AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of January, 2002, between Heartland
Group, Inc. ("HGI"), having its principal place of business at 000 X. Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, and Heartland Investor Services LLC
("Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BISYS Fund Services, Inc., having
its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000.
WHEREAS, HGI is an open-end management investment company, organized
as a Maryland corporation and registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, it is intended that Distributor act as the distributor of the
shares of common stock ("Shares") of each of the investment portfolios of HGI
identified in Schedule A, as the same may be modified from time to time with the
----------
mutual consent of the parties (such portfolios being referred to individually as
a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services as Distributor.
1.1 Distributor will act as agent of HGI on behalf of each
Fund for the distribution of the Shares covered by the registration statement
and prospectus of HGI then in effect under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"). As used in this Agreement, the term
"registration statement" shall mean the registration statement and any
amendments thereto, then in effect, including Parts A (the prospectus), B (the
Statement of Additional Information) and C of each registration statement, as
filed on Form N-1A, or any successor thereto, with the Commission. The term
"prospectus" shall mean the then-current form of prospectus and statement of
additional information used by the Funds, in accordance with the rules of the
Commission, for delivery to shareholders and prospective shareholders after the
effective date of the registration statement, together with any amendments and
supplements thereto.
1.2 Distributor agrees to use appropriate efforts to solicit
orders for the sale of the Shares and will undertake such advertising and
promotion as it believes reasonable in connection with such solicitation. HGI
understands that Distributor is now and may in the future be the distributor of
the shares of many other investment companies or series (together, "Investment
Companies") including Investment Companies having investment objectives similar
to those of HGI. HGI further understands that investors and potential investors
in HGI may invest in shares of such other Investment Companies. HGI agrees that
Distributor's duties to such Investment
Companies shall not be deemed in conflict with its duties to HGI under this
paragraph 1.2.
2
Distributor shall engage in activities which it in good xxxxx xxxxx
reasonable, which are primarily intended to result in the sale of the Shares,
including, but not limited to, advertising, compensation of underwriters,
dealers and sales personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other
than current shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature.
1.3 In its capacity as distributor of the Shares, all activities of
Distributor and its partners, agents, and employees shall comply with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the 1940
Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission, all state laws, rules and regulations governing
brokers and dealers and their personnel in all states where the Shares are
offered and sold, and under those Acts and all rules and regulations adopted by
any securities association or self regulatory agency registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including, without limitation, the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.).
1.4 Distributor will provide one or more persons, during normal
business hours, to respond to telephone questions with respect to HGI.
1.5 Distributor will transmit any orders received by it for
purchase or redemption of the Shares to the transfer agent and custodian for the
Funds.
1.6 The Distributor will accept orders for the purchase of shares
of each Fund only to the extent of purchase orders actually received and not in
excess of such orders. HGI may upon reasonable notice instruct the Distributor
to reject purchase orders where, in its judgment, such rejection is in the best
interest of HGI. In addition, Distributor may reject purchase orders where, in
its judgment, such order would be improper or illegal, or where rejection would
otherwise be in the best interest of HGI.
1.7 Whenever in their judgment such action is warranted by unusual
market, economic or political conditions, or by abnormal circumstances of any
kind, HGI's officers may upon reasonable notice instruct the Distributor to
decline to accept any orders for, or make any sales of, the Shares until such
time as those officers deem it advisable to accept such orders and to make such
sales.
1.8 Distributor will act only on its own behalf as principal if it
chooses to enter into selling agreements with selected dealers or others.
1.9 HGI agrees at its own expense to execute any and all documents
and to furnish any and all information and otherwise to take all actions that
may be reasonably necessary in connection with the qualification of the Shares
for sale in such states as Distributor may designate.
1.10 HGI shall furnish from time to time, for use in connection with
the sale of the Shares, such information with respect to the Funds and the
Shares as Distributor may reasonably request; and HGI warrants that the
statements contained in any such information shall fairly show or represent what
they purport to show or represent. HGI shall also furnish Distributor upon
request with: (a) unaudited semi-annual financial statements of the Funds
prepared by HGI, (b) a monthly itemized list of
3
the securities in the Funds, (c) monthly balance sheets as soon as practicable
after the end of each month, and (d) from time to time such additional
information regarding the financial condition of the Funds as Distributor may
reasonably request.
1.11 HGI represents and warrants to Distributor that, with respect
to the Shares, all registration statements and prospectuses filed by HGI with
the Commission under the Securities Act have been carefully prepared in
conformity with requirements of said Act and rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder. The registration statement and prospectus contain all
statements required to be stated therein in conformity with said Act and the
rules and regulations of said Commission and all statements of fact contained in
any such registration statement and prospectus are true and correct.
Furthermore, neither any registration statement nor any prospectus includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
to a purchaser of the Shares. The foregoing representations and warranties shall
continue throughout the term of this Agreement and be deemed to be of a
continuing nature, applicable to all Shares distributed hereunder. HGI may, but
shall not be obligated to, propose from time to time such amendment or
amendments to any registration statement and such supplement or supplements to
any prospectus as, in the light of future developments, may, in the opinion of
HGI, be necessary or advisable. If Distributor, on the advice of its legal
counsel, determines that an amendment to any registration statement or
supplement to any prospectus is required under law, and if HGI does not propose
such amendment or amendments and/or supplement or supplements within fifteen
days after receipt by HGI of a written request from Distributor to do so,
Distributor may, at its option, terminate this Agreement. In such case, the
Distributor will be held harmless from, and indemnified by HGI for, any
liability or loss resulting from the failure to implement such amendment. HGI
shall not file any amendment to any registration statement or supplement to any
prospectus without giving Distributor reasonable notice thereof in advance;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way
limit HGI's right to file at any time such amendments to any registration
statement and/or supplements to any prospectus, of whatever character, as HGI
may deem advisable, such right being in all respects absolute and unconditional.
1.12 HGI may request Distributor to use an electronic processing
system over the internet in which electronically transmitted orders are
forwarded electronically for processing by a third party known to HGI under
circumstances in which Distributor will not review the orders. Under such
circumstances, HGI acknowledges and agrees that it will independently determine
that the third party is a satisfactory service provider and that Distributor's
review will not be necessary. HGI authorizes Distributor and dealers to use any
prospectus in the form furnished from time to time in connection with the sale
of the Shares.
The Distributor shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by HGI in connection with the matters to
which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence on the Distributor's part in the performance of
its duties, from reckless disregard by Distributor of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement, or from
4
Distributor's failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to
it in connection with its distribution of the Shares. HGI agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Distributor, its several partners and employees, and any person
who controls Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and
expenses (including the cost of investigating or defending such claims, demands
or liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which
Distributor, its partners and employees, or any such controlling person, may
incur (a) arising out of or based upon the electronic processing of orders over
the internet; (b) as the result of acting as distributor of the Funds or based
on any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services
hereunder; (c) based on any representations made herein by HGI; (d) based on any
act or omission of any prior distributor, or any administrator or investment
adviser to HGI, including the registration or failure to register any shares of
HGI in accordance with state or federal laws or resulting from or relating to
any books or records delivered to the Distributor in connection with its
responsibilities under this Agreement and occurring prior to the date of this
Agreement; or (e) under the Securities Act or under common law or otherwise,
arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement, or alleged untrue
statement, of a material fact contained in any registration statement or any
prospectus, (ii) any omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact
required to be stated in any registration statement or any prospectus or
necessary to make the statements in either thereof not misleading or (iii) any
Company advertisement or sales literature that is not in compliance with
applicable laws, rules or regulations (including, but not limited to the Conduct
Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.); provided,
however, that HGI's agreement to indemnify Distributor, its partners or
employees, and any such controlling person shall not be deemed to cover any
claims, demands, liabilities or expenses (x) arising out of any statements or
representations as are contained in any prospectus, advertisement or sales
literature and in such financial and other statements as are furnished in
writing to HGI by Distributor and used in the registration statement or in
corresponding statements made in the prospectus, advertisement or sales
literature, or (y) arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact in such information furnished by the Distributor which
is required to be stated or necessary to make the information not misleading;
and further provided that HGI's agreement to indemnify Distributor and HGI's
representations and warranties hereinbefore set forth in paragraph 1.12 shall
not be deemed to cover any liability to HGI or its shareholders to which
Distributor would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, by reason of
Distributor's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement, or by Distributor's failure to comply with any laws, rules or
regulations applicable to it in connection with its distribution of the Shares.
In the event of a formal legal action, HGI's agreement to indemnify
Distributor, its partners and employees and any such controlling person, as
aforesaid, is expressly conditioned upon HGI being notified of an action brought
against Distributor, its partners or employees, or any such controlling person,
such notification to be given by letter or by telegram addressed to HGI at its
principal office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and identifying the person against whom
such action is brought, promptly following receipt of service of the summons or
other first legal process, and in any event within
5
ten (10) days of such receipt. HGI will be entitled to assume the defense of any
suit brought to enforce any such claim, demand or liability if such defense
shall be conducted by counsel of good standing approved by Distributor, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event HGI elects to assume
the defense of any such suit and retain counsel of good standing so approved by
Distributor, the defendant or defendants in such suit shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by any of them; but in any case
where HGI does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, or in case
Distributor reasonably withholds approval of counsel chosen by HGI, HGI will
reimburse Distributor, its partners and employees, or the controlling person or
persons named as defendant or defendants in such suit, for the fees and expenses
of any counsel retained by Distributor or them. HGI's indemnification agreement
contained in this paragraph 1.12 and HGI's representations and warranties in
this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of Distributor, its partners and
employees, or any controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of any
Shares.
This agreement of indemnity will inure exclusively to Distributor's
benefit, to the benefit of its several partners and employees, and their
respective estates, and to the benefit of the Distributor's parent company,
controlling persons and their successors. HGI agrees promptly to notify
Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against HGI or
any of its officers or Directors which relate, directly or indirectly, to the
issue and sale of any Shares or which may otherwise form the basis of an
obligation for HGI to indemnify hereunder.
1.13 Distributor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold HGI, its
several officers and Directors, and any person who controls HGI within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, free and harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the costs of
investigating or defending such claims, demands, or liabilities and any
reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which HGI, its
officers or Directors or any such controlling person, may incur arising directly
out of or based directly upon (a) any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a
material fact contained in information furnished in writing by Distributor to
HGI and used in response to required items of the registration statement or in
the corresponding statements made in the prospectus, or any omission, or alleged
omission, to state a material fact required to be stated in such information or
necessary to make such information not misleading, or (b) arising directly out
of Distributor's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties, Distributor's reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement, or Distributor's failure to comply with any
law, rule or regulation applicable to it in connection with its distribution of
the Shares.
Distributor's agreement to indemnify HGI, its officers and Directors
and any such controlling person, as aforesaid, is expressly conditioned upon
Distributor being notified of any action brought against HGI, its officers or
Directors, or any such controlling person, such notification to be given by
letter or telegram addressed to Distributor at its principal office in Columbus,
Ohio, and sent to Distributor identifying the person against whom such action is
brought, promptly following the indemnified person's receipt of service of the
summons or other first legal process, and in any event
6
within ten (10) days of such receipt. Distributor will be entitled to assume the
defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim, demand or liability if
such defense shall be conducted by counsel of good standing approved by HGI,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Distributor
elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain counsel of good
standing so approved by HGI, the defendant or defendants in such suit shall bear
the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by any of them; but in
any case where Distributor does not elect to assume the defense of any such
suit, or in the case HGI reasonably withholds approval of counsel chosen by
Distributor, Distributor will reimburse HGI, its officers, directors, employees
and controlling persons or other persons named as defendant or defendants in
such suit for the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by HGI or them.
Distributor's indemnification agreement contained in this paragraph 1.13 and
Distributor's representations and warranties in this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of HGI, its officers, directors and employees, or any controlling
person.
1.14 No Shares shall be offered by either Distributor or HGI under
any of the provisions of this Agreement and no orders for the purchase or sale
of Shares hereunder shall be accepted by HGI or its transfer agent if and so
long as the effectiveness of the registration statement then in effect or any
necessary amendments thereto shall be suspended under any of the provisions of
the Securities Act or if and so long as a current prospectus as required by
Section 10(b)(2) of said Act is not on file with the Commission; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this paragraph 1.14 shall in any way restrict
or have an application to or bearing upon HGI's obligation to repurchase Shares
from any Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of HGI's prospectus,
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
1.15 HGI agrees to advise Distributor as soon as reasonably
practical by a notice in writing delivered to Distributor:
(a) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the
registration statement or prospectus then in effect or
for additional information;
(b) in the event of the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement or prospectus then in effect or
the initiation by service of process on HGI of any
proceeding for that purpose;
(c) of the happening of any event that makes untrue any
statement of a material fact made in the registration
statement or prospectus then in effect or which requires
the making of a change in such registration statement or
prospectus in order to make the statements therein not
misleading; and
7
(d) of all action of the Commission with respect to any
amendment to any registration statement or prospectus
which may from time to time be filed with the
Commission.
For purposes of this section, informal requests by or acts of the
Staff of the Commission shall not be deemed actions of or requests by the
Commission.
1.16 Distributor agrees on behalf of itself and its partners and
employees to treat confidentially and as proprietary information of HGI all
records and other information relative to HGI and its prior, present or
potential shareholders, and not to use such records and information for any
purpose other than performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder,
except, after prior notification to and approval in writing by HGI, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where
Distributor may be exposed to civil or criminal liability for failure to comply,
when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or
when so requested by HGI.

Ohio.
