and between ONEFUND, a Delaware Statutory Trust (the “Trust”) U.S. BANCORP FUND
SERVICES, LLC d/b/a U.S. BANK GLOBAL FUND SERVICES, a Wisconsin limited liability

particular ETF Series (“Deposit Securities”), as more fully described in the current prospectus and

Participants in exchange for Shares and the redemption of Shares in Creation Unit size against the
delivery of Redemption Securities and/or cash of each ETF Series.
WHEREAS, the Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and
WHEREAS, the Trust will ordinarily issue for purchase and redeem Shares only in aggregations
of Shares known as Creation Units (at least 25,000 Shares) principally in kind or in cash;
WHEREAS, The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose trust company organized under
the laws of the State of New York (“DTC”), or its nominee Cede & Company, will be the registered

agent, and agent in connection with certain other activities to each Fund listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto (as amended from time to time).

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 Trust as
a miscellaneous expense in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit B hereto. If a
shareholder remains lost and the shareholder’s account unresolved after completion of the
mandatory Rule 17Ad-17 search, the Trust hereby authorizes Fund Services 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
3
The Trust acknowledges that it had an opportunity to review and consider the written procedures
provided by Fund Services describing various processes used by Fund Services 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 Trust has
determined that the Procedures, as part of the Trust’s overall anti-money laundering program and
identity theft prevention program responsibilities, are reasonably designed to help: (i) prevent the
Trust 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 Trust hereby instructs and directs Fund Services to implement
the Procedures, as applicable, on the Trust’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 Fund Services and
any such amended Procedures will be provided to the Trust. Should the Trust desire that Fund
Services 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 Trust acknowledges and agrees that although it is directing Fund Services to implement the
Procedures on its behalf, Fund Services is implementing the Procedures as a service provider to
the Trust and the Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust. The Trust has had the opportunity
to discuss the Procedures with Fund Services, and the Trust understands and agrees which
portions of the Procedures may not be implemented on behalf of the Trust. Without limitation of
the foregoing, Fund Services 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 Trust and the intermediary.
The Trust hereby directs, and Fund Services acknowledges, that Fund Services shall (i) permit
federal regulators access to such information and records maintained by Fund Services and
relating to Fund Services’ implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Trust, as they may
request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect Fund Services’ implementation of the
Procedures on behalf of the Trust.
5.Compensation
Fund Services 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).
Fund Services shall also be reimbursed for such miscellaneous expenses set forth in Exhibit B as
are reasonably incurred by Fund Services in performing its duties hereunder. The Trust shall pay
4
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 Fund
Services 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. With the exception
of any fee or expense the Trust is disputing in good faith as set forth above, unpaid invoices shall
accrue a finance charge of [...]% per month after the due date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, amounts owed by the Trust to Fund Services shall only be paid out of assets and
property of the particular Fund involved.
6.Representations and Warranties
A.The Trust hereby represents and warrants to Fund Services, which representations and

this Agreement (other than where such compliance would violate applicable law) or from
6
its bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of the Trust, its successors
and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. As used in this
paragraph, the term “Fund Services” shall include Fund Services’ directors, officers and

from the Trust or its agent, shall not be subject to this paragraph.
Further, Fund Services will adhere to the privacy policies adopted by the Trust pursuant
to Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as may be modified from time to time. In this
regard, Fund Services shall have in place and maintain physical, electronic and

integrity of, and to prevent unauthorized access to or use of, records and information
relating to the Trust and its shareholders.
B.The Trust agrees on behalf of itself and its trustees, officers, and employees to treat
confidentially and as proprietary information of Fund Services, all non- public

and manner, and for such period, as it may deem advisable and is agreeable to the Trust, but not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations of appropriate government authorities, in particular,
Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Fund Services agrees that all such records
prepared or maintained by Fund Services relating to the services to be performed by Fund
Services hereunder are the property of the Trust and will be preserved, maintained, and made
available in accordance with such applicable sections and rules of the 1940 Act and will be
promptly surrendered to the Trust or its designee on and in accordance with its request.

policies and limitations of the Trust relating to its portfolio investments as set forth in its
Prospectus and statement of additional information. Fund Services’ duties hereunder
shall not relieve the Trust of its responsibilities for assuring such compliance or the
Board of Trustee’s oversight responsibility with respect thereto. Further, the Trust agrees
that it complies with any and all applicable local, state, federal, and international data
protection laws, and confirms necessary and appropriate consents, disclosures and
notices are in place to enable collection and processing of personal data by Fund
Services. Fund Services’ functions hereunder shall not relieve the Trust of their primary
day-to- day responsibility for assuring such compliance.
B.The Trust shall immediately notify Fund Services if the investment strategy of any Fund
materially changes or deviates from the investment strategy disclosed in the current
Prospectus, or if it (or any Fund) becomes subject to any new law, rule, regulation, or
9
order of a governmental or judicial authority of competent jurisdiction that materially
impacts the operations of the Trust or any Fund or the services provided under this
Agreement.
C.If, and to the extent that, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, as
amended (“GDPR”) or the Cayman Islands Data Protection Law, 2017, as amended
(“DPL”), are applicable to Fund Services and the Trust the following provisions shall
apply:
(1)The parties agree Fund Services is a “Data Processor” under GDPR and DPL, as

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree Fund Services is a “Data
Controller” under GDPR and DPL, as applicable, solely for the purpose of
fulfilling its own pre-contractual AML/KYC new fund client onboarding
obligations. In either case, the Trust shall ensure that all necessary and
appropriate consents, disclosures and notices, including data subject consents,
are in place to enable the processing of “Personal Data” (as defined by GDPR
and DPL) by Fund Services, the transfer of Personal Data to Fund Services, and
the transfer of Personal Data by Fund Services to third countries or regulatory
organizations.
(2)The parties further agree the Trust is a “Data Controller” under GDPR and DPL,
as applicable. The Trust, either alone or jointly with others, determines or
controls the content, use, purpose and means of processing the Personal Data.
(3)Fund Services shall process the Personal Data: (i) in accordance with instructions
of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and any authorized persons list executed
pursuant thereto, for the purpose of discharging Fund Services’ obligations under
the Agreement; and (ii) when required by law or regulation, or required or
requested by any court or regulator (each a “Processing Order”) to which Fund
Services is subject. In the event Fund Services receives a request to process
Personal Data pursuant to any Processing Order, it shall, to the extent legally
permissible and reasonably practicable under the circumstances, notify the Trust
prior to processing.
(4)The Trust is solely responsible for developing and implementing its
internal policies and procedures with respect to GDPR and DPL.
(5)Fund Services shall:
i.ensure that persons handling Personal Data on its behalf are subject to
confidentiality obligations similar to those contained in this Agreement;
ii.implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to
protect Personal Data including against unauthorized or unlawful
processing and against accidental loss, damage or destruction;
iii.only appoint sub-processors with the prior written consent of the Trust
(standing instructions or general written authorization are sufficient), and
only if the sub-processors provide sufficient guarantees in writing to Fund
Services that they have implemented appropriate technical and organizational
10
measures in such a manner that processing will comply with GDPR and
DPL, as applicable1;
iv.beyond the initial appointment, inform the Trust of any intended
material changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-
processors, thereby giving the Trust the opportunity to object;
v.taking into account the nature of the processing, reasonably assist the Trust
by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, to
enable the Trust to comply with its obligation to respond to requests for
exercising a data subject’s rights under GDPR or DPL;
vi.provide reasonable assistance to the Trust in ensuring their compliance with
obligations regarding Personal Data breaches, data protection impact
assessments and prior consultation subject to the nature of the processing
and the information reasonably available to Fund Services, and inform the
Trust of Personal Data breaches without undue delay;
vii.at the written direction of the Trust, delete or return all Personal Data to the
Trust after the end of the provision of services under the Agreement
relating to processing, and delete existing copies of Personal Data unless
applicable law or internal data retention or backup procedures require the
storage of such Personal Data; and
viii.make available to the Trust all information reasonably necessary to
demonstrate compliance with GDPR or DPL, as applicable, and allow for
and reasonably cooperate with audits, including inspections, conducted by
the Trust or its auditor; and immediately inform the Trust if, in its opinion,
the Trust’s instructions regarding this subsection infringes on GDPR or
DPL.
(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.

processors under this Agreement, and the Trust hereby authorizes such use.

12.Duties in the Event of Termination
In the event that, in connection with termination, a successor to any of Fund Services’ duties or
responsibilities hereunder is designated by the Trust by written notice to Fund Services, Fund
Services will promptly, upon such termination and at the expense of the Trust, transfer to such
successor all relevant books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained
by Fund Services under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trust (if such
form differs from the form in which Fund Services has maintained the same, the Trust 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 Fund
Services’ personnel in the establishment of books, records, and other data by such successor.
If no such successor is designated, then such books, records and other data shall be returned to
the Trust. The Trust shall also pay any fees associated with record retention and/or tax reporting
obligations that Fund Services is obligated under applicable law, regulation, or rule to continue
following the termination.

that it will not be renewing the Agreement.
B.Subject to Section 14, this Agreement may be terminated by either party (in whole or with
respect to one or more Funds) upon giving 90 days’ prior written notice to the other party
or such shorter notice period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties.
