EXHIBIT (h)(1)

2. Acknowledgments and Agreements of UMBDS.

(a) UMBDS acknowledges that the offering of Interests has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. UMBDS acknowledges that offers and sales of Interests will be made in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(b) UMBDS acknowledges that Interests will be offered and sold only to persons, each of whom is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act who, either alone or with a purchaser representative, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, has such knowledge or experience in financial and business matters that the person is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Funds. UMBDS also acknowledges that Interests of Funds that are subject to a performance allocation, incentive fee or similar compensation arrangement will be offered and sold only to persons who are “accredited investors” as described above and “qualified clients” as defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(c) UMBDS agrees that all activities by it and its employees and agents shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, all rules and regulations adopted pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

(d) UMBDS acknowledges that Interests will be offered and sold directly by the Funds, or will be offered and sold by other placement agents retained by the Funds, by sub-placement agents retained by UMBDS or any other such placement agents, or through other intermediaries, in each case through direct individual contacts with each prospective purchaser of Interests and not by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including but not limited to: (a) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, the internet or otherwise, or (b) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

EXHIBIT (h)(1)

(e) UMBDS acknowledges and agrees that no person is authorized to make any representations, whether written or oral, concerning any Fund or the Interests which are inconsistent with the Offering Documents or with written supplemental material approved for use by the Funds (“Supplemental Material”) and that all offers of Interests shall be made in conformity with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Offering Memorandum.

(f) To the extent UMBDS delivers copies of the Offering Documents and/or Supplemental Material as then in effect, as provided to UMBDS by the Funds or an agent of the Funds, UMBDS will cause the Fund’s transfer agent to maintain records identifying the name and address of each other placement agent, sub-placement agent, other intermediary or prospective purchaser to whom it delivers copies of such materials and the sequence numbers of such materials it delivers to such placement agent, sub-placement agent, other intermediary or prospective purchaser.

UMBDS represents to each Fund that it has informed itself as to the applicable legal restrictions governing the offer and sale of Interests under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it intends to deliver such materials and that the sale of Interests by a Fund to any person in any such jurisdiction will not be in violation of any applicable laws by reason of the activities of UMBDS.

(i) To the extent required by each Fund's Rule 12b-1 Plan, UMBDS shall cause to be provided to the Board of Trustees or Board of Managers, as applicable, of each Fund in connection with such Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan, not less than quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended pursuant to such Rule 12b-1 Plans and the purposes for which such expenditures were made.

(j) During the term of this Agreement, UMBDS undertakes to comply with the foregoing covenants in connection with its wholesaling and placement agent activities and agrees not to take any action that it knows will result in a violation of any of the restrictions on the offering of Interests described in the foregoing acknowledgments.

(a) Each Fund has prepared and furnished its respective Offering Memorandum and its other Offering Documents to UMBDS, and will furnish UMBDS with Supplemental Material and such other information with respect to the business, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of such Fund, as UMBDS may reasonably request. UMBDS may rely upon the accuracy and completeness of the Offering Documents and all such other information and each Fund acknowledges that UMBDS has not been retained to independently verify any of such information. Each Fund will be solely responsible for the contents of its respective Offering Documents, Supplemental Material and any and all other written communications provided by or on behalf of such Fund to UMBDS, any other placement agent, sub-placement agent or other intermediary. Each Fund represents and warrants that its Offering Documents, Supplemental Material and such other communications will not, as of their respective dates, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each Fund authorizes UMBDS to provide its Offering Documents and Supplemental Material to (i) other placement agents retained and duly authorized by such Fund and its Board of Trustees or Board of Managers, as applicable, to procure subscriptions for the purchase of Interests, (ii) sub-placement agents retained and duly authorized by UMBDS or another duly authorized placement agent of such Fund; and (iii) other intermediaries duly authorized to purchase Interests on behalf of, or to recommend Interests to, such intermediaries’ clients.

EXHIBIT (h)(1)

(b) If at any time prior to the completion of the offer and sale of Interests an event occurs which would cause a Fund’s Offering Documents or any Supplemental Material (as supplemented or amended) to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such Fund will notify UMBDS immediately of such event and UMBDS will suspend the distribution of such materials until such time as the Fund shall prepare a supplement or amendment to the relevant Offering Document(s) and/or Supplemental Material which corrects such statement or omission. Such Fund will provide UMBDS with such new Offering Document(s) upon being updated or supplemented.

7. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date set forth above and shall remain in force for two years unless sooner terminated or continued as provided below. This Agreement shall continue in effect after such term with respect to a Fund if its continuance is specifically approved by a majority of the Trustees or Managers, as applicable, of that Fund and a majority of the 12b-1 Trustees or 12b-1 Managers, as applicable, referred to in such Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan ("Rule 12b-1 Trustees") at least annually in accordance with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

8. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time with respect to a Fund, without payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of such Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Trustees or by a vote of a majority of such Fund's outstanding Interests on not more than sixty (60) days written notice to any other party to the Agreement; and shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).
