ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

Exhibit 99.B(28)(h)(1)

ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of November 14, 2008 by and between PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“PNC”), and The Motley Fool Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”).  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A.

BACKGROUND

A. The Fund shall be registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

B. The Fund wishes to retain PNC to provide administration and accounting services to its investment portfolios listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, as such Exhibit A may be amended from time to time (each a “Portfolio”), and PNC wishes to furnish such services.

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

1. Appointment.  The Fund hereby appoints PNC to provide administration and accounting services to each of the Portfolios, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.  PNC accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish such services.  PNC shall be under no duty to take any action hereunder on behalf of the Fund or any Portfolio except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by PNC and the Fund in a written amendment hereto. PNC shall not bear, or otherwise be responsible for, any fees, costs or expenses charged by any third party service providers engaged by the Fund or by any other third party service provider to the Fund.

2. Instructions.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, PNC shall act only upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

(b) PNC shall be entitled to rely upon any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction it receives from an Authorized Person (or from a person reasonably believed by PNC to be an Authorized Person) pursuant to this Agreement.  PNC may assume that any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the provisions of organizational documents or this Agreement or of any vote, resolution or proceeding of the Fund’s Board of Trustees or of the Fund’s shareholders, unless and until PNC receives Written Instructions to the contrary.

(c) The Fund agrees to forward to PNC Written Instructions confirming Oral

1

Instructions (except where such Oral Instructions are given by PNC or its affiliates) so that PNC receives the Written Instructions by the close of business on the same day that such Oral Instructions are received.  The fact that such confirming Written Instructions are not received by PNC or differ from the Oral Instructions shall in no way invalidate the transactions or enforceability of the transactions authorized by the Oral Instructions or PNC’s ability to rely upon such Oral Instructions.

3. Right to Receive Advice.

(a) Advice of the Fund.  If PNC is in doubt as to any action it should or should not take, PNC may request directions or advice, including Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, from the Fund.

(b) Advice of Counsel.  If PNC shall be in doubt as to any question of law pertaining to any action it should or should not take, PNC may request advice from counsel of its own choosing (who may be counsel for the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser or PNC, at the option of PNC).

(c) Conflicting Advice.  In the event of a conflict between directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions PNC receives from the Fund and the advice PNC receives from counsel, PNC may rely upon and follow the advice of counsel.

(d) No Obligation to Seek Advice. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to impose an obligation upon PNC (i) to seek such directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, or (ii) to act in accordance with such directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this Agreement, the same is a condition of PNC’s properly taking or not taking such action.

4. Records; Visits.

(a) The books and records pertaining to the Fund and the Portfolios which are in the possession or under the control of PNC shall be the property of the Fund. The Fund and Authorized Persons shall have access to such books and records at all times during PNC’s normal business hours.  Upon the reasonable request of the Fund, copies of any such books and records shall be provided by PNC to the Fund or to an Authorized Person, at the Fund’s expense.

(b) PNC shall keep the following records:

(i) all books and records with respect to each Portfolio’s books of account;

(ii) records of each Portfolio’s securities transactions; and

8. Disaster Recovery.  PNC shall maintain reasonable procedures for backing up and assuring security of its systems and shall enter into and shall maintain in effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available.  In the event of

3

equipment failures, PNC shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions.  PNC shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or service interruptions caused by equipment failure, provided such loss or interruption is not caused by PNC’s own intentional misconduct, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement.

9. Compensation.

(a) As compensation for services rendered by PNC during the term of this Agreement, the Fund, on behalf of each Portfolio, will pay to PNC a fee or fees as may be agreed to in writing by the Fund and PNC in a fee letter that by its terms relates to this Agreement (the “Fee Letter”).  In addition, the Fund agrees to pay, and will be billed separately in arrears for, reasonable expenses incurred by PNC in the performance of its duties hereunder.

(b) The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to PNC that (i) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the fees and expenses associated with this Agreement, and (iii) any benefits accruing to PNC or to the adviser or sponsor to the Fund in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any fee waivers, conversion cost reimbursements, up front payments, signing payments or periodic payments  made or to be made by PNC to such adviser or sponsor or any affiliate of the Fund relating to this Agreement have been fully disclosed to the Board of Trustees of the Fund and that, if required by applicable law, such Board of Trustees has approved or will approve the terms of this Agreement, any such fees and expenses, and any such benefits.

(c) Notwithstanding the limitation of liability provisions of this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement, the Fund shall remain responsible for paying to PNC the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

10. Standard of Care/Limitation of Liability.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 10, PNC shall be liable to the Fund (or any person or entity claiming through the Fund) for damages only to the extent caused by PNC’s own intentional misconduct, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement (“Standard of Care”).

(b) PNC’s liability to the Fund and any person or entity claiming through the Fund for any loss, claim, suit, controversy, breach or damage of any nature whatsoever (including but not limited to those arising out of or related to this Agreement) and regardless of the form of action or legal theory (“Loss”) shall not exceed the fees received by PNC for services provided hereunder during the fifteen (15) months immediately prior to the date of such Loss.

(c) Subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, PNC shall not be liable for damages (including without limitation damages caused by delays, failure, errors, interruption or loss of data) occurring directly or indirectly by reason of circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God; action or inaction of civil or military authority; national emergencies; public enemy; war; terrorism; riot; fire; flood; catastrophe; sabotage; epidemics;

11. Indemnification. Absent PNC’s failure to meet its Standard of Care (defined in Section 10 above), the Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PNC and its affiliates and their respective directors, trustees, officers, agents and employees from all claims, suits, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to dispute resolution) arising directly or indirectly from: (a) any action or omission to act by any prior service provider of the Fund; and (b) any action taken or omitted to be taken by PNC in connection with the provision of services to the Fund.   This Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

14. Duration and Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall be effective on the date first written above and unless terminated pursuant to its terms shall continue for a period of three (3) years (the “Initial Term”).

7

(b) Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms of 1 year (“Renewal Terms”) each, unless the Fund or PNC provides written notice to the other of its intent not to renew.  Such notice must be received not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term.

(c) In the event of termination, all actual fees and expenses associated with deconversion or conversion to another services provider will be borne by the Fund.

(d) If a party hereto is guilty of a material failure to perform its duties and obligations hereunder (a “Defaulting Party”) the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party, and if such material breach shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after such written notice is given, then the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days written notice of such termination to the Defaulting Party. 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 the Defaulting Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Fund gives notice to PNC terminating it as the provider of any of the services hereunder or if the Fund otherwise terminates this Agreement before the expiration of the then-current Initial or Renewal Term (“Early Termination”):

(i) PNC shall, if requested by the Fund, make commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a conversion to the Fund’s successor service provider; provided that PNC does not guarantee that it will be able to effect a conversion on the date(s) requested by the Fund.

(ii) Except in the event of an Early Termination subsequent to a material breach of this Agreement in which PNC is the Defaulting Party under the terms of Section 14(d), before the effective date of the Early Termination, the Fund shall pay to PNC an amount equal to all fees and other amounts (“Early Termination Fee”) calculated as if PNC were to provide all services hereunder until the expiration of the then-current Initial or Renewal Term.  The Early Termination Fee shall be calculated using the average of the monthly fees and other amounts due to PNC under this Agreement during the last three calendar months before the date of the notice of Early Termination (or if not given the date it should have been given).

(iii) The Fund expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Early Termination Fee is not a penalty but reasonable compensation to PNC for the termination of services before the expiration of the then-current Initial or Renewal Term.

(v) If the Fund gives notice of Early Termination after expiration of the specified notice period to terminate this Agreement in the ordinary course at the

8

end of the then-current Initial or Renewal Term, the references above to “expiration of the then-current Initial or Renewal Term” shall be deemed to mean “expiration of the Renewal Term immediately following the then-current Initial or Renewal Term.”

(vi) If any of the Fund’s assets serviced by PNC under this Agreement are removed from the coverage of this Agreement by the Fund during the Term of the Agreement (“Removed Assets”) and are subsequently serviced by another service provider (including the Fund or an affiliate of the Fund): (i) the Fund will be deemed to have caused an Early Termination with respect to such Removed Assets as of the day immediately preceding the first such removal of assets; and, (ii) at, PNC’s option, either (a) upon written notice given to the Fund by PNC no later than thirty (30) days after the event that constituted such Early Termination, the Fund will also be deemed to have caused an Early Termination with respect to all non-Removed Assets as of a date selected by PNC, or (b) this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to all non-Removed Assets.

15. Notices. Notices shall be addressed (a) if to PNC, at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: President (or such other address as PNC may inform the Fund in writing); (b) if to the Fund, at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: President (or such other address as the Trust may inform PNC in writing) or (c) if to neither of the foregoing, at such other address as shall have been given by like notice to the sender of any such notice or other communication by the other party.  If notice is sent by confirming telegram, cable, telex or facsimile sending device, it shall be deemed to have been given immediately.  If notice is sent by first-class mail, it shall be deemed to have been given three days after it has been mailed.  If notice is sent by messenger, it shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is delivered.

16. Amendments.  This Agreement, or any term thereof, may be changed or waived only by written amendment, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change or waiver is sought.

17. Assignment.  PNC may assign its rights hereunder to any majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of PNC or of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., provided that PNC gives the Fund thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment.

19. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20. Further Actions.  Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

21. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Fund agrees not to make any modifications to its registration statement or adopt any policies which would affect materially the obligations or responsibilities of PNC hereunder without the prior written approval of PNC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The scope of services to be provided by PNC under this Agreement shall not be increased as a result of new or revised regulatory or other requirements that may become applicable to the Fund, unless the parties hereto expressly agree in writing to any such increase.

(b) During the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, the Fund shall not (with the exceptions noted in the immediately succeeding sentence) knowingly solicit or recruit for employment or hire any of PNC’s employees.  To “knowingly” solicit, recruit or hire within the meaning of this provision does not include, and therefore does not prohibit, solicitation, recruitment or hiring of a PNC employee by the Fund if the PNC employee was identified by such entity solely as a result of the PNC employee’s response to a general advertisement by such entity in a publication of trade or industry interest or other similar general solicitation by such entity.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, PNC hereby disclaims all representations and warranties, express or implied, made to the Fund or any other person, including, without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (irrespective of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade), of any services or any goods provided incidental to services provided under this Agreement.  PNC disclaims any warranty of title or non-infringement except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(d) This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, provided that the parties may embody in one or more separate documents their agreement, if any, with respect to delegated duties.  The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, the services of PNC are not, nor shall they be construed as constituting, legal advice or the provision of legal services for or on behalf of the Fund or any other person.  Neither this Agreement nor the provision of services under this Agreement establishes or is intended to establish an attorney-client relationship between Fund and PNC.

(e) The Fund will provide such information and documentation as PNC may reasonably request in connection with services provided by PNC to the Fund.

(f) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made in Delaware and governed by Delaware law, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

(g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and

10

their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as may be explicitly stated in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement is not for the benefit of any other person or entity and (ii) there shall be no third party beneficiaries hereof.

(h) The facsimile signature of any party to this Agreement shall constitute the valid and binding execution hereof by such party.

(i) To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. Federal law requires each financial institution to obtain, verify, and record certain information that identifies each person who initially opens an account with that financial institution on or after October 1, 2003. Certain of PNC’s affiliates are financial institutions, and PNC may, as a matter of policy, request (or may have already requested) the Fund’s name, address and taxpayer identification number or other government-issued identification number, and, if such party is a natural person, that party’s date of birth. PNC may also ask (and may have already asked) for additional identifying information, and PNC may take steps (and may have already taken steps) to verify the authenticity and accuracy of these data elements.

(j) No Liability for Trustees or Fund Investors. No trustee of the Fund, nor any Fund shareholder, shall bear any liability for any act or omission of the Fund, or any action or omission undertaken on behalf of the Fund.

(k) Each Portfolio to be Separate.  With respect to any obligations of the Fund on behalf of a Portfolio, PNC shall look for payment or satisfaction of any obligation solely to the assets and property of the Portfolio and such accounts to which such obligation relates as though the Fund had separately contracted with PNC by separate written instrument with respect to each Portfolio and its related accounts.
