Costs associated with such searches will be passed through to the Trust as a miscellaneous expense in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

4. Anti-Money Laundering and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Programs

The Trust acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review and consider the written procedures provided by USBGFS describing various tools used by USBGFS which are designed to promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activity by monitoring certain aspects of shareholder activity as well as written procedures for verifying a customer’s identity (collectively, the “Procedures”). Further, the Trust has determined that the Procedures, as part of the Trust’s overall anti-money laundering program and the Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention program, are reasonably designed to prevent the Trust from being used for money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities and to achieve compliance with the applicable provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Office of Foreign Assets Control Sanctions Programs (“economic sanctions”), the USA PATRIOT Act of

2001, and the implementing regulations thereunder.

Based on this determination, the Trust hereby instructs and directs USBGFS to implement the Procedures on the Trust’s behalf, as such may be amended or revised from time to time. It is contemplated that these Procedures will be amended from time to time by USBGFS as additional regulations are adopted and/or regulatory guidance is provided relating to the Trust’s anti-money laundering and identity theft responsibilities.

The Trust acknowledges and agrees that although it is directing USBGFS to implement the Procedures on its behalf, USBGFS is implementing the Procedures as a service provider to the Trust and the Trust is and remains ultimately responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations with respect to anti-money laundering, customer identification, identity theft prevention, economic sanctions, and terrorist financing, whether under the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the establishment and board adoption of its own formal anti-money laundering program and the designation of its own anti-money laundering officer.

The Trust further acknowledges and agrees that certain portions of the Procedures are applicable to certain products, entities, structures, or geographies and, accordingly, certain portions of the Procedures may not be implemented with respect to the Trust. The Trust has had the opportunity to discuss the Procedures with USBGFS, and the Trust understands and agrees which portions of the Procedures may not be implemented on behalf of the Trust. Without limitation of the foregoing, USBGFS shall not be responsible for providing anti-money laundering or customer identification services with respect to certain intermediary or dealer-controlled customer accounts (i.e., level 0 sub- accounts through the Fund/SERV system operated by the national Securities Clearing Corporation) and other fund client relationships where there is a sub-transfer agency or similar arrangement between the Trust and the intermediary.

USBGFS agrees to provide to the Trust:

(a)

Prompt written notification of any transaction or combination of transactions that USBGFS believes, based on the Procedures, evidence money laundering or identity theft activities in connection with the Trust or any shareholder of the Trust;

(b)

Prompt written notification of any shareholder(s) that USBGFS reasonably believes, based upon the Procedures, to be engaged in money laundering

or identity theft activities, provided that the Trust agrees not to communicate this information to the shareholder;

(c)

Any reports received by USBGFS from any government agency or applicable industry self-regulatory organization pertaining to the Procedures;

(d)

Prompt written notification of any action taken in response to anti-money laundering violations or identity theft activity as described in (a), (b) or (c); and

(e)

Certified annual and quarterly reports of its monitoring and customer identification activities on behalf of the Trust.

The Trust hereby directs, and USBGFS acknowledges, that USBGFS shall (i) permit federal regulators access to such information and records maintained by USBGFS and relating to USBGFS’ implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Trust, as they may request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect USBGFS’ implementation of the Procedures on behalf of the Trust.

5. Compensation

USBGFS shall be compensated for providing the services set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the fee schedule set forth on Exhibit B hereto (as amended from time to time). USBGFS shall also be reimbursed for such reasonable and documented miscellaneous expenses set forth in Exhibit B hereto as are reasonably incurred by USBGFS in performing its duties hereunder. The Trust shall pay all such fees and reimbursable expenses within 30 calendar days following receipt of the billing notice, except for any fee or expense subject to a good faith dispute. The Trust shall notify USBGFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Trust is disputing any amounts in good faith. The Trust shall pay such disputed amounts within

10 calendar days of the day on which the parties agree to the amount to be paid. With the exception of any fee or expense the Trust is disputing in good faith as set forth above, unpaid invoices shall accrue a finance charge of 1½% per month after the due date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, amounts owed by the Trust to USBGFS shall only be paid out of the assets and property of the particular Fund involved.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if USBGFS has acted in accordance with its Standard of Care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the applicable Fund, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless USBGFS and its affiliates and suppliers from and against any and all actual claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that USBGFS or its affiliates and suppliers may actually sustain or incur or that may be asserted against USBGFS or its affiliates and suppliers by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in performing the services hereunder (i) in accordance with the foregoing Standard of Care, or (ii) in reasonable reliance upon any written or oral instruction provided to USBGFS by any duly authorized officer of the Trust; except for any and all actual claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities arising out of or relating to (i) USBGFS’ breach, refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement (other than where such compliance would violate applicable law), or (ii) USBGFS’ failure to adhere to the Standard of Care. USBGFS shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate any losses, expenses or liabilities it may suffer. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of the Trust, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, provided that a Fund’s continuing obligations to indemnify USBGFS after the termination of this Agreement shall relate solely to those claims, demands, losses, expenses and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) sustained in connection with USBGFS’ provision of services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, the term “USBGFS” shall include USBGFS’ directors, officers and employees. USBGFS shall endeavor to provide the Fund such reasonable estimates, including reasonable estimates related to amounts incurred for services provided hereunder, in connection with claims for which USBGFS seeks indemnity from the Fund.

USBGFS shall indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that the Trust may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against the Trust by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by USBGFS as a result of USBGFS’ refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or from USBGFS’ bad faith, negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of USBGFS, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, the term “Trust” shall include the Trust’s trustees, officers and employees.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, USBGFS agrees to indemnify the Trust with respect to any and all claims arising out of or related to occurrences that USBGFS is required to insure against pursuant to Section 22 of this Agreement or applicable law.

In no case shall either party be liable to the other for (i) any special, indirect or consequential damages, loss of profits or goodwill (even if advised of the possibility of such); or (ii) any delay by reason of circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, mechanical breakdown, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots, or failure beyond its reasonable control

of transportation or power supply.

In the event of a mechanical breakdown or failure of communication or power supplies beyond its reasonable control, USBGFS shall take all reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions for any period that such interruption continues. USBGFS will make every reasonable effort to restore any lost or damaged data and correct any errors resulting from such a breakdown at the expense of USBGFS. USBGFS agrees that it shall, at all times, have reasonable business continuity and disaster contingency plans with appropriate parties, making reasonable provision for emergency use of electrical data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. Representatives of the Trust shall be entitled to inspect USBGFS’ premises and operating capabilities at any time during regular business hours of USBGFS, upon reasonable notice to USBGFS. Moreover, USBGFS shall provide the Trust, at such times as the Trust may reasonably require, copies of reports rendered by independent accountants on the internal controls and procedures of USBGFS relating to the services provided by USBGFS under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, USBGFS reserves the right to reprocess and correct administrative errors at its own expense, provided that USBGFS shall provide prompt written notice to the Fund of any such action.

B. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this section shall apply, it is understood that if in any case the indemnitor may be asked to indemnify or hold the indemnitee harmless, the indemnitor shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the indemnitee will use all reasonable care to notify the indemnitor promptly concerning any situation that presents

or appears likely to present the probability of a claim for indemnification. The indemnitor shall have the option to defend the indemnitee against any claim that may be the subject of this indemnification. In the event that the indemnitor so elects, it will so notify the indemnitee and thereupon the indemnitor shall take over complete defense of the claim, and the indemnitee shall in such situation initiate no further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek indemnification under this section. The indemnitee shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the indemnitor will be asked to indemnify the indemnitee except with the indemnitor’s prior written consent.

C. The indemnity and defense provisions set forth in this Section 7 shall indefinitely survive the termination and/or assignment of this Agreement, provided that a Fund’s continuing obligations to indemnify USBGFS after the termination of this Agreement shall relate to solely those claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) sustained in connection with USBGFS’ provision of services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement.

D. If USBGFS is acting in another capacity for the Trust pursuant to a separate agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve USBGFS of any of its obligations in such other capacity.

continue following the termination.

13. Term of Agreement; Amendment

This Agreement shall become effective as of the last date written on the signature page and will continue in effect for a period of three (3) years. Following the initial term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year

terms unless either party provides written notice at least 60 days prior to the end of the then current term that it will not be renewing the Agreement.

Subject to Section 14, as applicable, this Agreement may be terminated by either party (in whole or with respect to one or more Funds) upon giving 60 days’ prior written notice to the other party or such shorter notice period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties.

USBGFS may terminate this Agreement immediately (in whole or with respect to one or more Funds) if the continued service of such Funds or the Trust would cause USBGFS or any of its affiliates to be in violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or order of any governmental, regulatory or judicial authority of competent jurisdiction, or if the Funds or the Trust (or any affiliate thereof) commits any act, or becomes involved in any situation or occurrence, tending to bring itself into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule, or such that continued association with the Funds or the Trust would reflect unfavorably upon USBGFS’ reputation, provided that in such event USBGFS shall, to the extent it

In addition, the Trust may, at any time, immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for USBGFS, or any of its affiliates, by an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction.

This Agreement may be terminated by any party upon the breach of the other party of any material term of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within 15 days of notice of such breach to the breaching party.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by written agreement executed by USBGFS and the Trust, and authorized or approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

14. Early Termination

In the absence of any material breach of this Agreement, should the Trust elect to terminate this Agreement (in whole or with respect to one or more Funds) prior to the end of the initial three year term, the Trust agrees to pay the following fees with respect to each Fund subject to the termination:

a. all monthly fees through the remaining term of the Agreement;

b. all fees associated with converting services to successor service provider;

c. all fees associated with any record retention and/or tax reporting obligations that may not be eliminated due to the conversion to a successor service provider;

d. all reasonable and documented miscellaneous costs associated with a-c above.

Provided however, that this Section 14 shall not apply to a termination with respect to a Fund that is (i) liquidated; (ii) merged into, or subject to an asset acquisition by, another registered investment company where the Fund is not the survivor of such transaction; or (iii) terminated as a result of, or in connection with, a change in control of the Fund’s investment adviser.

15. Assignment

This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by the Trust without the written consent of USBGFS, or by USBGFS without the written consent of the Trust accompanied by the authorization or approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

16. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and 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 Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

17. No Agency Relationship

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or empower either party to act as agent for the other party to this Agreement, or to conduct business in the name, or for the account, of the other party to this Agreement.

18. Services Not Exclusive

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict USBGFS from providing services to other parties that are similar or identical to some or all of the services provided hereunder.

19. Invalidity

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. In such case, the parties shall in good faith modify or substitute such provision consistent with

the original intent of the parties.

20. Notices

Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given on the date delivered personally or by courier service, or three days after sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or on the date sent and confirmed received by facsimile transmission to the other party’s address set forth below:

21. Multiple Originals

This Agreement may be executed on two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

22. Insurance

USBGFS shall maintain a fidelity bond covering larceny and embezzlement, an insurance policy with respect to directors and officers errors and omissions coverage and electronic data processing insurance coverage, in amounts that are appropriate in light of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. Upon the request of the Trust, USBGFS shall provide evidence that coverage is in place. USBGFS shall notify the Trust should its insurance coverage with respect to professional liability or errors and omissions coverage be reduced or canceled. Such notification shall include the date of cancellation or reduction and the reasons therefore. USBGFS shall notify the Trust promptly of any material claims against it with respect to services performed under this Agreement, whether or not they may be covered by insurance, and shall notify the Trust promptly should the total outstanding claims made by USBGFS under its insurance coverage materially impair, or threaten to materially impair, the adequacy of its coverage.

23. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with any exhibits, attachments, appendices or schedules expressly referenced herein, sets forth the sole and complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating thereto, whether written or oral, between the parties.

24. Trust Limitations

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any amounts

owed or liabilities incurred by a Fund, shall be satisfied solely from the assets of the Fund and not any other entity or person (such as the Trustees, officers or shareholders, or other series of the Trust). In no event shall USBGFS or any of its affiliates have recourse, whether by set-off or otherwise, with respect to any such amounts owed or liabilities incurred, to or against (i) any other series of the Trust other than the applicable Fund to which such obligations relate, (ii) any assets of any person or entity under the management of the investment adviser of the Fund or (iii) any assets of the investment adviser of the Fund or any affiliate of such investment adviser. Neither the Trust and nor any of its series, other than the Fund, are obligated to make contributions, loans or otherwise provide funding to the Fund. (SIGNATURES ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE)
