which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
do hereby agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR.
The Trust hereby appoints the Distributor as its agent for the sale and
distribution of Shares of the Funds, subject to the terms and for the period set
forth in this Agreement. The Distributor hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to act hereunder.
2. SERVICES AND DUTIES OF THE DISTRIBUTOR.
(a) The Distributor agrees to sell Shares of the Funds on a best
efforts basis as agent for the Trust during the term of this Agreement, upon the
terms and at the current offering price (plus sales charge, if any) described in
the Prospectus. As used in this Agreement, the term "Prospectus" shall mean the
current prospectus, including the statement of additional information, as
amended or supplemented, relating to the Funds and included in the currently
effective registration statement or post-effective amendment thereto (the
"Registration Statement") of the Trust under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"1933 Act") and the 0000 Xxx.
(b) During the continuous public offering of Shares of the Funds, the

on behalf of the Trust. Such purchase orders shall be deemed effective at the
time and in the manner set forth in the Prospectus.
(c) The Distributor, with the operational assistance of the Trust's
transfer agent, shall make Shares available for sale and redemption through the
National Securities Clearing Corporation's Fund/SERV System.
(d) In connection with all matters relating to this Agreement, the
Distributor agrees to act in conformity with the Trust's Declaration of Trust
and By-Laws and with the instructions of the Board and to comply with the
requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act, the regulations of the
NASD and all other applicable federal or state laws and regulations. The
Distributor acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to provide any
information or make any representations other than as contained in the
Prospectus and any sales literature specifically approved by the Trust and the
Distributor.
(e) The Distributor agrees to cooperate with the Trust in the
development of all proposed advertisements and sales literature relating to the
Funds. The Distributor agrees to review all proposed advertisements and sales
literature for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and shall file
with appropriate regulators those advertisements and sales literature it
believes are in compliance with such laws and regulations. The Distributor
agrees to furnish to the Trust any comments provided by regulators with respect
to such materials and to use its best efforts to obtain the approval of the
regulators to such materials.
(f) The Distributor at its sole discretion may repurchase Shares
offered for sale by shareholders of the Funds. Repurchase of Shares by the
Distributor shall be at the price determined in accordance with, and in the
manner set forth in, the current Prospectus. At the end of each business day,
the Distributor shall notify, by any appropriate means, the Trust and its
transfer agent of the orders for repurchase of Shares received by the
Distributor since the last report, the amount to be paid for such Shares, and
the identity of the shareholders offering Shares for repurchase. The Trust
reserves the right to suspend such repurchase right upon written notice to the
Distributor. The Distributor further agrees to act as agent for the Trust to
receive and transmit promptly to the Trust's transfer agent shareholder requests
for redemption of Shares.
(g) The Distributor may, in its discretion, enter into agreements with
such qualified broker-dealers as it may select, in order that such
broker-dealers also may sell Shares of the Funds. The form of any dealer
agreement shall be mutually agreed upon and approved by the Trust and the
Distributor. The Distributor may pay a portion of any applicable sales charge,
or allow a discount, to a selling broker-dealer, as described in the Prospectus
or, if not described, as agreed upon with the broker-dealer. The Distributor
shall include in the forms of agreement with selling broker-dealers a provision
for the forfeiture by them of their sales charge or discount with respect to
Shares sold by them and redeemed, repurchased or tendered for redemption within
seven business days after the date of confirmation of such purchases.
(h) The Distributor shall devote its best efforts to effect sales of
Shares of the Funds but shall not be obligated to sell any certain number of
Shares.
(i) The Distributor shall prepare reports for the Board regarding its
activities under this Agreement as from time to time shall be reasonably
requested by the Board, including regarding use of 12b-1 payments.
(j) The services furnished by the Distributor hereunder are not to be
deemed exclusive and the Distributor shall be free to furnish similar services
to others so long as its services under this Agreement are not impaired thereby.
The Trust recognizes that from time to time officers and employees of the
Distributor may serve as directors, trustees, officers and employees of other
entities (including investment companies), that such other entities may include
the name of the Distributor as part of their name and that the Distributor or
its affiliates may enter into distribution, administration, fund accounting,
transfer agent or other agreements with such other entities.

Fund's sponsor, the Adviser, otherwise determines that Rule 12b-1 fees shall

5. EXPENSES.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Trust shall indemnify, defend and hold the Distributor, and
each of its present or former members, officers, employees, representatives and
any person who controls or previously controlled the Distributor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any
and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages and expenses (including
the costs of investigating or defending any alleged losses, claims, demands,
liabilities, damages or expenses and any reasonable counsel fee incurred in
connection therewith) which the Distributor, each of its present and former
members, officers, employees or representatives or any such controlling person,
may incur under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other statute (including Blue
Sky laws) or any rule or regulation thereunder, or under common law or
otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement, or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any
Prospectus, as from time to time amended or supplemented, or in any annual or
interim report to shareholders, or in any advertisement or sales literature, or
arising out of or based upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Trust's
obligation to indemnify the Distributor and any of the foregoing indemnitees
shall not be deemed to cover any losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages
or expenses arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, Prospectus,
annual or interim report, or any such advertisement or sales literature in
reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Distributor and
furnished to the Trust or its counsel by the Distributor in writing and
acknowledging the purpose of its use for the purpose of, and used in, the
preparation thereof. The Trust's agreement to indemnify the Distributor, and any
of the foregoing indemnitees, as the case may be, with respect to any action, is
expressly conditioned upon the Trust being notified of such action brought
against the Distributor, or any of the foregoing indemnitees, within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the
Distributor, or such person, unless the failure to give notice does not
prejudice the Trust. Such notification shall be given by letter or by telegram
addressed to the Trust's President, but the failure so to notify the Trust of
any such action shall not relieve the Trust from any liability which the Trust
may have to the person against whom such action is brought by reason of any such
untrue, or alleged untrue, statement or omission, or alleged omission, otherwise
than on account of the Trust's indemnity agreement contained in this Section
6(a).
(b) The Trust shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in
the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any such loss, claim, demand, liability, damage or expense, but if the
Trust elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel
chosen by the Trust and approved by the Distributor, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In the event the Trust elects to assume the defense of
any such suit and retain such counsel, the indemnified defendant or defendants
in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained
by them. If the Trust does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, or
in case the Distributor does not, in the exercise of reasonable judgment,
approve of counsel chosen by the Trust or, if under prevailing law or legal
codes of ethics, the same counsel cannot effectively represent the interests of
both the Trust and the Distributor, and each of its present or former members,
officers, employees, representatives or any controlling person, the Trust will
reimburse the indemnified person or persons named as defendant or defendants in
such suit, for the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by Distributor and
them. The Trust's indemnification agreement contained in Sections 6(a) and 6(b)
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Distributor, and each of its present
or former members, officers, employees, representatives or any controlling
person, and shall survive the delivery of any Shares and the termination of this
Agreement. This agreement of indemnity will inure exclusively to the
Distributor's benefit, to the benefit of each of its present or former members,
officers, employees or representatives or to the benefit of any controlling
persons and their successors. The Trust agrees promptly to notify the
Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the
Trust or any of its officers or directors in connection with the issue and sale
of any of the Shares.
(c) The Trust shall advance attorney's fees and other expenses incurred
by any person in defending any claim, demand, action or suit which is the
subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 to the maximum
extent permissible under applicable law.
(d) The Distributor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Trust, and
each of its present or former trustees, officers, employees, representatives,
and any person who controls or previously controlled the Trust within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any
and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages and expenses (including
the costs of investigation or defending any alleged losses, claims, demands,
liabilities, damages or expenses, and any reasonable counsel fee incurred in
connection therewith) which the Trust, and each of its present or former
trustees, officers, employees, representatives, or any such controlling person,
may incur under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other statute (including Blue
Sky laws) or any rule or regulation thereunder, or under common law or
otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement
of a material fact contained in the Trust's Registration Statement or any
Prospectus, as from time to time amended or supplemented, or arising out of or
based upon the omission, or alleged omission, to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement not misleading,
but only if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, written information relating to the Distributor and furnished
to the Trust or its counsel by the Distributor for the purpose of, and used in,
the preparation thereof. The Distributor's agreement to indemnify the Trust, and
any of the foregoing indemnitees, is expressly conditioned upon the
Distributor's being notified of any action brought against the Trust, and any of
the foregoing indemnitees, such notification to be given by letter or telegram
addressed to the Distributor's President, within a reasonable time after the
summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the
claim shall have been served upon the Trust or such person unless the failure to
give notice does not prejudice the Distributor, but the failure so to notify the
Distributor of any such action shall not relieve the Distributor from any
liability which the Distributor may have to the person against whom such action
is brought by reason of any such untrue, or alleged untrue, statement or
omission, otherwise than on account of the Distributor's indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6(d).
(e) The Distributor shall be entitled to participate at its own expense
in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any such loss, claim, demand, liability, damage or expense, but if the
Distributor elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by
counsel chosen by the Distributor and approved by the Trust, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Distributor elects to
assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the indemnified
defendant or defendants in such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel retained by them. If the Distributor does not elect to assume
the defense of any such suit, or in case the Trust does not, in the exercise of
reasonable judgment, approve of counsel chosen by the Distributor or, if under
prevailing law or legal codes of ethics, the same counsel cannot effectively
represent the interests of both the Trust and the Distributor, and each of its
present or former members, officers, employees, representatives or any
controlling person, the Distributor will reimburse the indemnified person or
persons named as defendant or defendants in such suit, for the fees and expenses
of any counsel retained by the Trust and them. The Distributor's indemnification
agreement contained in Sections 6(d) and (e) shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Trust, and each of its present or former directors, officers, employees,
representatives or any controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of any
Shares and the termination of this Agreement. This Agreement of indemnity will
inure exclusively to the Trust's benefit, to the benefit of each of its present
or former directors, officers, employees or representatives or to the benefit of
any controlling persons and their successors. The Distributor agrees promptly to
notify the Trust of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against
the Distributor or any of its officers or directors in connection with the issue
and sale of any of the Shares.
(f) No person shall be obligated to provide indemnification under this
Section 6 if such indemnification would be impermissible under the 1940 Act, the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act or the rules of the NASD; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in such
event indemnification shall be provided under this Section 6 to the maximum
extent so permissible.
7. OBLIGATIONS OF TRUST.
This Agreement is executed by and on behalf of the Trust and the
obligations of the Trust hereunder are not binding upon any of the trustees,
officers or shareholders of the Trust individually but are binding only upon the
Trust and with respect to the Funds to which such obligations pertain.
8. COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original agreement but all of which counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
9. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflicts of law principles. To the extent
that the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin, or any of the provisions
herein, conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter
shall control, and nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent
with the 1940 Act or any rule or order of the SEC thereunder.
10. DURATION AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Fund
listed on Schedule A hereof as of the date hereof and, with respect to each Fund
not in existence on that date, on the date an amendment to Schedule A to this
Agreement relating to that Fund is executed. Unless sooner terminated as
provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from the
date hereof. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue
automatically in effect as to each Fund for successive one-year periods,
provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the
Trust's Board or (ii) the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of a Fund, and provided that in either event the continuance is also
approved by a majority of the Trust's Board who are not "interested persons" of
any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated,
without the payment of any penalty, with respect to a particular Fund (i)
through a failure to renew this Agreement at the end of a term, (ii) upon mutual
consent of the parties, or (iii) upon no less than 60 days' written notice, by
either the Trust through a vote of a majority of the members of the Board who
are not "interested persons" of the Trust and have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of this Agreement or by vote of a "majority
of the outstanding voting securities" of a Fund, or by the Distributor. The
terms of this Agreement shall not be waived, altered, modified, amended or
supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by
the Distributor and the Trust. If required under the 1940 Act, any such
amendment must be approved by the Trust's Board, including a majority of the
Trust's Board who are not "interested persons" of any party to this Agreement,
by vote cast in person at a meeting for the purpose of voting on such amendment.
In the event that such amendment affects the Adviser, the written instrument
shall also be signed by the Adviser. This Agreement will automatically terminate
in the event of its assignment.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY.
The Distributor agrees on behalf of its employees to treat all records
relative to the Trust and prior, present or potential shareholders of the Trust
as confidential, and not to use such records for any purpose other than
performance of the Distributor's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement, except after notification and prior approval by the Trust, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and may not be withheld where the
Distributor may be exposed to civil or criminal proceedings for failure to
comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted
authorities, when subject to governmental or regulatory audit or investigation,
or when so requested by the Trust. Records and information which have become
known to the public through no wrongful act of the Distributor or any of its
employees, agents or representatives shall not be subject to this paragraph.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.

reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or
otherwise affect their construction or effect. Any provision of this Agreement
which may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors. As used in this
Agreement, the terms "majority of the outstanding voting securities,"
"interested person," and "assignment" shall have the same meaning as such terms
have in the 1940 Act.
