Recitals:

A.       The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), comprised of various series of open-end exchange-traded funds (the “Funds”).

B.       Amplify Investments is the investment adviser to each Fund and is paid an annual management fee by the Funds.

C.       Amplify Investments has voluntarily agreed to reduce management fees such that each Fund’s Expense Ratio is reduced by the Expense Ratio Reduction Amount (as such terms are hereinafter defined) for a term provided herein.

D.       Amplify Investments and the Trust desire to more fully describe and document the above-described fee waivers and expense reimbursements all in accordance with the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing facts and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the following definitions in this Agreement:

“Expense Ratio” is defined as a Fund’s annual investment management fees and expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all brokerage commissions, other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, distribution and service fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, if any, and extraordinary expenses) as a percentage of such Fund’s daily net asset value.

“Expense Ratio Reduction Amount” shall be equal to the amount as set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 2. Waiver of Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses. Amplify Investments will waive investment management fees payable to it by a Fund and/or reimburse a Fund for other expenses borne by the Fund by the Expense Ratio Reduction Amount set forth in Exhibit A for the term set forth in Exhibit A (the “Expense Reduction Term). Exhibit A may be amended from time to time. The aggregate amount of investment management fees waived and expenses reimbursed for a Fund from time to time under this Agreement for a particular Fund shall collectively be referred to as the “Reimbursed Amount.” The Reimbursed Amount shall be accrued on a monthly basis for each Fund but calculated and settled on an annual fiscal year basis.

Section 3. Amplify Investments’ fund accounting department and/or the Funds’ Administrator shall develop and maintain appropriate internal accounting policies and procedures to monitor and calculate the Expense Ratio Reduction Amount on a monthly basis for each Fund.

Section 4. Term and Continuation. This Agreement shall be effective on the date provided on Exhibit A (the “Effective Date”) for each Fund. This Agreement shall continue in effect for each respective Fund until the end of the Expense Reduction Term unless the Agreement is continued for additional periods as agreed to by the parties.
