In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Service Exhibit, the terms and conditions of this Service Exhibit will control such conflict with respect to the services provided hereunder

Destruction on Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Service Exhibit, ALPS will:

Return any written, printed, or tangible materials supplied to ALPS by Customer in connection with the development of the enhanced web functionality for Customer that include Customer data.

Alternatively, with the written consent of Customer, ALPS may securely destroy any of the foregoing embodying Customer data (or the reasonably non-recoverable data erasure of computerized data) and, upon request, certify such destruction in writing by an authorized officer of ALPS supervising the destruction.

ALPS may retain documents as is necessary to comply with its own document retention policies or as required by applicable law, or by a governmental or regulatory agency or body, in which case all such retained documents shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Service Exhibit.

Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit, the following additional definitions shall apply (in addition to all other defined terms in the Agreement):

•

“Customer Web Site” shall mean the collection of electronic documents or pages residing on the computer system of Customer (or an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) hired by Customer) connected to the Internet and accessible through the World Wide Web, where record owners or authorized agents of the owner of Shares in the Funds (each a “User”) may view information about the Funds and link to Digital Investor.

•

“Multi-Factor Authentication” shall mean the User “out of band” (OOB) authentication process, utilized by Digital Investor, as governed by the terms in Addendum 1 attached hereto, whereby ALPS together with a third party service provider implements multi-factor authentication (“MFA”) security features enabling Users to enter contact information into a User security profile and establish a multi-factor authentication method for access to account data. MFA authentication will enable Users to configure or update MFA security profiles, including preferred method for MFA notifications, whereby a temporary one-time authentication code is sent to the User via SMS text message or email, which the User then enters into the application.

•

“Shareholder” shall mean the record owner or authorized agent of the owner of shares of a Fund.

Acceptance Process. In accordance with mutually agreed upon project milestones and timeline, Customer and ALPS will review and/or test each phase of the services and each deliverable contemplated by this Service Exhibit requiring acceptance within the period set forth within the SOW attached hereto.

Project Changes. Until such time as this Service Exhibit is terminated or otherwise expires, Customer may request changes in Services (hereinafter collectively “Changes”).

Changes may result in an increase or decrease in the fees for a project and/or adjustment of the delivery date as mutually agreed to by the parties and may require adjustments to the SOW or a separate SOW altogether. ALPS will promptly provide an amended or new SOW, as appropriate, to reflect the Changes; if Customer fails to execute promptly such amended or new SOW, Customer will pay ALPS for the additional Changes based on the then current hourly rate.

to Customer’s prior written approval of such increase. As part of its approval, ALPS may condition any Change on an increase in the payments to be made for the Services and a new work schedule if ALPS believes in good faith that such Change necessitates a change in the work schedule and ALPS will incur additional costs to implement such Change.

FAN Web Functions and Client-Specific Customization – Not Carried Over to Digital Investor

•

We realize that many clients may have made improvements to their FAN Web sites over the years. This may have included custom coding to account for certain functions, to improve the user experience, or logic for certain business items.

•

The Digital Investor platform is on a completely different infrastructure than FAN Web. While Digital Investor does use the FAN Web configuration options to control business rules and other attributes behind the scenes, nothing else is shared with the FAN Web templates.

•

This means that workflows, display, and other related logic will perform as indicated in the Digital Investor summary product specification document, which may differ from the way that FAN Web performs or displays these features and functions today.

•

Unless specifically called out in the Digital Investor proposal, no FAN Web functions and/or custom or client-specific FAN Web features will be carried over into the Digital Investor site build. The summary product specification document that is provided with your proposal/estimate indicates how features and functions will be displayed, implemented, and customized.

•

If there are items that you wish to include in your Digital Investor build, we can work on a consultative basis with you to estimate these items for possible inclusion.

•

All functions will follow the standard Digital Investor Product Specifications unless noted. Customizations beyond those specifications will necessitate a change of scope which may impact timeline and cost.

Deliverables. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no rights in or to any of the deliverables other than as provided herein. Customer shall be entitled to use such deliverables, as outlined in the SOW attached hereto, solely in conjunction with its use of the Services and Customer shall not use deliverables to connect Customer to any transfer agency system or any other person without ALPS’s prior written approval. Customer also agrees not to take any action which would mask, delete or otherwise alter any on-screen disclaimers of ALPS or its Affiliates (including electronic forms which Users are required to accept) and copyright, trademark and service mark notifications provided by ALPS or its affiliates from time to time, or any “point and click” features relating to User acknowledgment and acceptance of such disclaimers and notifications.

Digital Investor Platform Development Services will be based upon the elements mutually agreed to between Customer and ALPS, as set forth in the Initial Professional Service Schedule – Digital Investor Pages, and product specification documents. To assist with the development of the Digital Investor Platform, ALPS will use standard components, functions, and business rules of the Digital Investor Platform as a baseline for requirements and development. In some cases, excluding and/or removing functionality from the Digital Investor Platform standard components may be detrimental to the project from a cost or timeline perspective.

Customer’s Digital Investor web site will include all of the features and functionality listed in the Initial Professional Services Schedule, including the custom options listed. Wording and content changes on the site will be accommodated as reasonably requested by Customer in accordance with the platform requirements.

Any changes to these workflows will follow the project change control process.

Professional Services will perform testing of Customer’s platform to determine its (i) conformity with the standards of certain frequently used browsers; and (ii) mobile devices, in accordance with standard practices. Please note that responsive design is an approach to web design aimed at providing an optimal viewing experience across a very wide range of devices. Some functionality may contain data elements or screen structures (tables) that are not optimal for smaller screen sizes. These features will be functional but are optimized to the extent possible given the restrictions of the screen.

Change control for Professional Services will be governed by an industry standard change management process. In general, any revised and/or new workflows will be mutually agreed upon by Customer and Professional Services.

User Acceptance Testing. User Acceptance Testing (“UAT”) will be completed by Customer. ALPS agrees to provide resource allocations if necessary that are adequate to complete first round and second round (defect remediation testing) of testing per the project schedule.

Multi-Factor Authentication Services. ALPS will provide ALPS Multi-Factor Authentication (“MFA”) as one of the services provided to Customer pursuant to the terms of the Services Exhibit for Digital Investor Platform Services (the “Master Agreement”) between Customer and ALPS. Any terms not defined in these Terms and Conditions shall have the same meaning as the terms in the Master Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions will control such conflict with respect to the services provided hereunder.

1. Customers’ Services Subscription. ALPS grants Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, nontransferable right to use certain services of ThreatMetrix, Inc. (“ThreatMetrix”) (the “ThreatMetrix Services”), and any other materials or intellectual property ALPS provides to Customer in connection with the ThreatMetrix Services (the “ThreatMetrix Materials”), solely for Customer’s own internal business purposes, namely: (i) identity verification; (ii) mitigation of financial and business risk; (iii) detection, investigation, assessment, monitoring and prevention of fraud and other crime; and/or (iv) compliance with anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CTF), anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) and similar laws, after implementation and configuration of Customer’s website, and subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement. Customer shall not: (i) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the ThreatMetrix Services or the ThreatMetrix Services Data contained therein; or (ii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the ThreatMetrix Services or their related systems or networks. “ThreatMetrix Services Data” shall include the following: any technology embodied or implemented in the ThreatMetrix Services or ThreatMetrix Materials; any computer code provided by ThreatMetrix for Customer’s website or computer network; any hosting environment made accessible by Customer for purposes of obtaining the ThreatMetrix Services; any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or feedback related to the ThreatMetrix Services; any user device data, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, anonymous device information, machine learning data, user data persistent in the ThreatMetrix network, device reports, or transaction histories; and any corollaries, associations, and ThreatMetrix conclusions pertaining to or arising out of any of the foregoing. Customer will provide ThreatMetrix Services Data to ThreatMetrix as may be necessary for ThreatMetrix to provide to Customer the ThreatMetrix Services. Customer will take such actions as may be legally and technically necessary to allow ThreatMetrix to collect ThreatMetrix Services Data Customer decides to receive in connection with the ThreatMetrix Services.

2. Legal Compliance. Customer will use, and Customer will require that Customer’s customers use, the ThreatMetrix Services in compliance with applicable law including, without limitation, those laws related to data privacy, international communications, and the transmission of technical or personal data. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will be responsible for any notifications or approvals required from Customer’s customers or, if applicable, clients of Customer’s customers, arising out of any use of the ThreatMetrix Services including, without limitation, those relating to any computer code deposited on any device and any information secured from such customers or clients (or their respective devices). Customer also will be responsible for compliance with laws and regulations in all applicable jurisdictions concerning the data of Customer’s customers or clients of Customer’s customers. For the avoidance of doubt, ALPS confirms that to the extent ALPS and/or ThreatMetrix Services receives personal data of Customer, Customer’s customers or clients of Customer’s customers that is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”), ALPS and/or ThreatMetrix Services will act as a service provider and will comply with the obligations of a service provider under the CCPA.

attributes which correlate to a device(s) used in a fraudulent transaction, but do not determine the eligibility of any individual for credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ThreatMetrix does not intend that the Device Reports, or any ThreatMetrix Materials, be considered consumer reports subject to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”). Customer represents that it will not use the Device Reports (or any other data provided by ThreatMetrix) for making credit eligibility decisions or for any other impermissible purpose listed in Section 604 of the FCRA (15 U.S.C. §1681b). In addition, Customer shall not, and shall not permit any representative or third party to: (a) copy all or any portion of any ThreatMetrix Materials; (b) decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer (except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding a contractual obligation to the contrary) the ThreatMetrix Services or ThreatMetrix Materials, or any portion thereof, or determine or attempt to determine any source code, algorithms, methods, or techniques used or embodied in the ThreatMetrix Services or any ThreatMetrix Materials or any portion thereof; (c) modify, translate, or otherwise create any derivative works based upon the ThreatMetrix Services or ThreatMetrix Materials; (d) distribute, disclose, market, rent, lease, assign, sublicense, pledge, or otherwise transfer the ThreatMetrix Services or ThreatMetrix Materials, in whole or in part, to any third party; or (e) remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols, or labels appearing on the ThreatMetrix Services or in any ThreatMetrix Materials.

5. Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless ThreatMetrix and its licensors, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (i) any claim alleging that use of any information or data provided by Customer, any of Customer’s customers, or any individual or entity whose information Customer has indicated should be used in connection with the ThreatMetrix Services, infringes the rights of, or has caused harm to, a third party; (ii) any refusal to process any action requested by a user of a device based on Customer’s use of any Device Reports provided to Customer by the ThreatMetrix Services or Customer’s use of the ThreatMetrix Services; or (iii) Customer’s failure to provide data to ThreatMetrix in the format prescribed by ThreatMetrix.

6. Limitation of Liability. THE THREATMETRIX SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE DEVICE REPORTS, AND ANY OTHER SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED AS IS. THREATMETRIX HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE THREATMETRIX SERVICES AND THREATMETRIX MATERIALS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL THREATMETRIX’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OR COMBINATION OF CLAIMS EXCEED ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100).

7. Third-Party Rights. This agreement confers rights and remedies upon ThreatMetrix. The parties may not modify or terminate this agreement without the prior written consent of ThreatMetrix.

8. Customer Acknowledgements. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ALPS has engaged ThreatMetrix, Inc. as a third party vendor to provide some or all of the services hereunder and that ALPS disclaims all liability for the performance of the vendor’s services and will not be liable with respect to any claims for losses, damages, costs or expenses which may result directly or indirectly from such vendor’s delivery of the services hereunder.
