Re: Investment Adviser Operating Expenses
Reimbursement Agreement
Gentlemen:
Since the inception of operations of the Navellier Performance Funds (the
"Fund") the Adviser has paid the operating expenses of the Fund without
requiring reimbursement from the Fund. The purpose of this letter is to obtain
an acknowledgement from the Fund that (i) the Adviser Navellier &
Associates, Inc. is under no obligation to pay such operating expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser will continue to pay the Fund's
operating expenses without requiring reimbursement from the Fund for the year
ending December 31, 2005 of expenses advanced which total more than 0.99% for
the Mid Cap I Shares, 1.34% for the Mid Cap Growth Portfolio and 1.49% for each
of the Aggressive Micro Cap Portfolio and for the Fundamental A Portfolio of the
Fund's total operating expenses. The Advisor also agrees to waive reimbursement
for expenses that exceed 1.49% for the year 2006 for the Fundamental A
Portfolio. The Adviser will be only entitled to reimbursement of expenses
advanced to the extent that such reimbursement plus other Fund operating
expenses do not exceed those percentages per annum. If the Fund's total
operating expenses exceed those percentages per annum, the excess expenses
advanced will not be reimbursed. The Adviser reserves the right to require
reimbursement in the future for operating expenses of the Fund at any time upon
notice to the Fund that some or all past and presently accrued operating
expenses of the Fund shall be required to be reimbursed to the Adviser, or paid
directly by the Fund.
If the foregoing accurately reflects the Fund's understanding regarding the
matters discussed herein, please sign and return the enclosed copy of this
letter.
Very truly yours,
NAVELLIER & ASSOCIATES, INC.
