                           RULE 18f-3 MULTI-CLASS PLAN

         I. Introduction.

         Pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), the following sets forth the method for allocating
fees and expenses among each class of shares of the underlying investment funds
of Mutual Fund Investment Trust (the "Trust") that issues multiple classes of
shares (the "Multi-Class Funds"). In addition, this Rule 18f-3 Multi-Class Plan
(the "Plan") sets forth the shareholder servicing arrangements, distribution
arrangements, conversion features, exchange privileges and other shareholder
services of each class of shares in the Multi-Class Funds.

         The Trust is an open-end series investment company registered under the
1940 Act the shares of which are registered on Form N-1A under the Securities
Act of 1933 (Registration Nos. 33-9421 and 811-5526). Upon the effective date of
this Plan, the Trust hereby elects to offer multiple classes of shares in the
Multi-Class Funds pursuant to the provisions of Rule 18f-3 and this Plan.

         The Trust currently consists of the following twelve separate Funds:
Balanced Fund, Core Equity Fund, Equity Growth Fund, Equity Growth Fund II,
Equity Income Fund, Income Fund, Intermediate Term Bond Fund, Money Market Fund,
Short-Intermediate Term U.S. Government Securities Fund, Small Capitalization
Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund and H&Q IPO & Emerging Company Fund.

         Each of the following Funds is a Multi-Class Fund, authorized to issue
the following classes of shares representing interests in the same underlying
portfolio of assets of the respective Fund:

         (1)   the Balanced Fund, Core Equity Fund, Equity Growth Fund and
               Equity Income Fund are authorized to issue Class A, Class B and
               Class C shares and Institutional Class Shares,

         (2)   the Income Fund, Intermediate Term Bond Fund, Money Market Fund,
               Short-Intermediate Term U.S. Government Securities Fund, Small
               Capitalization Fund and U.S. Government Securities Fund are
               authorized to issue Class A and Institutional Class Shares,

         (3)   the Equity Growth Fund II is authorized to issue Institutional
               Class Shares, and

         (4)   the H & Q IPO & Emerging Company Fund is authorized to issue
               Class A and Class B Shares.

         II. Allocation of Expenses.

         Pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act, the Trust shall allocate to
each class of shares in a Multi-Class Fund (i) any fees and expenses incurred by
the Trust in connection with the distribution of such class of shares under a
distribution plan adopted for such class of shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1, and
(ii) any fees and expenses incurred by the Trust under a shareholder servicing
plan in connection with the provision of shareholder services to the holders of
such class of shares. In addition, pursuant to Rule 18f-3, the Trust may
allocate the following fees and expenses to a particular class of shares in a
single Multi-Class Fund:

         (1)   transfer agent fees identified by the transfer agent as being
               attributable to such class of shares;

         (2)   printing and postage expenses related to preparing and
               distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses,
               reports, and proxies to current shareholders of such class of
               shares or to regulatory agencies with respect to such class of
               shares;

         (3)   blue sky registration or qualification fees incurred by such
               class of shares;

<PAGE>

         (4)   Securities and Exchange Commission registration fees incurred by
               such class of shares;

         (5)   the expense of administrative personnel and services (including,
               but not limited to, those of a fund accountant or dividend paying
               agent charged with calculating net asset values or determining or
               paying dividends) as required to support the shareholders of such
               class of shares;

         (6)   litigation or other legal expenses relating solely to such class
               of shares;

         (7)   Trustees fees incurred as result of issues relating to such class
               of shares; and

         (8)   independent accountants' fees relating solely to such class of
               shares.

         The initial determination of the class expenses that will be allocated
by the Trust to a particular class of shares and any subsequent changes thereto
will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees and approved by a vote of the Trustees
of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested
persons of the Trust. The Trustees will monitor conflicts of interest among the
classes and agree to take any action necessary to eliminate conflicts.

         Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and any
expenses of a Multi-Class Fund not allocated to a particular class of such Fund
pursuant to this Plan shall be allocated to each class of the Fund on the basis
of the net asset value of that class in relation to the net asset value of the
Fund.

         The Adviser, Distributor, Administrator and any other provider of
services to the Funds may waive or reimburse the expenses of a particular class
or classes, provided, however, that such waiver shall not result in cross
subsidization between the classes.

         IV.     CONVERSIONS.

         All Class B Shares of the Funds shall convert automatically to Class A
Shares in the ninth year after the date of purchase, together with the pro rata
portion of all Class B Shares representing dividends and other distributions
paid in additional Class B shares. The conversion will be effected at the
relative net asset values per share of the two classes on the first business day
of the month following the eighth anniversary of the original purchase.

         After conversion, the converted shares will be subject to an
asset-based sales charge and/or service fee (as those terms are defined in
Article III, Section 26 of the National Association Securities Dealers, Inc.
Rules of Fair Practice), if any, that in the aggregate are lower than the
asset-based sales charge and service fee to which they were subject prior to
that conversion. In no event will a class of shares have a conversion feature
that automatically would convert shares of such class into shares of a class
with a distribution arrangement that could be viewed as less favorable to the
shareholder from the point of view of overall cost.

         The implementation of the conversion feature is subject to the
continuing availability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, or of an
opinion of counsel or tax advisor, stating that the conversion of one class of
shares to another does not constitute a taxable event under federal income tax
law. The conversion feature may be suspended if such a ruling or opinion is not
available.

<PAGE>

         If a Fund implements any amendment to a Distribution Plan (or, if
presented to shareholders, adopts or implements any amendment of a shareholder
services plan) that the Board of Trustees determines would materially increase
the charges that may be borne by the Class A Shareholders under such plan, the
Class B Shares will stop converting to the Class A Shares until the Class B
Shares, voting separately, approve the amendment or adoption. The Board of
Trustees shall have sole discretion in determining whether such amendment or
adoption is to be submitted to a vote of the Class B Shareholders. Should such
amendment or adoption not be submitted to a vote of the Class B Shareholders or,
if submitted, should the Class B Shareholders fail to approve such amendment or
adoption, the Board of Trustees shall take such action as is necessary to: (1)
create a new class (the "New Class A Shares") which shall be identical in all
material respects to the Class A Shares as they existed prior to the
implementation of the amendment or adoption; and (2) ensure that the existing
Class B Shares will be exchanged or converted into New Class A Shares no later
than the date such Class B Shares were scheduled to convert to Class A Shares.
If deemed advisable by the Board of Trustees to implement the foregoing, and at
the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, such action may include the
exchange of all Class B Shares for a new class (the "New Class B Shares"),
identical in all respects to the Class B Shares except that the New Class B
Shares will automatically convert into the New Class A Shares. Such exchanges or
conversions shall be effected in a manner that the Board of Trustees reasonably
believes will not be subject to federal taxation.

      V.       BOARD REVIEW.

         The Board of Trustees of the Trust shall review this Plan as frequently
as it deems necessary. Prior to any material amendment(s) to this Plan, the
Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees that are not interested
persons of the Trust, shall find that the Plan, as

<PAGE>

proposed to be amended (including any proposed amendments to the method of
allocating class and/or fund expenses), is in the best interest of each class
of shares of a Multi-Class Fund individually and the Fund as a whole. In
considering whether to approve any proposed amendment(s) to the Plan, the
Trustees shall request and evaluate such information as they consider
reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed amendment(s) to the Plan. Such
information shall address the issue of whether any waivers or reimbursements
of fees or expenses could be considered a cross-subsidization of one class by
another, and other potential conflicts of interest between classes.

         In making its determination to approve this Plan, the Trustees have
focused on, among other things, the relationship between or among the classes
and has examined potential conflicts of interest among classes (including those
potentially involving a cross-subsidization between classes) regarding the
allocation of fees, services, waivers and reimbursements of expenses, and voting
rights. The Board has evaluated the level of services provided to each class and
the cost of those services to ensure that the services are appropriate and the
allocation of expenses is reasonable. In approving any subsequent amendments to
this Plan, the Board shall focus on and evaluate such factors as well as any
others deemed necessary by the Board. Adopted effective February 19, 2001.<PAGE>

                                          Re: Selected Dealer Agreement for
                                              Mutual Fund Investment Trust

Gentlemen:

         We understand that Mutual Fund Investment Trust (the "Trust") has
adopted plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act") for making payments to selected brokers for
Trust distribution assistance.

         We desire to enter into an Agreement with you for the sale and
distribution of the shares of the Premier Funds of the Trust (the "shares") for
which you are Distributor and whose shares are offered to the public at net
asset value. Upon acceptance of this Agreement by you, we understand that we may
offer and sell the shares, subject, however, to all of the terms and conditions
hereof and to your right to suspend or terminate the sale of such securities.

         1. We understand that the shares covered by this Agreement will be
offered and sold at net asset value without a sales charge. We further
understand that all purchase requests and applications submitted by us are
subject to acceptance or rejection in the Trust's discretion.

         2. We certify that we are members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and agree to maintain membership in said
Association, or in the alternative, that we are foreign brokers not eligible for
membership in said Association. In either case, we agree to abide by all the
rules and regulations of the NASD which are binding upon underwriters and
brokers in the distribution of the shares of open-end investment companies,
including without limitation, Section 26 of Article III of the Rules of Fair
Practice, all of which are incorporated herein" as if set forth in full. We
further agree to comply with all applicable state and Federal laws and the rules
and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies. We agree that we will not
sell or offer for sale, the shares in any state or jurisdiction where they are
not exempt from or have not been qualified for sale.

         3. We will offer and sell the Shares covered by this Agreement only in
accordance with the terms and conditions of its then current Prospectus, and we
will make no representations not included in said Prospectus or in any
authorized supplemental material supplied by you. We will use our best efforts
in the development and promotion of sales of the shares covered by this
Agreement and agree to be responsible for the proper instruction and training of
all sales personnel employed by us, in order that the shares will be offered in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all applicable
laws, rules and regulations. We agree to

<PAGE>

hold you harmless and indemnify you in the event that we, or any of our sales
representatives, should violate any law, rule or regulation, or any
provisions of this Agreement, which may result in liability to you; and in
the event you determine to refund any amount paid by any investor by reason
of any such violation on our part, we shall return to you any distribution
assistance payments previously paid or allowed by you to us with respect to
the transaction for which the refund is made. All expenses which we incur in
connection with our activities under this Agreement shall be borne by us.

         4. For purposes of this Agreement "Qualified Accounts" shall mean:
accounts of customers of ours who have purchased shares and who use our
facilities to communicate with the Trust or to effect redemptions or additional
purchases of shares and with respect to which we provide shareholder and
administration services, which services may include, without limitation:
answering inquiries regarding the Trust; assistance to customers in changing
dividend options, account designations and addresses; performance of
sub-accounting; establishment and maintenance of shareholder accounts and
records; processing purchase and redemption transactions; automatic investment
in Trust shares of customer account cash balances; providing periodic statements
showing a customer's account balance and the integration of such statements with
those of other transactions and balances in the customer's other accounts
serviced by us; arranging for bank wires; and such other shareholder services as
you reasonably may request, to the extent we are permitted by applicable
statute, rule or regulation.

         5. In consideration of the services and facilities described herein, we
shall be entitled to receive from you such fees as are set forth in the Plans
for Payment of Certain Expenses for Distribution or Shareholder Servicing
Assistance. We understand that the payment of such fees has been authorized
pursuant to Plans approved by the Board of Trustees and shareholders of certain
of the Funds comprising the Trust and shall be paid only so long as this
Agreement is in effect.

         6. The frequency of payment, the terms of any right to sell in a
territory, and any other supplemental terms, conditions or qualifications for us
to receive such payments are subject to change by you from time to time, upon 30
days' written notice. Any orders placed after the effective date of such change
shall be subject to the fee rates in effect at the time of receipt of the
payment by the Trust or you. Such 30-day period may be waived at your sole
option in the event such change increases the distribution assistance payments
due us.

         7. Payment for shares shall be made to the Trust and shall be received
by the Trust promptly after the acceptance of our order. If such payment is not
received by the Trust, we understand that the Trust reserves the right without
notice, forthwith to cancel the sale, or, at the Trust's option, to sell the
shares ordered by us back to the Trust in which latter case we may be held
responsible for any loss, including loss of profit, suffered by the Trust
resulting from our failure to make payments aforesaid.

         8. Your obligations to us under this Agreement are subject to all the
provisions of any underwriting agreements you have or may enter into with the
Trust provided copies thereof have been provided to us. We understand and agree
that in performing our services covered by

this Agreement we are acting as principal, and you are in no way responsible
for the manner of our performance or for any of our acts or omissions in
connection therewith. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plans shall be
construed to constitute us or any of our agents, employees or representatives
as your agent, partner or employee, or the agent, partner or employee of the
Trust.

         9. This Agreement shall terminate automatically (i) in the event of its
assignment, the term "assignment" for this purpose having the meaning defined in
Section 2(a)(4) of the Act or (ii) in the event the Plans are terminated.

         10. This Agreement may be terminated at any time (without payment of
any penalty) by a majority of the "Qualified Trustees" as defined in the Plans
or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust as
defined in the Plans (on not more than 60 days' written notice to us at our
principal place of business). We, on 60 days' written notice addressed to you at
your principal place of business, may terminate this Agreement. You may also
terminate this Agreement for cause on violation by us of any of the provisions
of this Agreement, said termination to become effective on the date of mailing
notice to us of such termination. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, our expulsion
from the NASD will automatically terminate this Agreement without notice; our
suspension from the NASD or violation of applicable state or Federal laws or
rules and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies will terminate this
Agreement effective upon date of mailing notice to us of such termination. Your
failure to terminate for any cause shall not constitute a waiver of your right

                                          Re:  Shareholder Service Agreement for
                                               Mutual Fund Investment Trust

Gentlemen:

         We understand that Mutual Fund Investment Trust (the "Trust") has
adopted plans (the "Plans"), on behalf of the existing series (the "Funds") of
the Trust, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Act"), for making payments to certain persons for distribution
assistance and shareholder servicing.

         We desire to enter into an Agreement with the Trust for the servicing
of shareholders of, and the administration of shareholder accounts in, certain
Funds comprising the Trust. Subject to the Trust's acceptance of this Agreement,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall be as follows:

         1. We shall provide shareholder and administration services for certain
shareholders of the Funds who purchase shares of the Funds as a result of their
relationship to us, as further designated in Exhibit A hereto ("Qualified
Accounts"). Such services may include, without limitation, some or all of the
following: answering inquiries regarding the Funds; assistance in changing
dividend options, account designations and addresses; performance of
sub-accounting; establishment and maintenance of shareholder accounts and
records; assistance in processing purchase and redemption transactions;
providing periodic statements showing a shareholder's account balance and the
integration of such statements with those of other transactions and balances in
the shareholder's other accounts serviced by us, if any; and such other
information and services as the Trust reasonably may request, to the extent we
are permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation to provide such
information or services.

         2. If Fund shares are to be purchased or held by us on behalf of our
clients:

                (i) Such shares will be registered in our name or in the name of
         our nominee. The client will be the beneficial owner of the shares of
         each Fund purchased and held by us in accordance with the client's
         instructions and the client may exercise all rights of a shareholder of
         a Fund. We agree to transmit to the Trust's transfer agent in a timely
         manner, all purchase orders and redemption requests of our clients and
         to forward to each client all proxy statements, periodic shareholder
         reports and other communications received from the Trust by us on
         behalf of our clients.

<PAGE>
                (ii) We agree to transfer to the Trust's transfer agent, on the
         date such purchase orders are effective, federal funds in an amount
         equal to the amount of all purchase orders placed by us on behalf of
         our clients and accepted by the Trust (net of any redemption orders
         placed by us on behalf of our clients). In the event that the Trust
         fails to receive such federal funds on such date (other than through
         the fault of the Trust or its transfer agent), we shall indemnify the
         Trust against any expense (including overdraft charges) incurred by the
         Trust as a result of its failure to receive such federal funds.

                (iii) We agree to make available to the Trust, upon the Trust's
         request, such information relating to our clients who are beneficial
         owners of Fund shares and their transactions in Fund shares as may be
         required by applicable laws and regulations or as may be reasonably
         requested by the Trust.

                (iv) We agree to transfer record ownership of a client's shares
         of a Fund to the client promptly upon the request of the client. In
         addition, record ownership will be promptly transferred to the client
         in the event that the person or entity ceases to be our client.

         3. We shall provide to the Trust copies of the lists of members of our
organization, if any, and make available to the Trust any publications and other
facilities of our organization for the placement of advertisements or
promotional materials and sending information regarding the Funds, to enable the
Trust to solicit for sale and to sell shares to such members.

         4. We shall provide such facilities and personnel (which may be all or
any part of the facilities currently used in our business, or all or any
personnel employed by us) as is necessary or beneficial for providing
information and services to shareholders maintaining Qualified Accounts with the
Trust, and to assist the Trust in servicing accounts of such shareholders.

         5. Neither we nor any of our employees or agents are authorized to make
any representation concerning Fund shares except those contained in the then
current Prospectus for the applicable Fund, copies of which will be supplied by
the Trust to us; and we shall have no authority to act as agent for the Trust.

         6. In consideration of the services and facilities described herein, we
shall be entitled to receive from each Fund such fees as are set forth in
Exhibit A hereto. We understand that the payment of such fees has been
authorized pursuant to the Plans approved by the Trustees and shareholders of
the Trust and shall be paid only so long as the Plans and this Agreement are in
effect.

         7. The Trust reserves the right, at the Trust's discretion and without
notice, to suspend the sale of shares or withdraw the sale of shares of each
Fund.

         8. This Agreement shall terminate automatically (i) in the event of its
assignment, the term "assignment" for this purpose having the meaning defined in
Section 2(a)(4) of the Act or (ii) in the event that the Plans terminate.

<PAGE>

         9. This Agreement may be terminated at any time (without payment of any
penalty) by a majority of the "Qualified Trustees" as defined in the Plans or by
a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund as
defined in the Plans (on not more than 60 days' written notice to us at our
principal place of business). We, on 60 days' written notice addressed to the
Trust at its principal place of business, may terminate this Agreement. The
Trust may also terminate this Agreement for cause on violation by us of any of
the provisions of this Agreement or in the event that the Plans shall terminate,
said termination to become effective on the date of mailing notice to us of such
termination. The Trust's failure to terminate for any cause shall not constitute
a waiver of its right to terminate at a later date for any such cause.

         10. All communications to the Trust shall be sent to the Trust at the
address set forth above. Any notice to us shall be duly given if mailed or
telegraphed to us at the address set forth below.

         11. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date when it is
executed and dated by the Trust below. This Agreement and all the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed under
the laws of the State of New York.
