4. Compliance Matters

(a) You shall act as a distributor and principal underwriter of Shares in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, all rules and regulations made or adopted pursuant to (i) the 1940 Act, (ii) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), (iii) any securities association registered under the 1934 Act, including without limitation the NASD Conduct Rules or rules of any other applicable self-regulatory organization.

(b) You agree to submit sales literature and marketing materials (including memorandums, bulletins, and/or information or related materials) intended for public distribution (“CGMI Marketing Materials”) to the co-principal underwriter of the Investment Company which is an affiliate of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ prior to distribution or

publication for written approval. Such CGMI Marketing Materials shall be submitted 15 days in advance for review. You shall be responsible for reviewing and making such filings with the NASD, as required, of CGMI Marketing Materials relating to each Fund.

(c) You shall adopt and follow procedures for the confirmation of sales to investors and qualified securities dealers, banks and other intermediaries (collectively “Intermediaries”) timeliness of orders, the collection of amounts payable by investors and Intermediaries on such sales, the correction of errors related to distribution of Shares, the cancellation of unsettled transactions, and assisting with the solicitation of proxies, and any other matters governed by Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act (as may apply to a distributor or principal underwriter for a registered investment company), each as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of the NASD, any other self-regulatory organization, and the federal securities laws. You shall provide reports or other information to the Investment Company at the Investment Company’s reasonable request, including, without limitation, reports related to the operation and implementation of the Investment Company’s policies related to customer privacy, safeguarding of customer information, anti-money-laundering, sales and marketing practices, the operation of your code of ethics or other policies and procedures of the Investment Company.

(d) You represent, warrant and agree that you have adopted and implemented: (i) an anti-money-laundering program in compliance with the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the regulations thereunder and NASD Conduct Rules, including, without limitation, customer identification program procedures, monitoring for suspicious activity, and (ii) procedures to comply with applicable law and regulation related to cash transaction reporting requirements, as well as monitoring and reporting under FinCEN, OFAC and other government watch lists.

(e) The Investment Company agrees that the information exchanged under the Agreement and information about the respective customers and potential customers of each is confidential and as such shall not be disclosed by the Fund, sold or used by the Fund in any way except to carry out the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such customer information may be disclosed by the Investment Company on a “need to know” basis as set forth in applicable privacy rules and regulations. The obligations regarding confidentiality hereunder shall not apply to any information which is (i) otherwise publicly available, (ii) already possessed by the entity to whom the information was disclosed prior to disclosure hereunder, (iii) independently developed by the entity, or (iv) disclosed pursuant to law, rule, regulation or court or administrative order. The Investment Company shall have the right to use any list of shareholders of the Fund or any other list of investors which it obtains in connection with its provision of services under this Agreement, provided that such use is consistent with applicable law and your privacy policies of the Investment Company, including the provision of information to the Fund’s transfer agent or to agents used for the solicitation of proxies. You agree that you will comply with all of the foregoing obligations of this to the extent that information is treated as customer information of the Fund under applicable law or regulation, including without limitation Regulation S-P.

(f) From time to time, each Fund may implement policies, procedures or charges in an effort to avoid the potential adverse effects on the Fund of short-term trading by market timers. You agree to provide other assistance reasonably designed to achieve compliance with these policies. You will maintain and enforce policies with respect to frequent trading and share redemption as are reasonable and customary in the industry. To the extent that accounts are held in street name, you agree to cooperate with the Investment Company and the Investment Company’s Chief Compliance Officer (including, to the extent practicable, providing account level sales and redemption information) to assist in compliance with the frequent trading and redemption fee provisions as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and other policies set forth in the Fund’s Registration Statement.

(g) Purchases, exchanges and redemptions of Shares through you will be at the public offering price of such Shares (the net asset value of the Shares, with appropriate adjustments for any applicable sales charge), as determined in accordance with the then effective Registration Statement used in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. The public offering price will reflect scheduled variations in or the elimination of sales charges on sales of Shares either generally to the public or in connection with special purchase plans, as described in the Registration Statement. You agree to apply any scheduled variation in or waivers of sales charges uniformly to all customers meeting the qualifications therefor as specified in the Registration Statement. With respect to Funds sold with an initial sales charge, your customers will be entitled to reduced sales charges on purchases made under any letter of intent or right of accumulation as described in the Registration Statement. In such case, the concession from the public offering price retained by you will be based upon such reduced sales charge. When placing wire trades, your agree to advise the Funds of any letter of intent executed by its customer or any available right of accumulation. The minimum initial purchase and the minimum subsequent purchase of any Shares shall be as set forth in the applicable Registration Statement. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by the applicable Fund in its sole discretion for any reason.

(h) The handling and settlement of purchase, exchange and redemption orders will be subject to the provisions of the Registration Statement and such further procedures as the Investment Company and you may determine to be appropriate from time-to-time, consistent with this Amendment. Citigroup Global Markets’ internal systems are suitably designed to handle such orders. Each Fund shall notify you of the states or jurisdictions in which its Shares are currently available for sale to the public. The Investment Company shall have no obligation to register or make available Fund shares in any state or jurisdiction. You will be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of purchase, redemption or exchange orders accepted by you.

(j) The Investment Company acknowledges that the co-principal underwriter which is affiliated with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for reviewing the Registration Statement of the Fund for the accuracy and completeness of all disclosure concerning the distribution of Shares and that you shall not have such responsibility, except, in each case, to the extent the disclosure information is provided by you or pertains to

information concerning your operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall alter your responsibilities for complying with the terms of the Registration Statement in your offering of Shares.

5. Records. Upon the Investment Company’s reasonable request, you will provide access to or make copies of any such records the Investment Company does not possess in order to: (a) comply with a request from a government body or self-regulatory organization; (b) verify compliance by the other party of the terms of this Agreement; or (c) make required regulatory reports.

6. Section 9 of the 1940 Act. You agree to promptly notify the Investment Company should you cease to be a member of the NASD through expulsion or otherwise or if its membership is suspended or should you be subject to any limitations on your conduct under Section 9 of the 1940 Act.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Investment Company, its several officers and Board members, and any person who controls the Investment Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating or defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which the Investment Company, its officers or Board members, or any such controlling person may incur, under the 1933 Act or under common law or otherwise, on account of any act of yours or any of your employees constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and duties under the Agreement or this Amendment.
