NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Appointment. The Fund appoints Distributor to act
as principal underwriter (as such term is defined in Sections
2(a)(29) of ICA-40) of its Shares.
2. Delivery of Fund Documents. The Fund has furnished
Distributor with properly certified or authenticated copies
of each of the following in effect on the date hereof and
shall furnish Distributor from time to time properly
certified or authenticated copies of all amendments or
supplements thereto:
(a) Agreement and Declaration of Trust;
(b) By-Laws;
(c) Resolutions of the Board of Trustees of the Fund
(hereinafter referred to as the "Board") selecting
Distributor as distributor and approving this form

The Fund shall furnish Distributor promptly with copies
of any registration statements filed by it with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under SA-33 or
ICA-40, together with any financial statements and exhibits
included therein, and all amendments or supplements thereto
hereafter filed.
The Fund also shall furnish Distributor such other
certificates or documents which Distributor may from time to
time, in its discretion, reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate in the proper performance of its duties.
3. Solicitation of Orders for Purchase of Shares.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4, 5 and 7
hereof, and to such minimum purchase requirements as
may from time to time be indicated in the Fund's
Prospectus, Distributor is authorized to solicit, as
agent on behalf of the Fund, unconditional orders
for purchases of the Fund's Shares authorized for
issuance and registered under SA-33, provided that:
(1) Distributor shall act solely as a disclosed
agent on behalf of and for the account of the
Fund;
(2) The Fund or its transfer agent shall receive
directly from investors all payments for the
purchase of the Fund's Shares and also shall pay
directly to shareholders amounts due to them for
the redemption or repurchase of all the Fund's
Shares with Distributor having no rights or
duties to accept such payment or to effect such
redemptions or repurchases;
(3) Distributor shall confirm all orders received
for purchase of the Fund's Shares which
confirmation shall clearly state (i) that
Distributor is acting as agent of the Fund in
the transaction (ii) that all certificates for
redemption, remittances, and registration
instructions should be sent directly to the
Fund, and (iii) the Fund's mailing address;
(4) Distributor shall have no liability for payment
for purchases of the Fund's Shares it sells as
agent; and
(5) Each order to purchase Shares of the Fund
received by Distributor shall be subject to
acceptance by an officer of the Fund in Chicago
and entry of the order on the Fund's records or
shareholder accounts and is not binding until so
accepted and entered.
The purchase price to the public of the Fund's
Shares shall be the public offering price as defined
in Paragraph 6 hereof.
(b) In consideration of the rights granted to the
Distributor under this Agreement, Distributor will
use its best efforts (but only in states in which
Distributor may lawfully do so) to solicit from
investors unconditional orders to purchase Shares of
the Fund. The Fund shall make available to the
Distributor without cost to the Distributor such
number of copies of the Fund's currently effective
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
and copies of all information, financial statements
and other papers which the Distributor may
reasonably request for use in connection with the
distribution of Shares.
3.A. Selling Agreements. Distributor is authorized, as
agent on behalf of each Fund, to enter into agreements with
other broker-dealers providing for the solicitation of
unconditional orders for purchases of Fund's Shares
authorized for issuance and registered under SA-33. All such
agreements shall be either in the form of agreement attached
hereto or in such other form as may be approved by the
officers of the Fund ("Selling Agreement"). All
solicitations made by other broker-dealers pursuant to a
Selling Agreement shall be subject to the same terms of this
Agreement which apply to solicitations made by Distributor.
4. Solicitation of Orders to Purchase Shares by Fund.
The rights granted to the Distributor shall be non-exclusive
in that the Fund reserves the right to solicit purchases
from, and sell its Shares to, investors. Further, the Fund
reserves the right to issue Shares in connection with the
merger or consolidation of any other investment company,
trust or personal holding company with the Fund, or the
Fund's acquisition, by the purchase or otherwise, of all or
substantially all of the assets of an investment company,
trust or personal holding company, or substantially all of
the outstanding shares or interests of any such entity. Any
right granted to Distributor to solicit purchases of Shares
will not apply to Shares that may be offered by the Fund to
shareholders by virtue of their being shareholders of the
Fund.
5. Shares Covered by this Agreement. This Agreement
relates to the solicitation of orders to purchase Shares that
are duly authorized and registered and available for sale by
the Fund, including redeemed or repurchased Shares if and to
the extent that they may be legally sold and if, but only if,
the Fund authorizes the Distributor to sell them.
6. Public Offering Price. All solicitations by the
Distributor pursuant to this Agreement shall be for orders to
purchase Shares of the Fund at the public offering price.
The public offering price for each accepted subscription for
the Fund's Shares will be the net asset value per share next
determined by the Fund after it accepts such subscription.
The net asset value per share shall be determined in the
manner provided in the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of
Trust as now in effect or as they may be amended, and as
reflected in the Fund's then current Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information.
7. Suspension of Sales. If and whenever the
determination of the Fund's net asset value is suspended and
until such suspension is terminated, no further orders for
Shares shall be accepted by the Fund except such
unconditional orders placed with the Fund and accepted by it
before the suspension. In addition, the Fund reserves the
right to suspend sales of Shares if, in the judgement of the
Board of the Fund, it is in the best interest of the Fund to
do so, such suspension to continue for such period as may be
determined by the Board of the Fund; and in that event, (i)
at the direction of the Fund, Distributor shall suspend its
solicitation of orders to purchase Shares of the Fund until
otherwise instructed by the Fund and (ii) no orders to
purchase Shares shall be accepted by the Fund while such
suspension remains in effect unless otherwise directed by its
Board.
8. Authorized Representations. No Fund is authorized
by the Distributor to give on behalf of the Distributor any
information or to make any representations other than the
information and representations contained in the Fund's
registration statement filed with the SEC under SA-33 and/or
ICA-40 as it may be amended from time to time.
Distributor is not authorized by the Fund to give on
behalf of the Fund any information or to make any
representations in connection with the sale of Shares other
than the information and representations contained in the
Fund's registration statement filed with the SEC under SA-33
and/or ICA-40, covering Shares, as such registration
statement or the Fund's prospectus may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, or contained in shareholder
reports or other material that may be prepared by or on
behalf of the Fund or approved by the Fund for the
Distributor's use. No person other than Distributor is
authorized to act as principal underwriter (as such term is
defined in ICA-40, as amended) for the Funds.
9. Registration of Additional Shares. The Fund hereby
agrees to register either (i) an indefinite number of Shares
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under ICA-40, or (ii) a definite
number of Shares as the Fund shall deem advisable pursuant to
Rule 24e-2 under ICA-40, as amended. The Fund will, in
cooperation with the Distributor, take such action as may be
necessary from time to time to qualify the Shares (so
registered or otherwise qualified for sale under SA-33), in
any state mutually agreeable to the Distributor and the Fund,
and to maintain such qualification; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Fund from
registering its shares without approval of the Distributor in
any state it deems appropriate.
10. Conformity With Law. Distributor agrees that in
soliciting orders to purchase Shares it shall duly conform in
all respects with applicable federal and state laws and the
rules and regulations of the NASD. Distributor will use its
best efforts to maintain its Registrations in good standing
during the term of this Agreement and will promptly notify
the Fund and Xxxxx Xxx & Xxxxxxx Incorporated in the event of
the suspension or termination of any of the Registrations.
11. Independent Contractor. Distributor shall be an
independent contractor and neither the Distributor, nor any
of its officers, directors, employees, or representatives is
or shall be an employee of the Fund in the performance of
Distributor's duties hereunder. Distributor shall be
responsible for its own conduct and the employment, control,
and conduct of its agents and employees and for injury to
such agents or employees or to others through its agents and
employees and agrees to pay all employee taxes thereunder.
12. Indemnification. Distributor agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Fund and each of the members of its
Board and its officers, employees and representatives and
each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning
of Section 15 of SA-33 against any and all losses,
liabilities, damages, claims and expenses (including the
reasonable costs of investigating or defending any alleged
loss, liability, damage, claim or expense and reasonable
legal counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) to which
the Fund or such of the members of its Board and of its
officers, employees, representatives, or controlling person
or persons may become subject under SA-33, under any other
statute, at common law, or otherwise, arising out of the
acquisition of any Shares of the Fund by any person which (i)
may be based upon any wrongful act by Distributor or any of
Distributor's directors, officers, employees or
representatives, or (ii) may be based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in a registration statement, Prospectus, Statement
of Additional Information, shareholder report or other
information covering Shares of the Fund filed or made public
by the Fund or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading if such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to
the Fund by Distributor in writing. In no case (i) is
Distributor's indemnity in favor of the Fund, or any person
indemnified, to be deemed to protect the Fund or such
indemnified person against any liability to which the Fund or
such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of
its or his duties or by reason of its or his reckless
disregard of its or his obligations and duties under this
Agreement or (ii) is Distributor to be liable under its
indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect
to any claim made against the Fund or any person indemnified
unless the Fund or such person, as the case may be, shall
have notified Distributor in writing of the claim within a
reasonable time after the summons, or other first written
notification, giving information of the nature of the claim
served upon the Fund or upon such person (or after the Fund
or such person shall have received notice of such service on
any designated agent). However, failure to notify
Distributor of any such claim shall not relieve Distributor
from any liability which Distributor may have to the Fund or
any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than
on account of Distributor's indemnity agreement contained in
this Paragraph.
Distributor shall be entitled to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense, or, if Distributor so elects, to
assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such
claim but, if Distributor elects to assume the defense, such
defense shall be conducted by legal counsel chosen by
Distributor and satisfactory to the persons indemnified who
are defendants in the suit. In the event that Distributor
elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such
legal counsel, persons indemnified who are defendants in the
suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional legal
counsel retained by them. If Distributor does not elect to
assume the defense of any such suit, Distributor will
reimburse persons indemnified who are defendants in such suit
for the reasonable fees of any legal counsel retained by them
in such litigation.
The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Distributor and each of its directors, officers, employees,
and representatives and each person, if any, who controls
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of SA-33 against
any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses
(including the damage, claim or expense and reasonable legal
counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) to which
Distributor or such of its directors, officers, employees,
representatives or controlling person or persons may become
subject under SA-33, under any other statute, at common law,
or otherwise arising out of the acquisition of any Shares by
any person which (i) may be based upon any wrongful act by
the Fund or any of the members of the Fund's Board, or the
Fund's officers, employees or representatives other than
Distributor, or (ii) may be based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional
Information, shareholder report or other information covering
Shares filed or made public by the Fund or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading unless such statement or omission was made in
reliance upon information furnished by Distributor to the
Fund. In no case (i) is the Fund's indemnity in favor of the
Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect
the Distributor or such indemnified person against any
liability to which Distributor or such indemnified person
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its or his
duties or by reason of its or his reckless disregard of its
or his obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii)
is the Fund to be liable under its indemnity agreement
contained in this Paragraph with respect to any claim made
against Distributor or any person indemnified unless
Distributor, or such person, as the case may be, shall have
notified the Fund in writing of the claim within a reasonable
time after the summons, or other first written notification,
giving information of the nature of the claim served upon
Distributor or upon such person (or after Distributor or such
person shall have received notice of such service on any
designated agent). However, failure to notify a Fund of any
such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability
which the Fund may have to Distributor or any person against
whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of the
Fund's indemnity agreement contained in this Paragraph.
The Fund shall be entitled to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense or, if the Fund so elects, to assume
the defense of any suit brought to enforce such claim but, if
the Fund elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be
conducted by legal counsel chosen by the Fund and
satisfactory to the persons indemnified who are defendants in
the suit. In the event that the Fund elects to assume the
defense of any such suit and retain such legal counsel, the
persons indemnified who are defendants in the suit shall bear
the fees and expenses of any additional legal counsel
retained by them. If the Fund does not elect to assume the
defense of any such suit, the Fund will reimburse the persons
indemnified who are defendants in such suit for the
reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by
them in such litigation.
13. Duration and Termination of this Agreement. With
respect to the Fund and the Distributor, this Agreement shall
become effective upon its execution ("Effective Date") and
unless terminated as provided herein, shall remain in effect
through June 30, 1997, and from year to year thereafter, but
only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually (a) by a vote of majority of the members of
the Board of the Fund who are not interested persons of the
Distributor or of the Fund, voting in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by
the vote of either the Board of the Fund or a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Fund. This Agreement may be
terminated by and between an individual Fund and Distributor
at any time, without the payment of any penalty (a) on 60
days' written notice, by the Board of the Fund or by a vote
of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Fund, or by
Distributor, or (b) immediately, on written notice by the
Board of the Fund, in the event of termination or suspension
of any of the Registrations. This Agreement will
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. In
interpreting the provisions of this Paragraph 13, the
definitions contained in Section 2(a) of ICA-40 (particularly
the definitions of "interested person", "assignment", and
"majority of the outstanding shares") shall be applied.
14. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this
Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated
orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by each
party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge, or termination is sought. If the Fund should at
any time deem it necessary or advisable in the best interests
of the Fund that any amendment of this Agreement be made in
order to comply with the recommendations or requirements of
the SEC or any other governmental authority or to obtain any
advantage under state or Federal tax laws and notifies
Distributor of the form of such amendment, and the reasons
therefor, and if Distributor should decline to assent to such
amendment, the Fund may terminate this Agreement forthwith.
If Distributor should at any time request that a change be
made in the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust or By-
Laws or in its methods of doing business, in order to comply
with any requirements of Federal law or regulations of the
SEC, or of a national securities association of which
Distributor is or may be a member, relating to the sale of
Shares, and the Fund should not make such necessary changes
within a reasonable time, Distributor may terminate this
Agreement forthwith.
15. Liability. It is understood and expressly
stipulated that neither the shareholders of the Fund nor the
members of the Board of the Fund shall be personally liable
hereunder. The obligations of the Fund are not personally
binding upon, nor shall resort to the private property of,
any of the members of the Board of the Fund, nor of the
shareholders, officers, employees or agents of the Fund, but
only the Fund's property shall be bound.
16. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are
included for convenience or reference only, and in no way
define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise
affect their construction or effect. This Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
17. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be
given by a party to this Agreement or to any other party
hereunder shall be deemed sufficient if delivered in person
or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,

SELLING AGREEMENT
Dear Sirs:
As the principal underwriter of Xxxxx Xxx ____ Fund (the
"Fund"), a series of Xxxxx Xxx Advisor Trust (the "Trust"), a
Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, we
invite you as agent for your customer to participate in the
distribution of shares of beneficial interest in the Fund
("Shares"), subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. We hereby grant to you the right to make Shares
available to, and to solicit orders to purchase Shares by,
the public, subject to applicable federal and state law, the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws of the Trust,
and the current Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information relating to the Fund attached hereto (the
"Prospectus"). You will forward to us or to the Trust's
transfer agent, as we may direct from time to time, all
orders for the purchase of Shares obtained by you, subject to
such terms and conditions as to the form of payment, minimum
initial and subsequent purchase and otherwise, and in
accordance with such procedures and directions, as we may
specify from time to time. All orders are subject to
acceptance by an authorized officer of the Trust in Chicago
and the Trust reserves the right in its sole discretion to
reject any order. Share purchases are not binding on the
Trust until accepted and entered on the books of the Fund.
No Share purchase shall be effective until payment is
received by the Trust in the form of Federal funds. If a
Share purchase by check is cancelled because the check does
not clear, you will be responsible for any loss to the Fund
or to us resulting therefrom.
2. The public offering price of the Shares shall be the
net asset value per share of the outstanding Shares
determined in accordance with the then current Prospectus.
No sales charge shall apply.
3. As used in this Agreement, the term "Registration
Statement" with regard to the Fund shall mean the
Registration Statement most recently filed by the Trust with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and effective under
the Securities Act of 1933, as such Registration Statement is
amended by any amendments thereto at the time in effect, and
the terms "prospectus" and "statement of additional
information" with regard to the Fund shall mean the form of
prospectus and statement of additional information relating
to the Fund as attached hereto filed by the Trust as part of
the Registration Statement, as such form of prospectus and
statement of additional information may be amended or
supplemented from time to time.
4. You hereby represent that you are and will remain
during the term of this Agreement duly registered as a
broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
under the securities laws of each state where your activities
require such registration, and that you are and will remain
during the term of this Agreement a member in good standing
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD"). In the conduct of your activities hereunder, you
will abide by all applicable rules and regulations of the
NASD, including, without limitation, Rule 26 of the Rules of
Fair Practice of the NASD as in effect form time to time, and
all applicable federal and state securities laws, including
without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933.
5. This Agreement is subject to the right of the Trust
at any time to withdraw all offerings of the Shares by
written notice to us at our principal office. You
acknowledge that the Trust will not issue certificates
representing Shares.
6. Your obligations under this Agreement are not to be
deemed exclusive, and you shall be free to render similar
services to others so long as your services hereunder are not
impaired thereby.
7. You will sell Shares only to residents of states or
other jurisdictions where we have notified you that the
Shares have been registered or qualified for sale to the
public or are exempt from such qualification or registration.
Neither we nor the Trust will have any obligation to register
or qualify the Shares in any particular jurisdiction. We
shall not be liable or responsible for the issue, form
validity, enforceability or value of the Shares or for any
matter in connection therewith, except lack of good faith on
our part, and no obligation not expressly assumed by us in
this Agreement shall be implied therefrom. Nothing herein
contained, however, shall be deemed to be a condition,
stipulation or provision binding any person acquiring any
Shares to waive compliance with any provision of the
Securities Act of 1933, or to relieve the parties hereto from
any liability arising thereunder.
8. You are not authorized to make any representations
concerning the Fund, the Trust or the Shares except those
contained in the then current prospectus and statement of
additional information relating to the Fund, or printed
information issued by the Trust or by us as information
supplemental to such prospectus and statement of additional
information. We will supply you with a reasonable number of
copies of the then current prospectus and statement of
additional information of the Fund, and reasonable quantities
of any supplemental sales literature, sales bulletins, and
additional information as may be issued by us or the Trust.
You will not use any advertising or sales material relating
to the Fund other than materials supplied by the Trust or us,
unless such other material is approved in writing by us in
advance of such use.
9. You will not have any authority to act as agent for
the Trust, for us or for any other dealer. All transactions
between you and us contemplated by this Agreement shall be as
agents.
10. Either party to this Agreement may terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice to the other. Such notice
shall be deemed to have been given on the date on which it is
either delivered personally to the other party, is mailed
postpaid or delivered by telecopier to the other party at its
address listed below. This Agreement may be amended by us at
any time, and your placing of an order after the effective
date of any such amendment shall constitute your acceptance
thereof.
