WHEREAS, an Acquiring Fund may, from time to time, invest in shares of one or more Acquired Funds in excess of the limitations of Section 12(d)(1)(A) in reliance on the Rule;

[WHEREAS, the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Funds have entered into a Participation Agreement dated [date], which is hereby terminated and superseded by this agreement;]

NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the Rule, the Acquiring Fund[s] and the Acquired Fund[s] desire to set forth the following terms pursuant to which the Acquiring Fund[s] may invest in the Acquired Fund[s] in reliance on the Rule.


1.Terms of Investment

a.In order to help reasonably address the risk of undue influence on an Acquired Fund by an Acquiring Fund, and to assist the Acquired Fund’s investment adviser with making the required findings under the Rule, each Acquiring Fund and each Acquired Fund agrees as follows:

i.The Acquiring Fund acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent consistent with the Acquired Fund’s registration statement, as amended from time to time, the Acquired Fund may honor any redemption request partially or wholly in-kind.

ii.Upon a reasonable request by an Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund will provide summary information regarding the anticipated timeline of its investment in the Acquired Fund and the scale of its contemplated investments in the Acquired Fund.

b. In order to assist the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser with evaluating the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with an investment in an Acquired Fund, each Acquired Fund shall provide each Acquiring Fund with information on the fees and expenses of the Acquired Fund reasonably requested by the Acquiring Fund with reference to the Rule.

2.Representations of the Acquiring Funds.

a.In connection with any investment by an Acquiring Fund in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations in Section 12(d)(1)(A), the Acquiring Fund agrees to: (i) comply with all conditions of the Rule, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, applicable to the Acquiring Fund; (ii) comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) promptly notify the Acquired Fund if such Acquiring Fund fails to comply with the Rule with respect to an


investment in such Acquired Fund, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, or this Agreement.

b.Any investment adviser within the meaning of Section 2(a)(20)(A) or (B) of the 1940 Act to an Acquiring Fund will be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”).

c.The members of an Acquiring Fund’s Advisory Group (as such term is defined in the Rule) will not control (individually or in the aggregate) an Acquired Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. The members of an Acquiring Fund’s Sub- Advisory Group (as such term is defined in the Rule), if any, will not control (individually or in the aggregate) an Acquired Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act.

If, as a result of a decrease in the outstanding voting securities of an Acquired Fund, an Acquiring Fund’s Advisory Group or an Acquiring Fund’s Sub-Advisory Group, each in the aggregate, becomes a holder of more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of an Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund will vote its shares of the Acquired Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of the Acquired Fund’s shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply to an Acquiring Fund Sub-Advisory Group with respect to an Acquired Fund for which the Acquiring Fund Sub-Adviser or a person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Acquiring Fund Sub-Adviser acts as the investment adviser within the meaning of Section 2(a)(20)(A) of the 1940 Act.

d. Each Acquiring Fund acknowledges and understands that an Acquired Fund reserves the right to reject any direct purchase of Creation Units by an Acquiring Fund.

3.Representations of the Acquired Funds.

a.In connection with any investment by an Acquiring Fund in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations in Section 12(d)(1)(A), the Acquired Fund agrees to: (i) comply with all conditions of the Rule, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, applicable to the Acquired Fund; (ii) comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) promptly notify the Acquiring Fund if such Acquired Fund fails to comply with the Rule with respect to an investment by the Acquiring Fund, as interpreted or modified by the SEC or its Staff from time to time, or this Agreement.

4.Indemnification.

The Acquiring Funds, severally and not jointly, agree to hold harmless, indemnify and defend the Acquired Funds and Global X Funds, including any of their principals, trustees, officers, employees and agents (“Global X Agents”), against and from any and all losses, costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by or claims or actions (“Claims”) asserted against the Acquired Funds and/or Global X Funds, including any Global X Agents, to the extent such Claims result from: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in an Acquiring Fund’s summary prospectus, prospectus, statement of additional information or sales literature or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (other than information received from Global X Funds or Global X Agents) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) a material breach by such Acquiring Fund of any provision of this Agreement. The indemnification provided for in this paragraph shall include any reasonable counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating and/or defending such Claims.

The Acquired Funds, severally and not jointly, agree to hold harmless, indemnify and defend an Acquiring Fund, including any of its principals, directors or trustees, officers, employees and agents (“Acquiring Fund Agents”), against and from any Claims asserted against the Acquiring Fund, including any Acquiring Fund Agents, to the extent such Claims result from a material breach by the Acquired Fund of any provision of this Agreement. The indemnification provided for in this paragraph shall include any reasonable counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating and/or defending such Claims, provided that no Acquired Fund shall be liable for indemnifying any Acquiring Fund or Acquiring Fund Agent for any Claims resulting from violations that occur as a result of incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the Acquiring Fund to such Acquired Fund pursuant to the terms of this


Agreement, or resulting from violations caused by the Acquiring Fund, the Acquiring Fund’s Agent or any Acquiring Fund Sub- Adviser.

5. Materials.

To the extent an Acquiring Fund refers to one or more Acquired Funds in any prospectus, statement of additional information or otherwise, each Acquiring Fund agrees to:

a.Refer to such Acquired Funds with their full name as, for example, the “Global X [ ] ETF”; and
