SCHEDULE A
TO THE ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF JULY 1, 2004
BETWEEN AMERICAN PERFORMANCE FUNDS
AND
AXIA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC.
(formerly BOK INVESTMENT ADVISERS, INC.)
DATED AS OF JULY 1, 2004
BETWEEN AMERICAN PERFORMANCE FUNDS
AND
AXIA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC.
(formerly BOK INVESTMENT ADVISERS, INC.)
PORTFOLIOS: This Agreement shall apply to all Portfolios of the Trust either now or hereafter
created. The current portfolios of the Trust are set forth below:
U.S. Treasury Fund | Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund | |||
Cash Management Fund | Short-Term Income Fund | |||
Tax-Free Money Market Fund | Balanced Fund | |||
Bond Fund | U.S. Tax-Efficient Large Cap Equity Fund | |||
Intermediate Bond Fund | U.S. Tax-Efficient Mid Cap Equity Fund | |||
U.S. Mid Cap Equity Fund | U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund | |||

(collectively, the “Portfolios”).
FEES: Pursuant to Article 4, in consideration of services rendered and expenses assumed
pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust will pay the Administrator on the first business day of each
month, or at such time(s) as the Administrator shall request and the parties hereto shall agree, a
fee computed daily at the annual rate of:
Twenty one-hundredths of one percent (.20%) of each Portfolio’s average daily net
assets, other than the U.S. Treasury Fund, Cash Management Fund and Tax-Free Money
Market Fund (together, the “Money Market Funds”).
Twelve one-hundredths of one percent (.12%) of the Money Market Fund’s average daily
net assets.
The fee for the period from the day of the month this Agreement is entered into until the end
of that month shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full
monthly period. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of any month, the fee for
such part of a month shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the
full monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement.
For purposes of determining the fees payable to the Administrator, the value of the net assets
of a particular Fund shall be computed in the manner described in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust
or in the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information respecting that Fund as
from time to time is in effect for the computation of the value of such net assets in
connection with the determination of the liquidating value of the shares of such Fund.
The parties hereby confirm that the fees payable hereunder shall be applied to each Portfolio
as a whole, and not to separate classes of shares within the Portfolios.
The fee payable by the Trust hereunder shall be allocated to each Portfolio based upon its pro
rata share of the total fee payable hereunder. Such fee as is attributable to each Portfolio shall
be a separate (and not joint or joint and several) obligation of each such Portfolio. The
Administrator may agree, from time to time, to waive any fees payable under this Agreement. Such
waiver shall be at the Administrator’s sole discretion.
TERM: Pursuant to Article 7, the term of this Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2004, and
shall remain in effect until June 30, 2009 (“Initial Term”). Thereafter, unless
otherwise terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for
successive one-year periods (“Rollover Periods”). This Agreement may be terminated without penalty
(i) by provision of a notice of nonrenewal in the manner set forth below, (ii) by mutual agreement
of the parties or (iii) for “cause,” as defined below, upon the provision of 60 days advance
written notice by the party alleging cause. Written notice of nonrenewal must be provided at least
60 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Rollover Period, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall mean (a) a material breach of this Agreement
that has not been remedied for thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach from the
non-breaching party; (b) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling or
order in which the party to be terminated has been found guilty of criminal or unethical behavior
in the conduct of its business; or (c) financial difficulties on the part of the party to be
terminated which are evidenced by the authorization or commencement of, or involvement by way of
pleading, answer, consent or acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the
United States Code, as from time to time is in effect, or any applicable law, other than said Title
11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the
modification or alteration of the rights of creditors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after such termination for so long as the Administrator, with
the written consent of the Trust, in fact continues to perform any one or more of the services
contemplated by this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit hereto, the provisions of this Agreement,
including without limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification, shall continue in full
force and effect. Compensation due the Administrator and unpaid by the Trust upon such termination
shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such termination. The Administrator
shall be entitled to collect from the Trust, in addition to the compensation described in this
Schedule A, the amount of all of the Administrator’s cash disbursements for services in connection
with the Administrator’s activities in effecting such
termination, including without limitation, the delivery to the Trust and/or its designees of the Trust’s property, records, instruments and
documents, or any copies thereof. Subsequent to such termination, for a reasonable fee, the
Administrator will provide the Trust with reasonable access to any Trust documents or records
remaining in its possession.
If, for any reason other than nonrenewal, mutual agreement of the parties or “cause,” as
defined above, the Administrator is replaced as administrator, or if a third party is added to
perform all or a part of the services provided by the Administrator under this Agreement (excluding
any sub-administrator appointed by the Administrator as provided in Article 8 hereof), then the
Trust shall make a one-time cash payment, as liquidated damages, to the Administrator equal to the
balance due the Administrator under this Agreement for the lesser of (A) the next six months of the
Initial Term or (B) the remainder of such Initial Term, assuming for purposes of calculation of the
payment that (i) such balance shall be based upon the average amount of the Trust’s assets for the
twelve months prior to the date the Administrator is replaced or a third party is added and (ii)
such payment shall be based upon the actual fee being charged, which may or may not be lower than
the contractual fee amount.
In the event the Trust is merged into another legal entity in part or in whole pursuant to any
form of business reorganization or is liquidated in part or in whole prior to the expiration of the
then-current term of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages
provision set forth above shall be applicable in those instances in which the Administrator is not
retained to provide administration services. Under such circumstances, the one-time cash payment
referenced above shall be due and payable on the day prior to the first day during which assets are
transferred pursuant to the plan of reorganization or liquidation.
The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event the Administrator ceases to be
retained, as set forth above, (i) a determination of actual damages incurred by the Administrator
would be extremely difficult, and (ii) the liquidated damages provision contained herein is
intended to adequately compensate the Administrator for damages incurred and is not intended to
constitute any form of penalty.
