NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement (collectively, the “Parties” and each individually a “Party”) agree as follows:
 
1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for a period of one year (“Initial Term”), unless terminated as provided in Section 16. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year, subject to the termination provisions and all other terms and conditions hereof, so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) a vote of the majority of the trustees of the Trust and (ii) a vote of the majority of the trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as the term is defined in the 1940 Act) and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan, in this Agreement or in any agreement related to the Plan (the “Independent Trustees”) by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval (each such one year period after the Initial Term and the Initial Term are individually referred to as a “Term”).
 
2. Marketing Program.
 
(a) Duties of Archipelago: Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Archipelago shall develop and implement a marketing plan designed to advertise, promote and increase public awareness of the ETF within the financial services industry and investing public (“Marketing Plan”). With respect to non-regulatory advertising issues, Archipelago’s development and implementation of the Marketing Plan shall be performed with the advice of B.C. Ziegler and/or its agent or representative, and Archipelago shall have final authority to resolve all non-regulatory advertising issues. With respect to regulatory compliance issues applicable to advertising by the Trust, the ETF or B.C. Ziegler under the Marketing Plan, Archipelago’s development and implementation of the Marketing Plan shall be performed with the consent of B.C. Ziegler and/or its agent or representative. The Marketing Plan shall include, but not be limited to, branding, promotional activities, development and design of marketing materials, collateral and media campaigns using any format whatsoever agreed to by Archipelago and B.C. Ziegler (i.e., electronic media, print media, Internet, etc.) and hosting a web-site for the ETF (collectively, “Marketing Materials”). The representatives of Archipelago and B.C. Ziegler shall meet periodically to review the overall effectiveness of the existing Marketing Plan, and Archipelago shall develop and implement appropriate changes to the Marketing Plan as a result of such review meetings with the advice or consent, as required in second and third sentences of this Section 2(a), of B.C. Ziegler. Archipelago shall only bear the cost of those services associated with the development and design of the Marketing Materials as specified on the attached Exhibit A. Archipelago shall make expenditures or otherwise create marketing and media value for the ETF in the amount of at least $500,000 during the first year after the date on which the ETF commences trading on NYSE Arca regarding marketing and advertising activities directly related to the promotion of the ETF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Archipelago shall have no obligation to establish or maintain a formal marketing or sales organization to satisfy its obligations with respect to its obligations hereunder. Upon the reasonable request of B.C. Ziegler, Archipelago will provide B.C. Ziegler or its agents or representatives with Marketing Materials and Marketing Plan to the extent outlined in Exhibit A.

(b) Duties of B.C. Ziegler: B.C. Ziegler will, among other things, oversee and arrange for: (i) the preparation of all general shareholder communications, including shareholder reports, with the advice and consent of Archipelago only for purposes of providing branding or marketing content (“Shareholder Communications”); (ii) the compilation of the ETF’s records and financial statements; and (iii) the registration and qualification of the ETF shares, to be sold in creation units, under federal and state law. Subject to the Confidentiality requirements provided in Section 7, the Privacy requirements provided in Section 8 and the other applicable requirements provided in the policies and procedures of the ETF, B.C. Ziegler shall furnish (or cause other service providers to furnish) Archipelago with all Shareholder Communications, financial and performance information relating to the ETF and all other evaluations, information or analyses relating to the ETF as Archipelago may request from time to time or as B.C. Ziegler may deem to be desirable. B.C. Ziegler will be responsible for obtaining all necessary and required regulatory and government approvals, including approvals from the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., for any and all Shareholder Communications and/or Marketing Materials.
 
(c) Duties of the Parties: Each Party shall designate one individual that shall have primary responsibility for maintaining communications between the Parties which relate to the development and implementation of the Marketing Plan and for resolution of any issues that may arise relating to marketing or advertising for the ETF. In the event of a dispute arising in connection with this Agreement, each Party agrees that their respective representatives will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.
 
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents to the other that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and has all requisite power and authority to operate and carry on its business as it is now being conducted; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action and constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (c) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with or result in a violation, breach or termination of or default under (or would result in a violation, breach, termination or default with the giving of notice or passage of time or both) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of its organizational documents or any agreement, instrument or obligation to which it is a party or by which an of its properties or assets may be bound or affected, or (ii) result in the violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to its, or its properties or assets.
 
4. Marketing Fee. Subject to the limitations below, for providing the Marketing Plan, the Marketing Materials and related services described in this Agreement, Archipelago shall be entitled to receive from B.C. Ziegler a marketing fee (“Marketing Fee”). The Marketing Fee shall be calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.08% of the ETF’s average daily net assets. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of B.C. Ziegler, shall pay the Marketing Fee for each calendar month directly to Archipelago no later than the 15th day after the last day of such calendar month, provided, however, that, until Archipelago Securities, L.L.C. becomes a party to this Agreement, all amounts payable hereunder as Marketing Fees shall be escrowed by the Trust with the ETF’s custodian, and, upon Archipelago Securities, L.L.C. becoming a party to this Agreement, all such escrowed amounts shall be paid promptly to Archipelago Securities, L.L.C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Archipelago hereby waives and forever relinquishes its right to receive payment of any Marketing Fee until the sooner to occur of: (a) the ETF’s assets reaching $60 million; or (b) 365 days after the date on which the ETF commences trading on NYSE Arca (“Waiver Period”). As additional consideration for Archipelago’s execution hereof and performance hereunder, the Trust and B.C. Ziegler agree that if any new series of the Trust is established in addition to the ETF and the shares to be issued by such new series are suitable for listing and trading on an exchange, such shares shall be recommended by B. C. Zeigler to the Trust for listing on either the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Arca, and the Trust and B.C. Ziegler will use their best efforts to cause such listing to occur (the “Listing Requirement”).

5. Trademarks. Except as specified in this Agreement, neither Party will publish or use any advertising, sales promotions, press releases or other publicity which use the other Party’s name, logo, trademarks or service marks without the prior written approval of such Party. All Shareholder Communications created by and distributed by B.C. Ziegler (or any of its agents or representatives) shall display the Index mark and logo in accordance with the License Agreement and as directed by Archipelago. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Archipelago shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Index mark.
 
6. Indemnification.
 
(a) Indemnification of B.C. Ziegler. Archipelago agrees to indemnify and hold harmless B.C. Ziegler and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls B.C. Ziegler against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which B.C. Ziegler may become subject, insofar as such third party losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expense (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to B.C. Ziegler by Archipelago expressly for use in the Marketing Materials and the ETF’s registration statement to the extent that Archipelago or its affiliates are the original source of the information, or (ii) result from a breach of a material provision of this Agreement by Archipelago. Archipelago will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by B.C. Ziegler or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Archipelago will not be liable for indemnification hereunder to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of B.C. Ziegler, its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or any controlling person in performing their obligations under this Agreement.
 
(b) Indemnification of Archipelago. B.C. Ziegler agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Archipelago and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls Archipelago against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Archipelago may become subject, insofar as such third party losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the ETF’s registration statement or sales literature of the ETF prepared or approved in writing by B.C. Ziegler or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) result from a breach of a material provision of this Agreement by B.C. Ziegler. B.C. Ziegler will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Archipelago or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that B.C.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of an action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise under this Section. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish to, assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(a) Information. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its officers, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) may have access to certain confidential and proprietary information of the other Party and its subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Information”). The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that they will, and will cause all of their Representatives to, take all commercially reasonable precautions necessary to safeguard the confidentiality of the Information, including: (i) those precautions required under this Section; (ii) those taken by the Party and its Representative to protect their respective confidential information; and (iii) those precautions which the other Party may reasonably request from time to time.

Each Party shall not, and shall cause their Representatives not to: (i) use any Information in a manner that would violate any federal or state securities laws, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (ii) deface any confidentiality or proprietary notice that the Party may have affixed to items of Information disclosed to the other Party.

(c) Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Each Party acknowledges that any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Information by the other Party or any Representative will cause irreparable damage to the Party. If an unauthorized use or disclosure occurs as a result of the negligence or misconduct of a Party or any of their Representatives, the Party will take, at its expense, all steps which are necessary to recover the Information and to prevent its subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination, including availing itself or actions for seizure and injunctive relief. If the Party fails to take these steps in a timely and adequate manner, the harmed Party may take them at the violating Party’s expense. The Parties agree that the covenants contained in this Section are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve each Party’s interests and that, in addition to all of the remedies provided at law or in equity, each Party shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to prevent a breach of any such covenants. If the harmed Party should seek injunctive relief hereunder, the violating Party hereby waives any requirement that the harmed Party provide proof of the economic value of any Information or post a bond or any other form of security.
 
(d) Observation of Board of Trustee Meetings. Archipelago, through its designated representative, shall have the right to observe the meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Trust during the term of this Agreement and for such longer period as Archipelago Holdings or any of its affiliates is the Index licensor under the Licensing Agreement.

The Parties agree to implement and maintain appropriate reasonable measures that comply with federal and state regulations designed to safeguard nonpublic personal information of shareholders of the ETF and otherwise to ensure their security and the confidentiality of that information.
