7. Indemnification of Marketing Agent
- ETFS Marketing agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Marketing
Agent, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers and employees
of the foregoing, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing, from
and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the
reasonable cost of investigation) which the Marketing Agent or any such person
may incur under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”), the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage,
expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon:

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 any untrue statement or
 alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
 Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended or supplemented) or in
 a Prospectus (the term Prospectus being deemed to include the Prospectus and
 the Prospectus as amended or supplemented), or arises out of or is based upon
 any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
 stated in either such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or necessary
 to make the statements made therein not misleading, except for any statements
 provided in writing, directly or indirectly through ETFS Marketing, by the
 Marketing Agent to the Sponsor for inclusion in such Registration Statement
 or such prospectus or any material omissions therefrom; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 any untrue statement or
 alleged untrue statement of a material fact or breach by ETFS Marketing of
 any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 the failure by ETFS
 Marketing to perform when and as required any agreement or covenant contained
 herein;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 any untrue statement of
 any material fact contained in any audio or visual materials provided by ETFS
 Marketing or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of ETFS
 Marketing including, without limitation, slides, videos, films or tape
 recordings used in connection with the marketing of the Trust;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (e)

 	
 the Marketing Agent’s
 performance of its duties under this Agreement except in the case of this
 clause (e), for any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim resulting from
 the gross 

 

3

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 negligence or willful
 misconduct of the Marketing Agent. In no case is the indemnity of ETFS
 Marketing in favor of the Marketing Agent deemed to protect the Marketing
 Agent against any liability to ETFS Marketing to which the Marketing Agent
 would otherwise be subject by reason of 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.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 If any action, suit or
 proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against the Marketing Agent in
 respect of which indemnity may be sought against ETFS Marketing pursuant to
 the foregoing paragraph, the Marketing Agent shall promptly notify ETFS
 Marketing in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and ETFS Marketing
 shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of
 counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all
 fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify ETFS
 Marketing shall not relieve ETFS Marketing from any liability which it may
 have to the Marketing Agent hereunder except to the extent that it has been
 materially prejudiced by such failure. The Marketing Agent shall have the
 right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and
 expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Marketing Agent
 unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing
 by ETFS Marketing in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or ETFS
 Marketing shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the
 circumstances, employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such
 Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably
 concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are
 different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to ETFS
 Marketing (in which case ETFS Marketing shall not have the right to direct
 the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or
 parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by
 ETFS Marketing and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that ETFS
 Marketing shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
 counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of
 related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified
 parties who are parties to such Proceeding).

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 ETFS Marketing shall
 not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without ETFS
 Marketing’s written consent, but if settled with ETFS Marketing’s written
 consent, ETFS Marketing agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Marketing
 Agent from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party
 shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
 for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of
 the foregoing paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be
 liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written
 consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 Business Days
 after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such
 indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in
 accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii)
 such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30
 Business Days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party
 shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
 settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any
 indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
 sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes
 an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on
 claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an
 admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such
 indemnified party.

8. Indemnification of ETFS Marketing and the
Trust - The Marketing
Agent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ETFS Marketing and the
Trust, their partners, shareholders, members, directors, officers and employees
of the foregoing, and the controlling persons of all of the foregoing, within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and
the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing, from and against any loss,
damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of
investigation) which ETFS Marketing may incur under the 1933 Act, the Exchange
Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense,
liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with
information furnished in writing, directly or indirectly through ETFS
Marketing, by or on behalf of the Marketing Agent to the Sponsor expressly for
use in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended
or supplemented by any post-effective amendment thereof) or in a Prospectus, or
arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such
Registration Statement or such Prospectus or necessary to make such information
not misleading.

The Marketing Agent will
also indemnify ETFS Marketing and the Trust as stated above insofar as such
loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon the
Marketing Agent’s performance of its duties under this Agreement, except in the
case of any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of ETFS Marketing or the Trust. In no case is
the indemnity of the Marketing Agent in favor of ETFS Marketing and the Trust
to be deemed to protect ETFS Marketing and the Trust against any liability to
the Marketing Agent to which ETFS Marketing or the Trust would otherwise be
subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of ETFS
Marketing’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.

If any Proceeding is
brought against ETFS Marketing or the Trust in respect of which indemnity may
be sought against the Marketing Agent pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 8, ETFS Marketing shall promptly notify the Marketing Agent in writing
of the institution of such Proceeding and the Marketing Agent shall assume the
defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses;
provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Marketing Agent shall not
relieve the Marketing Agent from any liability hereunder which it may have to
ETFS Marketing except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by
such failure. ETFS Marketing and the Trust shall have the right to employ their
own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of ETFS Marketing unless the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by the Marketing Agent in connection with the
defense of such Proceeding or the Marketing Agent shall not have, within a reasonable
period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such
Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or
additional to or in conflict with those available to the Marketing Agent (in
which case the Marketing Agent shall not have the right to direct the defense
of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, but the
Marketing Agent may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Marketing
Agent), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the
Marketing Agent and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the
Marketing Agent shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of
related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified
parties who are parties to such Proceeding). 

The Marketing Agent shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without the
written consent of the Marketing Agent but if settled with the written consent
of the Marketing Agent, the Marketing Agent agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless ETFS Marketing and the Trust from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any
time

5

an indemnified party
shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of the
foregoing paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if
(i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 Business Days after receipt by
such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request
prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall
have given the indemnifying party at least 30 Business Days’ prior notice of
its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter
of such Proceeding.
