This Authorized Participant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) and ________________________________ (the “Authorized Participant” or the “AP”) and is subject to acceptance by The Bank of New York Mellon (the “BNYM ETF Administrator” or the “Transfer Agent”). The Transfer Agent serves as the transfer agent for the NYLIM Active ETF Trust and the NYLIM ETF Trust (each a “Trust”) and is a Receipt Agent as that term is defined in the rules of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”). The Distributor, the Transfer Agent and the Authorized Participant acknowledge and agree that each Trust shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall receive the benefits contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent specified herein. The Distributor has been retained to provide services as principal underwriter of each Trust acting on an agency basis in connection with the sale and distribution of shares of beneficial interest, no par value (sometimes referred to as “Shares”), of each of the separate investment portfolios of each Trust (each such portfolio a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) named on Annex I to this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time.

As specified in each Trust’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) incorporated therein (collectively, the “Prospectus”) included as part of each Trust’s registration statement, as amended, on Form N-1A (“Registration Statement”), the Shares of any Fund offered thereby may be purchased or redeemed only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares referred to therein and herein as a “Creation Unit.” All references to “cash” shall refer to U.S. Dollars (“USD”). The number of Shares constituting a Creation Unit of each Fund is set forth in the Prospectus. Creation Units of Shares may be purchased only by or through an Authorized Participant that has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Distributor. The Prospectus provides that Creation Units generally will be sold in exchange for an in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity and/or fixed-income securities, as the case may be (the “Deposit Securities”) and/or an amount of cash computed as described in the Prospectus (the “Cash Component”), plus a purchase “Transaction Fee” as described in the Prospectus, delivered to each Trust by the Authorized Participant for its own account or acting on behalf of another party. Together, the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component constitute the “Fund Deposit.” References to the Prospectus are to the then-current Prospectus as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Prospectus.

This Agreement is intended to set forth certain premises and the procedures by which the Authorized Participant may purchase and/or redeem Creation Units of Shares (i) through the Continuous Net Settlement (“CNS”) clearing processes of NSCC as such processes have been enhanced to effect purchases and redemptions of Creation Units, such processes being referred to herein as the “CNS Clearing Process,” or (ii) outside the CNS Clearing Process (i.e., through the manual process of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (the “DTC Process”). The procedures for processing an order to purchase Shares (each a “Purchase Order”) and an order to redeem Shares (each a “Redemption Order”) are described in Annex II to this Agreement. All Purchase and Redemption Orders must be made pursuant to the procedures set forth in Annex II hereto, as it may be amended by each Trust from time to time as set forth in Section 17 herein.

An Authorized Participant may not cancel a Purchase Order or a Redemption Order after the Fund’s order window cut-off time in accordance with Annex II hereto.

Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Authorized Participant to create or redeem one or more Creation Units of Shares or to sell, offer or promote the Shares.

Any change in the foregoing status of the Authorized Participant shall automatically terminate this Agreement, and the Authorized Participant shall give prompt written notice to the Distributor or the Transfer Agent of such change.

(c) If the Authorized Participant is offering or selling Shares of any Fund of each Trust in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be registered, qualified, or a member of FINRA as set forth above, the Authorized Participant nevertheless agrees (i) to observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made; (ii) to comply with applicable disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (iii) to conduct its business in accordance with the spirit of NASD Conduct Rules (or of comparable FINRA Conduct Rules, if such NASD Conduct Rules are subsequently repealed, rescinded or otherwise replaced by FINRA Conduct Rules).

(d) The Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that it hasimplemented, and agrees to maintain an anti-money laundering program(the “AML Program”) reasonably designed to comply with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), each as amended from time to time, and any rules adopted thereunder and/or any applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations of other jurisdictions where the Authorized Participant conducts business, and any rules adopted thereunder or guidelines issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency. The Authorized Participant further represents and warrants that its AML Program includes, at a minimum, written policies, procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to (i) prevent, detect and report money laundering, and (ii) identify and verify through appropriate due diligence each of its clients that purchases Creation Units or Shares. The Authorized Participant further represents and warrants that its AML Program includes written policies, a designated compliance officer, ongoing training for employees, procedures for detecting and reporting suspicious transactions, and an independent audit to test the implementation of the program.

(e) The Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that it and/or its affiliates, or any party hired by it will not offer or distribute any Creation Units or any Shares to a client, including any government, entity or individual, where such an offer or distribution would be prohibited under the laws, rules, regulations, edicts, orders or resolutions of the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, or any other jurisdiction in which it is located, including but not limited to an offer or distribution of Creation Units or Shares to any government, entity or individual within Iran, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, or any other jurisdiction that becomes subject to a comprehensive trade embargo by the United Nations, EU, UK, or the United States, or to any person or entity listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List administered by the United States Department of the Treasury, as such programs and lists may be amended from time to time, or other blacklist administered by an agency of an applicable jurisdiction including an agency of the United States, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations.

(h) The Authorized Participant represents and warrants that it has not received notice of, and is not otherwise aware of, any claim, action, suit, proceedings, or investigation involving it with respect to laws or regulations regarding anti-money laundering, sanctions, or anti-corruption.

(i) The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that the method by which Creation Units will be created and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. For example, because new Creation Units may be issued and sold by each Trust on an ongoing basis, depending upon the facts and circumstances, at any point a “distribution,” as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may be deemed to have occurred at any point. The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that some activities on its part, depending on the circumstances and under certain possible interpretations of applicable law, may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner which could subject it to the prospectus delivery and related provisions of the 1933 Act that normally would be applicable to a statutory underwriter. The Authorized Participant should review the “Continuous Offering” section of the SAI and consult with its own counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and placing an Order (defined below). The Authorized Participant also understands and acknowledges that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are effecting transactions in Shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of Shares, may be required to deliver a prospectus.

The parties agree that either party may use such recordings in connection with any dispute or proceeding relating to this Agreement.

12. INDEMNIFICATION.

This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Authorized Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor, each Trust, the Transfer Agent and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each an “AP Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, liability, damage and reasonable cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) incurred by such AP Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of or as a result of (i) any material breach by the Authorized Participant of any provision of this Agreement that relates to such Authorized Participant; (ii) any representation provided by the Authorized Participant herein that is false or misleading or omits material information necessary to make the statement contained therein complete; (iii) any material failure on the part of the Authorized Participant to perform any of its obligations set forth in the Agreement; (iv) any material failure by the Authorized Participant to comply with applicable laws to the extent relating to its role as an authorized participant hereunder, including applicable rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”), except the Authorized Participant shall not be required to indemnify an AP Indemnified Party to the extent that such failure was caused by the Authorized Participant’s strict adherence to instructions reasonably given or representations made by such AP Indemnified Party; (v)(1) any representation by the Authorized Participant about the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party, each Trust or any Fund that is not consistent with each Trust’s then-current Prospectus made in connection with the offer or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell Shares, or (2) any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any research reports, Marketing Material or Communications described in Section 4 hereof or any omission of a material fact or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that such statement or omission relates to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party, each Trust or any Fund.

(c) This Section 12 shall not apply and a party shall not have an obligation to indemnify the other and its related indemnified persons to the extent that any Losses are directly caused by, incurred as a result of, or in connection with, any gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct on the part of the party seeking to be indemnified. The term “affiliate” in this Section 12 shall include, with respect to any person, entity or organization, any other person, entity or organization which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, entity or organization.

To the extent each Trust or the Distributor is required by law to pay any such tax or charge, the Authorized Participant agrees to promptly indemnify such party for any such payment, together with any applicable penalties, additions to tax or interest thereon. The Distributor agrees to use its best efforts to notify the Authorized Participant of all transfer taxes, sales or use taxes, stamp taxes, recording taxes, value added taxes or any other similar tax or government charge that the Authorized Participant may incur in the future in connection with the creation or redemption of any Creation Unit of Shares.

PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING

PURCHASE ORDERS AND REDEMPTION ORDERS

This ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ to the Authorized Participant Agreement supplements the Prospectus with respect to the procedures to be used in processing (1) a Purchase Order for the purchase of Shares of NYLIM Active ETF Trust and NYLIM ETF Trust (each a “Trust”) in Creation Units of each Fund issued by each Trust and (2) a Redemption Order for the redemption of Shares of each Fund in Creation Units of each Fund. Capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined in this ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, have the meanings attributed to them in the Authorized Participant Agreement or the Prospectus.

An Authorized Participant is required to have signed the Authorized Participant Agreement. Upon acceptance of the Agreement and execution thereof by the Company and in connection with the initial Purchase Order submitted by the Authorized Participant, the Transfer Agent will assign a PIN to each Authorized Person authorized to act for an Authorized Participant. This will allow an Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place a Purchase Order or Redemption Order with respect to the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of Shares of each Fund.

ANNEX II – Part A

AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

NYLIM ACTIVE ETF TRUST

NYLIM ETF TRUST

TO PLACE A PURCHASE ORDER FOR

CREATION UNIT(S) OF SHARES OF ONE OR MORE FUNDS

PLACING A PURCHASE ORDER.

The Authorized Participant (“AP”) submitting an order to create shall submit such orders containing the information required to the Transfer Agent either: (a) through the BNYM ETF Center Interface electronic order entry system (“BNYM Interface”), as such may be made available and constituted from time to time, the use of which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Electronic Services Agreement incorporated herein by reference; or (b) by telephone to the Transfer Agent Representative followed up with the faxed order form according to the procedures set forth below. The order so transmitted (either orally and in writing, or electronic form) is hereinafter referred to as the “Submission” or the “Purchase Order” as applicable, and the Business Day on which a Submission is made is hereinafter referred to as the “Transmittal Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Trust may, but is not required to, permit an order consisting of a Custom Basket (“Custom Order”) until 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, or until the market close (in the event the Exchange closes early).

NOTE THAT WHEN THE TELEPHONIC METHOD OF SUBMITTING ORDERS IS USED, THE TELEPHONE CALL IN WHICH THE SUBMISSION NUMBER IS ISSUED INITIATES THE ORDER PROCESS BUT DOES NOT ALONE CONSTITUTE THE ORDER. AN ORDER WILL ONLY BE PROCESSED UPON RECEIPT OF THE FAXED ORDER FORM SUBMISSION.

To begin a Purchase Order that is not submitted through the BNYM Interface, the Authorized Participant (“AP”) must telephone the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator at ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or such other number as BNYM designates in writing to the AP. This telephone call must be made by an Authorized Person of the AP and answered by the BNYM ETF Order Desk before the closing time of the regular trading session on the Listing Exchange, which is ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (“Listing Exchange Closing Time or Order Cutoff Time”). Upon verifying the authenticity of the AP (as determined by the use of the appropriate PIN), the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator will request that the AP place the Purchase Order. To do so, the AP must provide the appropriate ticker symbols when referring to each Fund. After the AP has placed the Purchase Order, the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator will read the Purchase Order back to the AP. The AP then must affirm that the Purchase Order has been taken correctly by the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator. If the AP affirms that the Purchase Order has been taken correctly, the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator will issue a confirmation number to the AP, which completes the order. All orders may also be placed by the AP via the BNYM Interface by the times described above.

Purchase Orders for select funds T-1 (T minus 1) Next Day International Market Orders, are to be placed after the Listing Exchange Closing Time of 4:00 PM and before 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on any Business Day. For such Funds, the Order Cutoff Time will be 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Such Purchase Orders, if accepted, will receive the next Business Days NAV per Creation Unit. The Transfer Agent’s telephone number for all T- l orders is ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇

PLEASE NOTE: A PURCHASE ORDER IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER IS ISSUED BY THE BNYM ETF ORDER DESK ADMINISTRATOR. WITH RESPECT TO EACH FUND, AN ORDER FOR FUND SHARES CAN NOT BE CANCELED BY THE AP AFTER THE LISTING EXCHANGE CLOSING TIME. INCOMING TELEPHONE CALLS ARE QUEUED AND WILL BE HANDLED IN THE SEQUENCE RECEIVED. ACCORDINGLY THE AP SHOULD NOT HANG UP AND REDIAL. CALLS THAT ARE IN PROGRESS AT THE CUTOFF TIME ARE VALID AND THE ORDER WILL BE TAKEN. PLEASE NOTE THAT “IN PROGRESS” IS DEFINED AS AN AP ACTUALLY SPEAKING WITH A BNYM ETF ORDER DESK ADMINISTRATOR. CALLS THAT ARE PLACED BEFORE THE CUTOFF TIME THAT ARE IN THE HOLDING QUEUE AND UNANSWERED AT OR AFTER THE CUTOFF WILL BE VERBALLY DENIED. INCOMING CALLS THAT ARE RECEIVED AFTER THE CUTOFF TIME WILL NOT BE ANSWERED BY THE BNYM ETF ORDER DESK. ALL TELEPHONE CALLS WILL BE RECORDED.

TRANSMISSION OF TRADE CONFIRMATION.

Subject to the conditions that a Purchase Order has been completed by the AP not later than the Order Cutoff Time and that the Distributor finds no cause to reject such Purchase Order for the reason(s) listed in Section 3 below, the Distributor will accept the Purchase Order on behalf of each Trust and will confirm in writing or electronically to the AP that its Purchase Order has been accepted within 45 minutes after the designated Order Cutoff Time on the Order Date (e.g., 4:45 PM ET or 6:15 PM ET, as appropriate).

Until such time as the Distributor confirms acceptance thereof, any Purchase Order remains subject to rejection by each Trust for any reason(s) listed in Section 3 below.

REJECTING OR SUSPENDING PURCHASE ORDERS.

Each Trust and the Distributor reserve the absolute right to reject acceptance of a Purchase Order for the following reasons: (i) the order is not in proper form as determined by each Trust, the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator or the Distributor; (ii) subject to Section 4 of this Annex II - Part A, the portfolio of Deposit Securities (and/or cash in lieu of names that the AP is not able to deliver in physical form) delivered is not as specified by the Distributor, (iii) the investor(s), upon obtaining the Shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding Shares of such Fund; (iv) acceptance of the Deposit Securities would have certain adverse tax consequences to each Trust or any Fund; (v) the acceptance of the Fund Deposit would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; or (vi) circumstances outside the control of Trust, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent make it impossible to process a Purchase Order. The Distributor shall notify the AP of a rejection of any Purchase Order. The Distributor and each Trust are under no duty, however, to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the delivery of Fund Deposits nor shall either of them incur any liability for the failure to give any such notification.

Each Trust acknowledges its agreement to return to the AP or any party for which it is acting any dividend, distribution or other corporate action paid to each Trust in respect of any Deposit Security that is transferred to each Trust that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security at the time of transfer, should have been paid to the AP or any party for which it is acting.

CONTRACTUAL SETTLEMENT.

(a)

Through the CNS Clearing Process:

(1)

Except as provided below, Deposit Securities of any Domestic Fund must be delivered through the NSCC to a DTC account maintained at the Custodian on or before the Domestic Contractual Settlement Date (defined below). The AP must also make available on or before the Contractual Settlement Date, by means satisfactory to each Trust, immediately available or same day funds estimated by each Trust to be sufficient to pay the Cash Component next determined after acceptance of the Purchase Order, together with the applicable purchase Transaction Fee. Any excess funds will be returned following settlement of the issue of the Creation Unit of Shares of each Trust. The “Contractual Settlement Date” is the earlier of: (i) the date upon which all of the required securities, any cash component and any other cash amounts which may be due are delivered to the Fund; and (ii) the settlement date of the Creation Unit. . Except as provided in the next two paragraphs, a Creation Unit of Shares of any Fund will be issued through the CNS system and the payment of the Cash Component and the purchase Transaction Fee through CNS in accordance with the terms, conditions and guarantees as set forth in CNS agreements to which the Custodian and AP have entered into.

(2)

Each Trust reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash (i.e., a “cash in lieu” amount) to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security with respect to any Domestic Fund which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or which may not be eligible for transfer through the CNS Clearing Process, or which may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC and hence not eligible for transfer through the CNS Clearing Process (discussed below). Additional cost, if any, to acquire the omitted securities will be at the expense of the AP.

(3)

Any settlement outside the CNS Clearing Process is subject to additional requirements and fees as discussed in the Prospectus.

(b)

Outside the CNS Clearing Process:

(1)

Except as provided below, Deposit Securities must be delivered to an account maintained at the applicable local Subcustodian on or before the International Contractual Settlement Date (defined below). The AP must also make available on or before the International Contractual Settlement Date, by means satisfactory to each Trust, immediately available or same day funds estimated by each Trust to be sufficient to pay the Cash Component next determined after acceptance of the Purchase Order, together with the applicable purchase Transaction Fee (as described in the Prospectus). Any excess funds will be returned following settlement of the issue of the Creation Unit of Shares. The “International Contractual Settlement Date” with respect to each International Fund is the earlier of (i) the date upon which all of the required Deposit Securities, the Cash Component and any other cash amounts which may be due are delivered to each Trust or (ii) the latest day for settlement on the customary settlement cycle in the jurisdiction(s) where any of the securities of such International Fund are customarily traded.

(2)

Except as provided in the next two paragraphs, a Creation Unit of Shares in any International Fund will not be issued until the transfer of good title to each Trust of the portfolio of Deposit Securities and the payment of the Cash Component and the purchase Transaction Fee have been completed. When the Subcustodian confirms to the Custodian that the required securities included in the Fund Deposit (or, when permitted in the sole discretion of each Trust, the cash value thereof) have been delivered to the account of the relevant Subcustodian, the Custodian shall cause the delivery of the Creation Unit of Shares.

(3)

Each Trust may in its sole discretion permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash (i.e., a “cash in lieu” amount) to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or for other similar reasons. If each Trust notifies the Distributor that a “cash in lieu” amount will be accepted, the Distributor will notify the AP and the Transfer Agent and the AP shall deliver, on behalf of itself or the party on whose behalf it is acting, the “cash in lieu” amount, with any appropriate adjustments as advised by each Trust which may include any difference between the actual cost to each Trust to acquire an omitted security and the value of the security had the security been delivered in kind. Additional amounts, if any, shall be included in the calculation of the Cash Component to be received, any excess amounts will be returned to the AP following settlement of the issue of the Creation Unit of Shares.

(4)

In the event that a Fund Deposit is incomplete on the settlement date for a Creation Unit of Shares because certain or all of the Deposit Securities are missing, each Trust may issue a Creation Unit of Shares notwithstanding such deficiency in reliance on the undertaking of the AP to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by such the AP’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash having a value at least equal to the percentage of the value of the missing Deposit Securities set forth in the Prospectus. The parties hereto agree that the delivery of such collateral shall be made in accordance with the Cash Collateral Settlement Procedures, which such procedures shall be provided to the AP by the Transfer Agent upon request. The parties hereto further agree that each Trust, acting in good faith, may purchase the missing Deposit Securities at any time and the AP agrees to accept liability for any shortfall between the cost to each Trust of purchasing such securities and the value of the collateral, which may be sold by each Trust at such time, and in such manner, as each Trust may determine in its sole discretion.

CASH PURCHASES.

When, in the sole discretion of each Trust, cash purchases of Creation Units of Shares are available or specified for a Fund, such purchases shall be affected in essentially the same manner as in-kind purchases thereof. In the case of a cash purchase or where the cash equivalent value of one or more Deposit Securities is being deposited in lieu of such Deposit Security, the AP must pay the cash equivalent of the Deposit Securities it would otherwise be required to provide through an in-kind purchase, plus the same Cash Component required to be paid by an in-kind purchaser. In addition, to offset each Trust’s brokerage, transaction, and other costs associated with using the cash to purchase the requisite Deposit Securities, the AP may be required to pay and additional Transaction Fee or adjustment as advised by each Trust which may include any difference between the actual cost to each Trust to acquire the Deposit Securities and the value of the Deposit Securities had the Deposit Securities been delivered. Such Transaction Fees and additional amounts, if any, shall be included in the calculation of the Cash Component to be received. Any excess amounts will be returned to the AP following settlement of the issue of the Creation Unit of Shares

CUSTOM BASKETS.

Each Trust has developed procedures for Creations and Redemptions using the standard baskets of Deposit Securities that differ from that published by NSCC as the then-existing portfolio basket for the Fund (a “Custom Basket”). In order for an AP to deliver or receive a Custom Basket to the Distributor or Transfer Agent and each Trust in connection with a purchase or redemption order rather than the standard basket of Deposit Securities published by NSCC together with the Cash Amount, any cash in lieu amounts and any other cash fees, the Distributor, the Funds’ investment adviser, or Trust must notify the AP that the Fund would like to effect the purchase or redemption through a Custom Basket and identify the contents of the Custom Basket on or prior to the time the AP calls with its Purchase Order and the AP must agree to deliver the Custom Basket in connection with the purchase. Prior to trade date, the Transfer Agent must notify NSCC of the Deposit Securities in the custom creation basket. In addition, the Adviser or Subadviser may construct additional Custom Baskets for a Fund directly with an AP without the involvement of the Fund’s administrator or publication of such Custom Basket to the NSCC or other APs and market participants.

SHORT SETTLEMENT TRANSACTIONS.

With respect to short settlement transactions, as may be permitted for certain Funds from time to time, each Trust may assess a cash collateral buffer as a percentage of the total order value. The cash collateral buffer would be added to the Cash Component of the basket. On the Business Day following the trade date of a short settlement transaction, each Trust will calculate the true-up amount and either instruct a return wire to the Participant with all or a portion of the cash collateral or require additional funds from the Participant. Each Trust requires the true-up amount from the Participant to be paid same day.

The Authorized Participant (“AP”) submitting an order to redeem shall submit such orders containing the information required to the Transfer Agent in the following manner: either: (a) through the BNYM ETF Center Interface electronic order entry system (“BNYM Interface”), as such may be made available and constituted from time to time, the use of which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Electronic Services Agreement incorporated herein by reference; or (b) by telephone to the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator followed up with the faxed order form according to the procedures set forth below, incorporated herein by reference. The order so transmitted (either orally and in writing, or electronic form) is hereinafter referred to as the “Submission” or the “Redemption Order” as applicable, and the Business Day on which a Submission is made is hereinafter referred to as the “Transmittal Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Trust may, but is not required to, permit an order consisting of a Custom Basket (“Custom Order”) until 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, or until the market close (in the event the Exchange closes early).

Redemption Orders for Creation Units of Shares may be initiated only on days that the Listing Exchange is open for trading. Redemption Orders may only be made in whole Creation Units of shares of each Fund. To begin a Redemption Order, that is not submitted through the BNYM Interface, the AP must telephone the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator at ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. This telephone call must be made by an Authorized Person of the AP and answered by THE BNYM ETF Order Desk before the closing time of the regular trading session on the Listing Exchange which is ordinarily 4:00p.m. Eastern Standard Time (“Listing Exchange Closing Time or Order Cutoff Time’). Upon verifying the authenticity of the AP (as determined by the use of the appropriate PIN), the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator will request that the AP place the Redemption Order. To do so, the AP must provide the appropriate ticker symbols when referring to a Fund. After the AP has placed the Redemption Order, the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator will read the Redemption Order back to the AP. The AP then must affirm that the Redemption Order has been taken correctly by the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator. If the AP affirms that the Redemption Order has been taken correctly, the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator will issue a confirmation number to the AP which completes the order. All orders may also be placed by the AP via the BNYM ETF Center Interface by the times described above

Redemption Orders for select funds (T-1 (T minus 1 )) Next Day International Market Orders, are to be placed after the Listing Exchange Closing Time of 4:00 PM and before 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on any Business Day. For such Funds, the Order Cutoff Time will be 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Such Redemption Orders, if accepted, will receive the next Business Day’s NAV per Creation Unit. The Transfer Agent telephone number for all T-1 orders is ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.

PLEASE NOTE: A REDEMPTION ORDER REQUEST IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER IS ISSUED BY THE BNYM ETF ORDER DESK ADMINISTRATOR. WITH RESPECT TO EACH FUND, AN ORDER FOR FUND SHARES CANNOT BE CANCELED BY THE AP AFTER THE LISTING EXCHANGE CLOSING TIME. INCOMING TELEPHONE CALLS ARE QUEUED AND WILL BE HANDLED IN THE SEQUENCE RECEIVED. ACCORDINGLY, THE AP SHOULD NOT HANG UP AND REDIAL. CALLS THAT ARE IN PROGRESS AT THE CUTOFF TIME ARE VALID AND THE ORDER WILL BE TAKEN. PLEASE NOTE THAT “IN PROGRESS” IS DEFINED AS AN AP ACTUALLY SPEAKING WITH A BNYM ETF ORDER DESK ADMINISTRATOR. CALLS THAT ARE PLACED BEFORE THE CUTOFF TIME THAT ARE IN THE HOLDING QUEUE AND UNANSWERED BY STAFF AT OR AFTER THE CUTOFF TIME, WILL BE VERBALLY DENIED. INCOMING CALLS THAT ARE RECEIVED AFTER THE CUTOFF TIME WILL NOT BE ANSWERED BY THE BNYM ETF ORDER DESK. ALL TELEPHONE CALLS WI LL BE RECORDED.

TRANSMISSION OF TRADE CONFIRMATION.

Subject to the condition that a Redemption Order has been completed by the AP not later than the Order Cutoff Time, the Transfer Agent will accept the Redemption Order on behalf of each Trust and will confirm in writing to the AP that its Redemption Order has been accepted within 45 minutes after the designated Order Cutoff Time on the Business Day that the Redemption Order is received (e.g., 4:45 PM ET or 6:15 PM ET, as appropriate). The Transfer Agent signs the approved written Redemption Order (indicating the time of its signature) and sends it to the AP.

REJECTING OR SUSPENDING REDEMPTION ORDERS.

The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed with respect to a Fund: (i) for any period during which the Listing Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (ii) for any period during which trading on the Listing Exchange is suspended or restricted; (iii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the shares of such Fund or determination of such Fund’s NAV is not reasonably practicable; or (iv) in such other circumstances as permitted by the SEC.

TAKING DELIVERY OF DEPOSIT SECURITIES.

The Deposit Securities constituting in-kind redemption proceeds will be delivered to the appropriate account, which must be indicated in the AP’s Standing Redemption Instructions. An Authorized Person of the AP may amend the AP’s Standing Redemption Instructions from time to time by writing to the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator and each Trust in a form approved by each Trust. A redeeming Beneficial Owner or the AP acting on behalf of such Beneficial Owner must maintain an appropriate securities broker-dealer, bank or other custody arrangements to which account such Deposit Securities will be delivered. Redemptions of Shares for Deposit Securities will be subject to compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws.

CONTRACTUAL SETTLEMENT.

(a)

Through the CNS Clearing Process:

(1) Except as provided below, the Shares of any Domestic Fund must be delivered through the NSCC to a DTC account maintained at the applicable custodian of any Domestic Fund on or before the Domestic Contractual Settlement Date (defined below). Each Trust will make available on the Domestic Contractual Settlement Date the Cash Component next determined after acceptance of the Redemption Order, less the applicable Transaction Fee. TThe “Contractual Settlement Date” is the earlier of: (i) the date upon which all of the required securities, any cash component and any other cash amounts which may be due are delivered to the Fund; and (ii) the settlement date of the Creation Unit. . Except as provided in the next two paragraphs, the Deposit Securities representing Creation Units of Shares and any cash component will be delivered concurrently with the transfer of good title to each Trust of the required number of Shares through the NSCC’s Continuous Net Settlement (CNS) system and the delivery of the Cash Component less the Transaction Fee through CNS.

(2) Each Trust reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash (i.e., a “cash in lieu” amount) to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security with respect to a Fund which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or which may not be eligible for transfer through the CNS Clearing Process, or which may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC and hence not eligible for transfer through the CNS Clearing Process (discussed below) and will be at the expense of the Fund and will affect the value of all Shares of such Fund; but each Trust, subject to the approval of the Board, may adjust the Transaction Fee within the parameters described below to protect ongoing shareholders. Any settlement outside the CNS Clearing Process is subject to additional requirements and fees as discussed in the Prospectus.

(3) In the event that the number of Shares is insufficient on the settlement date for Creation Unit(s) of Shares, each Trust may deliver the Deposit Securities notwithstanding such deficiency in reliance on the AP’s undertaking to deliver the missing Shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by such AP’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash having a value at least equal to the percentage of the value of the missing Deposit Securities set forth in the Prospectus. The parties hereto agree that the delivery of such collateral shall be made in accordance with the Cash Collateral Settlement Procedures, which such procedures shall be provided to the AP by the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator upon request. The parties hereto further agree that each Trust, acting in good faith, may purchase the missing Shares at any time and the AP agrees to accept liability for any shortfall between the cost to each Trust of purchasing such Shares and the value of the collateral, which may be sold by each Trust at such time, and in such manner, as each Trust may determine in its sole discretion.

(b)

Outside the CNS Clearing Process:

(1) Except as provided below, the Shares must be delivered to an account maintained at the Custodian on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which the NAV of the redemption was calculated. Each Trust will also make available on the International Contractual Settlement Date, immediately available or same day funds sufficient to pay the Cash Component next determined after acceptance of the Redemption Order, less the applicable Transaction Fee (as described in the Prospectus). The “International Contractual Settlement Date” of an International Fund is the earlier of (i) the date upon which all of the Deposit Securities are delivered to the AP or (ii) the latest day for settlement on the customary settlement cycle in the jurisdiction(s) where the any of the securities of such International Fund are customarily traded.

(2) Deliveries of redemption proceeds by a Fund generally will be made within three (3) Business Days. Due to the schedule of holidays in certain countries, however, the delivery of in-kind Deposit Securities of International Funds may take longer than three Business Days after the day on which the Redemption Order is placed.

(3) Except as provided in the next two paragraphs, the Deposit Securities will not be delivered until the transfer of good title to each Trust of the required Creation Unit(s) of Shares has been completed. When the Custodian confirms that the required Shares or, when permitted in the sole discretion of each Trust, the cash collateral has been received by the account, the Custodian will cause the delivery of the Deposit Securities.

(4) Each Trust may in its sole discretion permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash (i.e., a “cash in lieu” amount) to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or for other similar reasons. If each Trust notifies the Distributor that a “cash in lieu” amount will be delivered, the Distributor will notify the AP and the AP shall receive the “cash in lieu” amount, with any appropriate adjustments as advised by each Trust. The AP may also elect to replace any Deposit Securities with a “cash in lieu” amount to the extent that the AP is not authorized to purchase the particular Deposit Securities from the Fund or is not able to sell the particular Deposit Securities in the secondary market, consistent with restrictions in applicable law or the AP’s internal policies and procedures.

(5) In the event that the number of Shares is insufficient on the settlement date for Creation Unit(s) of Shares (Order Date +1), each Trust may deliver the Deposit Securities notwithstanding such deficiency in reliance on the AP’s undertaking to deliver the missing Shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by such AP’s delivery on Order Date +1 and subsequent maintenance of collateral consisting of cash having a value at least equal to the percentage of the value of the missing Deposit Securities set forth in the Prospectus. The parties hereto agree that the delivery of such collateral shall be made in accordance with the Cash Collateral Settlement Procedures, which such procedures shall be provided to the AP by the BNYM ETF Order Desk Administrator upon request. The parties hereto further agree that each Trust, acting in good faith, may purchase the missing Shares at any time and the AP agrees to accept liability for any shortfall between the cost to each Trust of purchasing such Shares and the value of the collateral, which may be sold by each Trust at such time, and in such manner, as each Trust may determine in its sole discretion.

CASH REDEMPTIONS.

In the event that, in the sole discretion of each Trust, cash redemptions are permitted or required by each Trust, proceeds will be paid to the AP redeeming Shares on behalf of the redeeming investor as soon as practicable after the date of redemption.

CUSTOM BASKETS.

STANDING REDEMPTION INSTRUCTIONS.
