This Agreement is made and effective as of ___ day of ________, 2020 between Vigilant Distributors, LLC ("Vigilant"), a Pennsylvania limited liability company, and ________ ("Dealer"), a ______ corporation.

WHEREAS, ________ (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company and currently offers for public sale shares of common stock or beneficial interest ("Shares") in the separate series of the Trust listed on Schedule A, as may be amended from time to time (each, a "Fund");

WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serves as principal underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares of each Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, and

WHEREAS, Dealer desires to serve as a selected selling agent for the Shares of the Fund.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein, Vigilant and Dealer agree as follows:

1. Offers and Sales of Shares. Dealer agrees to offer and sell Shares only at the public offering price currently in effect, in accordance with the terms of the then-current prospectus(es), including any supplements or amendments thereto, of each Fund ("Prospectus"). The Dealer agrees to act only as agent on behalf of its customers (“Customers”) in such transactions and shall not have authority to act as agent for the Fund, for Vigilant, or for any other Dealer in any respect. All purchase orders are subject to acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the relevant Fund and become effective only upon confirmation by Vigilant or an agent of the Fund. In its sole discretion, either the Fund or Vigilant may reject any purchase order and may, provided notice is given to Dealer, suspend sales or withdraw the offering of Shares entirely.

2. Procedures for Purchases. The procedures relating to all orders and the handling of them shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in each Fund's Prospectus, and to the extent consistent with the Prospectus, written instructions forwarded to Dealer by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ from time to time. Dealer shall be permitted to accept orders for the purchase, exchange or redemption of Shares of the Fund on each business day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and a Fund's net asset value is determined ("Business Day"). Dealer shall not be required to accept orders on any Business Day on which Dealer is not open for business. If orders are accepted by Dealer prior to the latest time at which a Fund's net asset value is to be calculated as determined by its Board of Directors/Trustees, which is typically as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on that Business Day ("Close of Trading"), such orders shall be treated as having been received on that Business Day. If such orders are received

after Close of Trading on a Business Day, they shall not be treated as having been accepted by Dealer on such Business Day.

All purchase orders shall be placed at, and in accordance with the applicable discount schedules set forth in the Fund's Prospectus.

3. Settlement and Delivery for Purchases. Transactions shall be settled by Dealer by payment in federal funds of the full purchase price to the Fund's transfer agent in accordance with applicable procedures. Payment for Shares shall be received by the Fund's transfer agent by the later of (a) the end of the third business day following Dealer's receipt of the Customer's order to purchase such Shares or (b) the end of one business day following ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s receipt of the Customer's payment for such Shares, but in no event later than the end of the sixth business day following ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s receipt of the Customer's order. If such payment is not received within the time specified, the sale may be canceled forthwith without any responsibility or liability on Vigilant's part or on the part of the Fund to Dealer or its Customers. In addition, Dealer will be responsible to the Fund and/or Vigilant for any losses suffered on the transaction.

4. Procedures for Redemption Repurchase and Exchange. Redemption or repurchases of Shares as well as exchange requests shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in each Fund's Prospectus, and to the extent consistent with the Prospectus, written instructions forwarded to Dealer by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ from time to time.

5. Compensation. On each purchase of Shares by Dealer from Vigilant, Dealer shall be entitled to receive such dealer allowances, concessions, finder's fees, sales charges, discounts and other compensation, if any, as described and set forth in each Fund's Prospectus. Sales charges and discounts to dealers, if any, may be subject to reductions under a variety of circumstances if described in each Fund's Prospectus. To obtain any such reductions, Vigilant must be notified when a sale takes place that would qualify for the reduced charge. If any Shares sold by Dealer under the terms of this Agreement are redeemed by a Fund or tendered for redemption or repurchased by a Fund or by Vigilant as agent within seven business days after the date Dealer purchased such Shares, Dealer shall forfeit its right to any discount or commission received by or allowed to Dealer from the original sale. Dealer shall not be entitled to any compensation for its services under any 12b-1 plan in effect for a Fund unless Dealer has signed a related agreement.
