Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2022, United States Commodity Index Funds Trust (the “Registrant”), United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), the sponsor of the Registrant and ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ALPS”), entered into Amendment 6 to the Marketing Agent Agreement (the “Amendment”) for each of the United States Commodity Index Fund (“USCI”) and the United States Copper Index Fund (“CPER”), which are series of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Marketing Agent Agreement, USCF pays ALPS a marketing agent fee for distribution-related services in connection with the offering of the shares of USCI and CPER. The Amendment revises and clarifies the scope of services that ALPS will perform with respect to the shares of USCI and CPER and reduces the annual fee that USCF will pay to ALPS for its provision of such services to CPER. The annual fee that USCF pays to ALPS for its provision of the aforementioned services to USCI is unchanged.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.13 and is incorporated herein by reference.
