Specifically, USBFS shall reimburse for any net losses during each NAV Error Period (as defined below) resulting from an NAV Difference that is at least $0.01 per Share and that, as a percentage of Recalculated NAV (as defined below) of the Funds, is at least ½ of 1%; provided, however, that USBFS shall not be responsible for reimbursing any Unitholder experiencing a loss during any such NAV Error Period of less than $25. In providing reimbursement to the applicable Fund and any Unitholder, USBFS shall, at its option, either make direct payment limited to the amount of the NAV Differences for the Funds and any Unitholder, or will reprocess the Unitholder transactions affected by the NAV Differences. NAV Differences and any liability of USBFS therefrom are to be calculated each time the net asset value per Share is calculated.

For purposes of this paragraph:

(i)	“NAV Error Period” means any month during which any NAV Difference exists.

(ii)	“NAV Difference” means the difference between the Recalculated NAV and the net asset value per Share at which a given purchase or redemption is effected, divided by the Recalculated NAV with respect to such purchase or redemption.

(iii)

“Recalculated NAV” means the net asset value per Share at which a Unitholder purchase or redemption should have been affected.

4.	Changes in Accounting Procedures

Any changes to the Governing Documents that affect accounting practices and procedures under this Agreement shall be effective upon written receipt of notice and acceptance by USBFS.

5.	Changes in Equipment, Systems, Etc.

USBFS reserves the right to make changes from time to time, as it deems advisable, relating to its systems, programs, rules, operating schedules and equipment, so long as such changes do not adversely affect the services provided to the Funds under this Agreement.

6.	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 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. The Funds shall pay all such fees and reimbursable expenses within 30 calendar days following the receipt of the billing notice, except for any fee or expense subject to a good faith dispute. The Funds shall notify USBFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Funds are disputing any amounts in good faith. The Funds 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 Funds are disputing in good faith as set forth above, unpaid invoices shall accrue a finance charge of 1½% per month after the due date.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if USBFS has exercised reasonable care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Funds and the Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless USBFS from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that USBFS may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against USBFS by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in performing the services hereunder (i) in accordance with the foregoing standards, or (ii) in reliance upon any written or oral instruction provided to USBFS by any duly authorized officer of the Funds or such other person, the names of whom to be included in a list of authorized persons approved by the Funds and set forth on Exhibit C hereto (as amended from time to time), except for any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities arising out of or relating to USBFS’ refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from its bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

USBFS shall indemnify and hold the Funds, and the Manager harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that the Funds, or the Manager may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against the Funds, or the Manager by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by USBFS as a result of USBFS’ refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or from its bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

As used in this paragraph, the terms “Funds,” and “Manager” shall include their respective directors, officers and employees.

Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential, special or punitive damages under any provision of this Agreement.

In the event of a mechanical breakdown or failure of communication or power supplies beyond its control, USBFS shall take all reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions for any period that such interruption continues.

In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this section shall apply, it is understood that if in any case the indemnitor may be asked to indemnify or hold the indemnitee harmless, the indemnitor shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the indemnitee will use all reasonable care to notify the indemnitor promptly concerning any situation that presents or appears likely to present the probability of a claim for indemnification; provided that the indemnitee’s failure to so notify the indemnitor shall not relieve the indemnitor of its responsibility to indemnify the indemnitee. The indemnitor shall have the option to defend the indemnitee against any claim that may be the subject of this indemnification. In the event that the indemnitor so elects, it will so notify the indemnitee and thereupon the indemnitor shall take over complete defense of the claim, and the indemnitee shall in such situation initiate no further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek indemnification under this section. The indemnitee shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the indemnitor will be asked to indemnify the indemnitee except with the indemnitor’s prior written consent.

The indemnity and defense provisions set forth in this Section 8 shall indefinitely survive the termination and/or assignment of this Agreement.

In the absence of such designation by the Funds, each of the Funds shall be deemed to be its own service provider as of the termination date and USBFS shall thereby be relieved of all duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by USBFS, but unpaid by the Funds upon such termination, shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by USBFS upon the breach of the Funds or the Manager, and by the Funds or the Manager upon the breach of USBFS, of any material term of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within 15 days of notice of such breach to the breaching party.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by written agreement executed by USBFS, the Funds and the Manager.

15.	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 Funds by written notice to USBFS, USBFS will promptly, upon such termination and at the expense of the Funds, 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 Funds (if such form differs from the form in which USBFS has maintained the same, the Funds 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. If no such successor is designated, then such books, records and other data shall be returned to the Funds.

16.	Assignment

This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by either party hereto without the written consent of the other party.
