§ 1 Index Calculation

1.	Subject to the provisions of this agreement Solactive will continually calculate the Indices set out in Addendum 1 and will continually maintain and disseminate them.

2.	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 § 8 applies.

3.	Details including but not limited to calculation and maintenance of the Indices shall be stipulated in the respective Index guidelines agreed upon between the Parties. For this purpose the Partner shall provide the necessary Index specification pursuant to Addendum 2.

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 guidelines. Setting up the Indices includes establishing the name, parameters, exchange rates, calculation days, calculation term etc., in connection with the Indices.

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

6.	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.

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

§ 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 of the Licensee which have been disseminated via price marketing activities are used by the contractual partners to the Market Price Dissemination Agreements 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 endeavour to prohibit it as soon as possible.

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

4.	Solactive may require Vendors and Re-vendors to display "Source: Solactive AG" as the general source.

§ 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.

2.	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.

3.	At the request of Solactive the Licensee shall provide evidence that the afore-mentioned obligations have been fulfilled.

4.	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 Utilisation Right

1.	Solactive will maintain the Indices in accordance with the Index guidelines.

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

§ 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.

3.	If Solactive notices that it has made an error in calculating the Index it shall notify the Licensee without undue delay through the usual information channels and, as far as necessary, shall notify the Licensee without undue delay of any necessary corrections.

§ 6 Issuer's Statement

The Licensee 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 mark 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 mark 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.”

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

§ 7 Trade Mark Rights

1.	The Partner warrants that it is the owner of the trade marks specified in Addendum 3 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.

2.	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 Addendum 3 subject to the provisions of this agreement and to extend necessary to fulfil its obligations under this agreement.

3.	Solactive agrees only to use the trade marks listed in Addendum 3 in their registered form.

As far as technically possible, Solactive shall post a licence statement of the trade marks listed in Addendum 3 at the beginning of any written or electronic use. Unless specific circumstances make a different procedure more appropriate the licence statement shall take the form of the ® symbol and a footnote explaining that the trade mark is a registered trade mark of the Partner or a third party . If a particular Index consists of trade marks 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 mark 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 Addendum 3 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.

§ 8 Warranty

Solactive shall fulfil its contractual obligations, in particular calculation of the Indices with the care of a prudent businessman and dissemination of such indexes. 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 § 9.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability

Solactive has unlimited liability for losses incurred by the Licensee caused by intent. Solactive’ liability for losses of the Licensee caused by gross negligence shall be limited to 20 % 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 50 % 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.

The Licensee's claims for compensation shall fall under the statute of limitations after one year 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.

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.

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.

§ 10 Remuneration

1.	The Licensee shall pay remuneration in return for calculation, maintenance and dissemination of the Indices in accordance with the remuneration schedule set out in Addendum 4 plus value-added tax at the applicable statutory rate.

Solactive shall issue an invoice semi-annually in advance for fixed remunerations due and quarterly in retrospect for variable remunerations due. All invoices shall be due immediately. If the Licensee has not rendered payment within 30 days of receiving the invoice, default interest of eight percentage points per annum above the respective base interest rate shall be due calculated as of delivery of the invoice. This shall have no effect on Solactive’ right to reimbursement of any default loss over and above this.

3.	The Parties agree that there shall be no entitlement to remuneration over and above that set out in Addendum 4 or to reimbursement of expenses or costs.

§ 11 Term of agreement

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

2.	This agreement is concluded for an indefinite term.

§ 12 Termination of agreement

1.	This agreement may be terminated by either Party with a notice period of one year to the end of the calendar quarter, however no less than two years after conclusion of this agreement.

The Parties are also entitled to terminate parts of the agreement with a notice period of one year to the end of the calendar quarter thereby terminating calculation of individual Indices specified in Addendum 1. In the event of partial termination of this type the remuneration due shall be reduced in accordance with Addendum 4 to this agreement.

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 mark which falls under the subject of the agreement. The Licensee shall report this to Solactive unrequested.

4.	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 § 10 in the same period for this Index.

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

§ 13 Transfer of Solactive’ 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

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

§ 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.

2.	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.

3.	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.
