(d) The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Client and each of its Trustees and officers and any person who controls the Client within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (for purposes of this paragraph, the Client and each of its Trustees and officers and its controlling persons are collectively referred to as the “Client Indemnitees”) against any Losses arising out of or based upon (i) the allegation of any wrongful act of the Distributor or any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates or subcontractors in connection with its activities as Distributor pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the breach of any obligation, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement by the Distributor; (iii) the Distributor’s failure to comply in any material respect with applicable securities laws, including applicable FINRA regulations; or (iv) any allegation that the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, product description, shareholder reports, Marketing Materials or other information filed or made public by the Client (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading, insofar as such statement or omission was made in reasonable reliance upon, and in conformity with information furnished to the Client, in writing, by the Distributor.

(e) In no case (i) is the indemnification provided by an indemnifying party to be deemed to protect against any liability the indemnified party would otherwise be subject to by reason of the indemnified party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the indemnifying party to be liable under this Section with respect to any claim made against any indemnified party unless the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the indemnified party (or after the indemnified party shall have received notice of service on any designated agent).

(f) Failure to notify the indemnifying party of any claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to the indemnified party against whom such action is brought, under this Section 6, unless failure or delay to so notify the indemnifying party prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against such claim. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, but if the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it. If the indemnifying party does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by it.

(g) No indemnified party shall settle any claim against it for which it intends to seek indemnification from the indemnifying party, under the terms of Section 6(a) or 6(b) above, without prior written notice to and consent from the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnified or indemnifying party shall settle any claim unless the settlement contains a full release of liability with respect to the other party in respect of such action. This Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(h) The Client acknowledges and agrees that as part of its duties, the Distributor will enter into agreements with certain authorized participants (each an “AP”) for the purchase and redemption of Creation Units (each such agreement an “AP Agreement”). The APs may insert and require that the Distributor agree to certain provisions in the AP Agreements that contain certain representations, undertakings and indemnifications that are not included in the form of AP Agreement (each such modified AP Agreement a “Non-Standard AP Agreement”).

(i) Client shall indemnify, defend and hold the Distributor Indemnitees free and harmless from and against any and all Losses that any Distributor Indemnitee may incur arising out of or relating to (i) the Distributor’s actions or failures to act pursuant to any Non-Standard AP Agreement; (ii) any representations made by the Distributor in any Non-Standard AP Agreement to the extent that the Distributor is not required to make such representations in the form of AP Agreement; or (iii) any indemnification provided by the Distributor under a Non-Standard AP Agreement. In no event shall anything contained herein be so construed as to protect the Distributor Indemnitees against any liability under a Non-Standard AP Agreement to which the Distributor Indemnitees would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of the Distributor’s obligations or duties under the Non-Standard AP Agreement or by reason of the Distributor’s reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Non-Standard AP Agreement.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, or as otherwise requested by the Client, all Confidential Information held by or on behalf of the Client shall be promptly returned to the Client, or an authorized officer of the Distributor will certify to the Client in writing that all such Confidential Information has been destroyed. This Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose the other’s Confidential Information if (i) required by law, regulation or legal process or if requested by the SEC or other governmental regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the parties hereto, in each case with as much prior written notice to the other party as is practicable under the circumstances or (ii) requested to do so by the other party.

15. Limitation of Liability.

This Agreement is executed by or on behalf of the Client with respect to each of the Funds and the obligations hereunder are not binding upon any of the trustees, officers or shareholders of the Client individually but are binding only upon the Fund to which such obligations pertain and the assets and property of such Fund. Crossmark ETF Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized in series of which each Fund constitutes one such series, and the Client is executing this Agreement with respect to each Fund individually. Pursuant to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Client and Section 3804(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, there is a limitation on liabilities of each series such that (a) separate

and distinct records are maintained for each Fund and the assets associated with any such Fund are held and accounted for separately from the other assets of the Client, or any other Fund of the Client. The debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Fund of the Client shall be enforceable against the assets of that Fund only, and not against the assets of the Client generally or any other Fund, and (b) none of the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to the Client generally or any other Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of that Fund.

16. Use of Names; Publicity.

(a) The Client shall not use the Distributor’s name in any offering material, shareholder report, advertisement or other material relating to the Client, in a manner not approved by the Distributor in writing prior to such use, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Distributor hereby consents to all uses of its name required by the SEC, any state securities commission, or any federal or state regulatory authority.

(b) The Distributor shall not use the Client’s name in any offering material, shareholder report, advertisement or other material relating to the Distributor, other than for the purpose of merely identifying Crossmark ETF Trust as a client of the Distributor in a manner not approved by the Client in writing prior to such use, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Client hereby consents to all uses of its name required by the SEC, any state securities commission, or any federal or state regulatory authority.

The Distributor will not issue any press releases or make any public announcements regarding the existence of this Agreement without the express written consent of the Trust.
