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).

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 Envestnets 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 Managers 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 Clients account, except where such loss directly results from Envestnets negligence or willful misconduct.

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.

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.

be liable for any loss incurred with respect to the Non-Program Assets, except where such loss directly results from Envestnets negligence or willful misconduct.

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.

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 Nationals 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.

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 holders 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 Envestnets 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 Clients account, National will process Envestnets 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) Nationals portion of the fee shall be retained by National; (ii) National will remit the relevant Advisors 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 Clients 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.
