Schedule A to this Amendment
Amendments
Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Agreement is amended as follows:
1. | Section 2(a) of the Existing Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
(a) | In consideration for the services to be performed hereunder by ALPS, the Fund shall pay ALPS the fees listed in Appendix C hereto. 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 Trust and such fees are subject to renegotiation between the parties to the extent such information is determined by ALPS to be materially different from what the Fund’s investment adviser originally provided to ALPS. Beginning on the first anniversary date of the Agreement and on each year thereafter, the minimum fees reflected in Appendix C will incur an annual cost of living increase based on any increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, for the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area, as published biannually by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or, in the event that publication of such index is terminated, any successor or substitute index, appropriately adjusted, acceptable to all parties. ALPS will provide notice to the Trust of the amount of such cost of living increase prior to its implementation. |
