WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest in separate series with each such series representing interests in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets; and

WHEREAS, the Trust intends to offer shares representing interests in each of the separate series listed on Schedule A attached hereto (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds,” it being understood that the term “Fund” does not refer to any other series of the Trust other than the series listed on Schedule A attached hereto, which may be amended from time to time); and

WHEREAS, the Trust desires to appoint the Adviser to serve as the investment adviser with respect to each of the Funds and to provide certain additional services and bear certain expenses associated with the operation of the Funds; and

1

2. Duties of the Adviser

(a) The Trust acknowledges and agrees that it is contemplated that the Adviser will manage the investment operations and composition of each Fund of the Trust and render investment advice for each Fund. The Adviser may, at its own expense, select and contract with one or more investment sub-advisers to manage the investment operations and composition of each Fund of the Trust and render investment advice for each Fund. The services provided by the Adviser or any such sub-adviser shall include: (i) furnishing continuously an investment program for each Fund; (ii) managing the investment and reinvestment of Fund assets; (iii) determining which investments shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged for each Fund and what portion, if any, of the assets of each Fund shall be held uninvested; (iv) making changes on behalf of the Trust in the investments for each Fund; (v) providing the Trust with records concerning the activities that the Trust is required to maintain; (vi) provide recommendations to the Trust’s Board of Trustees with respect to the selection of third-party service providers (“Service Providers”), and, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, thereafter: (A) negotiate, coordinate and implement the Trust’s contractual obligations with respect to the Funds with such Service Providers; (B) monitor, oversee and review the performance of such Service Providers to ensure adherence to applicable contractual obligations; and (C) prepare or coordinate reports and presentations to the Board of Trustees with respect to such Service Providers as requested or as deemed appropriate; (vii) make available employees of the Advisor to serve as officers and Trustees of the Trust, and pay the salaries and expenses of all such officers and Trustees (except the Chief Compliance Officer and his or her staff); and (viii) rendering reports to the Trust’s officers and Board of Trustees concerning the Adviser’s discharge of the foregoing responsibilities. Service Providers include, but are not limited to, entities providing custody, administrative and fund accounting services. The Adviser shall furnish to the Trust all office facilities, equipment, services and executive and administrative personnel necessary for managing the investment program of the Trust for each Fund. The Adviser may enter into arrangements with other persons affiliated or unaffiliated with the Adviser for the provision of certain personnel and facilities to the Adviser to enable the Adviser to fulfill its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities subject to the supervision and control of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and in compliance with such policies as the Trustees may from time to time establish, each Fund’s investment objective and policies as set forth in the then current prospectus and statement of additional information for such Fund contained in the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as amended or supplemented from time to time, the Trust’s compliance manual, as in effect from time to time, and applicable laws and regulations.

3. Certain Records and Reports

Any records required to be maintained and preserved pursuant to the provisions of Rule 31a-1 and Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act that are prepared or maintained by the Adviser (or any investment sub-adviser) on behalf of the Trust are the property of the Trust and will be surrendered promptly to the Trust at its request (the “Records”). The Adviser agrees to preserve the Records for the

2

periods prescribed in Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act. The Trust and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other, if applicable, current prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, certified copies of their financial statements, and such other information with regard to their affairs as each may reasonably request. The Adviser shall keep confidential any information obtained in connection with its duties hereunder and disclose such information only if the Trust has authorized such disclosure or if such disclosure is expressly required or lawfully requested by applicable federal or state regulatory authorities.

4. Fees/Allocation of Expenses

(a) For the services to be provided by the Adviser hereunder with respect to each Fund, the Trust shall pay to the Adviser a fee at the rate set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. Schedule A shall be amended from time to time to reflect the addition and/or termination of any Fund as a Fund hereunder and to reflect any change in the fees payable with respect to any Fund duly approved in accordance with Section 10(b) hereunder. All fees payable hereunder shall be accrued daily and paid as soon as practical after the last day of each month.

In any case of commencement or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Fund during any calendar month, the fee with respect to such Fund for that month shall be reduced proportionately based upon the number of calendar days during which it is in effect, and the fee shall be computed upon the average daily net assets of such Fund for the days during which it is in effect.

(b) The Adviser agrees to pay all expenses of each of the Funds, except for: (i) brokerage and other transaction expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the patriation or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or redemption transactions); (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of the Trustees of the Trust who are not officers, directors/trustees, partners or employees of the Adviser or its affiliates (the “Independent Trustees”); (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees, (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust’s chief compliance officer and his or her staff; (vi) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees); (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (viii) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ix) fees and expense related to the provision of securities lending services; and (x) the fee payable to the Adviser hereunder. The internal expenses of pooled investment vehicles in which a Fund may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses) are not expenses of the Funds and are not paid by the Adviser; except that the Adviser shall pay internal expenses of any wholly owned subsidiary of a Fund, except for the expenses of the type described in (i) to (x) of Section 4(b)

3

herein, for so long as Adviser serves as investment adviser to such subsidiary. The payment or assumption by the Adviser of any expense of the Funds that the Adviser is not required by this Agreement to pay or assume shall not obligate the Adviser to pay or assume the same or any similar expense of the Trust on any subsequent occasion.

5. Limitation of Liability Under the Declaration of Trust

The Declaration of Trust establishing the Trust provides that no Trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be subject to any personal liability in connection with Trust property or the affairs of the Trust and that all persons should shall look solely to the Trust property or to the property of one or more specific Funds for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust.

6. Regulation

The Adviser shall submit to all regulatory and administrative bodies having jurisdiction over the services provided pursuant to this Agreement any information, reports or other material which any such body by reason of this Agreement may request or require pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

7. Provision of Certain Information by the Adviser

The Adviser will promptly notify the Trust in writing of the occurrence of any of the following events:

(b) the Adviser is served or otherwise receives notice of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, involving the affairs of the Trust; and

(c) the chief executive officer of the Adviser or the portfolio manager of any Fund changes.

8. Limitation of Liability of the Adviser

Neither the Adviser nor its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliated persons or controlling persons or assigns shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust or its shareholders in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates including, without limitation, losses that may be sustained in connection with the purchase, holding, redemption or sale of any security or other investment by the Trust; provided that no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to protect the Adviser against any liability to the Trust or its shareholders resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder, or the reckless disregard of its duties or obligations hereunder.

4

9. Force Majeure

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Adviser shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Trust or its shareholders caused directly or indirectly by circumstances beyond the Adviser’s reasonable control including, without limitation, government restrictions, exchange or market rulings, suspensions of trading, acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fires, earthquakes, floods or other catastrophes, acts of God, wars, riots or failures of communication or power supply.

If the shareholders of any Fund fail to approve the Agreement or any continuance of the Agreement as provided herein, the Adviser may continue to serve hereunder in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder. The foregoing requirement that continuance of this Agreement be “specifically approved at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

5

This Agreement may be terminated with respect to one or more Funds without affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any of the other Funds.

11. Services Not Exclusive

The services of the Adviser to the Trust hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar services to others (including other investment companies and to engage in other activities) so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby.

12. Use of the Name

The Adviser has consented to the use by the Trust of (a) the name “ProShares” and any derivatives thereof in the name of the Trust and each Fund, and (b) any logos that are now or shall hereafter be associated with the ProShares name. Such consent is conditioned upon the employment of the Adviser or an affiliate as the investment adviser to the Fund. The name “ProShares” and any logos that are associated with the ProShares name may be used from time to time in other connections and for other purposes by the Adviser and any of its affiliates. The Adviser may require the Trust and the Funds to cease using “ProShares” in the name of the Trust and the Funds and any logos that are associated with the ProShares name if the Funds cease to employ, for any reason, the Adviser, any successor thereto or any affiliate thereof as investment adviser of a Fund.

13. Custody

Nothing in this Agreement will require the Adviser to take or receive physical possession of cash, securities or other investments of any Fund.

14. Miscellaneous

(a) Notice. All notices required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered or mailed (i) to the last known business address of the Trust or the Adviser in person, or (ii) by registered mail or a private mail or delivery service providing the sender with notice of receipt, or (iii) by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission. Notice shall be deemed given on the date delivered or mailed in accordance with this section.

6

(b) Severability. Should any portion of this Agreement for any reason be held to be void in law or in equity, the Agreement shall be construed, insofar as is possible, as if such portion had never been contained herein.

(c) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland (without giving effect to its conflict of law principles) and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. To the extent that the applicable laws of the State of Maryland, or any of the provisions herein, conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control.

(d) Execution By Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement.

(e) Survival After Termination. The rights and obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Permissible Interests. Trustees, officers, agents and shareholders of the Trust are or may be interested in the Adviser (or any successor thereof) as directors, partners, officers, agents, shareholders or otherwise; directors, partners, officers, agents and shareholders of the Adviser are or may be interested in the Trust as Trustees, officers, agents, shareholders or otherwise; and the Adviser (or any successor thereof) is or may be interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties.

(g) Liability of the Trust and Funds. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as provided in the Declaration of Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized by the Trustees, and it has been signed by an officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the property of the Trust as provided in its Declaration of Trust. With respect to any obligation of the Trust on behalf of any Fund arising hereunder, the Adviser shall look for payment or satisfaction of such obligations solely to the assets and property of the Fund to which such obligation relates as though the Trust had separately contracted with the Adviser by separate written instrument with respect to each Fund.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be executed as of the 12^th day of February, 2016.
