8.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section 14, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any direct losses, damages, liabilities, claims, costs or out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (“Losses”) or expense suffered by the Trust insofar as such Loss arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reliance upon records that were maintained for the Trust by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as administrator for the Trust. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any Loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless solely caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator, its officers or employees. Neither the Trust, the Trustee nor the Administrator shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary or enhanced damages of any kind or nature whatsoever (including loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity, anticipated savings or attorneys’ fees) arising under any provision of this Agreement or for any such damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either

party or any entity had been advised of, or otherwise might or should have anticipated, the possibility or likelihood of such damages. In any event, the Administrator’s cumulative liability for each calendar year (a “Liability Period”) with respect to the Trust under this Agreement regardless of the form of action or legal theory shall be limited to its total annual compensation earned and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as defined herein, for any liability or Loss suffered by the Trust including, but not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Trust as a regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Trust’s compliance with any federal or state tax or securities statute, regulation or ruling during such Liability Period. “Compensation Period” shall mean the calendar year ending immediately prior to each Liability Period in which the event(s) giving rise to the Administrator’s liability for that period have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Period for purposes of calculating the annual cumulative liability of the Administrator for the Liability Period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on December 31, 2017 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2017, calculated on an annualized basis, and the Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2018 and terminating on December 31, 2018 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2017, calculated on an annualized basis.

The Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, natural disaster, governmental action or communication disruption.

The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 8 shall apply regardless of the form or type of action in which a claim is brought or under which it is made, whether in contract, tort (including negligence of any kind), warranty, strict liability, indemnity or any other legal or equitable grounds, and shall survive failure of an exclusive remedy. The foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to any damages or claims arising out of or relating to the intentional breach, fraud or willful misconduct of any party hereto or where such limitation is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator and the Trustee acknowledge and agree that the following categories of damages are deemed direct Losses for purposes of this Agreement, to the extent resulting from a breach by the Administrator of its duties hereunder: (i) regulatory fines (excluding any fines related to a failure by the Trustee to oversee or supervise); (ii) damages awarded to a third party by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final judgment (not subject to further appeal); (iii) settlements (subject to the consent of the Administrator, not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld); (iv) the cost of notice mailings and credit reports relating to data breaches; and (v) remediation of lost data.

Subject to any exculpatory provisions or liability limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Trustee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator from and against any Losses incurred or sustained by the Administrator in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the Administrator’s (or its agents’) intentional breach, fraud or willful misconduct in the discharge of its duties under this

Agreement. If the Trustee instructs the Administrator to take any action with respect to securities or other financial assets, and the action involves the payment of money or may, in the good faith opinion of the Administrator, result in the Administrator or its nominee assigned to the Trustee being liable therefor, the Trustee, as a prerequisite to the Administrator taking the action, shall provide to the Administrator at the Administrator’s reasonable request such further indemnification in an amount to be mutually agreed upon between the Trustee and Administrator if and when necessary.

Subject to any exculpatory provisions or liability limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against any Losses incurred or sustained by the Trustee as a result of a claim brought by a third party (a “Claim”), in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the Administrator’s (or its agents’) intentional breach, fraud or willful misconduct in the discharge of its duties under this Agreement.

The limitation of liability and indemnification contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Each of the Trustee and the Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses in respect of which it claims or may be entitled to claim indemnification under this Agreement.

9.    CONFIDENTIALITY

All information provided under this Agreement by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) regarding the Disclosing Party’s business and operations shall be treated as confidential. Subject to Section 10 below, all confidential information provided under this Agreement by Disclosing Party shall be used, including disclosure to third parties, by the Receiving Party, or its agents or service providers, solely for the purpose of performing or receiving the services and discharging the Receiving Party’s other obligations under the Agreement or managing the business of the Receiving Party and its Affiliates (as defined in Section 10 below), including financial and operational management and reporting, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance and client service management. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information (a) that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement, (b) that is independently derived by the Receiving Party without the use of any information provided by the Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement, (c) that is disclosed to comply with any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, (d) that is disclosed as required by operation of law or regulation or as required to comply with the requirements of any market infrastructure that the Disclosing Party or its agents direct the Administrator or its Affiliates to employ (or which is required in connection with the holding or settlement of instruments included in the assets subject to this Agreement), or (e) where the party seeking to disclose has received the prior written consent of the party providing the information, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Trustee agrees that Administrator and/or its Affiliates may seek to profit and realize economic benefit from the commercialization and use of the Data, that such benefit will constitute part of the Administrator’s compensation for services under this Agreement or such other agreement, and the Administrator and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled to retain and not be required to disclose the amount of such economic benefit and profit to the Trust.

(c)    Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Section 10 shall limit the confidentiality and data-protection obligations of the Administrator and its Affiliates under this Agreement and applicable law. The Administrator shall cause any Affiliate, agent or service provider to which it has disclosed Data pursuant to this Section 10 to comply at all times with confidentiality and data-protection obligations as if it were a party to this Agreement.

earlier surrendered as provided above. Records may be surrendered in either written or machine-readable form, at the option of the Administrator. In the event that the Administrator is requested or authorized by the Trustee, or required by subpoena, administrative order, court order or other legal process, applicable law or regulation, or required in connection with any investigation, examination or inspection of the Trustee or the Trust by state or federal regulatory agencies, to produce the records of the Trustee or the Trust or the Administrator’s personnel as witnesses or deponents, the Trustee agrees to pay the Administrator for the Administrator’s time and expenses, as well as the fees and expenses of the Administrator’s counsel incurred in such production.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term ending November 30, 2027 (the “Initial Term”).

Upon receipt of such payment and reimbursement, the Administrator will deliver the Trust’s records as set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment will be required pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph in the event of any transaction such (a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Trust and distribution of the Trust’s assets as a result of the Trustee’s determination in its reasonable business judgment that the Trust is no longer viable, (b) a merger of the Trust into, or the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator and the Trustee may mutually agree to terminate the Transition Assistance with respect to some or all of the services before the expiry of the agreed period. “Transition Assistance” shall include the continued provision of the services, assistance with the development and implementation of a conversion plan, the provision of information in relation to the relevant services (excluding confidential information) and/or any other assistance reasonably requested by the Trustee.
