1. Selling Group Member. Intermediary represents that it is properly qualified under all applicable federal, state and local laws to engage in the business and transactions described in this agreement. In addition, Intermediary agrees to comply with the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as if they were applicable to Intermediary in connection with its activities under this agreement. Intermediary agrees that it is responsible for determining the suitability of any Shares as investments for its customers and that Distributor has no responsibility for such determination. Intermediary shall maintain all records required by Applicable Laws (as defined below) or that are otherwise reasonably requested by Distributor relating to Intermediary’s transactions in Shares. Intermediary shall at all times comply with (i) the provisions of this agreement related to compliance with all applicable rules and regulations and (ii) the terms of each registration statement and prospectus for the Fund.

2. Qualification of Shares. The Fund will make available to Intermediary a list of the states or other jurisdictions in which Shares are registered for sale or are otherwise qualified for sale, which may be revised by the Fund from time to time. Intermediary will make offers of Shares to its customers only in those states and will ensure that it (including its associated persons) is appropriately licensed and qualified to offer and sell Shares in any state or other jurisdiction that requires such licensing or qualification in connection with its activities.

3. Orders. All orders Intermediary submits for transactions in Shares shall reflect orders received from its customers or shall be for its account for its own bona fide investment. Intermediary will date and timestamp its customer orders and forward them promptly each day and in any event prior to the time required by the applicable Fund prospectus (the “Prospectus,” which for purposes of this agreement includes the Statement of Additional Information incorporated therein). As agent for its customers, Intermediary shall not withhold placing customers’ orders for any Shares so as to profit Intermediary or its customers as a result of such withholding. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and any operating procedures and policies established by Distributor or the Fund (directly or through its transfer agent) from time to time, Intermediary is hereby authorized to place orders directly with the Fund for the purchase of Shares. All purchase orders Intermediary submits are subject to acceptance or rejection, and Distributor reserves the right to suspend or limit the sale of Shares. Intermediary is not authorized to make any representations concerning Shares except such representations as are contained in the Prospectus and in such supplemental written information that the Fund or Distributor (acting on behalf of the Fund) may provide to Intermediary with respect to a Fund. All orders that are accepted for the purchase of Shares shall be executed at net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the relevant subscription date, as described in the Prospectus.

4. Compliance with Applicable Laws; Distribution of Prospectus and Reports; Confirmations. In connection with its respective activities hereunder, each Party shall abide by the Conduct Rules of FINRA and all other rules of self-regulatory organizations of which it is a member, as well as all laws, rules and regulations, including federal and state securities laws, that are applicable to it (and its associated persons) from time to time in connection with its activities hereunder (“Applicable Laws”). Intermediary is authorized to distribute to Intermediary’s customers the current Prospectus, as well as any supplemental sales material received from the Fund or Distributor (acting on behalf of the Fund) (on the terms and for the period specified by Distributor or stated in such material). Intermediary is not authorized to distribute, furnish or display any other sales or promotional material relating to a Fund without Distributor’s prior written approval, but Intermediary may identify the Fund in a listing of closed-end funds available through Intermediary to its customers. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, Intermediary shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each customer who purchases Shares from or through Intermediary, copies of all annual and interim reports, proxy solicitation materials, and any other information and materials relating to the Fund and prepared by or on behalf of the Fund or Distributor. If required by Rule 10b-10 under the Securities Exchange Act or other Applicable Laws, Intermediary shall send or cause to be sent confirmations or other reports to its customers containing such information as may be required by Applicable Laws.

5. Sales Charges and Concessions. [not applicable].

6. Transactions in Shares. With respect to all orders Intermediary places for the purchase of Shares, unless otherwise agreed, settlement shall be made with the Fund within three (3) business days after acceptance of the order. If payment is not so received or made, the transaction may be cancelled. In this event or in the event that Intermediary cancels the trade for any reason, Intermediary shall be responsible for any loss resulting to the Fund or to Distributor from Intermediary’s failure to make payments as aforesaid. Intermediary shall not be entitled to any gains generated thereby. Intermediary also assumes responsibility for any loss to a Fund caused by any order placed by Intermediary on an “as-of” basis subsequent to the trade date for the order and will immediately pay such loss to the Fund upon notification or demand. Such orders shall be acceptable only as permitted by the Fund and shall be subject to the Fund’s policies pertaining thereto, which may include receipt of an executed Letter of Indemnity in a form acceptable to the Fund and/or to Distributor prior to the Fund’s acceptance of any such order.

7. Accuracy of Orders; Customer Signatures. Intermediary shall be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of any orders transmitted by it on behalf of its customers by any means, including wire or telephone. In addition, Intermediary shall guarantee the signatures of its customers when such guarantee is required by the Fund, and Intermediary shall indemnify and hold harmless all persons, including Distributor and the Fund’s transfer agent, from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or incurred in reliance upon such signature guarantee.

8. Indemnification. Intermediary shall indemnify and hold harmless Distributor and Distributor’s officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and losses (collectively, the “Losses”) resulting from any breach by Intermediary of any provision of this agreement.

Distributor shall indemnify and hold harmless Intermediary and Intermediary’s officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any breach by Distributor of any provision of this agreement or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact set forth in a Fund’s Prospectus or supplemental sales material provided to Intermediary by Distributor (and used by Intermediary on the terms and for the period specified by Distributor or stated in such material), or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements therein not misleading.

Each Party represents and warrants that it is in compliance with and will continue to comply with the AML Acts and applicable rules thereunder (“AML Laws”), including FINRA Rule 3310, in all relevant respects.
