Confidential Treatment Requested

Clients and Program Account Owners, the parties agree that upon the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date, they shall begin discussions in good faith to determine whether to renew the Agreement, subject to any adjustments to the terms and conditions herein, including rates and charges, agreed upon by the parties and as described further at Exhibit B hereto. In the event that Envestnet elects not to renew the Agreement, it shall perform all services and meet all requirements described in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto to FundQuest for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days and provide the Transfer Services (defined below). Further Envestnet shall provide the necessary assistance and as further detailed at Exhibit A to ensure the orderly transfer of Platform Services to a new service provider chosen by FundQuest. Such assistance (the “Transfer Services” as defined in Exhibit A) shall be for a period of six (6) months (the “Transfer Period”).

Confidential Treatment Requested

(ii)

The parties agree that, from time to time during the Term, FundQuest may request, or Envestnet may propose, that Envestnet implement a change to the Platform Services (each, a “Platform Change”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Platform Change shall be any change to the Platform Services by Envestnet which is not currently covered by this Agreement and which has not previously been agreed by FundQuest and Envestnet. A Platform Change may require an increase or decrease in the fees and expenses and/or an increase or decrease in the work Envestnet is to perform or services Envestnet is to provide, including, without limitation: (a) a change to the scope or functionality of the Platform Services, such as a Platform feature enhancement; (b) the addition of a new program option to the Platform Services; (c) a material change in the prioritization or manner in which Envestnet is performing the Platform Services that causes an increase in cost or development work. For any Platform Changes, the parties shall enter into an addendum to this Agreement specifying the Platform Changes and pricing agreed upon by the parties. Such pricing shall be in line with current market practice. Nothing herein shall require a party to adopt a Platform Change without written addendum signed by both parties. In the event that FundQuest decides not to adopt a Platform Change, Envestnet shall continue providing the same level of Platform Services which has been agreed to with FundQuest and as specified herein.

(iii)

In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that the occurrence of the following events may require a modification to the Platform Services and/or an increase in time or performance, suspension of any performance standards (each, an “Adjustment Event”), including applicable service levels, and/or an increase or decrease in the fees and expenses: (a) a material change to or deficiency in the information that one party has supplied to the other party; (b) a failure by one party and/or any of its third party providers to perform any of their respective responsibilities under this Agreement in a timely manner; (c) an event that materially changes the service needs or requirements of FundQuest on or after the Effective Date; (d) circumstances beyond the reasonable control of either of the parties, including acts of God or other Force Majeure Events (as defined herein); (e) a change in applicable law or government regulation; or (f) any assumption described in Exhibit A not being fully realized. Any Adjustment Event, and its impact to this Agreement, must be agreed in writing by both parties as an addendum to this Agreement.

In asserting an Adjustment Event: (i) the party claiming such event must clearly identify the impact of the Adjustment Event on the increase/decrease of services each party performs in relation to the cost of providing such services; and (ii) such event must have materially changed the cost burden of the party

Confidential Treatment Requested

claiming an Adjustment Event and cannot be based on cost saving measures of the other party that do not result in a material change to the terms specified herein.

General Assumptions for Platform Services. The terms set forth in this Agreement are based upon information furnished by FundQuest to Envestnet. FundQuest represents that it believes to the best of its knowledge that such information is accurate and complete. However, if any such information should prove to be inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect at any time, this Agreement shall be subject to equitable adjustments, including the fees set forth herein. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to ensure that the pricing is adjusted accordingly.

For the avoidance of doubt this Section 5(G), “Confidential Information”, shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Regulation S-P. The parties acknowledge that financial institutions are subject to certain laws and regulations regarding the privacy and protection of consumer information, and that any receipt or use of personal information by the parties is also subject to compliance with such laws and regulations.

(vi)

Envestnet may perform the Platform Services with personnel of Envestnet or any of its affiliates (collectively, “Envestnet Entities”) or with subcontractors of Envestnet Entities. Prior to launch of the Program and during any FundQuest audit, inspection and review of Envestnet, Envestnet and FundQuest shall discuss any subcontractors engaged to provide a material part of the Platform Services or that will have access to FundQuest Confidential Information.

At any time, FundQuest may submit a written request for a copy of the FundQuest Data. Following receipt of such request, Envestnet shall send FundQuest a copy of FundQuest Data stored on the FQ Platform. Without relieving FundQuest’s requirement to maintain all books and records in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and any other applicable regulations, in the event there are any periods of time during the provision of Platform Services where FundQuest does not have a complete set of any records generated or received by Envestnet in performing the Platform Services and that are required under Rule 204-2 of the rules promulgated under the Advisers Act (including, without limitation, emails and written correspondence, trade tickets, error runs, journals, ledgers, FundQuest Data, etc.), Envestnet shall reasonably assist FundQuest by providing FundQuest with such records, as required by FundQuest, then in Envestnet’s possession.

FundQuest acknowledges and agrees that it is a “sponsor” within the meaning of the rule. The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to all securities and funds in the FQ Client’s account(s), each FQ Client shall retain, to the same extent as if the FQ Client held the securities and funds in the account(s) outside of the advisory programs, the right to: (i) withdraw securities or cash, (ii) vote securities, or delegate the authority to vote securities to another person; (iii) receive in a timely manner from the custodian and/or the executing broker, a written confirmation or other notification of each securities transaction, and all other documents required by law to be provided to security holders; and (iv) proceed directly as a security holder against the issuer of any security in the FQ Client’s account(s) and not be obligated to join any other party or entity involved in the operation of the program, or any other FQ Client, as a condition precedent to initiating such proceeding.

Confidential Treatment Requested

of notice of the commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the other party (“indemnifying party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof as soon as practicable after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim has been served upon the indemnified party; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this section, except to the extent that the omission results in a failure of actual notice to the indemnifying party and such indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result of the failure to give such notice. The indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party in the proceeding, and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (2) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

8.	TERMINATION

Breach. If either party should materially fail to fulfill its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement (a “Breach”), the breaching party shall have 60 calendar days to remedy such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party. In the event that the breaching party fails to so remedy such breach, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. If the non-breaching party is FundQuest, Envestnet shall be obliged to provide such Transfer Services as described herein and fulfill its obligations for the Transfer Period. If the non-breaching party is Envestnet, Envestnet shall give FundQuest the lesser of (i) six (6) months or (ii) two fiscal quarter endings prior written notice of its decision to terminate this Agreement, and shall provide Transfer Services provided FundQuest pay for such Transfer Services in advance on a monthly basis.

Enhanced Cure Period: Except for breaches involving Envestnet’s willful misconduct or fraud, FundQuest shall allow Envestnet the following enhanced cure period for any Breach FundQuest (the “Enhanced Cure Period”) prior to FundQuest’s right to payment of the Deferred Payment and remaining Progress Payments (as defined in Exhibit B of this Agreement) vesting:

Confidential Treatment Requested

(i) Envestnet shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of such notification to cure a Breach, except that, with respect to any Breach which would otherwise have a sixty (60) day cure period and cannot reasonably be cured within such sixty (60) day period, Envestnet shall (x) institute a plan to cure the Breach to the reasonable satisfaction of FundQuest, (y) notify FundQuest of the terms of the plan, and (z) have such further period of time to cure such Breach as is set forth in the plan and would be required, in the exercise of good faith and all commercially reasonable efforts, in order to cure such Breach; provided, however, that such Envestnet shall, in fact, exercise such good faith and such commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to cure such Breach. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties the Enhanced Cure Period shall not exceed ninety days from original notice of Breach.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, either party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon giving notification thereof in the event the other party is adjudged insolvent or bankrupt, or upon the institution of any proceeding against the other party seeking relief, reorganization or arrangement under any laws relating to insolvency, or for the making of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of any of the other party’s property or assets, or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the other party’s business.

Termination for Force Majeure. If Envestnet is excused under Section 11(P) from performance of its obligations representing a system failure where a major function of the platform is non-operational with no reasonably acceptable work around for a continuous period in excess of fifteen (15) days, then FundQuest may terminate this Agreement immediately on service of written notice, without penalty or liability. Termination under this Section 8(C) shall not represent a Breach by either party.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement or the expiration of the Term, Envestnet shall provide to FundQuest reasonable termination assistance requested by FundQuest, as described in Exhibit A (including, without limitation, Transfer Services) to facilitate the orderly transfer of responsibility under this Agreement to FundQuest or its designee. FundQuest shall pay Envestnet reasonable commercial rates to be agreed between the parties for work beyond the scope of the Platform Services for any such termination assistance services in addition to any other fees payable hereunder. FundQuest shall promptly pay Envestnet for all fees and expenses properly incurred under this Agreement, provided that such payment shall not affect any other rights and remedies either party may have under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement which give the parties rights beyond termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.

Transitioned Employees. Envestnet has committed to make twenty-five employment offers to FundQuest employees. Terms of employment by Envestnet shall be at a minimum on substantially the same terms and conditions as those currently provided to the FundQuest employees, provided that such terms and conditions are at-will employment and within the range of generally accepted industry standards. Employee benefits (e.g. health insurance, retirement plans, etc.) shall be converted to Envestnet corporate standards at Envestnet’s discretion.

The Parties acknowledge that the breach of this Section 11.M shall give rise to irreparable injury to the other that cannot adequately be compensated in damages. Accordingly, the Parties agree that injunctive relief shall be an appropriate remedy to prevent violation of each party’s rights and/or obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not preclude a party from hiring any such employee who (i) initiates discussions regarding employment without any prior direct solicitations by a party, (ii) responds to a public announcement or advertisement placed by a party or (iii) has been terminated by a party prior to commencement of employment discussions with the other party.

The foregoing shall not prohibit Envestnet from soliciting existing Envestnet clients (e.g. investment advisor or financial intermediary) that are also FQ Clients for the provision of services or programs. This Section 11 N shall not restrict Envestnet from rendering any services to any Program Account Owner introduced to Envestnet by another investment advisor or other financial intermediary provided that Envestnet did not disclose the identity of the Program Account Owner to such investment advisor or financial intermediary.

B. System Availability.

(i) The Envestnet system shall be Available not less than 99.0% of Scheduled Hours (calculated on a monthly basis):

“Scheduled Hours” means 24 hours, 7 days a week, exclusive of scheduled maintenance outages (short intervals that vary depending on number/severity of patches required). For quarterly scheduled maintenance Envestnet will notify FundQuest reasonably in advance.

“Available” means that FundQuest, FQ Client, XXX and/or Program Account Owners during Scheduled Hours are able to log-in, navigate and utilize the web-site, from initial point of access at log-in page through log-out (unless the access problem is due/attributed to malfunctions, deficiencies, problems or issues at an a non-Envestnet network problem, end user workstation, or in a system or medium not operated by and beyond the reasonable control of Envestnet).

C. System Functionality.

(i) Major function: A platform function that is necessary for a financial advisor or a home-office administrator to support the activities of proposal generation and account management. Examples include the ability to create an investment proposal, trade an advisor-directed model, or access core performance reports.

(i) Minor function: Any non-major function. Work-around: An alternate approach to operating the software that does not require a significant number of additional steps.

D. Severity Levels.

The following severity levels are used for determining patch procedures:

Severity Level 1:

A system failure where any major function of the platform in non-operational and there is no known work-around. A problem with this severity requires immediate attention and will be patched immediately as soon as a fix can be determined.

Confidential Treatment Requested

Severity Level 2:

A system failure that results in a) a major function of the platform to no longer operate as designed but a “work-around” exists, b) a minor function of the platform to no longer operate as designed and no “work-around” exists, or c) a significant degradation in performance. A problem of this severity requires prompt attention (within two hours of discovery), and will be patched after normal business hours as soon as a fix is determined.

Severity Level 3:

A system failure that results in a) a minor function of the platform to no longer operate as designed and a “work-around” exists, b) slightly degraded performance, c) the display of incomplete results, or d) the display of inaccurate but not potentially damaging results. A problem of this severity will be corrected in the next regularly scheduled release. In some cases, a problem of this severity will be patched after normal business hours if a fix is determined that can be safely applied with no risk to any other function, and the fix is explicitly requested by a customer. An example of this would be the change to the text in an HTML document, or the correction of a data element that is specific to a particular advisor or firm.

Severity Level 4:

All other system failures; for example, platform operation inconsistent with technical documentation, misspelled words, minor navigational errors, or minor graphical or display errors.

E. Maintenance Windows.

A nightly window (5:30 p.m. - 10:00p.m.) and a quarterly scheduled maintenance window (2:00 p.m. Saturday - 8:00 a.m. Sunday).
