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 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
5
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. 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 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.
D. 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 one year
("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.
6
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 twenty (120) days' prior
written notice of such termination specifying the date fixed
therefor. 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.
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 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
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 series of
the Trust, and distribution of its assets, this Agreement will
terminate 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. 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 fund accounting 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, it being acknowledged that the Trust is relying on the best
efforts of Integrated.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission
("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.
8
25. CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------
Both parties hereto agree that any non-public 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

remedies at law or in equity to an injunction or injunctions without bond or
other security to prevent breaches of this provision.
