3. Representations About the Funds and Shares Neither you nor any of your officers, employees or agents are authorized to make any representations concerning the Funds or their Shares except those contained in the then-current prospectuses or then-current Statements of Additional Information for such shares, copies of which will be supplied by the Fund's distributor (the Distributor) to you, or in such supplemental literature or advertising as may be authorized by the Distributor in writing. 4. Independent Contractor and Limited Agency You will be deemed to be an independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as agent for either Nationwide or the Funds in any matter or in any respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nationwide, on behalf of each Fund, appoints you as each Fund's agent for the limited purpose of accepting orders for purchase, redemption and exchange of Shares, and receipt of such orders by you therefore shall constitute receipt by the applicable Fund of such orders for purposes of determining the price per Share at which such orders will be executed, in accordance with Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act. Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed to make you a partner, employee, representative or agent of Nationwide or any Fund or to create a partnership, joint venture, syndicate or association between you and us. 5. Indemnification By your written acceptance of this Agreement, you agree to and do release, indemnify and hold Nationwide and the Funds harmless from and against any and all direct or indirect liabilities or losses resulting from requests, directions, actions or inactions of or by you or your officers, employees or agents regarding your responsibilities hereunder or the purchase, redemption, transfer or registration of the Shares by or on behalf of customers. In turn, Nationwide, on behalf of the Funds, agrees to and does release, indemnify and hold you and your affiliates harmless from and against any and all direct or indirect liabilities or losses resulting from directions, actions or inactions of or by Nationwide, the Funds, or their respective officers, employees or agents regarding their responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. 6. Compensation In consideration for the services and facilities provided by you hereunder, Nationwide (on behalf of the Funds) will pay to you, and you will accept as full payment therefore, a fee at the annual rate designated in Appendix A of the average daily net assets of a Fund's Shares owned of record or beneficially by your customers from time to time for which you provide administrative support services hereunder. Such fee will be computed daily and payable monthly by Nationwide within thirty (30) days of receipt from you of a valid invoice (in excel format) that identifies, for each CUSIP of each Fund, the number of sub-accounts, participants or beneficial shareholders serviced by you and such other information as may be necessary to validate the fee payable. The fee rate stated above may be prospectively increased or decreased by the Funds and/or Nationwide, in their sole discretion, at any time upon notice to you. Further, Nationwide or a Fund may, in its sole discretion and without notice, suspend or withdraw the sale of such Shares, including the sale of such Shares to you for the account of any customer(s). Nationwide, in its sole discretion, may arrange for the payment to you of the fees under this Agreement directly by the Funds rather than through Nationwide. Quarterly and Other Reports 2

In addition, you will furnish Nationwide with such information as Nationwide or the Funds may reasonably request (including, without limitation, periodic certifications confirming the provision to customers of some or all of the services described herein), and will otherwise cooperate with Nationwide and the Funds (including, without limitation, any auditors designated by the Funds), in connection with the preparation of reports to the Trust's Board of Trustees concerning this Agreement and the monies paid or payable by Nationwide on behalf of the Funds pursuant hereto, as well as any other reports or filings that may be required by law. You agree, upon the reasonable request of Nationwide, to provide access during normal business hours to your facilities and records related to the services provided and the compensation payable hereunder, and to permit Nationwide to review the quality of such services provided and to respond to requests of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Nationwide agrees that all records obtained in connection with access to your facilities is your property and to maintain the confidentiality thereof. In particular, Nationwide agrees that no person having access to such records may use such records or information to solicit, directly or indirectly, any of your customers for any purpose. 7. Non-Exclusivity Both parties may enter into other similar Servicing Agreements with any other person or persons without the other's consent. 8. Representations and Warranties By your written acceptance of this Agreement, you represent, warrant and agree that: (i) all compensation payable to you hereunder is for administrative support services only; (ii) in no event will any of the compensation payable by Nationwide or the services provided by you hereunder be primarily intended to result in the sale of any Shares issued by a Fund; (iii) the compensation payable to you hereunder, together with any other compensation you receive from customers for services contemplated by this Agreement, will to the extent required be disclosed to your customers, and will not be excessive or unreasonable under the laws and instruments governing your relationships with your customers; and (iv) if you are subject to laws governing, among other things, the conduct of activities by federally chartered and supervised banks and other affiliated banking organizations, you will perform only those activities which are consistent with your statutory and regulatory obligations. 9.

This Agreement may be terminated as to the payments made on behalf of the Funds at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Administrative Services Plan or in any related agreements to the Administrative Services Plan (Disinterested Trustees) or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund, on at least sixty (60) days written notice to the parties to this Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that, in the context of Section 22 of the 1940 Act and the rules and public interpretations thereunder by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Staff), receipt by the Servicing Agent of any Instructions from the Client-shareholder prior to the Close of Trade on any Business Day shall be deemed to be receipt by the Funds of such Instructions solely for pricing purposes and shall cause purchases and sales to be deemed to occur at the Share Price for such Business Day, except as provided in 4(c) of the Manual Processing Procedures. Each Instruction shall be deemed to be accompanied by a representation by the Servicing Agent that it has received proper authorization from each Client-shareholder whose purchase, redemption, account transfer or exchange transaction is effected as a result of such Instruction. Fund/SERV-DCCS Processing Procedures 1. On each business day that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open for business on which the Funds determine their net asset values (Business Day), Nationwide shall accept, and effect changes in its records upon receipt of purchase, redemption, exchange, account transfer and registration instructions from the Servicing Agent electronically through Fund/SERV (Instructions) without supporting documentation from the Client-shareholder. On each Business Day, Nationwide shall accept for processing any Instructions from the Servicing Agent and shall process such Instructions in a timely manner. 2. Nationwide shall perform any and all duties, functions, procedures and responsibilities assigned to it under this Agreement and as otherwise established by the NSCC. Nationwide shall conduct each of the foregoing activities in a competent manner and in compliance with (a) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including NSCC Fund/SERV-DCCS rules and procedures relating to Fund/SERV; (b) the then-current Prospectus of a Fund; and (c) any provision relating to Fund/SERV in any other agreement of Nationwide that would affect its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 3.

The Servicing Agent certifies that all Instructions delivered to Nationwide on any Business Day shall have been received by the Servicing Agent from the Client-shareholder by the close of trading (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET)) on the Exchange (the Close of Trading) on such Business Day and that any Instructions received by it after the Close of Trading on any given Business Day will be transmitted to Nationwide on the next Business Day. Manual Processing Procedures 1. On each Business Day, the Servicing Agent may receive Instructions from the Client-shareholder for the purchase or redemption of shares of the Funds based solely upon receipt of such Instructions prior to the Close of Trading on that Business Day.

As noted in Paragraph 1 above, by 9:30 a.m. ET on TD+1 (Instruction Cutoff Time) and after the Servicing Agent has processed all approved transactions, the Servicing Agent will transmit to Nationwide via facsimile, telefax or electronic transmission or system-to-system, or by a method acceptable to the Servicing Agent and Nationwide, a report (the Instruction Report) detailing the Instructions that were received by the Servicing Agent prior to the Funds' daily determination of Share Price for each Fund (i.e., the Close of Trading) on Trade Date. (a) It is understood by the parties that all Instructions from the Client-shareholder shall be received and processed by the Servicing Agent in accordance with its standard transaction processing procedures. The Servicing Agent or its designees shall maintain records sufficient to identify the date and time of receipt of all Client-shareholder transactions involving the Funds and shall make or cause to be made such records available upon reasonable request for examination by the Funds or its designated representative or, at the request of the Funds, by appropriate governmental authorities. Under no circumstances shall the Servicing Agent change, alter or modify any Instructions received by it in good order.





(b) Following the completion of the transmission of any Instructions by the Servicing Agent to Nationwide by the Instruction Cutoff Time, the Servicing Agent will verify that the Instruction was received by Nationwide and trades are pending by utilizing a remote terminal or such other method acceptable to Nationwide. (c) In the event that an Instruction transmitted by the Servicing Agent on any Business Day is not received by Nationwide by the Instruction Cutoff Time, due to mechanical difficulties or for any other reason beyond the Servicing Agent's reasonable control, such Instruction shall nonetheless be treated by Nationwide as if it had been received by the Instruction Cutoff Time, provided that the Servicing Agent retransmits such Instruction electronically (by facsimile transmission or other means mutually agreed upon) to Nationwide and such Instruction is received by Nationwide's (or the Distributor's) financial control representative no later than 9:30 a.m. ET on TD+1.

(d) With respect to all Instructions, Nationwide (or the Distributor's financial control representative) will manually adjust a Fund's records for the Trade Date to reflect any Instructions sent by the Servicing Agent. (e) By no later than 4:00 p.m. on TD+1, and based on the information transmitted to Nationwide (or the Distributor's financial control representative) pursuant to Paragraph 3(c) above, the Servicing Agent will use its best efforts to verify that all Instructions provided to Nationwide (or the Distributor's financial control representative) on TD+1 were accurately received and that the trades for each Account were accurately completed and the Servicing Agent will use its best efforts to notify Nationwide of any discrepancies. 4. As set forth below, upon the timely receipt from the Servicing Agent of the Instructions, the Fund will execute the purchase or redemption transactions (as the case may be) at the Share Price for each Fund computed as of the Close of Trading on the Trade Date. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all purchase and redemption transactions will settle on TD+1. Settlements will be through net Federal Wire transfers to an account designated by a Fund. In the case of Instructions which constitute a net purchase order, the Servicing Agent shall, by 1:00 p.m. ET on TD+1, remit funds to the Fund's custodian in the amount necessary to cover such net purchase order. In the case of Instructions which constitute a net redemption order, Nationwide shall, by 1:00 p.m. ET on TD+1, remit funds to the Servicing Agent in the amount necessary to cover such net redemption order, provided that the Fund reserves the right to (i) delay settlement of redemptions for up to seven (7) Business Days after receiving a net redemption order in accordance with Section 22 of the 1940 Act and Rule 22c-1 thereunder, or (iii) suspend redemptions pursuant to the 1940 Act or as otherwise required by law. Settlements shall be in U.S. dollars and a Fund may pay redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of readily marketable securities that it holds in lieu of cash in conformity with applicable law or regulations.





(b) The Servicing Agent or such other party as may be designated, as record owner of each account (Record Owner) will be provided with all written confirmations required under federal and state securities laws. (c) On any Business Day when the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is closed, all communication and processing rules will be suspended for the settlement of Instructions. Instructions will be settled on the next Business Day on which the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is open. The original TD+1 Settlement Date will not apply. Rather, for purposes of this Paragraph 4(c) only, the Settlement Date will be the date on which the Instruction settles. (d) The Servicing Agent shall, upon receipt of any confirmation or statement concerning the accounts, promptly verify by use of the terminal or by such other method acceptable to Nationwide and the Servicing Agent the accuracy of the information contained therein against the information contained in the Servicing Agent's internal record-keeping system and shall promptly, but in no event not more than seven days, advise Nationwide in writing of any discrepancies between such information.
