WHEREAS, the Trust desires that LTC offer, as principal underwriter, the Shares of the Funds to the public and LTC is willing to provide those services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement in order to promote the growth of the Funds and facilitate the distribution of the Shares;

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Trust and LTC hereby agree as follows:

APPOINTMENT OF LTC AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS

(a)

The Trust hereby appoints LTC, and LTC hereby agrees, to act as distributor of the Shares of the Funds for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Funds have delivered to LTC current copies of:

(i)

the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws (“Organic Documents”);

(ii)

the Trust’s current Registration Statement;

(iii)

the Trust’s notification of registration under the 1940 Act on Form N-8A as filed with the SEC;

each Fund ’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented, the “Prospectus”);

(iv)

any current plan of distribution or similar document adopted by the Funds under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Plan”) and each current shareholder service plan or similar document adopted by the Funds (“Service Plan”).

(a)

The Trust shall promptly furnish LTC with:

(i)

all amendments of or supplements to the foregoing; and

(ii)

a copy of the resolution of the Board appointing LTC and authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

EXCLUSIVE NATURE OF DUTIES

(a)

LTC shall be the exclusive representative of the Funds to act as distributor of the Funds except that the rights given under this Agreement to LTC shall not apply to: (i) Shares issued in connection with the merger, consolidation or reorganization of any other investment company or series or class thereof with a Fund or class thereof; (ii) the Trust’s acquisition by purchase or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of any other investment company or series or class thereof; (iii) the reinvestment in Shares by the Funds’ shareholders of dividends or other distributions; or (iv) any other offering by the Funds of securities to its shareholders (collectively "exempt transactions").

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LTC is and may in the future distribute shares of other investment companies including investment companies having investment objectives similar to those of the Funds. The Funds further understand that existing and future investors in the Funds may invest in shares of such other investment companies. The Funds agree that the services that LTC provides to such other investment companies shall not be deemed in conflict with its duties to the Funds under this Agreement.

OFFERING OF SHARES

(a)

LTC shall have the right to buy from the Funds the Shares needed to fill unconditional orders for Shares of the Funds placed with LTC by investors or selected dealers or selected agents (each as defined in Section 11 hereof) acting as agent for their customers’ or on their own behalf. Alternatively, LTC may act as the Funds’ agent, to offer, and to solicit offers to subscribe to, Shares of the Funds.

(b)

The price that LTC shall pay for Shares purchased from the Funds shall be the NAV used in determining the Public Offering Price on which the orders are based. Shares purchased by LTC are to be resold by LTC to investors at the respective Public Offering Price(s), or to selected dealers or selected agents acting in accordance with the terms of selected dealer or selected agent agreements described in Section 11 of this Agreement. The Funds will advise LTC of the NAV(s) each time that it is determined by the Funds, or its designated agent, and at such other times as LTC may reasonably request.

(c)

LTC will promptly forward all orders and subscriptions to the Funds or its designated agent. All orders and all subscriptions shall be directed to the Funds for acceptance and shall not be binding until accepted by the Funds. Any order or subscription may be rejected by the Funds; provided, however, that the Funds will not arbitrarily or without reasonable cause refuse to accept or confirm orders or subscriptions for the purchase of Shares. The Funds or its designated agent will confirm orders and subscriptions upon their receipt, will make appropriate book entries and, upon receipt by the Funds or its designated agent of payment therefore, will issue such Shares in uncertificated form pursuant to the instructions of LTC. LTC agrees to cause such payment and such instructions to be delivered promptly to the Funds or its designated agent.

(d)

The Funds reserve the right to suspend the offering of Shares of the Funds at any time in the absolute discretion of the Board, and upon notice of such suspension LTC shall cease to offer Shares of the Funds specified in the notice.

(e)

No Shares shall be offered by either LTC or the Funds under any of the provisions of this Agreement and no orders for the purchase or sale of Shares hereunder shall be accepted by the Funds if and so long as the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect or any necessary amendments thereto shall be suspended under any of the provisions of the Securities Act, or if and so long as a current Prospectus, as required by Section 10(b) of the Securities Act, as amended, is not on file with the SEC; provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way limit the Funds’ obligation to repurchase Shares from any shareholder in accordance with the provisions of the Fund's Organic Documents or the Prospectus applicable to the Shares.

REPURCHASE OR REDEMPTION OF SHARES BY THE TRUST

(a)

Any of the outstanding Shares of the Funds may be tendered for redemption at any time, and the Funds agree to redeem or repurchase the Shares so tendered in accordance with its obligations as set forth in the Organic Documents and the Prospectus relating to the Shares.

(b)

The Funds or its designated agent shall pay:

(i)

the total amount of the redemption price consisting of the NAV less any applicable redemption fee to the redeeming shareholder or its agent, and

(ii)

except as may be otherwise required by NASD Rules, any applicable deferred sales charges to LTC in accordance with LTC’s instructions on or before the fifth business day (or such other earlier business day as is customary in the investment company industry) subsequent to the Trust or its agent having received the notice of redemption in proper form.

(a)

Redemption of Shares or payment therefore may be suspended at times when the New York Stock Exchange is closed for any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, when trading thereon is restricted, when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Funds of securities owned by the Funds is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Funds fairly to determine the value of the Funds’ net assets, or during any other period when the SEC so requires or permits.
