Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if USBFS has exercised reasonable care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless USBFS from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which USBFS may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against USBFS by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in performing the services hereunder, except for any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities arising out of or relating to USBFS’ refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from bad faith, negligence or from willful misconduct on its part in performance of its duties under this Agreement, (i) in accordance with the foregoing standards, or (ii) in reliance upon any written or oral instruction provided to USBFS by any duly authorized officer of the Corporation, such duly authorized officer to be included in a list of authorized officers furnished to USBFS and as amended from time to time in writing by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

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.

7.        Proprietary and Confidential Information

USBFS agrees on behalf of itself and its directors, officers, and employees to treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Corporation and the Funds all records and other information relative to the Corporation and the Funds and prior, present, or potential shareholders of the Corporation and the Funds (and clients of said shareholders), and not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where USBFS may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Corporation.

8.        Anti-Money Laundering Program

The Corporation acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review, consider and comment upon the procedures provided by USBFS describing various tools designed to promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activity by monitoring certain aspects of shareholder activity (the “Monitoring Procedures”) as well as written procedures for verifying a customer’s identity (the “Customer Identification Procedures”), together referred to as the “Procedures,” and the Corporation has determined that the Procedures, as part of the Corporation’s overall anti-money laundering program, are reasonably designed to prevent each Fund from being used for money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities and to achieve compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act and the implementing regulations thereunder.

Based on this determination, the Corporation hereby instructs and directs USBFS to implement the Procedures on the Corporation’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 the parties as additional regulations are adopted and/or regulatory guidance is provided relating to the Corporation’s anti-money laundering responsibilities.

USBFS agrees to provide to the Corporation:

(a) Prompt written notification of any transaction or combination of transactions that USBFS believes, based on the Procedures, evidence money laundering activity in connection with the Corporation or any shareholder of a Fund;

(b) Prompt written notification of any customer(s) that USBFS reasonably believes, based upon the Procedures, to be engaged in money laundering activity, provided that the Corporation agrees not to communicate this information to the customer unless otherwise required by applicable law;

(c) Any reports received by USBFS from any government agency or applicable industry self-regulatory organization pertaining to USBFS’ anti-money laundering monitoring on behalf of the Corporation;

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

(e) A certified annual report of its Monitoring Procedures and Customer Identification Procedures on behalf of the Corporation. USBFS shall provide such other reports on the Monitoring Procedures and Customer Identification Procedures conducted at the direction of the Corporation as may be agreed to from time to time by USBFS and the Corporation; and

(f) Such other certifications and representations regarding USBFS’ Monitoring Procedures and Customer Identification Procedures as the Corporation may reasonably request.

7

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

9.        Term of Agreement; Amendment

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in effect for a period of two years.

11.      Records

USBFS shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder in the form and manner, and for such period, as it may deem advisable and is agreeable to the Corporation, but not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of appropriate government authorities, in particular, Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.
