THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE MARKETING AND SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Amendment
No. 1”), dated as of June 28, 2002, is made by and between Nationwide Financial
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NFS”) and Gartmore Global Investments,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GGI”).

 

WHEREAS, NFS and GGI have entered into a Marketing and Support Services
Agreement dated as of June 28, 2002 (the “Support Services Agreement”),
outlining the terms and conditions of their strategic alliance, a copy of which
is attached hereto; and

 

WHEREAS, NFS and GGI desire to amend the Support Services Agreement to clarify

contained and intending to be legally bound, NFS and GGI hereby agree as
follows:

amended and restated in its entirety in the form attached hereto to exclude any
reference to the Nationwide Savings Plan.

 

SECTION 2. General.

 

(a) Effective Date. This Amendment No. 1 shall be effective as of June 28, 2002.

 

(b) Multiple Originals. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

(c) Definitions of Certain Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, all
capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning
given them in the Support Services Agreement.

 

(d) Remainder of the Support Services Agreement to Remain in Full Force. Except
