CARDINAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.L.C.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR U.S. REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES

INTRODUCTION

This Code of Ethics (the "Code") has been adopted by Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Adviser") with respect to Adviser's investment advisory services to all of its clients, including each client that is a U.S. registered investment company or series thereof (each a "Client"). The Code establishes standards and procedures for the detection and prevention of inappropriate personal securities transactions by persons having knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of a Client and addresses other situations involving a potential conflict of interest. Definitions of underlined terms are included in Appendix A.

This Code is intended to ensure that the personal securities transactions of persons subject to the Code are conducted in accordance with the following principles:

(i)The duty at all times to place first the interests of Clients;

(ii)The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted consistent with this Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual's responsibility and position of trust; and

(iii)The fundamental standard that Adviser personnel not take inappropriate advantage of their positions.

(iv), The trading by the Adviser's personnel is conducted in a manner that does not adversely affect clients and is conducted in a manner consistent with the fiduciary duty owed by the Adviser to its clients and prevents violations of the federal securities laws.

1.WHO IS COVERED BY THIS CODE

This Code applies to all partners, officers and employees of Adviser. Certain provisions apply only to Access Persons and Investment Personnel. Adviser forbids any partner, officer and employee from engaging in any conduct which is contrary to this Code or Adviser's Insider Trading Policy and Related Procedures. All Access Persons are subject to the Code's restrictions and requirements regarding opening securities accounts, effecting securities transactions, reporting securities transactions, maintaining information and documents in a confidential manner and other matters. This Code shall not apply to Cardinal Value Equity Partners, L. P. and Cardinal Mid-Cap Value Equity Partners, L. P., or to any other private investment partnership to which the adviser serves as general partner, provided that persons subject to this Code do not control any such private investment vehicle. Failure to comply with this Code is a very serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, including, among other things, monetary fines, disgorgement of profits, and suspension or termination of employment.

It is Cardinal's policy that every Cardinal employee shall report any violation or suspected violation of this Code of Ethics to the Chief Compliance Officer or any Cardinal Capital Managing Partner and be assured that there will be no negative repercussions as a result of the reporting.

2.PERSONAL TRADING POLICIES

a.Employees of the company are strongly discouraged from investing personally (as well as in accounts over which they have discretion or in accounts of other individuals residingin the same household) in the Covered Securities of companies that are currently held in Cardinal's portfolios, pending on the trading desk, or actively followed by Cardinal because of the potential for or appearance of conflicts of interest.

Towards that end, any personal equity securities transaction (purchase or sale) which involves a company whose securities are held in Cardinal's portfolios, pending on the trading desk, or actively followed by Cardinal must be approved by the Compliance Officer (or his/her designee, in the absence of the Compliance Officer) in writing before the trade is entered as outlined in 2b.

b.Trade authorizations should be requested via e-mail to the Compliance Officer. A return e-mail should be received by the employee within 2 hours either authorizing the trade or explaining the reason why the request was denied. Approvals will be valid for 24 hours from receipt and will be given only after the Compliance Officer has determined that the trade will not have an adverse effect on clients, including, without limitation

(i)that there have been no pending or completed block trades, representing a change in the model portfolio, in that company during:

the previous five trading days (in the case of a trade which is in the same direction), or

the previous five trading days (in the case of a trade in the opposite direction)

(ii)and that there are no anticipated block trades, representing a change to the model portfolio in that company's securities for any of Cardinal's portfolios in the next five days.

c.If an employee purchases an equity security issued by a company held in Cardinal's portfolio or pending on the trading desk, the security must then be held until after Cardinal has sold that security in all of its client accounts. If an employee purchases a security issued by a company actively followed by Cardinal and Cardinal subsequently purchases shares in that company within six months of the employee purchase, then the security must then be held until after Cardinal has sold that security in all of its client accounts. If Cardinal subsequently purchases shares in the company after the six month date of the employee purchase, the purchased security would be grandfathered as in 2d below. In extraordinary circumstances, these requirements may be waived by the Compliance Officer. Exceptions will generally be granted in the case of a tender offer or other corporate action which is extended to all shareholders in a pro-rata fashion. The employee will then be permitted to sell his/her investment.

d.All personal investments in the equity securities of companies in Cardinal's portfolio, pending on the trading desk, or actively followed by Cardinal as of October 10, 2005 are grandfathered and may be sold prior to Cardinal's liquidation of its investment. In addition, in the case of Cardinal's investment in a company (or active monitoring thereof) after its securities are owned by an employee or in the case of a new employee joining Cardinal and possessing securities in companies owned in the Cardinal portfolios, these securities will also be grandfathered. In addition, any security which,

3

after an employee has purchased the security, subsequently is bought or merged for stock with a Cardinal portfolio company shall also be grandfathered as long as the employee purchased the security six months before the effective date of the merger. Any such sale of those grandfathered investments must still be preceded by obtaining prior written approval (as outlined in 2b) from the Compliance Officer. Approvals will also be valid for 24 hours from receipt. Approvals will be given only after the Compliance Officer has determined that the conditions in paragraph 2b exist.

e.Short sales or purchases of put options on companies held in Cardinal's portfoliosare strictly prohibited.

f.All personal transactions in equity securities of companies currently not in Cardinal portfolios (or in open trading orders or actively followed) require only that notification of the transaction must be provided to the Compliance Officer within one business day of the transction. It is the obligation of the employee to take timely and reasonable efforts to determine if the securities to be traded are in the Cardinal portfolio, pending on the trading desk or actively followed by Cardinal.

g.With respect to all personal trades in the AIC II Cardinal Small Cap Value Fund, SEI Institutional Trust-Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund, SEI US Small Company Equity Fund, SIMT Small Cap Value Fund, SIMT Tax-Managed Small/Mid Cap Fund, Russell Equity II Fund and the Vanguard Explorer Value Fund, of which Cardinal is an investment sub- advisor to each, notification of any purchases or sales of the Fund's must be emailed to The Compliance Officer before trading. (trades in above referenced mutual funds that are offered through Cardinal's 401k Plan do not require notification.)

Notwithstanding the above, any issues or questions not addressed specifically by the preceding should be brought to the attention of the Compliance Officer.

3.GIFTS AND BUSINESS ENTERTAINMENT POLICY

The giving and receiving of gifts and entertainment should never create or appear to create a conflict of interest, interfere with the impartial fulfillment of our responsibilities to clients, or place Cardinal Capital in a difficult or compromising position. When in doubt seek guidance from a Cardinal Managing Partner, Chief Compliance Officer or Chief Operating Officer. This gift and entertainment policy is an integral part of this Code of Ethics.

Note that the dollar limits and the reporting requirements of this policy do not apply to meals of nominal value that are necessitated by business obligations, such as lunch or coffee when at a business meeting with or on behalf of a client, or dinner where the speaker discusses matter which are relevant to the Adviser's services to its clients.

(a)All Partners, Officers and Employees:

(i)Gifts. A gift is defined as anything of value, whether object, service, or intangible that you receive without paying for it. No Partners or employees should accept or offer gifts of any kind from/to third parties except those gifts of a de minimis nature, which for the purposes of this policy shall be defined as valued at less than $100. Total value of aforementioned gifts should not exceed $200 exchanged per year per individual per third party entity.

4

Partners and Employees of Cardinal may not give any gift of more than the deminimus value to existing investors, prospective investors, or any entity that does business with or potentially could conduct business with or on behalf of the Adviser without the prior written approval of the CCO or his or her designee.

(ii)Entertainment. Partners or employees may accept or offer reasonable business meals or entertainment to/from persons associated with securities or financial organizations or clients or prospective clients provided that both the employee and the recipient are present and there is a business purpose for the entertainment. Given that the firm's business is highly relationship driven, it is anticipated that partners and employees may entertain the same person multiple times per year. However, Employees should not spend or receive more than $300 per person/per event on business meals/entertainment on such occasions without receiving approval from a Cardinal Managing Partner or the CCO in advance.

Reporting: Partners and employees must report gifts and entertainment to Compliance. The Compliance Officer may require that any such gift be returned to the provider or that an expense be repaid by the Partner or employee. Promotional gift items with logos and entertainment/meals served on site and other refreshments served on site at the offices of Cardinal, a client or a vendor in connection with a "working meeting" are excluded.

Valuation: Each employee shall be responsible for determining the value of gifts, meals or entertainment hereunder. Cardinal will be relying on each employee to make a good faith estimate of the value of the item. In those circumstances where the face value of an item is significantly less than its market value (e.g. a ticket to a highly sought after sporting event), the market value shall be used)

Monitoring: Compliance will periodically monitor reimbursement requests for gifts and entertainment and electronic communications of all Partners and Employees of Cardinal to review compliance with this policy.

Recordkeeping. Compliance will maintain records or any gifts and/or business entertainment events so reported.

4.PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS All Partners, Officers and Employees:

(i)Prohibition Against Fraudulent Conduct. No partner, officer or employee may use any information concerning a security held or to be acquired by a Client, or his or her ability to influence any investment decisions, for personal gain or in a manner detrimental to the interests of a Client.

Any Access Persons of a Client who has taken a personal position through a private placement will be under an affirmative obligation to disclose that position in writing to the Review Officer if he or she plays a material role in the Client's subsequent investment decision regarding the same issuer; this separate disclosure must be made even though the Access Persons has previously disclosed the ownership of the privately placed security in compliance with the preclearance requirements of this section.
