FIRST AMENDMENT

 

TO THE FUND ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT

 

This FIRST AMENDMENT (‘‘First Amendment”) is entered into as of the date of the last signature below (the “First Amendment Effective Date”), between DBX ETF Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, (on behalf of each “Fund” listed on Exhibit A to the Agreement), and the Bank of New York Mellon, a bank organized under the laws of the state of New York (the “BNYM”).

 

WHEREAS, the Fund and BNYM are parties to that certain Custody Agreement, dated January 31, 2011 (the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Fund and BNYM desire to amend the Agreement, with effect from the First Amendment Effective Date.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made here in, and the exchange of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Fund and BNYM agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

 

1.Amendments. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

 

1.1The following language is hereby inserted as new Section 22 of the Agreement:

 

“22. BNYM shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in compliance with the policies listed in Exhibit C to the Agreement as such policies may, subject to this Section 22, change from time to lime (“BNY Mellon Policies”). BNYM and the Fund will participate in a conference call or meeting held at least on a quarterly basis (or on a more frequent basis if reasonably required by either party) to discuss, among other matters, any changes to the BNY Mellon Policies or substance testing or background standards, and will permit the Fund to conduct, at BNYM’s offices and subject to BNYMs reasonable security requirements, a review of such changed policies and/or standards. In the event that the Fund reasonably determines that such change in the BNY Mellon Policies (i) represents a significant negative deviation from market standard and the Fund provides reasonable evidence thereof, or (ii) is reasonably likely to cause the Fund to be in violation of law or the requirements of governmental authorities, then the Fund and BNYM will work together in good faith to remediate. If the Fund is not reasonably satisfied that such remediation has occurred ninety (90) days after the applicable remediation meeting, then the Fund shall have the ability to terminate the Agreement without cause by giving BNYM at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. In the event of a change in the substance testing or background standards that re moves or lessens any substance testing or background screening requirements , the parties shall promptly meet and agree on a solution.”

 

 
 

EXECUTION

 

 

1.2The following language is hereby inserted as new Section 23 of the Agreement:

 

“23. The Fund and BNYM shall comply with their respective obligations under Exhibit D to the Agreement.”

 

1.3The following language is hereby inserted as a new Section 24 of the Agreement:

 

“24. Subcontracting

 

(a)Subject to the remainder of this Section 24, BNYM may subcontract the provision of the services. BNYM shall obtain the written agreement of its subcontractors to protect the confidentiality of any of the Fund’s confidential information in a manner substantially equivalent to that required of BNYM under this Agreement. No subcontractor may be permitted to further subcontract the provision of the services without prior written consent of BNYM.

 

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following activities shall not constitute subcontracting nor shall any third party performing such activities be deemed to be a subcontractor: (i) BNYM’s or its affiliates’ or subsidiaries’ use of third party vendors that provide data, information, and its other underlying technological infrastructure only required to facilitate the support of its provision of the services; or (ii) BNYM’s or its affiliates’ or subsidiaries’ use of individual independent contractors (for staff augmentation purposes) to perform functions under the supervision of employees of BNYM or its affiliates or subsidiaries so long as BNYM remains fully responsible for the work performed by such individuals as if performed by BNYM.

 

(c)BNYM shall remain responsible for all activities of subcontractors, including for all acts and omissions of such subcontractors, to the same extent as if such activities were performed by BNYM, and for purposes of this Agreement such activities shall be deemed work performed by BNYM. BNYM shall be the Fund’s sole point of contact regarding the subcontractors. For avoidance of doubt, where the Fund has a relationship with the party acting as a subcontractor under this Agreement independent of the services, BNYM is not responsible for such party’s acts or omissions under such independent relationship.
2
 

  

EXECUTION

 

(d)Where BNYM or any of its subcontractors wishes to subcontract (or further subcontract, as the case may be) the provision of the services under this Agreement, BNYM shall provide the Fund with at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of that proposal together with the following details: (i) the name and address of the proposed subcontractor; (ii) the subject matter of the proposed subcontract ; (iii) with respect to any subcontractor that is not an affiliate or subsidiary of BNYM, the results of BNYM’s due diligence on such proposed subcontractor and whether such subcontractor personnel will be screened in the same manner as BNYM’s personnel; and (iv) any additional information reasonably required by the Fund.

 

(e)If the Fund objects to BNYM’s or its subcontractors’ use of a subcontractor (that is not a BNYM affiliate or subsidiary), the Fund shall provide written notice thereof to BNYM, together with sufficient details as to the reasons for such objection. Upon receipt of such notice, BNYM shall work with the Fund in good faith to resolve the issue. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve the issue and the Fund reasonably believes that BNYM’s (or its subcontractors’) use of such subcontractor poses an unreasonable risk to BNYM’s performance of the services, then the Fund may terminate the Agreement without cause by giving BNYM at least thirty (30) days prior written notice.

 

(f)With respect to any subcontractor that is not a BNYM affiliate or subsidiary, prior to using such a subcontractor: (i) BNYM and the Fund shall agree in good faith as to which of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or other terms BNYM must impose on such subcontractor (based on the facts and circumstances of the services that such subcontractor will be performing); and (ii) following such discussion BNYM shall impose such agreed-upon relevant terms on such subcontractor. BNYM will take appropriate measures to monitor its subcontractors’ duties and, in its sole discretion reasonably exercised, enforce such duties against its subcontractors.

 

(g)Notwithstanding the other provisions herein, the Fund shall have the right to notify BNYM where, because of documented bona fide performance issues in respect of a subcontractor, the Fund reasonably believes that the continued use of such subcontractor poses an unreasonable risk to BNYMs performance of the services. Upon receipt of such notice, BNYM shall work with the Fund in good faith to resolve the issue.

Reference

BNYM Exception
VG-0601-01 BNYM policy and standard controls are based upon industry best practice. Personal computing devices can be utilized (for example; Laptops, iPads, mobile devices, BYOD solutions) providing authorized and with a business justification. Security is provided in accordance with BNYM Policy and Standards including, but not limited to, secure container solutions (e.g. GOOD); Citrix remote access; Internet based secure solutions (e.g. NETx360, WB, Connect).
VE-0701-01

BNYM confirms locations of relevant system locations and provides control

verification within, relevant SOCI and CMITs SSAEl6 documents. Accordingly BNYM consider themselves compliant to the spirit of this control. However, BNYM has slated Partial’ compliance to draw attention to the Fund that the locations of BNYM application infrastructure is defined by BNYM and not by agreement with BNYM clients.

VG-I001-01 BNYM has logical access control separation in place and segregation is inherent to our system design. BNYM has implemented an access methodology which is based on “need to know” and least privilege which is approved by management. BNYM clients using the same application are logically separated. BNYM program is enterprise wide and not client specific and therefore, not open to individual client agreement.

VG-1008-03

 

‘Partialcompliance has been stated as in formation will not be transferred by fax unless otherwise contemplated in any contractual arrangements between BNYM and the Fund.
VE-1105-02 BNYM does display last log in date and time, however BNYM does not display ‘Contact your administrator if incorrect’. As a mitigating control BNYM has regular security and risk management education training and awareness which minds all employees to act upon their, suspicions and report anomalies. This is further supported within formal business Incident Reporting procedures.

BNYM has policy and standard controls stated in regard to production data

in non-production environments. As per production, BNYM implements logical access controls in test systems based on need to know and least privilege. Please note that Pershing UK and US do comply with this control as they obfuscate data in non-production environments. In regard to providing copies of data to third parties, BNYM will comply with the relevant non-disclosure and other related contractual requirements agreed by BNYM and the Fund. BNYM program is enterprise wide and not client specific and therefore, not open to individual client agreement.

VE-1206-01

 

BNYM has policy and standard controls stated in regard to vulnerability scanning. The CMITS SSAEl6 provides annua1 control testing and BNYM ISO27001:2013 ISMS certification covers vulnerability and patch management. Partial compliance is stated as BNYM program is enterprise wide and not client specific and therefore we do not permit clients to request on-demand vulnerability scans
