The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part, and this Agreement constitutes its valid and binding obligation; and

It is, and will, conduct its activities hereunder in material conformity with all applicable federal, state and industry laws or regulations.

B. JPMDS hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:

It is duly registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and

The Funds are registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,(the “1940 Act”) and shares of the Funds are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

C. Financial Intermediary represents, warrants and agrees that:

It is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or it is duly registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the Exchange Act;

The Portfolio is an open-end management company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940 Act that, among other investments, invests in other registered open-end management companies, including open-end management companies that are not affiliated with Financial Intermediary or the Portfolio in reliance upon Section 12(d)(1)(A) {or Section 12(d) (1)(F)?}of the 1940 Act.

The Portfolio will not knowingly make investments in a Fund, that, {if relying on 12(d) (1)(F), together with the investments in the same Fund by all affiliated persons of the Portfolio}, exceeds two and one-half percent (2.5%) of a Fund’s outstanding shares at the time of the investment.

It has adopted, implemented and will monitor, on a continuous basis, its compliance with procedures designed to limit the value of the Portfolio’s investments in a Fund so that the Portfolio’s investments in a Fund, {if relying on 12(d) (1)(F), together with the investments in the same Fund by all affiliated persons of the Portfolio}, will not exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of a Fund’s outstanding shares at the time of the investment.

It acknowledges that the shareholder base of certain of the Funds may be concentrated in one or two financial intermediaries with investment discretion over their customers’ investments in the Funds.

f).

It agrees that the Portfolio’s investment in a Fund will be held in a direct or disclosed account with the Fund and not commingled with any other of Financial Intermediary’s investments in such Fund and will be registered on the Fund’s books in the Portfolio’s name or other identifiable manner agreed upon by Financial Intermediary and JPMDS.

It, along with the Trust and its service provider, it has established an Anti-Money Laundering Program (“AML Program”) that is designed to comply with applicable U.S. laws, regulations, and guidance, including rules of self-regulatory organizations, relating to the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, and related financial crimes. Its AML Program includes written policies and procedures regarding the i) verification of the identity of its customers and the source of its customers’ funds, and ii) reporting of any suspicious transactions in a customer’s account. Financial Intermediary agrees to cooperate with JPMDS to satisfy JPMDS’ AML due diligence policies, which may include annual AML compliance certifications, periodic AML due diligence reviews and/or other requests deemed necessary to ensure its compliance with the AML regulations. Financial Intermediary will (but only to the extent consistent with applicable law) take all steps necessary and appropriate to provide the Funds and/or JPMDS with any requested information about the Portfolio or its investors in the event that the Funds and/or JPMDS shall request such information due to an inquiry or investigation by any law enforcement, regulatory, or administrative authority.
