3. Duties of the Distributor.

(a) The Trust grants to the Distributor the exclusive right to receive all orders for purchases of Creation Units of each Fund from Participating Parties or DTC Participants which have executed a Participant Agreement (“Authorized Participants”) and to transmit such orders to the Trust in accordance with the Registration Statement and Prospectus; provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect or limit the right and ability of the Trust to accept Deposit Securities and related Cash Components through or outside the Clearing Process, and as provided in and in accordance with the Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Trust acknowledges that the Distributor shall not be obligated to accept any certain number of orders for Creation Units and nothing herein shall prevent the Distributor from entering into like distribution arrangements with other investment companies.

(b) The Distributor agrees to act as agent of the Trust with respect to the continuous distribution of Creation Units of each Fund as set forth in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the provisions thereof. The Distributor further agrees as follows: (a) at the request of the Trust, the Distributor shall enter into Participant Agreements between and among Authorized Participants, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent in accordance with the Registration Statement and Prospectus and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; (b) the Distributor shall generate and transmit confirmations of Creation Unit purchase order acceptances to the purchaser; (c) the Distributor shall deliver copies of the prospectus, included in the Registration Statement, to purchasers of such Creation Units and upon request the Statement of Additional Information; and (d) the Distributor shall maintain telephonic, facsimile and/or access to direct computer communications links with the Transfer Agent.

(c) (i) The Distributor agrees to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to facilitate the purchase of Creation Units through Authorized Participants in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus and the Participant Agreement.

(ii) The Distributor shall, when it deems necessary and at its own expense, execute the following agreements in the forms and as approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, providing for activities which the Distributor deems reasonable and appropriate and which are primarily intended to

Exhibit (e)(i)(1)

result in the sale of such Creation Units: (A) selected or soliciting dealer agreements (“Soliciting Dealer Agreements”) with registered broker-dealers and other eligible entities providing for the purchase of Creation Units of Shares of the Funds and related promotional activities, and (B) investor services agreements (“Investor Services Agreements”) with broker-dealers or other financial institutions providing for broker-dealer, investor and stockholder support, account maintenance and educational and promotional services relating to the Shares and facilitation through broker-dealers and other persons of communications with beneficial owners of Shares. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Soliciting Dealer Agreements and the Investor Services Agreements, the Distributor shall facilitate the coordination of the performance of any marketing and promotional services, including advertising; the development and implementation of any marketing plan; and clearing and filing all advertising, sales, marketing and promotional materials of the Funds with the FINRA as provided below.

(d) The Distributor agrees to administer the Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the Trust. The Distributor shall, at its own expense, set up and maintain a system of recording payments for fees and reimbursement of expenses disseminated pursuant to this Agreement and any other related agreements under the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 Plans and shall, pursuant to the 1940 Act, report such payment activity under the Distribution and Service Plan to the Trust at least quarterly.

(e) The Distributor shall provide toll-free lines, by way of the relevant Listing Exchange’s product hotline for direct investor and shareholder use between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on each day such Listing Exchange is open for business, with appropriate FINRA licensed order taking and distribution services staff.

(f) All activities by the Distributor and its agents and employees which are primarily intended to result in the sale of Creation Units shall comply with the Registration Statement and Prospectus, the instructions of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and all applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, all rules and regulations made or adopted pursuant to the 1940 Act by the Commission or any securities association registered under the 1934 Act, including the FINRA and the relevant Listing Exchange.

(g) Except as otherwise noted in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, the offering price for all Creation Units of Shares will be the aggregate net asset value of the Shares per Creation Unit of the relevant Fund, as determined in the manner described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

(h) If and whenever the determination of net asset value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no further orders for Creation Units will be processed by the Distributor except such unconditional orders as may have been placed with the Distributor before it had knowledge of the suspension. In addition, the Trust reserves the right to suspend sales and Distributor’s authority to process orders for Creation Units on behalf of the Trust, upon due notice to the Distributor, if, in the judgment of the Trust, it is in the best interests of the Trust to do so. Suspension will continue for such period as may be determined by the Trust.

(i) The Distributor is not authorized by the Trust to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or contained in shareholder reports or other material that may be prepared by or on behalf of the Trust for the Distributor’s use. The Distributor shall be entitled to rely on and shall not be responsible in any way for information provided to it by the Trust and its respective service providers and shall not be liable or responsible for the errors and omissions of such service providers, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to protect the Distributor against any liability to the Trust or the Trust’s shareholders to which the Distributor would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Exhibit (e)(i)(1)

(j) The Board of Trustees shall approve the form of any Soliciting Dealer Agreement or Investor Services Agreement to be entered into by the Distributor.

(l) The Distributor shall ensure that all direct requests for Prospectuses and Statements of Additional of Information are fulfilled. In addition, the Distributor shall arrange to provide the relevant Listing Exchange (and any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed) with copies of Prospectuses to be provided to purchasers in the secondary market. The Distributor will generally make it known in the brokerage community that prospectuses and statements of additional information are available, including by (i) advising the relevant Listing Exchange on behalf of its member firms of the same, (ii) making such disclosure in all marketing and advertising materials prepared and/or filed by the Distributor with the FINRA, and (iii) as may otherwise be required by the Commission.

(m) The Distributor agrees to make available, at the Trust’s request a member of its staff to attend Board meetings of the Trust in order to provide information with regard to the ongoing distribution process and for such other purposes as may be requested by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

(n) Review all sales and marketing materials for compliance with applicable laws and conditions of any applicable Exemptive order, and file such materials when necessary or appropriate.

(o) The Distributor is authorized to and may employ or associate with such person or persons as the Distributor may deem desirable to assist it in performing its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the compensation of such person or persons shall be paid by the Distributor and that the Distributor shall be as fully responsible to the Trust for the acts and omissions of any such person or persons as it is for its own acts and omissions.

4. Duties of the Trust.

(a) The Trust agrees to issue Creation Unit aggregations of Shares of each Fund and to request The Depository Trust Company to record on its books the ownership of such Shares in accordance with the book-entry system procedures described in the Prospectus in such amounts as the Distributor has requested through the Transfer Agent in writing or other means of data transmission, as promptly as practicable after receipt by the Trust of the requisite Deposit Securities and Cash Component (together with any fees) and acceptance of such order, upon the terms described in the Registration Statement. The Trust may reject any order for Creation Units or stop all receipts of such orders at any time upon reasonable notice to the Distributor, in accordance with the provisions of the Prospectus.

(b) The Trust agrees that it will take all action necessary to register an indefinite number of Shares under the 1933 Act. The Trust will make available to the Distributor such number of copies of its then currently effective Prospectus, or any supplement, as the Distributor require to meet its obligations hereunder or as it may otherwise reasonably request. The Trust will furnish to the Distributor copies of all information, financial statements and other papers which the Distributor may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of Creation Units. The Trust shall keep the Distributor informed of the jurisdictions in which Shares of the Trust are authorized for sale and shall promptly notify the Distributor of any change in this information. The Distributor shall not be liable for damages resulting from the sale of Shares in authorized jurisdictions where the Distributor had no information from the Trust that such sale or sales were unauthorized at the time of such sale or sales.

Exhibit (e)(i)(1)

(c) The Trust represents to the Distributor that the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed by the Trust with the Commission with respect to the Trust have been prepared in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Trust will notify the Distributor promptly of any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus and any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

5. Fees and Expenses.

(a) The Trust will, with respect to each Fund, pay to the Distributor all fees and expenses pursuant to the terms of the Distribution and Service Plan in effect for each respective Fund.

(b) The Distributor will bear the following costs and expenses relating to the distribution of Creation Units of the Funds: (a) the costs of processing and maintaining records of creations of Creation Units; (b) the costs of maintaining the records required of a broker-dealer registered under the 1934 Act; (c) the expenses of maintaining its registration or qualification as a dealer or broker under federal or state laws; (d) the expenses incurred by the Distributor in connection with normal (non-expedited) FINRA filing fees; and (e) all other expenses incurred in connection with the distribution services contemplated herein, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

(c) The Distributor shall pay, from the fees received by it from the Funds pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 Plans, all fees and make reimbursement of expenses, pursuant to and in accordance with any and all Soliciting Dealer and/or Investor Services Agreements, as approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. Further, the Distributor will pay, from the fees received by it from the Funds pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 Plans, all fees with respect to expedited FINRA filing fees.

6. Indemnification.

(a) The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and any soliciting dealer that enters into a Soliciting Dealer Agreement with the Distributor, which provides for such indemnification, in the form approved by the Board of Trustees (each an “Indemnified Dealer”) and each of the directors, officers, agents and employees and any person who controls the Distributor or the Indemnified Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (any of the Distributor, any Indemnified Dealer, their officers, agents, employees and directors or such control persons, for purposes of this paragraph, an “Indemnitee”) against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or based upon an allegation or the claim that the Registration Statement, Prospectus, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (and in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. The Trust will also not indemnify any Indemnitee with respect to any untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus that is subsequently corrected in such document (or an amendment thereof or supplement thereto) if a copy of the Prospectus (or such

Exhibit (e)(i)(1)

amendment or supplement) was not sent or given to the person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense at or before the written confirmation to such person in any case where such delivery is required by the 1933 Act and the Trust had notified the Distributor of the amendment or supplement prior to the sending of the confirmation. In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of any Indemnitee to be deemed to protect the Indemnitee against any liability to the Trust or its shareholders to which the Indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Trust to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against any Indemnitee unless the Indemnitee shall have notified the Trust in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon Indemnitee (or after Indemnitee shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Trust of any claim shall not relieve the Trust from any liability which it may have to any Indemnitee against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. The Trust 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 claims, but if the Trust elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event the Trust elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Trust does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Indemnitee, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Trust agrees to notify the Distributor and any Indemnified Dealer promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the issuance or sale of any of the Creation Units or the Shares.

(b) The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and each of its Trustees and officers and any person who controls the Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (for purposes of this paragraph, the Trust and each of its Trustees and officers and its controlling persons are collectively referred to as the “Trust Affiliates”) against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which the Trust Affiliate may incur under the 1933 Act or any other statute or common law, but only to the extent that such loss, liability, claim, damages or expense shall arise out of or be based upon (i) the allegation of any wrongful act of the Distributor or any of its employees or (ii) allegation that the Registration Statement, Prospectus, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading, insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with written information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Distributor in favor of any Trust Affiliate to be deemed to protect any Trust Affiliate against any liability to the Trust or its security holders to which such Trust Affiliate would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Distributor to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against any Trust Affiliate unless the Trust Affiliate shall have notified the Distributor in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or the first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Trust Affiliate (or after the Trust Affiliate shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Distributor of any claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which it may have to the Trust Affiliate against whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. 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 the

Exhibit (e)(i)(1)

claim, but if the Distributor elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Trust, its officers and Board and to any controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event that Distributor elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Trust or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the 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 suit, it will reimburse the Trust, its officers and Board or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Distributor agrees to notify the Trust promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issuance and sale of any of the shares.

(c) No indemnified party shall settle any claim against it for which it intends to seek indemnification from the indemnifying party, under the terms of section 6(a) or 6(b) above, without the prior written notice to and consent from the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnified or indemnifying party shall settle any claim unless the settlement contains a full release of liability with respect to the other party in respect of such action. This section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit (e)(i)(1)

(b) During such period as the Distributor receives compensation pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, and this Agreement constitutes a 12b-1 Plan related agreement, (i) any material amendment to this Agreement requires the approval provided for in paragraph (a) with respect to annual renewals of this Agreement, and (ii) any amendment that materially increases the amount to be spent for distribution services requires the additional approval of the majority of the Trust’s outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of each affected Fund; and (iii) the selection and nomination of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Trust shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees of the Trust who are not such “interested persons” of the Trust;

(c) No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which an enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought;
