such Fund.
5. Duration. This Agreement will take effect on the date first set forth above. Unless earlier

thereunder) of any such party.
6. Assignment or Amendment. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or General Partner (as applicable) of each Fund,

Investment Company Act, and the rules thereunder.
7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to a particular Fund (i) by Hatteras
at any time without penalty upon sixty days’ written notice to such Fund (which notice may be
waived by such Fund); or (ii) by a Fund at any time without penalty upon sixty days’ written notice
to Hatteras (which notice may be waived by Hatteras). Any termination of this Agreement shall not
affect the obligation of a Fund to pay the Investor Servicing Fee to Hatteras prior to such
termination.
8. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable
to agreements made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware (without regard to any
conflicts of law principles thereof). Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of
this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the
Investment Company Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the Investment
Company Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States courts or, in the absence
of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the Commission
issued pursuant to the Investment Company Act. In addition, where the effect of a requirement of
the Investment Company Act reflected in any provision of this Agreement is revised by rule,
regulation or order of the Commission, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of
such rule, regulation or order.
