Question: Exhibit 28(h)(9)

RESTATED   NET INVESTMENT INCOME MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT   SECURIAN FUNDS TRUST

RESTATED NET INVESTMENT INCOME MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, effective as of May 1, 2012, by and between Advantus Capital  Management, Inc. (the Investment Adviser), Securian Financial Services, Inc. (the Underwriter) and Securian Funds Trust (the Trust), a  Delaware statutory trust, on behalf of the Trust's Advantus Money Market Fund (the Fund).

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by both the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Board of  Directors of Advantus Series Fund, Inc. (the Series Fund) on July 28, 2011, and approved by a majority of the shareholders of each Portfolio of  the Series Fund on October 21, 2011, each Portfolio of the Series Fund was reorganized into a separate Fund of the Trust effective as of May 1,  2012; and

WHEREAS, the Investment Adviser, the Underwriter and the Series Fund have previously entered into a Net Investment Income  Maintenance Agreement, effective as of February 1, 2009 and an Amended and Restated Net Investment Income Maintenance Agreement  effective as of October 29, 2009 (the Prior Agreements); and

WHEREAS, the parties have determined that each desires to restate and adopt the Prior Agreements as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management  company of the series type, and the Fund is a series of the Trust; and

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Investment Adviser have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement dated May 1, 2012 (the Advisory  Agreement), pursuant to which the Investment Adviser will render investment advisory services to the Fund for compensation based on the  value of the average daily net assets of the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Underwriter have entered into an Underwriting and Distribution Agreement dated May 1, 2012 (the  Underwriting Agreement) pursuant to which the Underwriter acts the principal underwriter for the Fund, and receives compensation thereunder  pursuant to the Fund's Rule 12b-1 Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Investment Adviser have determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund and its  shareholders to maintain the Fund's daily Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph 1.1 below) at or in excess of zero.





NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:











   2

1. Net Investment Income Maintenance.



1.1 Net Investment Income. Fund Investment Income, as defined in paragraph 1.2 below, minus Fund Operating Expenses as defined  in paragraph 1.3 below equals Net Investment Income. If the Fund's Net Investment Income on any day is below zero, the Investment  Adviser shall waive its Advisory Fee or reimburse the Fund an amount (defined as Expense Waiver) sufficient to produce a Net  Investment Income of zero.

  1.2 Fund Investment Income. Fund Investment Income includes interest and dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes, plus income from  securities lending activities, if applicable. Fund Investment Income does not include realized and unrealized gains or losses on  investments and foreign currencies.



1.3 Fund Operating Expenses. Fund Operating Expenses are the aggregate expenses of every character incurred by the Fund, including but  not limited to investment advisory fees of the Investment Adviser (but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other  expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and other extraordinary expenses not  incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business). Fund Operating Expenses do not include acquired fund fees and expenses  as defined in SEC Form N-1A, as it may be amended from time to time.



1.4 Method of Computing Expense Waiver. To determine the Expense Waiver (Investment Adviser's liability), each day the Fund  Operating Expenses shall be subtracted from the Fund Investment Income to produce the daily Net Investment Income. If the daily Net  Investment Income is below zero for any day, the Investment Adviser shall first waive or reduce its advisory fee for such day by an  amount sufficient to bring the Net Investment Income to zero. If the amount of the waived or reduced advisory fee for any such day is  insufficient to bring the Net Investment Income to zero , the Investment Adviser shall also pay Fund expenses or reimburse the Fund  an amount that, together with the waived or reduced advisory fee, is sufficient to bring the Net Investment Income to zero.



1.5 Right of Recovery. The Investment Adviser shall have the option to recover the full amount waived, paid or reimbursed (the Expense  Waiver) by the Investment Adviser on any day on which the Fund's Net Investment Income exceeds zero. In no event, however, shall  the Expense Waiver, or any portion thereof, constitute an obligation of the Fund to the Investment Adviser on any such day unless  the Investment Adviser has expressly exercised its right to recover all or a portion of the Expense Waiver on that day, in which case  such portion of the Expense Waiver elected by the Investment Adviser for recovery that day shall then be due and payable. If, and to  the extent, the payment by the Fund to the Investment Adviser of the Expense Waiver would cause the Fund's Net Investment Income  to fall below zero, such payment shall be deferred until such date on which the











In connection with the obligation of the Investment Adviser to maintain the Fund's Net Investment Income as set forth in section 1 herein,  the Underwriter may waive its Rule 12b-1 fees contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, and shall have the same rights to be reimbursed  by the Fund as the Investment Adviser, as set forth in Section 1 herein, to the extent the Investment Adviser has not already been  reimbursed by the Fund for its payment of Rule 12b-1 fees.

This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of one year from the date of its execution and from year to year thereafter provided such  continuance is specifically approved by a majority of the trustees of the Trust who (i) are not interested persons of the Trust or any other party  to this Agreement, as defined in the 1940 Act, and (ii) have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement (Non- Interested Trustees). This Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement except the Investment Adviser's Right of  Recovery set forth in section 1.5 herein.



   3



payment would not cause the Fund to have a Net Investment Income of less than zero, provided that the right of the Investment  Adviser to receive such payment shall expire three years after the day it effected such waiver, or made such payment or reimbursement.  For purposes of this paragraph 1.5 (and for purposes of paragraph 2), the Expense Waiver that may be recovered from the Fund shall  include the amount of any unrecovered Expense Waiver under the Prior Agreements, provided that the Investment Adviser's right to  receive such payment shall also expire three years after the day it effected such waiver, or made such payment or reimbursement.



1.6 Payment. If the Investment Adviser is required to reimburse the Fund, the Investment Adviser shall make such payment within 30 days  after each month-end in the amount due the Fund as of each month. If the Fund is required to pay the Investment Adviser the Expense  Waiver, the Fund shall make such payment within 30 days after each month-end. Reimbursements to the Fund or the Expense Waiver  shall not include any additional charges or fees whatsoever, including, e.g., interest accruable on such reimbursements or the Expense  Waiver.

  1.7 Operating Expense Limit. Any Expense Waiver recovery payment by the Fund to the Investment Adviser shall not cause the Operating  Expense for the Fund's full year of operations to exceed 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

2. The Underwriter.

3. Term and Termination of Agreement.

4. Miscellaneous.

  4.1 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no other way define or delineate any  of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.







IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

  4.2 Interpretation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require any party hereto to take any action contrary to its Articles of  Incorporation or Agreement and Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, or any applicable statutory or regulatory (including self-regulatory)  requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound.



4.3 Definitions. Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to the investment  advisory or Rule 12b-1 fee, the computations of net asset values, and the allocation of expenses, having a counterpart in or otherwise  derived from the terms and provisions of the Advisory Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, or the 1940 Act, shall have the same  meaning as and be resolved by reference to such Advisory Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, or the 1940 Act.
