     This Amendment to the Financial Administration, Accounting Services, Transfer Agency and Shareholder Services Agreement is made as of the 12 day of November, 2007, by and between The Navellier Funds, a Delaware business trust (the “Trust”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), a Delaware corporation.

     WHEREAS, Integrated Investment Services, Inc. (“Integrated”) acts as custodian under the Trust’s Traditional Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), Roth IRA, SEP IRA, 403(b)(7) and Coverdell Educational Savings Account Custodial Agreements (the “Accounts”), and the Trust wishes to appoint JPMorgan as successor custodian resulting from the JPMorgan acquisition of Integrated Investment Services, Inc.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with Paragraph 27 of the Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
The Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as an Addendum:

     WHEREAS, the Trust wishes to engage JPMorgan to serve as the custodian of record for each Account under the custodial agreement for that Account (each a “Custodial Agreement”);
     NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
     1. The Trust hereby appoints JPMorgan to act as Custodian of each Account. JPMorgan accepts such appointment and agrees to perform all services necessary or required pursuant to each Custodial Agreement or pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or this Amendment, including the services required as set forth on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Services”).
     2. In its capacity as Custodian of the Accounts, JPMorgan will act only as a Bank Custodian (within the meaning of Section 1.408(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code) and will not have any discretion to direct investments within any of the Accounts.

 


 

     3. JPMorgan shall keep and maintain on behalf of the Trust all books and records that are customary or that are required to be kept in connection with the services to be rendered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Agreement or this Amendment.

Further, JPMorgan shall comply with any and all record retention, notice, return and other filing, statement, and servicing obligations and shall comply with all rules, regulations, and similar requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any other applicable laws.
     4. JPMorgan shall be compensated for providing the custodial services set forth in the Custodial Agreements, the Agreement and this Amendment. The annual custodial fee shall be $10.00 per Account holder, per Account type and will be charged to the Account or the holder of the Account in accordance with the applicable Custodial Agreement.
