Re:
Sub-Advisory Agreement regarding the Geneva Growth Fund
 
Dear Amy and Dave:
 
Effective June 1, 2005, B.C. Ziegler and Company will transfer many of its investment advisory activities to Ziegler Capital Management, LLC (“ZCM”), a newly formed subsidiary of The Ziegler Companies, Inc. ZCM was established in order to provide a dedicated Ziegler entity focused on investment advisory activities. There will be no change of personnel associated with this transfer. The B.C. Ziegler employees involved in investment advisory activities will be moved to ZCM.
 
As part of this reorganization, the investment advisory contract between The North Track Funds, Inc. and B.C. Ziegler and Company has been assigned to ZCM by the North Track Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Sub-Advisory Agreement dated January 1, 1999 among The North Track Funds, Inc., B.C. Ziegler and Company and Geneva Capital Management Ltd. (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) must be assigned to ZCM as well. ZCM will assume all rights and responsibilities of B.C. Ziegler and Company as a result of this assignment.
 
To confirm your acceptance of the assignment of the Sub-Advisory Agreement to ZCM, please sign this letter in the space below and return it in the enclosed stamped envelope. Please keep the enclosed copy of the letter for your records.
 
If you have any questions about the assignment of this agreement, please feel free to contact me at (414) 978-6452. We look forward to continuing to work with you through Ziegler Capital Management, LLC.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Brian K. Andrew
