Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are the exclusive distributor of the shares of the funds of the fund families set forth on Schedule A hereto (collectively, together with any funds that may hereafter become part of such fund families, the “CMID Distributed Funds”). We invite you to participate in the offer and sale of the shares of those CMID Distributed Funds (or classes thereof) as we may determine from time to time (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) on the terms set forth below.

1. Effective Date: This Agreement shall become effective on the date set forth on the signature page hereto.

2. Your Regulatory Status: If you are a registered broker or dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), you agree that the terms in Schedule B apply. Otherwise, you agree that the terms in Schedule C apply.

3. Appointment: We appoint you to provide the services set forth in this Agreement on a non-exclusive basis, subject to and in compliance with all terms of this Agreement, the Funds’ then-current prospectuses and statements of additional information including any supplements thereto (collectively, the “Prospectus”), the Funds’ new account applications, applicable laws, regulations and rules of self-regulatory or clearing organizations (collectively “Applicable Law”) and such procedures and instructions as we may communicate to you.

4. Offer and Sale of Fund Shares:

(a)

You agree to offer and sell the Funds’ shares, but to do so only in the states and other jurisdictions in which we have indicated to you that you may make such offers and sales. You may act either as principal or as agent of your customers (“Customers”) who purchase Fund shares through you. In connection with your offers and sales of Fund shares, you agree that we have no responsibility for determining whether the Funds’ shares are suitable for your Customers. You agree never to make any statement or representation in connection with us, our affiliates or the Funds other than that as contained in the Prospectus, shareholder reports and sales literature issued by us (“Sales Literature”) or as otherwise approved in writing by us.

(b)

If you sell shares for which a distribution plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), you agree to provide reasonable sales support assistance, including forwarding Sales Literature to your Customers and providing other sales support assistance as we may request. You shall perform all support services in a professional, competent and timely manner.

(c)

We shall furnish you upon request with a reasonable quantity of copies of the Sales Literature. If we supply you with copies of any Fund prospectus or statement of additional information supplements, you agree to affix copies of the supplements as appropriate and distribute only appropriately supplemented prospectuses or statements of additional information. You agree not to use Sales Literature with your Customers unless accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus. You agree not to amend or translate any Sales

Literature. You agree that any supplemental literature we provide you regarding hypothetical investments may be used only in “one-on-one presentations” within the meaning of the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

(d)

You shall submit any sales literature or materials or advertising you prepare regarding the Funds to us for our prior approval. We may withdraw our approval of any such materials upon notice. You shall then immediately discontinue using those materials. You are responsible for ensuring that any such materials are prepared and distributed in accordance with Applicable Law, including any filing obligations.

(e)	You agree that you will not forward or make available to your Customers any “institutional communications” (as such term is defined in FINRA Conduct Rules) or excerpts thereof that we may provide to you.

5. Purchase, Redemption and Exchange of Fund Shares:

(a)

You agree: (i) to offer and sell each class of each Fund’s shares at the applicable public offering price; (ii) that redemptions of shares will be made at the net asset value of such shares, less any applicable deferred sales charges or redemption fees; and (iii) that exchanges of shares will be made at the net asset value of such shares, less any applicable sales charges and/or redemption fees, all as provided in the Prospectus.

(b)

All purchase and exchange orders are subject to acceptance and confirmation by us, the Funds and their transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). You agree to date and time stamp all orders you receive and to forward all orders to the Transfer Agent in proper form for processing at the next-determined share price after your receipt.

(c)

You agree to offer and sell the Funds’ shares in compliance with the Funds’ Prospectus requirements and you further agree that you have systems, procedures and/or policies in place designed to ensure that you are complying with all terms of this Agreement, the Prospectus requirements and all relevant rules and regulations regarding the handling of mutual fund share orders on a timely basis.

(d)	You may not make any conditional or contingent orders for any Fund’s shares. We may in our sole discretion reject any purchase order in whole or in part. We also may in our discretion suspend sales or withdraw the offering of shares, in whole or part, without notice to you.

(e)

If you place a purchase order and payment for shares is not received or made within the time set forth in the Prospectus, the sale may be canceled without any responsibility or liability on the part of us, the Funds or the Transfer Agent or we may elect to buy the shares. We shall have no liability for any check or other item returned unpaid to you after you have paid us on behalf of a Customer.

(f)

If you place a redemption order and the Transfer Agent does not receive instructions in proper form, including any outstanding certificates, within the time set forth in the Prospectus, the redemption may be canceled without any responsibility or liability on the part of us, the Funds or the Transfer Agent or we may elect to buy the shares redeemed. We may refuse to liquidate an investment or part of an investment unless we receive your Customer’s signed authorization of the liquidation.

(g)	You agree that if a Customer’s Fund shares are redeemed within seven business days after the confirmation of the original order, you will refund the full concession allowed. The provisions of this sub-Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(h)

You agree to be responsible to the Funds, the Transfer Agent and us for any losses, claims, damages or expenses resulting from your: (i) failure to make any payment for, or settle any redemption of, Fund shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) correction or cancellation of any order after its trade date. You will immediately pay such loss, claim, damage or expense to us, the Transfer Agent or the Funds, as appropriate, upon notification.

(v)

to purchase Fund shares only through us.

6. Shareholder Information: The terms of Schedule 22c-2 hereto are incorporated herein by reference.

7. Servicing Beneficial Owners of Fund Shares: If your Customers hold positions in shares of a class or classes upon which you receive shareholder servicing or shareholder administration fees, you agree that the provisions of Schedule D shall apply.

8. Compensation:

(a)

The total sales charges and your dealer concessions (if any) on each purchase of Fund shares shall be as stated in the Prospectus, subject to Applicable Law including FINRA rules. You must notify the Transfer Agent that an order qualifies for a reduction in, or waiver of, sales charges at the time of the order placement in order for the Customer to obtain the reduction or waiver. If you fail to so notify, neither we, the Transfer Agent nor any of the Funds will be liable for reimbursing the Customer for the reduction or waiver that should have been effected. You agree to ensure that every Customer receives the benefit of any appropriate reduction in or waiver of a sales charge as described in the Prospectus. There is no sales charge or discount on reinvested dividends.

(b)

As compensation for the sales support assistance described in sub-Section 4(b), we also may arrange for you to be paid a periodic fee based upon a percentage of the average daily net asset value of the respective Fund’s shares attributable to you. We will inform you of the amount of the fee (if any) and may arrange for the fee payable to be changed upon prior notice. Our liability to you for the payment of a distribution or service fee related to a Fund for any period is limited solely to the proceeds of that Fund’s distribution or service fee actually received by us for such period. We may stop paying distribution and service fees for any Fund at any time without notice to you. Each Fund reserves the right to establish and change minimum asset amounts at the representatives level and dealer level as conditions for its obligations to pay service fees.

(c)	You may charge reasonable service fees to your Customers for processing exchange or redemption orders, provided you disclose the fees to your Customers and that such fees do not constitute sales loads as defined in Section 2(a)(35) of the 1940 Act.

9. Compliance with Law:

(a)

You represent and warrant to us that: (i) your compliance personnel have sufficient expertise and experience to implement this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (ii) you have in place compliance systems, policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent late trading of mutual fund shares; and (iii) you have adequate qualified personnel and systems to comply with any restrictions and limitations on purchases, redemptions and exchanges described in the Prospectus, including any restrictions or prohibitions relating to frequent purchases and redemptions (i.e., market timing) and any share purchase eligibility requirements.

(b)

You agree to comply with Applicable Law and, if applicable, the rules of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”). You shall have sole responsibility for the registration and licensing of persons selling Fund shares on your behalf and the manner of sale of Fund shares by you or those that sell on your behalf.

(c)	You agree to cooperate fully with any and all efforts by us or the Funds to assure ourselves that you have implemented effective compliance policies and procedures administered by qualified personnel including, without limitation:

(ii)

permitting us and the Funds to maintain an active working relationship with your compliance personnel;

(iii)

providing us and the Funds with periodic and special reports in the event of compliance problems;

(a)	You represent and warrant that you have full authority to act on behalf of each Customer and will act only in accordance with the scope of your authority when acting on behalf of the Customer.

(b)

If a Customer’s account with a Fund is established without the Customer signing an account application, you represent and warrant that the instructions relating to account establishment and shareholder options (whether on the account application, in another document or orally) are in accordance with the Customer’s instructions.

(c)

You agree to provide all necessary information for us and the Funds to comply properly with all federal, state and local reporting requirements for your Customer accounts. You represent and warrant that all Taxpayer Identification Numbers (“TINs”) you provide are certified and that you will not establish an account without a certified TIN.

(d)	You agree to be responsible to the Funds, the Transfer Agent and us for any losses, claims, damages or expenses resulting from acting upon such authority, instructions and performance.

11. Distribution of Information to Shareholders: You agree that we, the Funds and the Transfer Agent may mail or otherwise distribute to Fund shareholders any material concerning the Funds or other funds or services.

You will be responsible for forwarding such printed material, confirmations, and communications, or the information contained therein, to all Customers for whose account you hold Fund shares.

12. Nature of Relationship: You have no authority to act as agent for, partner of, or participant in a joint venture with, the Funds or us or any of our affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute either of us the agent of the other or you or the Funds the agent of each other, except that you shall be deemed an agent of the Funds for the sole and limited purpose of receiving orders for Fund shares pursuant to sub-Section 5(b), to the extent that such an agency relationship is required by Applicable Law.

SCHEDULE 22c-2

As used in this Schedule 22c-2, the following terms shall have the following meanings, unless a different meaning is clearly required by the contexts:

The term “Intermediary” shall mean (i) any broker, dealer, bank, or other entity that holds securities of record issued by the Fund in nominee name; and (ii) in the case of a participant-directed employee benefit plan that owns securities issued by the Fund (1) a retirement plan administrator under ERISA or (2) any entity that maintains the plan’s participant records.

The term “Fund” shall mean an open-ended management investment company that is registered or required to register under section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) and includes (i) an investment adviser to or administrator for the Fund, (ii) the principal underwriter or distributor for the Fund (“Fund Agent”), or (iii) the transfer agent for the Fund. The term does not include any “excepted funds” as defined in SEC Rule 22c-2(b) under the 1940 Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, which consideration is full and complete, the Fund Agent and the Intermediary hereby agree as follows:

Shareholder Information

Agreement to Provide Information. Intermediary agrees to provide a Fund, Fund Agent or its affiliates or designee promptly upon written request, the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), if known, the Individual/International Taxpayer Identification Number (“ITIN”), or other government-issued identifier (“GII”) associated with the Shareholder, if known, of any or all Shareholder(s) of the account and the amount, date, name or other identifier of any investment professional(s) associated with the Shareholder(s) or account (if known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held through an account maintained by Intermediary during the period covered by the request.

Period Covered by Request. Requests must set forth a specific period, not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of the request, for which transaction information is sought. The Fund may request transaction information older than ninety (90) days from the date of the request as it deems necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by the Fund.

ii.

Form and Timing of Response. Intermediary agrees to transmit the requested information that is on its books and records to the Fund, Fund Agent or its designee promptly, but in any event not later than five (5) business days, after receipt of a request. If the requested information is not on Intermediary’s books and records, Intermediary agrees to: (i) provide or arrange to provide to the Fund the requested information from shareholders who hold an account with an indirect intermediary; or (ii) if directed by the Fund, block further purchases of Fund shares from such indirect intermediary. In such instance, Intermediary agrees to inform the Fund whether it plans to perform (i) or (ii). Responses

required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing and in a format mutually agreed upon by the parties. To the extent practicable, the format for any transaction information provided to the Fund should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format. For purposes of this provision, an “indirect intermediary” has the same meaning as in SEC Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act.

iii.

Limitations on Use of Information. The Fund and Fund Agent agree not to use the information received pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose other than as necessary to comply with the provisions of Rule 22c-2 or to fulfill other regulatory or legal requirements subject to the privacy provisions of Title V of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act (Public Law 106-102) and comparable state laws.

Agreement to Restrict Trading. Intermediary agrees to execute written instructions from the Fund or Fund Agent to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been identified by the Fund as having engaged in transactions of the Fund’s Shares (directly or indirectly through the Intermediary’s account) that violate policies established by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by the Fund.

Form of Instructions. Instructions must include the TIN, ITIN or GII and the participant account number associated with the Shareholder, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed, including how long the restriction(s) is(are) to remain in place. If the TIN, ITIN, GII or the participant account number associated with the Shareholder is not known, the instructions must include an equivalent identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or account(s) or other agreed upon information to which the instruction relates.

ii.

Timing of Response. Intermediary agrees to execute instructions as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five (5) business days after receipt of the instructions by the Intermediary.

iii.

Confirmation by Intermediary. Intermediary must provide written confirmation to the Fund and Fund Agent that instructions have been executed. Intermediary agrees to provide confirmation as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten (10) business days after the instructions have been executed.

Definitions. For purposes of this Schedule 22c-2:

The term “Shares” means the interests of Shareholders corresponding to the redeemable securities of record issued by the Fund under the 1940 Act that are held by the Intermediary.

ii.

The term “Shareholder” means the beneficial owner of Shares, whether the Shares are held directly or by the Intermediary in nominee name.

iii.

The term “written” includes electronic writings and facsimile transmissions.
