(“VCM”), a New York corporation. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement

 

WHEREAS, VCM and the Trusts wish to enter into this Amendment to the Agreement to (1) add additional Funds to the terms of the Agreement, (2) update the fee schedule, and (3) revise the term of the Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter contained and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, VCM and the Trusts hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Schedule D to the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the new Schedule D attached hereto.

 

2.                                      The Asset-Based Fees included on Schedule C to the Agreement are deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 

Asset-Based Fees:

 

0.08% (8 basis points) of the first $15 Billion in aggregate net assets of all Funds; plus

 

0.05% (5 basis points) of aggregate net assets of all Funds from $15 Billion to $30 Billion; plus

 

0.04% (4 basis points) of aggregate net assets of all Funds in excess of $30 Billion

 

3.                                      The third sentence of Section 5(a) of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following:

 

1



 

Unless otherwise terminated as provided herein, the current Rollover Period of the Agreement shall continue in effect through August 31, 2019.

 

4.                                      Section 5(d) of Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(d)                                 If this Agreement is terminated on or before August 31, 2019 for any reason, then the Trust(s) shall reimburse VCM as follows:

 

(1)                                 if the termination is before August 31, 2017, the full amount of any payment VCM makes to State Street Bank and Trust in connection with the termination of the Administration Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007, as amended, together with the novation of that agreement dated as of June 3, 2016, by and among State Street Bank and Trust Company, RS Investment Trust, Victory Portfolios, RS Variable Products Trust and Victory Variable Insurance Funds, each on behalf of those funds set forth on Appendix A of that Novation Agreement (together, the “State Street Agreements”);

 

(2)                                 if the termination occurs after August 31, 2017 but before August 31, 2018, two-thirds of the amount of any payment VCM makes to State Street Bank and Trust in connection with the termination of the State Street Agreement; and

 

(3)                                 if the termination occurs after August 31, 2018 but before August 31, 2019, one-third of the amount of any payment VCM makes to State Street Bank and Trust in connection with the termination of the State Street Agreement.

 

For avoidance of doubt, the amount of reimbursement provided above (a) is intended to compensate VCM for the out-of-pocket expenses that it incurred when it paid to State Street Bank and Trust Company an early termination fee on behalf of the funds set forth on Appendix A of Novation Agreement; and (b) shall be the obligation solely of the Funds set forth on Appendix A of the Novation Agreement, individually, and not jointly, in proportion of their relative net assets at the time any such reimbursement is made.

 

5.                                      Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Agreement is unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

 

6.                                      This Amendment shall become effective as of the date of conversion to Citi Fund Services of Ohio as sub-administrator, currently contemplated to occur on or about November 7, 2016.
