literature specifically approved by the Trust and the Distributor.

     (e) The Sub-Distributor  agrees to act as agent for the Distributor and the
Trust to receive and transmit  promptly to the Funds' transfer agent shareholder

time,  officers and  employees of the  Sub-Distributor  may serve as  directors,

into  distribution,  administration,  fund  accounting,  transfer agent or other
agreements with such other  entities.  The Trust reserves the right to (1) issue
Shares in connection with a merger,  consolidation,  or  recapitalization of the
Trust or any Fund(s);  (2) issue  additional  Shares to holders of Shares or (3)
issue Shares in connection with any offer of exchange permitted by Section 11 of
the 1940 Act.

     (i)  The  Sub-Distributor  shall  at all  times  during  the  term  of this
Agreement remain  registered as a broker-dealer  under the 1934 Act and with all
50  states,  and shall  also  remain a member  in good  standing  of FINRA.  The

notification  that such  registrations  or membership  have been  temporarily or
permanently suspended, limited or terminated.

     3. Duties and Representations of the Trust.

     (a) The Trust  represents  that it is duly  organized  and in good standing
under the law of its  jurisdiction of organization and registered as an open-end

By-Laws.

     (b) The Trust, or its agent,  shall take or cause to be taken all necessary
action to  register  Shares of the Funds  under the 1933 Act and to  maintain an

the securities markets or otherwise,  and to suspend the redemption of Shares of
any Fund at any time  permitted  by the 1940 Act or the rules of the  Securities
and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC").  The Trust shall  advise the  Sub-Distributor
promptly of any such determination.

     (d) The Trust agrees to advise the Sub-Distributor promptly in writing:

          (i) of any material  correspondence or other  communication by the SEC
     or its staff relating to continued  availability  for sale of the Shares of

          (ii)  in the  event  of the  issuance  by  the  SEC of any  stop-order
     suspending the  effectiveness of the Registration  Statement then in effect
     or the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose;

          (iii) of the  happening of any event of which the Trust  becomes aware
     that makes untrue any statement of a material  fact made in the  Prospectus

     make the statements therein not misleading;

          (iv) of all actions which may relate to the continued  availability of
     the Shares for sale,  by the  Funds,  taken by the SEC with  respect to any
     amendments to any Registration  Statement or Prospectus which may from time
     to time be filed with the SEC; and

          (v) of assignment or termination of the Distribution Agreement.

     (e) The  Trust  shall  file such  reports  and  other  documents  as may be
required  under  applicable  federal and state laws and  regulations.  The Trust
shall, upon request of the Sub-Distributor notify the Sub-Distributor in writing
of  the  states  in  which  the  Shares  may  be  sold  and  shall   notify  the
Sub-Distributor in writing of any changes to such information.

     (f) The Trust  agrees to file  from  time to time  such  amendments  to its
Registration  Statement  and  Prospectus  as may be  necessary in order that its
Registration  Statement and Prospectus will not contain any untrue  statement of

or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

     (g) The Trust shall fully  cooperate in the efforts of the  Sub-Distributor
to sell and  arrange  for the sale of Shares  and shall  make  available  to the
Sub-Distributor a statement of each computation of net asset value. In addition,
the Trust shall provide to the  Sub-Distributor  from time to time copies of all

reasonably  request  for use in  connection  with the  distribution  of  Shares,
including,  without  limitation,  copies  of any  audited  financial  statements
prepared for the Trust by its independent public accountants and such reasonable
number  of  copies  of the most  current  Prospectus,  statement  of  additional
information   and  annual  and   interim   reports   to   shareholders   as  the
Sub-Distributor may request.  The Trust shall forward a copy of any SEC filings,
including the Registration Statement, to the Sub-Distributor within one business
day of any such filings. The Trust, the Distributor and the Sub-Distributor each
represents that it will not use or authorize the use of any advertising or sales
material  unless and until such  materials have been approved and authorized for
use by each party.

     (h) The Trust represents and warrants that its  Registration  Statement and
any  advertisements  and sales  literature  of the Trust  (excluding  statements
relating to the Sub-Distributor and the services it provides that are based upon
written  information  furnished by the  Sub-Distributor  expressly for inclusion
therein)  shall not contain  any untrue  statement  of material  fact or omit to
state any material fact  required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the
statements  therein  not  misleading,  and that all  statements  or  information

     5. Compensation.

     As compensation for the services  performed and the expenses assumed by the
Sub-Distributor  under  this  Agreement  including,  but  not  limited  to,  any
commissions paid for sales of Shares, the  Sub-Distributor  shall be entitled to

The  Sub-Distributor  does  not  assume  responsibility  for  any  expenses  not

     7. Indemnification.

     (a) The Trust shall  indemnify,  defend and hold the  Sub-Distributor,  and
each of its present or former members, directors/trustees,  officers, employees,
representatives  and any  person  who  controls  or  previously  controlled  the
Sub-Distributor  within the  meaning  of  Section  15 of the 1933 Act,  free and
harmless  from and  against any and all losses,  claims,  demands,  liabilities,
damages and expenses  (including  the costs of  investigating  or defending  any
alleged  losses,  claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages or  expenses  and any
reasonable   counsel  fee   incurred   in   connection   therewith)   which  the
Sub-Distributor,  each of its present and former members,  directors,  trustees,
officers, employees or representatives or any such controlling person, may incur
under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other statute (including Blue Sky laws) or
any rule or regulation thereunder, or under common law or otherwise,  based upon
the Trust's  failure to adhere to its obligations  hereunder,  or, in connection
with the Trust's  performance  of its duties  hereunder,  based upon the Trust's
violation  or  alleged  violation  of any rule of FINRA or the SEC or any  other
jurisdiction  wherein  Shares of the Funds are sold,  or arising out of or based
upon any  untrue  statement,  or alleged  untrue  statement  of a material  fact
contained in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus,  as from time to time
amended or supplemented,  or in any annual or interim report to shareholder,  or
in any  advertisement or sales  literature,  or arising out of or based upon any
omission,  or alleged omission,  to state therein a material fact required to be
stated  therein or  necessary  to make the  statements  therein not  misleading;
provided,  however, that the Trust's obligation to indemnify the Sub-Distributor
and any of the  foregoing  indemnities  shall not be deemed to cover any losses,
claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages or  expenses  arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission made in
the Registration  Statement,  Prospectus,  annual or interim report, or any such
advertisement  or sales  literature  in  reliance  upon and in  conformity  with
information  furnished  to the Trust or its  counsel by the  Sub-Distributor  in
writing  and  acknowledging  the purpose of its use for the purpose of, and used
in, the preparation  thereof.  In no event shall anything contained herein be so
construed as to protect  Sub-Distributor  against any  liability to the Trust or
its shareholders to which  Sub-Distributor  would otherwise be subject by reason
of willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties  under  this  Agreement  or by reason of its  reckless  disregard  of its
obligations under this Agreement.

     The Trust's  agreement to  indemnify  the  Sub-Distributor,  and any of the
foregoing  indemnitees,  as the case may be,  with  respect  to any  action,  is
expressly  conditioned  upon the Trust being  notified  of such  action  brought
against  the  Sub-Distributor,  or any of the  foregoing  indemnitees,  within a
reasonable   time  after  the  summons  or  other  first  legal  process  giving
information  of the  nature  of the  claim  shall  have  been  served  upon  the
Sub-Distributor,  or such  person,  unless the  failure to give  notice does not
prejudice the Trust. Such  notification  shall be given by letter or by telegram
addressed to the Trust's President,  but, unless the failure to notify the Trust
serves to prejudice  the Trust,  such failure so to notify the Trust of any such
action shall not relieve the Trust from any  liability  which the Trust may have
to the person  against whom such action is brought by reason of any such untrue,
or alleged untrue, statement or omission, or alleged omission, otherwise than on
account of the Trust's indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a).

     (b) The Trust shall be entitled  to  participate  at its own expense in the
defense  or, if it so  elects,  to assume  the  defense  of any suit  brought to
enforce any such loss, claim,  demand,  liability,  damage or expense subject to
this  Agreement.  If the Trust  elects to assume the  defense of any such claim,
such defense  shall be conducted by counsel  chosen by the Trust and approved by
the Sub-Distributor,  which approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld. In the
event the Trust  elects to assume the  defense of any such suit and retain  such
counsel,  the  indemnified  defendant or  defendants in such suit shall bear the
fees and expenses of any additional  counsel retained by them. If the Trust does
not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, or in case the Sub-Distributor
does not, in the exercise of reasonable  judgment,  approve of counsel chosen by
the Trust or, if under prevailing law or legal codes of ethics, the same counsel
cannot   effectively   represent  the  interests  of  both  the  Trust  and  the
Sub-Distributor,  and each of its present or former members, directors/trustees,
officers,  employees,  representatives or any controlling person, the Trust will
reimburse the indemnified  person or persons named as defendant or defendants in
such suit,  for the  reasonable  fees and  expenses of any  counsel  retained by
Sub-Distributor  and the  indemnified  defendants.  The Trust's  indemnification
agreement  contained in Section 7 shall remain  operative  and in full force and
effect   regardless  of  any   investigation   made  by  or  on  behalf  of  the
Sub-Distributor,  and each of its present or former members, directors/trustees,
officers,  employees,  representatives  or any  controlling  person,  and  shall
survive the delivery of any Shares and the termination of this  Agreement.  This
agreement of indemnity will inure exclusively to the Sub-Distributor's  benefit,
to the  benefit of each of its  present or former  members,  directors/trustees,
officers,  employees  or  representatives  or to the benefit of any  controlling
persons  and  their  successors.   The  Trust  agrees  promptly  to  notify  the
Sub-Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the
Trust or any of its officers or directors/trustees, in connection with the issue
and sale of any of the Shares.

     (c) The Trust, the Distributor,  or the Sub-Distributor,  when acting as an
indemnifying party, shall advance attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by
any person in defending any claim,  demand,  action or suit which is the subject
of a claim for indemnification  pursuant to this Section 7 to the maximum extent
permissible under applicable law.

     (d) The Sub-Distributor shall indemnify,  defend and hold each of the Trust
and the  Distributor,  and each of its  present  or  former  directors/trustees,
officers,  employees,  representatives and any person who controls or previously
controlled each of the Trust and the  Distributor  within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act,  free and  harmless  from and  against  any and all  losses,
claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages and  expenses  (including  the costs of
investigating  or defending any alleged losses,  claims,  demands,  liabilities,
damages or  expenses,  and any  reasonable  counsel fee  incurred in  connection
therewith) which each of the Trust and the Distributor,  and each of its present
or former directors/trustees,  officers, employees,  representatives or any such
controlling  person,  may  incur  under the 1933  Act,  the 1934 Act,  any other
statute (including Blue Sky laws) or any rule or regulation thereunder, or under
common law or otherwise,  based upon the Sub-Distributor's  failure to adhere to
its  obligations  hereunder,   or,  in  connection  with  the  Sub-Distributor's
performance of its duties hereunder, based upon the Sub-Distributor's  violation
or alleged  violation of any rule of FINRA or the SEC or any other  jurisdiction
wherein Shares of the Funds are sold, or arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement,  or alleged  untrue  statement  of a material  fact  contained in the
Trust's Registration  Statement or any Prospectus,  as from time to time amended
or supplemented,  or in any annual or interim report to shareholders,  or in any
advertisement or sales literature, or arising out of or based upon the omission,
or alleged  omission,  to state  therein a material  fact  required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not  misleading;  provided,
however,  that the  Sub-Distributor's  obligation  to indemnify  the Trust,  the
Distributor or any of the foregoing indemnitees shall not be deemed to cover any
losses,  claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages or expenses arising out of any
untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission
made in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, annual or interim report, or any
such  advertisement  or sales literature in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Sub-Distributor or its counsel by the Trust
or the Distributor in writing and  acknowledging  the purpose of its use for the
purpose of, and used in, the  preparation  thereof.  In no event shall  anything
contained  herein be so  construed  as to protect  the Trust or the  Distributor
against  any  liability  to  the  Sub-Distributor  to  which  the  Trust  or the
Distributor  would  otherwise be subject by reason of willful  misfeasance,  bad
faith or gross  negligence in the performance of their  respective  duties under
this  Agreement or by reason of their  reckless  disregard  of their  respective
obligations under this Agreement.

     The  Sub-Distributor's  agreement  to  indemnify  each of the Trust and the
Distributor,  and any of the  foregoing  indemnitees,  as the case may be,  with
respect to any action, is expressly conditioned upon the Sub-Distributor's being
notified of any action brought against the Trust or the  Distributor,  or any of
the foregoing  indemnitees,  within a reasonable time after the summons or other
first legal  process  giving  information  of the nature of the claim shall have
been  served  upon the Trust or the  Distributor,  or such  person,  unless  the
failure to give notice does not prejudice the Sub-Distributor. Such notification
shall be given by  letter  or by  telegram  addressed  to the  Sub-Distributor's
President,  but,  unless the  failure to notify  the  Sub-Distributor  serves to
prejudice the Sub-Distributor,  such failure so to notify the Sub-Distributor of
any such action shall not relieve the  Sub-Distributor  from any liability which
the  Sub-Distributor  may have to the person against whom such action is brought
by reason of any such untrue,  or alleged  untrue,  statement  or  omission,  or
alleged omission,  otherwise than on account of the Sub-Distributor's  indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 7(d).

     (e) The Sub-Distributor shall be entitled to participate at its own expense
in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any such loss, claim,  demand,  liability,  damage or expense subject to
this Agreement.  If the Sub-Distributor elects to assume the defense of any such
claim, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the  Sub-Distributor
and approved by each of the Trust and the Distributor,  which approval shall not
be unreasonably  withheld. In the event the Sub-Distributor elects to assume the
defense of any such suit and retain such counsel,  the indemnified  defendant or
defendants  in such suit  shall  bear the fees and  expenses  of any  additional
counsel  retained by them. If the  Sub-Distributor  does not elect to assume the
defense of any such suit, or in case the Trust or the  Distributor  does not, in
the  exercise  of  reasonable  judgment,   approve  of  counsel  chosen  by  the
Sub-Distributor  or, if under prevailing law or legal codes of ethics,  the same
counsel  cannot  effectively  represent  the  interests of both the Trust or the
Distributor and the Sub-Distributor,  and each of its present or former members,
directors/trustees,  officers,  employees,  representatives  or any  controlling
person,  the  Sub-Distributor  will reimburse the indemnified  person or persons
named as defendant  or  defendants  in such suit,  for the  reasonable  fees and
expenses  of any  counsel  retained  by the  Trust  or the  Distributor  and the
indemnified   defendants.   The  Sub-Distributor's   indemnification   agreement
contained  in  Section 7 shall  remain  operative  and in full  force and effect
regardless  of any  investigation  made  by or on  behalf  of the  Trust  or the
Distributor,  and each of its  present or former  directors/trustees,  officers,
employees,  representatives  or any  controlling  person,  and shall survive the
delivery of any Shares and the termination of this Agreement.  This agreement of
indemnity  will inure  exclusively  to the  benefit of each of the Trust and the
Distributor, to the benefit of each of its present or former directors/trustees,
officers,  employees  or  representatives  or to the benefit of any  controlling
persons and their successors.  The Sub-Distributor agrees promptly to notify the
Trust and the  Distributor of the  commencement of any litigation or proceedings
against the  Sub-Distributor  or any of its officers or  directors/trustees,  in
connection with the issue and sale of any of the Shares.

     (f) The Distributor shall indemnify,  defend and hold the  Sub-Distributor,
and  each  of its  present  or  former  members,  directors/trustees,  officers,
employees,  representatives and any person who controls or previously controlled
the  Sub-Distributor  within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and
harmless  from and  against any and all losses,  claims,  demands,  liabilities,
damages and expenses  (including  the costs of  investigating  or defending  any
alleged  losses,  claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages or  expenses  and any
reasonable   counsel  fee   incurred   in   connection   therewith)   which  the
Sub-Distributor,  and each of its present or former members, directors/trustees,
officers,  employees,  representatives or any such controlling person, may incur
under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other statute (including Blue Sky laws) or
any rule or regulation thereunder, or under common law or otherwise,  based upon
the  Distributor's  failure  to  adhere  to its  obligations  hereunder,  or, in
connection with the  Distributor's  performance of its duties  hereunder,  based
upon  Distributor's  violation or alleged  violation of any rule of FINRA or the
SEC or any other  jurisdiction  wherein Shares of the Funds are sold, or arising
out of or based upon any untrue  statement,  or alleged  untrue  statement  of a
material fact contained in the Trust's Registration Statement or any Prospectus,
as from time to time amended or supplemented, or in any annual or interim report
to shareholders,  or in any advertisement or sales literature, or arising out of
or based upon the  omission,  or alleged  omission,  to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein
not  misleading;   provided,  however,  that  the  Distributor's  obligation  to
indemnify the Sub-Distributor and any of the foregoing  indemnitees shall not be
deemed to cover any losses, claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages or expenses
arising out of any untrue  statement or alleged untrue  statement or omission or
alleged  omission  made in the  Registration  Statement,  Prospectus,  annual or
interim report,  or any such  advertisement or sales literature in reliance upon
and in conformity with written  information  furnished to the Distributor or its
counsel by the Sub-Distributor in writing and acknowledge the purpose of its use
for the  purpose  of, and used in, the  preparation  thereof.  In no event shall
anything  contained  herein be so  construed  as to protect the  Sub-Distributor
against any  liability to the  Distributor  to which the  Sub-Distributor  would
otherwise  be  subject  by reason  of  willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of
its reckless disregard of its obligations under this Agreement.

     The Distributor's  agreement to indemnify the  Sub-Distributor,  and any of
the foregoing  indemnities,  as the case may be, with respect to any action,  is
expressly conditioned upon the Distributor being notified of such action brought
against  the  Sub-Distributor,  or any of the  foregoing  indemnities,  within a
reasonable   time  after  the  summons  or  other  first  legal  process  giving
information  of the  nature  of the  claim  shall  have  been  served  upon  the
Sub-Distributor,  or such  person,  unless the  failure to give  notice does not
prejudice  the  Distributor.  Such  notification  shall be given by letter or by
telegram  addressed to the Distributor's  President,  but, unless the failure to
notify the Distributor  serves to prejudice the Distributor,  such failure so to
notify the Distributor of any such action shall not relieve the Distributor from
any liability  which the  Distributor  may have to the person  against whom such
action is brought by reason of any such untrue, or alleged untrue,  statement or
omission,  or alleged  omission,  otherwise than on account of the distributor's
indemnity agreement contained in Section 7(f).

     (g) The Distributor  shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in
the  defense or, if it so elects,  to assume the defense of any suit  brought to
enforce any such loss, claim,  demand,  liability,  damage or expense subject to
this  Agreement.  If the  Distributor  elects to assume the  defense of any such
claim,  such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Distributor and
approved  by the  Sub-Distributor,  which  approval  shall  not be  unreasonably
withheld.  In the event the Distributor elects to assume the defense of any such
suit and retain such counsel,  the  indemnified  defendant or defendants in such
suit shall bear the fees and  expenses  of any  additional  counsel  retained by
them. If the Distributor  does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit,
or in case the Sub-Distributor does not, in the exercise of reasonable judgment,
approve of counsel  chosen by the  Distributor  or, if under  prevailing  law or
legal  codes of  ethics,  the same  counsel  cannot  effectively  represent  the
interests  of both  the  Sub-Distributor  and the  Distributor,  and each of its
present   or   former   members,   directors/trustees,    officers,   employees,
representatives  or any controlling  person,  the Distributor will reimburse the
indemnified person or persons named as defendant or defendants in such suit, for
the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the  Sub-Distributor
and the indemnified  defendants.  The  Distributor's  indemnification  agreement
contained  in  Section 7 shall  remain  operative  and in full  force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Sub-Distributor, and
its  present  or  former  members,   directors/trustees,   officers,  employees,
representatives or any controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of any
Shares and the termination of this  Agreement.  This agreement of indemnity will
inure exclusively to the benefit of the  Sub-Distributor,  to the benefit of its
present  or  former   members,   directors/trustees,   officers,   employees  or
representatives  or  to  the  benefit  of  any  controlling  persons  and  their
successors. The Distributor agrees promptly to notify the Sub-Distributor of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings  against the Distributor or any of
its officers or directors/trustees, in connection with the issue and sale of any
of the Shares.

     (h) No person  shall be  obligated  to provide  indemnification  under this
Section 7 if such indemnification would be impermissible under the 1940 Act, the
1993 Act, the 1934 Act or the rules of FINRA;  provided,  however, in such event
indemnification  shall be provided under this Section 7 to the maximum extent so
permissible.

     8. Obligations of Trust.

     This  Agreement  is  executed  by  and  on  behalf  of the  Trust  and  the
obligations  of the Trust  hereunder  are not binding upon any of the  trustees,
officers or shareholders of the Trust individually but are binding only upon the
Trust and with respect to the Funds to which such obligations pertain.

     9. Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original  agreement but all of which counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     10. Governing Law.

     This Agreement  shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Wisconsin,  without regard to conflicts of law principles. To the extent that
the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin,  or any of the provisions herein,
conflict  with the  applicable  provisions  of the 1940 Act,  the  latter  shall
control, and nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the
1940 Act or any rule or order of the SEC thereunder. Any dispute arising between
the parties to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted
in accordance with the Rules of FINRA.  Such arbitration shall take place in the
jurisdiction of the respondent.

     11. Duration and Termination.

     (a) This Agreement shall become  effective with respect to each Fund listed
on Schedule A hereof as of the date hereof and, with respect to each Fund not in
existence on that date, on the date an amendment to Schedule A to this Agreement
relating to that Fund is executed.  Unless sooner terminated as provided herein,
this  Agreement  shall  continue  in effect  for one year from the date  hereof.
Thereafter,  if not terminated,  this Agreement shall continue  automatically in
effect  as  to  each  Fund  for  successive  one-year  periods,   provided  such
continuance is specifically  approved at least annually by (i) the Trust's Board
or (ii) the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of a Fund,
and provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority
of the  Trust's  Board  who are not  "interested  persons"  of any party to this
Agreement,  by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on such approval.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  this  Agreement  may be  terminated,
without  the  payment of any  penalty,  with  respect to a  particular  Fund (i)
through a failure to renew this Agreement at the end of a term, (ii) upon mutual
consent of the parties or (iii) upon no less than 60 days'  written  notice,  by
either the Trust  through a vote of a majority  of the  members of the Board who
are not  "interested  persons"  of the  Trust  and have no  direct  or  indirect
financial  interest in the operation of this Agreement or by vote of a "majority
of the outstanding voting securities" of a Fund, or by the Sub-Distributor.  The
terms of this  Agreement  shall not be  waived,  altered,  modified,  amended or
supplemented in any manner whatsoever  except by a written  instrument signed by
the  Sub-Distributor,  the Distributor and the Trust. If required under the 1940
Act,  any such  amendment  must be approved by the  Trust's  Board,  including a
majority of the Trust's Board who are not  "interested  persons" of any party to
this Agreement,  by a vote cast in person at a meeting for the purpose of voting
on such amendment.

     (c)  This  Agreement  will  automatically  terminate  in the  event  of its
assignment.

     12. Confidentiality.

     The Sub-Distributor  agrees on behalf of its employees to treat all records
relative to the Trust and prior, present or potential  shareholders of the Trust
as  confidential,  and not to use  such  records  for  any  purpose  other  than
performance  of the  Sub-Distributor's  responsibilities  and duties  under this
Agreement,  except after  notification  and prior  approval by the Trust,  which
approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  and may not be withheld where the
Sub-Distributor  may be exposed to civil or criminal  proceedings for failure to
comply,   when  requested  to  divulge  such  information  by  duly  constituted
authorities,  when subject to governmental or regulatory audit or investigation,
or when so requested  by the Trust.  Records and  information  which have become
known to the public through no wrongful act of the Sub-Distributor or any of its
employees,  agents or representatives shall not be subject to this paragraph. In
accordance  with Section  248.11 of Regulation  S-P (17 CFR  248.1-248.30),  the
Sub-Distributor  will not directly or indirectly through an affiliate,  disclose
any non-public personal  information,  as defined in Reg. S-P, received from the
Trust or any  Fund(s)  regarding  any  shareholder,  to any  person  that is not
affiliated  with  the  Trust or any  Fund(s)  or with  the  Sub-Distributor  and
provided  that,  any  such   information   disclosed  to  an  affiliate  of  the
Sub-Distributor shall be under the same limitations on non-disclosure.

     13. Withdrawal of Offering.

     The Trust  reserves the right at any time to withdraw all  offerings of any
or all Shares by written notice to the  Sub-Distributor at its principal office.
No Shares shall be offered by either the  Sub-Distributor or the Trust under any
provisions of this Agreement and no orders for the purchase of Shares  hereunder
shall  be  accepted  by a Fund  if  and so  long  as  the  effectiveness  of the
Registration  Statement then in effect or any necessary amendments thereto shall
be suspended under any of the provisions of the 1933 Act, or if and so long as a
current prospectus as required by Section 5(b)(2) of the 1933 Act is not on file
with the SEC.

     14. Miscellaneous.

     The captions in this  Agreement are included for  convenience  of reference
only and in no way define or delimit any of the  provisions  hereof or otherwise
affect their  construction or effect.  Any provision of this Agreement which may
be determined by competent  authority to be prohibited or  unenforceable  in any
jurisdiction  shall,  as to such  jurisdiction,  be ineffective to the extent of
such  prohibition  or  unenforceability   without   invalidating  the  remaining
provisions  hereof,  and  any  such  prohibition  or   unenforceability  in  any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render  unenforceable such provision in any
other  jurisdiction.  This  Agreement  shall be  binding  upon and  inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective  successors.  As used in this
Agreement,   the  terms  "majority  of  the  outstanding   voting   securities,"
"interested  person" and "assignment"  shall have the same meaning as such terms
have in the 1940 Act.
