For the Additional Services, the Fund will pay to ALPS an annual fee equal to $-*

 

* This fee is subject to an annual cost of living adjustment as described in Section 2(a) of the Agreement.

 

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

 

Third Party Expenses:

 

All third party expenses incurred in providing the Additional Services will be billed to the Fund, 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 Fund receives services as part of an existing ALPS relationship or agreement, the Fund 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 Fund as incurred.
