The above fees are based on assumptions derived from the Trust’s historical portfolio information and/or information provided by the Trust. ALPS’ fees are subject to revision by ALPS, upon prior notice to and acceptance by the Adviser and the Trust, if ALPS determines that the Trust’s portfolio composition changes or additional work is required by ALPS as compared to what ALPS originally contemplated for its provision of the Additional Services. The Trust’s use of alternative data suppliers may result in additional fees as determined by ALPS and accepted by the Adviser and the Trust.

 

Third Party Expenses:

 

All third party expenses incurred in providing the Additional Services will be billed to the Adviser, including, but not limited to, expenses related to security reference data, portfolio risk metrics, valuation leveling and/or similar data provided by third party suppliers. For third party suppliers from which the Trust receives services as part of an existing ALPS relationship or agreement, the Adviser will be billed the amount attributable to the services it received, calculated before application of any discount that ALPS may receive as part of its overall relationship with the supplier (if applicable). All expenses in which a third party supplier does not have an established relationship with ALPS will be billed to the Adviser as incurred.
