4. Transfer Agency. DHCM shall record the issuance of shares of the Trust and maintain pursuant to applicable rules of the SEC a record of the total number of shares of the Trust which are authorized, issued and outstanding, based upon data provided to it by the Trust. DHCM shall also provide the Trust on a regular basis or upon reasonable request the total number of shares which are authorized, issued and outstanding, but shall have no obligation when recording the issuance of the Trust's shares, except as otherwise set forth herein, to monitor the issuance of such shares or to take cognizance of any laws relating to the issue or sale of such shares, which functions shall be the sole responsibility of the Trust.

The Fund will also pay the fees paid pursuant to its Management Agreement between DHCM and the Trust, and all expenses which it is authorized to pay pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. DHCM may obtain reimbursement from the Fund, at such time or times as DHCM may determine in its sole discretion, for any of the expenses advanced by DHCM, which the Fund is obligated to pay, and such reimbursement shall not be considered to be part of DHCM’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement.

6. Record Keeping and Other Information. DHCM shall create and maintain all necessary records in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to records required by Section 31(a) of the Act and the rules thereunder, as the same may be amended from time to time, pertaining to the various functions performed by it and not otherwise created and maintained by another party pursuant to contract with the Trust. Where applicable, such records shall be maintained by DHCM for the periods and in the places required by Rule 31a-2 under the Act.

7. Audit, Inspection and Visitation. DHCM shall make available to the Trust during regular business hours all records and other data created and maintained pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement for reasonable audit and inspection by the Trust or any regulatory agency having authority over the Trust.

8. Compensation. For the performance of DHCM's obligations under this Agreement, each Fund listed on Schedule A shall pay DHCM a monthly fee as set forth on Schedule A, on the first business day following the end of each month.

The average value of the daily net assets of the different classes of shares of each Fund shall be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust or a resolution of the Board, if required. If, pursuant to such provisions, the determination of net asset value of a Fund is suspended for any particular business day, then for the purposes of this paragraph, the value of the net assets of a Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of the net assets as of the close of the business day, or as of such other time as the value of a Fund's net assets may lawfully be determined, on that day. If the determination of the net asset value of a Fund has been suspended for a period including such month, DHCM’s compensation payable at the end of such month shall be computed on the basis of the value of the net assets of that Fund as last determined (whether during or prior to such month).

9. Limitation of Liability. DHCM may rely on information reasonably believed by it to be accurate and reliable. Except as may otherwise be required by the Act or the rules thereunder, neither DHCM nor its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, control persons or affiliates of any thereof (collectively, the "DHCM Employees") shall be subject to any liability for, or any damages, expenses or losses incurred by the Trust in connection with, any error of judgment, mistake of law, any act or omission in connection 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 DHCM under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard by any of such persons of the obligations and duties of DHCM under this Agreement. Any person, even though also a director, officer, employee, shareholder or agent of DHCM, 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 (other than services or business in connection with DHCM's duties hereunder), to be rendering such services to or acting solely for the Trust and not as a director, officer, employee, shareholder or agent, or one under the control or direction of DHCM, even though paid by it.

10. Indemnification of DHCM. Subject to and except as otherwise provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Act, the Trust shall indemnify DHCM and each DHCM Employee (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Covered Person") against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while serving as the administrator for the Trust or as a DHCM Employee, or, thereafter, by reason of being or having been the administrator for the Trust or a DHCM Employee, including but not limited to liabilities arising due to any misrepresentation or misstatement in the Trust's prospectus, other regulatory filings, and amendments thereto, or in other documents originating from the Trust. In no case shall a Covered Person be indemnified against any liability to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of such Covered Person.

11. Services for Others. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent DHCM or any affiliated person of DHCM from providing services for any other person, firm or corporation, including other investment companies; provided, however, that DHCM 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.

12. Compliance with the Act. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing contained herein shall be construed to require DHCM to perform any services for any series of the Trust which services could cause DHCM to be deemed an "investment adviser" of the Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(20) of the Act or to supersede or contravene the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of any series of the Trust or any provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder.

13. Renewal and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective on the date first above written and shall remain in force until May 31, 2003, and from year to year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or DHCM, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval and by a vote of the Board of Trustees or of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. This Agreement may be terminated without the payment of any penalty by either party upon sixty (60) days' written notice to the other party. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Trust shall pay DHCM such compensation as may be payable for the period prior to the effective date of such termination.

14. The Trust. The term “Diamond Hill Funds” means and refers to the Trustees from time to time serving under the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust as the same may subsequently thereto have been, or subsequently hereto may be, amended. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agent or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property of the Trust.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.
