1. Reservation of Right Not to Sell. The Fund reserves the right to refuse at any time or times to sell any of its shares of beneficial interest (“shares”) hereunder for any reason deemed adequate by it.

2. Payments to Xxxxxx. In connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund, Xxxxxx will be entitled to receive: (a) payments pursuant to any Distribution Plan and Agreement from time to time in effect between the Fund and Xxxxxx with respect to the Fund or any particular class of shares of the Fund, (b) any contingent deferred sales charges applicable to the redemption of shares of the Fund or of any particular class of shares of the Fund, determined in the manner set forth in the then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Fund and (c) subject to the provisions of Section 3 below, any front-end sales charges applicable to the sale of shares of the Fund or of any particular class of shares of the Fund, less any applicable dealer discount.

3. Sales of Shares to Xxxxxx and Sales by Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx will have the right, as principal, to sell shares of the Fund to investment dealers against orders therefor (a) at the public offering price (calculated as described below) less a discount determined by Xxxxxx, which discount shall not exceed the amount of the sales charge referred to below, or (b) at net asset value. Upon receipt of an order to purchase Fund shares from an investment dealer with whom Xxxxxx has a Sales Contract, Xxxxxx will promptly purchase shares from the Fund to fill such order. The public offering price of a class of shares shall be the net asset value of such shares then in effect, plus any applicable front-end sales charge determined in the manner set forth in the then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Fund or as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. In no event shall the public offering price exceed 1000/915ths of such net asset value, and in no event shall any applicable sales charge exceed 8 1/2% of the public offering price. The net asset value of the shares shall be determined in the manner provided in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund as then amended and when determined shall be applicable to transactions as provided for in the then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Fund.

Xxxxxx will also have the right, as principal, to purchase shares from the Fund at their net asset value and to sell such shares to the public against orders therefor at the public offering price or at net asset value.

Xxxxxx will also have the right, as principal, to sell shares at their net asset value and not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge to such persons as may be approved by the Trustees of the Fund, all such sales to comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

2 

Xxxxxx will also have the right, as agent for the Fund, to sell shares at the public offering price or at net asset value to such persons and upon such conditions as the Trustees of the Fund may from time to time determine.

On every sale the Fund shall receive the applicable net asset value of the shares. Xxxxxx will reimburse the Fund for any increased issue tax paid on account of sales charges. Upon receipt of registration instructions in proper form and payment for shares, Xxxxxx will transmit such instructions to the Fund or its agent for registration of the shares purchased.

4. Sales of Shares by the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to issue shares at any time directly to its shareholders as a stock dividend or stock split and to sell shares to its shareholders or to other persons approved by Xxxxxx at not less than net asset value.

5. Repurchase of Shares. Xxxxxx will act as agent for the Fund in connection with the repurchase of shares by the Fund upon the terms and conditions set forth in the then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Fund.

Xxxxxx is responsible for its own conduct and the employment, control and conduct of its agents and employees and for injury to such agents or employees or to others through its agents or employees. Xxxxxx assumes full responsibility for its agents and employees under applicable statutes and agrees to pay all employer taxes thereunder.

Xxxxxx will maintain at its own expense insurance against public liability in such an amount as the Trustees of the Fund may from time to time reasonably request.

9. Expenses. Xxxxxx will pay all expenses of qualifying shares for sale under the so-called “Blue Sky” laws of any state (except expenses of any action by the Fund relating to its Agreement and Declaration of Trust or other matters approved by the Trustees), and expenses of preparing, printing and distributing advertising and sales literature. Xxxxxx shall not be responsible for any expenses of registering shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

10. Indemnification of Fund. Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each person who has been, is, or may hereafter be a Trustee of the Fund against expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with any claim or in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which any of them may be a party, which arises out of or is alleged to arise out of any misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact, or out of any alleged misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact, on the part of Xxxxxx or any agent or employee of Xxxxxx or any other person for whose acts Xxxxxx is responsible or is alleged to be responsible unless such misrepresentation or omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished by the Fund. Xxxxxx also agrees likewise to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each such person in connection with any claim or in connection with any action, suit or proceeding which arises out of or is alleged to arise out of Xxxxxx’x (or an affiliate of Xxxxxx’x) failure to exercise reasonable care and diligence with respect to its services rendered in connection with investment, reinvestment, automatic withdrawal and other plans for shares. The term “expenses” includes amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments or in settlements which are made with Xxxxxx’x consent. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Fund or a Trustee may be entitled as a matter of law.

11. Assignment Terminates this Contract; Amendments of this Contract. This Contract will automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment. This Contract may be amended only if such amendment be approved either by action of the Trustees of the Fund or at a meeting of the shareholders of the Fund by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund, and by a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not interested persons of the Fund or of Xxxxxx by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

12. Effective Period and Termination of this Contract. This Contract is effective upon its execution and will remain in full force and effect as to a Fund continuously thereafter (unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 11 or terminated in accordance with the following paragraph) through June 30, 2008, and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter so long as its continuance is approved at least annually by (i) the Trustees, or the shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the respective Fund, and (ii) a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund or of Xxxxxx, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
