The parties agree that the payments by the Distributor to Broker/Dealer are solely for the Broker/Dealer’s distribution-related activities, continuing personal services to shareholders of, and/or administration of shareholder accounts in, the Fund and do not constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory services.

 

WHEREAS, the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus, as amended and supplemented (“Supplements”) from time to time by the Fund.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.Purchases of Fund Shares for Sale to Customers.

 

(a)Broker/Dealer is hereby appointed as a non-exclusive agent of the Fund during the term herein specified for the purpose of providing the services as described in Schedule A. Subject to the performance by the Distributor of its obligations to be performed hereunder and to the completeness and accuracy in all material respects of all the representations and warranties of the Distributor contained herein, Broker/Dealer hereby accepts such agency and agrees on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus to use reasonable efforts during the term hereof to offer the Fund to prospective investors and provide ongoing services to shareholders for the duration of their investments. It is understood that the Broker/Dealer has no commitment with regard to the sale of the Fund’s shares other than to use reasonable efforts and shall not prevent Broker/Dealer from acting as an agent or underwriter for the securities of other issuers that may be offered or sold during the term hereof. Broker/Dealer’s agency relationship with the Distributor hereunder shall continue until the termination of this Agreement. Any sales of the Fund’s shares made prior to the date hereof by Broker/Dealer shall be deemed made pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)In offering and selling Fund’s shares to Broker/Dealer’s customers, Broker/Dealer agrees to act as dealer for Broker/Dealer’s own account and in no transaction shall the Broker/Dealer have any authority to act or hold itself out as agent for the Distributor or the Fund, except for the limited purposes set forth under this Agreement. The Distributor acknowledges that customers of Broker/Dealer who purchase Fund shares are the Broker/Dealer’s customers. Broker/Dealer shall be responsible for opening, approving, and monitoring customer accounts and for the review and supervision of these accounts, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

 

 - 1 - 

 

 

(c)Broker/Dealer agrees to offer and sell each Fund’s shares to Broker/Dealer’s customers only at the applicable public offering price and in accordance with all applicable repurchase offers issued by the Fund, giving effect to any discounts or other purchase programs, plans, or services described in the then-current Prospectus, to the extent applicable. Broker/Dealer agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each customer, at or prior to the time of any purchase of shares, a copy of the then current Prospectus (including any Supplements thereto).

 

(d)Broker/Dealer agrees to purchase Fund’s shares from the Distributor or from Broker/Dealer’s customers. If Broker/Dealer purchases from the Distributor, Broker/Dealer agrees that all such purchases shall be made only: (a) to cover orders already received by Broker/Dealer from its customers; (b) for shares being acquired by Broker/Dealer’s customers pursuant to either the exchange privilege or the reinvestment privilege, as described in the then-current Prospectus of a Fund; (c) for Broker/Dealer’s own bona fide investment; or (d) for investments by any Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) qualified plan or other trust established for the benefit of Broker/Dealer’s employees or for investments in Individual Retirement Accounts established by Broker/Dealer’s employees, and if Broker/Dealer so advises the Distributor in writing prior to any sale of shares pursuant to this subparagraph (d), Broker/Dealer agrees to waive all Broker/Dealer concessions, if any, to all sales of shares. If Broker/Dealer purchases shares from Broker/Dealer’s customers, Broker/Dealer agrees not to purchase shares from Broker/Dealer’s customers at a price lower than the applicable redemption price, determined in the manner described in the then-current Prospectus. Broker/Dealer shall not withhold placing customers’ orders for shares so as to profit the Broker/Dealer as a result of such withholding (e.g., to include, but not limited to, a change in a Fund’s net asset value from that used in determining the offering price or repurchase offer price to Broker/Dealer’s customers).

 

(e)The Distributor will accept Broker/Dealer’s purchase orders only at the public offering price applicable to each order, as determined in accordance with the Fund's then-current Prospectus. The Distributor will not accept from Broker/Dealer a conditional order. Broker/Dealer acknowledges that the Fund will make periodic tender offers to purchase shares (“tender offers”) as described in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus. Tender offers of shares of the Fund will be made at the net asset value of such shares in accordance with the applicable tender offer and then-current Prospectus, less any applicable charges and expenses for which the Fund has determined to charge shareholders as permitted by the Fund's then-current Prospectus. Broker/Dealer agrees to transmit to its customers any tender offer notification received from the Fund within the time period specified in the Fund's then-current Prospectus and in such notification, and to use its reasonable best efforts to transmit tender offers from its customers to the Fund or its transfer agent or other designee by the applicable tender offer deadline as specified in the Fund's then-current Prospectus and such tender offer notification.

 

(f)All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by the Distributor in its sole discretion. The Distributor reserves the right, at its discretion and without notice to the Broker/Dealer, to suspend sales or to withdraw the offering of a Fund’s shares, in whole or in part, or to make a limited offering of any Fund’s shares. The minimum and maximum dollar amounts for purchase of a Fund’s shares for any shareholder shall be the applicable minimum or maximum amount described in such Fund’s then-current Prospectus and no order for less or more than, as the case may be, such amount will be accepted hereunder.

 

(g)Broker/Dealer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) tender offers of the Fund will be made available by the Fund in accordance with Rule 13e-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”); (ii) the Fund is not currently listed on any securities exchange and no secondary market for the Shares of the Fund exists currently or is anticipated to develop; therefore, the Shares of the Fund have very limited liquidity; (iii) in the event one or more of Broker/Dealer’s customers cancel their order for Shares of the Fund after confirmation, such Shares may not be repurchased, remarketed or otherwise disposed of by or through Distributor; and (iv) any representations regarding a repurchase offer or other tender offer by the Fund, other than that which is specifically set forth in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus or tender offer notification issued by the Fund is prohibited.

(i)The transmission of orders will be governed by instructions that the Distributor will periodically issue to Broker/Dealer. Broker/Dealer must pay for Fund’s shares in ‘Federal Funds,’ and the Distributor must receive Broker/Dealer’s payment on or before the settlement date established in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 under the 1934 Act. If the Distributor does not receive Broker/Dealer’s payment on or before such settlement date, the Distributor may, without notice, cancel the sale. The Distributor will hold Broker/Dealer responsible for any loss suffered by the Distributor or the issuing Fund as a result of Broker/Dealer’s failure to make payment as required.

 

(j)Broker/Dealer agrees to use the account application provided with the Prospectus as the means of placing a customer’s order except for accounts opened or maintained pursuant to the networking system of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”), to the extent applicable. The account application will be reviewed by the Distributor or the Fund to determine that all information necessary to issue a Fund’s shares has been entered. Broker/Dealer hereby certifies that all of Broker/Dealer’s customers taxpayer identification numbers (“TIN”) or social security numbers (“SSN”) furnished to the Distributor or the Fund by Broker/Dealer are correct and that the Distributor or the Fund will not open an account without Broker/Dealer providing the Fund’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) with the customer’s TIN or SSN.

 

(k)Broker/Dealer will comply with all applicable Federal and state laws and with the rules and regulations of applicable regulatory agencies thereunder.

 - 3 - 

 

 

(b)Unless otherwise instructed by the Distributor or the Transfer Agent, Broker/Dealer may instruct the Transfer Agent to register shares purchased in Broker/Dealer’s name and account as nominee for Broker/Dealer’s customers, in which event all Prospectuses, proxy statements, periodic reports, and other printed material will be sent to Broker/Dealer, and all confirmations and other communications to shareholders, including, but not limited to, tender offer notifications, will be transmitted to Broker/Dealer. Broker/Dealer shall be responsible for forwarding such printed material, confirmations, notifications and communications, or the information contained therein, to all customers for whom Broker/Dealer holds such shares as nominee. However, the Transfer Agent or the Fund shall be responsible for the reasonable costs associated with Broker/Dealer forwarding such printed material, confirmations, notifications and communications and shall reimburse Broker/Dealer in full for such costs. Broker/Dealer shall also be responsible for complying with all reporting and tax withholding requirements with respect to the customers for whose account Broker/Dealer is holding such shares.

Upon written notice to Broker/Dealer, the Distributor or the Fund, may change or discontinue any schedule of concessions or issue a new Fee Schedule. Broker/Dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with sales by Broker/Dealer of shares of the Fund where Broker/Dealer receives all or substantially all of the sales charge as set forth in the Fund's then-current Prospectus and, therefore, Broker/Dealer may be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Compensations paid, if any, pursuant to the Plan is described in this Agreement in the Fee Schedule attached hereto and in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus.

 

(b)The Distributor may elect from time to time to make payments to Broker/Dealer as provided under the Plan for such services, and without limitation, as described in Schedule A. Any such compensation shall be made in the amount and manner set forth in the applicable Fee Schedule or in the Fund's then-current Prospectus. The Fee Schedule may be discontinued or changed by the Distributor from time to time and shall be in effect so long as the Plan remains in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Broker/Dealer acknowledges that any compensation to be paid to the Broker/Dealer by the Distributor is paid from proceeds paid to the Distributor by the Fund pursuant to the Plan, and to the extent the Distributor does not receive such proceeds, for any reason, the amounts payable to Broker/Dealer will be reduced accordingly.

 

(c)Broker/Dealer shall furnish to the Distributor or the Fund, such information in writing as shall reasonably be requested by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Fund’s Board”) with respect to the fees paid to Broker/Dealer pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)The Distributor may discontinue paying compensation to Broker/Dealer if, at any time, (i) Broker/Dealer is not appropriately registered in all capacities necessary to receive such compensation or (ii) Broker/Dealer breaches any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, as determined by the Distributor in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Broker/Dealer shall not be entitled to any compensation in respect of a sale to any investor if the Distributor determines that another authorized selling agent of the Distributor is primarily responsible for or should otherwise be credited with such sale. In making this determination, the Distributor will endeavor to act fairly. Any dispute regarding compensation shall be conclusively resolved by the Distributor.

 

(f)If, within seven business days after confirmation by the Distributor of Broker/Dealer’s original purchase order for shares of the Fund, such shares are repurchased by the Fund or by the Distributor for the account of the Fund or are tendered for redemption by the customer in accordance with a tender offer, Broker/Dealer shall promptly refund to the Distributor the full discount retained by Broker/Dealer on the original sale and any distribution and service payments made to Broker/Dealer.
