Annual fee for each additional international portfolio | $65,000 |
Annual fee for each additional class | $15,000 |
Annual fee for each additional sub-account | $10,000 |
For purposes of establishing the base Annual Fund Complex Minimum of $1,890,000 set forth above, the term “Fund Complex” as used herein refers to each of the Portfolios set forth on Schedule A of this Agreement as of September 1, 2013.
The term “international portfolio” as used herein refers to any portfolio consisting of greater than 30% of its assets traded and held in a custodial account in non-United States securities markets.
The term “sub-account” as used herein refers to a separate account on SEI’s accounting system through which SEI provides segregated profit/loss reporting within a Portfolio as directed by Customer.
The addition / closure of a new portfolio, class or sub-account after the Amendment No. 10 Effective Date will increase / decrease the Annual Fund Complex Minimum by the amount stated under ANNUAL MINIMUM FEES. It is Customer’s and SEI’s understanding that Customer has no current plans to substantially increase the number of portfolios listed under SCHEDULE A. In the event Customer decides to add more than 5 new portfolios to SCHEDULE A during the term of this Agreement, Customer and SEI will discuss the implementation of a nominal per portfolio minimum to cover SEI’s expenses associated with opening any new portfolio after the fifth new portfolio added to SCHEDULE A.
OUT OF POCKET FEES:
Customer will reimburse certain out-of-pocket costs incurred by SEI as set forth in Article 3 of the Agreement.
