ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

     This ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT is made as of this 10th day of December, 2007 (the “Agreement”) between Diamond Portfolio Investment Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Commonwealth Fund Accounting, Inc. (“CFA”), a corporation duly organized as a corporation in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, the Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), consisting of one or more series portfolios (the “Funds”), each of which may consist of one or more classes of shares of beneficial interest;

     WHEREAS, the Trust desires to appoint CFA as its Accounting Services Agent to maintain and keep current the books, accounts, records, journals or other records of original entry relating to the business of the Trust as set forth in Schedule B of this Agreement (the “Accounts and Records”) and to perform certain other functions in connection with such Accounts and Records; and

     WHEREAS, CFA is willing to perform such functions upon the terms and conditions herein set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1.		Appointment. The Trust hereby appoints CFA as its Accounting Services Agent on behalf of the Trust, and CFA hereby accepts such appointment, to furnish the Funds listed on Schedule A, as such schedule may be amended from time to time, with accounting services as set forth in this Agreement.
Section 2.		Duties. CFA shall perform or supervise the performance of others of the services set forth in Schedule B hereto. CFA shall provide the Trust with all necessary office space, equipment, personnel, facilities and compensation for providing such services. CFA may, at its expense and, upon at least 60 days’ advance written notice to the Trust, subcontract with any entity or person concerning the provision of the services contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that CFA shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by the appointment of such subcontractor and provided further, that (i) CFA shall be responsible, to the extent provided in Section 12 hereof, for all acts of such subcontractor as if such acts were its own, and (ii) the subcontractor shall be held, by contract, to standards no less onerous than those contained in this Agreement.

Except with respect to CFA’s duties as set forth in this Agreement, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trust assumes all responsibility for ensuring that each Fund complies with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the 1940 Act and any other laws, rules and regulations, or interpretations thereof, of governmental authorities with jurisdiction over each Fund.

Section 3.		Compensation and Expenses. The Trust agrees to pay CFA compensation for its services as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto, or as shall be set forth in amendments to such schedule approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) and CFA. Fees will begin to accrue for each Fund on the latter of the date of this Agreement or the date of commencement of operations of the applicable Fund. If fees begin to accrue in the middle of a month or if this Agreement terminates before the end of any month, all fees for the period from that date to the end of that month or from the beginning of that month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion that the period bears to the full month in which the effectiveness or termination occurs. Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, the Fund shall pay to CFA such compensation as shall be payable prior to the effective date of termination.
		In addition, the Trust shall reimburse CFA from the assets of each Fund certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CFA on behalf of each Fund individually in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Such out-of-pocket expenses shall include, but not be limited to: documented fees and costs of obtaining advice of Fund counsel or accountants in connection with its services to each Fund; postage; long distance telephone; special forms required by each Fund; any travel which may be required in the performance of its duties to each Fund; and any other extraordinary expenses it may reasonably and actually incur in connection with its services to each Fund.
		All fees and reimbursements are payable in arrears on a monthly basis and the Trust, on behalf of the applicable Fund, agrees to pay all fees and reimbursable expenses within five (5) business days following receipt of the respective billing notice.
Section 4.		Trust Reports to CFA. The Trust shall furnish or otherwise make available to CFA such copies of each Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information, financial statements, proxy statements, shareholder reports, each Fund’s net asset value per share, declaration, record and payment dates, amounts of any dividends or income, special actions relating to each Fund’s securities and other information relating to the Trust’s business and affairs as CFA may, at any time or from time to time, reasonably require in order to discharge its obligations under this Agreement. CFA shall maintain such information as required by regulation and as agreed upon between the Trust and CFA. The Trust will complete all

		necessary prospectus and compliance reports, as well as monitoring the various limitations and restrictions.
Section 5.		Foreign currencies. All financial data provided to, processed by, and reported by CFA under this Agreement shall be stated in United States dollars or currency. CFA shall have no obligation to convert to, equate, or deal in foreign currencies or values, and expressly assumes no liability for any currency conversion or equation computations relating to the affairs of the Trust.
Section 6.		Maintenance of Records. CFA shall create and maintain all records required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to records required by Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, as they may be amended from time to time, pertaining to the various functions CFA performs under this Agreement and which are not otherwise created or maintained by another party pursuant to contract with the Trust. All such records shall be the property of the Trust and will be preserved, maintained and made available in accordance with Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, and will be surrendered promptly to the Fund on and in accordance with the Trust’s request. The Trust and the Trust’s authorized representatives shall have access to CFA’s records relating to the services to be performed under this Agreement at all times during CFA’s normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Trust, copies of any such records shall be provided promptly by CFA to the Trust or the Trust’s authorized representatives.
Section 7.		Reliance on Trust Instructions and Experts. CFA may rely upon the written advice of the Trust and upon statements of the Trust’s legal counsel, accountants and other persons believed by it in good faith to be expert in matters upon which they are consulted, and CFA shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith upon such statements.
Section 8.		Standard of Care. CFA shall be under no duty to take any action on behalf of a Fund except as necessary to fulfill its duties and obligations as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by CFA in writing. CFA shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement, but assumes no responsibility for any loss arising out of any act or omission in carrying out its duties hereunder, except a loss resulting from CFA’s, its employees’ or its agents’ willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of CFA’s duties under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of CFA’s, its employees’ or its agents’ obligations and duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation on CFA’s liability shall not apply to the extent any loss or damage results from any fraud committed by CFA or any intentionally bad or malicious acts (that is, acts or breaches undertaken purposefully under circumstances in which the person acting knows or has reason to believe that such act or breach violates such person’s obligations under this Agreement or can cause danger or harm) of CFA.

Section 9.		Limitation of Liability Regarding CFA. CFA shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon any authorized written instructions or any other document reasonably believed by CFA to be genuine and to have been executed or signed by the proper person or persons. CFA shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any officer, employee or agent of the Trust until receipt of notification thereof by the Trust.
		CFA shall not be liable for the errors of other service providers of the Trust, including the errors of pricing services (other than to pursue all reasonable claims against the pricing service based on the pricing services’ standard contracts entered into by CFA) and errors in information provided by an investment adviser (including prices and pricing formulas and the untimely transmission of trade information), custodian or transfer agent to the Trust.
		With respect to a Fund that does not value its assets in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act (a money market fund), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, CFA shall not be liable to the Trust or any shareholder of the Trust for (i) any loss to the Trust if a NAV Difference for which CFA would otherwise be liable under this Agreement is less than $0.01 per Fund share or (ii) any loss to a shareholder of the Trust if the NAV Difference for which CFA would otherwise be liable under this Agreement is less than or equal to 0.005 (1/2 of 1%) or if the loss in the shareholder’s account with the Trust is less than or equal to $10. Any loss for which CFA is determined to be liable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of gain which inures to shareholders, whether to be collected by the Trust or not.
		For purposes of this Agreement: (i) the NAV Difference shall mean the difference between the NAV at which a shareholder purchase or redemption should have been effected (“Recalculated NAV”) and the NAV at which the purchase or redemption is effected; (ii) NAV Differences and any CFA or other responsible party liability therefrom are to be calculated each time a Fund’s (or class’s) NAV is calculated; (iii) in calculating any NAV Difference for which CFA would otherwise be liable under this Agreement for a particular NAV error, Fund losses and gains shall be netted; and (iv) in calculating any NAV Difference for which

Section 10.		Limited Recourse. CFA hereby acknowledges that the Funds’ obligations hereunder with respect to the Shares are binding only on the assets and property belonging to the Funds. The obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Funds personally, but shall bind only the property of the Funds. The execution and delivery of this agreement by such officers shall not be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the Funds’ property.
		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties agree that the assets and liabilities of each Fund of the Trust are separate and distinct from the assets and liabilities of each other Fund and that no Fund shall be liable or shall be charged for any debt, obligation or liability of any other Fund, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 11.		Indemnification by the Funds. Each Fund shall indemnify CFA and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by CFA that result from: (i) any claim, action, suit or proceeding in connection with CFA’s entry into or performance of this Agreement with respect to such Fund; or (ii) any action taken or omission to act committed by CFA in the performance of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Fund; or (iii) any action of CFA upon instructions believed in good faith by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer or representative of the Trust with respect to such Fund; or (iv) any error, omission, inaccuracy or other deficiency of any information provided to CFA by the Trust, or the failure of the Trust to provide or make available any information requested by CFA knowledgeably to perform its functions hereunder; PROVIDED, that CFA shall not be entitled to such indemnification (x) in respect of actions or omissions constituting gross negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance in the performance of its duties, or by reckless disregard of such duties, on the part of CFA and (y) to the extent that CFA has collected reimbursement or indemnification for such losses under any liability insurance policy described in this Agreement or otherwise.
		In order that the indemnification provisions contained in Sections 11 shall apply, upon the assertion of an indemnification claim, CFA shall promptly notify the Trust of such assertion, and shall keep the Trust advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The Trust shall have the option to participate with CFA in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or that of CFA. CFA shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Trust may be required to indemnify it

		except with the Trust’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 12.		Indemnification by CFA. CFA shall indemnify each Fund and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by such Fund which result from: (i) CFA’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such Fund; or (ii) CFA’s lack of good faith in performing its obligations hereunder with respect to such Fund; or (iii) gross negligence, or willful misfeasance in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard of such duties or such gross negligence, willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of its employees, agents or contractors in connection herewith with respect to such Fund.

CFA further agrees that all such books and records shall be the property of the Trust and to make originals or copies of such books and records available for inspection by the Trust or by the Securities Exchange Commission at reasonable times.
		CFA agrees on behalf of itself and its employees to treat confidentially all records and other information relative to the Trust and its Shareholders received by CFA in connection with this Agreement, including any non-public personal information as defined in Regulation S-P, and that it shall not use or disclose any such information except for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement; PROVIDED, however, that CFA may disclose such information as required by law or in connection with any requested disclosure to a regulatory authority with appropriate jurisdiction after prior notification to the Trust so that the Trust may seek an appropriate protective order.
		Upon termination of this Agreement, CFA shall return to the Trust all copies of confidential or non-public personal information received from the Trust hereunder, other than materials or information required or permitted to be retained by CFA under applicable laws or regulations.
