ALPS agrees to abide by the terms of the following expense guidelines as set forth immediately below and as amended from time to time:

 

Context Capital Funds Expense Guidelines 

 

Rev. 9/2015

 

General

 

Foreside will reimburse ALPS for actually incurred out-of-pocket expenses with no mark-up, provided those expenses are reasonable and comply with the guidelines set forth below. Foreside expects ALPS to use their best efforts to minimize reimbursable out-of-pocket costs both by avoiding unnecessary expenditures and by taking advantage of volume discounts and bulk arrangements that may be available either through the Trust, Foreside or otherwise.

 

Travel 

 

Foreside expects ALPS to avoid unnecessary travel through such alternatives as teleconferencing. Only coach air fare and mid-size rental cars will be reimbursed. Luxury transportation, including limousines and hire cars, will not be reimbursed unless Foreside has approved the expense in advance. If the service provider is traveling on business for more than one client, Foreside expects the service provider to apportion the expenses appropriately.

 

 C-2

 

 

Meals and Accommodations

 

Foreside expects ALPS to use good judgment in selecting hotels and restaurants while traveling on Trust business. Foreside shall reimburse business class hotels and not luxury hotels. Personal incidental expenses incurred while working on Trust matters will not be reimbursed and must be distinguished from those expenses that are appropriately charged to Foreside.
