AMENDMENT NO. 2

TO THE SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”), made and entered into as of September 20, 2017, is made a part of the Subadvisory Agreement between Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, (formerly known as RiverSource Investments, LLC), a Minnesota limited liability company (“Investment Manager”) and Massachusetts Financial Services Company, a Delaware corporation (“Subadviser”), dated April 8, 2010, as amended February 10, 2016 (the “Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Investment Manager and Subadviser desire to amend the Agreement, including Schedule A thereto.

WHEREAS, the effective date of this Amendment is October 1, 2017.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

  1. Schedule A. Schedule A to the Agreement shall be, and hereby is, deleted and replaced with the Schedule A attached hereto.

 

  2. Compensation of Subadviser. Section 4 of the Agreement shall be, and hereby is deleted and replaced with the following:

For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement, Investment Manager will pay to Subadviser, as of the effective date of this Agreement, as amended, a fee which shall be determined daily and paid monthly, on or before the last business day of the next succeeding calendar month, at the annual rates set forth in the attached Schedule A which Schedule can be modified from time to time upon mutual agreement of the parties to reflect, among other matters, changes in annual rates, subject to appropriate approvals required, if any, under the 1940 Act. If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the fee for the period from the effective date to the end of the month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion that such portion of the month bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs. During the term of this Agreement, Subadviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement other than costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other assets (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Fund.


  3. Duration and Termination. Section 9(a) shall be, and hereby is, deleted and replaced with the following:

“Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement, with respect to each Fund identified on Schedule A (as amended from time to time), shall continue from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Thereafter, if not terminated with respect to a Fund, this Agreement shall continue automatically for successive periods of 12 months each, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the Board members who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, and (ii) by the Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund.
