(b) Underwriter may engage in such activities as the parties deem appropriate in connection with the promotion and sale of the Shares, including those activities listed on Schedule B attached hereto, which may be amended from time to time. Underwriter shall have no obligation to make any payments to any third parties, whether as financing of commissions, sales concessions or similar payments; finder’s fees; compensation; or otherwise, unless: (i) Underwriter has received a corresponding payment from the Trust as described in Section 7 of this Agreement, from the Trust’s investment adviser or from another source as may be permitted by applicable law, and (ii) such corresponding payment has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

Indemnitees”) against any loss, damage or expense (including the reasonable costs of investigating or defending any claim, action, suit or proceeding and any reasonable counsel fees) reasonably incurred by Trust/Investment Adviser Indemnitees in connection with any claim or in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (“Claims”) to which any of them may be a party, which arises out of or is alleged to arise out of or is based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Trust-related advertisement or sales literature, or upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such materials necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission, was furnished in writing, or omitted from the relevant writing furnished, as the case may be, to the Trust by the Underwriter or any agent or employee of Underwriter or any other person for whose acts Underwriter is responsible, for use in the Registration Statement or in corresponding statements made in any advertisement or sales literature, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished by the Trust; (b) the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Underwriter in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or the Underwriter’s reckless disregard of its obligations under this Agreement; (c) the Underwriter’s failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to it in connection with its activities hereunder; or (d) Underwriter’s failure to exercise reasonable care and diligence with respect to its services, if any, rendered in connection with investment, reinvestment, automatic withdrawal and other plans for Shares; provided, however, that the Underwriter’s agreement to indemnify the Trust/Investment Adviser Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 8 shall not be construed to cover any Claims (A) arising out of or based upon the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trust in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the Trust’s or Investment Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations under this Agreement; or (B) arising out of or based upon the Trust’s or Investment Adviser’s failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to it in connection with its activities hereunder. The term “expenses” for purposes of Sections 8 and 9 includes amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments or in settlements which are made with the indemnifying party’s consent. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Trust, the Investment Adviser or each such person may be entitled as a matter of law.

In the event of a Claim for which the Trust/Investment Adviser Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Trust or Investment Adviser shall fully and promptly advise the Underwriter in writing of all pertinent facts concerning such Claim, but failure to do so in good faith shall not affect the Underwriter’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Underwriter is materially prejudiced thereby. The Underwriter will be entitled to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such Claim if such defense shall be conducted by counsel of good standing chosen by the Underwriter and approved by the Trust or Investment Adviser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

In the event the Underwriter elects to assume the

defense of any such suit and retain counsel of good standing so approved by the Trust or Investment Adviser, the Trust/Investment Adviser Indemnitees in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by any of them, but in any case where the Underwriter does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit or in case the Trust or Investment Adviser reasonably withholds approval of counsel chosen by the Underwriter, the Underwriter will reimburse the Trust/Investment Adviser Indemnitees named as defendants in such suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them to the extent related to a Claim covered under this Section 8.

Registration Statement or in corresponding statements made in the prospectus, advertisement or sales literature; (B) arising out of or based upon the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, including clerical errors and mechanical failures, on the part of any of such persons in the performance of Underwriter’s duties or from the reckless disregard by any of such persons of Underwriter’s obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (C) arising out of or based upon the Underwriter’s failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to it in connection with its activities hereunder, for all of which exceptions Underwriter shall be liable to the Trust and Investment Adviser.

In the event of a Claim for which the Underwriter Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Underwriter shall fully and promptly advise the Trust and Investment Adviser in writing of all pertinent facts concerning such Claim, but failure to do so in good faith shall not affect the Trust and Investment Adviser’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Trust and Investment Adviser are materially prejudiced thereby. The Trust and Investment Adviser will be entitled to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such Claim if such defense shall be conducted by counsel of good standing chosen by the Trust and Investment Adviser and approved by the Underwriter, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event any such suit is not based solely on an alleged untrue statement, omission, or wrongful act on the Trust and Investment Adviser’s part, the Underwriter shall have the right to participate in the defense. In the event the Trust and Investment Adviser elect to assume the defense of any such suit and retain counsel of good standing so approved by the Underwriter, the Underwriter Indemnitees in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by any of them, but in any case where the Trust and Investment Adviser do not elect to assume the defense of any such suit or in case the Underwriter reasonably withholds approval of counsel chosen by the Trust and Investment Adviser, the Trust and Investment Adviser will reimburse the Underwriter Indemnitees named as defendants in such suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them to the extent related to a Claim covered under this Section 9. The Trust and Investment Adviser’s indemnification agreement contained in this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter Indemnitees, and shall survive the delivery of any Shares.

10.

Termination and Amendment of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended only if such amendment is approved (i) by Underwriter and (ii) either by action of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or of Underwriter as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Independent Trustees”) or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Trust and (iii) Investment Adviser.

If any party hereto commits a material violation of any term of this Agreement for which it is obligated, and such violation is not cured by such party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a notice of such violation from another party to this Agreement,

then such other party or parties may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other parties to this Agreement and all non-breaching parties shall be entitled to all legally available remedies against the breaching party including damages relating to early termination.

Either the Trust, the Investment Adviser or Underwriter may at any time terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days written notice delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party.

In the event the Investment Adviser terminates this agreement for any reason, Investment Adviser shall be responsible for the following obligations:

(a) Post-employment severance and benefits, if any, for the Sales Staff. This includes any expenses related to the legal requirement the Underwriter may have to offer COBRA health coverage to the Sales Staff post-employment.

(b) Legal and settlement expenses, if any, related to litigation or threatened litigation by the Sales Staff specifically concerning the severance and benefits of such Sales Staff, provided, however that JOHCM instructed the Underwriter to take such actions which impacted the severance and benefits in accordance with this Agreement.
