other party’s Confidential Information only to perform its obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information only within its organization (including its affiliates) and only to those of its or its affiliates’ employees who need to know such information in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to those of its subcontractors, consultants and agents who have executed an agreement containing a provision substantially conforming to the confidentiality terms of this Agreement and who reasonably need to know such information in order to perform obligations under this Agreement.

The indemnifying party shall have the right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement of such Claim, provided that if the indemnifying party fails or elects not to either defend or settle such Claim, the indemnified party may defend and/or settle such Claim and the indemnifying party agrees to pay to the indemnified party any and all damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred and/or amounts paid in settlement by the indemnified party. The indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, defense and settlement of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. Upon request, the indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, with the indemnifying party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim, and any appeal arising therefrom. The indemnified party has the right to review and approve any counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, selected by the indemnifying party to defend the indemnified party and the terms and conditions of any settlement affecting the indemnified party, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party shall not agree to any settlement that imposes restrictions on the indemnified party or requires any action by the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(d) In the event of any Claim of the type described in Section 10(b)(ii) above, Envestnet shall, at its option and expense, (i) procure for National and Advisors the right to continue to use the Customized Envestnet Platform, or (ii) replace or modify the Customized Envestnet Platform or portion thereof so it no longer infringes or represents a misappropriation of such copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark or other proprietary or contractual right, so long as the utility to National and Advisors of the Customized Envestnet Platform and the performance of the Customized Envestnet Platform are not materially impaired and the Customized Envestnet Platform continues to conform to the Specifications.

EXHIBIT A

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS PROGRAM & MULTI MANAGER ACCOUNTS PROGRAM

This Exhibit A is an attachment to the Agreement by and between Envestnet and National and describes certain investment advisory services (described below) offered by Envestnet to Advisors. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

1. Money Manager Selection and Monitoring. Envestnet has established contractual relationships with various money managers and may establish contractual relationships with new money managers during the Term (“Money Managers”). Envestnet will identify such Money Managers and provide Advisors’ Clients with the ability to access the private money management services of the Money Managers, either directly using a separate managed account for each Money Manager (the “Separate Accounts Program”) or indirectly using a single managed account traded by Envestnet based on the instructions of the relevant Money Manager(s) (the “MMA Program”). Advisors shall have no obligation to use any Money Managers. Envestnet shall not be obligated to maintain contractual relations with any particular Money Manager, and Envestnet expressly reserves the right to terminate contractual relationships with existing Money Managers, enter into contractual relationships with new Money Managers, and/or to permit Money Managers to terminate contractual relations with Envestnet.

2. Money Manager Evaluation. Envestnet has developed and implemented a program to collect and report data on investment style and philosophy, past performance, and personnel of each pre-selected Money Manager on the Envestnet Platform. Any Advisor may request that Envestnet evaluate certain Money Managers, which evaluation Envestnet may undertake in its sole discretion. The Programs described herein shall provide Advisors with sufficient data and/or reports on each Money Manager being evaluated to allow Advisors to evaluate the

competence and experience of each Money Manager in accordance with then-current industry standards. Envestnet acknowledges that National will not undertake any evaluation or due diligence of any Money Manager in connection with a Program or the Services.

3. Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) National acknowledges that Envestnet does not independently verify the accuracy of the Money Managers’ responses to Envestnet’s due diligence questionnaires or Clients’ responses to the risk profiling questionnaires or other information gathering conducted by Advisors; and (b) Envestnet will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to a Money Manager’s investment performance. Neither Envestnet nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, or others associated with the Separate Accounts Program or the MMA Program described herein shall be liable for any loss incurred with respect to Client’s account, except where such loss directly results from Envestnet’s negligence or willful misconduct. National acknowledges and understands that there is no guarantee of performance or investment results hereunder or with any Envestnet services or products, and that the past performance of any Envestnet services or products (including, without limitation, the Separate Accounts Program and the MMA Program) is not an indication of any future results.

4. Fees & Billing. The fees and billing procedures for the services described in this Exhibit are described in Exhibit K.

EXHIBIT B

This Exhibit B is an attachment to the Agreement by and between Envestnet and National and describes certain investment advisory services (described below) offered by Envestnet through National’s affiliated Advisors.

1. National SMA Supermarket Program. National may also provide certain portions of Envestnet’s Separate Accounts Program through its Advisors on a reduced cost basis as described in this Exhibit B (the “Supermarket Program”).

The provision of the Services by Envestnet under both Versions of the Supermarket Program will be governed by the same terms applicable to Envestnet’s provision of the Separate Account Program aside from the

specific services and capabilities provided by Envestnet under each Program.

2. Services Not Included. For the avoidance of doubt, Advisors who choose to offer either Version of the Supermarket Program will not be entitled to utilize any of the other Programs available through Envestnet through this Agreement and will not have access to Envestnet’s Investment Counselors for assistance in developing Client proposals unless mutually agreed upon by Envestnet and National.

EXHIBIT C

WRAP FEE PROGRAM

This Exhibit C is an attachment to the Agreement by and between Envestnet and National and describes certain investment advisory services (described below) offered by Envestnet to Advisors. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

1. Fund Screening and Asset Allocation. Clients of Advisors, through the Envestnet Platform, shall have access to certain mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) for Client investment. For Wrap Fee Program providers other than Strategic Advisers Inc. (“SAI”), Envestnet has developed a method for screening and selecting mutual funds by performance and risk characteristics, asset class, minimum fund size, inception date, manager tenure, load fees and security holdings (“Screening Method”). The information obtained by the relevant Advisor in consultation with each Client will be used by the Customized Envestnet Platform to determine a risk profile for such Client and for assigning such Client to a target asset mix (“TAM”). Envestnet shall be responsible for the selection of the third parties that provide Wrap Fee Programs to Clients and for the algorithm that is used by the Customized Envestnet Platform to assign a particular Client to a particular TAM. For any Wrap Fee Program for which SAI performs subadvisory activities to Envestnet, such activities and related matters shall be set forth in a separate agreement between Envestnet and SAI. Envestnet acknowledges that National will not undertake to screen or render any opinion on the screening or suitability of any investment for a Program or the Services.

2. Program Options. In addition to appointing Envestnet to manage Client’s assets in the Wrap Fee Program on a discretionary basis, Client may select one or more Investment Models (see Exhibit E) that will be implemented by Envestnet through the Wrap Fee Program structure.

3. Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted

by law: (a) National acknowledges that Envestnet does not independently verify the accuracy of Clients’ responses to the risk profiling questionnaires or other information gathering conducted by the relevant Advisor or any information provided by the mutual funds included in the Program; and (b) Envestnet will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to the investment performance of any mutual fund or ETF made available hereunder or any portfolio manager involved herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Envestnet is responsible for the construction of each portfolio TAM of which each investment is a component (provided that Envestnet shall not be responsible for any decisions by an Advisor or National overriding the investment instruments selected by SAI or another third party provider), and Envestnet is responsible for determining the suitability of the TAM selected for a Client. Neither Envestnet nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or others associated with the Wrap Fee Program described herein shall be liable for any loss incurred with respect to the account, except where such loss directly results from Envestnet’s negligence or willful misconduct. National acknowledges and understands that there is no guarantee of performance or investment results hereunder or with any Envestnet services or products, and that the past performance of any Envestnet services or products is not an indication of any future results.

EXHIBIT D

NON-PROGRAM ASSETS

This Exhibit D is an attachment to the Agreement by and between Envestnet and National. The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that Clients may have assets held outside of the Separate Accounts Program, the MMA Program and the Wrap Fee Program (“Non-Program Assets”) which are held at a custodian for which Envestnet has developed an electronic data retrieval interface (“Reporting Custodian”) and for which an Advisor may desire to receive quarterly performance reports (“Reporting Only Services”). National understands and agrees that the only securities eligible to receive Reporting Only Services are mutual funds and marketable securities for which Envestnet does not provide investment advisory services and that Envestnet does not verify the accuracy or completeness of the data regarding Non-Program Assets received from Reporting Custodians. Envestnet hereby agrees to make available Reporting Only Services to each Advisor with respect to such Non-Program Assets, upon the request of such Advisor. Reports on Non-Program Assets will be in the form then generally in use by Envestnet. Fees for Reporting Only Services are set forth below. The Services described in this Exhibit D shall not be deemed to be investment advisory services.

 

1. Extraction and Display of Custodian Account Information. Upon the request of an Advisor, Envestnet shall extract account data for Non-Program Assets from the Reporting Custodian’s data systems and display such data on the Envestnet Platform. If such Advisor chooses to have such data extracted and displayed on the Envestnet Platform, then the Advisor will be given access to all of the functionality of the Envestnet Platform, except for the fund screening and asset allocation tools, and Envestnet shall provide billing services specified below. To the extent an Advisor requests such data extraction, the fees specified below in this Exhibit D shall apply.

2. Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, National acknowledges and understands that the services described in this Exhibit D relate only to the extraction and display of Non-Program Assets information. National understands and agrees that Envestnet shall not act as an investment advisor with respect to the Non-Program Assets and that neither Envestnet nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, or others associated with Envestnet shall

be liable for any loss incurred with respect to the Non-Program Assets, except where such loss directly results from Envestnet’s negligence or willful misconduct. National further understands and agrees that it shall be the responsibility of a Client’s Advisor, and not Envestnet’s responsibility, to enter all transactions for Non-Program Assets through the relevant custodian’s trading platform and that National shall not submit orders requested by an Advisor for the Non-Program Assets through the Envestnet Platform. Envestnet understands and agrees that National shall execute orders requested by an Advisor only for assets or accounts for which National serves as Custodian, and that National shall have no responsibility for assets or accounts held by other custodians. National understands and agrees that there is no guarantee of performance or investment results hereunder, and that Envestnet shall not be responsible for any trading errors, data transmission errors or other errors beyond Envestnet’s control.

This Exhibit E is an attachment to the Agreement by and between Envestnet and National and describes additional services (described below) offered by Envestnet to Advisors. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

1. Investment Models. Subject to National’s written authorization, Envestnet may make available to Clients through the Advisors certain investment models (“Investment Models”) created by one or more independent investment advisers (each, a “Model Provider”). Each Model Provider has created for Envestnet one or more Investment Models that may include the use of mutual funds, exchange traded funds, individual securities or a combination of these instruments. The Investment Models are designed to track Clients’ risk tolerance.

2. Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, National agrees and acknowledges that although Envestnet is the fiduciary for the Investment Models and therefore responsible for the decision to use the Investment Model selected for each Client, Envestnet has selected the various Model Providers to design and update the Investment Models. Envestnet does not have the authority to make changes to a Model Provider’s Investment Models, and Envestnet will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to the performance or non-performance of the Investment Models. Neither Envestnet nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, or others associated with the Investment Models described herein shall be liable for any loss incurred with respect to the account, except where such loss directly results from Envestnet’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. National and each Advisor acknowledge and understand that there is no guarantee of performance or investment results hereunder or with any Envestnet services or products, and that the past performance of any Envestnet services or products is not an indication of any future results.

3. Responsibilities of Advisor. National acknowledges that Envestnet shall require each Advisor to assume the following responsibilities in connection with offering the services described in this Exhibit, and Envestnet understands and agrees that National shall have no responsibility for monitoring or ensuring any Advisor’s compliance with such responsibilities:

(a) Delivery and Offer of Form ADV, Part II. Each Advisor shall deliver (or delegate to the appropriate investment advisor representative the responsibility to deliver) to each Client at or before the time Client invests funds in the Investment Models, a copy of Envestnet’s Form ADV, Part II (or Schedule H, as appropriate) and the a copy of the relevant Model Provider’s Form ADV, Part II. Annually thereafter, the relevant Advisor shall

offer to deliver, and deliver upon request, a copy of Envestnet’s Form ADV, Part II (or Schedule H, as appropriate) and the Model Provider’s Form ADV, Part II.

(b) Protection of Investment Models. Each Advisor acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Models are to be protected as Confidential Information. No Advisor will publish, transmit, disclose, copy, redistribute or otherwise make the Investment Models or information pertaining to the Investment Models or any portion thereof, available to any person or entity other than such Advisor and such Advisor’s affiliates and employees, unless such Advisor obtains Envestnet’s prior written consent.

(c) Communications with the Model Providers. Any requests for information or other communications with the Model Providers must be directed to Envestnet. Each Advisor agrees not to initiate communications with any Model Provider related to the Investment Models.

(d) Advertising. Each Advisor agrees to comply with Envestnet’s written instructions and the relevant Model Provider’s written instructions with respect to advertising and promotion of the Investment Models. No Advisor will refer to or describe Envestnet, such Model Provider or the Investment Models in any advertisements, brochures, literature or other written materials without obtaining the prior written approval of Envestnet and the relevant Model Provider. No Advisor shall create advertising materials, or sell, license, publish or advertise any information related to Envestnet, a Model Provider or the Investment Models without the written consent of Envestnet and such Model Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, Envestnet may make available to Advisors certain marketing materials, which will have been pre-approved by Envestnet and the relevant Model Provider.

4. Compensation of the Model Providers. Envestnet may compensate the Model Providers by allocating a portion of such Model Provider’s Investment Models Fee to the Model Provider in exchange for the Model Provider’s services.

5. Termination of Relationship. Each Advisor acknowledges that if a Model Provider terminates its agreement with Envestnet regarding the Investment Models, either by its own choice or upon Envestnet’s request, Envestnet shall have the option of terminating Clients’ participation in the Investment Models, selecting a new Model Provider for the Client’s account or acting

Envestnet will provide National with a completed incident report (in writing or via email) within one business day after resolution of a Critical and Major incident.

D. Hosting Overview.

Envestnet contracts with third-party providers for server space, power, light, air conditioning, and physical security.

In the greater Chicago area, Envestnet has selected Navisite (http://www.navisite.com) as its primary hosting partner. Navisite was selected based upon their ability to provide enterprise level services. Navisite provides facility and power to allow Envestnet to maintain a state-of-the-art production environment. The primary production environment used to deploy the Customized Envestnet Platform is located in the Chicago area Navisite facility.

Navisite provides 7x24 manned security operations at their facilities. They require card key access as well as biometric verification before admittance to the facility.

Note: Navisite provides only collocation facilities. All systems, networks, applications, communications, and network security are managed exclusively by Envestnet personnel. Navisite personnel do not have log-on access to any Envestnet computer, server or network device.

E. Data Communications Overview.

Data communications infrastructure used by the Customized Envestnet Platform has been designed by Envestnet with fault tolerance as its highest priority. Envestnet has, and will maintain, dedicated, redundant DS3 and Tl links into the Navisite production facility from two different communication vendors in a BGP configuration providing access to Customized Envestnet Platform in the event there is failure on one of the provider circuits.

F. Enterprise Monitoring Overview.

Envestnet uses a number of commercial products and services to monitor the operation of the Customized Envestnet Platform. The health and condition of servers and the applications running on those servers is monitored by Argent Guardian which sends email/pager alerts to Envestnet staff and also takes selective self-correcting action. Network services and server connectivity is monitored by WhatsUp Gold and PRTG which also sends email/pager alerts of abnormal conditions to Envestnet staff.

In addition, other software tools may also be employed by Envestnet to monitor and pro-actively alert staff to potential problems that could affect availability of services and site performance.

G. External/Independent Monitoring Overview.

Envestnet uses external monitoring services provided by Keynote Systems (http://www.keynote.com) to monitor certain performance and availability characteristics of the Customized Envestnet Platform. Envestnet and Keynote Systems, Inc. validate and ensure site connectivity and a favorable end-user experience for users of the Customized Envestnet Platform. This Keynote service provides discrete site measurement and aggregated comparisons to other sites using the same service. Envestnet shall provide National with copies of all reports relating to the availability and response time of the Customized Envestnet Platform that Keynote Systems provides to Envestnet.

H. Data Backup and Recovery Overview.

The preservation of client information is built on two guiding principles: data protection with copies of information distributed in multiple locations, and high-availability through redundancy.

The production environment for the Customized Envestnet Platform uses fault-tolerant computer systems and RAID 5 disk arrays to minimize interruptions due to hardware failures.

There is a configuration of additional computers in hot stand-by mode at the Navisite collocation facility kept in-sync with the production environment in case there is a malfunction in the primary server group that negatively affects availability or performance of the Customized Envestnet Platform.

There is an alternate, second group of hot stand-by servers kept in-sync with the production environment in a different location in downtown Chicago in the event that the Navisite collocation facility becomes completely unavailable.

These environments are tested routinely by Envestnet during extended hardware and systems maintenance windows by moving production off-hours between the discrete computer system environments.

Envestnet maintains its own DNS servers on multiple, different network segments allowing flexibility in directing the production environments between different logical or physical locations.

Data in the production environment is protected by multiple backups using multiple methods to ensure data integrity.

 

21


Confidential Treatment Requested

 

As described above, data is duplicated to two other hot stand-by servers, one in the co-location facility and one in the Chicago facility, for a total of three server groupings.

Full, complete database backups and regular file backups are also performed daily by Envestnet. The disk copies of these backups are kept online and copied to tape as well.

Additionally, electronic vaulting in near real-time is performed on an ongoing basis of all data and is sent electronically to a Iron Mountain™, an offsite facility, and each copy of the complete data is kept for various retention periods, the longest being seven years.

In summary, Envestnet provides multiple systems environments in multiple locations. Data backup is achieved by data synchronization in multiple systems environment, by disk-to-disk backup, by disk-to-tape backup, and finally by electronic vaulting to a 3rd party service provider.

I. Systems and Application Maintenance Overview.

Standard Maintenance: in order to facilitate changes, enhancements or improvements to the hardware, systems and application environment, Envestnet allocates the following scheduled times: (i) beginning at 9:00 pm Eastern time on the second and third Thursday of a month through 3:00 am Eastern Time on the immediately following Friday; and (ii) beginning at 11:00 pm Eastern time on Saturday through 5:00 am Eastern time on the immediately following Sunday. Note: these maintenance windows are not always used, but Envestnet Asset Management reserves these times for scheduled maintenance.

Envestnet will notify National at least twenty-four hours in advance of any scheduled maintenance activities within such maintenance windows. Envestnet will not notify users of the Customized Envestnet Platform of planned outages for scheduled maintenance. During any period in which the Customized Envestnet Platform is not available due to maintenance activities, Envestnet shall take such steps as are necessary so that when a Streetscape user attempts to access the Customized Envestnet Platform, such user will see a screen indicating the Customized Envestnet Platform is not available. The text and design of such message shall be subject to National’s review and approval. In addition, Envestnet will to the extent possible use the same or similar message in the event the Customized Envestnet Platform is unavailable due to any other reason.

J. Escalation Process.

Envestnet’s Client Services Group (“CSG”) in Chicago maintains a staff of highly skilled individuals who are equipped with tools to answer questions regarding all aspects of the operation of the Customized Envestnet Platform.

In matters where additional resources are required to resolve client issues, Client Services Representatives use service tracking software tools to manage requests for action by other departments within Envestnet’s organization.

Client Services Representatives will escalate an issue to the manager of the appropriate departments and will utilize the Client Services Manager to resolve any issue in a timely manner. Envestnet’s standard policy is to provide same-day response to all client inquiries whenever possible.

Standard Escalation Process:

 

Level I:    Client Service Representative
Level II:    Client Services Manager
Level III:    Senior Management of Envestnet

ENVESTNET’S DISASTER CONTINGENCY PLAN

Disaster Recovery and Business Resumption.

Disaster recovery is built on two guiding principles: data protection with copies of data distributed in multiple locations, and high-availability through redundancy.

The Platform Environment:

The production environment is in a hardened co-location facility in suburban Chicago. The facility provides redundant power, air conditioning, communications as well as security.

The production environment uses fault-tolerant computer systems and RAID 5 disk arrays to minimize interruptions due to hardware failures.

There is a configuration of additional computers in hot stand-by mode at the co-location facility kept in-sync with the production environment in case there is a malfunction in the primary server group that negatively affects availability or performance.

There is an alternate, second group of hot stand-by servers kept in-sync with the production environment in a different location in downtown Chicago in the event that the suburban co-location facility becomes completely unavailable.

These environments are tested routinely during extended hardware and systems maintenance windows by moving production off-hours between the discrete computer system environments.

Envestnet Asset Management maintains its own DNS servers on multiple, different network segments allowing flexibility in directing the production environments between different logical or physical locations.

Data Protection:

Data in the production environment is protected by multiple backups using multiple methods to ensure data integrity.

As described above, data is duplicated to two other hot stand-by servers, one in the co-location facility and one in the Chicago facility, for a total of three server groupings.

Full, complete database backups and regular file backups are also performed daily. The disk copies of these backups are kept online and copied to tape as well.

Additionally, electronic vaulting in near real-time is performed on an ongoing basis of all data and is sent electronically to a Iron Mountain™, an offsite facility, and each copy of the complete data is kept for various retention periods, the longest being seven years.

1. Security Procedures. Envestnet shall implement appropriate system and data security procedures (including firewalls and other software and hardware) that are mutually agreed upon by the parties from time to time. Minimum standards for these security procedures are as follows:

(a) Envestnet shall notify National of any data security incident that could have an effect on systems (including hardware and software) used by Envestnet to operate the Customized Envestnet Platform (or otherwise make the Customized Envestnet Platform available for use by National and Advisors) as soon as practicable after detection by Envestnet, but in no event later than eight (8) hours after detection. Envestnet shall use its best efforts to respond to security incidents and keep National informed of the incident, actions taken to respond to it and measures taken to correct it. At no time shall Envestnet allow any security breach or compromise to persist for any amount of time in order to determine the identity of the perpetrator or for any other reason, except as required by law or as deemed necessary by the parties to stop the compromise or as otherwise explicitly permitted by National.

(b) With respect to each security breach or compromise, Envestnet shall, no later than five (5) business days following the day on which Envestnet learns of the occurrence of the security breach or compromise, present to National documentation of the cause, remedial steps and future plans to prevent a recurrence of such security breach or compromise. If these measures are not deemed acceptable, based on National’s reasonable judgment, Envestnet shall, upon receipt of written request from National, enter into good faith negotiations to address the differences within five (5) business days.

(c) Envestnet shall have a comprehensive background check performed on all personnel who have or will have access to, or are or will be authorized to work on, the Customized Envestnet Platform to ensure no prior criminal activity or financial conditions would make the person a high or medium risk employee. Such a background check shall be conducted on each such individual, and satisfactory results obtained therefrom, before Envestnet allows such individual to access or work on the Customized Envestnet Platform. Such background checks shall be of the type generally conducted by companies within the financial services industry.

2. Application Security. Access between secured and unsecured portions of the system will not be performed by CGI scripts. All user input and data, including URL name-value arguments, will be checked for its appropriateness based on its format, size and validity. All outside data requests (i.e., http/https requests) are allowed in a specified, controlled format which is processed by Envestnet according to prescribed procedures and the request results are then sent back to the outside party. The principal servers used by Envestnet shall not have the ability to remotely execute arbitrary outside requests, except for remote management performed over an encrypted, authenticated VPN.

3. Network Security. Each router used by Envestnet in connection with making the Customized Envestnet Platform available to National and Advisors shall contain a packet filter that has been configured to deny access to all protocols other than those required by the platform. When a protocol (such as http and https) is allowed to call into the Customized Envestnet Platform, that protocol shall (a) be explicitly exceptioned into the packet filters or (b) use specialized hardware which is built to specifically allow only certain protocol calls into the Envestnet system. No dial-up login access to the Customized Envestnet Platform will be made possible. Monitoring procedures of the firewall will immediately inform Envestnet of any unauthorized access or otherwise suspicious attempts to access secured portions of the system across the network.

4. Security Operations Overview. Envestnet’s current policy with respect to security operations is described below in this Section 4. Envestnet shall not make any material changes to this policy, and shall not make any changes in the extent and manner in which such policy is implemented, without National’s prior written approval.

If there is any abnormal or otherwise suspicious activity detected, the network security team is mobilized. The network security team consists of the Vice President of Systems and Networking and two senior Systems Administrators. If unexplained or suspicious activity is detected, a determination is made as whether this is a valid or invalid activity.

 

   

Valid: activity will continue to be monitored

 

   

Invalid: security barriers to suppress the activity will be enacted and monitoring continued.

If penetration is suspected or confirmed, the following actions will be initiated:

 

   

Notification of CTO, COO, VP of Client Services and other officers of Envestnet.

 

   

Immediate isolation of the potentially targeted system(s).

 

   

If penetration confirmed, notification to clients (including National) is initiated by VP of Client Services.

 

   

Determination of the degree and manor of intrusion.

To date, there has not been any unauthorized access to Envestnet Asset Management’s systems, applications or networks.

5. Transaction Validation. Envestnet agrees to establish a process that provides end-to end audit trails and transactional levels to enable National to validate the source, authorization and execution of all transactions.

6. Operational Review. National or its authorized representatives and agents shall have the right to perform an annual operational review with respect to Envestnet’s compliance with the standard set forth in this Exhibit. Envestnet shall grant National and its representatives and agents access, subject to Envestnet’s standard security escort policies, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the portion of Envestnet’s records, facilities and systems relevant to Envestnet’s obligations hereunder. Envestnet shall provide National and its authorized representatives and agents such information and assistance reasonably requested in order to perform such operational reviews. If any such review determines that Envestnet is not in compliance with any of the standards set forth in this Exhibit, then (i) Envestnet shall take prompt action to remedy such non-compliance to National’s satisfaction and to minimize any exposure resulting from such non-compliance, and (ii) National (or its authorized representatives and agents) shall have the right to perform such operational reviews more frequently than once per year, but no more frequently than once per calendar quarter, until such time as such subsequent operational review confirms that Envestnet is in compliance with the standards set forth in this Exhibit.

7. Network Testing. National and its authorized representatives and agents shall have the right to perform monthly network testing with respect to the Customized Envestnet Platform and the hardware and software used to make the Customized Envestnet Platform available to National and Advisors. Envestnet shall provide National and its authorized representatives and agents such information and assistance as is reasonably requested in order to perform such network testing.

8. Security Assessments. Envestnet shall allow National and its authorized representatives and agents to perform regular network security assessments on the Customized Envestnet Platform and the hardware and software used to make the Customized Envestnet Platform available to National and Advisors. There will be no destructive testing (brute force or denial-of-service), but National (or its authorized representatives) may perform penetration testing as part of this security assessment and/or the network testing described in the preceding section. If National’s security assessment indicates an exposure or vulnerability that represents a security risk, then Envestnet shall take prompt action to remedy such exposure or vulnerability to National’s satisfaction and to minimize any exposure resulting from such exposure or vulnerability.

9. Additional Standards. Additional security standards may be added to this Exhibit from time to time by agreement of the parties. In no event shall the security of the Customized Envestnet Platform be less than those measures Envestnet uses to protect the Base Envestnet Platform or any other service Envestnet offers to its customers. To the extent that Envestnet makes any improvements to its security procedures on the Base Envestnet Platform, Envestnet shall make equivalent improvements to the Customized Envestnet Platform, provided such changes have been previously approved by National. In no circumstances shall any such changes result in security procedures that are less restrictive than those specified in this Exhibit.

10. Data Privacy Requirements.

(a) Envestnet will ensure that web pages of the Customized Envestnet Platform have a hyperlink, prominently placed and appropriately labeled, to Envestnet’s then-current privacy policy applicable to any data or other information received by Envestnet from an Advisor (or other authorized user of the Customized Envestnet Platform). Envestnet shall handle (and shall ensure that the Customized Envestnet Platform will handle) all data and other information received by Envestnet from an Advisor (or other authorized user of the Customized Envestnet Platform) in accordance with Envestnet’s published privacy policy in effect at that time such data and information was obtained. With respect to any data or information concerning an Advisor or a client of an Advisor where Envestnet or the Customized Envestnet Platform obtained such data or information from National, Envestnet shall handle (and shall ensure that the Customized Envestnet Platform will handle) all such data and other information in accordance with National’s published privacy policy in effect at that time such data and information was obtained.

(b) With respect to the Customized Envestnet Platform and Envestnet’s activities hereunder, Envestnet shall comply with all applicable federal, state, local, foreign and international laws, regulations, governmental orders and treaties pertaining to the privacy and/or protection of customer or personal information (including, without limitation, Regulation S-P

Overview/Notes of National Financial-Envestnet Platform Fee Schedule

 

1. The fee schedules include both the platform fee to be charged to the account holder (such fee is specified as a percentage in the applicable table entitled “Bill” and is based on the amount of assets in such account holder’s account(s) in any of the Programs) and the percent of such platform fee that will be distributed to National Financial (such percentage is specified in the applicable table entitled “Distribute” and is based on the aggregate amount of assets in accounts in the Programs (see note 5 below) during the applicable period (such aggregate amount is referred to as the “enterprise level”)).

 

2. Tiered Pricing: Pricing is tiered both at the account level and at the enterprise level. The ‘account level’ tiering determines the platform fee that will be charged to the account holder. The ‘enterprise level’ tiering determines the percent of the aggregate platform fees that will be distributed to National Financial (see note 12).

 

3. Billing Fees: The pricing to each account (i.e., the ‘bill’ side) is consistent to the client account regardless of the cumulative enterprise assets.

 

4. Householding: Program fees are calculated based on the total assets held within a household within each Program, including separately managed account portfolios, mutual fund wrap accounts, and multi-manager accounts. A household includes all accounts held by members of an immediate family, i.e., parents, siblings, spouse, and children. Assets held in all separately managed account portfolios (equity SMA, fixed income SMA, and mutual fund holdings) within a household are summed to calculate fees for those accounts. Similar calculations are made within the other Program types (i.e., mutual fund wrap accounts and multi-manager accounts).

 

5. Distribute Schedule: Assets in all Programs on both the UMA and the SMA Supermarket Platforms at National and Fidelity Registered Investment Advisor Group (FRIAG) and Fidelity Family Office Services, with the exception of the Strategic Advisors Mutual Fund Portfolio program, are summed to determine the enterprise level within the applicable distribute schedule to be used. Assets in the Strategic Advisor Mutual Fund Portfolios are summed separately to determine the distribute schedule that applies to those assets. Once the total assets reach a new threshold, a higher portion of the platform fee collected on all subsequent assets will be paid to National according to the applicable distribute schedule.

 

6. Distribution based on Percentage: The portion of the platform fee collected on each account to be distributed to National is calculated using a single percentage. That percentage applies to all levels of the ‘account level’ tiering.

 

7. A portion of the minimum fee per account will be distributed to National according to the applicable Distribute Schedule.

 

8. Platform Fee Discounts: Each product solution is priced with discount schedules to give reps from National some flexibility in selling the platform. Although it is possible to build additional discounted fee schedules into the Envestnet billing system, each schedule must be entered manually. If additional discount schedules are desired, it is preferred that those schedules be defined at the onset. The distribute percentage for a newly added discount schedule will match the discount schedule listed for the nearest first tier (e.g., if a schedule is established for a product with a first tier equal to [***] the distribution percentage will match that listed for [***] A new schedule starting at [***] will match that listed for [***])

 

9. Reporting and Administrative Services are available for accounts custodied at Fidelity or other custodial systems that provide data to Envestnet’s systems electronically.

 

10. Separate development fees will be charged to any correspondent that requires further customization of the platform to accommodate its own investment programs, for example: development of product profiles, asset allocation diagrams, questionnaire scoring, performance hypotheticals, etc. These fees will generally be a one-time charge. Revenues from these development activities will be retained in full by Envestnet.

 

11. Separate development fees will be charged to any correspondent to fulfill a request for additional separate account managers on that firms the platform. The fee to develop the first product profile, setup the manager/product on the Envestnet data base and in APL, setup the manager/product on the website, train/test the manager on APL and test the connection, complete sub-manager contracts will be [***  ]. Each additional product from this same manager will cost [***] to setup. Revenues from these development activities will be retained in full by Envestnet.

 

12. The “Bill” and “Distribute” amounts specified above for the Strategic Advisers Mutual Fund Portfolios include amounts to be paid to SAI by Envestnet pursuant to the separate agreement between Envestnet and SAI. Such amounts are included in the percentages specified in such tables solely for the parties’ convenience, and notwithstanding the inclusion of such amounts in such percentages in such tables, Envestnet shall pay all amounts due from Envestnet to SAI directly to SAI in accordance with the terms of such separate agreement between Envestnet and SAI (the remaining portion of the percentage specified in the Distribute table will be paid by Envestnet to National).

13. With respect to the fee schedule set forth above for the Strategic Advisers Mutual Fund Portfolios, if amounts payable by Envestnet pursuant to such fee schedule for a particular period for a given account are less than the amounts otherwise payable by Envestnet to SAI with respect to such account for such period pursuant to the separate sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Management Agreement”) between Envestnet and SAI (the difference between such amounts is referred to herein as the “SAI Shortfall”), then Envestnet shall (i) withhold the amount of the SAI Shortfall from amounts that are due and payable by Envestnet to National hereunder in respect of other accounts that do not have an SAI Shortfall for such period, and (ii) promptly remit the amount of the SAI Shortfall to SAI in accordance with the terms of the Sub-Management Agreement on behalf of National.

Billing Procedures

Administration and payment of Program fees for which SAI performs subadvisory activities to Envestnet shall be set forth in a separate agreement between Envestnet and SAI. All other program fees will be billed quarterly, in advance, and follow the average daily balance (ADB) calculation formula. Envestnet will calculate the total Client fees and submit the fee debit instructions to National for automatic payments from each Client’s account, National will process Envestnet’s instructions to debit Program fees due from Clients pursuant to authority to do so granted to Envestnet in an agreement between each Client and Envestnet. Envestnet shall instruct National to release the fees as follows: (i) National’s portion of the fee shall be retained by National; (ii) National will remit the relevant Advisor’s portion of the fee to the Advisor (per Correspondent Clearing Statement); and (iii) the remaining portion of the fee shall be released to Envestnet (and Envestnet shall be responsible for paying any applicable sub-advisory fees to the appropriate Money Manager). Prior to the aforementioned release of fees, Envestnet shall send to each Client a fee statement, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts to be disbursed from the Client’s account. All fees shall be based on the amount of assets under management in each Client account during the applicable period of determination, calculated on a pro rata basis for any partial period, as applicable, and payable by Clients in accordance with the terms of the applicable Advisory Agreement.
