Funds detailed in Schedule B.

The Trust shall establish and maintain such bank accounts with such
bank or banks ("Cash Management Bank(s)") as are selected by the Trust, as are
necessary in order that Integrated may perform the services required to be

charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liability arising out of or
attributable to any error, omission, inaccuracy or other deficiency of the
Materials, or out of the failure of the Trust to provide any portion of the
Materials or to provide any information in the Trust's possession or control
reasonably needed by Integrated to perform the services described in this
Agreement.
GENERAL
8. RECORD RETENTION AND RETURN
A. Integrated shall keep and maintain on behalf of the Trust all
books and records, necessary to Integrated's performing its responsibilities
under this Agreement, which the Trust is, or may be, required to keep and
maintain 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
the same may be amended from time to time, pertaining to the various functions
performed by it and not otherwise created and maintained by another party
pursuant to contract with the Trust. Where applicable, such records shall be
maintained by Integrated for the periods and in the places required by Rules
31a-1 and 31a-2 under the 1940 Act. The retention of such records shall be at
the expense of the Trust. All such records shall be the property of the Trust at
all times and shall be available during regular business hours for reasonable
audit and inspection by the Trust or its agents, or any regulatory agency having
authority over the Trust.
3
B. Integrated may at its option at any time, and shall promptly
upon the Trust's demand, turn over to the Trust and cease to retain the Trust's
files, records and documents created and maintained by Integrated pursuant to
this Agreement which are no longer needed by Integrated in the performance of
its services or for its legal protection. If not so turned over to the Trust,
such documents and records will be retained by Integrated for six years from the
year of creation. At the end of the six-year period, such records and documents
will be turned over to the Trust unless the Trust authorizes in writing the
destruction of such records and documents.
9. DATA ACCESS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
The Trust acknowledges that the data bases, computer programs,
screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, and documentation
manuals furnished to the Trust by Integrated as part of the Trust's ability to
access certain Trust-related data ("Customer Data") maintained by Integrated on
data bases under the control and ownership of Integrated or another third party
("Data Access Services") constitute copyrighted, trade secret, or other
proprietary information (collectively, "Proprietary Information") of substantial
value to Integrated or other third party. In no event shall Proprietary
Information be deemed Customer Data. The Trust agrees to treat all Proprietary
Information as proprietary to Integrated and further agrees that it shall not
divulge any Proprietary Information to any person or organization except as may
be provided hereunder.
10. COOPERATION WITH ACCOUNTANTS.
Integrated shall cooperate with the Trust's independent public
accountants and shall take all reasonable action in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement to assure that the necessary information is
made available to such accountants for the expression of their unqualified
opinion where required for any document for the Trust.
11. SPECIAL SERVICES AND REPORTS AND EXCEPTION PROCESSING.
A. Integrated may provide special services and reports with
respect to the Trust, subject to an additional charge as detailed in Schedule C,
or such other services and reports as may be reasonably requested by the Trust
or the Trust's investment adviser, which may result in an additional charge, the
amount of which shall be agreed upon between the parties. Integrated is, as of
the date of this Agreement, still developing and implementing the services
designated as "i-online reporting" in Addendum 1; Integrated will make available
to the Trust the i-online services at such time as those services are placed
into full operation.
B. Integrated may provide exception processing upon the request
of the Trust or the Trust's investment adviser, which may result in an
additional charge, the amount of which shall be agreed upon between the parties.
Exception processing includes, but is not limited to, processing which:
(a) requires Integrated to use methods and procedures other
than those usually employed by Integrated to perform its obligations under this
Agreement;
4
(b) involves the provision of information to Integrated
after the commencement of the nightly processing cycle of Integrated's transfer
agency, administration and/or fund accounting processing system; or
(c) requires more manual intervention by Integrated, either
in the entry of data or in the modification or amendment of reports generated by
Integrated's transfer agency, administration and/or fund accounting processing
system than is usually required.
12. FURTHER ACTIONS.
Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such
further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.
13. SUBCONTRACTING.
Integrated may, at its expense, and, upon prior written approval
from the Trust, subcontract with any entity or person concerning the provision
of the services contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that Integrated shall
not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by the
appointment of such subcontractor and provided further, that Integrated shall be
responsible for all acts of such subcontractor as if such acts were its own.
14. COMPENSATION.
For performing its services under this Agreement, the Trust shall
pay Integrated a monthly fee with respect to each Fund in accordance with the
schedule attached hereto as Schedule D.
15. EXPENSES.
A. Integrated shall furnish, at its expense and without cost to
the Trust, the services of its personnel to the extent that such services are
required to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. All costs and
expenses not expressly assumed by Integrated under this Paragraph shall be paid
by the Trust, including, but not limited to, costs and expenses of meetings of
the Board of Trustees and shareholders of the Trust and portfolio compliance
training, including costs and expenses of officers and employees of Integrated
in attending or conducting such meetings or training, as well as costs and

provided under this Agreement. Postage for mailings of dividends, proxies,
reports and other mailings to all shareholders shall be advanced to Integrated
three business days prior to the mailing date of such materials.
B. The Trust authorizes Integrated to receive payment of fees due
to Integrated or to be reimbursed for Fund expenses Integrated pays on behalf of
the Fund directly from the Fund. Integrated will provide the Trust with
documentation detailing such fees or expenses within a reasonable time
corresponding to the payment of the fees or expenses. However, Trust approval
shall not be required in advance of such payments. In the event of a dispute
arising from the payment of fees or expenses and upon mutual agreement by the
Trust and Integrated as to the appropriate resolution of the dispute, the Trust
and/or Integrated shall make the necessary reimbursements to the Fund.

requiring approval to Integrated in draft form, allowing sufficient time for
review by Integrated and its counsel prior to any deadline for printing.
B. Integrated shall not circulate any printed matter that
contains any reference to the Trust without the prior written approval of the
Trust, excepting solely such printed matter as merely identifies the Trust as a
client of Integrated. Integrated will submit printed matter requiring approval
to the Trust in draft form, allowing sufficient time for review by the Trust and
its counsel prior to any deadline for printing.
17. EQUIPMENT FAILURES.
In the event of equipment failures beyond Integrated's control,
Integrated shall take all steps necessary to minimize service interruptions but
shall have no liability with respect thereto. Integrated shall endeavor to enter
into one or more agreements making provision for emergency use of electronic
data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available.
18. INDEMNIFICATION OF INTEGRATED.
A. Integrated may rely on information reasonably believed by it
to be accurate and reliable. Except as may otherwise be required by the 1940 Act
and the rules thereunder, neither Integrated nor its directors, officers,
employees, shareholders, agents, control persons or affiliates of any thereof
shall be subject to any liability for, or any damages, including consequential
damages, expenses or losses incurred by the Trust in connection with, any error
of judgment, mistake of law, any act or omission connected with or arising out
of any services
6
rendered under or payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any other matter
to which this Agreement relates, except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on the part of any such persons in the performance of
the duties of Integrated under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard
by any of such persons of the obligations and duties of Integrated under this
Agreement. Integrated may apply to the Trust at any time for instructions and
may consult counsel for the Trust, or its own counsel, and with accountants and
other experts with respect to any matter arising in connection with its duties
hereunder, and Integrated shall not be liable or accountable for any action
taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instruction, or
with the opinion of such counsel, accountants, or other experts. Integrated
shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any officers,
employees, or agents of the Trust until receipt of written notice thereof have
been received by Integrated from the Trust.
B. Any person, even though also a director, officer, employee,
shareholder or agent of Integrated, or any of its affiliates, who may be or
become an officer, trustee, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed,
when rendering services to the Trust or acting on any business of the Trust, to
be rendering such services to or acting solely as an officer, trustee, employee
or agent of the Trust and not as a director, officer, employee, shareholder or
agent of or one under the control or direction of Integrated or any of its
affiliates, even though paid by one of these entities.
C. In providing services pursuant to this Agreement, no person
who is a director, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Integrated, or its
affiliates, even though also an officer, trustee, employee or agent of the Trust
shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or acting on any business
of the Trust, to be rendering such services or acting as the principal executive
officer or principal financial officer of the Trust, nor shall any such persons
be considered as providing similar functions to the Trust. Nor shall any
director, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Integrated, or its
affiliates, even though also an officer, trustee, employee or agent of the
Trust, have the authority to certify any reports or filings as principal
executive officer or principal financial officer of the Trust on behalf of the
Trust to the SEC or any other administrative or regulatory body, whether
governmental or private, including but not limited to, certification of Form
N-CSR.
D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless Integrated, its directors, officers,
employees, shareholders, agents, control persons and affiliates of any thereof
from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, suits, actions, demands,
expenses and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact or law),
including legal fees and expenses and investigation expenses, of any and every
nature which Integrated may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against
Integrated by any person by reason of, or as a result of: (i) any action taken
or omitted to be taken by Integrated in good faith in reliance upon any
certificate, instrument, order or share certificate believed by it to be genuine
and to be signed, countersigned or executed by any duly authorized person, upon
the oral instructions or written instructions of an authorized person of the
Trust or upon the opinion of legal counsel for the Trust or its own counsel; or
(ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Integrated in connection with
its appointment in good faith in reliance upon any law, act, regulation or
interpretation of the same even though the same may thereafter have been
altered, changed, amended or repealed. However, indemnification under this
subparagraph shall not
7
apply to actions or omissions of Integrated or its directors, officers,
employees, shareholders or agents in cases of its or their own gross negligence,
willful misconduct, bad faith, or reckless disregard of its or their own duties
hereunder.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in
no event shall Integrated be liable to the Trust or any third party for any
special, consequential, punitive or incidental damages, even if advised of the
possibility of such damages.
19. TERMINATION
A. The provisions of this Agreement shall be effective on the
date first above written, shall continue in effect for three years ("Initial
Term") from that date and shall continue in force for one year thereafter
("Renewal Term"), but only so long as such continuance is approved (1) by
Integrated, (2) the Trust, (3) by a vote of a majority of the Trust's Trustees
who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the
0000 Xxx) of any such party, and (4) by vote of a majority of the Trust's Board
of Trustees or a majority of the Trust's outstanding voting securities.
B. Any party may terminate this Agreement at the end of the
Initial Term or at the end of any subsequent Renewal Term by giving the other
parties at least one hundred eighty (180) days' prior written notice of such
termination specifying the date fixed therefore. In the event this Agreement is
terminated by the Trust prior to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent
Renewal Term, the Trust shall make a one-time cash payment to Integrated in
consideration of services provided under this Agreement, and not as a penalty,
equal to the remaining balance of the fees payable to Integrated under this
Agreement through the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.
The Trust shall likewise reimburse Integrated for any out-of-pocket expenses and
disbursements ("out-of-pocket expenses") reasonably incurred by Integrated in
connection with the services provided under this Agreement within 30 days of
notification to the Trust of such out-of-pocket expenses regardless of whether
such out-of-pocket expenses were incurred before or after the termination of
this Agreement. By way of example, and not of limitation, an action that would
not constitute a termination of this Agreement, and therefore not be subject to
this Section 19.B., would include the merger of one Fund of the Trust into
another Fund of the Trust or the termination and liquidation of a Fund in the
ordinary course of business.
C. If a party materially fails to perform its duties and
obligations hereunder (a "Defaulting Party") resulting in a material loss to
another party or parties, such other party or parties (the "Non-Defaulting
Party") may give written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party, which such
notice shall set forth with sufficient detail the nature of the breach. The
Defaulting Party shall have ninety (90) days from its receipt of notice to cure
the breach. If such material breach shall not have been remedied to commercially
reasonable operating standards, the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this
Agreement by giving sixty (60) days written notice of such termination to the
Defaulting Party. If Integrated is the Non-Defaulting Party, its termination of
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies with
respect to services it performed prior to such termination, or the right of
Integrated to receive such compensation as may be due as of the date of
termination or to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket
8
expenses. In all cases, termination by the Non-Defaulting Party shall not
constitute a waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of any other rights it might
have under this Agreement or otherwise against a Defaulting Party.
D. In the case of the following transactions, not in the ordinary
course of business, namely, the merger of the Trust, or a Fund, into or the
consolidation of the Trust, or a Fund, with another non-affiliated investment
company, the sale by the Trust, or a Fund, of all, or substantially all, of its
assets to another investment company, or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Trust, or a Fund, and distribution of its assets, or any similar transaction
involving the Trust or a Fund, this Agreement will terminate with respect to the
applicable Fund or Funds and Integrated shall be released from any and all
obligations hereunder upon the payment of the fees, disbursements and expenses
due to Integrated through the end of the then current term of this Agreement. By
way of example, and not of limitation, a transaction in the ordinary course of
business, and therefore not subject to this Section 19.D., would include the
merger of one Fund of the Trust into another Fund of the Trust. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the damages provision set forth above in paragraph B
shall be applicable in those instances in which Integrated is not retained to
provide financial administration, accounting, or transfer agency services
subsequent to the transactions listed above.
E. Integrated will be entitled to collect from the Trust all
reasonable expenses incurred in conjunction with termination of this Agreement,
including but not limited to out-of-pocket expenses, employee time, system fees
and fees charged by third parties with whom Integrated has contracted.
20. SERVICES FOR OTHERS.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Integrated or any affiliated
person (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of Integrated from providing services for
any other person, firm or corporation (including other investment companies);
provided, however, that Integrated expressly represents that it will undertake
no activities which, in its judgment, will adversely affect the performance of
its obligations to the Trust under this Agreement.
21. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing contained
herein shall be construed to require Integrated to perform any services for the
Trust which services could cause Integrated to be deemed an "investment adviser"
of the Trust within the meaning of Section 2(a)(20) of the 1940 Act or to
supersede or contravene the Trust's prospectus or statement of additional
information or any provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for the accuracy of
information furnished to it by Integrated, the Trust assumes full responsibility
for complying with all applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and any other laws, rules and regulations of
governmental authorities having jurisdiction.
9
22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trust hereunder
shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers,
agents or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property
of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized
by the Trustees of the Trust and signed by an officer of the Trust, acting as
such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and
delivery by such officer shall 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 trust property of the Trust.
23. SEVERABILITY.
In the event any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
void or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the remainder of this
Agreement, which shall continue to be in force.
24. QUESTIONS OF INTERPRETATION.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Ohio. Any question of interpretation of any term or
provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a
term or provision of the 1940 Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or
provision of the 1940 Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United
States Courts or in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court,
by rules, regulations or orders of the SEC issued pursuant to said 1940 Act. In
addition, where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act, reflected in any
provision of this Agreement, is revised by rule, regulation or order of the SEC,
such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule,
regulation or order.
25. CONFIDENTIALITY
A. Both parties hereto agree that any nonpublic information
obtained hereunder concerning the other party is confidential and may not be
disclosed without the consent of the other party, except as may be required by
applicable law or at the request of a governmental agency. The parties further
agree that a breach of this provision would irreparably damage the other party
and accordingly agree that each of them is entitled, in addition to all other
remedies at law or in equity to an injunction or injunctions without bond or
other security to prevent breaches of this provision.
B. Both parties hereto agree that nonpublic personal shareholder
information shall remain the sole property of the Trust. Such information shall
not be disclosed or used for any purpose except in connection with the
performance of the duties and responsibilities described herein or as required
or permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. The parties agree to comply with any and all
regulations promulgated by the SEC or other applicable laws regarding the
confidentiality of shareholder information.
