INDEX LICENSE AGREEMENT

1 PREAMBLE

Solactive is an independent German multi-asset class index service provider, operating worldwide and active in the business of administration, development, calculation and maintenance of indices.

As part of its business, Solactive licenses "Solactive"-branded indices and develops and maintains the related guidelines which provide further information on the methodology of the index, in particular on its calculation, adjustment, and weighting.

Solactive is registered as a Benchmark Administrator under the European Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) with the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).

The Licensee desires to use certain "Solactive"-branded indices for its own business purposes, in particular as a benchmark in order to sell and market financial products linked to the indices. Solactive agrees to grant the Licensee a license (as described herein) for the use of the indices as set forth in this Agreement. In that context, it is explicitly agreed between the Parties that Solactive as counterparty to the License Agreement has no influence on the volume of financial products possibly issued in relation to the Index or Indices licensed hereunder. It is therefore the joint understanding of the Parties that the obligations of Solactive shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, and that this fact is reflected in the agreed remuneration.

THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
