongoing compensation on a quarterly basis at the annual rate...
