Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act;

nevertheless agrees to abide by all the rules and regulations of
the SEC and the NASD which are binding upon underwriters and
dealers in the distribution of securities of open-end investment
companies; that its customers' accounts are insured by the
Securities Investors Protection Corporation ("SIPC"); and that,
during the term of this Agreement, it will abide by all of the
rules and regulations of the NASD including, without limitation,
the NASD Conduct Rules. Financial Institution agrees to notify
OGDS immediately in the event of (1) the termination of its
coverage by the SIPC; (2) its expulsion or suspension from the
NASD, or (3) its being found to have violated any applicable
federal or state law, rule or regulation arising out of its
activities as a broker-dealer or in connection with this
Agreement, or which may otherwise affect in any material way its
ability to act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Financial Institution's expulsion from the NASD will
automatically terminate this Agreement immediately without
notice. Suspension of Financial Institution from the NASD for
violation of any applicable federal or state law, rule or
regulation will terminate this Agreement effective immediately
upon OGDS' written notice of termination to Financial

immediately of any action by or communication from state or
federal banking authorities, state securities authorities, the
SEC, or any other party which may affect its status as a bank or
which may otherwise affect in any material way its ability to act
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any action or
decision of any of the foregoing regulatory authorities or any
court of appropriate jurisdiction which affects Financial
Institution's ability to act in accordance with the terms of this
agreement, including the loss of its exemption from registration
as a broker or dealer, will terminate this Agreement effective
upon OGDS' written notice of termination to Financial
Institution; and
(b) That Financial Institution is registered with the appropriate
securities authorities in all states, territories and jurisdictions in
which its activities make such registration necessary.

2. Financial Institution Acts as Agent for its Customers.
The parties agree that in each transaction in the Shares of any Fund and
with regard to any services rendered pursuant to this Agreement:
(a) Financial Institution is acting as agent for the customer;
(b) The customer is for all purposes the customer of Financial Institution
(c) Each transaction is initiated solely upon the order of the customer;
(d) As between Financial Institution and its customer, the customer will
have full beneficial ownership of all Shares of the Funds;
(e) Each transaction shall be for the account of the customer and not for
Financial Institution's account; and
(f) Each transaction shall be without recourse to Financial Institution
provided that Financial Institution acts in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
Financial Institution will offer and sell the Shares of the Funds only in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable current
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") and will make no
representations not included in said Prospectus or SAI or in any authorized
supplemental material supplied by OGDS. Financial Institution shall not
have any authority in any transaction to act as agent for OGDS or One
Group.
B. Sales of Fund Shares.
1. Execution of Orders for Purchase and Redemption of Shares.
(a) All orders for the purchase of any Shares shall be executed at the
then-current public offering price per share (i.e., the net asset value
per share plus the applicable initial sales load, if any) and all
orders for the redemption of any Shares shall be executed at the net
asset value per share, in each case as described in the applicable Fund
prospectus. Any applicable deferred sales charges (contingent or
otherwise), redemption fee, or similar charge or fee will be deducted
by One Group prior to the transmission of the redemption proceeds to
Financial Institution or its customer. OGDS and One Group reserve the
right to reject any purchase request in their sole discretion.
The procedures relating to all orders will be subject to the terms of
the prospectus of each Fund and OGDS' written instructions to Financial
Institution from time to time. Specifically,
(i) orders to purchase and redeem shares received by Financial
Institution prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time ("ET")) ("Market
Close") on any day that a Fund is open for business ("Day 1")
will be electronically transmitted to One Group by 8:00 a.m., ET
on the next day that the Fund is open for business ("Day 2")(such
orders are referred to as "Day 1 Trades"); and
(ii) orders to purchase and redeem shares received by Financial
Institution after the Market Close on Day 1, but prior to the
Market Close on Day 2 ("Day 2 Trades") will be electronically
transmitted to One Group on the second day that a Fund is open
for business following Day 1.
(iii) If the Financial Institution cannot electronically transmit
Day 1 Trades by 8:00 a.m. on Day 2, Financial Institution will
transmit such orders by facsimile prior to the beginning of
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 9:30 a.m ET)
("Market Open") on Day 2.
2
(b) Day 1 Trades will be effected at the NAV calculated as of the Market
Close on Day 1and Day 2 Trades will be effected at the NAV calculated
as of the Market Close on Day 2. One Group agrees that, consistent with
the foregoing, Day 1 Trades will have been received by One Group prior
to the Market Close on Day 1 for all purposes, including, without
limitation, effecting distributions.
(c) Payments for Shares shall be made as specified in the applicable Fund
prospectus, (i.e., by wire directly to State Street Bank and Trust
Company, One Group's transfer agent). If payment for any purchase order
is not received in accordance with the terms of the applicable Fund
prospectus, OGDS reserves the right, without notice, to cancel the sale
and to hold Financial Institution responsible for any loss sustained as
a result thereof, including loss of profit.
2. Initial Sales Loads Payable to Financial Institution.
(a) On each order accepted by OGDS, in exchange for the performance of
sales and/or distribution services, Financial Institution will be
entitled to receive the applicable percentage of the initial sales
load, if any, as established by OGDS from the amount paid by Financial
Institution's customer. The initial sales loads for any Fund shall be
those set forth in the Fund's prospectus. The portion of the initial
sales load payable to Financial Institution may be changed at any time,
at OGDS' sole discretion, upon written notice to Financial Institution.
(b) Transactions may be settled by Financial Institution: (i) by payment of
the full purchase price less an amount equal to Financial Institution's
applicable percentage of the initial sales load, or (ii) by payment of
the full purchase price, in which case Financial Institution shall
receive, not less frequently than monthly, the aggregate fees due to it
on orders received and settled.
(c) It shall be the obligation of the Financial Institution to either (i)
assess the appropriate initial sales load for each transaction and to
forward the public offering price, net of the amount of the initial
sales load to be reallocated to the Financial Institution, to the
appropriate Fund, or (ii) to provide OGDS with all necessary
information regarding the application of the appropriate initial sales
load to each transaction.
(d) In the event that Financial Institution notifies OGDS in writing that
Financial Institution elects to waive such initial sales load, and if
the Funds' prospectus permits such waiver, such initial sales load will
not be assessed on the transaction. Neither the Fund nor OGDS shall
have any responsibility to correct the payment or assessment of an
incorrect initial sales load due to the failure of the Financial
Institution to fulfill the foregoing obligation.
3. Contingent Deferred Sales Charges and Advance Commissions Payable to
Financial Institution.
(a) Upon the purchase of certain Shares, as described in the applicable
prospectuses, OGDS will pay Financial Institution an advance commission
as published in the Fund's current prospectus. This amount is not to be
considered an initial sales load and should not be deducted from the
public offering price of the Shares which shall be forwarded to the
Fund. Generally, a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") will be
assessed upon the redemption of Shares with regard to which an advance
commission is paid by OGDS.
(b) To receive advance commissions from OGDS on Shares that are subject
to a CDSC, Financial Institution must open investor accounts with the
Fund on a fully disclosed basis or be able to account for share
ownership periods used in calculating the CDSC. Furthermore, should the
custody (or record ownership) of the shares of the investor account(s)
be transferred during the applicable CDSC holding period (as described
in the Fund prospectus) to a financial institution which does not
maintain investor accounts on a fully disclosed basis and does not
account for share ownership periods, the Financial Institution agrees
to reimburse OGDS prior to such transfer for advance commissions paid
to it by OGDS.
3
(c) In the event that Financial Institution notifies OGDS in writing that
Financial Institution elects to waive such advance commission, and if
the Fund's prospectus permits such a waiver, the advance commission
will not be paid and the CDSC will not be charged upon the redemption
of the relevant Shares. . Neither the Fund nor OGDS shall have any
responsibility to correct the assessment of an incorrect CDSC due to
the failure of the Financial Institution to fulfill the foregoing
obligation.
C. Distribution Services.
1. Agreement to Provide Distribution Services.
(a) With regard to those Funds noted on Exhibit A which pay asset-based
sales charges under Distribution and Shareholder Services Plans adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under The Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("Rule 12b-1 Fees"), OGDS hereby appoints Financial Institution
to render or cause to be rendered distribution and sales services to
the Funds and their shareholders.
(b) The services to be provided under sub-section (a) may include, but are
not limited to, the following:
(i) Assisting OGDS in marketing shares of the Funds to Financial
Institution's prospective and existing customers;
(ii) Aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests
for Shares from customers and placing net purchase and redemption
orders with the Funds or their transfer agent;
(iii) Providing periodic information to customers about their
holdings in the Funds;
(iv) Arranging for bank wires and federal funds wires to and from
customers' accounts;
(v) Responding to questions about the Funds from customers and
potential customers;
(vi) Processing dividend payments;
(vii) Assisting customers in changing dividend options, account
designations, and addresses;
(viii)Where required by law, forwarding Fund shareholder
communications (such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual and
semi-annual financial statements, and dividend, distribution and
tax notices) to Customers;
(ix) Advertising the availability of the Funds; and
(x) Providing other similar services as OGDS may reasonably
request to the extent permitted under applicable laws or
regulations.
(c) OGDS may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of, or terminate
entirely, Rule 12b-1 Fee payments. In addition, Rule 12b-1 Fees may be
reduced or eliminated at any time if the Distribution and Shareholder
Services Plans under which the fees are paid are materially amended or
terminated either by the Board of Trustees of One Group or by vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund.
2. Asset-Based Sales Loads Payable to Financial Institution.
During the term of this Agreement, OGDS will pay Financial Institution Rule
12b-1 Fees for each Fund as set forth in the Fund's current prospectus. For
the payment period in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates,
there shall be an appropriate pro-ration of the fee on the basis of the
number of days that this Agreement is in effect during the period.

D. Miscellaneous.
1. Delivery of Prospectuses and Reports to Customers.
Financial Institution will deliver or cause to be delivered to each
customer, at or prior to the time of any purchase of Shares, a copy of the
current prospectus of the Fund and, upon request by a customer or
shareholder, a copy of the Fund's current Statement of Additional
Information. Financial Institution agrees to deliver to Shareholder, upon
the request of OGDS, copies of amended prospectuses and to deliver or cause
to be delivered to shareholders proxy solicitation materials and copies of
the Funds' annual and semi-annual reports. Financial Institution shall not
make any representations concerning any Shares other than those contained
in the prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of a Fund or in
any promotional materials or sales literature furnished to Financial
Institution by OGDS or One Group.
2. ERISA Assets.
(a) Financial Institution understands that the Department of Labor views
ERISA as prohibiting fiduciaries of discretionary ERISA assets from
receiving administrative service fees or other compensation from funds
in which the fiduciary's discretionary ERISA assets are invested. To
date, the Department of Labor has not issued any exemptive order or
advisory opinion that would exempt fiduciaries from this
interpretation. Without specific authorization from the Department of
Labor, fiduciaries should carefully avoid investing discretionary
assets in any fund pursuant to an arrangement where the fiduciary is to
be compensated by the fund for such investment. Receipt of such
compensation could violate ERISA provisions against fiduciary
self-dealing and conflict of interest and could subject the fiduciary
to substantial penalties.
(d) Financial Institution will not perform or provide any duties or
services that would cause it to be a fiduciary under Section 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. For purposes of that Section,
Financial Institution understands that any person who exercises any
discretionary authority or discretionary control with respect to any
individual retirement account or its assets, or who renders investment
advice for a fee, or has any authority or responsibility to do so, or
has any discretionary authority or discretionary responsibility in the
administration of such an account, is a fiduciary.
3. Blue Sky.
(a) Shares of the Funds have been qualified for sale under, or are exempt
from the requirements of the respective securities laws of the states
and jurisdictions listed on Exhibit A. OGDS will promptly notify
Financial Institution in the event shares of the Funds cease to be
qualified for sale under, or cease to qualify for an exemption from the
requirements of the respective securities laws of the states and
jurisdictions listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement.
(b) Financial Institution agrees and certifies that:
(i) It is licensed to offer and sell securities of open-end
investment companies in all jurisdictions in which it plans to
offer and sell such securities;
(ii) It will comply with all applicable state and federal laws
and the rules and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies;
and
(iii) It will not sell or offer for sale Shares of the Funds in
any state or jurisdiction where the Shares have not been
qualified for sale.
4. Indemnification.
(a) Financial Institution shall indemnify and hold harmless OGDS, OGA, each
Fund, the transfer agent of the Funds, and their respective
subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees
from all direct
5
or indirect liabilities, losses or costs (including attorneys fees)
arising from, related to or otherwise connected with:
(i) any material breach by Financial Institution of any
representations, covenants or warranties of this Agreement;
(ii) any actions or omissions of OGDS, OGA, any Fund, the
transfer agent of the Funds, and their subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, directors, agents and employees in reliance upon any
oral, written or computer or electronically transmitted
instructions, documents or materials believed to be genuine and
to have been given by or on behalf of Financial Institution; or
(iii) any willful misconduct or negligence (as measured by
industry standards) of Financial Institution, its agents and
employees, in the performance of, or failure to perform, its
obligations under this Agreement, or any reckless disregard of
its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) OGDS shall indemnify and hold harmless Financial Institution and its
subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees
from and against any and all direct or indirect liabilities, losses or
costs (including attorneys fees) arising from, related to or otherwise
connected with:
(i) any breach by OGDS of any representations, covenants or
warranties of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement;
(ii) any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Fund's Registration Statement or Prospectus, or as a result
of or based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading; and
(iii) any willful misconduct or negligence (as measured by
industry standards) of OGDS, its agents and employees, in the
performance of, or failure to perform, its obligations under this
Agreement, or any reckless disregard of its obligations under
this Agreement
(c) OGA shall indemnify and hold harmless Financial Institution and its
subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees
from and against any and all direct or indirect liabilities, losses or
costs (including attorneys fees) arising from, related to or otherwise
connected with any breach by OGA of any provision of this Agreement.
(d) The agreement of the parties in this Section 4 to indemnify each other
is conditioned upon the party entitled to indemnification (Indemnified
Party) giving notice to the party required to provide indemnification
(Indemnifying Party) promptly after the summons or other first legal
process for any claim as to which indemnity may be sought is served on
the Indemnified Party. Such notice will be given by a means of prompt
delivery that provides confirmation of receipt to the address provided
below in Paragraph 9. The Indemnified Party shall permit the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting from it, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (which approval
shall not unreasonably be withheld), and that the Indemnified Party may
participate in such defense at its expense. If the Indemnifying party
does not elect to assume the defense, the Indemnifying Party will
reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of
any counsel retained by it. The failure of the Indemnified Party to
give notice as provided in this Sub-section (d) shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability other than its indemnity
obligation under this Section. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense
of any such claim or litigation, shall, without the written consent of
the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
