THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 10th day of November, 2011, by and between THE AEGIS FUNDS, a Delaware business trust (the “Fund”) and QUASAR DISTRIBUTORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Distributor”). AEGIS FINANCIAL CORPORATION, the investment advisor to the Fund (the “Advisor”), is a party hereto with respect to Section 5 only.

WHEREAS, the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in separate series, with each such series representing interests in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets;

WHEREAS, the Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”);

WHEREAS, the Fund desires to retain the Distributor as principal underwriter in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares of each series of the Fund listed on Exhibit A hereto (as amended from time to time) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”); and

WHEREAS, this Agreement has been approved by a vote of the Fund’s board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees” or the “Board”), including its disinterested trustees voting separately, in conformity with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.	Appointment of Quasar as Distributor

The Fund hereby appoints the Distributor as its agent for the sale and distribution of Shares of the Fund in jurisdictions wherein the Shares may be legally offered for sale, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Distributor hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the services and duties set forth in this Agreement. The services and duties of the Distributor shall be confined to those matters expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against the Distributor hereunder.

2.	Services and Duties of the Distributor

The Distributor agrees to sell Shares on a best efforts basis as agent for the Fund upon the terms and at the current offering price (plus sales charge, if any) described in the Prospectus. As used in this Agreement, the term “Prospectus” shall mean the current prospectus, including the statement of additional information, as both may be amended or supplemented, relating to the Fund and included in the currently effective registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) of the Fund filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and the 1940 Act. The Fund shall in all cases receive the net asset value per Share on all sales. If a sales charge is in effect, the Distributor shall remit the sales charge (or portion thereof) to broker-dealers who have sold Shares, as described in Section 2(G), below. In no event shall the Distributor be entitled to all or any portion of such sales charge.

Subject to the terms hereof, during the continuous public offering of Shares, the Distributor will hold itself available to receive orders, satisfactory to the Distributor, for the purchase of Shares and will accept such orders on behalf of the Fund. Such purchase orders shall be deemed effective at the time and in the manner set forth in the Prospectus.

The Distributor, with the operational assistance of the Fund’s transfer agent, shall make Shares available for sale and redemption through the National Securities Clearing Corporation’s Fund/SERV System.

The Distributor acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to provide any information or make any representations other than as contained in the Prospectus and any sales literature specifically approved by the Fund.

The Distributor agrees to cooperate with the Fund or its agent in the development of all proposed advertisements and sales literature relating to the Fund. The Distributor agrees to review all proposed advertisements and sales literature (“Communications with the Public”) for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and shall file with appropriate regulators those advertisements and sales literature it believes are in compliance with such laws and regulations. If the Distributor believes any advertisements and sales literature are not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, Distributor will promptly provide notice to the Fund of the reasons thereof. The Distributor agrees to furnish to the Fund any comments provided by regulators with respect to such materials and to use its best efforts to obtain the approval of the regulators to such materials.

The Distributor, at its sole discretion, may repurchase Shares offered for sale by shareholders of the Fund. Repurchase of Shares by the Distributor shall be at the price determined in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in, the Prospectus. At the end of each business day, the Distributor shall notify the Fund and its transfer agent, by any appropriate means, of the orders for repurchase of Shares received by the Distributor since the last report, the amount to be paid for such Shares and the identity of the shareholders offering Shares for repurchase. The Fund reserves the right to suspend such repurchase right upon written notice to the Distributor. The Distributor further agrees to act as agent for the Fund to receive and transmit promptly to the Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder requests for redemption of Shares.

The Distributor shall, at the direction of the Fund, enter into agreements with such qualified broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries, in order that such broker-dealers or intermediaries may provide distribution and related services with regard to the Shares of the Fund or otherwise make Shares of the Fund available for sale or distribution. The form of any dealer/intermediary agreement shall be approved by the Fund. Distributor agrees that the terms of any dealer/intermediary agreement that Distributor enters into with a dealer or intermediary will require the broker-dealer or intermediary to conform to and provide services in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Statement and all applicable rules and regulations relating to the offer and sale of Shares. To the extent there is a sales charge in effect, the Distributor shall pay the applicable sales charge (or portion thereof), or allow a discount, to the selling broker-dealer, as described in the Prospectus.

The Distributor shall devote its best efforts to effect sales of Shares of the Fund but shall not be obligated to sell any certain number of Shares.

The Distributor shall prepare reports for the Board regarding its activities under this Agreement as from time to time shall be reasonably requested by the Board, including reports regarding the use of any 12b-1 payments received by the Distributor.

The Distributor agrees to advise the Fund promptly in writing of the initiation of any proceedings against it by the SEC or its staff, FINRA or any state regulatory authority.

The Distributor shall monitor amounts paid under Rule 12b-1 plans and pursuant to sales loads to ensure compliance with applicable FINRA rules.

7.	Indemnification

The Fund shall indemnify, defend and hold the Distributor and each of its managers, officers, employees, representatives and any person who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Distributor Indemnitees”), free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) that are incurred by any Distributor Indemnitee (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or in any annual or interim report to shareholders, or in any advertisements or sales literature filed or made public by the Fund, or (ii) arising out of or based upon any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) based upon the Fund’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from the Fund’s bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Fund’s obligation to indemnify the Distributor Indemnitees shall not be deemed to cover any Losses arising out of any untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, annual or interim report, or any advertisement or sales literature in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Distributor and furnished to the Fund or its counsel by the Distributor for the purpose of, and used in, the preparation thereof. The Fund’s agreement to indemnify the Distributor Indemnitees is expressly conditioned upon the Fund being notified of such action or claim of loss brought against the Distributor Indemnitees within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Distributor Indemnitees, unless the failure to give notice does not prejudice the Fund; provided, that the failure so to notify the Fund of any such action shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which the Fund may have to the person against whom such action is brought by reason of any such untrue statement or omission, otherwise than on account of the Fund’s indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(A). In no case is the indemnity of the Fund to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any Distributor Indemnitee against any liability to the Fund, any Fund or its shareholders to which the Distributor or such person otherwise would be subject by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

The Fund shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such Losses, but if the Fund elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Fund and approved by the Distributor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the Distributor Indemnitees in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Fund does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, or in case the Distributor does not, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, approve of counsel chosen by the Fund, or if under prevailing law or legal codes of ethics, the same counsel cannot effectively represent the interests of both the Fund and the Distributor Indemnitees, the Fund will reimburse the Distributor Indemnitees for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Fund’s indemnification agreement contained in Sections 7(A) and 7(B) herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Distributor Indemnitees and shall survive the delivery of any Shares and the termination of this Agreement. This agreement of indemnity will inure exclusively to the benefit of the Distributor Indemnitees and their successors. The Fund agrees promptly to notify the Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Fund or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Shares.

The Fund shall advance attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by any Distributor Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action or suit which is the subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.

The Distributor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Fund and each of its trustees, officers, employees, representatives and any person who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitees”), free and harmless from and against any and all Losses that are incurred by any Fund Indemnitee (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or in any annual or interim report to shareholders, or in any advertisements or sales literature prepared by the Distributor, or (ii) arising out of or based upon any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement not misleading, or (iii) based upon the Distributor’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or breach of its representations and warranties herein or from Distributor’s bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), above, the Distributor’s obligation to indemnify the Fund Indemnitees shall only be deemed to cover Losses arising out of any untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, annual or interim report, or any advertisement or sales literature in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Distributor and furnished to the Fund or its counsel by the Distributor for the purpose of, and used in, the preparation thereof. The Distributor’s agreement to indemnify the Fund Indemnitees is expressly conditioned upon the Distributor being notified of any action or claim of loss brought against the Fund Indemnitees within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Fund Indemnitees, unless the failure to give notice does not prejudice the Distributor; provided, that the failure so to notify the Distributor of any such action shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which the Distributor may have to the person against whom such action is brought by reason of any such untrue statement or omission, otherwise than on account of the Distributor’s indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(D).

The Distributor shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such Losses, but if the Distributor elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Distributor and approved by the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Distributor elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the Fund Indemnitees in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Distributor does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, or in case the Fund does not, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, approve of counsel chosen by the Distributor, or if under prevailing law or legal codes of ethics, the same counsel cannot effectively represent the interests of both the Fund Indemnitees and the Distributor, the Distributor will reimburse the Fund Indemnitees for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Distributor’s indemnification agreement contained in Sections 7(D) and 7(E) herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Fund Indemnitees and shall survive the delivery of any Shares and the termination of this Agreement. This agreement of indemnity will inure exclusively to the benefit of the Fund Indemnitees and their successors. The Distributor agrees promptly to notify the Fund of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Distributor or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Shares.

The Distributor shall advance attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by any Fund Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action or suit which is the subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.

No party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other parties for consequential, special or punitive damages under any provision of this Agreement.

No person shall be obligated to provide indemnification under this Section 7 if such indemnification would be impermissible under the 1940 Act, the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or the rules of FINRA; provided, however, in such event indemnification shall be provided under this Section 7 to the maximum extent so permissible.

8.	Proprietary and Confidential Information

The Distributor agrees on behalf of itself and its managers, officers, and employees to treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Fund, all records and other information relative to the Fund and prior, present or potential shareholders of the Fund (and clients of said shareholders), and not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except (i) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where the Distributor may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply, (ii) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or (iii) when so requested by the Fund. Records and other information which have become known to the public through no wrongful act of the Distributor or any of its employees, agents or representatives, and information that was already in the possession of the Distributor prior to receipt thereof from the Fund or its agent, shall not be subject to this paragraph.

Further, the Distributor will adhere to the privacy policies adopted by the Fund pursuant to Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, as may be modified from time to time. In this regard, the Distributor shall have in place and maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards reasonably designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of, and to prevent unauthorized access to or use of, records and information relating to the Fund and its shareholders.

Records

The Distributor shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder in the form and manner, and for such period, as it may deem advisable and is agreeable to the Fund, but not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of appropriate government authorities, in particular, Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. The Distributor agrees that all such records prepared or maintained by the Distributor relating to the services to be performed by the Distributor hereunder are the property of the Fund and will be preserved, maintained, and made available in accordance with such applicable sections and rules of the 1940 Act and will be promptly surrendered to the Fund or its designee on and in accordance with its request.

10.	Compliance with Laws

The Fund has and retains primary responsibility for all compliance matters relating to the Fund, including but not limited to compliance with the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the policies and limitations of the Fund relating to its portfolio investments as set forth in its Prospectus and statement of additional information. The Distributor’s services hereunder shall not relieve the Fund of its responsibilities for assuring such compliance or the Board of Director’s oversight responsibility with respect thereto.

11.	Term of Agreement; Amendment; Assignment

This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Fund listed on Exhibit A hereof as of the date hereof and, with respect to each Fund not in existence on that date, on the date an amendment to Exhibit A to this Agreement relating to that Fund is executed. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from the date hereof. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect automatically as to each Fund for successive one-year periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (i) the Fund’s Board, or (ii) the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, and provided that in either event, the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Fund’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated, without the payment of any penalty, with respect to a particular Fund: (i) through a failure to renew this Agreement at the end of a term, (ii) upon mutual consent of the parties, or (iii) upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, by the Fund or by the Distributor. The terms of this Agreement shall not be waived, altered, modified, amended or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by the Distributor and the Fund. If required under the 1940 Act, any such amendment must be approved by the Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Fund’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting for the purpose of voting on such amendment. In the event that such amendment affects the Advisor, the written instrument shall also be signed by the Advisor. This Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment.”

As used in this Section, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “interested person,” and “assignment” shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the 1940 Act.

Sections 7 and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

12.	Duties in the Event of Termination

In the event that, in connection with termination, a successor to any of the Distributor’s duties or responsibilities hereunder is designated by the Fund by written notice to the Distributor, the Distributor will promptly, upon such termination and at the expense of the Fund, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by the Distributor under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Fund (if such form differs from the form in which the Distributor has maintained the same, the Fund shall pay any expenses associated with transferring the data to such form), and will cooperate in the transfer of such duties and responsibilities, including provision for assistance from the Distributor’s personnel in the establishment of books, records, and other data by such successor. If no such successor is designated, then such books, records and other data shall be returned to the Fund.

13. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflicts of law principles. To the extent that the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin, or any of the provisions herein, conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control, and nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act or any rule or order of the SEC thereunder.

14. No Agency Relationship

The Distributor shall be an independent contractor of the Fund and neither the Distributor nor any of its managers, officers, employees, representatives or agents as such, is or shall be an employee of the Fund.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict (1) the Distributor from providing services to other parties that are similar or identical to some or all of the services provided hereunder or (2) the Fund from selling Shares directly to investors through subscriptions received by the Fund or its agents. In addition, the rights given under this Agreement to the Distributor shall not apply to Shares issued by the Fund or any Fund in connection with (a) the merger, consolidation or reorganization of any other fund with a Fund, (b) a Fund’s acquisition by purchase or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of any other investment company, (c) the reinvestment in Shares by a Fund’s shareholders of dividends or other distributions or (d) any other offering by the Fund of Shares to its shareholders.
