(“ALPS”), a Colorado corporation. The “Effective Date” of this Agreement is October 1, 2012.

In a joint effort between Client and ALPS to ensure the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), (consisting of the following portfolios: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Centre American Equity Fund; Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Centre Global Equity Fund; Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 8IP Asia Pacific Equity Fund; Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx FOUR European Equity Fund is in compliance with Rule 38a-1 (the “Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), ALPS has agreed to render services to Client on behalf of the Trust by entering into a formal agreement with respect thereto effective from and after the Effective Date.

ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Client and ALPS hereby agree as set forth below.

SECTION 1. Term of Agreement.

Client hereby retains ALPS, on behalf of the Trust, for a period beginning on the Effective Date and ending June 28, 2012, subject to early termination as provided in this Agreement (the “Term”). This Agreement shall supersede any and all previously existing Chief Compliance Officer Services Agreements between Client and ALPS, and will be automatically renewed for additional one-year periods beyond the Term, provided it is not otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. Duties.

(a) ALPS shall designate, subject to Client’s approval, one of its own employees to serve as Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust within the meaning of the Rule (such individual, the “CCO”). The CCO shall render to Client and the Trust such advice and services (“Services”) as are required to be performed by a CCO under the Rule and as are set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as such exhibit may be modified from time to time by written agreement of the parties hereto. Exhibit A is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Client acknowledges that other employees of ALPS will assist the CCO in the performance of his duties hereunder.

(b) During the Term, the CCO shall report to such individuals as may be designated from time to time by Client, subject to the provisions of Exhibit A.

(c) The parties agree that only employees of ALPS shall act as CCO or otherwise perform services to Client or the Trust under this Agreement unless otherwise agreed in writing by Client. Notwithstanding his other duties for ALPS or any other investment company, the CCO shall perform the Services in a professional manner and shall devote appropriate time, energies and skill to the Services.

(d) Client acknowledges that the CCO may act as Chief Compliance Officer within the meaning of the Rule for other investment companies, and nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the CCO from acting in such capacity; provided, however, that during the Term neither ALPS nor the CCO shall enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding which would conflict with this Agreement or prevent ALPS or the CCO from performing its or his obligations hereunder.

(e) Client shall cooperate in good faith with ALPS and the CCO in order to assist in the performance of the Services. In furtherance of this agreement to cooperate, Client shall make those of its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees and outside counsel available for consultation with ALPS and the CCO and shall communicate with the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”), and such other service providers of the Trust (the Trustees and such other service providers collectively, the “Service Providers”), in each case as ALPS or the CCO may reasonably request. Client shall provide ALPS and the CCO with the names of appropriate contact people at the Service Providers and shall make introductions and otherwise assist ALPS and the CCO in obtaining the cooperation of the Service Providers. Client shall provide ALPS and the CCO with such books and records regarding the Trust and Client as ALPS and the CCO may reasonably request.

SECTION 3. Fee.

(a) As compensation for the performance of the Services on behalf of the Trust, Client shall pay to ALPS, or shall cause the Trust to pay to ALPS, during the Term an annual fee of: $ paid 1/12 on a monthly basis (or a pro rata portion thereof for a partial month) (the “Fee”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, fees billed for the services to be performed by ALPS under this Agreement are based on information provided by the Fund and such fees are subject to renegotiation between the parties to the extent such information is determined to be materially different from what the Fund originally provided to ALPS. During each year of the Term, unless the parties shall otherwise agree and provided that the service mix and volumes remain consistent with those provided in the previous year of this Agreement, the total fee that would be charged for the same services would be the Fee rate increased by 5% per annum.

(b) The Fee shall be payable by Client within 30 days of its receipt of an invoice from ALPS, which invoices shall include amounts for any expenses reimbursable under Section 4 hereof. LATE CHARGES: All invoices are due and payable upon receipt. Any invoices not paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date are subject to a one percent (1%) per month financing charge on any unpaid balance but only to the extent permitted by law.

(c) The CCO shall not receive and shall not make any claim under this Agreement or otherwise against Client or the Trust for compensation, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance compensation, or life insurance, social security benefits, disability insurance benefits or any other benefits. ALPS is solely responsible for any such compensation or benefits to be paid to the CCO, and ALPS shall withhold on behalf of the CCO the required sums for income tax, unemployment insurance or social security pursuant to any law or requirement of any government agency including, without limitation, unemployment tax, federal, state or foreign income tax, federal social security (FICA) payments and disability insurance taxes. ALPS and the CCO shall make such tax payments as may be required by applicable law and shall indemnify and hold Client and the Trust harmless from any liability that Client or the Trust may incur as a consequence of ALPS’ or the CCO’s failure to make any such tax payment(s).

(d) ALPS and the CCO shall perform the services hereunder as independent contractors and not as employees of Client or the Trust, although the CCO shall be an employee of ALPS. As independent contractors, neither ALPS nor the CCO is, and neither shall represent itself or himself to third parties as being, the agent or representative of Client or the Trust, except as specifically set forth herein. Neither ALPS nor the CCO have, and shall not represent itself or himself to third parties as having, actual or apparent power or authority to do or take any action for or on behalf of Client or the Trust, as its agent, representative or otherwise, except as specifically set forth herein.

SECTION 4. Reimbursement of Expenses.

During the Term, Client shall reimburse, or shall cause the Trust to reimburse, ALPS for all reasonable and necessary travel and lodging expenses and other out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by ALPS for or on behalf of Client or the Trust in connection with the performance of ALPS’ or the CCO’s duties hereunder upon presentation of appropriate receipts and other reasonable documentation as Client may request. LATE CHARGES: All invoices are due and payable upon receipt. Any invoices not paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date are subject to a one percent (1%) per month financing charge on any unpaid balance but only to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 5. Disclosure of Information.

(a) From and after the date hereof, neither ALPS nor the CCO shall use or disclose to any Person, except as required in connection with the performance of the Services and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and as required by law, regulation or judicial process, any Confidential Information (as defined in Section 5(b)), for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall ALPS or the CCO make use of any Confidential Information for ALPS’ or the CCO’s purposes or for the benefit of any Person except the Trust, Client or Client’s Affiliates.

Confidential Information does not include (i) information in the public domain not as a result of a breach by ALPS or the CCO of this Agreement, (ii) information lawfully received by ALPS or the CCO from a third Person who had the right to disclose such information, and (iii) information developed by ALPS’ or the CCO’s own independent knowledge, skill and know-how.

(c) In the event that ALPS or the CCO is requested by legal process to disclose Confidential Information, ALPS shall notify Client thereof and shall cooperate with Client, the Trust and the Trustees, as appropriate, at the expense of Client, the Trust or the Trustees, as appropriate, in any action that such entity may desire to take to protect its Confidential Information.

SECTION 6. Assignment of Written Materials.

During the Term, ALPS and the CCO shall promptly disclose, and hereby grant and assign to the Trust for its sole use and benefit, any and all technical information, data, procedures, records, suggestions and other materials, insofar as they are reduced to writing, including without limitation the Written Compliance Program of the Trust (as that term is defined in Exhibit A), that are reasonably related to the Trust (collectively, the “Materials”) which ALPS or the CCO may develop or acquire during the Term (whether or not during usual working hours), together with all copyrights and reissues thereof that may at any time be granted for or with respect to the Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, the Materials shall include all records referred to in Exhibit A. The Materials shall constitute Confidential Information within the meaning of Section 5.

SECTION 8. Termination.

(a) Client shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of:

(v) subject to the provisions of Section 2(d), any failure of ALPS to employ a CCO for the Trust acceptable to Client.

(b) ALPS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of:

ALPS shall use its best judgment and efforts in rendering the services described in this Agreement. ALPS shall not be liable to the Fund or any of the Fund’s stockholders for any action or inaction of ALPS relating to any event whatsoever in the absence of bad faith, reckless disregard, negligence or willful misfeasance in the performance of ALPS’ duties or obligations under this Agreement. Further, ALPS shall not be liable to the Fund or any of the Fund’s stockholders for any action taken or failure to act in good faith reliance upon: (i) the advice and opinion of Fund counsel; and (ii) any certified copy of any resolution of the Board; and ALPS shall not be under any duty or obligation to inquire into the validity or invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any statement, oral or written instruction, resolution, signature, request, letter or transmittal, certificate, opinion of counsel, instrument, report, notice, consent, order, or any other document or instrument which ALPS reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine.

For purposes of this Agreement, ALPS’ bad faith, willful malfeasance, or reckless disregard shall not include any action taken or not taken by ALPS consistent with the last sentence of Section 3(a). Further, the Fund shall not be required to indemnify any ALPS’ Indemnitee if, prior to confessing any ALPS’ Claim against the ALPS’ Indemnitee, ALPS or the ALPS’ Indemnitee does not give the Fund written notice of and reasonable opportunity to defend against the ALPS’ claim in its won name or in the name of the ALPS’ Indemnitee.

(d) ALPS shall not be liable for the errors of other service providers to the Fund or their systems.

SECTION 10. Representations and Warranties.

SECTION 11. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver.

This Agreement and the other writings referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreement between ALPS and Client. No waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by each party hereto. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party.

SECTION 12. Notices.

All notices or other communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be sufficient if delivered personally, telecopied, sent by nationally-recognized, overnight courier or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

SECTION 13. Headings.

The section Headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 14. Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or if such provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this Agreement; provided, however, that the binding effect and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, to the extent the economic benefits conferred upon the parties by virtue of this Agreement remain substantially unimpaired, shall not be affected or impaired in any manner, and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability with respect to such provisions shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 15. Remedies.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and understands that certain provisions of this Agreement are of a special and unique nature, the loss of which cannot be adequately compensated for in damages by an action at law, and thus, the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that, in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to immediate relief enjoining such violations in any court or before any judicial body having jurisdiction over such a claim. All remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law or in equity and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

SECTION 16. Benefits of Agreement; Assignment.

(a) The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, representatives, heirs and estate, as applicable. This Agreement shall not be assignable by ALPS without the express written consent of Client. Any purported assignment in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be void and of no effect.

(b) The Trust shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to receive the benefit of ALPS’ and the CCO’s services and to enforce the rights of Client hereunder.

SECTION 17. Survival.

Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of Sections 5 through 7 and 11 through 21 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Term.

SECTION 18. Counterparts and Facsimile Execution.

This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any counterpart or other signature hereupon delivered by facsimile shall be deemed for all purposes as constituting good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by the party delivering it.

SECTION 19. Governing Law; Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction.

(a) All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado. In furtherance of the foregoing, the law of the State of Colorado will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law of conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.

(b) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS RESPECTIVE LEGAL COUNSEL, AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

(c) THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE THAT THE EXCLUSIVE PLACE OF JURISDICTION FOR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING (“ACTIONS”) RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR, IF SUCH COURTS SHALL NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF, IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING THEREIN, AND EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR PURPOSES OF ANY SUCH ACTIONS. IF ANY SUCH STATE COURT ALSO DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF, THEN SUCH AN ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATES OF THE PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS OF ANY PARTY HERETO. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY ACTION BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS OR TO THE CONVENIENCE OF THE FORUM. FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT, A CERTIFIED OR TRUE COPY OF WHICH SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FACT AND THE AMOUNT OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR LIABILITY OF ANY PARTY THEREIN DESCRIBED.

SECTION 20. Force Majeure.

ALPS shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, fire, mechanical breakdowns, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the mails, transportation, communication system or power supply. In addition, to the extent ALPS’ obligations hereunder are to oversee or monitor the activities of third parties, ALPS shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of ALPS’ duties caused, directly or indirectly, by the failure or delay of such third parties in performing their respective duties or cooperating reasonably and in a timely manner with ALPS.

SECTION 21. Mutual Contribution.

The parties to this Agreement and their counsel have mutually contributed to its drafting. Consequently, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed against any party on the ground that a party drafted the provision or caused it to be drafted.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has executed this Chief Compliance Officer Services Agreement as of the date first above written.

Review of Compliance Program. No later than December 31, 2012, the CCO shall, with the assistance of Client, review and revise, where necessary, the written compliance policies and procedures (the “Compliance Program”) of the Trust, which shall address compliance with, and be reasonably designed to prevent violation of, “Federal Securities Laws.”¹In addition to provisions of Federal Securities Laws that apply to the Trust, the Compliance Program will be revised, where necessary, to address compliance with, and ensure that it is reasonably designed to prevent violation of, the Trust’s charter and by-laws and all exemptive orders, no-action letters and other regulatory relief received by the Trust from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Financial Industry Regulatory Association, Inc. (the “FINRA”) (all such items collectively, “Regulatory Relief”); provided, however, that the Compliance Program shall address only that Regulatory Relief afforded the Service Providers or the Trust or relevant to compliance by the Service Providers or the Trust, and shall not address the terms by which other parties may receive the benefits of any Regulatory Relief.

II.

Administration of Compliance Program. The CCO shall administer and enforce the Trust’s Compliance Program.

III.

Oversight of Service Providers. The CCO is responsible for overseeing, on behalf of the Trust, adherence to the written compliance policies and procedures of the Trust’s service providers, including Client and distributor (the “Distributor”) (Client and Distributor, collectively, the “Service Providers”). In furtherance of this duty,

In connection with the documentation of its written policies and procedures governing the provision of its services to the relevant Trust, the Service Provider has prepared and delivered to the Trust a summary of core services that it provides to the Trust or, if no such summary is available, that it has delivered to the Trust copies of the relevant policies and procedures.

The Service Provider will provide to the Trust and the CCO any revisions to its written compliance policies and procedures on at least an annual basis, or more frequently in the event of a material revision.

The Service Provider’s written compliance policies and procedures have been reasonably designed to prevent, detect and correct violations of the applicable Federal Securities Laws and critical functions related to the services performed by Service Provider pursuant to the applicable agreement between the Service Provider and the Trust.

The Service Provider has established monitoring procedures, and shall review, no less frequently than annually, the adequacy and effectiveness of its written compliance policies and procedures to check that they are reasonably designed to prevent, detect and correct violations of those applicable Federal Securities Laws and critical functions related to the services performed by the Service Provider pursuant to the applicable agreement between the Service Provider and the Trust.

IV.

Annual Review. The Rule requires that, at least annually, the Trust review its Compliance Program and that of its Service Providers and the effectiveness of their respective implementations (the “Annual Review”). The CCO shall perform the Annual Review for the Trust. The first Annual Review shall be completed no later than June 28, 2012.

Reports to Client; Escalation

The CCO shall make regular reports to the Client regarding its administration and enforcement of the Compliance Program. These regular reports shall address compliance by the Trust and the Service Providers and such other matters as Client may reasonably request.

In addition, at least annually, the CCO shall submit a written report to the Client addressing the following issues:

the operation of the Compliance Program, and the written compliance policies and procedures of the Service Providers;

any material changes made to the Compliance Program since the date of the such last report;

any material changes to the Compliance Program recommended as a result of the Annual Review; and

each “Material Compliance Matter” that occurred since the date of the last report.²

This written report shall be based on the Annual Review. The first written report shall be presented to the Client no later than 60 days after the date of the first Annual Review.

In the event that the CCO reports a Material Compliance Matter and is not reasonably satisfied with Client’s efforts to address and remedy the same, the CCO shall report such Material Compliance Matter to the Trustees, with a copy to Client.

VI.

Recordkeeping. The CCO shall maintain the books and records for the Trust that are required to be retained by the Rule, which books and records may be maintained electronically but which shall, in any event, be backed-up and safeguarded in accordance with ALPS’ regular practices for record retention.

VII.

Meeting with Regulators. The CCO shall meet with, and reply to inquiries from, the SEC, the Client and other legal and regulatory authorities with responsibility for administering Federal Securities Laws as necessary or as reasonably requested by Client or the Trustees.

VIII.

Amendments to the Compliance Program. The CCO shall consult with Client and its representatives as necessary to amend, update and revise the Compliance Program as necessary, but no less frequently than annually.
