License of Data; Warranty; Termination of Rights

The valuation information and evaluations being provided to the Funds by USBFS pursuant hereto (collectively, the “Data”) are being licensed, not sold, to the Funds. Each Fund has a limited license to use the Data only for purposes necessary to valuing the Fund’s assets and reporting to regulatory bodies (the “License”). Each Fund does not have any license or right to use the Data for purposes beyond the intentions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, resale to other users or use to create any type of historical database. The License is non-transferable and not sub-licensable. Each Fund’s right to use the Data cannot be passed to or shared with any other entity.

Each Fund acknowledges the proprietary rights that USBFS and its suppliers have in the Data.

THE FUNDS HEREBY ACCEPT THE DATA AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER MATTER.

USBFS may stop supplying some or all Data to the Funds if USBFS’ suppliers terminate any agreement to provide Data to USBFS. Also, USBFS may stop supplying some or all Data to the Funds if USBFS reasonably believes that the Funds are using the Data in violation of the License, or breaching its duties of confidentiality provided for hereunder, or if any of USBFS’ suppliers demand that the Data be withheld from the Funds. USBFS will provide notice to the Funds of any termination of provision of Data as soon as reasonably possible.

USBFS has entered into an agreement with MSCI index data services (“MSCI”), Standard & Poor Financial Services, LLC (“S & P”) and FactSet Research Systems Inc. (“FACTSET”) which obligates USBFS to include a list of required provisions in this Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. The index data services being provided to the Funds by USBFS pursuant to this Section 3. D. (collectively the “Index Data”), are being licensed, not sold, to the Funds. The provisions in Exhibit B shall not have any affect upon the standard of care and liability USBFS has set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement.

Pricing of Securities

For each valuation date, USBFS shall obtain prices from a pricing source recommended by USBFS and approved by the Board of Directors and apply those prices to the portfolio positions of the Funds, consistent with the provisions of the Governing Documents. For those securities where market quotations are not readily available, the Board of Directors shall approve, in good faith, procedures for determining the fair value for such securities.

If the Funds desire to provide a price that varies from the price provided by the pricing source, the Funds shall promptly notify and supply USBFS with the price of any such security on each valuation date. All pricing changes made by the Funds will be in writing and must specifically identify the securities to be changed by CUSIP, name of security, new price or rate to be applied, and, if applicable, the time period for which the new price(s) is/are effective.

In the event that the Funds at any time receive Data containing evaluations, rather than market quotations, for certain securities or certain other data related to such securities, the following provisions will apply: (i) evaluated securities are typically complicated financial instruments. There are many methodologies (including computer-based analytical modeling and individual security evaluations) available to generate approximations of the market value of such securities, and there is significant professional disagreement about which method is best. No evaluation method, including those used by USBFS and its suppliers, may consistently generate approximations that correspond to actual “traded” prices of the securities; (ii) methodologies used to provide the pricing portion of certain Data may rely on evaluations; however, the Fund acknowledges that there may be errors or defects in the software, databases, or methodologies generating the evaluations that may cause resultant evaluations to be inappropriate for use in certain applications; and (iii) the Funds assume all responsibility for edit checking, external verification of evaluations, and ultimately the appropriateness of using Data containing evaluations, regardless of any efforts made by USBFS and its suppliers in this respect.

Changes in Accounting Procedures

Any changes to the Governing Documents that affect accounting practices and procedures under this Agreement shall be effective upon written receipt of notice and acceptance by USBFS.

Changes in Equipment, Systems, Etc.

USBFS reserves the right to make changes from time to time, as it deems advisable, relating to its systems, programs, rules, operating schedules and equipment, so long as such changes do not adversely affect the services provided to the Funds under this Agreement.

Compensation

USBFS shall be compensated for providing the services set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the fee schedule set forth on Exhibit A hereto (as amended from time to time). USBFS shall also be reimbursed for such miscellaneous expenses (e.g., telecommunication charges, postage and delivery charges, and reproduction charges) as are reasonably incurred by USBFS in performing its duties hereunder. The Funds shall pay all such fees and reimbursable expenses within 30 calendar days following the receipt of the billing notice, except for any fee or expense subject to a good faith dispute. The Funds shall use reasonable efforts to notify USBFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Funds are disputing any amounts in good faith. The Funds shall pay such disputed amounts within 10 calendar days of the day on which the parties agree to the amount to be paid. With the exception of any fee or expense the Funds are disputing in good faith as set forth above, unpaid invoices shall accrue a finance charge of 1½% per month after the due date.

Representations and Warranties

Each Fund hereby represents and warrants to USBFS, which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, that:
