Ladies and Gentlemen:

MBSC Securities Corporation ("we or "us"), as the principal underwriter and exclusive agent for the continuous distribution of the shares of beneficial interest or common stock of open-end registered investment companies managed, advised or administered by The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus") or its subsidiaries or affiliates (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") pursuant to the terms of a Distribution Agreement between us and the Funds, agrees to sell Fund shares to you, the firm specified on the signature page hereto ("you"), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used herein the term "Prospectus" shall mean the full, statutory prospectus (the "Statutory Prospectus") and related statement of additional information (the "SAI") incorporated therein by reference (as amended or supplemented) of each of the respective Funds included in the then currently effective registration statement (or post-effective amendment thereto) (the "Registration Statement") of each such Fund, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

In consideration for the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.	Dealer.
	In all sales of Fund shares to the public, you shall act as dealer for your own account and, other than for the limited purpose of accepting your customers' purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares in which you shall be authorized to act as an agent of the Fund, in no transaction shall you have any authority to act as agent for any Fund, for us or for any other dealer.
2.	Orders; Payment for Shares; Sales Charge Reductions.
	(a)	All orders for the purchase of any Fund shares shall be executed at the then current public offering price per share (i.e., the net asset value per share plus the applicable sales charge, if any) and all orders for the redemption of any Fund shares shall be executed at the net asset value per share, less the applicable deferred sales charge, redemption fee, or similar charge or fee, if any, in each case as described in the Prospectus of such Fund. The minimum initial purchase order and minimum subsequent purchase order shall be as set forth in the Prospectus of such Fund. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by us or the Fund at our or the Fund's sole discretion, and orders are effective only upon receipt in proper form. We reserve the right, at our discretion and without notice, to suspend the sale of shares or withdraw entirely the sale of shares of any or all of the Funds.
	(b)	The procedures relating to all orders and the handling thereof will be subject to the terms of the Prospectus of each Fund and our written instructions to you from time to time. No conditional orders will be accepted. You agree to place orders with us for the same number of shares and at the same price as any orders you receive from your customers. You shall not withhold placing orders received from your customers so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding. Moreover, in ordering shares of any Fund, you shall rely solely and conclusively on the representations contained in the Prospectus of such Fund.
	(c)	You further agree that:
		(i)	You shall not effect any transactions (including, without limitation, any purchases, exchanges and redemptions) in any Fund shares registered in the name of, or beneficially owned by, any customer unless such customer has granted you full right, power and authority to effect such transactions on such customer's behalf; and
		(ii)	We, each Fund, the Transfer Agent, as such term is defined in the Prospectus of each Fund, and each of our and their respective officers, directors, trustees, agents, employees and acffiliates shall not be liable for, and shall be fully indemnified and held harmless by you from and against, any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) which may be incurred by us or any of the foregoing persons entitled to indemnification from you hereunder arising out of or in connection with the execution of any transactions in Fund shares registered in the name of, or beneficially owned by, any customer in reliance upon any oral or written instructions reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been given by or on behalf of you.
	(d)	You agree to pay for purchase orders for Fund shares placed by you in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus of the applicable Fund.  In particular, on or before the settlement date of each purchase order for shares of any Fund, you agree to remit to an account with the Transfer Agent that is designated by us an amount equal to: (i) the then current public offering price of the shares of such Fund being purchased less the dealer reallowance, if any, with respect to such purchase order as determined by us in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus of the applicable Fund or (ii) the then current public offering price of the shares of such Fund being purchased without deduction for the dealer reallowance, if any, with respect to such purchase order as determined by us in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus of the applicable Fund, in which case the dealer reallowance, if any, shall be payable to you by us on at least a monthly basis.  You may elect to waive the dealer reallowance, to the extent permitted by the Prospectus of the applicable Fund.  Neither we nor the Funds are responsible for correcting the payment or assessment of an incorrect dealer reallowance due to your failure to fulfill your obligations under this Agreement.
	(e)	If any Fund shares sold to you under the terms of this Agreement are sold with a sales charge and are redeemed for the account of the Fund or are tendered for redemption within seven (7) business days after the date of purchase:
		(i)	You shall forthwith refund to us the full dealer reallowance received by you on the sale; and
		(ii)	We shall forthwith pay to the Fund our portion of the sales charge on the sale which had been retained by us and shall also pay to the Fund the amount refunded by you.
	(f)	If payment for any purchase order is not received in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus of the applicable Fund, we reserve the right, without notice, to cancel the sale and to hold you responsible for any loss sustained as a result thereof.
	(g)	You represent that you have adopted, and will at all times during the term of the Agreement maintain, reasonable and appropriate procedures designed to ensure that any and all orders to purchase, redeem, transfer or exchange Fund shares received by you from customers treated as received by you by the close of trading (the "Close of Trading") on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on a day the NYSE is open for regular business (a "Business Day") are received by you prior to the Close of Trading on such Business Day and are not modified after the Close of Trading and that all such orders received, but not rescinded, by the Close of Trading are communicated to us or our designee for that Business Day.  Each transmission of Fund share orders by you shall constitute a representation that such orders are accurate and complete and are as received by you by the Close of Trading on the Business Day for which the orders are to be priced and that such transmission includes all Fund share orders received from customers, but not rescinded, by the Close of Trading.  You will maintain records sufficient to document the date and time of receipt of orders from customers.
	(h)	In the case of any Fund shares sold with a sales charge, customers may be entitled to a reduction or waiver of the sales charge on purchases in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus of the applicable Fund, and your dealer reallowance, if any, will be paid based upon the reduced sales charge, except as otherwise described in the Fund's Prospectus.  The sales charge and/or dealer reallowance may be changed at any time in our sole discretion upon written notice to you.
	(i)	Unless at the time of transmitting an order you advise us or the Transfer Agent to the contrary, the shares of a Fund ordered will be deemed to be the total holdings of the specified customer in the Funds. Moreover, you agree to furnish to us or the Transfer Agent sufficient information to permit our confirmation of qualification for a reduced or waived sales charge, and acceptance of the purchase order is subject to such confirmation.
3.	Delivery of Fund Prospectuses and SAIs.
	(a)	In connection with offers to sell and sales of shares of each Fund, you agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to each person to whom any such offer or sale is made, at or prior to the time of such offer or sale, a copy of the Statutory Prospectus or the Fund's current "summary prospectus" (as defined in Rule 498 under the 1933 Act) (the "Summary Prospectus"), each as filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1933 Act.  Delivery shall include electronic delivery in accordance with publicly-available SEC interpretations. In addition, you agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to each person to whom any such offer or sale is made, upon request directed to you: (i) a copy of the SAI of the Fund or (ii) a copy of the Statutory Prospectus with respect to those persons who initially received a copy of the Summary Prospectus.
	(b)	We agree to supply you with copies of the Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI relating to each Fund in reasonable quantities upon request in connection with your delivery obligations set forth in Section 3(a) above.
4.	Shareholder, Administrative or Distribution-Related Services.
	(a)	You agree to serve as a service agent or to provide distribution assistance for all of your customers who purchase shares of any and all Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and subject to each Fund's Service Plan, Shareholder Services Plan, Distribution Plan or similar plan (each a "Plan" and collectively, the "Plans"), as applicable and as described in the relevant Prospectuses. In consideration of the shareholder, administrative and distribution services provided by you as described in this Section 4, we shall pay you such fees as may be determined by us, subject to and in accordance with, each Fund's Plan(s), as applicable.  In addition:
		(i)	if you are to receive fees from us pursuant to a Fund's Service Plan or Shareholder Services Plan, you agree to provide shareholder and administrative services for your customers who own shares of the Fund, which services may include, without limitation: assisting customers in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts and records; processing purchase and redemption transactions; providing periodic statements and/or reports showing a customer's account balance and integrating such statements with those of other transactions and balances in the customer's other accounts serviced by you; arranging for bank wires; and providing such other information and services as we reasonably may request, to the extent you are permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation;
		(ii)	if you are to receive fees from us pursuant to a Fund's Distribution Plan, you agree to provide distribution assistance in connection with the sale of shares of the Fund and/or shareholder servicing; and
		(iii)	you shall provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities and personnel (which may be all or any part of the space, equipment and facilities currently used in your business, or all or any personnel employed by you) as is necessary or beneficial for providing information and services to each Fund's shareholders, and to assist us in servicing accounts of your customers.  You shall transmit promptly to your customers all communications sent to you for transmittal to shareholders by or on behalf of us, any Fund, or any Fund's investment adviser, custodian or transfer or dividend disbursing agent.
	(b)	The fees payable to you as described in this Section 4 shall be paid monthly in arrears based on the average daily net asset value of customers' Fund shares held during the relevant period.  You understand that any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid only so long as the relevant Plans are in effect. You agree that no director, trustee, officer or shareholder of a Fund shall be liable individually for the performance of the obligations hereunder or for any such payments. It is recognized that certain parties may not be permitted to collect fees under a Plan, and if you are such a party, you acknowledge and agree that you will not collect such fees.  Your acceptance of such fees shall constitute your representation that receipt of such fees is lawful.
	(c)	In extraordinary circumstances, which are defined for purposes of this Agreement as periods of very low interest rates during which Dreyfus, from time to time, is waiving receipt of a portion of its management fee and/or paying Fund operating expenses directly in order for the Dreyfus-managed money market Funds to generate a minimum 1-day yield of up to 0.05% (on a subsidized basis), MBSC may, in its discretion, reduce the fees payable to you as described in this Section 4 with respect to such money market Fund, potentially to as low as zero. The amount of any fee rate reductions will be derived from the average percentage reduction in total money market Fund operating expenses, as determined by MBSC on a month-to-month basis. When such expense limitations are no longer in effect for the applicable money market Funds, MBSC will immediately resume payments at the original fee levels.
