SELLING DEALER AGREEMENT
Amended July 23, 2003
First Pacific Securities, Inc., principal underwriter of the capital
stock of the Hawaii Municipal Fund and the Hawaii Intermediate Fund series of
First Pacific Mutual Fund, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Fund"),
cordially invites you to become a member of the Selling Group which distributes
the Fund's shares. We base our offer of membership to you on our understanding
that you are a member of the National Association of Securities Dealer, Inc.
and also on the understanding that you agree to act in accordance with the
following terms:
1. You and we agree to abide by the Conduct Rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and all other rules and
regulations that are now or may become applicable to transactions
hereunder.
2. Orders for shares received from you and accepted by us will be executed
at the public offering price applicable to each order as established by
the prospectus of the Fund, including any applicable sales load waivers.
The procedure relating to the handling of orders shall be subject to
instructions which we shall forward from time to time to all members of
the Selling Group. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and we
reserve the right in our sole discretion to reject any order.
3. (a) At the time of sale, checks shall be made out to the Fund and the
principal underwriter of the Fund will rebate to you a concession equal
to the amount set forth in the then current prospectus of the Fund.
(b) We agree to pay you a quarterly amount in arrears equal to
distribution expenses actually incurred, not to exceed a maximum amount
of 0.25% of the net asset value of Fund accounts attributable to your
sales efforts, until the earlier of the date on which the net assets
subject to this Agreement are redeemed out of the Fund by the shareholder
of the date of termination or material amendment of the Fund's Rule 12b-1
Distribution Plan.
4. As a member of the Selling Group, you agree to purchase shares only from
us as agent for the Fund or from your customers. Purchases from us shall
be made only for the purpose of covering purchase orders already received
from your customers (who may be any persons other than a securities
dealer or broker) or for your own bona fide investment. Purchases from
your customers shall be at a price not less than the net asset value next
calculated after receipt by us of a proper order.
5. You agree that you will not withhold placing customers' orders so as to
profit yourself as a result of such withholding.
6. You agree to sell shares only; (a) to your customers at the public
offering price then applicable in accordance with the terms of the
prospectus of the Fund, or (b) to us as agent for the Fund or the Fund
itself.
7. Settlements shall be made promptly, but in no case later than three
business days after our acceptance of the order. If payment is not so
received or made, the right is reserved forthwith to cancel the sale or,
at our option, to resell the shares purchased at the then prevailing net
asset value, in which latter case you will agree to be responsible for
any loss resulting to us from your failure to make payment as aforesaid.
8. If any shares sold to you under the terms of this agreement are
repurchased by the Fund or by us as agent for the Fund, you agree to pay
forthwith to us the full amount of the concession allowed to you on the
original sale. We shall notify you of such repurchase within ten days of
the date of said liquidation.
9. All sales will be subject to receipt of shares by us from the Fund. The
Fund and/or we reserve the right in our discretion without notice to you
to suspend sales or withdraw the offering of shares entirely, to change
the offering price as provided in the prospectus or to modify or cancel
this agreement, which shall be construed in accordance with laws of the
State of Hawaii.
10. No person is authorized to make any representations concerning the Fund
or their shares except those contained in the prospectus of the Fund and
any such information as may be released by the Fund as information
supplemental to the prospectus. In purchasing shares from us you shall
rely solely on the representations contained in the prospectus and
supplemental information above mentioned.
11. Additional copies of the prospectus and of any printed information issued
as supplemental literature to said documents will be supplied by us to
members of the Selling Group in reasonable quantities upon request.
12. In no transaction shall you have authority whatsoever to act as agent of
the Fund or of us or of any other member of the Selling Group, and
nothing in this agreement shall constitute you or the Fund, the agent of
the other. In all transactions in these shares between you and us, you
are acting as principal, or as agent for an undisclosed principal, and we
as agent for the Fund.
13. All communications to us shall be sent to: First Pacific Securities,
Inc. at the address set forth on page one of this agreement. Any notice
to you shall be duly given if mailed to you at your address as registered
from time to time with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.
