General Terms
| 1. | Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Existing Agreement. |
| 2. | The Parties’ duties and obligations are governed by and limited to the express terms and conditions of this Amendment, and shall not be modified, supplemented, amended or interpreted in accordance with, any industry custom or practice, or any internal policies or procedures of any Party. This Amendment (including any attachments, schedules and addenda hereto), along with the Existing Agreement, as amended, contains the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between the Parties with respect thereto. |
| 3. | This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed to be an original. Such counterparts together will constitute one agreement. Signatures may be exchanged via facsimile or electronic mail and signatures so exchanged shall be binding to the same extent as if original signatures were exchanged. |
| 4. | This Amendment and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it, its subject matter or its formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the same jurisdiction as the Existing Agreement. |
| 5. | The Parties acknowledge that each Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust is on file with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that this Amendment is executed or made by or on behalf of each Trust by an officer as an officer and not individually. The Parties further acknowledge that the obligations of each Trust under this Amendment and the Existing Agreement are not binding upon any Trustee, officer or shareholder of any series of a Trust individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the applicable Trust or upon the assets belonging to the applicable series of a Trust and that the rights and any liabilities and obligations of any one such series or Trust are separate and distinct from those of any other Trust or series of a Trust. With respect to any obligations of a Trust and its series arising under this Amendment or the Existing Agreement, ALPS shall look for satisfaction of any such obligation solely to the assets and property of such Trust and such series to which such obligation relates. |
