• Distribution Services The Distributor shall sell and repurchase Shares as set forth below, subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the laws governing the sale of securities in the various states ("Blue Sky Laws"):

• Distribution Plans You shall also be entitled to compensation for your services as provided in any Distribution Plan adopted as to any series and class of any Fund’s Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The compensation provided in any such Distribution Plan (a “12b-1 Plan”) may be divided into a distribution fee and a service fee, as set forth in such Plan and the Fund’s then current prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”), each of which is compensation for different services to be rendered to the Fund. Subject to the termination provisions in a 12b-1 Plan, any distribution fee with respect to the sale of a Share subject to such Plan shall be earned when such Share is sold and shall be payable from time to time as provided in the 12b-1 Plan. The distribution fee payable to you as provided in any 12b-1 Plan shall be payable without offset, defense or counterclaim (it being understood by the parties hereto that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed a waiver by the Fund of any claim the Fund may have against you).

• Distributions, Etc Upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Tenant, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Tenant, if any sum shall be paid or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, such sum shall be paid over to the Secured Parties, to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations. If any dividend shall be declared on any of the Pledged Collateral (excluding cash dividends), or any share of beneficial interest or fraction thereof shall be issued pursuant to any split of beneficial interests involving any of the Pledged Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Pledged Collateral, or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Collateral pursuant to recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Tenant, the shares or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Secured Parties to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

• Distribution Support Services In addition to the sale and repurchase of Shares, the Distributor shall perform the distribution support services set forth on Schedule B attached hereto, as may be amended from time to time. Such distribution support services shall include: Review of sales and marketing literature and submission to FINRA; FINRA record keeping; and quarterly reports to the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Such distribution support services may also include: fulfillment services, including telemarketing, printing, mailing and follow-up tracking of sales leads; and licensing Adviser or Trust personnel as registered representatives of the Distributor and related supervisory activities.

• 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 Fees (a) A Member may be charged a distribution fee when a Distributor is used to sell such Member’s Interest in the amount and as set forth in the Prospectus.

• 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.

• Distribution Fee In addition to the Service Fee, the Trust, on behalf of the Series, will pay to the Distributor a fee (the "Distribution Fee") at an annual rate of 0.75% (unless reduced as contemplated by and permitted pursuant to the next sentence hereof) of the Series' average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares in consideration of the services rendered in connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. The Trust will not terminate the Distribution Fee in respect of Series assets attributable to Class B shares, or pay such fee at an annual rate of less than 0.75% of the Series' average daily net assets attributable to the Class B shares, unless it has ceased, and not resumed, paying the Service Fee (or any other fee that constitutes a "service fee" as defined in the NASD Rule) to CDC IXIS Distributors (or to any affiliate of CDC IXIS Distributors, or to any other person in circumstances where substantially all of the services and functions relating to the distribution of Class B shares of the Series have been delegated to, or are being performed by, CDC IXIS Distributors or an affiliate of CDC IXIS Distributors). Subject to such restriction and subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Distribution Fee shall be as approved from time to time by (a) the Trustees of the Trust and (b) the Independent Trustees of the Trust. The Distribution Fee shall be accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Trustees shall determine. The obligation of the Series to pay the Distribution Fee shall terminate upon the termination of this Plan or the relevant distribution agreement between the Distributor and the Trust relating to the Series, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, but until any such termination shall not be subject to any dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed a waiver by the Trust or the Series of its right separately to pursue any claims it may have against the Distributor and enforce such claims against any assets of the Distributor (other than its right to be paid the Distribution Fee and to be paid contingent deferred sales charges)). The right of CDC IXIS Distributors to receive the Distribution Fee (but not the relevant distribution agreement or CDC IXIS Distributor's obligations thereunder) may be transferred by CDC IXIS Distributors in order to raise funds which may be useful or necessary to perform its duties as principal underwriter, and any such transfer shall be effective upon written notice from CDC IXIS Distributors to the Trust. In connection with the foregoing, the Series is authorized to pay all or part of the Distribution Fee directly to such transferee as directed by CDC IXIS Distributors. The Distributor may pay all or any portion of the Distribution Fee to securities dealers or other organizations (including, but not limited to, any affiliate of the Distributor) as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Class B shares of the Series, and may retain all or any portion of the Distribution Fee as compensation for the Distributor's services as principal underwriter of the Class B shares of the Series. All payments under this Section 2 are intended to qualify as "asset-based sales charges" as defined in the NASD Rule.

• Marketing Fee Member shall pay to RPMG a Marketing Fee equal to ***. The Marketing Fee shall be paid on a monthly basis. In lieu of Member directly paying any amounts to RPMG by separate payment, the parties may offset or apply such amounts to subsequent payments to be made within RPMG's standard billing and payment cycle.
