Preamble

Solactive shall calculate, maintain and disseminate various indices (hereinafter each an "Index" and together, the "Indices") from time to time during the term of this Agreement and as agreed between the Parties by the execution of an Order Schedule in respect of such Index or Indices in substantially the form set out in Addendum 1. In so doing Solactive may be supported by third parties. The Indices shall consist in particular of the index levels and the calculation parameters (like weightings, capping factors and other similar data) of the Indices (hereinafter the "Index Data") and the respective method of compilation and calculation (the "Index Methodology"). The Parties agree that Solactive shall calculate, maintain and disseminate the Indices; however, any special rights (including but not limited to intellectual property rights and the Index Methodology) in the Indices shall remain with the Partner. Should this Agreement be terminated at any time after the date of this Agreement, the Partner shall continue to be entitled to use the Index Data after the termination of this Agreement.

Therefore, the Parties enter into the following Agreement:

§ 1 Index Calculation

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Solactive will continually calculate the Indices set out in the relevant Order Schedule and will continually maintain and disseminate them from (and including), in each case, the relevant Index Calculation Start Date (as set out in the applicable Order Schedule).

Solactive shall use its best endeavors to ensure that the Indices are calculated and maintained correctly.

Details including but not limited to calculation and maintenance of the Indices shall be stipulated in the respective Index Methodology agreed upon between the Parties. For this purpose the Partner shall provide the necessary Index specification pursuant to the relevant Order Schedule.

The scope of the services provided by Solactive includes setting up the Indices and continuous calculation and maintenance of the Indices in accordance with the Index Methodology. Setting up the Indices includes establishing the name, parameters, exchange rates, calculation days, calculation term, etc., in connection with the Indices. Maintaining the Indices includes but is not limited to necessary adjustment of the Indices according to capital measures, such as split of shares or capital increase, or after dividend payments related to shares, which are elements of the Indices, and adjustments to the Indices in the framework of extraordinary or ordinary adjustments. For adjustments to the Indices in the framework of maintenance, if agreed to by both Parties, Solactive shall provide one indication (if feasible in the time available) and one final adjustment. The indication consists of a hypothetical calculation of the composition of the Index taking account of the proposed adjustment which will only be made upon written approval by the Partner or as agreed between the Parties; the final adjustment involves converting the Index calculation taking account of the adjustment to be made.

If agreed to by the Partner, Solactive shall post the current Index composition (Index name, elements and weighting) on its website.

Solactive shall use the criteria for compiling and calculating the Indices, and the weighting and the calculation formula set out in the respective Index Methodology on behalf of the Partner.

If there should be unforeseeable circumstances which necessitate an extraordinary or ordinary adjustment to an Index, Solactive shall prepare the adjustment taking account the stipulations of the Index Methodology, notify the Partner of such circumstances as soon as it becomes aware of them and coordinate further procedures with the Partner. If it is not possible to contact the Partner and such circumstance requires an immediate extraordinary adjustment, Solactive may make the extraordinary adjustment (in accordance with the Index Methodology), in the interest of the Partner.

§2 Dissemination of Indices

Solactive is entitled to include and distribute the Indices in a market data dissemination. Dissemination of the Indices comprises the prices of the Indices (hereinafter the "Index Prices") and an ISIN code. Solactive shall stipulate the technical format of the dissemination and may modify this as required at its own discretion without prior coordination with the Partner.

To the extent that Indices and the Index Prices of the Partner which have been disseminated via a market data dissemination are used by any vendor, re-vendor or third party in breach of the provisions of the market data usage agreements, this shall not give rise to any claims of the Partner against Solactive. If Solactive becomes aware of any abuse, however, it will use its best endeavors to prohibit and terminate or procure to terminate this abuse as soon as possible.

Any revenue obtained from the market data dissemination of the Indices and the Index Prices shall inure solely to Solactive.

Solactive is not obliged to ensure that any vendor or re-vendor will display the Index Prices of the Partner. Any additional fee (the “Vendor Fee”) payable to any vendor or re-vendor for displaying the Index Data will be paid by the Partner. The Vendor Fee will only be payable after the prior written consent of the Partner. If Partner does not agree to pay the Vendor Fee, Partner acknowledges that the Index Data might not be displayed by a vendor or re-vendor.

Solactive is not required to oblige vendors and re-vendors to indicate the Partner as a source when it presents the Partner's Index Prices. Instead Solactive may require vendors and re-vendors to display "Source: Solactive AG" as the general source.

§ 3 Rights in Indices and Index Prices

Solactive hereby exclusively transfers to the Partner any special rights in the Indices and the Index Prices – in as far as such rights do not belong to third parties, the Partner or affiliates of the Partner. However, Solactive may use the Indices and the Index Prices free of charge to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement only.

The Partner may disseminate Indices and Index Prices itself or disseminate public information provided to it by Solactive internally or externally or grant third parties access to such information. The Partner is entitled to name the Indices and present Index Prices in marketing materials and on its own website. The Partner shall not disseminate the information referred to in this subparagraph to any third party, in case the Partner is aware of any such third party being a vendor or re-vendor at the time of dissemination.

At the request of Solactive, the Partner shall provide evidence that the afore-mentioned obligations have been fulfilled. However, Partner shall not be subject to any such request or audit more than once in a 12-month period without evidence of noncompliance with § 3(2).

Solactive shall not license any of the Indices to any other party, without prior written consent of the Partner.

§ 4 Utilization Right

The Partner hereby grants Solactive for the term of this Agreement the non-exclusive and non-transferable right, unrestricted in content, to publish the Indices calculated by it and listed in the relevant Order Schedule, and use them for its own advertising purposes.

Solactive is entitled to commercially use the Index Data for dissemination and publication to third parties that are active in the analysis of ETFs and the respective underlying indices.

Solactive shall maintain the Indices in accordance with the Index Methodology.

§ 5 Obligations of Parties regarding calculated Indices

As far as is possible and can reasonably be expected each Party shall provide the other on request with all information available to it on the Indices. This obligation to provide information is limited to information and Index Data which are publicly available. In particular it does not include information and data which are classified as operating or business secrets of the Parties or for which one Party is obliged to observe confidentiality for other reasons.

The calculations of the Indices are generated automatically and only monitored by an employee of Solactive during the trading hours of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange (Baden-Württembergische Wertpapierbörse), however at most between 09:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. CET. At all other times the calculations are generated automatically without being monitored by a Solactive employee.

If Solactive notices that it has made an error in calculating the Index it shall notify the Partner without undue delay, but not later than 24 hours after discovering the error, through the usual information channels and, as far as necessary, shall notify the Partner as soon as reasonably practicable of any necessary corrections.

If agreed by the Parties, the Partner shall provide the criteria and data (the "Data") reasonably required by Solactive for compiling and calculating the Indices pursuant to the relevant Order Schedule on an ongoing basis. In relation to the Data, the Partner shall be responsible for the completeness, correctness and sufficiency of the Data to effectively allow Solactive to perform the obligations created under this Agreement.

Solactive, in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, may, from time to time, rely on certain non-personal data from third parties and in some cases, provide such data to Partner (the "Third Party Data").

The use of Third Party Data by Partner may, in some cases: (a) be subject to the prior consent of a third party data provider (each a "Third Party Data Provider"); (b) require Solactive to disclose the identity of Partner to a Third Party Data Provider; (c) require Partner to obtain a separate license with a Third Party Data Provider; and/or (d) any other action as may be required by a Third Party Data Provider ((a), (b), (c) and (d) collectively, the "Third Party Data Requirements"). In each case, Solactive shall inform Partner of the Third Party Data Requirements (the "Third Party Data Communication"). In the event Partner does not wish to comply and/or declares its unwillingness to comply with such Third Party Data Requirements, Solactive shall not be obligated to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement and may terminate the relevant service granted under this Agreement as well as the entire Agreement by providing Partner thirty (30) calendar days written notice from the date of Solactive's Third Party Data Communication.

Where a Third Party Data Provider requires Partner to enter into an agreement directly with the Third Party Data Provider in respect of the Third Party Data, Partner shall, upon request of Solactive, supply a copy of such agreement to Solactive (the "Third Party Data Agreement Request"). If Partner fails to provide the applicable agreement or confirmation by the date specified in the Third Party Data Agreement Request, Solactive shall not be obligated to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

During the term of the Agreement, the Partner may make suggestions for changing the criteria for compiling and calculating the Indices or including additional index specifications. Solactive shall examine the feasibility of the proposals and take a decision on an implementation. In case of the implementation, § 2 of the Order Schedule of the Index concerned will be updated. If the changes have an effect on the calculation, maintenance or dissemination of the Indices, and if this increases Solactive’s work, Solactive may increase the remuneration, upon Solactive providing written and convincing evidence of such increased work to the Partner. If Solactive proposes to increase the remuneration it shall notify the Partner in writing with 30 calendar days' prior notice. The remuneration shall not be increased without the prior written consent of the Partner.

§ 6 Issuer's Statement

The Partner shall indicate clearly that the financial instruments issued by the Partner are not issued by Solactive. It shall therefore include the following text or substantially equivalent text in any securities prospectus, including new editions or updates thereof, or contract, including updates, vis-à-vis third parties regarding financial instruments:

"The financial instrument is not sponsored, promoted, sold or supported in any other manner by Solactive AG nor does Solactive AG offer any express or implicit guarantee or assurance either with regard to the results of using the Index and/or Index trade xxxx or the Index Price at any time or in any other respect. The Index is calculated and published by Solactive AG. Solactive AG uses its best efforts to ensure that the Index is calculated correctly. Irrespective of its obligations towards the Issuer, Solactive AG has no obligation to point out errors in the Index to third parties including but not limited to investors and/or financial intermediaries of the financial instrument. Neither publication of the Index by Solactive AG nor the licensing of the Index or Index trade xxxx for the purpose of use in connection with the financial instrument constitutes a recommendation by Solactive AG to invest capital in said financial instrument nor does it in any way represent an assurance or opinion of Solactive AG with regard to any investment in this financial instrument".

§ 7 Trade Xxxx Rights

The Partner warrants that it is the owner of the trade marks specified in the relevant Order Schedule or that is granted sufficient rights of use in the trade marks to implement this Agreement including the right to grant rights to Solactive as provided for in this Agreement.

The Partner hereby grants Solactive for the term of the Agreement the non-exclusive and non-transferable right, unrestricted in content, to use the trade marks listed in the relevant Order Schedule subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

Solactive agrees only to use the trade marks listed in the relevant Order Schedule in their registered form.

As far as technically possible, Solactive shall post a license statement of the trade marks listed in the relevant Order Schedule at the beginning of any written or electronic use. Unless specific circumstances make a different procedure more appropriate the license statement shall take the form of the ® symbol and a footnote explaining that the trade xxxx is a registered trade xxxx of the Partner or a third party. If a particular Index consists of trademarks which have different owners, it is sufficient for the "®" symbol to be used once only at the end of the full name provided that the footnote makes it clear that there is more than one trade xxxx owner.

The Partner shall indemnify Solactive for any claims which may be filed against Solactive by third parties with regard to use of the trade marks listed in the relevant Order Schedule in as far as these are used by Solactive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

Where the Partner does not include any trade xxxx or deviating trade marks in relation to the index name in the relevant Order Schedule, Partner hereby warrants by means of an independent guarantee that the Index name and its use by Solactive does and will not infringe or otherwise breach any third party trademarks or other third party rights of any kind. The Partner shall indemnify Solactive from any direct or indirect claims potentially raised against Solactive in that context.

§ 8 Liability of the Parties

Solactive shall be obliged to fulfil its contractual obligations assumed hereunder, in particular the calculation of the Indices, with the care of a prudent businessman. Solactive shall be liable for direct losses particularly those arising from incorrect calculation of the Indices as provided for under § 9.

The Partner shall be obliged to ensure and hereby warrants by means of an independent guarantee that (i) the acceptance, use and processing of the Data (as defined in § 5(4) herein) provided by the Partner to Solactive in accordance with this Agreement and that (ii) the publication of the processed Data and Indices based on the processed Data does and will not infringe or otherwise breach third party rights of any kind. The Partner shall indemnify Solactive from any direct or indirect claims potentially raised against Solactive in that context.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability

Solactive has unlimited liability for injury to life, body or health; and losses incurred by the Licensee caused by intent. Solactive’s liability for losses of the Partner caused by gross negligence shall be limited to 100% of the remuneration already paid over the previous 12 months for the Index which has given rise to the respective loss for each loss occurrence and to 100% of the remuneration already paid over the previous 12 months for the Index which has given rise to the respective loss for all loss occurrences on aggregate per calendar year. Solactive’s liability for losses of the Partner caused by negligence or simple negligence shall be limited to 25% of the remuneration already paid over the previous six months for the Index which has given rise to the respective loss for each loss occurrence and to 25% of the remuneration already paid over the previous 12 months for the Index which has given rise to the respective loss for all loss occurrences on aggregate per calendar year. The Parties agree that incorrect calculation by Solactive of the Index as a result of negligence shall merely constitute simple negligence as opposed to gross negligence unless in an individual case the Partner proves that the incorrect calculation was the result of gross negligence.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits Solactive’s liability to the extent that any applicable law precludes or prohibits any exclusion or limitation of liability. Solactive shall not be liable to Partner for any indirect or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost time, lost money, lost profits or good-will, whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not such damages are foreseen or unforeseen.

The Partner's claims for compensation shall be subject to a statute of limitations of two years except in the case of liability owing to intent or gross negligence. The limitation period shall begin at the end of the year in which the claim arose and the Partner gains knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and the identity of the debtor or would have gained knowledge thereof had it not been committing gross negligence.

Solactive shall not be liable for losses incurred owing to force majeure, unrest, war and natural occurrences or other events for which it is not responsible (e.g. strikes, lock-outs, disruption to transport, orders issued by domestic and foreign authorities not caused by culpable conduct) or disruptions to technical installations such as the IT system which have not been caused by culpable conduct. Force majeure shall also include computer viruses or attacks on IT systems by hackers provided that suitable precautionary measures have been taken and Solactive did not act in a culpable manner in making the virus or hacker attack possible.

Partner shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate the losses and damages it incurs in relation to any claim or action which it brings against Solactive. A breach of this duty may lead to a reduction of the claim for damages of Partner against Solactive.

Solactive does not accept liability for losses of any type whatsoever caused to the Partner or third parties in connection with the issue, marketing, quoting, trade or advertising of the financial instruments issued by the Partner. The Partner indemnifies Solactive in this respect for any third party claims provided that Solactive did not cause these intentionally or by way of gross negligence.

§ 10 Remuneration

The Partner shall pay remuneration in return for calculation, maintenance and dissemination of the Indices from (and including) the Index Calculation Start Date in accordance with the remuneration schedule set out in § 10 in conjunction with the applicable Order Schedule plus value added tax at the applicable statutory rate as provided for in § 11 below.

xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxx.xx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx_xxxxxx.

The relevant month will be November which is published by Eurostat in December of each year.

If agreed between the Parties, regular reporting to Solactive on the financial instruments issued will be necessary so that the remuneration can be calculated and billed.

The issues shall be reported quarterly by the seventh trading day (according to the trading calendar of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange) of the month following a quarter’s end (“Reporting Deadline”).

If the remuneration for an index is calculated on the basis of the average assets under management, the average assets under management must be reported as well as the frame data of the financial instruments which refer to the corresponding Index.

The agreed fixed remuneration will be charged annually in advance. In the case a security has not been outstanding over an entire month, the remuneration is reduced respectively.

The agreed variable remuneration will be charged per calendar quarter. Remuneration will be due for each calendar month for each Index. This remuneration shall be the product of

the average assets under management of a financial instrument issued on the basis of the respective Index during the month and

the remuneration per annum shown in the applicable Order Schedule in basis points divided by 12.

In the case a security has not been outstanding over an entire month, the remuneration is reduced respectively.

Variable remuneration will be charged to the Partner as soon as the data has been reported and evaluated.

If the regular Reporting Deadline has expired and the Partner has not submitted the outstanding report to Solactive by the end of the next reporting deadline following the expired reporting deadline despite having been sent a reminder, Solactive may make a provisional estimate of the remuneration due at its due discretion using suitable criteria (such as data reported for the previous months) and charge this to the Partner as an advance on the actual amount due. This shall have no effect on the right to terminate without notice.

Solactive shall issue an invoice annually in advance for fixed remunerations due and quarterly in retrospect for variable remunerations due. All invoices shall be due within 30 calendar days of receiving the invoice, at which time Partner will be subject to a default interest of nine percentage points per annum above the respective base interest rate as announced by the Deutsche Bundesbank in the Federal Gazette shall be due calculated as of delivery of the invoice, and Solactive is entitled to claim a lump sum amounting to 40 Euro. This shall have no effect on Solactive’s right to reimbursement of any default loss over and above this.

The Parties agree that there shall be no entitlement to remuneration over and above that set out in the applicable Order Schedule or to reimbursement of expenses or costs.

§ 11 Taxes

The Partner shall pay any applicable value-added, sales, goods and services or similar taxes that Solactive might be required to charge and remit. The Partner shall not be responsible for taxes payable by Solactive, if and to the extent that tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by Solactive.

The Partner shall make all payments to be made by it without deduction of any taxes, unless a tax deduction is required by law. If a tax deduction is required by law to be made by the Partner, the amount of the payment due from the Partner shall be increased to an amount which (after making any tax deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no tax deduction had been required.

The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other to determine and minimize their respective tax liabilities. Solactive will cooperate with the Partner’s reasonable requests for tax-related information and documents.

§ 12 Term of Agreement

This Agreement takes effect when it has been signed by both Parties.

This Agreement is effective for an indefinite term.

§ 13 Termination of Agreement

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable Order Schedule, each service shall be effective on and from the index calculation start date set forth in the applicable Order Schedule and shall continue for an initial period of two (2) years (the “Service Initial Term”) and thereafter shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year (each a “Service Renewal Term” and together with the Service Initial Term, the “Service Term”).

A service may be terminated by either Party by providing written notice to the other Party at least one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days prior to the earlier of the end of: (a) the Service Initial Term; or (b) a Service Renewal Term.

Each party may also terminate this Agreement without notice for good cause. Good cause shall be deemed present, in particular, if the other party to the Agreement is in breach of material contractual obligations and if such party does not put an end to the breach within a reasonable deadline set in writing despite a formal warning. Inter alia there is a breach of material contractual obligations if a third party asserts a right with regard to a trade xxxx which falls under the subject of the Agreement. The Partner shall report this to Solactive unrequested.

Instead of terminating the entire Agreement for good cause the Parties may also prohibit the calculation of individual Indices by way of termination in respect of one or more Indices only, allowing the rest of the Agreement to continue to apply.

Solactive has a special termination right allowing it to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part with a notice period of 90 calendar days if the costs in one calendar quarter to Solactive for necessary use of the data of the stock exchanges in connection with calculation of an Index increase to such an extent that they exceed the remuneration received by Solactive pursuant to § 10 in the same period for this Index. Solactive shall only be entitled to termination of this Agreement in accordance with this subparagraph, in case Solactive has provided the Partner with sufficient proof of such increased costs and the Partner has been offered the option to increase the remuneration, taking into account such increased costs. Should the Partner offer to increase the remuneration in accordance with this subparagraph, Solactive shall not be entitled to use this special termination right.

Any termination declarations associated with this Agreement shall be made in writing.

Following any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this § 13, Solactive shall cease the calculation of the Indices and Index Prices and dissemination immediately. Upon request from the Partner, Solactive shall transfer all Index Data and the Index Methodology and all rights relating thereto to the Partner (whether such rights be intellectual property rights or otherwise).

§ 14 Transfer of Solactive’s Rights and Obligations to a Third Party

Solactive may request the Partner to consent to this Agreement being transferred to a third party, in which case such consent shall not unreasonably be withheld by the Partner. This shall not apply if there are cogent reasons associated with the identity of the third party which preclude such consent and if such reasons make it unreasonable to expect the Partner to consent to such third parties assuming this Agreement, even if the interests of Solactive are taken into account.

§ 15 Transfer of Duties to Third Parties

Solactive may use third parties as vicarious agents. This includes in particular companies which take decisions jointly with Solactive on the composition and amendments to the composition of the Indices.

§ 16 Confidentiality

The Parties shall use all matters, facts and information concerning the Parties in connection with this Agreement (hereinafter "Confidential Information") solely for the purposes described in this Agreement and shall treat such Confidential Information confidentially unless they are required to disclose it by any applicable statute, law, regulation or written and legally enforceable policy or by legal process or an order or requirement of a court of competent jurisdiction or government department or agency. This applies in particular to the amount of remuneration due under this Agreement and to the content of this Agreement. The Parties shall impose this confidentiality obligation on any vicarious agents, members of corporate bodies, employees or advisers who are given access to the Confidential Information. In so doing, the Parties shall ensure, to the extent admissible under employment law, that the confidentiality obligation imposed on the employees shall continue to apply in the event that employees leave the services of a Party under obligation during the term of this confidentiality obligation. If Confidential Information is disclosed to third parties the other party shall be informed in writing without undue delay.

These confidentiality obligations shall apply for the term of this Agreement and for a five-year period after it has ended or after complete fulfilment of Solactive’s obligations under this Agreement.

This confidentiality obligation shall not apply to such information which can be proved to have been

known to the recipient prior to communication,

publicly known at the time of communication,

publicly known after its communication without the recipient being responsible for this,

made available to the recipient by a third party by lawful means after communication and without restriction with respect to confidentiality or use,

developed by the recipient independently prior to communication.

Addendum 2 CUSIP

If Partner receives CUSIPs or CGS ISINs as part of this Agreement, the following terms apply:

Partner agrees and acknowledges that the CUSIP Database and the information contained therein is and shall remain valuable intellectual property owned by, or licensed to, CUSIP Global Services (“CGS”) and the American Bankers Association (“ABA”), and that no proprietary rights are being transferred to Partner in such materials or in any of the information contained therein. Any use by Partner outside of the clearing and settlement of transactions requires a license from CGS, along with an associated fee based on usage. Partner agrees that misappropriation or misuse of such materials will cause serious damage to CGS and ABA and that in such event money damages may not constitute sufficient compensation to CGS and ABA; consequently, Partner agrees that in the event of any misappropriation or misuse, CGS and ABA shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief in addition to any other legal or financial remedies to which CGS and ABA may be entitled.

Partner agrees that Partner shall not publish or distribute in any medium the CUSIP Database or any information contained therein or summaries or subsets thereof to any person or entity except in connection with the normal clearing and settlement of security transactions.

Addendum 4 BM&FBOVESPA

Partner agrees that for the duration of this Agreement and any service provided hereunder, it shall comply with the following terms:

In order for Solactive to calculate Indices that will be commercially used outside the company organization of the Partner, Partner acknowledges that it must have signed a Usage Rights License Agreement with BM&FBOVESPA. Partner shall pay directly to BM&FBOVESPA the applicable fees.

Partner acknowledges that BM&FBOVESPA is the lawful owner and holder of all Intellectual Property Rights related to the Quotations, including the Quotations, that will be used to develop, compile, calculate, publish and/or exploit Indices.

Partner shall grant BM&FBOVESPA a right of first negotiation to license the use of Indices for the development of exchange-traded and exchange-listed futures and options that are based on, or seek to track or match the performance of such Index (“Exchange Products”).

The right of first negotiation shall only apply to Indices that are composed of greater than 50 percent (>50%) Quotations measured by weighting of the Quotations in the Indices (hereinafter an “Eligible Equity Index”). Eligible Equity Indices include all Equity Indices where Partner owns the index, the methodology, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein.

Partner shall notify BM&FBOVESPA of its intention to license an Eligible Equity Index. For a period of six (6) months from the date of notice from Partner, BM&FBOVESPA may exercise the right to license such Eligible Equity Index, during which period Partner shall not engage in negotiations with any other parties for the same purpose. BM&FBOVESPA may also notify Partner of its intention not to license such Eligible Equity Index during such six (6) month period. If BM&FBOVESPA does not enter into a license agreement with Partner during the term aforementioned, then Partner will be free to license the Eligible Equity Index to a third party.

In the event that BM&FBOVESPA enters into a license agreement with Partner to create and list Exchange Product(s) based upon Eligible Equity Index(es), such license will be exclusive and coterminous with this Agreement, provided, however, BM&FBOVESPA will have 6 (six) months from the date of such license agreement to list such Exchange Product(s). In the event that BM&FBOVESPA does not (i) list an Exchange Product based upon such Eligible Equity Index during such period or (ii) reach a minimum of average daily trading volume (ADTV) to be mutually agreed to by the parties on a case by case basis within a 5 (five) year period from the effective date of such license agreement, Partner will have the option to license the relevant Eligible Equity Indices to another Partner. All other terms and conditions of the license agreement between BM&FBOVESPA and Partner related to BM&FBOVESPA’s use of an Eligible Equity Index to create Exchange Products will be on terms and conditions to be negotiated between the Parties, including fees.

§ 1 Index Calculation

Solactive shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Indices are calculated and maintained correctly. Solactive does not have any obligations over and above this regarding the correctness of the index calculation and maintenance; in all other respects § 7 applies.

Solactive may post the current Index composition (Index name, elements and weighting) of certain Indices on the Internet at its due discretion.

Solactive shall maintain the Indices in accordance with the Index guidelines.

Solactive shall use the criteria for compiling and calculating the Indices, and the weighting and the calculation formula, set out in the respective Index guidelines.

Solactive is entitled to develop Index guidelines that provide information on the Indices for investors and other third parties and to publish such guidelines on its websites also.

If there should be unforeseeable circumstances which necessitate an Index adjustment, Solactive shall prepare the adjustment taking account of the stipulations of the Index guideline.

The use of Third-Party Data by the Licensee may, in some cases: (a) be subject to the prior consent of a third-party data provider (each a "Third-Party Data Provider"); (b) require Solactive to disclose the identity of the Licensee to a Third-Party Data Provider; (c) require the Licensee to obtain a separate license with a Third-Party Data Provider; and/or (d) any other action as may be required by a Third-Party Data Provider ((a), (b), (c) and (d) collectively, the "Third-Party Data Requirements"). In each case, Solactive shall inform the Licensee of the Third-Party Data Requirements (the "Third-Party Data Communication"). In the event the Licensee does not wish to comply and/or declares its unwillingness to comply with such Third-Party Data Requirements, Solactive shall not be obligated to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement and may terminate the relevant license granted under this Agreement as well as the entire Agreement by providing the Licensee thirty (30) calendar days written notice from the date of Solactive's Third-Party Data Communication.

10.

Where a Third-Party Data Provider requires the Licensee to enter into an agreement directly with the Third-Party Data Provider in respect of the Third-Party Data, the Licensee shall, upon request of Solactive, supply a copy of such agreement to Solactive (the "Third-Party Data Agreement Request"). If the Licensee fails to provide the applicable agreement or confirmation by the date specified in the Third-Party Data Agreement Request, Solactive shall not be obligated to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

§ 2 Dissemination of Indices

Solactive is entitled and obliged to include and distribute the Indices in a market data dissemination. Dissemination of the Indices entails the prices of the Indices (hereinafter "Index Prices") and the name of the Index. Solactive shall stipulate the technical format of Dissemination and may modify this as required at its own discretion without prior coordination with the Licensee.

To the extent that Indices and the Index Prices which have been disseminated via price marketing activities are used by the contractual Parties under any Market Price Dissemination Agreement or third parties in breach of the provisions of the Price Marketing Agreement for Vendors and Re-vendors this shall not give rise to any claims on the part of the Licensee against Solactive. If Solactive becomes aware of any abuse, it will however endeavor to prohibit it as soon as possible.

Any revenue obtained from the market price dissemination of the Indices and the Index Prices shall inure solely to Solactive.

§ 3 Rights in Indices and Index Prices

The Licensee may not disseminate Indices and Index Prices itself via Vendors or disseminate non-public information provided to it by Solactive internally or externally or grant third parties access to such information. The Licensee is permitted to use and name the Indices in marketing materials and on its own website and to issue financial products, particularly exchange traded funds, linked to the Indices.

As far as possible the Licensee shall make the following statement at the beginning of any written or electronic use of one of the Indices: "Index calculated by Solactive AG". This may take the form of a clearly marked footnote.

At the request of Solactive the Licensee shall provide evidence that the afore-mentioned obligations have been fulfilled. However, Lecensee shall not be subject to any such request or audit more than once in a 12-month period without evidence of noncompliance with § 3(2).

The Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Solactive for any claims which may be asserted against Solactive by third parties owing to use of the name Solactive by the Licensee in connection with the use of the Indices or Index Prices, in particular pursuant to § 2 (2) and § 3 (1).

§ 4 Obligations of Parties regarding calculated Indices

The calculations of the Indices are generated automatically and only monitored by an employee of Solactive during the trading hours of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange (Baden-Württembergische Wertpapierbörse), however at most between 09:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. CET. At all other times the calculations are generated automatically without being monitored by a Solactive employee.

If Solactive notices that it has made an error in calculating the Index it shall notify the Licensee without undue delay, but not later than 24 hours after discovering the error, through the usual information channels and, as far as necessary, shall notify the Licensee as soon as reasonably practicable of any necessary corrections.

§ 5 Issuer's Statement

The Licensee’s regulatory and promotional materials shall under no circumstance give the impression that the financial instruments issued by the Licensee are issued by Solactive. When relevant, these materials shall include the following text or at least material components thereof: "The financial instrument is not sponsored, promoted, sold or supported in any other manner by Solactive AG nor does Solactive AG offer any express or implicit guarantee or assurance either with regard to the results of using the Index and/or Index trade xxxx or the Index Price at any time or in any other respect. The Index is calculated and published by Solactive AG. Solactive AG uses its best efforts to ensure that the Index is calculated correctly. Irrespective of its obligations towards the Issuer, Solactive AG has no obligation to point out errors in the Index to third parties including but not limited to investors and/or financial intermediaries of the financial instrument. Neither publication of the Index by Solactive AG nor the licensing of the Index or Index trade xxxx for the purpose of use in connection with the financial instrument constitutes a recommendation by Solactive AG to invest capital in said financial instrument nor does it in any way represent an assurance or opinion of Solactive AG with regard to any investment in this financial instrument.”

The Licensee and not Solactive is responsible for fulfilling the legal requirements concerning the accuracy and completeness of a securities prospectus for the financial instruments issued by the Licensee.

§ 6 Trade Xxxx Rights

The Licensee warrants that it is the owner of the trademarks specified in the relevant Order Schedule or that is granted sufficient rights of use in the trade marks to implement this Agreement including the right to grant rights to Solactive as provided for in this Agreement.

The Licensee hereby grants Solactive for the term of the Agreement the non-exclusive and non-transferable right, unrestricted in content, to use the trademarks listed in the relevant Order Schedule subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to extend necessary to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

Solactive agrees only to use the trademarks listed in the relevant Order Schedule in their registered form.

As far as technically possible, Solactive shall post a license statement of the trademarks listed in the relevant Order Schedule at the beginning of any written or electronic use. Unless specific circumstances make a different procedure more appropriate the license statement shall take the form of the ® symbol and a footnote explaining that the trade xxxx is a registered trade xxxx of the Licensee or a third party. If a particular Index consists of trademarks which have different owners, it is sufficient for the "®" symbol to be used once only at the end of the full name provided that the footnote makes it clear that there is more than one trade xxxx owner.

The Licensee shall indemnify Solactive for any claims which may be filed against Solactive by third parties with regard to use of the trademarks listed in the relevant Order Schedule in as far as these are used by Solactive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

Where the Licensee does not include any trade xxxx or deviating trade marks in relation to the index name in the relevant Order Schedule, Licensee hereby warrants by means of an independent guarantee that the index name and its use by Solactive does and will not infringe or otherwise breach any third party trademarks or other third party rights of any kind. The Licensee shall indemnify Solactive from any direct or indirect claims potentially raised against Solactive in that context.

§ 7 Obligations of Solactive

Solactive shall fulfil its contractual obligations, in particular the calculation and dissemination of the Indices with the care of a prudent businessman. Solactive shall only be liable for direct or indirect losses particularly those arising from incorrect calculation and dissemination of the Indices as provided for under § 8.

§ 8 Limitation of Liability

Solactive has unlimited liability for injury to life, body or health; and losses incurred by the Licensee caused by intent. Solactive’s liability for losses of the Licensee caused by gross negligence shall be limited to 100 % of the remuneration already paid over the previous 12 months for the Index which has given rise to the respective loss for each loss occurrence and to 100 % of the remuneration already paid over the previous 12 months for the Index which has given rise to the respective loss for all loss occurrences on aggregate per calendar year. Solactive shall not be liable for losses to the Licensee caused by simple negligence. The Parties agree that incorrect calculation by Solactive of the Index as a result of negligence shall merely constitute simple negligence as opposed to gross negligence unless in an individual case the Licensee proves that the incorrect calculation was the result of gross negligence.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits Solactive’s liability to the extent that any applicable law precludes or prohibits any exclusion or limitation of liability. Solactive shall not be liable to Licensee for any indirect or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost time, lost money, lost profits or good-will, whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not such damages are foreseen or unforeseen.

The Licensee's claims for compensation shall be subject to a statute of limitations of two years except in the case of liability owing to intent. The limitation period shall begin at the end of the year in which the claim arose and the Licensee gains knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and the identity of the debtor or would have gained knowledge thereof had if not been committing gross negligence.

Licensee shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate the losses and damages it incurs in relation to any claim or action which it brings against Solactive. A breach of this duty may lead to a reduction of the claim for damages of Licensee against Solactive.

Solactive does not accept liability for losses of any type whatsoever caused to the Licensee or third parties in connection with the issue, marketing, quoting, trade or advertising of the financial instruments issued by the Licensee. The Licensee indemnifies Solactive in this respect for any third party claims provided that Solactive did not cause these intentionally or by way of gross negligence.

§ 9 Remuneration

The Licensee shall pay remuneration in return for calculation, maintenance and dissemination of the Indices from (and including) the Index Calculation Start Date set out in the applicable Order Schedule in accordance with the remuneration schedule set out in the present Section 9 in conjunction with the applicable Order Schedule plus value added tax at the applicable statutory rate as provided for in § 10 below. For the purposes of determining the remuneration, it does not matter whether the transactions are private placements or OTC which do not have an ISIN.

In case of inflation in Europe, the fixed remuneration will be adjusted annually depending on the 12 months average performance of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) – All items of the Euro area, published by Eurostat on a monthly basis on their website: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxx.xx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx_xxxxxx. The relevant month will be November which is published by Eurostat in December of each year.

If agreed between the Parties, regular reporting to Solactive on the financial instruments issued will be necessary so that the remuneration can be calculated and billed.

The issues shall be reported quarterly by the seventh trading day (according to the trading calendar of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange) of the month following a quarter’s end (“Reporting Deadline”).

The agreed fixed remuneration will be charged annually in advance.

The agreed variable remuneration will be charged per calendar quarter. Remuneration will be due for each calendar month for each Index. This remuneration shall be the product of

the average assets under management of a financial instrument issued on the basis of the respective Index during the month and

the remuneration per annum shown in the applicable Order Schedule in basis points divided by 12.

In the case a security has not been outstanding over an entire month, the remuneration is reduced respectively.

Variable remuneration will be charged to the Licensee as soon as the data has been reported and evaluated.

10.

If the regular Reporting Deadline has expired and the Licensee has not submitted the outstanding report to Solactive by the end of the next reporting deadline following the expired reporting deadline despite having been sent a reminder, Solactive may make a provisional estimate of the remuneration due at its due discretion using suitable criteria (such as data reported for the previous months) and charge this to the Licensee as an advance on the actual amount due. This shall have no effect on the right to terminate without notice.

11.

Solactive shall issue an invoice annually in advance for fixed remunerations due and quarterly in retrospect for variable remunerations due. All invoices shall be due within 30 days of receiving the invoice, at which time Partner may be subject to a default interest of nine percentage points per annum above the respective base interest rate as announced by the Deutsche Bundesbank in the Federal Gazette shall be due calculated as of delivery of the invoice, and Solactive is entitled to claim a lump sum amounting to 40 Euro. This shall have no effect on Solactive’s right to reimbursement of any default loss over and above this.

12.

The Parties agree that there shall be no entitlement to remuneration over and above that set out in the applicable Order Schedule or to reimbursement of expenses or costs.

§ 10 Taxes

The Licensee shall pay any applicable value-added, sales, goods and services or similar taxes that Solactive might be required to charge and remit. The Licensee shall not be responsible for taxes payable by Solactive, if and to the extent that tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by Solactive.

The Licensee shall make all payments to be made by it without deduction of any taxes, unless a tax deduction is required by law. If a tax deduction is required by law to be made by the Licensee, the amount of the payment due from the Licensee shall be increased to an amount which (after making any tax deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no tax deduction had been required.

The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other to determine and minimize their respective tax liabilities. Solactive will cooperate with the Licensee’s reasonable requests for tax-related information and documents.

§ 11 Term of Agreement

This Agreement takes effect when it has been signed by both Parties.

This Agreement is effective for an indefinite term.

§ 12 Termination of Agreement

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable Order Schedule, each license shall be effective on and from the index calculation start date set forth in the applicable Order Schedule and shall continue for an initial period of two (2) years (the “License Initial Term”) and thereafter shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year (each a “License Renewal Term” and together with the License Initial Term, the “License Term”).

A license may be terminated by either Party by providing written notice to the other Party at least one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days prior to the earlier of the end of: (a) the License Initial Term; or (b) a License Renewal Term.

Each party may also terminate this Agreement without notice for good cause. Good cause shall be deemed present, in particular, if the other party to the Agreement is in breach of material contractual obligations and if such party does not put an end to the breach within a reasonable deadline set in writing despite a formal warning. Inter alia there is a breach of material contractual obligations if a third party asserts a right with regard to a trade xxxx which falls under the subject of the Agreement. The Licensee shall report this to Solactive unrequested.

Instead of terminating the entire Agreement for good cause the Parties may also prohibit the calculation of individual Indices by way of partial termination, allowing the rest of the Agreement to continue to apply.

Solactive has a special termination right allowing it to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part without notice if the costs in one calendar quarter to Solactive for necessary use of the data of the stock exchanges in connection with calculation of an Index increase to such an extent that they exceed the remuneration received by Solactive pursuant to § 9 in the same period for this Index.

Any termination declarations associated with this Agreement shall be made in writing.

§ 13 Transfer of Solactive’s Rights and Obligations to a Third Party

At the request of Solactive the Licensee is obliged to consent to this Agreement being transferred to a third party. This obligation shall not apply if there are cogent reasons associated with the identity of the third party which preclude such consent and if such reasons make it unreasonable to expect the Licensee to consent to such third parties assuming this Agreement, even if the interests of Solactive are taken into account.

§ 14 Transfer of Duties to Third Parties

§ 15 Confidentiality

The Parties shall use all matters, facts and information concerning the Parties (hereinafter "Confidential Information") solely for the purposes described in this Agreement and shall treat such Confidential Information confidentially unless they are required to disclose it by statute. This applies in particular to the amount of remuneration due under this Agreement and to the content of this Agreement. The Parties shall impose this confidentiality obligation on any vicarious agents, members of corporate bodies, employees or advisers who are given access to the Confidential Information. In so doing, the Parties shall ensure, to the extent admissible under employment law, that the confidentiality obligation imposed on the employees shall continue to apply in the event that employees leave the services of a party under obligation during the term of this confidentiality obligation. If Confidential Information is disclosed to third parties the other party shall be informed without undue delay.

This confidentiality obligation shall not apply to such information which can be proved to have been

known to the recipient prior to communication,

publicly known at the time of communication,

publicly known after its communication without the recipient being responsible for this,

made available to the recipient by a third party by lawful means after communication and without restriction with respect to confidentiality or use,

developed by the recipient independently prior to communication.

Addendum 2 CUSIP

If Licensee receives CUSIPs or CGS ISINs as part of this Agreement, the following terms apply:

Licensee agrees and acknowledges that the CUSIP Database and the information contained therein is and shall remain valuable intellectual property owned by, or licensed to, CUSIP Global Services (“CGS”) and the American Bankers Association (“ABA”), and that no proprietary rights are being transferred to Licensee in such materials or in any of the information contained therein. Any use by Licensee outside of the clearing and settlement of transactions requires a license from CGS, along with an associated fee based on usage. Licensee agrees that misappropriation or misuse of such materials will cause serious damage to CGS and ABA and that in such event money damages may not constitute sufficient compensation to CGS and ABA; consequently, Licensee agrees that in the event of any misappropriation or misuse, CGS and ABA shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief in addition to any other legal or financial remedies to which CGS and ABA may be entitled.

Licensee agrees that Licensee shall not publish or distribute in any medium the CUSIP Database or any information contained therein or summaries or subsets thereof to any person or entity except in connection with the normal clearing and settlement of security transactions.
