Forum:Spell counters and effect negation

I have a question about spell counters and negating monster effects. If I have Magical Exemplar with something like 14 counters or so, and the opponent decides to use Effect Veiler before I have a chance to use those counters, do they get removed from Exemplar? In Tag Force, they do, but that uses OCG rulings in it's game system, not TCG. I don't think they'd get removed since they are not sustained on the monster by any effect in it's text. If negating the monster's effect negates it's text, that simply says that I cannot use the effect, not that it can't have counters from a previous time when it HAD an effect. I'm going to be playing a Spell Counter deck again so this is a big concern of mine. Nowhere on the Spell Counter page does it say anything about this. Any help is appreciated.
