Section 3. Neither you nor any of your officers, employees, or agents are authorized to make any representations concerning us or our Class I Shares except those contained in our then current prospectus for Class I Shares, copies of which will be supplied by us to you, or in such supplemental literature or advertising as may be authorized by us in writing.
Section 4. For all purposes of this Agreement, you will be deemed to be an independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as agent for us in any matter or in any respect. By your written acceptance of this Agreement, you agree to and do release, indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from and against any and all direct or indirect liabilities or losses resulting from requests, directions, actions or inactions of or by you or your officers, employees or agents regarding your responsibilities hereunder for the purchase, redemption, transfer or registration of Class I Shares of the Trust by or on behalf of Clients. You and your employees will, upon request, be available during normal business hours to consult with us or our designees concerning the performance of your responsibilities under this Agreement.
Section 5. In consideration of the services and facilities provided by you pursuant to Section 1 hereof, we will pay to you, and you will accept as full payment therefor, fees at the annual rate of [0.10%] of the average daily net asset value of the Class I Shares owned of record or beneficially by Clients for whom you are the dealer of record or holder of record or with whom you have a servicing relationship, such fees to be computed daily and payable monthly. For purposes of determining the fees payable under this Section 5, the daily net asset value of the Clients’ Class I Shares will be computed in the manner specified in our then current registration statement in connection with the computation of the net asset value of Class I Shares for purposes of purchases and redemptions. The fee rates stated above may be prospectively increased or decreased by us, in our sole discretion, at any time upon notice to you. Further, we may, in our discretion and without notice, suspend or withdraw the sale of Class I Shares, including the sale of such Class I Shares to you for the account of any Client or Clients.
