EXHIBIT A TO

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AMONG

XXXXXX & ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT COUNSEL, INC.;

ADVISORONE FUNDS;

AND

MERGANSER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LP

Effective July 1, 2006, (or as instructed by the Adviser)

XXXXXX SHORT-TERM BOND FUND Class C

Ticker: DCSTX

XXXXXX SHORT-TERM BOND FUND Class N

Ticker: DNSTX

FEE SCHEDULE / COMPENSATION

Base Fee

20 Basis Points (0.20%)
(one basis point “bp” equals one hundredth of one percent)

Fulcrum Fee

The performance fee of the fund will vary by up to +/-20 bps (0.20%) and shall be added to or subtracted from the base fee to arrive at the fulcrum fee.  The comparative index is the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 1-3 Year Corp/Government Index (the “Index”).  The performance fee will be derived from a comparison of the net return of the fund’s Class N shares to that of the Index.  The performance fee will increase/decrease by 1 bp (0.01%) for each 3.75 bps (0.0375%) of outperformance/underperformance of the Index; i.e., the fee will increase/decrease by approximately 26.67% of the difference in performance.  There will be no adjustment from the base fee if the fund performs within the “null zone” defined as +/-5 bps (0.05%) relative to the benchmark. The lowest possible fee is 0.00% (0.20% base fee minus 0.20% performance fee) should the sub-adviser underperform the Index by 0.75%.  The highest possible fee is 0.40% (0.20% base fee plus 0.20% performance fee) should the sub-adviser outperform the Index by 0.75%.  For fund returns equal or within +/-5 bps (0.05% of the Index, the total fee will be the base fee of 0.2% (no performance fee added or subtracted)).  

In the first twelve months of this contract, the fulcrum/performance fee will be accrued daily, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets to date, and the performance of the Fund versus the Index to date, on the day of calculation.  However, no payment will be made until the end of the 12^th month, when the accumulated fulcrum fee will be paid in a lump sum.  Beginning in the thirteenth month of this contract, and each subsequent month, the entire fulcrum fee will accrue daily and be paid monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, and performance against the Index, over the prior rolling 12-month period.  In addition to the above, the sub-adviser has agreed to a 5 basis point waiver (reduction) for the first eighteen months.  The waiver will reduce the potential gross combined fee of base plus fulcrum addition by 5 bps (0.05%) imposing a voluntary cap at 35 bps (0.35%).  In any instance where the waiver is greater than or equal to the amount of the fulcrum fee earned by the sub-adviser, the sub-adviser will receive no payment, nor will the sub-adviser ever owe any payment to the Fund as a result of fee waivers.

The Fee Table below illustrates how the fulcrum fee is calculated:
