The Adviser shall pay the Sub-Adviser monthly compensation computed daily at an annual rate equal to the following:

Portfolio(s)		Annual Sub-Advisory Fee Rate
Allocation Portfolios which shall consist of the EQ/Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Moderate Growth Allocation Portfolio and Other Portfolios^ identified directly below (collectively referred to as “Allocation Portfolios”): EQ/Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Growth Allocation Portfolio		0.25% of the Allocation Portfolios’ average daily net assets up to and including $1 billion; and 0.23% of the Allocation Portfolios’ average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion*
EQ/Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mid Cap Value Portfolio		0.40% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to and including $200 million; and 0.38% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $200 million**

^ Other Portfolios are other registered investment companies (or series or portions thereof) that are advised by the Adviser and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser, which are classified as “Allocation Portfolios”

The daily sub-advisory fee applicable to each Portfolio is the portion of the daily sub-advisory fee for the related portfolios that is equal to the Portfolio’s net assets relative to the aggregate net assets of the related portfolios, including the Portfolio, used in the fee calculation for that day.

** The daily sub-advisory fee for the Portfolio is calculated by multiplying the aggregate net assets of the Portfolio at the close of the immediately preceding business day by the Annual Sub-Advisory Fee Rate calculated as set forth above and then dividing the result by the number of days in the year.
