Anti-Money Laundering and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Programs
 
The Trust acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review, consider and comment upon the written procedures provided by USBFS describing various tools used by USBFS which are designed to promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activity by monitoring certain aspects of shareholder activity as well as written procedures for verifying a customer’s identity (collectively, the “Procedures”).  Further, the Trust has determined that the Procedures, as part of the Trust’s overall anti-money laundering program and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention program, are reasonably designed to prevent the Fund from being used for money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities and to achieve compliance with the applicable provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 and the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the implementing regulations thereunder.
 
Based on this determination, the Trust hereby instructs and directs USBFS to implement the Procedures on the Trust’s behalf, as such may be amended or revised from time to time.  It is contemplated that these Procedures will be amended from time to time by the parties as additional regulations are adopted and/or regulatory guidance is provided relating to the Trust’s anti-money laundering and identity theft responsibilities.
 
USBFS agrees to provide to the Trust:
 
(a)  
Prompt written notification of any transaction or combination of transactions that USBFS believes, based on the Procedures, evidence money laundering or identity theft activities in connection with the Trust or any shareholder of the Fund;
 
(b)  
Prompt written notification of any customer(s) that USBFS reasonably believes, based upon the Procedures, to be engaged in money laundering or identity theft activities, provided that the Trust agrees not to communicate this information to the customer;
 
(c)

The Trust hereby directs, and USBFS acknowledges, that USBFS shall (i) permit federal regulators access to such information and records maintained by USBFS and relating to USBFS’s implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Trust, as they may request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures on behalf of the Trust.
 
6.  
Compensation
 
USBFS shall be compensated for providing the services set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the fee schedule set forth on the exhibits attached hereto (as amended from time to time).  USBFS shall be compensated for such out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., telecommunication charges, postage and delivery charges, and reproduction charges) as are reasonably incurred by USBFS in performing its duties hereunder.  USBFS shall also be compensated for any increases in costs due to industry, regulatory or other applicable rules. The Trust shall pay all such fees and reimbursable expenses within 30 calendar days following receipt of the billing notice, except for any fee or expense subject to a good faith dispute.  The Trust shall notify USBFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Trust is disputing any amounts in good faith.  The Trust shall pay such disputed amounts within 10 calendar days of the day on which the parties agree to the amount to be paid.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, amounts owed by the Trust to USBFS shall only be paid out of assets and property of the particular Fund involved.

The MARSTM or DATA WAREHOUSE Services site may contain certain intellectual property, including, but not limited to, rights in copyrighted works, trademarks and trade dress that is the property of the Trust.  The Trust retains all rights in such intellectual property that may reside on the MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services site, not including any intellectual property provided by or otherwise obtained from USBFS.  To the extent the intellectual property of the  Trust is cached to expedite communication, the Trust grants to USBFS a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to such intellectual property for a period of time no longer than that reasonably necessary for the communication.  To the extent that the intellectual property of the Trust is duplicated within the MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services site to replicate the “look and feel,” “trade dress” or other aspect of the appearance or functionality of the Fund’s web site(s), the Trust grants to USBFS a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to such intellectual property for the period during which this is in effect.  This license is limited to the intellectual property needed to replicate the appearance of the Fund’s web site(s) and does not extend to any other intellectual property owned by the Trust.  The Trust warrants that it has sufficient right, title and interest in and to its web site(s) and its intellectual property to enter into these obligations, and that to its knowledge, the license hereby granted to USBFS does not and will not infringe on any U.S. patent, copyright or other proprietary right of a third party.

 
C.
Each party agrees that the nonbreaching party would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of the other party’s breach or threatened breach of its obligations under this Section of this Exhibit B and that the nonbreaching party would suffer irreparable injury and damage as a result of any such breach.  Accordingly, in the event either party breaches or threatens to breach the obligations set forth in this Section 7 of this Exhibit B, in addition to and not in lieu of any legal or other remedies a party may pursue hereunder or under applicable law, each party hereby consents to the granting of equitable relief (including the issuance of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction) against it by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security therefor, prohibiting any such breach or threatened breach.  In any proceeding upon a motion for such equitable relief, a party’s ability to answer in damages shall not be interposed as a defense to the granting of such equitable relief.  The provisions of this Section 7 relating to equitable relief shall survive termination of the provision of services set forth in this Exhibit B.

8.           Compensation

USBFS shall be compensated for providing MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in the attached exhibits (as amended from time to time).

9.           Additional Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

 
A.  
USBFS CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE AVAILABILITY OF MARSTM AND DATA WAREHOUSE SERVICES.  Accordingly, USBFS’ sole liability to the Trust or any third party (including Users) for any claims, notwithstanding the form of such claims (e.g., contract, negligence, or otherwise), arising out of the delay of or interruption in MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services to be provided by USBFS hereunder shall be to use its best reasonable efforts to commence or resume MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services as promptly as is reasonably possible.

 
B.
USBFS shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Trust and it’s trustees, officers and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, damages or liabilities of any and every nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) any infringement, or claim of infringement, of any United States patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other proprietary rights based on the use or potential use of MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services and (b) the provision of the Trust Files (as defined below) or Confidential Information (as defined below) to a person other than a person to whom such information may be properly disclosed hereunder.

 
C.
If an injunction is issued against the Trust’s and Users’ use of MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services by reason of infringement of a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights of a third party, USBFS shall, at its own option and expense, either (i) procure for the Trust and Users the right to continue to use MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services on substantially the same terms and conditions as specified hereunder, or (ii) after notification to the Trust, replace or modify MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services so that they become non-infringing, provided that, in the Trust’s judgment, such replacement or modification does not materially and adversely affect the performance of MARSTM or Data Warehouse Services or significantly lessen their utility to the Trust and Users.  If in the Trust’s judgment, such replacement or modification does materially adversely affect the performance of MARSTM or DATA Warehouse Services or significantly lessen their utility to the Trust and Users, the Trust may terminate all rights and responsibilities under this immediately on written notice to USBFS.
 
 
 
17

 

 
 
D.
Because the ability of USBFS to deliver MARSTM and Data Warehouse  Services is dependent upon the Internet and equipment, software, systems, data and services provided by various telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, firewall providers and encryption system developers and other vendors and third parties, including Sales Focus Solutions, USBFS shall not be liable for delays or failures to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such delays or failures are attributable to circumstances beyond its reasonable control which interfere with the delivery of MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services by means of the Internet or any of the equipment, software and services which support the Internet provided by such third parties.

 
E.
The Trust and Users are responsible for verifying the accuracy and receipt of all data or information made available via MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services.  The Trust is responsible for advising Users of their responsibilities to promptly notify USBFS of any errors or inaccuracies relating to data or other information made available via MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services with respect to the Trust’s shareholders.

 
F.
USBFS shall not be responsible for the accuracy of input material from Users and the Trust’s record-keeping systems maintained by third parties nor the resultant output derived from inaccurate input.  The accuracy of input and output shall be judged as received at USBFS’ data center as determined by the records maintained by USBFS.

10.           File Security and Retention; Confidentiality

 
A.  
USBFS and its agents will provide reasonable security provisions to ensure that unauthorized third parties do not have access to the Trust’s data bases, files, and other information provided by the Trust to USBFS for use with MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services, (collectively, the “Trust Files”).  USBFS’s security provisions with respect to MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services and the Trust Files will be no less protected than USBFS’s security provisions with respect to its own proprietary information.  USBFS agrees that any and all Trust Files maintained by USBFS for the Trust hereunder shall be available for inspection by the Trust’s regulatory authorities during regular business hours, upon reasonable prior written notice to USBFS, and will be maintained and retained in accordance with applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.  In addition, USBFS will not use, or permit the use of, names of Users for the purpose of soliciting any business, product, or service whatsoever except where the communication is necessary and appropriate for USBFS’ delivery of MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services.
 
 
 
18

 

 
 
B.  
USBFS shall treat as confidential and not disclose or otherwise make available any of the Trust’s lists, information, trade secrets, processes, proprietary data, information or documentation (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), in any form, to any person other than agents, employees or consultants of USBFS.  USBFS will instruct its agents, employees and consultants who have access to the Confidential Information to keep such information confidential by using the same care and discretion that USBFS uses with respect to its own confidential property and trade secrets.  Upon termination of the rights and responsibilities described in this for any reason and upon the Trust’s request, USBFS shall return to the Trust, or destroy and certify that it has destroyed, any and all copies of the Confidential Information which are in its possession.

 
C.
Notwithstanding the above, USBFS will not have an obligation of confidentiality under this Section with regard to information that (1) was known to it prior to disclosure hereunder, (2) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach hereof, (3) is disclosed to it by a third party not subject to a duty of confidentiality, or (4) is required to be disclosed under law or by order of court or governmental agency.

11.           Warranties

12.           Duties in the Event of Termination

In the event of termination of the services provided pursuant to this , (i) the Trust and Users will immediately end their access to MARSTM and Data Warehouse Services and (ii) the Trust will return all codes, system access mechanisms, programs, manuals, confidential or proprietary information and other written information provided to it by USBFS in connection with the Electronic Services provided hereunder, and shall destroy or erase all such information on any diskettes or other storage medium.
