To the extent that the intellectual property of the Fund is duplicated within the ALPS Web Site to replicate the “look and feel,” trade dress or other aspect of the appearance or functionality of the Investment Company Web Site, the Fund grants to ALPS a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to such intellectual property for the duration of this Agreement.

If ALPS is not able to satisfy the foregoing requirements, then, as the sole remedy, Fund will be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately.

This Agreement shall automatically renew at the end of the Initial Term for additional, successive twelve (12)-month terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless terminated by either party on not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are referred to herein as the Term.
Section 5.2 Termination.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION; LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
Section 6.1 No Other Warranties. Except as otherwise expressly stated in section 2.5 of this Agreement, the ICS and all software and systems described in this Agreement and its Exhibits are provided “as-is,” on an “as available” basis, and ALPS hereby specifically
disclaims any and all representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding services provided by ALPS hereunder, including any implied warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and implied warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance.
Section 6.2 Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances shall ALPS be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages (even if ALPS has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of such damages), arising from the use or inability to use the ICS or under any provision of this Agreement, such as, but not limited to, loss of revenue or anticipated profits or lost business. Without limiting any of the foregoing terms of this Section, in no event shall ALPS be liable under this Agreement in tort or otherwise for an amount exceeding the aggregate fees actually received by ALPS pursuant to Article III during the most recent Term of this Agreement.
Section 6.3 Indemnity. CornerCap and the Funds hereby indemnify and hold ALPS harmless from, and shall defend it against any and all claims, demands, costs, expenses and other liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the ICS by any User, except to the extent such liabilities result directly from the negligence or intentional misconduct of ALPS in the performance of the ICS.
ARTICLE VII
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 7.1 Confidential Information. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that in the course of performing its obligations hereunder, the other may disclose to it certain information and know-how of a technical, financial, operational or other sort, that is nonpublic and otherwise confidential or proprietary to the disclosing Party. This Agreement, and in particular, all ALPS’ Security Procedures and fee schedules, shall be considered confidential and proprietary. Each Party acknowledges that any such proprietary or confidential information disclosed to it is of considerable commercial value and that the disclosing Party would likely be economically or otherwise disadvantaged or harmed by the direct or indirect use or disclosure thereof, except as specifically authorized by the disclosing Party. Each Party therefore agrees to keep in strict confidence all such information that may from time to time be disclosed to it, and agrees not to use such information except as expressly permitted hereby or to disclose such information to any third Party for any purpose without the prior consent of the other. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall not apply to any information if and to the extent it was (i) independently developed by the receiving Party as evidenced by documentation in such Party’s possession, (ii) lawfully received by it free of restrictions from another source having the right to furnish the same, (iii) generally known or available to the public without breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party or (iv) known to the receiving Party free of restriction at the time of such disclosure. The Parties agree that immediately upon termination of this Agreement, without regard to the reason for such termination, the Parties shall forthwith return to one another all written materials and computer software, which are the property of the other Party.
Section 7.2 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties agrees that the non-breaching Party would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of the other Party’s breach or threatened breach of its obligations under Section 7.1, and that the non-breaching
Party would suffer irreparable injury and damage as a result of any such breach. Accordingly, in the event either Party breaches or threatens to breach the obligations set forth in Section 7.1, in addition to and not in lieu of any legal or other remedies such Party may pursue hereunder or under applicable law, each Party hereby consents to the granting of equitable relief (including the issuance of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction) against it by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security therefore, prohibiting any such breach or threatened breach. In any proceeding upon a motion for such equitable relief, a Party’s ability to answer in damages shall not be interposed as a defense to the granting of such equitable relief.
ARTICLE VIII
FORCE MAJEURE
The Fund and CornerCap acknowledge that the Internet is an insecure, unstable, unregulated, unorganized and unreliable environment, and that the ability of ALPS to deliver ICS is dependent upon the Internet and equipment, software, systems, data and services provided by various telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, firewall providers and encryption system developers and other vendors and third parties. ALPS shall not be liable for any delays or failures to perform any of its obligations hereunder to the extent that such delays or failures are due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, strikes, riots, acts of war, power failures, functions or malfunctions of the Internet, telecommunications services, firewalls, encryption systems and security devices, or governmental regulations imposed after the date of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.5 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby unless either of the Parties shall, in its reasonable determination, conclude that it shall be materially
prejudiced by such holding of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, in which case such Party may terminate this Agreement by thirty (30) days written notice to the other.

No term or provision hereof shall be deemed waived and no breach excused unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the Party claimed to have waived or consented.

EXHIBIT A-1
TRANSFER AGENT WEB SERVICES
1. Transfer Agent Web Services. CornerCap and the Fund have requested, and ALPS will provide Transfer Agent Web Services (“TA Web”) as one of the Interactive Client Services (“ICS”) provided pursuant to the terms of the ALPS ICS Agreement (the “Agreement”) between CornerCap, the Fund and ALPS. Through TA Web, Shareholders may submit Transaction requests directly to the Fund’s transfer agent via the Internet as described further in this Exhibit.
2. Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit, the following additional definitions shall apply (in addition to all other defined terms in the Agreement):
“Shareholder” shall mean the record owner or authorized agent of the owner of shares of a Fund.
3. ALPS Responsibilities. In connection with its performance of TA Web, ALPS shall:
(a) receive Transaction requests electronically transmitted to the ALPS Web Site via the Internet following execution of a link from the Investment Company Web Site to the ALPS Web Site and route Transaction requests to ALPS’ transfer agency system;
(b) for each Transaction request received, route Transaction information from the ALPS’ transfer agency system to ALPS’ Web Site to be viewed by Users;
(c) perform all other ALPS obligations as set forth in the Agreement.
4. Fund Responsibilities. In connection with its use of TA Web, CornerCap and the Funds, through their service providers, shall:
(a) provide all computers, telecommunications equipment and other equipment and software reasonably necessary to develop and maintain the Investment Company Web Site;
(b) design and develop the Investment Company Web Site functionality necessary to facilitate and maintain the hypertext links to the ALPS Web Site and the various Transaction Web pages and otherwise make the Investment Company Web Site available to Shareholders;

EXHIBIT B-1
SECURITY PROCEDURES - TRANSFER AGENT WEB SERVICES (“TA WEB”)
1. Password Requirements
Initial Authentication of a Shareholder in TA Web is accomplished through entry of the account number and social security number. The Shareholder then creates a User ID and Password (PIN) to access TA Web. The PIN must be 4-10 characters in length and may consist of alpha-numeric characters and symbols.
2. Encryption
The ALPS Web server runs Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”). The purpose of using SSL is to encrypt data transmissions through the ALPS Web Site and block communications through the ALPS Web Site from Internet browsers which do not support SSL data encryption. The standard level of encryption supported by the ALPS Web Site is 128-bit. Further, ALPS uses a certificate from a major provider of server authentication services.
3. Network Access Control
A computer referred to as a “firewall router” is located between the Internet backbone connection and the ALPS Web server. The purpose of the router is to control the connectivity to the ALPS Web server at the port level. This equipment is located at ALPS’ Denver data center. Changes to the configuration of this computer are administered by authorized IT staff. This equipment will not interrogate data, and its only function is to limit the type of traffic accessing the ALPS Web server to the suite of Hyper-Text Transfer Protocols (“HTTP”) transmissions. Ports on the router are configured to be consistent with ports on the ALPS Web server. All other ports on the router other than those configured for the ALPS Web server are not accessible from the Internet.
The ALPS Web server utilizes adequate and appropriate software and hardware. All services and functions within the ALPS Web server operating system are deactivated with the exception of services and functions which support TA Web. The general purpose of this feature is to prevent external users from entering commands or running processes on the ALPS Web server. All ports on the ALPS Web server, except those required by TA Web, are disabled. Directory structures are “hidden” from the user. Services which provide directory information are also deactivated.
ALPS administrators gain access to the ALPS Web server through the physical console connected to the ALPS Web server, or through the internal network via ALPS Secure ID.
TA Web is programmed to terminate the session/Transaction between the Shareholder and TA Web if data authentication fails. All successful and unsuccessful sessions are logged.
4. Limitation of Users
Access by ALPS personnel to the ALPS Web server is restricted within ALPS to a limited number of users based upon ALPS system administration requirements, as determined by appropriate ALPS systems managers from time to time.
5. Independence of the Fund’s Location on the Web Server
Independence of the Fund’s presence on the ALPS Web server is accomplished by establishing individual data set partitions on the ALPS Web server that are designed to be separate from other partitions. The Fund’s presence resides within a separate data and directory structure on the ALPS Web server. The base transaction code required by ICS is, however, shared by all data set partitions.
Each Fund URL on the ALPS Web server will identify a separate Fund presence. Access to the Funds presence on the ALPS Web server must be through the Investment Company Web Site.
Book marking of HTML pages within the Fund’s site on the ALPS Web server is not allowed.
6. Right to Audit
CornerCap and the Fund is allowed to audit, at their expense, the collection of electronic documents or pages residing on ALPS’ computer system relating to the Fund’s implementation of the TA Web service, if any, linked to the Internet and accessible by hypertext link through the World Wide Web, where the Transaction data fields and related screens provided by ALPS may be viewed by Users who access such site (“ALPS Web Site”) once in each 12 month period and any associated systems or networks within TA Web relating to the Fund’s implementation, after providing an audit plan to ALPS and upon ALPS’ consent thereto. The audit may include review of configurations, audit trails, and maintenance of systems and software within TA Web associated with the Funds TA Web site on the ALPS Web server. Tools which may be used for the audit may include network security tools; provided, that ALPS may specify the time at which any tool is used, if ALPS reasonably believes that such tool may affect system performance. The audit will be coordinated through ALPS and ALPS will be entitled to observe all audit activity. Additionally, ALPS shall be entitled to all results of an audit. Neither CornerCap or the Fund will perform any action that may interfere with the uptime or stability of ALPS systems or networks. CornerCap, the Fund and their review team will be considered authorized users and ALPS will not seek prosecution under any computer crime or other applicable statutes for such activity, as long as CornerCap and the Fund have provided ALPS a written audit plan, ALPS has approved the written audit plan, and the audit was executed in accordance with the written audit plan.
