WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8 of the Agreement, the Trusts and the Administrator wish to amend the fees payable to the Administrator under Section 4, and revise Schedule A of the Agreement to reflect the removal of Virtus Insight Trust and to include name changes for certain of the Funds listed on Schedule A;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premise, the parties to the Agreement hereby agree that the Agreement is amended as follows:

 

1.Section 4(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) For the services provided to each Trust and each Fund by the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, each Fund shall pay the Administrator monthly for its services, fees at the following annual rates based on the combined aggregate average daily net assets across the Virtus Funds, defined as all funds of the Trusts, all funds of Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust, and all series of Virtus Variable Insurance Trust, plus out of pocket expenses (including out of pocket expenses of any sub-administrator to each Trust hired by the Administrator and not the Trusts):

 

Net Assets  Administrative Fee 
Less than or equal to $15 billion   0.10%
      
Over $15 billion and up to and including $30 billion   0.095%
      
Over $30 billion and up to and including $50 billion   0.09%
      
In excess of $50 billion   0.085%

 

Any Fund with net assets in excess of $10 billion will receive an offsetting credit to its administrative fee, such that the portion of its net assets in excess of $10 billion will only be assessed an administrative fee of .07%. The fees for the portion of such a Fund’s net assets up to and inclusive of the first $10 billion will remain consistent with the fee schedule above.

 

2.Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby replaced with Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

3.Except as herein provided, the Agreement shall be and remain unmodified and in full force and effect. All initial capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

 

4.This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (including executed counterparts delivered and exchanged by facsimile transmission) with the same effect as if all signing parties had originally signed the same document, and all counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute the same instrument.
