Amendments
As of the Effective Date, the TA Agreement is amended as follows:
1. | Section 2(a) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with: |
(a) In consideration for the services to be performed hereunder by ALPS, the Trust on behalf of the Funds shall pay ALPS the fees in accordance with the fee letter(s) (the “Fee Letter”), which may be amended from time to time. 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 Funds’ investment adviser and such fees are subject to renegotiation between the parties to the extent such information is determined to be materially different from what the Funds’ investment adviser originally provided to ALPS. During each year of the term of this Agreement, 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 fee that would be charged for the same services would be the base fee rate (as reflected in the Fee Letter) subject to an annual cost of living adjustment as provided in the Fee Letter.
