PFS INVESTMENTS INC.
MUTUAL FUND DEALER AGREEMENT
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We understand that you are principal underwriter of shares (the Shares) of certain mutual funds listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the Funds) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (LMIS or You) desires that PFS Investments Inc. (Dealer or PFSI) act as a dealer with respect to the sale of Shares to its customers. In consideration of the mutual covenants stated below, you and Dealer agree as follows:
1. | Purchase of Shares at Public Offering Price. You authorize Dealer, among other things, to receive purchase orders for Shares on your behalf. Dealer will use such efforts to sell Shares as it in its sole discretion determines in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and rules and regulations, including rules and regulations of relevant self-regulatory organizations (collectively, Applicable Law). Sales of Shares through Dealer will be at the public offering price of such Shares (the net asset value of Shares plus any applicable sales charge), as determined in accordance with the then effective prospectus(es) and statement(s) of additional information, as such may be amended and supplemented from time-to-time, used in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (collectively, the Prospectus). 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 Prospectus. Dealer agrees to apply any scheduled variation in or waivers of sales charges uniformly to all customers meeting the qualifications therefor as specified in the Prospectus. Purchases of Shares by PFSI will be effected in the manner and upon the terms described in the Prospectus (including restrictions on frequent trading, imposition of redemption fees and restrictions on small account balances.) All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by the applicable Fund or you in the sole discretion of either for any reason. The minimum initial purchase and the minimum subsequent purchase of any Shares shall be as set forth in the applicable Prospectus. Dealer agrees to comply with provisions of Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act as applicable to each Fund (including reporting procedures adopted to comply with the Rule). |
2. | Rights of Accumulation and Letters of Intent. With respect to Funds sold with an initial sales charge, Dealers customers will be entitled to reduce sales charges on purchases made under any letter of intent or right of accumulation as described in the Prospectus. In such case, the concession from the public offering price retained by Dealer will be based upon such reduced sales charge; however, if a Dealer customer fails to fulfill a letter of intent, thereafter you will pay Dealer the amount required to reflect the appropriate concession based on the actual purchases made by the customer. When placing wire trades, Dealer agrees to advise you of any letter of intent executed by its customer or any available right of accumulation. |
1
3. | Exchanges and Redemptions. You further authorize Dealer to receive exchange or redemption orders for Shares on your behalf. Exchanges of Shares between Funds and redemptions of Shares by a Fund or repurchases of Shares by Dealer will be effected in the manner and subject to or consistent with the terms described in the Prospectus and in accordance with Applicable Law. Exchanges will be subject to such restrictions and charges as are provided for in the Prospectus. Redemptions and repurchases will be subject to any applicable contingent deferred sales charges, redemption fees or other charges as are provided for in the Prospectus. Any order placed by Dealer for the repurchase or redemption of Shares is subject to the timely receipt by you or the pertinent Funds transfer agent of all required documents in good order. |
4. | Handling and Receipt of Orders. The handling and settlement of purchase, exchange and redemption orders will be subject to the provisions of the Prospectus and such further procedures as you and Dealer may determine to be appropriate from time-to-time, consistent with this Agreement. You acknowledge and understand that Dealer operates as an introducing broker-dealer that does not hold customer funds or securities and that Dealer will transmit orders direct to your transfer agent via check and application. You will provide such assistance to Dealer in processing orders as Dealer reasonably requests. You shall notify Dealer of the states or jurisdictions in which each Funds shares are currently available for sale to the public. You shall have no obligation to register or make available Fund shares in any state or jurisdiction. With each order, Dealer will notify you of the state of residence of the customer to whom the order pertains. Dealer will be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of purchase, redemption or exchange orders it transmits to you by wire or telephone. All orders shall be subject to your confirmation. |
5. | Settlement and Delivery. |
A. | Certificates evidencing Shares will not be available. Upon payment for Shares, the Transfer Agent will issue and transmit to Dealer or its customer a confirmation statement evidencing the purchase of such Shares. Any transaction in uncertificated Shares, including purchases, transfers, redemptions and repurchases, shall be effected and evidenced by book-entry on the records of the Transfer Agent. |
B. | Dealer will transmit orders (new account applications) direct to your Transfer Agent on a fully disclosed basis, and shares of Funds owned by customers of Dealer will be held at your Transfer Agent. |
6. | Shareholder Servicing. For the compensation described in Paragraph 7, on an ongoing basis Dealer will provide shareholder servicing to its customers who maintain investments in Shares. In so doing, Dealer and its employees and representatives may provide the following services, among others: (a) answer customer inquiries regarding the Funds and customer investments therein; (b) assist customers in changing dividend options; (c) answer questions about special investment and |
2
withdrawal plans, and assist customers in enrolling in such plans; (d) distribute reports and materials relating to the Funds to customers; (e) assist in the establishment and maintenance of accurate customer accounts and records, including assisting in processing changes in addresses and other customer information; and (f) assist in processing purchase, exchange and redemption orders. |
7. | Compensation and Expenses. |
A. | With respect to Class A Shares that are sold with an initial sales charge, LMIS shall pay to Dealer the sales charge imposed on the purchases of such shares less any concession from the public offering price as specified in the applicable fund prospectus (the dealer reallowance). LMIS shall pay to Dealer the shareholder services fee beginning in the first month after purchase. LMIS shall cause the dealer reallowance and shareholder service fees due Dealer to be paid in accordance with current payment practices that exist between Dealer and Transfer Agent. |
B. | With respect to purchases of Class A shares that are sold without an initial sales charge at the net asset value breakpoint level (other than money market funds), LMIS will pay a commission to Dealer of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of the shares and LMIS will retain the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge paid on redemption of such shares. LMIS will pay to Dealer the shareholder services fee on such shares beginning in the thirteenth month after purchase. With respect to purchases of Class A shares of money market funds, LMIS shall pay to Dealer the shareholder services fee beginning in the first month after purchase. LMIS shall cause the foregoing payments due Dealer to be made in accordance with current payment practices that exist between Dealer and Transfer Agent. LMIS shall pay to Dealer any contingent deferred sales charge received on redemption of Class A shares that were sold by Dealer prior to December 1, 2007, and such payments shall be made by LMIS on a monthly basis, by wire transfer within ten (10) business days of the end of each month. |
C. | With respect to Class B shares, Dealer will pay a commission to its representatives of up to 4.00% of the purchase price of the shares and LMIS shall pay to Dealer the following: (i) any contingent deferred sales charges received upon redemption of Class B shares held in accounts on which Dealer is the broker-dealer of record, and (ii) the service and distribution fee, as disclosed in the then current prospectus, received on all shares held in accounts on which Dealer is the broker-dealer of record. LMIS shall cause Transfer Agent to pay amounts due Dealer under this subparagraph in accordance with current payment practices that exist between Dealer and Transfer Agent. |
D. | The shareholder services fees paid to Dealer under Subparagraphs 7.A. B. and C. above shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and shall continue so long as (i) Dealer provides shareholder services described in Paragraph 6 of this agreement to its customers who hold Shares and (ii) you or a Legg Mason, Inc. affiliate or one of your or their respective successors or assigns is the principal underwriter for the Funds, unless the continued receipt of each payment would violate Applicable Law. |
3
E. | You will pay Dealer ongoing trail commission compensation with respect to holdings by customers of Dealer of Shares of Funds with respect to which you pay such compensation generally to dealers as described in the Prospectus and at such rates as you and Dealer may determine from time to time. Payments under this Subparagraph 7.E. may be in addition to the payment of service fees as described in Subparagraph 7.D. of this Agreement, and are subject to Applicable Law and this Agreement. Your obligation to make payments to Dealer under this Subparagraph 7.E. shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and shall continue so long as (i) Dealers customers maintain their investments in Shares and (ii) you or a Legg Mason, Inc. affiliate or one of your or their respective successors or assigns is the principal underwriter for the Funds, unless the continued receipt of each payment would violate Applicable Law. |
F. | With respect to expenses not specifically addressed elsewhere in this Agreement, each party hereto will be responsible for the expenses it incurs in acting hereunder. Consistent with the Prospectus and Applicable Law, from time to time you and Dealer may determine that you will pay or reimburse Dealer for expenses it incurs in connection with selling Shares. |
G. | If your payments to Dealer under Subparagraphs 7.E and/or 7.D hereunder in whole or in part are financed by a Fund in accordance with a Funds plan of distribution adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, then in the event of the termination, cancellation or modification of such 12b-1 plan by a Funds board of directors or trustees or shareholders, Dealer agrees upon notification to waive its right to receive Rule 12b-1 compensation pursuant to Subparagraphs 7.B. and/or 7.C. until such time, if ever, as you receive payment. |
H. | With respect to shares subject to a contingent deferred sales load where Dealer has paid a commission to its representatives from its own resources, the parties agree to cooperate in the transfer of shares held by customers of PFSI. The remaining contingent deferred sales charge on any such transferred shares will be tracked by PFPC, and, on a monthly basis, LMIS and PFSI shall net settle transferred contingent deferred sales charges. Such payment shall be paid by wire transfer within ten (10) business days following month end. |
I. | Mutual Fund Support Fee. LMIS hereby agrees to pay PFSI, in consideration of the Funds participation in PFSIs retail distribution channel and related mutual fund sales infrastructure, a Mutual Fund Support Fee (Fee) at the rates set forth in the attached Schedule B. LMIS understands and agrees that participation as used in the preceding sentence does not in any way mean exclusive or preferential offering, access or participation, inclusion on any recommended list, or preferential consideration in investment recommendations to customers. LMIS shall pay the fee within 30 days of its receipt from PFSI of a monthly invoice, beginning with the month ending December 31, 2007. LMIS confirms that it will pay the Fee from its own revenues, profits, or retained earnings and not from the assets of the Funds. Both parties will disclose the Fee as may be required by applicable law and otherwise will comply with all applicable law with respect to the payment or receipt of the Fee |
4
8. | Broker-Dealer Regulation. Each party to this Agreement represents that it is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and each party agrees to notify the other should it cease to be such a member through expulsion or otherwise or if its membership is suspended. |
With respect to the sale of Shares hereunder, you and Dealer agree to abide by the Conduct Rules of FINRA, including but not limited to the following:
A. | Dealer shall not withhold placing customers orders for Shares so as to profit itself as a result of such withholding. Dealer shall not purchase any Shares from you other than for its own investment or to cover purchase orders already received by it from its customers. |
B. | If any Shares purchased by Dealer are repurchased by the Fund which issued such Shares or by you for the account of that Fund, or are tendered for redemption, within seven (7) business days after confirmation by you of the original purchase order for such Shares, no compensation as set forth in paragraph 7 above will be payable to Dealer with respect to such Shares, and with respect to Shares which are not sold with an initial sales charge, Dealer will refund to you the full amount of any such compensation paid or allowed to it on the original sale. You agree to notify Dealer in writing of any such repurchase or redemption within fifteen (15) business days of the date on which the redemption is requested or Share certificates are tendered to you, the pertinent Fund or its Transfer Agent. Termination or cancellation of this Agreement will not relieve the parties from the requirements of this Subparagraph 8.B. |
C. | Neither party to this Agreement will, as principal, purchase any Shares from a customer at a price lower than the net asset value next determined by or for the Fund that issued such Shares. Nothing in this subparagraph shall prevent Dealer from selling Shares for a customer to you or to the Fund which issued such Shares at the net asset value then quoted by or for such Fund (less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge or other charges) and charging a fair commission or service fee for handling the transaction. |
9. | Provision of Materials and Fund Information. |
A. | You will furnish Dealer with each Funds current Prospectuses, periodic reports to Fund shareholders, marketing and other materials you have prepared relating to the Funds, in such quantities as Dealer reasonably requests |
B. | You shall use reasonable efforts to notify Dealer of any departure by a Fund portfolio manager promptly upon your receipt of such notice of an intended departure. |
C. | You shall make reasonable efforts to provide access to the portfolio manager(s) (or their representatives) of each Fund to the employees and representatives of Dealer, as designated by Dealer from time-to-time, which access shall be for the limited purpose of conducting due diligence and discussing other significant issues. |
5

(a) Proposed or actual mergers, name changes and liquidations
(b) Investment objective/strategy changes
(c) Proxy statements

10. | Representations by Dealer Concerning the Funds. Dealer and its agents and employees are not authorized to make any representations concerning the Funds or their Shares except those contained in or consistent with the Prospectus and such other written materials you may provide to Dealer regarding the Funds. |
11. | Prospectus and Materials Delivery to Clients. Dealer will provide each of its customers purchasing Shares with the pertinent prospectus(es) prior to or at the time of initial purchase. Dealer will provide any customer who so requests with the pertinent statement(s) of additional information. You are responsible for providing to shareholders, at your expense, all shareholder proxy materials, all annual or interim reports, all prospectuses and prospectus amendments (other than that provided at the time of initial purchase by Dealer), and any other materials required by law, rule or regulation. |
