Appendix A

AMENDED AND RESTATED

SCHEDULE A

AMG Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund

For services provided to the Fund Account, the Manager will pay a base quarterly fee for each calendar quarter at an annual rate of [    ]% of the average net assets in the Fund Account during the quarter. Average assets shall be determined using the average daily net assets in the Fund Account during the quarter. The fee shall be pro-rated for any calendar quarter during which the contract is in effect for only a portion of the quarter. The fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of the sum of: (i) any investment management fees waived by the Manager pursuant to an expense limitation or reimbursement agreement with the Fund, (ii) any reimbursement of Fund expenses by the Manager pursuant to an expense limitation or reimbursement agreement with the Fund, and (iii) any payments made by the Manager to third parties that provide distribution, shareholder services or similar services on behalf of the Fund. If the foregoing calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall be payable by the Subadviser to the Manager within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Manager, which notice shall include the basis for the calculation.
