ADJUSTMENT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR’S ALLOCABLE PORTION AND EACH SUCCESSOR DISTRIBUTOR’S ALLOCABLE PORTION The parties to the Distribution Agreement recognize that, if the terms of any distributor’s contract, any distribution plan, any prospectus, the FINRA Conduct Rules or any other applicable law change so as to disproportionately reduce, in a manner inconsistent with the intent of this Distribution Agreement, the amount of the Distributor’s Allocable Portion or any Successor Distributor’s Allocable Portion had no such change occurred, the definitions of the Distributor’s Allocable Portion and/or the Successor Distributor’s Allocable Portion in respect of the Class C shares relating to a Fund shall be adjusted by agreement among the relevant parties; provided, however, if the Distributor, the Successor Distributor and the Fund cannot agree within thirty (30) days after the date of any such change in applicable laws or in any distributor’s contract, distribution plan, prospectus or the FINRA Conduct Rules, they shall submit the question to arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association and the decision reached by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on each of them. SCHEDULE B to the Amended and Restated Principal Underwriting Agreement ALLOCATION SCHEDULE The following relates solely to Class 529-C shares. The Distributor’s Allocable Portion of Distribution Fees and CDSCs in respect of Class 529-C shares shall be 100% until such time as the Distributor shall cease to serve as exclusive distributor of Class 529-C shares; thereafter, collections that constitute CDSCs and Distribution Fees relating to Class 529-C shares shall be allocated among the Distributor and any successor distributor (“Successor Distributor”) in accordance with this Schedule. At such time as the Distributor’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees equals zero, the Successor Distributor shall become the Distributor for purposes of this Allocation Schedule. Defined terms used in this Schedule and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Principal Underwriting Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”), of which this Schedule is a part. As used herein the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
PAYMENT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THE PLAN 8.1 The Fund shall pay to the Distributor as compensation for services under any Plans adopted by the Fund and this Agreement a distribution and service fee with respect to the Fund's classes and/or series of Shares as described in each of the Fund's respective Plans and this Agreement.
Purchases of Portfolio Shares for Sale to Customers (a) In offering and selling Portfolio shares to your customers, you agree to act as dealer for your own account; you are not authorized to act as agent for us or for any Portfolio.
Distribution Activities All distribution activities engaged in by Distributor and its Representatives with respect to the Contracts shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, with NASD Rules, as well as with all applicable insurance laws and regulations, including any laws and regulations related to suitability, any other applicable federal or state law, rule, or regulation, and any of the policies and procedures that NW may issue from time to time. In particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
Distribution and/or Service Fees Subject to and in accordance with the terms of each Prospectus and the Distribution Plan and/or Service Plan, if any, adopted by resolution of the Board pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), we may pay financial institutions with which we have entered into an agreement in substantially the form annexed hereto as Appendix A or such other form as may be approved from time to time by the Funds’ Board (the “Fee Agreement”) such fees as may be determined in accordance with such Fee Agreement, for distribution, shareholder or administrative services, as described therein.
Certificates Representing Units; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Registration and Transfer of Units (a) Units shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Manager. If the Manager determines that one or more Units shall be certificated, each such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Company, by the Chief Executive Officer and any other officer designated by the Manager, representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as the Manager may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Manager agrees that it shall not elect to treat any Unit as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code unless thereafter all Units then outstanding are represented by one or more certificates.
Distribution of Written Materials Any written materials distributed by the Trustee to the Beneficiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent by mail (or otherwise communicated in the same manner as Holdings utilizes in communications to holders of Holdings Shares subject to applicable regulatory requirements and provided such manner of communications is reasonably available to the Trustee) to each Beneficiary at its address as shown on the books of the Partnership. The Partnership shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee for purposes of communication, on a timely basis and without charge or other expense:

Distribution of Net Cash Flow Net Cash Flow shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with their Partnership Percentages at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined by the General Partner.
Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) Advance Interest thereon, is not pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 3.05(a)(I) reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would constitute a Mortgage Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan), such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) any Advance Interest thereon, together with (to the extent it remains unpaid) any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
