Lost Shareholder Due Diligence Searches and Servicing
The Company hereby acknowledges that USBFS has an arrangement with an outside vendor to conduct lost shareholder searches required by Rule 17Ad-17 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Costs associated with such searches will be passed through to the Company as a miscellaneous expense in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit C hereto.  If a shareholder remains lost and the shareholder’s account unresolved after completion of the mandatory Rule 17Ad-17 search, the Company hereby authorizes USBFS to conduct a more in-depth search in order to locate the lost shareholder before the shareholder’s assets escheat to the applicable state, to enter into agreements with vendors to conduct such additional searches, and to charge the costs of such additional searches to the account of the lost shareholder.
4.
Anti-Money Laundering and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Programs
The Company acknowledges that it had an opportunity to review and consider the written procedures provided by USBFS describing various processes  used by USBFS which are designed to promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activity and identity theft by monitoring certain aspects of shareholder activity as well as written procedures for verifying a customer’s identity (collectively, the “Procedures”).  Further, the Company has determined that the Procedures, as part of the Company’s overall anti-money laundering program and identity theft prevention program responsibilities, are reasonably designed to help: (i) prevent the Company from being used for money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities; (ii) prevent identity theft; and (iii) achieve compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, and the implementing regulations thereunder (together “AML Rules”).
Based on this determination, the Company hereby instructs and directs USBFS to implement the Procedures, as applicable, on the Company’s behalf, as such may be amended from time to time.  It is contemplated that these Procedures will be amended from time to time by USBFS and any such amended Procedures will be provided to the Company. Should the Company desire that USBFS perform services not provided for in the Procedures, such additional services and the associated cost must be specifically detailed in the attached fee schedule.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that although it is directing USBFS to implement the Procedures on its behalf, USBFS is implementing the Procedures as a service provider to the Company and the Company is and remains ultimately responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations with respect to anti-money laundering, customer identification, identity theft prevention, economic sanctions, and terrorist financing, whether under the AML Rules, or otherwise, such as, the establishment and board adoption of its own formal anti-money laundering program and the designation of its own anti-money laundering officer, as applicable.
The Company further acknowledges and agrees that certain portions of the Procedures are applicable to certain products, entities, structures, or geographies and, accordingly, certain portions of the Procedures may not be implemented with respect to the Company.  The Company has had the opportunity to discuss the Procedures with USBFS, and the Company understands and agrees which portions of the Procedures may not be implemented on behalf of the Company.  Without limitation of the foregoing, USBFS shall not be responsible for providing anti-money laundering or customer identification services with respect to certain intermediary or dealer-controlled customer accounts (i.e., level 0 sub-accounts through the Fund/SERV system operated by the National Securities Clearing Corporation) and other fund client relationships where there is a sub-transfer agency or similar arrangement between the Company and the intermediary.

4

The Company 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’ implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Company, as they may request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures on behalf of the Company.
5.
Compensation
USBFS shall be compensated for providing the services set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the fee schedule set forth on Exhibit B hereto (as amended from time to time).  USBFS shall also be reimbursed for such miscellaneous expenses set forth in Exhibit B as are reasonably incurred by USBFS in performing its duties hereunder.  The Company 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 Company shall notify USBFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Fund is disputing any amounts in good faith.  The Company shall pay such disputed amounts within 10 calendar days of the day on which the parties agree to the amount to be paid, if any.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, amounts owed by the Company to USBFS shall only be paid out of assets and property of the particular Fund involved.

1 For the avoidance of doubt, USBFS’ affiliates and third party software providers will be used as sub-processors under this Agreement, and the Company hereby authorizes such use.
11

iv.
beyond the initial appointment, inform the Company of any intended material changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-processors, thereby giving the Company the opportunity to object;

(6)
Each party shall comply with any other applicable law or regulation which implements GDPR and DPL in relation to the Personal Data.  Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as preventing either party from taking such other steps as are necessary to comply with GDPR, DPL or any other applicable data protection laws.
12.
Duties in the Event of Termination
In the event that, in connection with termination, a successor to any of USBFS’ duties or responsibilities hereunder is designated by the Company by written notice to USBFS, USBFS will promptly, upon such termination and at the expense of the Company, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by USBFS under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (if such form differs from the form in which USBFS has maintained the same, the Company shall pay any expenses associated with transferring the data to such form), and will cooperate in the transfer of such duties and responsibilities, including provision for assistance from USBFS personnel in the establishment of books, records, and other data by such successor.  The Company shall also pay any fees associated with record retention and/or tax reporting obligations that may not be eliminated due to a conversion to a successor provider.  If no such successor is designated, then such books, records and other data shall be returned to the Company.

“As of” Processing Policy

USBFS will reimburse each Fund for any Net Material Loss that may exist on the Fund’s books and for which USBFS is responsible, at the end of each calendar month.  “Net Material Loss” shall be defined as any remaining loss, after netting losses against any gains, which impacts a Fund’s net asset value per share by at least ½ cent.  Gains and losses will be reflected on the Fund’s daily share sheet, and the Fund will be reimbursed for any net material loss on a monthly basis.  USBFS will reset the “as of” ledger each calendar month so that any losses which do not exceed the materiality threshold of ½ cent will not be carried forward to the next succeeding month.  USBFS will notify the adviser to the Fund on the daily share sheet of any losses for which the adviser may be held accountable.
